Chapter 1,147 Yahoo is a hot potato

Yang Zhiyuan stared at Lin Feng without blinking. He wanted to know what Lin Feng wanted to do during his trip. You must know that the relationship between the two parties was not a partnership, but a competitive relationship.

Although Lin Feng was stared at by Yang Zhiyuan like this, he did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he comfortably took a bottle of red wine from the bar next to him and poured a glass for himself and Yang Zhiyuan.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, 'Yahoo' is indeed 'Yahoo'. Even the red wine in the leisure room is from Raphael in 1993. It's a good wine!" Lin Feng said after taking a slight sip.

Yang Zhiyuan couldn't laugh or cry for a while after hearing this. You know, this is not an ordinary leisure room. It is a high-end leisure room that only senior executives of 'Yahoo' can come to. It is a place where you can relax and discuss business matters. Not only is the sound insulation good, but also to enhance the atmosphere.

People can relax and talk in a relaxed state, so it is equipped with a variety of drinks. Since it is a space where high-level people come to relax, the drinks will naturally not be bad.

Yang Zhiyuan had a drink with Lin Feng rather helplessly. Lin Feng refused to tell him, and he would not take the initiative to ask Lin Feng the purpose of his trip. Otherwise, he would most likely fall into passivity. Besides, Yang Zhiyuan's current situation is not very good.

good.

Lin Feng drank another glass of red wine and chatted with Yang Zhiyuan. Seeing that he was still calm and did not ask himself the reason for this unexpected visit, Lin Feng secretly raised a big eyebrow at him.

thumb.

"Director Yang, what do you think of the current dispute between my 'Baidu Portal' and 'Google'?" Lin Feng asked.

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, his heart was shocked, knowing that the real drama was coming.

"In my opinion, although the current 'Baidu Portal' has launched 'Baidu Earth', it is still not enough to compete with 'Google' in terms of market share. The gap between the two sides is too big! If you want to change this trend, it is definitely not possible

It can be changed overnight. What's more, 'Google' will not allow 'Baidu Portal' to develop freely!" Yang Zhiyuan said.

Lin Feng nodded. As Jerry Yang said, the gap between "Baidu Portal" and "Google" is too big, and this cannot be changed overnight.

"That's why I'm here today!" Lin Fengyu suddenly said something that was not surprising, and Yang Zhiyuan almost jumped up in shock.

"Mr. Lin, what do you say?" Yang Zhiyuan said with a trembling voice.

Yang Zhiyuan had to be surprised. Thinking about it, Lin Feng also knew the difference between "Baidu Portal" and "Google". Now Lin Feng told him that this was the reason why he visited "Yahoo" in person, how could Yang Zhiyuan not be shocked.

Why does Lin Feng want to come to "Yahoo"? Several thoughts came to Yang Zhiyuan's mind. Each thought was so thrilling. It can even be said that it will change the Internet landscape. Thinking of this, Yang Zhiyuan's breathing became rapid.

, the palms of my hands were sweating slightly, and my eyes were getting hotter.

You know, Jerry Yang's life has not been so easy recently. First of all, since the rise of "Google", the company ("Yahoo") that once created the miracle of the Internet has begun to decline, and its market share has been lost to "Google" one after another.

After that, Yang Zhiyuan was unwilling to be dominated by "Google", so he categorically terminated his cooperation with "Google" and no longer used the "Google" search engine.

Want to develop "Yahoo Engine" alone.

However, this aspect did not go smoothly. The search engine developed by "Yahoo" itself was not satisfactory in terms of speed and retrieval content. This caused "Yahoo"'s market share to be further eroded by "Google" and other companies. From the original and

The market share that was close to that of "Google" eventually shrank to about 20%. At this time, "Microsoft's" "msn" search engine and Lin Feng's "Baidu Portal" gradually caught up, although they were still far behind "Yahoo".

The distance is small, but both companies have something that "Yahoo" does not have.

Needless to say, "MSN" of "Microsoft" relies on the mountain of "Microsoft" to have absolutely abundant funds, which makes "Yahoo" lament it. As for Lin Feng's "Baidu Portal", although there is no "

"Microsoft" is so strong, but it is definitely not bad. With Lin Feng, the world's richest man, behind it, funding is definitely not a problem. What's more, behind "Baidu Portal" there is almost absolute market support from the entire mainland China market. It can be said that even if "Baidu Portal"

"Portal" has no place in the global market, so relying on the support of mainland China's market share is enough to survive very smoothly.

You know, mainland China has one-fifth of the world's population. So many people use the "Baidu Portal" search engine. Thinking about the profits, Jerry Yang becomes jealous. Although he is also Chinese, he is not authentically Chinese after all.

Of course, "Yahoo" cannot be fully accepted by the Chinese people. On the contrary, "Baidu Portal" is a search engine that completely belongs to the Chinese people. Compared with the two, "Baidu Portal" is naturally more popular.

Thinking of this, Jerry Yang sighed with waning interest. Nowadays, "Yahoo" in the market really feels like a grandma who doesn't care about it and an uncle who doesn't love it.

Lin Feng looked at Yang Zhiyuan's somewhat helpless expression and smiled secretly in his heart. Indeed, the current "Yahoo" is such a "failure". It is not as good as "Google" in terms of technology, not as good as "Microsoft" in terms of funding, and not as popular as "Microsoft".

It is not as good as "Baidu Portal", it is an absolute "three no's" company, but it relies on enclosure and occupies more than 20% of the search engine market share. Isn't it obvious that it is a "fat sheep" waiting to be slaughtered?

!

"Dr. Yang, please forgive me for asking boldly, has the representative of 'Microsoft' ever been to 'Yahoo'?" Lin Feng asked.

Yang Zhiyuan was stunned, nodded, and did not deny this fact. This news cannot be concealed. After all, when the people from "Microsoft" came, the employees of "Yahoo" saw it. Although Yang Zhiyuan issued a hush order,

There is no guarantee that no one will tell the truth. After all, now they only need to publish it online. If you want to know who revealed it, there is absolutely no way.

The emergence of the Internet has brought the world closer and created fewer secrets.

"Director Yang, I wonder why the people from Microsoft are here for this trip? I heard that it seems to be to acquire Yahoo?" Lin Feng smiled slightly. Although his tone was relaxed, every word was so commanding.

People feel shocked.

Yang Zhiyuan's expression changed. If Lin Feng knew about the coming of people from "Microsoft", it would not be surprising, but it would be a bit incredible if Lin Feng even knew that "Microsoft" wanted to acquire "Yahoo".

It's a pity that Jerry Yang didn't know that Lin Feng was reborn into this world from the "future". In "later generations", "Microsoft" wanted to acquire "Yahoo", but was forced by Jerry Yang to adopt the "Poison Pill Plan"

"Microsoft" gave up. Therefore, although Lin Feng did not get any definite news about "Microsoft" intending to acquire "Yahoo", under the current situation, why did the representative of "Microsoft" come to "Yahoo"?

Just guess.

What's more, Yang Zhiyuan's expression now fully explains everything, and Lin Feng's guess is correct.

"Director Yang, I think you are extremely opposed to this plan!" Lin Feng stared at Yang Zhiyuan and said slowly word by word.

Yang Zhiyuan looked at Lin Feng and sighed after a long time.

"Yes, indeed, I rejected Microsoft's acquisition proposal. If Microsoft wants to forcefully purchase Yahoo, I will be prepared to respond to Microsoft's acquisition with a poison pill plan!" Jerry Yang has a cold nose.

He said with a hum.

In this acquisition, the people from "Microsoft" were a little too high-profile, as if money could buy everything. Their attitude was a bit too much, as if "Yahoo" would go bankrupt without the cooperation of "Microsoft".

Therefore, Jerry Yang teamed up with several shareholders to categorically reject the Microsoft acquisition proposal.

But the trouble is that the current situation of "Yahoo" is indeed not optimistic, which also makes many shareholders dissatisfied with Yang Zhiyuan's decision, thinking that he is too stubborn and focuses too much on personal interests while ignoring the interests of the company. Therefore, in

After rejecting the acquisition proposal of "Microsoft", the board of directors also voted to ask Jerry Yang to come up with a rectification plan as soon as possible, otherwise he would ask Yang Zhiyuan to abdicate and give up the position of president of the company to a talented person, and agreed to the acquisition of "Microsoft"

Acquisition plan.

You think, "Yahoo" was founded by Yang Zhiyuan, but now he is forced by the company's shareholders to sign a military order, otherwise he will be dismissed. How can this not make Yang Zhiyuan feel angry? However, if he is angry, he still has to find a way

of.

Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan is still looking forward to Lin Feng's arrival today. Maybe Lin Feng will change his current situation.

"Mr. Lin, I would like to ask you not to waste any more time if you don't tell secrets in the eyes of the wise. Please tell me directly what you mean by your trip today. There is no third party here and no one will know." Yang

Zhiyuan stared at Lin Feng and said.

Lin Feng smiled. He didn't expect Jerry Yang to become so impatient in an instant, but this is also a good thing. It proves that, as Abby Cohen has received, Jerry Yang's current situation on the company's board of directors is not very good.

"Director Yang, it's very simple. I have only one purpose of this trip - annexation!" Lin Feng said.

Bang! With a sound, the thing in Yang Zhiyuan's hand fell to the ground.

You must know that he just rejected the acquisition plan of "Microsoft". Unexpectedly, he drove out the wolf through the front door and entered the tiger through the back door. "Microsoft" has not yet completely solved the problem, and here comes another Lin Feng.

When did "Yahoo" become so popular and become popular in the eyes of everyone? - Yang Zhiyuan thought a little bitterly. Isn't it? The former king has now become a fish in the eyes of others. This is really a bit embarrassing.
