When the new tycoon to go on stage will disturb the rhythm of all the people on the stage, because no one understands the style of this new tycoon ’s work, whether it is conservative or radical, rational or paranoid, once he makes any move, it will cause all No one would dare to take it lightly if people pay close attention.
For Meg Whitman, Li Mu is such a new to go on stage tycoon.
The time is pushed forward one month. Meg Whitman did n’t know who the Li Mu was, nor did he know what the Muye Science and Technology was, but when the China government launched the "internet home" policy, he personally promoted China internet as the government When the industry developed, the internet gangsters in the United States only heard the name Li Mu's for the first time.
When the name Li Mu's first appeared in US media reports, everyone regarded Li Mu as the key person to promote the China internet market. It was a key. It does n’t matter who he is, it ’s important that this person exists , Opened a new era of China internet's vigorous development, and also gave the US internet companies and capitalists a huge market full of endless imagination.
But as Silicon Valley media digs deeper into Li Mu's, Muye Science and Technology's stunning global elite software, YY, has been dug into the tip of the iceberg, and then, YY, like the fire of the prairie fire, quickly swept the entire United States and the entire world.
Li Mu's rise on the world stage is so fast that he has never even been out of the country, and he has been known throughout the US internet industry. It is precisely because of this that Meg Whitman has never met him in his heart. The Li Mu also has considerable fear.
According to normal thinking, younger people tend to be more aggressive in their acting styles, on the one hand because they are young and on the other hand because success comes too quickly, so it is natural to think that success is very easy.
So, Meg Whitman ’s biggest worry is that Li Mu won the Paypal out of the radical style of action. She is not afraid of Li Mu and Li Mu's Muye Science and Technology, but she is afraid that Li Mu will indirectly bring huge to herself. influences.
There is a stranger in the town. There is nothing to worry about, but once he starts to contact his sweetheart in the town, everyone will be worried: whether he is a charming gentleman or an unscrupulous man. The devil? If it is the former, he will let his sweetheart be convinced by him; if it is the latter, he may forcibly defile his sweetheart sometime at night.
Li Mu is an entrepreneur, and he is his own boss. A decision-making failure will not bring him disaster, but for a professional manager like Meg Whitman, if there are major decision-making mistakes during his tenure , Then it will be fired by the board.
Every high-end professional manager has signed a very rich equity return agreement before joining a large company, but there are many conditions for this batch of equity to get it. The first thing is to stay in the job for enough years, and the second More importantly, it is necessary to bring shareholders a sufficiently high rate of return within the prescribed period.
Meg Whitman ’s equity incentive is a cycle every three years. From now to now, the second three-year cycle has passed half. If Meg Whitman wants to meet the requirements of the board of directors within this three-year cycle To help the shareholders of the company to obtain the rate of return they require, they can get the next three-year contract, and after the end of this three-year period, lift and cash out a batch of stocks with a value of at least millions of USD.
On the contrary, if Meg Whitman fails to meet the requirements of the board of directors in three years, not only will the next three-year contract not be completed, but even the stock incentives after the end of this three-year period will be completely lost.
For eBay, the purchase of Paypal is the most important part of the current work. If it fails, the confidence blow to eBay shareholders will be very huge, so Meg Whitman requires himself to be nervous and must not allow a The young China young man who just emerged robbed Paypal from his own hands.
The vice president of eBay and Tom Anderson who is directly responsible for the acquisition of the Paypal project, the pressure at this time is no less than that of Meg Whitman. If he misses Paypal, Meg Whitman as the CEO, at least still can Enran survived the contract period, and he wasn't as lucky anymore, and Meg Whitman might be able to take it back at any time.
So, Tom Anderson immediately contacted Peter · Thiel after the meeting. On the phone, Tom Anderson In short was: "Peter, what are you doing? We have been talking about the purchase of Paypal for so long, You just ran and talked to the China people without saying hello. Is this a bit excessive? "
Peter · Thiel was not surprised when he received a call from Tom Anderson. He smiled slightly and said to Tom Anderson: "Tom, we have n’t signed any agreement of intent, and everyone is still stuck on the price issue. At this time, do we have any problems in searching for other potential buyers? If you eBay make some concessions on key issues, maybe we have already signed the contract. "
Tom Anderson was also somewhat speechless. The two sides have been negotiating on the issue of acquisition for a long time. If they are talking about things, they really have no right to interfere with each other to find other buyers, but the key is to invest so much effort and energy and performance. out enough sincerity, but the other party can be the same as Bitch did not grateful, ready to throw off even hooked themselves to others, of course, Tom Anderson heart dice anger, but was Peter · Thiel say this, they immediately feel a A sense of powerlessness that cannot be refuted.
After a moment of hesitation, Tom Anderson said to Peter · Thiel: "If you have any objections to the key issues, both of us can sit down and talk. As long as you are in good faith with each other, you can reach a final consensus."
For Peter · Thiel, he has been impressed by the proposal of Li Mu's. What he and Elon · Musk are most looking forward to is to be able to cash out some of the Paypal shares in his hand, and then hold some of the shares to appreciate, if all After being acquired by eBay, the interest space is really lacking in imagination.
Paypal is to them a piece of land in the heart of Manhattan. If they develop it themselves, it is at most a multi-storey building under ten floors. If eBay buys it in the past, it might be a building The 100-story skyscraper, originally, eBay's request: I pay, the land belongs to me, you take the money out, and I have nothing to do with you in the future.
Now, Li Mu has given them a new option: you partner with me, and we will force eBay to let us buy shares together. You can sell half of your land for money to improve your life. This money is enough for you to buy a car. , The house to buy a house, the acting cool acting cool, the pick-up girl, the wealth management, the investment investment.
As for the other half of the land, you can use it to join me in this future skyscraper with more than one hundred floors. Once the building is up, at least more than 20 floors are yours, which is no less than the one you sold. Much more money? If I work with eBay to make the foundation stronger, the skyscraper will have two hundred floors in the future, and you will have at least more than 40 floors.
However, if you do n’t have enough strength, if you want to set aside me and play such a game with eBay alone, with your strength, you ca n’t even check and balance such a huge enterprise, so if you want to participate, you can only use Yu Qichu's strategy.
If you want to be between Qi and Chu, you must first have both Qi and Chu. If there is only one eBay family, you are directly fighting against eBay and you are still "between" farts?
Only by bringing Muye Science and Technology into it, will Muye Science and Technology and eBay become Qi and Chu in the future Paypal pattern, and the original team of Paypal can become the Teng Kingdom sandwiched between the two countries. Only in this way can the game be guaranteed balance.
However, Peter · Thiel and Elon · Musk did not fully trust Li Mu. The two initially used Li Mu as a tool to check and balance eBay for the best interests. But the two holding this goal were suddenly changed by Li Mu. Attracted by the good plan, if the Li Mu's plan can work naturally, it would be better, but if this plan cannot landing, they will still return to the original plan, using Li Mu to force eBay to increase the purchase price.
Out of this plan, Peter · Thiel still had to leave some room for Tom Anderson, so he said to Tom Anderson: "Tom, we met with Li Mu, in fact, we wanted to give ourselves an escape route, which is normal. You do n’t need to be so sensitive about your business conduct. We will continue to negotiate with eBay, and we will continue with great sincerity. As you said, if everyone can reach a consensus, we will naturally not hesitate to contract. Sign it. "
Tom Anderson asked him: "What are your requirements for acquisitions now? If it is convenient, you can tell me a rough idea first, or tomorrow we will bring the team responsible for the acquisition out directly and talk about it face to face."
Peter · Thiel said: "Then we will meet and chat tomorrow, there is no need to bring the whole team out, let's meet and chat separately."
......
The next day, at 9:30 am New York time, the NASDAQ opened.
At this moment, the time on the West Coast is just half past six in the morning.
Elon · Musk went to China to interview with Li Mu, and jointly announced to the media that Muye Science and Technology has plans to hold Paypal, which has spread throughout entire US since last night.
Whether it is the internet industry in the United States or the capital market, eBay believes that it is very likely to miss Paypal. Even if it finally recovers the heart of the Paypal team and successfully purchases Paypal, it may cost more than 1.5 billion yuan before. USD is much higher.
So, this is really bad news for eBay's stock price.
The opening price of eBay is 50.55USD, which is nearly 5 percentage points lower than the closing price of 52.88USD on the previous trading day!
The influence of bad news is beginning to show!
