Google.
When Larry Page informed all board members of the latest asking price of Li Mu, there was a sudden scolding in the conference room.
In front of these gangs of American capitalists, Li Mu has become a wicked capitalist who bullies the market, intimidates and lures, makes a temporary intent, and sits on the ground.
Larry Page knows how these people feel and asks them to dilute 15% of the shares. It is indeed a thing accepted by hard to. Not to mention that after dilution, Li Mu will become the new shareholder of Google, one with 15% of the shares. New shareholders with a value of tens of billions of USD, such shareholders have a very large actual weight, and can even affect the entire Google for a long and far-reaching future.
Although the benefits of Li Mu's shareholding in Google can be clearly understood by these people, they cannot make an accurate measurement and judgment. The low price makes Li Mu a direct loss of 15% of the share, and the net profit of Li Mu after the shareholding Which is more first-year university student? Larry Page insisted that the latter was bigger, but some shareholders did not think so.
They think it is okay for Li Mu to want a benefit, but this benefit must have a degree, even if he builds a highway, the toll can not account for 15% of the whole car, this is no longer a cooperation, yes Looting.
Subsequently, the result of the first vote, 78% voted against, and the new offer was not approved by the board of directors;
Larry Page hastily explained to the board members present: "The way although Muye Science and Technology sits on the floor is very hateful, but we must be aware of the potential threat of Muye Science and Technology. If Muye Science and Technology enters the search engine, our future will be greatly affected. Impact! "
A shareholder said: "Muye Science and Technology will soon complete the privatization of Apple. Li Mu will have to invest a lot of experience in enterprise integration. In this case, I do n’t think Li Mu has experienced the development of a search engine. , We are experts in the field of search engines. We know very well what an excellent search engine needs, how strong technical support and development cycle, when Li Mu launched his first search product, I believe we have successfully listed. "
This view has been endorsed by many people. Some people echoed: "I admit that Muye Science and Technology is very powerful, but he is not all-round. Even if he is all-round, his energy and physical strength are limited. Muye Science and Technology wants to be in the search engine It takes at least a year or two to form a positive competitiveness with Google. "
Larry Page shook his head and said: "If Li Mu is to be a search engine, he will never develop a new one from the beginning. He said last time that he can let Robin of Baidu take all the technologies and patents of Baidu at any time. Both are open to him, and then Baidu is divided into two worlds, Baidu is the local China, and Muye Science and Technology is the overseas market. In this way, Li Mu can directly own an own search engine in Baidu search kernel overnight, the next day It can be embedded in all products to conduct rapid derivation. You must know that the technical strength of Baidu is not much different from ours. "
"Hahaha!" A shareholder smiled and said, "Larry, are you too easy to be scammed? Baidu will open all its technical patents to Muye Science and Technology? Li Mu Why is he so confident? This is a internet How can the core wealth of an enterprise be given to others so easily? As for the dichotomy of the world, it is even more ridiculous. Is Baidu willing to be a China local search engine for a lifetime? As long as it cooperates with Muye Science and Technology, it is equal to Directly lock yourself in the China market and change to you, would you agree? "
Larry Page explained: "You have ignored the influence of Li Mu in the China internet industry, and he himself is a shareholder of Baidu."
The shareholder pouted, and said disdainfully: "I am a shareholder of Google, but I also invested in many companies that participated in Silicon Valley. Does this mean that one day I will request Google patents from Google With technology? "
Larry Page countered: "As I said earlier, you neglected the influence of Li Mu in the China internet industry."
The shareholder asked again: "Let ’s put aside the influence of Li Mu's, let ’s talk about the possibilities. As far as I know, Baidu itself is also a Silicon Valley capital investment company. The purpose of capital is development and expansion, Baidu The shareholders must also look forward to Baidu being able to get out of the China market and bring overseas markets to seek breakthroughs. Under such a premise, how could they be willing to limit their activities to the local China? Do n’t they want to expand overseas? "
Larry Page said: "I think BaiduRobin's character should be as stable as Li Mu said."
At this time, a board member frowned and said, "Larry, do you know Robin?"
Larry Page said: "Strictly speaking, don't know."
The director said: "If you don't know him, how can you be sure of his personality? Is it because Li Mu said he is more stable, so you believe it?"
Larry Page was suddenly speechless, and he really did n’t know much about Robin. I believe that what Li Mu said was mostly based on his own intuition and judgment, but such words were obviously not persuasive. It's better to hold it in your stomach than to say it.
The director saw Larry Page had nothing to say, and pressed forward step by step: "Larry, in my opinion, you are completely frightened by Li Mu, and the gun in Li Mu has not only no bullets, It may even be just a simulated gun, just like the tricks commonly used by high school dropouts to rob convenience stores. A simulated gun, a balaclava, pointing a gun at your head, threatening you if you do n’t take the money Take it out, he will hit your head! In fact, Li Mu just used a set of threatening words to scare you off, and when you come back, you will add threats to Li Mu's intimidation, and then help Li Mu to come Intimidate us. "
Speaking of this, Director hastily said again: "Of course, I do n’t mean that you have the intention to harm the interests of Google, but your personal judgment is somewhat affected by Li Mu."
Larry Page said angrily: "Jessie, it ’s too irresponsible for you to say that, everything I do is to make Google develop better, otherwise I do n’t have to repeat three times. Fan is eager for a cooperation opportunity in front of Li Mu, and what I want to declare today is that you should not be judged by the other party ’s quotation. When we are preparing to give 5 points to Li Mu's, each of you think That idea is very good, and they all agree very much. They also recognize the strength of Li Mu's. They think that Li Mu's shareholding in Google will greatly improve Google; but now, when Li Mu needs 15% opening, you not only refuse, but also start Looking at the actual ability of Li Mu's subconsciously is inconsistent! "
A shareholder said: "We were mostly influenced by you before, so it affected the subjective judgment. In fact, now think about it, Li Mu can't do anything for us in a short time, we just grab the opportunity and rush again. , Li Mu will not be able to catch up with us in the next two or three years, why not do it? "
Larry Page felt desperate. He shook his head non-stop and said, "You are unwilling to make sacrifices in the end. It is normal for you not to sacrifice sacrifices, but I hope you can be positive. , You think about it for a while, because of the increase in other people ’s quotations, you start to feel that other people ’s things must be a pile of useless garbage. This is a standard self-deception. "
"Vote again." The board ’s person in charge said: "If we continue to argue, there will be no results. We vote again. If everyone still refuses to stand for the majority this time, then we will refuse; if Everyone thinks that the contract brought back by Larry is acceptable, then we will sign the contract and vote for a three-game two-win system. "
Larry Page rubbed his temples and voted, but he was not sure.
However, in this case, voting is already the best solution.
After a few minutes, the voting results came out: 73% of the opponents.
Larry Page didn't expect said so much by himself. The opponents only dropped from 78% to 73%, which did not affect the results at all.
In view of the very consistent results obtained in the previous two times, the board of directors immediately announced that it refused Li Mu ’s request for a 15% stake in Google.
Larry Page shook his head helplessly while admonishing: "You guys, Li Mu gave us 24 hours, which means we have at least one afternoon and one evening to modify what we made. Decided, I still hope that everyone can accept the Li Mu's offer, although looks like we have lost a lot, but in fact ... "
Larry Page has n’t finished yet, and the director just whispered, “Larry, please do n’t be alarmist here anymore, we have given the final result about the Muye Science and Technology. The final result is : "No! "
......
The 24 hours agreed with Larry Page is about to pass. Li Mu still has n’t received any news about him. Li Mu already understands Google ’s decision.
Just 10 minutes to 24 hours away, Larry Page called Li Mu. As soon as the phone was connected, he said very dejectedly: "Chief Li. I ’m very sorry, but our company ’s board of directors passed After a night of consultation, I was unable to accept your 15% quotation. I think this cooperation can only be terminated early. "
Li Mu nodded lightly and said, "It does n’t matter, Larry, China has an old saying that trading is not benevolent and righteous. We have n’t been able to cooperate with although this time, but we are very happy to be friends with you."
Larry Page smiled bitterly. When did you treat me as a friend? My whole person is almost forced into neurasthenia by you now, but he said on his mouth: "Chief Li, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Li Mu nodded and smiled: "Yes, I hope it is as fast as possible!"
Larry Page said, "I hope so!"
Li Mu smiled and said: "It is not a wish, it must be!"
