Chapter 1192 Bill Gates' concerns

Chapter 1192 Bill Gates’s Worries

"I want to kick out Zhiyuan Yang and Robin Li!" Lin Feng looked angry.

Timothy was secretly happy when she heard this. Timothy had no doubt about Lin Feng's words. Lin Feng, as the chairman of the company, voluntarily resigned for the sake of Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong to protect the two. As a result, the two turned against each other and would think about revenge if anyone encountered this. The shares in his hands were naturally the best tool of revenge. Once Lin Feng could successfully control the majority of shares, he could launch a large-scale counterattack, drive Yang Zhiyuan away, and re-control the company.

"Mr. Lin, we all understand, so if we understand, we won't be polite. You should know that 'Microsoft' is also seeking to acquire the company, and most shareholders and 'Microsoft' have reached an agreement. Now you also want to acquire the shares in my hands. Everyone is a shareholder, so I will naturally stand firmly on your side. But you also know that I am a small shareholder, and it is difficult to change so many wishes. Of course, if I am willing to help Mr. Lin re-take the company for the future of the company, but my personal ability is limited after all, then..." Timothy went around, meaning to start a price.

Lin Feng snorted coldly in his heart.

"Mr. Timothy, the price offered by Microsoft is US$27 billion to acquire 'Baidu-Yahoo', and your 3.5% 'Yahoo' shares in Zhongyuan is converted into 'Baidu-Yahoo' shares, which is 1.715%. According to the 'Microsoft' price, that is US$463 million. What I said is correct!" Lin Feng said after a calculation.

Timothy's face twitched when he heard this. He hated! The price of "Microsoft" acquiring "Yahoo" was finally as high as US$49 billion, and the 3.5% "Yahoo" in his hand was worth US$1.715 billion. Now it has become "Baidu-Yahoo". As a result, not only did the acquisition price of "Microsoft" become lower, but the shares in his hand also shrank, and the value shrank from US$1.715 billion to US$463 million, with a difference of US$1.252 billion!

1.252 billion US dollars! This is 1.252 billion US dollars! - Thinking of this, Timothy felt so distressed! And the source of all this was Lin Feng. Thinking of this, Timothy cursed Lin Feng secretly. Of course, he could only mutter in his heart and dare not speak out. After all, Lin Feng is one of the acquirers now and is also the capital for him to raise the price. He dare not offend Lin Feng now.

"Mr. Timothy, as long as you can convince others to sell me the 'Baidu-Yahoo' shares, then I will give you an extra $10 million in reward!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"What! $10 million!" Timothy's eyes burst when he heard this.

Of course, this is definitely not a sign of excitement from Timothy, but a sign of surprise. Although $10 million is a lot, you should know that the reward offered by Microsoft at the time was $8 million, but now Lin Feng is only more than $2 million than Microsoft! This is a little too little, far lower than Timothy's expectation. In Timothy's view, Lin Feng's price for firing is at least 70 million or 80 million more than "Microsoft", and the result is only a mere $2 million more.

"Mr. Lin, you are so insincere!" Timothy's face changed instantly. He could never accept Lin Feng's rewards that were like sending beggars.

"What, does Timo thinks it's too little?" Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"Mr. Lin, you are Chinese, you should know that there is an old Chinese saying that is called 'Strange goods can be lived in'. You are so insincere like this!" Timothy unexpectedly said the idiom "Strange goods can be lived in', which really surprised Lin Feng a little. But thinking about how Yang Zhiyuan is a Chinese, there are many Chinese people in the "Yahoo" company. It is not surprising that Timothy, an American, would know one or two Chinese idioms.

"Timothy, I didn't expect you to use Chinese idioms, and you also know the idiom "Qiucai" is the origin of "Qiucai"?" Lin Feng looked at Timothy with a puzzled look and explained the idiom "Qiucai" with a smile.

"Timothy, the reason why Lu Buwei was able to become the prime minister of Qin with a move of "strange goods" was because there was only one "Extraordinary Man" at that time, and now, you, Timothy, who owns the "Extraordinary Man" shares in "Baidu-Yahoo" is not the only one!" Lin Feng said coldly.

Timothy wants to play "Single Goods" and he will not become his tool for profit.

"Mr. Lin, 'Microsoft' has also contacted other shareholders, and these shareholders are all biased towards 'Microsoft'. Without me lobbying for you, they will never compromise." Timothy's face turned cold. If it was just for $2 million, why would he offend "Microsoft"? In his eyes, it would be at least $20 million higher than "Microsoft". Because he is the soul of the "reversal faction". These people decided to sell the company to "Microsoft" after his bewitching and lobbying.

Lin Feng was not surprised when he heard this, but just smiled faintly.

"Timothy, you have to understand that maybe you don't look down on the $10 million, but others will care. And their appetite should not be as big as Mr. Timothy. Mr. Timothy, please think about it carefully. This is my phone number. If you contact me, please call me." Lin Feng asked Lin Chiling to put down his business card and left Timothy's house without looking back.

What's going on? - Timothy was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to leave and wouldn't give him the opportunity to bargain. Could it be that Lin Feng is really confident, or is Lin Feng bluffing?

Timothy couldn't see through Lin Feng's move, but he had a trick, which was to contact "Microsoft". At the time, "Microsoft" did not allow him to contact many shareholders because he was afraid that Lin Feng would instigate them, but now Lin Feng wants to acquire their shares, which is different.

"Boss, are you sure that Timothy will sell the shares to us?" Lin Chiling asked a little puzzled.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Then why are you..." Lin Chiling looked surprised. Since Lin Feng was not sure, why did he leave Timothy's house so easily?

"Timothy, the old fox, won't just submit so easily. He will definitely contact 'Microsoft'. Instead of wasting time on him, it's better to contact others. Zhiling, you have to understand that in the face of absolute interests, any so-called alliance is a cloud and will disperse with the wind." Lin Feng sighed.

If you want to ask what your greatest feeling is after rebirth, it is your understanding of interpersonal relationships. Before rebirth, Lin Feng believed that the most solid relationship in the world was friendship, love, and family. However, after rebirth, after contacting many people in the upper class, he realized that only the combination of interests is the strongest relationship.

"Let's go! Zhiling, go and meet those small shareholders and see if their offer is as big as Timothy!" Lin Feng got in the car with a smile, asking Li Rui to visit many shareholders on the list provided by Yang Zhiyuan.

Just when Lin Feng visited these small shareholders, Timothy had already revealed Lin Feng's purpose of coming to "Microsoft".

"Mr. Ballmer, Lin Feng now wants to acquire the shares of 'Baidu-Yahoo' in our hands, and the offer is very high. I think if 'Microsoft' does not raise the quotation, those small shareholders will not sell their shares." Timothy said cunningly.

Steve Ballmer is also an old man. Knowing that Timothy wants to raise the price, he will naturally not agree easily.

"Mr. Timothy, we 'Microsoft' are quite optimistic about your company and are very sincere. I hope you can mediate more in it. After the matter is completed, we will not treat you badly!" Steve Ballmer calmly appeased Timothy.

After hanging up Timothy's phone call, Steve Ballmer held a small board of directors. Several giants from "Microsoft" arrived one after another.

"Everyone, Lin Feng also wants to acquire the shares in Timothy and others. Do we raise the offer?" Steve Ballmer asked everyone.

Several shareholders frowned when they heard this. Everyone was not stupid, so they naturally understood that Timothy wanted to raise the price, and they criticized Timothy for being a philosophical person.

"Everyone, it's not the time to accuse Timothy, but the time to decide whether we raise our offer. You should know that once we have 'Baidu-Yahoo', we 'Microsoft' will be able to face the search engine market with a positive regret 'google'." Steve Ballmer ended everyone's complaints and unnecessary rebukes.

"Steve, of course, we have to raise the quotation. After all, the quotation we wanted to acquire "Yahoo" was $47.5 billion, and finally it increased to $49 billion. Now, the quotation of "Baidu-Yahoo" is only $27 billion, which is absolutely inconsistent with the value of "Baidu-Yahoo". It can be said that if we can really acquire "Baidu-Yahoo" for $27 billion, we will definitely make a big profit. But now since Lin Feng wants to compete with us, we should compete with him. Although Lin Feng is the richest man in the world, his wealth is just personal wealth. If he wants to compete with us, it is too young to compete with us "Microsoft"!" - "Microsoft" cfo (Chief Financial Officer) Chris Riddle calmly analyzed.

Everyone nodded. Indeed, it is definitely a huge profit to acquire "Baidu-Yahoo" for US$27 billion. Since we cannot take advantage of this now, we can compete with real guns and ammunition, and the price will be higher in the end. Everyone really doesn't believe that Lin Feng still has so much money in his hands to fight with "Microsoft".

After some discussion, everyone finally finalized the highest offer of $57 billion. The bid for acquiring "Baidu-Yahoo" was as high as $57 billion. No matter how high it was, "Microsoft" gave up. Steve Ballmer never believed that Lin Feng could put out so much money to compete with "Microsoft", even if Lin Feng only needed to acquire 23.1% of the shares in Timothy and others.

But after everyone left, Bill Gates stayed.

"Steve, I want to ask you, what if Lin Feng still controls the absolute equity of 'Baidu-Yahoo' now?" Bill Gates said worriedly.
