Chapter 2711 Must See
Feng Yiping soon received a call from Lao Ma, "It's not just meeting you, but you still want to pay me a visit?"
What medicine is he selling in this gourd?
Now, in addition to investing heavily in Yahoo and getting returns that are the envy of many people, Son has another equally rare achievement: defeating the alliance between Microsoft and NEXTDOOR.
And they have shouted out more than once that they will give life to Yahoo and help Yahoo regain its glory just like before.
It can be said that all of this was shouted out in the face of Microsoft and NEXTDOOR, plus those things during the bidding process for Yahoo, not to mention that he knew that Feng Yiping also knew that he hid behind and gathered those people. A large group of people conspired to target Feng Yiping's affairs in the American company...
He and Feng Yiping had already broken up with each other, why should they meet again?
We met, what did we talk about?
Oh, you said sorry and we didn't move forward together without anything else?
Feng Yiping is not so generous, and he believes that Son Zhengyi will not be so naive.
"I don't think there's anything good to do," Feng Yiping said. "Rather than meet and break up on bad terms, it's better not to meet each other and make everyone feel comfortable."
Lao Ma said, "That's what I mean too. I originally wanted to reply to him like this for you. Now that the situation is like this, what else can you do?"
"Furthermore, based on what I know about him, he may have two intentions in proposing to meet. One is to convince you, soften you, and gain valuable time for them to work on Yahoo in the United States," Lao Ma analyzed .
Feng Yiping thought so too.
Say something nice, show some sincerity, etc. I hope that his NEXTDOOR will not fully target Yahoo from the beginning, and may also hope to use Feng Yiping to influence Google.
"It is also possible that he hopes to agree on a scope with you. It may be like this. If we want to compete, we will compete in the United States. In other countries and regions, we do not need to be so specific in some investments,"
This is also very possible, because we are the most active country in the world for Internet entrepreneurship, and SoftBank has also regarded our domestic Internet companies as the focus of investment and future growth. However, because of Feng Yiping’s sniping, they have achieved nothing recently. , the future is even less optimistic.
He should also hope to reach an understanding with Feng Yiping on this issue.
But Feng Yiping also won't compromise in this regard. Why should I give up my advantages in vain?
It’s not that I don’t understand the nature of you and the country and nation behind you.
To you, such tolerance and generosity is like beating a dog with a meat bun, and that dog will never change its habit of eating...
"You are right in your analysis, Lao Ma, I don't want to see him at all," Feng Yiping said, "Please just reply to him for me like this,"
He estimated that Masayoshi Son’s proposal may have such a meaning. At a time when Microsoft, Google, and his NEXTDOOR are actively preparing to target Yahoo, which was acquired by SoftBank, the meeting between him and Feng Yiping was very interesting. It may have a certain impact on this de facto alliance and deepen the suspicion and distrust between them.
"Okay, to be honest, I'm too busy right now. I don't want to or have time to see him," Lao Ma said. "By the way, aren't you in charge of our logistics? Why did you end up in the stands?"
"Hey, this is really work," Feng Yiping laughed.
This morning there is a badminton match that Zhang Yan likes.

London.
Although he had been prepared for it, when he saw the weekly income again, Li Ruiyuan, who was sitting in the office, felt like he was exposed to the sun and felt dizzy.
But in the UK, expecting the sun to make people faint is also a luxury.
He spent the entire summer here, and this summer, as usual, the highest temperature in London was only around 20 degrees Celsius, which was not even comparable to spring in China.
Therefore, Li Ruiyuan hopes that after this period, he should take a good vacation. It is best to find a sunny beach and catch up on the sun.
The important thing is that he feels that he should talk to a psychiatrist at that time, but considering that his work is not easy to publicize, he knows that this is also a luxury hope.
So he feels a lot of pressure now.
Because no matter how hard he works now, it is difficult to get rid of the concept that "money is not money" in his heart.
The problem is, he also clearly knows that his own strength is far from being able to control such a concept.
Thinking about the next development, he had to remind himself over and over again, "This is not my achievement, this is the boss's achievement, this is not my achievement, this is the boss's achievement..."
But he estimated that when he looks at the day's earnings after the market closes today, he will definitely come up with the idea that money is not money.
Who could predict so accurately that after several years of growth, after finally climbing to a high price of around US$150 in July, the international crude oil price would turn down without hesitation?
Moreover, the downward momentum is particularly fierce, and no matter what plan OPEC proposes to reduce production, it cannot stop it.
Judging from the current trend, the high oil prices that have caused everyone a headache may simply fall to the low prices of a few years ago in less than two or three months.
Therefore, the gains from short selling in the past few days in August are still dizzyingly high.
Following a successful summer, a bumper harvest came in autumn. Such a beautiful thing made Li Ruiyuan feel like he was dreaming even with his eyes open.
And Feng Yiping, who arranged for him to do this, is now a god-like existence in his mind.
Whether it was the previous long position or the current short position, the reason why everything went so smoothly was because of Feng Yiping's accurate predictions and his extremely strong confidence in his predictions.
In the futures market, if you spot the trend and dare to invest heavily, then money will come easily.
The problem is, these two points are easy to say, but the difficulty of realizing them is really more difficult than asking a gorilla in a virgin forest to build a spacecraft that can sail directly to Mars.
Right now, many people are still saying that crude oil prices are just a short-term correction, and will continue to rise soon, and will eventually exceed 200 US dollars. This is in line with some domestic experts at this time, who say that A The judgment on stocks is the same.
Li Ruiyuan welcomes such remarks, because the more people believe in such a trend, the easier it will be for him to make money.
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He put down the hot coffee in his hand and said, "Come in,"
"BOSS," a middle-aged man wearing a slim-fitting top and slim-leg pants suit, who looked like an authentic Londoner, walked in and told Li Ruiyuan with joy, "Good news, I just found out, That 'cucumber', they intend to change hands,"
"Really?" Li Ruiyuan stood up suddenly, walked to the window and looked at the landmark building of the Financial City not far away from the window, the stand-out little cucumber, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This is really good news!"
…………
"Is it really possible that it will be sold?" Feng Yiping, who was having dinner, couldn't help but grow louder when he heard this.
"Yes, I heard that they are discussing such a plan," Li Ruiyuan said.
"What's the reason?"
“When we acquired it from Swiss Re in 2006, two buyers took out a total loan of 400 million pounds. One of the buyers, IVG, a well-known German real estate group, chose to price its part of the loan in Swiss francs without making an exchange rate. Hedging, but they did not expect that since last year, the exchange rate of the Swiss franc against the British pound has risen sharply and has exceeded the loan-to-value ratio limit," Li Ruiyuan explained.
"At this time, the real estate group is unwilling and difficult to return the corresponding funds to the bank," Feng Yiping patted the table gently, "Okay!"
"What about the price?"
"They spent 600 million pounds on the acquisition in 2006. In the current environment, I estimate that as long as we are more generous, it will not be difficult to acquire it." Li Ruiyuan is obviously very concerned about this matter.
"Then you should start doing it right away," Feng Yiping said. "You can have detailed contact with them starting from the beginning of next month."
The current owners of this cucumber are a British investment bank and a German real estate company. I believe that by next month, they will be all in one, so that is a good time.
Feng Yiping knows very well that in the current downturn in the real estate market, investing in properties in the City of London, or such landmark properties, is definitely a profitable business.
"Okay boss," Li Ruiyuan agreed happily.
Putting down the phone, Feng Yiping thought, since there was such a thing, then, since there were some people he didn't want to see and someone who didn't want to attend the banquet, it was best to go.
He picked up the phone and said to Wu Qian, "Inform Mrs. Murdoch that I will attend the dinner she prepared,"
