Chapter 2664: Son Masayoshi's New Conditions

San Francisco, Hilton Hotel near Fisherman's Wharf.

At around 10 a.m., Microsoft and NEXTDOOR's negotiator, Scott of Microsoft, smiled and shook hands with the Yahoo team across the street and said goodbye.

He felt that the communication today was very effective.

He could feel that the Yahoo team, of course, did not agree with their plan very much, but still appreciated it.

This made him feel that this work that attracted much attention should be completed before Children's Day.

Victory, of course, will belong to Microsoft.

"Look forward to our next meeting," he said with a smile.

The hard bones have been chewed, or in other words, if we take the example of a man-woman relationship, the current situation is that after these days of communication, both parties have a very deep understanding of each other, so the next step is to send an invitation to the other party at the door to "come in for coffee" and have "deeper communication".

Speaking of this, he actually prefers the original itinerary.

The first few contacts were all conducted in the Yahoo campus. For him and other members of the group, it felt like they were arriving, or entering the house from the beginning.

That feeling is undoubtedly wonderful.

After all, this is Yahoo.

However, as more companies became interested, Yahoo chose this place as the venue for the talks in order to reduce the impact on employees. In comparison, it was really less fun.

However, it didn't matter. It wouldn't be long before they would return to the Yahoo campus as heroes. Well, by then, it might have become another Microsoft campus.

When they went down to the hotel lobby, someone said, "Hey, look, it's them."

A group of people happened to walk in at the door, including several ordinary Japanese people. They were the SoftBank negotiation team.

"Hi Robert," Scott greeted the person in charge, SoftBank's senior vice president and chief legal officer, "Do you have any plans this morning?"

After all, it was almost lunch time.

"A meeting that was proposed at the last minute," Robert looked in a good mood.

A meeting that was proposed at the last minute? This made Scott a little wary.

In his experience, in such a process, temporary arrangements often mean changes.

The smile on Robert's face and the mental state of their entire team at this time made Scott have some bad guesses, that is: they might be in trouble.

However, he quickly imagined it and felt that at this time, SoftBank really didn't have too many means to make them feel troubled.

They naturally knew that Masayoshi Son had returned to the United States, and it was said that he returned to the United States with money.

But so what?

"I heard that you have finally almost raised the required funds, congratulations," he said with a smile.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say that we have never worried about money from the beginning to now, so Robert, you have worked hard during this period,"

Many people on his side laughed out loud.

Bill Gates and other senior executives are okay, but specifically at the bottom, many guys at Microsoft actually have a kind of arrogance that they are the best in the world, and don't be too sarcastic about their opponents.

They don't have any "being kind" requirements.

Especially for the SoftBank guys, they really don't have any good feelings at all.

If it weren't for Masayoshi Son's first intervention, after Mr. Feng convinced Chief Yang, their acquisition of Yahoo should have been a natural thing.

But his words didn't have much effect.

"We just spent a little time on mobilizing funds," Robert also smiled, "You know, we are ready now, not just funds,"

"Really?" Scott glanced at him, then looked at his people and smiled, "Haha, indeed, you need to prepare more than just 'mobilizing' funds. The problem is that even if you are ready now, I think it's too late,"

"But to be honest, I still admire your spirit. You can stick to it until now. Man, you have succeeded, good job!" He gave a thumbs up to the other side.

But everyone knows that he must not mean to praise.

"Scott, I hope you can still be so confident and relaxed next time," Robert patted him on the shoulder, "Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Scott looked at their backs, his expression solemn, "Collect relevant information immediately,"

He urgently needed to know how Robert, who had always been following behind them and being suppressed by them, could be so calm and so arrogant today.

…………

In the meeting room upstairs, watching Robert and a group of people from Softbank walk in, the people on the Yahoo side were somewhat helpless. What plans are you going to propose today that will make us speechless?

Of course, he still had expectations.

They naturally knew that Masayoshi Son had come to the United States again, and it was said that he had finally raised the required funds, so do you want to increase the offer again?

That would be a great welcome!

"Everyone, we have a major revision to the previous conditions," Scott said directly as soon as he sat down, "We promise that after the acquisition, we will accept all of Yahoo's existing employees,"

"What?" Yahoo obviously didn't believe their ears.

But then someone asked, "What about the time limit?"

Robert raised two fingers high and said, "Two years, within two years, we will not lay off any personnel,"

At this time, no one is taking advantage of me. If I don’t do anything, you won’t lay off me?

There will definitely be relevant details for such a clause.

Then someone asked again, "What about the treatment?"

"Stay the same," Robert said easily.

Half an hour later, Scott received the relevant notification, "What, are they crazy?"

While he was still sitting in the car, his head hit the roof of the car hard with a "boom".

…………

The bank of the Huangpu River not long after.

When she woke up, Zheng Jiayi was a little confused. She stared for a while before realizing that it was very late, or in other words, very early, because the bedroom was pitch dark.

Only then did the ringtone of the mobile phone become clearer. In such a dark night, the fluorescence of the mobile phone screen was actually a bit dazzling.

"Hello, Chen Shi," she got out of bed while answering the phone, squinting and getting ready to change clothes.

Because it's not yet half past four.

Given the nature of her job, if a subordinate calls at such a time, it must mean trouble.

What kind of problem will it be? Could it be a problem with foreign companies?

She dug around in the closet, feeling a little excited.

Until now, this is the second time she has experienced this kind of experience, and she actually likes this opportunity to comprehensively test one's abilities.

"Jiayi, the Internet is going crazy right now," Chen Shi said with excitement in his voice, "You'll understand as soon as you see it."

Zheng Jiayi's hand stopped. It didn't sound like a bad situation that she needed to deal with immediately?

"What happened?" she asked.

"This is a good thing that will put us in a very proactive position," Chen Shi said. "I have sent the link to your email."

Good thing? Zheng Jiayi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

It's a good thing that you woke me up in the middle of the night. Don't you know that my skin can't stand staying up late?

Her professional habits make her hide her emotions, and she never forgets to remind her subordinates, "At times like this, pay attention to the impact."

Although life still has to go by, at times like this, people on their team must pay attention to the impact of every move they make.

"I know, I know," Chen Shi said, "You will understand once you see it,"

This really made Zheng Jiayi curious, because both domestic and foreign business were developing in an orderly and stable manner, and it seemed that nothing great would happen that would make Chen Shi so excited.

The only possibility is the ongoing project to acquire Yahoo in Silicon Valley, but she knows very well that that project is mainly based on Microsoft. Moreover, such a high-dollar merger and acquisition project contains corresponding high risks, so even if it succeeds , and it would not make Chen Shi so happy.

She opened her mailbox and saw the same thing when she clicked on it. It wasn't a portal, but a forum?

Is this the news, or is it unofficial?

Is that worth being so happy?

But she thought the title of the post was interesting, "I have to stand up and say a few words,"

It seems that the person who posted this should be on the boss's side.

"I am a fellow villager of Mr. Feng and a staff member of the provincial Red Cross Society..." The provincial Red Cross Society? Zheng Jiayi suddenly became interested...
