Chapter 2696 Chess Piece

The Gates at this moment is completely different from the Gates Feng Yiping had contact with in the past.

His waist finally straightened up, and his eyes no longer looked careless. They were shining behind his glasses. His hair was still smoothed down like most engineers, but at this time, even the white hair on the temples was raised. , all bring great pressure to people.

After all, he is the person who founded the largest and most profitable high-tech company in the world. After all, he was the richest person in the world for 13 consecutive years from 1995 to 2007. After he seriously expressed doubts, It is implied that Feng Yiping intends to stop the acquisition because he showed his momentum in front of Feng Yiping for the first time when he was thinking about Google, Microsoft's current largest competitor.

Frankly speaking, it’s really not built.

When he narrows his eyes and focuses the light, it really makes people feel that even the air is a little frozen.

At this moment, Bill Gates, who was evaluated by many people as "no grass will grow once Microsoft is gone", has returned to him.

Sharp, ruthless, and a little cold.

Until Feng Yiping smiled chicly.

"Hehehe," Feng Yiping looked at him and laughed.

His laughter made the solemn atmosphere in the library quickly come alive again; his laughter also made Bill Gates, who just a moment ago was like a huge hydrogen balloon that was so full that it made a dangerous squeaking sound, row after row. There was no sound of anger, it just deflated all of a sudden.

Bill Gates feels that he should be annoyed. When you are at full strength, the person opposite feels as relaxed as the spring breeze blowing on your face. This can really be said to be a disregard for your strength and dignity.

ignore me?

I am the richest man on the planet. I am the one who puts my hands lazily in my trouser pockets whenever I meet any political dignitary. I am 25 years older than you, and I have written the most valuable book in the world. The coding people…

But it was really hard to make Feng Yiping angry with Feng Yiping, who was smiling handsomely.

He even discovered that when Feng Yiping smiled like this, he could actually see his double eyelids?

It turns out that he is a well-hidden double?

"What, Feng, do you think it's funny?" he asked.

The voice was still a little cold.

"Bill, I'm very happy that you can be so candid," Feng Yiping replied with a smile.

"I don't think this question is funny, I just feel that I don't need to answer this question at all,"

"I really don't believe that you didn't consider this issue when you decided to join forces with me to acquire Yahoo,"

"And since you all agree that we will work together as a joint actor to acquire Yahoo, this naturally means that you don't believe that such a thing will happen, right?"

Feng Yiping analyzed it in a few words.

The reason why he can still be so calm and unrestrained even when Bill Gates is firing on all cylinders is not because of the high oil prices. His net worth has already surpassed that of Bill Gates at this time, but because he has long understood that Gates The problem mentioned has long been no longer a problem.

If it was a problem, we would have talked about it before we started working together, or we wouldn't have joined forces with him at all.

Gates looked at Feng Yiping for a while and then laughed, "Hahaha, of course we don't think so. We all believe in your integrity, Feng,"

He believed that people like Feng Yiping would not favor Google and set a trap for Microsoft on such a major matter.

Because Feng Yiping knew very well the consequences of doing so.

Only those guys who don't know the importance will have the rashness to challenge Microsoft.

As for cheating Microsoft, in this world, only the European Union, which has many problems and is particularly arrogant, dares to try.

"But I believe that after the news spreads in the future, some of us may inevitably think so. However," he waved his hand, "those are not important. We will do a good job in explaining the relevant things."

"It's just Feng," he picked up the beer in his hand and gestured to Feng Yiping, "do you really think we don't need to pay such a high price to acquire Yahoo?"

Just because you picked up a beer and touched it with me, doesn't it mean that you actually agree with it?

But since you agree, then I have to work harder.

"I don't want to call it quits now. We can still try to increase the price again, for example, to $48 billion,"

"After all, Yahoo is very satisfied with our other related plans, but they are not satisfied with the acquisition price, right?"

"But if we offer 48 billion US dollars and Yahoo is still not satisfied, then whether SoftBank increases the price or not, there is no need for us to continue, and I have to stop,"

As for whether SoftBank will increase the price based on US$48 billion? Do you still need to ask?

Under such circumstances, Sun Zhengyi will never care about the last tremor. Feng Yiping can even conclude that he will definitely raise it to 50 billion US dollars in one fell swoop.

This is why Gates doesn’t seem to want to continue. He suggested another round of price increase, and OnePlus is $2 billion.

If they add another US$2 billion, the high probability means that even if Sun Zhengyi acquires Yahoo, he will have to pay an additional US$4 billion in real money.

"Even though he knew it would have no effect, he still insisted on raising the price," Gates looked at Feng Yiping, "Feng, I really feel that this time, you had a comprehensive plan for this acquisition very early, and you The focus of the attack is actually SoftBank’s grandson,”

"It seems like he did something that really pissed you off,"

Feng Yiping was a little surprised. You said that you are so big, so established, so experienced and a super rich man, could you not pay attention to such false news?

"You really have calculated everything correctly," Gates said expressionlessly, "but neither I nor Microsoft will be happy to be used as a pawn by you."

"Bill, we are partners, but you don't believe me so much? Or, you actually think I can be so powerful?"

"Please, how could I look so far ahead when I proposed joining forces with you?"

For such a thing, even if Gates and others have evidence, they will not admit it to death.

"Or you can just pretend that I haven't said anything today and you can continue to raise the price until the acquisition is successful, but I reiterate that the Yahoo Japan business I hope to get will not accept an acquisition price of more than $50 billion. ,"

Gates immediately pointed at him and said, "Look, you value Yahoo Japan so much, and you still don't admit that it's because of you that SoftBank is willing to bid for us at all costs?"

Feng Yiping spread his hands and said, "Bill, since you said so, fine, I will give up Yahoo Japan, but I hope to get Yahoo's search and online advertising business, okay?"

Of course, Gates shook his head immediately. This is the business segment of Yahoo that they value most.

"So you see, the reason why I proactively promised that after the acquisition is successful, I only hope to get Yahoo Japan, which is not the core of Yahoo, is entirely for the sake of Microsoft. And you obviously know this, but why do you still make such an interpretation?"

Again, even if Gates is sure about such a thing, he will never admit it.

"It seems that when I cooperate with Microsoft in the future, I will not give in,"

Gates felt at this time that Ballmer should really be allowed to attend this meeting because Feng Yiping was so eloquent.

But he knew that it was not good for him to do that. Even at home, it would not be a decent thing for him and Ballmer to join forces to face Feng Yiping, their partner.

He also knew that the reason why Feng Yiping rushed to Seattle and went to his home to discuss this issue was not only to show that he valued it, but also to show his magnanimity.

Regarding acquisitions, he did make great efforts. He perfectly persuaded Jerry to agree to sell Yahoo, thereby removing the biggest obstacle to Microsoft's acquisition.

The current situation can only be said to be caused by our own incompetence.

"I think that since Microsoft wants to develop in the Internet field, there are many ways to do it. With this US$50 billion, how many web2.0 companies can it acquire? Why should it compete with an irrational gambler?"

There are some things that, as his current acquisition partner, it is difficult for him to say.

Because he knew that Microsoft finally gave up on acquiring Yahoo, but it was later hailed as the most successful acquisition in the high-tech field, because Yahoo's market value soon fell to less than 20 billion US dollars.

Ballmer seemed to have said later that giving up was Microsoft's greatest luck.

Although this time, the situation has changed, and Yahoo seems to be taken over by Son Zhengyi, but, hum, his future situation will only be worse.

Feng Yiping only wanted Sun Zhengyi to spend a lot of money to take over Yahoo, but he would never let Yahoo regain its glory in the hands of Sun Zhengyi.

"Of course, you can also discuss with Ballmer and just give up without increasing the price," he added.

This time, Gates took the initiative to shake his head and just gave up. Wouldn’t that be giving SoftBank an advantage? If possible, of course let him pay a greater price.
