My rebirth is different

Chapter 879
Ballmer, Sergey, and Larry Page were all taken aback.

Will two new friends come over tomorrow?
Obviously, this so-called new friend is his competitor!

However, I haven't heard of any Internet giant company that wants to participate in the competition for Facebook shares.

To be honest, there are not many companies with the size of Facebook that are eligible to participate.

Could it be Amazon and Yahoo?

However, Amazon is losing money every year. Will the company's board of directors allow Bezos' bald head to step into the Internet social networking industry?

As for Yahoo, it is possible, because Lu Qi has a deep relationship with that side.

Moreover, the major shareholder and founder of Yahoo is also Chinese!
Although Yahoo has started to go downhill in the past two years, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Yahoo still has a lot of money in its hands!

It is hard to guarantee that they will not start to seek self-help and invest in unicorn companies like Facebook International.

If this is the case, then you have to think about it carefully.

Is it to raise prices, seek a peaceful solution, or...

…………

"Okay, let's stop here today, and we'll go back and think about it, and re-evaluate Facebook North America." Ballmer said bluntly.

He wanted to go back and find out about the situation, which two competitors would enter the arena tomorrow.

After knowing the details of the opponent, we can consider the next plan.

Naturally, Google has the same opinion.

A group of people got up to say goodbye.

Lu Qi sent them out on behalf of Facebook.

In the conference room, only Yu Wenfei and others were left.

"Microsoft and Google are going too far! We had good intentions and wanted to invite them to work together to develop social networking on the Internet. It turned out that they were lucky. Not only did they not understand good people, but they wanted to take the opportunity to lower prices!" Shen Nanpeng took the lead said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Hehe, big companies in Europe and the United States are like this. Maybe they think that we are begging them, and without them, the international version of Facebook will be unable to move forward. So, they want to take this opportunity to kill us." Xue Chunlai said with a smile.

"Mr. Fei, you said that two friends are coming tomorrow. I know one of them, and the origin of the other one. I haven't heard from you before." Cai Congxin asked curiously.

Everyone in the meeting room also looked over together, and indeed, everyone knew one of them.

In fact, it wasn't exactly a new friend.

But it is a senior vice president in charge of investment at Citibank headquarters, who will continue to inject capital into Facebook North America on behalf of Citibank.

In the existing shareholding structure, Citibank has a very low shareholding ratio in Facebook North America.

Yu Wenfei had already mentioned this matter at the shareholder meeting, because in North America, Citibank is still very strong.

Appropriately increasing their shareholding ratio will also help the long-term development of Facebook North America.

However, the other one, everyone has never heard Yu Wenfei mention it.

…………

"This new friend, I just talked with the other party. They are not inferior to the Internet industry. The stake in Facebook North America is also a strategic investment of a private nature. But, believe me, with their joining, at least they can To ensure that we will not be attacked at the political level by our competitors."

Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

He has already designed the shareholder structure of Facebook North America.

Every shareholder introduced will play an important role at some stage.

How much money the other party can pay is secondary, what is more important is the energy of the other party!

This energy includes the technical level, the influence level, and the political level!

…………

Ballmer and others, after returning to the hotel, immediately began to mobilize their contacts.

Find out which company is going to join the competition against Facebook North America.

Unfortunately, they entered a misunderstanding.

It is that the new competitors must be giant companies in the Internet or IT industry.

So after inquiring and inquiring, the relationships with several giant companies have reported that there is no such plan in the near future, and they have not contacted Facebook.

At night, when the three met for dinner, they were still at a loss.

"What company is it? Why didn't I find any effective information at all, could it be from Europe?" Ballmer said gloomily.

"So do we. Our friend from Yahoo told us that Yahoo really intended to take a stake in Facebook North America, but Lu Qi politely rejected it. F**k! What kind of company is it?" Sergey scratched. Scratching his head, he swears.

"Forget it, since we can't find out, then tomorrow we will remain unchanged. Anyway, new competitors will also appear on the stage. After we see who it is, we will adapt accordingly." Larry Page persuaded.

This is also a good way, of course, there is no way.

Both Ballmer and Sergey nodded.

"For the price of 120 billion, what do you think?" Ballmer asked again.

"How can I look at it? The price is a bit high. But... If you put aside all off-court factors, it is not unacceptable." Larry Page replied.

They all know well that the price of 120 billion is really not very high.

For a project like Facebook International, price is actually secondary.

More importantly, such a unicorn company is hard to come by!
Once there is an opportunity to buy shares, the premium is inevitable.

In fact, even at a premium, there will still be a large number of investment institutions waving banknotes and wanting to enter the market.

Facebook only took a fancy to the influence of Microsoft and Google in their respective fields and the additional benefits they could bring to the international version of Facebook, so they gave priority to inviting them to negotiate.

If it's just for money, companies such as Sequoia Capital, Softbank International, and Tiger Investment definitely give much more than Microsoft and Google!
Let alone 120 billion US dollars, even if the valuation is 150 billion US dollars, maybe those investment banks will not blink.

…………

On the third day, it was still the headquarters of Facebook North America, and it was still the big conference room.

When Ballmer, Larry Page, and Sergey arrived, there were already many people in the conference room.

In addition to the facebook people who met yesterday, there are a few more white people.

Larry Page and Sergey didn't know these people, but they knew that this should be the so-called new competitor.

But Ballmer knew it, when he saw these people, especially two of them.

His eyes widened at once.

Turning to ask Lu Qi, "He... why are they here?"
