    Xiao Qi didn't expect Cowell to ask so straightforwardly.

    He smiled slightly and replied: "Because I think you can make more money than them. Other places in Greater China are much more advanced than mainland China in terms of copyright protection, advertising awareness, and lifestyle. So the four mainland countries  Big portals may not be able to make money in three years, but with your YAHOO network, they will definitely make money in two years, and it will definitely make $1 billion in five years.¡±

    "One billion U.S. dollars?" Cowell smiled bitterly, "You really think highly of us! Excluding all expenses, we will be lucky if we can even out the expenses! We are only considering the new development of the entire YAHOO website."

    The young man would not be fooled by his pretending to be pitiful. He shrugged and said, "Then let's do it. Mr. Cowell, go back and talk to Mr. Yang. Just say that this is what I want. What you want is what you want."  Yes, then do as I say, otherwise this business will not be negotiated. "

    Seeing Xiao Qi¡¯s ¡°I¡¯m not short of money¡± look, Cowell would have wanted to slap him if he wasn¡¯t on his territory now.

    But he still didn¡¯t dare.

    Not to mention that fights rarely happen in the business world, but with Xiao Qi¡¯s current status, if Cowell really dared to hit him, it would be an international event, and the consequences would definitely not be Cowell¡¯s.  It's imaginable.

    ?????? Cowell unknowingly took Evan?  Williams, the owner of the Weibo patent, scolded him like crazy: Damn it, you sold the rights and interests of Weibo¡¯s Greater China region (all Chinese-related) for a mere $2 million a year, and now  We have to spend a lot of money to buy it back. You really deserve it and you can't make a lot of money!

    As everyone knows, Evan doesn¡¯t regret it very much now. He will regret it so much that he wants to hit the wall when the total number of people using Weibo in Greater China exceeds 500 million.

    "So, Mr. Xiao, are there no conditions that can make you change your mind?" Cowell held back his anger and said word by word, "Can YAHOO exchange it for anything else?"

    "Yes, I have!"

    Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi nodded directly and said: "I am interested in many things in YAHOO's hands. For example, the shares of Alibaba Group you hold. How about I offer 10 billion US dollars? I will pay all in cash.  ! If you agree, Weibo¡¯s Greater China business will be worth 50 million a year.¡±

    Cowell was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel a little dry.

    In August 2005, two years ago, Yahoo bought 40 shares of the then-developing Alibaba Group for US$1 billion with Yahoo China.

    Soon at the end of the year, B2B Alibaba Company, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, will be listed on the Hang Seng Stock IPO in Hong Kong, with a financing scale of approximately HK$12 billion.

    Of course, Alibaba Group's assets are far more than Alibaba's 12 billion Hong Kong dollars. It also has Taobao and Zifubao, two weapons with unlimited development - one is EBAY and the other is PAYPAL. Both of them have proved that  They may achieve great success, and Ma Yun, China's internet business genius, will ensure their success.

    After seeing how Taobao.com had beaten EBAY to pieces in the past two years, almost all Yahoo executives had strong hopes for Alibaba Group. However, no matter how optimistic they were, they would never have imagined that their 10-year-old performance two years ago would  With an investment of 100 million U.S. dollars and a restricted website ownership, the price can now increase to seven or eight times in one go!

    "Haha, Mr. Xiao, you are kidding." Cowell picked up the coffee again and drank it slowly.

    Xiao Qi did not hesitate and said with a smile: "I don't like to tell jokes when discussing business. Mr. Cowell, you can go back and send a message to YAHOO's management and board of directors. I, Xiao Qi, am willing to pay 10 billion U.S. dollars."  For cash, you can purchase the 40 shares of Alibaba Group you own and sign the contract at any time.¡±

    Hearing another solemn offer from Xiao Qi, Cowell was dumbfounded and swallowed his saliva again.

    Xiao Qi saw his hands trembling, obviously frightened by Xiao Qi's offer.

    The current market value of YAHOO is about 30 billion U.S. dollars, and it has been losing ground in the face of GOOGLE's increasing pressure. Former CEO Semel was fired because of this - of course, he rejected the acquisition offer offered by Microsoft at the beginning of the year.  Yes, it is also the focus of criticism from many shareholders.

    If they can really sell 40% of Alibaba shares for 10 billion US dollars, there is no doubt that for Yang Zhiyuan, who returned to the position of CEO just a few months ago, it will definitely be a very beautiful comeback debut, which will at least give the public  A good explanation from shareholders.

    There is no doubt that Alibaba Group is definitely a gold mine, especially in China, a prosperous market with a population of 1.5 billion. The development potential of its online commerce is enough to make anyone?Thrilling.

    But no one can tell whether this gold mine is a rich mine or a poor mine. Over the years, there have been too many Internet companies that have grown great and died cowardly. No one can predict the future.

    As far as Cowell is concerned, his first reaction is to cash out!

    Resolutely cash out!

    You have made almost 10 times your income in two years. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?

    Even if Xiao Qi can earn 10 times more in the future, it won¡¯t be surprising. You know, the risk he takes will still be 10 times that of YAHOO!

    What if Alibaba goes bankrupt in two or three years?

    Too many companies are more powerful than them, and the composition of this kind of online commerce is very simple, making it very easy to imitate. If the founder has a huge advantage, how do you explain the fact that GOOGLE beat YAHOO to the ground?

    pity.

    Cowell is not Yang Zhiyuan. He cannot decide the important decisions of YAHOO's board of directors. The management still listens to Yang Zhiyuan.

    but!

    Can¡¯t miss this opportunity!

    Cowell has made a decision in his mind. He should communicate with Mr. Yang after he returns. After CEO Semel rejected Microsoft's capital injection request at the beginning of the year, the sale of 10 billion US dollars of overseas assets will have a great impact on YAHOO.  This is a no-brainer.

    The decision-makers of YAHOO, who have been criticized and criticized, need such an opportunity to prove their abilities and benefit shareholders and themselves!

    Unconsciously, Cowell no longer cared about Weibo¡¯s Greater China business.

    The cash acquisition of 10 billion U.S. dollars and the ultra-high profit of nearly 10 times have already made him feel excited!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
