Chapter 609: Bright Sword

After Steve Ballmer repeatedly confirmed that Lin Feng was not joking, he left with a sullen face. The price was US$50 per share. This was outrageous. Although Microsoft was bound to win "aquantive", it was not taken advantage of by someone like this.

It's a shame. But although Steve Ballmer was unhappy with Lin Feng's big talk, he didn't say it to death.

Looking at Steve Ballmer leaving with a gloomy face, Lin Feng smiled slightly, turned around and dialed the number of his chief consultant Abby Cohen.

"What, Lin, Microsoft has really started to acquire 'aquantive'." During the phone call, Abby Cohen said half surprised and half proud. After all, it was her idea to let Lin Feng acquire "aquantive", and now Microsoft is willing to

The purchase price of US$39 per share proved her original vision.

"But I refused, and I proposed a price of 50 US dollars per share." Lin Feng said with a slightly proud tone. Although the lion's opening of 50 US dollars per share made Steve Ballmer walk away, Lin Feng

I am not worried that Microsoft will retreat. On the contrary, it will definitely come to negotiate with itself again. The rise of "Google" requires Microsoft to have "weapons" that can fight against "Google".

What's more, even if US$50 per share really scares away Microsoft, Lin Feng doesn't care, just hold it in his hands and make money slowly. There will be at least several million US dollars in dividends a year, and as the Internet penetrates into every corner of the world

, Lin Feng believes that future profits will be even higher.

"Lin, are you really going to sell 'aquantive'?" Abby Cohen asked. At first, Abby Cohen asked Lin Feng to acquire it because of its future potential. But now that Lin Feng owns Baidu, there is no need to sell it at all.

After Baidu goes public, it will be enough to integrate it into a parent company. This will complement each other, and Baidu will also have the opportunity to enter the US market. Of course, what it will face at that time will be the full suppression of the powerful "Google".

"As long as the price is right, there's nothing worth keeping in 'aquantive'," Lin Feng said firmly.

Although Lin Feng now owns Baidu, after owning Baidu, Lin Feng used his controlling rights to transfer the "dynamic advertising reporting and target positioning" technology of "aquantive" to Baidu. It can be said that "aquantive" now has a strong influence on Lin Feng.

As far as the wind is concerned, apart from the customer information and market, the rest is dispensable. It would be good if I could sell it for some cash.

As for Baidu's entry into the US market, in Lin Feng's opinion, it is too early. Baidu is now focusing on the mainland China market, and then slowly radiates from the mainland to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places, and gradually spreads to Asia. The US is the last market!

After listening, Abby Cohen thought for a moment and said, "Since you want to sell, then raise the price to $60."

"Sixty dollars!" Lin Feng was shocked. He didn't expect that Abby Cohen was even more "black" than himself and actually threatened to ask for sixty dollars.

"That's right. Lin, since Microsoft likes 'aquantive' and wants to acquire it, we naturally want to maximize profits. Microsoft is not short of money. If they really want to fight against 'Google', 'aquantive' is the choice they can make now.

The best Internet advertising company." Abby Cohen has been on Wall Street for more than ten years and is known as the "Wall Street" myth. In terms of investment, especially in estimating the psychological price of acquisitions, although Abby Cohen is not ranked first in the world, she is

It is definitely among the top five in the world.

If Microsoft wants to acquire "aquantive", the price of 60 US dollars is definitely the price it can bear. What's more, as long as there is a little bit of news and a little manipulation, "aquantive"'s stock price will rise, or "Google" will get new financing, Microsoft will

A move is bound to be made.

Later, after Lin Feng and Abby Cohen discussed the details, Abby Cohen rushed over from Shanghai with the investment team after telling Lin Feng not to let go. This acquisition will definitely cause a sensation. Microsoft and

The confrontation between "Google" will be under the eyes of everyone. How to make Lin Feng gain the maximum profit from this incident is the responsibility of Abby Cohen and others.

What's more, Lin Feng's purpose this time is not only to sell "aquantive" and raise funds for "Google", but also to help Avril and Michael Jackson fight against the ban from global record companies.

While waiting for Abby Cohen, Lin Feng lived leisurely in the "Neverland Manor" purchased by Avril. In addition to fishing and feeding animals every day, he flirted with Avril. Unfortunately, currently, the album has been banned

The impact of the ban made Avril very angry. Although she did not vent her anger on Lin Feng, Lin Feng broke through the last line of defense. He threatened that unless Lin Feng defeated these hateful record companies, he would not get her.

Avril's statement made Lin Feng extremely depressed. Holding a petite and lovely beauty every day, whom he could kiss and touch, but couldn't get on, was undoubtedly a very torturous thing.

Damn Sony Records, damn Warner Times, you wait, I must make you look good! - Lin Feng vented all his desires on these record companies - now Lin Feng has another record company that must defeat this

Absolute reason for banning.

Fortunately, this kind of "life is worse than death" days did not last long, and Abby Cohen rushed over with the entire investment team after a long journey. When they first arrived at "Neverland", Abby Cohen and the entire investment team were slightly surprised.

They had heard about this "Dream Manor" for a long time. It was known as the most luxurious private estate in the world. When they saw it today, they knew that what they said was true. There was absolutely no exaggeration. It was like a paradise.

After a night's rest at "Neverland", Lin Feng, Abby Cohen and others rushed to the "Google" headquarters the next day. But this time it was not to meet with "Google" President Eric Schmidt, but to make an appointment.

The two founders of "Google" - Larry Page and Sergey Brin. As long as they are persuaded, the two people who own most of the shares of "Google" can also agree to Lin Feng's financing.

"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you." Larry Page and Lin Feng had met once before, and Lin Feng was always in the news. Even though it was almost a year ago, he could still recognize Lin Feng.

"Mr. Page, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are more energetic now." Lin Feng said politely.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Abby Cohen went straight to the topic and told Larry Page and Sergey Brin that Lin Feng wanted to raise $500 million in "Google" in exchange for 5% of the shares.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin frowned. Both of them knew about the previous meeting between Lin Feng and Eric Schmidt. Although "Google" now needs financing, Lin Feng's US$500 million financing plan

He is also extremely interested, but as Eric Schmidt, the current president of Google, said, Lin Feng owns Baidu, which occupies an absolute dominance in the search engine market in China, and the two companies are potential enemies. Lin Feng

They had no choice but to reluctantly refuse the $500 million offered by Feng.

Today, they received a call from Lin Feng inviting him. After much hesitation, Larry Page and Sergey Brin decided to meet. After all, Lin Feng has a different status now, so they had to give Lin Feng this face. Otherwise, it would spread.

Firstly, it seems that "Google" is too arrogant; secondly, it is afraid that if Lin Feng is angered, Lin Feng will attack him, which will be an extremely troublesome thing.

Because Lin Feng owns "aquantive", this is a company that gives "Google" a headache. If Lin Feng is pushed into a hurry and uses "aquantive" to attack them at a loss, although "Google" is not afraid, it will be a lose-lose situation.

situation. Therefore, after Larry Page and Sergey Brin discussed it, they decided to meet with Lin Feng first to see what Lin Feng said.

"Mr. Lin, I think Eric Schmidt, the president of our company, should have answered this question for you. He is now in charge of Google's administration, and the two of us are only responsible for technology." Larry Page declined.

Lin Feng smiled.

"But the situation will change. I believe that when Mr. Page and Mr. Brin know the news, they will definitely reconsider my financing plan." Lin Feng asked Abby Cohen to show the two of them Microsoft's acquisition of "aquantive"

copy contract.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were greatly surprised when they saw it. They did not expect that Microsoft was already preparing to deal with "Google" and bought it from Lin Feng at a price of US$39 per share.

"Aquantive". This made Larry Page sigh in his heart. Microsoft is rich and powerful. Today's "Google" is indeed not qualified to compete with "Microsoft". If it wants to maintain the existing market and develop rapidly,

Going public, this second round of financing is imperative.

Several major investment banks have agreed to finance "Google", but the price is not as generous as Lin Feng. They only agreed to finance 17% of "Google" shares at a price of US$1 billion. Originally, Larry Page and others were still opposed to this financing plan.

Very satisfied, but after reading Lin Feng's financing plan, although he had already rejected Lin Feng's financing, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, thinking that these investment banks were taking advantage of the situation.

Now, seeing that Microsoft wants to acquire the "aquantive" company, I feel even more uncomfortable. Now is the time for "Google" to transform again, but unexpectedly it has been hit one after another, which makes Larry Page and Sergey Brin quite unhappy.

A little headache and helpless.

Too much money is overwhelming. If "Google" goes public, it can naturally raise funds through the stock market. Why should we have to suffer the "blackmail" of investment banks, fear the aggressiveness of "Microsoft", and Lin Feng's tricks?
