I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 397 Fall!
Lin Xiao received a call from Larry Page in Eternal Technology's Silicon Valley company.

Apart from Google, Lin Xiao has another thing to do in Silicon Valley this time, which is related to Gpod and Gplayer.

So in the past two days, apart from paying attention to the stocks, Lin Xiao spent most of his time in the Silicon Valley subsidiary of Eternal Technology.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Lin Xiao, who was discussing matters with Fadell and others, saw Larry Page's call, and his heart moved immediately, and he quickly answered the phone.

"Lin, good news!"

Lin Xiao had just connected, and Larry Page's slightly excited voice quickly came from the phone.

Although Larry Page didn't say anything yet, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile on his face.

He had realized that Larry Page was supposed to be the one who brought him the good news about the Yahoo deal.

"Yahoo has officially notified us that Google has become Yahoo's new search service partner!"

Sure enough, Larry Page shouted excitedly, and Lin Xiao immediately said with a smile:

"Great! Larry, Google did it!"

"Yes! We succeeded!" The excited cheers of Larry Page and Sergey Brin came from the other end of the phone.

After calming down a bit after the cheers, Larry Page said immediately:

"Lin, Yahoo sent us a signing contract. After reading it, our legal counsel thinks the terms are not too harsh."

"According to your thinking, signing a contract with Yahoo will result in more advertising benefits than economic benefits, so we decided to sign a contract with Yahoo immediately."

Lin Xiao immediately agreed after hearing it and said, "Larry, you are right to think so!"

This is indeed the view that Lin Xiao has been instilling in Larry Page. No matter which search engine it is, if it provides search services for other websites, it cannot make a lot of money.

Both the American company and the Huaxia company have proved this point.

"Okay! Lin, let's go now." Larry Page said, adding another sentence.

"Oh, by the way, we are now connecting with Yahoo. If they agree, we will contact the media to report as soon as possible."

Facts have proved that Yahoo and Google, which operate the Internet, are both very efficient. Larry Page quickly reported that Yahoo agreed to sign the contract immediately.

As for the media promotion mentioned by Google, Yahoo also agreed, and the two parties can announce the news through a simple press release model.

Of course, before that, Yahoo also informed Inktomi of the news.

However, the first reaction of the Inktomi side after getting the news was to cover it up, hoping for some remedial measures, because they have realized that if this news from Yahoo is announced, it will have a huge impact on Inktomi's market confidence.

And because Inktomi's side, only a few core executives knew about it, so for a while, this news did not spread.

At 12:30 noon that day, Google and Yahoo formally signed a cooperation agreement under the witness of many media, and the news was transmitted to the outside world almost simultaneously.

Google replaces Inktomi as Yahoo's new search partner!

Even a simple press conference is still going on, so the short message has already appeared in some Internet media.

This can be said to hit a thousand waves with one stone!

In the eyes of Internet users, this news brings them curiosity.

After seeing this news, many Internet users outside of Silicon Valley began to wonder what kind of company is Google?
Why did this little-known company beat Inktomi to become Yahoo's choice?

In the eyes of investors, everyone's first reaction is, what happened to Inktomi?Is it about to be abandoned?
Although Yahoo is not the only customer of Inktomi, they also have other Internet partners, but Yahoo is the number one Internet company in the world at this time after all, and its influence is still too great!
Blackstone Capital Securities Department of Silicon Valley, USA.

Almost as soon as the outside news spread, Galen rushed into Eric Cohen's office.

"Galen, why are you in such a panic?" Seeing Galen rushing in without even knocking on the door, Eric Cohen frowned slightly.

At this time, Galen couldn't care less about Eric Cohen's blame, and said anxiously:
"Extremely bad news! Mr. Eric, it just came out that the search service of Inktomi and Yahoo was replaced by a company called Google."

"What?" Eric Cohen was startled first, then quickly stood up.

"Quick, sell Inktomi's stock immediately!"

Accompanied by Eric Lahn's exclamation, Galen rushed out again quickly, and then shouted immediately.

"Sell Inktomi stock, all!"

While Galen was yelling, the traders immediately listed Inktomi's stock.

However, trading stopped after less than 5 shares were sold.

It is true that some uninformed retail investors immediately bought stocks after seeing low-priced stocks listed.

However, it is not only Blackstone Capital that is selling Inktomi shares at this time, but other investment institutions and investors who are concerned about the news of Inktomi are also selling.

At this time, experienced investors realized that something was wrong.

And because Inktomi has skyrocketed in the past two days, everyone has already attracted a lot of attention to the news of Inktomi, so when the news from Yahoo came out, almost in a very short period of time, the news quickly attracted everyone's attention. people see.

At this time, if you still choose to buy Inktomi stock, isn't it stupid?

Stock holders of Inktomi kept listing, but no one bought it...

Of course, it also includes the stocks listed by Blackstone Capital!

After all, the stocks held by Blackstone Capital are not more fragrant.

Therefore, investors, represented by Eric Cohen, who were delighted by the skyrocketing Inktomi stock in the past two days, were all dumbfounded!

285, 275, 260, 240...

Eric Cohen looked at the numbers that kept jumping down, and his eyelids couldn't stop jumping.

This is because the position holders are constantly lowering the selling price, but even so, because there are no buyers, there is still zero trading volume.

After a while, Eric Cohen saw that someone had already listed a price of 226 yuan per share.

This price has fallen below the price that Eric Cohen started buying up three days ago in Inktomi!

At this time, there was finally a very small trading volume. It is difficult to tell how this transaction happened. The fact is that when Inktomi's stock was traded at 226 million yuan, the stock price immediately fell below this line. , Moreover, it is still going down.

But even so, the trading volume was very small. Blackstone Capital held nearly 100 million shares at this time. In the face of this kind of trading volume, it was impossible to sell at all.

Seeing such a situation, Eric Cohen's face became extremely ugly, and he realized that Blackstone Capital is very likely to lose a lot of money this time.
