Chapter 2658: Cannot Be Underestimated
Feng Yiping soon learned the good news, and he was naturally a little happy.
Although he now thinks that Twitter is actually a bit like a piece of chicken ribs, because Facebook will soon be no worse than Twitter in related aspects.
But considering that Twitter is another well-known social product in the world besides Facebook, he thinks that it is a good thing to acquire it at a low price.
While answering the phone, he thought of Masayoshi Son.
I believe this news will make you unhappy, haha, you're welcome!
Although Masayoshi Son did not expect such a result because Twitter resolutely refused to answer his call, when he learned the relevant news from Facebook and Twitter half an hour later, this man who was once respected by his country as the "Internet Emperor" and had a very strong will could not hide his frustration again.
Looking at the elites outside the window who were taking his huge salary and seemed to be busy, he couldn't suppress his irritability in his heart. These poor executions, these guys who don't live up to their names!
What he didn't know was that after learning the news about Twitter, some of the executives were also silently using this word to evaluate him, "Internet Emperor?"
A guy who doesn't live up to his name!
Don't you realize that it looks like you are being led by the nose?
Originally, as long as the offer was reasonable, Twitter should have been acquired smoothly. If you didn't think Feng Yiping's side seemed to be uninterested in Twitter, so you took the opportunity to lower the price, it would not have led to the current result.
The acquisition agreement between Twitter and Facebook has also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of those who are doing the work.
Masayoshi Son also considered this issue at this time. Is it possible that one of the reasons why Feng Yiping and Microsoft jointly acquired Yahoo is actually to make him give up Twitter?
As soon as this thought came up, he felt more and more that this speculation was right.
Suddenly, the frustration in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He also thought that he was indeed being led by Feng Yiping.
However, another setback made him firm in his belief that Yahoo must not be lost.
So, on the afternoon of the day he received the news, he no longer stayed in New York to cover up his mistake, but flew directly to Silicon Valley and quickly held a meeting. After expressing his determination, he immediately flew back to Japan. The main task of his trip was to raise funds.
And the main target of his fundraising in Japan this time was the branches of Chinese banks in Japan.
He did this not because he was angry with Feng Yiping, but because it was a very realistic choice.
Before that, they had tried to contact the headquarters of Chinese banks and had contacted the branches of Chinese banks in Europe and the United States many times, but in the end, none of them expressed interest.
Masayoshi Son later expressed his understanding of this. Who told him that the party against him was Feng Yiping?
But he believed that it should be different in Japan.
Regardless of the opinions of the headquarters, Chinese banks in Japan would definitely be happy to strengthen cooperation with companies like SoftBank. No matter how great Feng Yiping's influence was, it was impossible for these Chinese banks in Japan not to consider such a large amount of business and the opportunity to truly open up the situation in the Japanese market.
Feng Yiping soon received relevant news, but he was indeed somewhat helpless about it.
He could certainly tell Mr. Zhou, but so what? Would that really make all the Chinese banks in Japan reject SoftBank?
Banks are profit-seeking institutions after all.
Moreover, even if they really suppress it, I believe that there must be a lot of people in those banks who are very angry with Feng Yiping.
So, let it go!
Generally speaking, the overseas offices of domestic banks are relatively more commercialized. At least, there will be no policy-based loans, that is, the control of risks will be stronger.
Two days later, when Mr. Zhou called him personally to ask about the relevant situation, Feng Yiping did not express any objection at all. On the contrary, he said sincerely, "I have no opinion on their normal business activities."
"Haha Yiping, I just said that some of our comrades always think too much," Mr. Zhou sounded very happy.
So, someone expressed relevant concerns in front of Mr. Zhou?
Is this their own opinion, or does Masayoshi Son want to hear the answer?
"It's nothing. Anyway, I can't be a factor that hinders their business, right?" Feng Yiping also laughed, "But Mr. Zhou, I still want to say one more thing. They can also strictly control risks, right?"
Regarding SoftBank's financial situation, he and Microsoft basically agree that the gap should be around 20 billion US dollars.
He is worried that some people will get excited and say they will take it all.
This is not impossible, because he believes that at such a critical moment, Masayoshi Son will dare to pay a price that will make the relevant people excited.
As a veteran investor, he has relationships with banks all over the world, such as Swiss banks.
Such relationships undoubtedly give him a greater advantage, allowing some people to take the benefits without any worries.
"Why, do you think this business will be risky?" Mr. Zhou's voice changed.
Because he knew that Feng Yiping's opinion was definitely authoritative in this regard.
"I am mainly worried that some people will be too ambitious," Feng Yiping said very tactfully.
"I see," Teacher Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, "You don't have to worry about this at all. There are naturally limits on the amount,"
"Then I have no problem," Feng Yiping also relaxed after hearing this.
On the way to the hospital, he even thought that if things went as smoothly as he imagined, then maybe he could acquire some of SoftBank's assets from those banks in the future?
Well, don't think so for the time being!
The hospital is already in sight ahead.
…………
The ward, which was originally very bright and more than 20 square meters, was now a little crowded. In front of the bed, the excited adults completely pushed Liang Yonggao, the father, aside.
Xiao Cai leaned on the pillow, holding a tightly wrapped little guy in her arms, with a happy smile on her face.
Because of the entangled umbilical cord, they finally chose a caesarean section at the doctor's suggestion, so she looks quite energetic now.
Liang Yonggao, who was tiptoeing towards the house, first spotted Feng Yiping, who was holding a bouquet in one hand and a gift bag in the other, and exclaimed in surprise, "Yiping, why are you here?"
"Congratulations!" Feng Yiping smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Cai!"
Looking at the somewhat stunned relatives of their two families, he smiled and greeted them, "Hello, uncle and aunt! Hello, everyone!"
Immediately, Feng Yiping was drowned in the enthusiastic Northeastern dialect and Southern dialect.
For the relatives of Liang Yonggao and Xiao Cai, Feng Yiping's visit to Xiao Cai at this time was really no less surprising than the fact that Xiao Cai gave birth to a fat boy.
The four who had just become grandparents and grandparents were all smiling at this time, because this fully demonstrated Feng Yiping's attention to Liang Yonggao and Xiao Cai, and fully demonstrated his success in educating his children.
Liang Yonggao and Xiao Cai were actually equally happy.
Especially Liang Yonggao, compared with Xiao Cai's family, their overall strength is really much worse, but just now he found that after Feng Yiping put his arm around his shoulders to congratulate him, his father-in-law looked at him differently.
"Mr. Feng, please sit down," "Mr. Feng, please have some tea," "Mr. Feng, please have some fruit,"...
Liang Yonggao and others can call Feng Yiping by name, but other people are very polite to Feng Yiping.
"No, no, I'll just stand," Feng Yiping carefully picked up the little guy who was still spitting bubbles, and asked Liang Yonggao beside him with a smile, "How is it, are you a little dizzy with happiness?"
"Yes, I'm still confused now," Liang Yonggao said, "Is it okay for you to come here?"
"Is there anything more important than this?"
As soon as these words came out, the relatives became more enthusiastic. Feng Yiping greeted them, and his eyes swept over the piles of milk powder and nutritional supplements on the side, and suddenly felt as if something happened.
What is it?
His eyes finally stopped at the milk powder, how could I forget this?
…………
After leaving the United States, Son Masayoshi was very efficient. He traveled around Japan and the Middle East, and in just a few days, he actually raised most of the funds.
He once again proved himself with his actions.
