Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiao Qi never thought that Paul Allen was such a cheerful person.

    After thinking about it for more than a day, Paul Allen personally called Xiao Qi and agreed to the price offered by Xiao Qi.

    In addition to the US$3.8 billion in cash and the sale of all shares of AMC to Xiao Qi for US$1, he also transferred a 300-acre ranch near Wellington, New Zealand, to Xiao Qi at a low price of US$2 million.  Xiao Qi; transferred 18% of the shares of Cameron Pace Group to Xiao Qi for US$300 million.

    The pasture is converted into Chinese measurement units, which is 1800 acres, which is very large.

    In his previous life, Xiao Qi saw an introduction about this ranch on the Internet. There was actually a hill, a river, and a small lake. Not to mention its buildings, the scenery alone was very beautiful.

    It¡¯s not surprising to say that Paul Allen is a person who loves to enjoy himself. What¡¯s wrong with the ranch he bought?

    The $2 million is just a friendly price, and this ranch is worth at least $5 million.

    The ranch employs more than 100 people on weekdays, managing all aspects of the ranch, including raising dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, etc., which are all sold, which can be considered a balance in terms of expenses.

    As for Cameron Pace Group's shares, 18% is a bit low, but Xiao Qi does not want to control the entire company, 5¡á³¤5¡á·ç5¡áÎÄ5¡áѧ, w¡â¡ô¡Ýt Cameron and  His good friend Pace, after hard work in research and development and promotion, saw that it was the harvest season, and it was absolutely impossible to transfer the company's shares to others.

    What Xiao Qi wants is just the demonstration of 3D technology in movie theaters so that the movie queen sister's Kiwi Cinema chain will grow even stronger. As the third largest shareholder of Cameron Pace Group, it is very convenient for him to get the latest and best.  3d technology.

    Once 3D technology and IMAX technology are merged, they will be invincible!

    Same as imax company.  Xiao Qi transferred the shares of AMC Cinemas and Cameron Pace Group to the name of Xiao Qiao Investment Fund. These things must be integrated to be powerful. Qiao Guoer has these two key technologies in his hands. In the future,  He has made a lot of money in theaters for decades.

    It¡¯s not that Xiao Qi loves the actress¡¯ sister particularly and gave her more than 2 billion US dollars in assets in one breath, but the opportunity came.  Then don't miss it.

    In the future, if there are some properties suitable for other wives, Xiao Qi will not be stingy in buying them for them.

    In fact, Paul Allen and Xiao Qi are acquaintances. When he bought an island in the Maldives, Ellison asked wealthy Americans to buy it together, including Paul Allen.

    ¡° However, he and Xiao Qi had no business connection, so he found a more suitable middleman, Bloomberg, to handle the project. In this way, even if there were any differences between the two parties, they could successfully bring it together through the middleman.

    It looks like now.  Paul Allen's strategy was clearly successful.

    Of course, Xiao Qi did not suffer a loss. Not only did he successfully sell Yahoo, he also got a lot of things he needed. It can be said that everyone is happy.

    As soon as the delivery procedures here were completed, Paul Allen immediately arrived in Seattle and held a grand press conference.

    At the venue where more than 200 reporters were present, Paul Allen announced with high spirits that he would return to the Microsoft board of directors in the near future.  And he brought an "irresistible gift" to Microsoft, that is, under his active operation.  Microsoft will acquire Yahoo from Xiao Qi at an ultra-low price of US$6 billion.

    The reporters were in an uproar.

    Although Yahoo is already a declining giant, as a model of the American Dream and a symbol of the Internet age, it still carries the memory of many Americans.

    Moreover, Yahoo is not completely finished now, even if it has been divested of many assets by Xiao Qi.  It still has many users, many branches and patented technologies, especially in terms of online search and online advertising. They are much worse than the emerging Google, but they are definitely the second in the world.

    What Microsoft lacks is its efforts in online search and advertising.  As well as the many network-related patents held by Yahoo, Microsoft, which previously provided software services, was in short supply.

    Otherwise, why would Microsoft be willing to acquire Yahoo at a price as high as US$44.6 billion last year?

    Now, Paul Allen bought Yahoo at a very low price of 6 billion US dollars. What a beautiful business!

    With the integration of Yahoo and Microsoft, it is a huge shock to think about how complementary and mutually beneficial they are.

    In the future, Google must be careful. Its position as the number one overlord will definitely be subject to great challenges!

    ¡°Buying a company from Xiao Qi is not cheap.Not easy to buy either.

    Some of the companies Xiao Qi sold before were all sold at eye-popping prices, and he was called an extremely greedy businessman.

    Some time ago, someone wanted to acquire Yahoo, with prices ranging from RMB 5 billion to RMB 6 billion to RMB 7 billion, but Xiao Qi never agreed.

    It is said that his psychological value is 8 billion US dollars.

    Although this price is a bit high, with the overall recovery of the U.S. stock market, Yahoo¡¯s valuation continues to rise. In a few months, it may not be more than 8 billion.

    In this case, Paul Allen was able to win it at a low price of 6 billion US dollars, which not only fully demonstrated his negotiation skills, but also proved that he and Xiao Qi have a good personal relationship.

    ??You want to talk about things like personal relationships, whether you say it works or not, or whether it is worthless or worthless, the key is to see who the two parties involved are.

    For example, if one of the parties is Xiao Qi, then this kind of personal relationship will work very well.

    You see, when Xiao Qi sold Dreampad, Appstore, and Dreamstars shares three times, didn¡¯t he always sell them to friends with whom he had a relationship?

    Establishing a good relationship with Xiao Qi, then next time Fairy Company sells its shares, especially the shares in the app store, wouldn¡¯t Microsoft also be able to fight for it?

    Once you have Appstore, an online application store that has been rated as "influencing the future of smart electronics for 50 years", Microsoft will definitely have a competitiveness that cannot be underestimated in the smart electronics industry.

    Over the years.  With the rise of network electronics, especially mobile smartphones and smart tablets, the personal PC market that Microsoft has been firmly entrenched in has gradually entered a stage of stagnation. Future development will never be like that of the 1990s and the first few years of the 2000s.  It's improved by leaps and bounds.

    I want to find new businesses with growth potential and find the explosion point of future profits.  It is imperative for Microsoft to enter the field of smart electronics.

    And with such a skillful move, Paul Allen not only successfully returned to the decision-making level of Microsoft directors, but also gained great power. In the future development of Microsoft, he will definitely get more benefits.

    If nothing else, Paul Allen will receive a lot of equity incentives every year in the future, no less than hundreds of millions in stock income every year, which will not be less than Ballmer and Bill's children's shoes.

    Even this time it acquired Yahoo.  Paul Allen didn't sell to Microsoft at a loss to brag about his negotiating skills, as Xiao Qi thought.

    Instead, he seemed to have sold it for an extra $200 million, making a small profit.

    It can be seen that Paul Allen still values ????money very much, and with his intelligence and wide contacts, this guy can really make a fortune!

    "Xiao Qi doesn't care whether Paul Allen makes money or not, it's a matter of both parties No.  Including Microsoft and Yahoo, everything is beneficial to all parties.  There is absolutely no need to worry about who gets more.

    For such a grand press conference, Microsoft is well prepared.

    Before the press conference ended, Microsoft¡¯s stock surged by 2.5%. After a whole day of stock market trading, Microsoft had its best single-day performance in the past six months.  The increase was as high as 3.2%.

    Google is furious about this.

    After all, in the US market, Google and Microsoft are absolute competitors, not even Apple can compare with this.

    In the previous life, Apple was born after the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and iMac were all invented and a complete industrial chain was completed.  Only then will they be able to conquer the dust and leave Google and Microsoft behind.

    It's just that the current Apple has not yet shown such a strong aura and domineering attitude. Of course, it is also because Xiao Qi directly snatched their iPad away. Dreamstars is no worse than the iPhone. Whether Apple can be as popular as in its previous life is still a matter of course.  An unknown quantity.

    Of course, Apple¡¯s confidence is still there, their R&D personnel are still strong, and Gang Leader Qiao is much healthier than in his previous life, so Apple¡¯s future development will definitely be better than other American companies.

    Back to the topic.

    Google had originally asked Xiao Qi about the price of Yahoo, but it didn¡¯t take long for Google to start a lawsuit with Fairy Company, which completely blocked Xiao Qi¡¯s way of selling Yahoo to them.

    ¡°I wonder if Paige will regret finding fault with Xiao Qi when she thinks of this?

    In fact, for Xiao Qi, supporting a strong enough Microsoft to directly compete with the upcoming rise of Google is definitely a clever move.

    Because Google¡¯s Android system is a free brand, but don¡¯t forget that the ancestor of the free brand is Microsoft¡¯s Windows. It opens interfaces for all software, so that all software can be made based on Windows, directly converting the original  Apple beat the shit out of it and achieved the great success of a generation of overlords!It¡¯s just that Windows runs on a computer platform, and Android runs on a mobile phone.

    But with springboards like htcg1 and surface, Windows¡¯ ambitions to develop on mobile phones will definitely expand.

    Both systems are free, and they have to compete for customers in the free field and divide each other's customer base. This is a great thing for Xiao Qi and the AppStore Alliance!  (To be continued)
