Chapter 2725 You Come and I Go
Masayoshi Son, who went directly to the airport at this time, did not expect that his inspection would lead to the resignation of a person in charge of Yahoo China.
He was extremely disappointed and extremely annoyed at this time.
His acquisition of Yahoo not only completely cut off Feng Yiping's attempt to use Yahoo Japan to intervene in the Japanese Internet market, but also provided the best platform for SoftBank's development in China.
He had originally placed high hopes on the Chinese market, and after meeting with Su Mingtian, he raised his expectations for Yahoo China even more, but this early inspection really poured a bucket of cold water on him.
With the current situation of Yahoo China, let alone posing a threat to Feng Yiping's company in China, let alone shaking the existing pattern of China's Internet, in areas such as search, and challenging the current leaders, even compared with the portal websites among Chinese Internet companies that are slightly weaker at this time, there is no chance of winning.
On the way to the airport, he kept making phone calls. He informed the handover team that at the beginning of the handover, there was one task that must be prioritized, that is, before establishing personal contact with the original management team, to initiate an investigation by the employee evaluation supervisor.
This will serve as an important basis for their subsequent adjustment of the original management team.
Masayoshi Son originally had a lot of knowledge about Yahoo's bureaucracy. Today's inspection made him regret going, which made him more determined to adjust Yahoo's management team.
He did this for another purpose. He hoped that those who were transferred from their original management positions, although they were still receiving the same salary as before, would resign voluntarily - this is also a cold violence method commonly used by capitalists.
This means that they cleverly achieved layoffs without violating relevant commitments.
But what he didn't expect was that at Yahoo, there were indeed many people who were accustomed to the current high salary and leisurely work, hoping to live on their old capital, so they were particularly concerned about their positions and money after being acquired.
But for those who are capable and motivated, such as Dr. Zhang of Yahoo China, how could they care about this?
As long as they are willing, there are better positions waiting for them.
When there are big changes like this, other companies are naturally the most aggressive in poaching people, which is when they have the most opportunities and are most tempted.
Although Yahoo China's situation is declining, there are still hundreds of excellent technical employees from home and abroad. Most of them graduated from well-known universities and have at least postgraduate degrees.
Therefore, not only Feng Yiping's company, not only other well-known companies, but also many start-ups have long been eyeing these people.
Of course, for Feng Yiping and others, they are not only targeting these people from Yahoo China.
When Masayoshi Son was about to leave China, Page and Brin were also preparing to return to the United States.
The farewell banquet was held in the courtyard where Page and his family lived. This time Huang Jingping was present. At this time, she was accompanying their wives Lucy and Anne to discuss the gains from today's shopping.
And the three men were holding beer at this time, sitting crookedly on the sofa under the flower window. Outside the window, the sun was blazing, and inside the house, their discussion was also very heated.
"I say, two points," Brin held up a beer bottle, "first, join forces to target Microsoft and other companies; second, each one relies on his own ability,"
"The first point, of course I agree unconditionally, but the second point, two big brothers, can you give priority to my wishes?" Feng Yiping said.
"My company needs these people more at this time,"
Yes, what they discussed enthusiastically was how to poach people from Yahoo headquarters and how to make SoftBank more uncomfortable.
In Silicon Valley, poaching and guarding against being poached are two normal tasks for well-known companies.
Page and others complained a few days ago that SoftBank had contacted several vice presidents of Google-they didn't know at this time that Masayoshi Son actually approached Schmidt directly.
Feng Yiping also knew that SoftBank had also approached Facebook's Sandberg and YouTube's Randolph and other executives...
But in fact, they were not idle, or they were not much better.
They had also long been eyeing some talents from Yahoo.
Of course, it's not just the two companies that have set their sights on those people at Yahoo. Microsoft, Amazon... these days, LinkedIn, well-known headhunting companies, are simply welcoming a feast.
"No," Page shook his head immediately, "I don't see such a difference, what about you, Brin?"
"I don't know why you came to such a conclusion, Feng," Brin said immediately.
"Are you bullying me by relying on your numbers?" Feng Yiping threw two pillows at him.
The two did not respond to Feng Yiping's question directly, but their smug smiles clearly said leisurely, "It's just that the numbers are bullying you, but what can you do?"
Feng Yiping really had nothing to say about these two shameless people, but he had to say it.
"Don't you all know the reason?"
"How many years has Google been established? How many years has my company been established? How many talents has Google reserved? My company has not even started to reserve talents..."
"Not to mention, objectively speaking, this merger has helped Google a lot, so you still have the nerve to argue with me at this time?"
"After hearing what he said, it seems a bit embarrassed," Page said.
"I don't think so," Brin shook his head. "Do you remember, last time Feng repeatedly emphasized that the reason why he pulled Microsoft to give up the acquisition of Yahoo was not for us,"
Feng Yiping started looking for pillows again. These two guys were really shameless.
Page smiled and said, "When you said that, I remembered everything, so Feng, we are very embarrassed... Oh, no, are you here again?" He blocked the flying pillow.
"You two are so shameless. You really want to tear down the bridge as soon as you cross the river." Feng Yiping stood up. "Who emphasized last time that no matter the reason, just look at the result, you must thank me heavily?"
"Have I ever said such a thing? I don't remember it at all," Brin said, tilting his head and spreading his hands.
"It sounds like it's not my style to be so imprecise," Page denied.
Feng Yiping was speechless. He pointed at the two people who were smiling proudly, "Okay, I finally see your true colors clearly."
He sat down slumped, "At this moment, I suddenly felt that Microsoft was a better partner,"
"Haha, you really performed well," Brin said, gesturing towards Page. As a result, Feng Yiping, who had his head lowered, was hit by four pillows one after another.
"All hits? Hahaha," they laughed unscrupulously.
It is indeed a barbaric country with no care for children at all.
Seeing Feng Yiping preparing to throw it back, Page waved his hands quickly, "Okay, okay, when did we not support you?"
"Look, you asked for Sandberg, didn't we readily agree?"
"Really? Why don't I remember?" Feng Yiping felt a little embarrassed when he told lies like this.
Because next, Mayer, the face of Google, will also join his company.
"How about this? We will give you the opportunity to win over the people you particularly like," Page continued.
Feng Yiping immediately raised a hand, "Then I want 5 such opportunities,"
Page glanced at Brin, "Five times is five times, but if they prefer to come to my company, then..."
"I will definitely respect their wishes," Feng Yiping smiled and raised his beer.
This condition is pretty good.
Moreover, he also has confidence.
Compared with Yahoo, Microsoft is a conservative big brother. Compared with Google, Yahoo is a outdated thing of yesterday. But compared with Facebook, Google is a somewhat bureaucratic industry overlord...
In the United States, many people still adhere to this concept, so Feng Yiping, who has the first-mover advantage, is very confident that he can achieve his wish.
"Thank you two bosses, I respect you!"
"Look, you're smiling so happily after taking advantage of me,"
"I wasn't like this originally. I became like this after I got together with you two. I regret it so much!"
Seeing them looking for pillows, Feng Yiping smiled and said, "Let's drink, drink,"
The beer bottles collided loudly again, and together with the laughter, they reached the ears of the three women who were outside evaluating their respective results.
Huang Jingping looked over and Anne said, "No need to look, they, in many cases, are like children playing house,"
This is true, but this time, the home they live in is Son's "home".
