Elon · Musk was brought up by Li Mu and In short.

Before coming, Elon · Musk has been deduced countless times. If he proposed to sell Paypal to Li Mu's, how would Li Mu answer.

In his opinion, for a person like Li Mu who can have such a net worth at the age of 20, it is unlikely that 90% of him will consider buying Paypal, because in his current form, Paypal has come to him The meaning is more tasteless, and YY's development space must be much larger than Paypal, so at this time, the acquisition of Paypal with YY's shares is also a big loss, and Li Mu is impossible to agree.

So, in the view of Elon · Musk, the biggest thing about Li Mu may be to refuse yourself in various ways.

For example, he may ask himself: "How much do you think Paypal means to YY or Muye Science and Technology?"

Or Li Mu will say: "I do n’t think YY needs a product like Paypal right now."

In short, Elon · Musk concluded that Li Mu Jiucheng would decline his marketing intention.

But he did n’t really want to sell Paypal to Li Mu, he just wanted to use Li Mu to put some pressure on ebay to make a breakthrough in the stalemate price.

However, his didn't expect and Li Mu did n’t even play according to their expected routines, and as soon as they came up, they said, "I have this idea!"

This makes Elon · Musk dumbfounded. He counted countless possibilities, but he didn't calculate that Li Mu would say such things directly.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Li Mu is really interested in Paypal, according to the normal logic of the mall, he actively promotes himself, Li Mu occupies the absolute initiative, so he should not say that he has the idea of ​​acquisition, because once exposed With his own intentions, his initiative is lost.

Normally, even if Li Mu really has this idea, it should be pretended not to be very interested, and then wait for further sales, and then ask the price for it.

Therefore, Li Mu has 10,000 possible ways of answering, but he chose the most unlikely one, which is one that Elon · Musk has never expected.

In a moment, Elon · Musk felt a bit messy, but fortunately it was adjusted immediately after a while, and then said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li is more interesting if we are interested! We can talk in depth on this topic Have a chat. "

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then you will quote directly. I know you should be talking to ebay about acquisition now. You should quote a price first. I will consider it."

Elon · Musk thought, ebay is now willing to give a price of 1.5 billion USD. This time he came to increase the selling price. It does n’t matter if the China people really want to buy, as long as the price meets expectations, no matter who buys it, He and his partners and behind-the-scenes investors will all agree to take action.

So, Elon · Musk said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, our current quotation is: purchase 2 billion USD as a whole package."

"Two billion?" Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I'll say two things. First, the price is expensive; second, I can't afford it. Muye Science and Technology doesn't have so much cash, even if it is melted in the C round. It is impossible to get so much cash, so even if I am interested in acquiring, it can only be a cash + share merger method, I accept Paypal, and you become a shareholder of Muye Science and Technology. "

Elon · Musk immediately said: "The quotation has room for adjustment. As for the cash + share merger you mentioned, I have no opinion on this method. It mainly depends on how much cash you are willing to give and how many shares."

When saying this, Elon · Musk's mood has been relaxed a lot, although I didn't expect Li Mu to answer like that just now, but think about it carefully, Li Mu is interested in Paypal, this is for myself, yes A great thing that does nothing but harm.

If Li Mu is interested in Paypal, his attitude will bring great pressure to ebay even if the final negotiation is unsuccessful, which will eventually force ebay to increase the purchase price;

If the merger and acquisition conditions given by Li Mu are more favorable than ebay, then sell Paypal to him directly, and everyone will take part of the cash, and then the part of the shares of Muye Science and Technology. In this case, in the near future, the shares alone It's a huge amount.

Li Mu this time said with a laugh: "Mr. Musk, I want to ask you a personal question."

Elon · Musk hastily said: "Please say Mr. Li."

Li Mu looked at him and asked with a smile: "Do you want to completely dispose of Paypal and change it to other fields, or do you want to continue to struggle with Paypal for a period of time and win a bigger future?" >

Elon · Musk was stunned. didn't expect Li Mu would ask himself such a question. Of course, he tends to get rid of it completely. From the beginning of this project to the present, there have been several times in the middle because of his immaturity and the wrong route. Like a painter's debut, although is already a blockbuster, but the painter knows in his heart that there are many places in which there are better ways to write, paint, and present, but it is just a matter of course.

So in this case, Elon · Musk would like to be able to get rid of Paypal completely, and then take the report obtained by this virgin work and invest in the new work. The new work starts from scratch and has its own The previous lessons can be achieved in a better way.

However, Elon · Musk is also speculating, why does Li Mu ask this question? Does he want to continue to struggle with Paypal? Or, he hopes to still be CEO by himself after the acquisition of Paypal?

So, Elon · Musk asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and avoided answering his questions, but said: "Mr. Musk, if you can, please answer my questions first."

Elon · Musk nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "For me, I really want to sell Paypal and sell it, and then use cash to invest in other fields."

Li Mu asked him: "Is it because you have no confidence in the future of Paypal?"

Elon · Musk said that the Li Mu's question is really sharp, how should I answer it? If you really do n’t have much confidence in Paypal ’s future, it ’s to hit your face; if you say you have confidence in Paypal, then what you said just now is a bit inconsistent, because if you have confidence, how can you consider packing and selling? ?

I thought about several sets of speeches quickly, and Elon · Musk just said a little bit stubbornly: "It ’s not because of lack of confidence, but I think that Paypal is the blood vessel of electronic Business. Companies that are interested in Paypal must be Wholly-owned acquisitions are more preferred, because only wholly-owned acquisitions can make them more at ease. If we, as the original team, still retain certain shares, it is a huge instability factor for buyers. "

Li Mu opened its hands and said seriously: "I do n’t think so. If your original team continues to hold certain shares, I am totally acceptable, and I think this is better."

Elon · Musk asked him in surprise: "Mr. Li, do you want to buy shares in Paypal, or buy?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "So to speak, I tend to invest in shares but do not control, and I tend to invest in Paypal with ebay."

Elon · Musk dumbfounded: "Do you want to join Paypal with ebay?"

Li Mu nodded: "Yes, my idea is to let ebay control Paypal, Muye Science and Technology to buy a part of shares, first let the capital behind Paypal take all the money to cash out and then withdraw, then your original team ’s shares Cash out a part, and keep a part to continue to hold. We will work together to make Paypal bigger and you are also the CEO of Paypal. "

Elon · Musk embarrassedly said: "Mr. Li and ebay are very tough on the purchase of Paypal. They have always insisted on a wholly-owned acquisition. We have now psychologically accepted the proposal for a wholly-owned acquisition of ebay, which is now the largest The problem is that the price is not agreed, so I think that ebay may not be willing to join you in Paypal. "

Li Mu said with a laugh: "After all, you and I are meeting here now. Even if the attitude before ebay is tough, it should be worried now. As long as there is concern, there will be loosening."

Elon · Musk's expression was a bit embarrassing. In his opinion, this paragraph Li Mu said lightly, but he has directly pointed out his true purpose. He came this time just to meet Li Mu. To loosen the attitude of ebay, has Li Mu already seen through his motives?

Thinking of this, Elon · Musk tentatively asked: "Mr. Li, do you want to put pressure on ebay and let ebay abandon the wholly-owned acquisition?"

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "China has an old saying, saying that people don't tell secret words. To tell you the truth, Paypal is not useful to me in the future, but I personally think that Paypal is A very promising payment product, so I hope to be able to participate to a certain extent, so this requires ebay to abandon the plan to buy Paypal fully, and consider sharing shares with Muye Science and Technology and your original team, so that Paypal can always Continue to develop as an independent company instead of directly becoming a payment channel in ebay's hands. "

Just finished, Li Mu looks at Elon · Musk, with a hint of playful smile on his face, said: "In fact, Mr. Musk, you come to China this time, isn't the purpose also to be able to use Muye Science and Technology to put pressure on ebay? Do a favor for each other. If you want to make more money, I want to invest in Paypal. We will cooperate with each other to set up a bureau for ebay and let him jump in with a higher valuation, so that he can achieve his own goal. As long as Muye Science and Technology succeeds in investing in Paypal, if your original team really ca n’t wait to completely disengage and do n’t want to have any relationship with Paypal in the future, then I ’m not asking. ”

Elon · Musk dumbfounded! didn't expect, this time I wanted to use Li Mu to pressure ebay. As a result, Li Mu suddenly threw out a clearly thought-out shareholding plan. In this way, he has long seen his fundamental motivation to see him this time on China ...

Thinking of this, Elon · Musk couldn't help but ask himself: "Is this why I am being opposed by Li Mu? Is he trying to use him to force ebay to raise prices, or does he want to use himself to force ebay to give up the wholly-owned acquisition , So that he can also participate in it? "
