Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yes.

    It has changed from a buyout to a cooperation.

    Xiao Qi would naturally not tell them that Weibo only held 20% of the shares, and the majority shareholder was still his fairy wife.

    Since the fairy wife has put the blame on him, it is natural that he should handle it.

    After thinking about it, Xiao Qi said loudly: "Mr. Cowell, you are buyers. If you have any plans, you might as well tell me. If the conditions are right, we can talk about it."

    This is the advantage of being strong.

    During the negotiation, there is no doubt that whoever speaks first will be at a certain disadvantage, but Xiao Qi has the capital to ask Cowell to do this. With his feat of casually cashing out 40 billion US dollars in cash,  Also has this qualification.

    Before the signal came here, Cowell had already considered this situation. He didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that Xiao Qi really didn't accept his compliments and directly let himself show his chips.

    "That's right." Cowell said eloquently: "We have heard before that Weibo sold the rights to use mainland China to the four major portals. But it seems that for Baodao, Hong Kong and Macau  And other Chinese-speaking countries in Southeast Asia have not sold copyrights, so we feel that the combination of YAHOO and Weibo will definitely make Weibo a better platform.¡±

    Xiao Qi nodded and motioned for him to continue.

    Cowell nodded and said: "Initially, we have two plans. The first is for Weibo Company to invest in technology and we will jointly build a Weibo platform in Greater China, mainly the traditional Chinese version. This platform  It will include Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and other areas with a large number of Chinese people, and conduct a separate operation. The second is that if Fairy Company finds it troublesome, it can also consider the same method as the mainland, with a three-year operation.  Price sold to us exclusively.¡±

    At this point, Cowell stopped, but Xiao Qi waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.

    This kind of silent opponent is the most difficult to deal with, because he does not express his opinions at all, but just keeps sniffing your trump cards, which can easily cause asymmetry.

    But again, there is nothing Cowell can do. Xiao Qi has an absolute advantage, so it¡¯s not enough not to give in.

    He himself was thinking that the reason why the chairman didn't want to come over and talk in person was probably because he didn't want to be led by Xiao Qi.

    After a moment of silence, he finally said a price: "For the first type of investment, YAHOO is willing to give 20% of the shares of the new company, and guarantees that if the Weibo company wants to sell these shares, YAHOO promises not to  Buy back at a price lower than US$1 billion. For the second term buyout, we are prepared to pay US$50 million a year, and your personnel, equipment, bandwidth, etc. will not be used, but the term cannot be less than 5 years.  "

    "Forget the first one. For the second one, there is no problem with the five-year period, but I hope to get 100 million U.S. dollars in annual usage fees." Xiao Qi replied calmly.

    The financial crisis is coming soon, and YAHOO will also usher in a new cold winter.

    In the next few years, their market value will decline rapidly by more than 80%, reaching the lowest value of only about 12.7 billion U.S. dollars. In this miserable operating environment, how can YAHOO, which is in a state of distress, think about listing this joint venture company?

    What¡¯s more, the strong female CEO who will lead YAHOO out of the quagmire in the future will be best at selling products.

    "Maybe the joint venture company will be sold by her at a low price. What's the use of 20% of the shares of a dismal company?"

    The second method of cooperation is good. You can also take advantage of their difficulties to directly take back the already mature Weibo market.

    "100 million U.S. dollars?" Cowell opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Mr. Xiao, I haven't heard about it, right? The price you gave the four major portals is only 200 million U.S. dollars per company per year!"

    "You also know that there are four companies. Doesn't it add up to more than 100 million US dollars? After all, you still made a profit." Xiao Qi said earnestly.

    Cowell couldn't laugh or cry, "However, in the entire Greater China market outside, the audience population of Traditional Chinese is only about 200 million at most. Compared with China's population of about 1.5 billion, don't you think that our 50 million US dollars has already  Are you very sincere?"

    "Don't just talk about population, Mr. Cowell." Xiao Qi looked at him, "Why don't you talk about income and education level? People in places like Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Singapore, who are in their prime of life between 40 and 60 years old, not only have education  The level is very high, and the ability to accept new things far exceeds that in mainland China. Only young people in our 20-30 years old like Weibo! "

    Cowell was speechless.

    ? ?That is indeed the case.

    For example, Hong Kong?, 50-year-old middle-aged people will also be interested in playing Weibo, but most 50-year-old middle-aged people in China may not even know what the Internet is, so how can they use it?

    And the income levels of the two regions are indeed different. When the number of users is equal, there is no doubt that the so-called Greater China region will definitely win.

    In fact, Yang Zhiyuan and his team also considered this. They set a price of no more than 80 million US dollars, but they didn't expect Xiao Qi to dare to ask for 100 million US dollars. Did he really think that everyone was like him, with more money?  Like it's blown by the wind?

    "Mr. Xiao, your price is really beyond our imagination." Cowell said awkwardly: "According to our calculations, the sale of the right to use Weibo in mainland China will basically take place in one year.  There is a loss. In order to cultivate the market, you are willing to lose money for three years. We don¡¯t use your resources and just give you royalties for free. Why are you being charged a high price?¡±

    European and American people sometimes speak too straightforwardly and simply.

    He is now asking by name, do you treat customers differently?  Do you think I'm a fool?

    "Like Cowell's question, a Chinese person would never say it out loud. At most, he would bargain directly, but regretfully say that we will cooperate next time.

    Because business is not about favors, if it doesn¡¯t work this time, you may not have a chance next time, but if you offend the person you are negotiating with, it is very likely that there will never be a second time.

    Cowell, who has lived in Japan for seven or eight years, is not an idiot, but he understands that facing a powerful figure like Xiao Qi, blindly giving in is of no use. Only by directly putting forward his demands can he make a difference.  Chance of success.

    As for offending Xiao Qi, he is not afraid. Anyway, if it really gets serious, Yang Zhiyuan will come over and apologize in person afterwards.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
