Bill Gates found that things did not develop in the direction he imagined. Isn't it true that officials in China are blind to money or forget about political achievements
Injecting one billion U.S. dollars requires 51% of the equity. According to the market value of Lianxiang Yinshan at this time, the premium is 20%. Isn’t this satisfactory
What's more, they are Microsoft, and no matter how many companies ask for Microsoft's investment, they can't get it.
This doesn’t even count Microsoft’s technical investment.
It seems that the price did not satisfy the other party. I didn’t expect that the Chinese people’s appetite would be so big now.
He asked Ballmer to call Feng Yu in advance because he didn't want the premium to be too high. If the cooperation with Lianxiang Yinshan can be negotiated through Feng Yu, then it should be possible to save a lot of money and prevent Feng Yu from having a hot head again and fighting with Microsoft.
But in the end, Mr. Wei agreed to let his secretary take Bill Gates with him.
Bill Gates is quite satisfied with this. It is said that the officials in China are very good. With this secretary taking action, it should be easy for the other party to compromise, right
What he didn't realize was that Mr. Wei didn't want to talk to him at all.
…
"Please, Lei, after we at Microsoft buy shares, we will increase your salary, not just in cash, but also in some stock awards." Bill Gates extended his olive branch.
These two are the founders of Lianxiang Yinshan. As long as they agree, things will be much easier to handle. Even if they fail to succeed, poaching these two people to Microsoft China is still half the success.
These two people have to bring some elites with them when they change jobs, right? As one goes and the other goes, Microsoft will surely be able to suppress Lianxiang Yinshan again in China.
Qiu Bojun and Lei Dajun looked at each other and said that Microsoft's management team is very powerful, but Bill Gates' management ability is average. Now they can see it. This statement is really not an exaggeration.
Leaders in large companies don't need to come up with any good ideas. They can leave it to their subordinates. The subordinates can come up with several ideas, and the leader can just choose one of them and make the final decision.
Therefore, many people say that for executives of Fortune 500 companies, what matters is their connections, not their abilities. Even a primary school student can be a good executive because there is a huge management and planning team below.
Of course, it would be better if the executive has outstanding abilities. Just like Ms. Whitman of eBay, multiple companies are vying for her.
Even thinking about Yinshan Software Company, Qiu Bojun is the chairman and Lei Dajun is the president, but both of them are just small shareholders. Now the equity of Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company has changed several times. Lianxiang Group has 30%, Taihua Holdings has 35%, Polar Bear Holdings has 25%, and Qiu Bojun has 3%. , Lei Dajun holds 2%, and some other old employees and senior executives hold a total of about 5%.
Three percent became chairman and two percent became president, which shows the trust of the three controlling parties in them. Of course, this was also the condition that Feng Yu agreed to them in the first place.
Although it was just a verbal condition, Feng Yu kept his promise, and they really never suffered any difficulties in management.
But once Microsoft takes control, can they still be the chairman? At most, the president and CEO can be separated, and they may not be allowed to be the two. The power of the company is in the hands of Microsoft. Can they still make some decisions so easily
Bill Gates said he should give them a salary increase. If the salary increase would result in a loss of power in the company, they would rather not have a salary increase. Besides, the current income is not low anymore. Moreover, the plan is that Lianxiang Yinshan will be listed next year, and the stock price will definitely soar by then, so they will not have to worry about running out of money.
Therefore, Bill Gates offered conditions that he thought were very good, but in their view, they were not attractive at all. What's more, when they founded Lianxiang Yinshan, they wanted to be China's own software company and defeat foreign software companies.
Kirilenko originally took a stake because Kirilenko participated with technology, capital and market share, and also promised not to affect the company's management.
For such a long time, Kirilenko has indeed fulfilled his promise, and the technical staff there are indeed strong. Just saying that it has been of great help to their system development, anti-virus software development and translation software development.
Bill Gates is completely different. He wants to control them. How can they agree to turn a company belonging to China into a company belonging to the United States
"Mr. Gates, our answer is still the same. If Microsoft China is merged into Lianxiang Yinshan, then we can discuss it. Other ways, no need to discuss it." Qiu Bojun said lightly.
Bill Gates is so angry that I'm here to talk about acquiring you. Now you want to acquire our branch? We are Microsoft, and we have always acquired other companies. I have never heard of being acquired by others!
The president of Microsoft's China branch who accompanied Bill Gates said: "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Lei, our chairman is being received by your country's leaders this time. And even thinking about our company's investment in Yinshan, your Chinese government axe It’s also supportive, otherwise why would Director Xu follow?”
Mr. Wei's secretary, Director Xu, said: "I'm just here to bring Mr. Gates here to make an introduction. If there's nothing else, I should leave. The state will not interfere with normal business practices between companies."
Damn it, you're a Chinese, it's okay to become an American citizen, and you still belong to your country. If you weren't afraid of the negative impact, Director Xu would have wanted to poke him in the spine and ask, where the hell were you born!
Originally, Qiu Bojun and the others were really worried that the state would intervene, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. It is clearly a fake act.
They looked at Bill Gates playfully, making Bill Gates very embarrassed. Didn't this idiot say that Chinese officials would definitely help us? how so
Bill Gates thought it would be very easy to invest based on his reputation. He did this in many European countries.
When the other party heard that it was Bill Gates, who wouldn't be ecstatic? But when he arrived in China, how could he be neither salty nor soft towards him? Doesn’t China need investment very much? Isn’t it said that Chinese officials like this kind of political achievements in attracting investment
At this time, a person that Bill Gates really didn't want to see appeared.
"Hey, Bill, what a coincidence?"
The faint smile on Feng Yu's face and the slightly raised eyebrows seemed to be full of ridicule.
This Feng Yu must have known that his investment failed this time and came to see his joke. But this time, he must succeed.
"Feng, it's not a coincidence. I came here specifically. I want 51% of the shares of Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company. Please give me a price. I know you can do this."
Feng Yu looked surprised and said with a look of coincidence: "Ah? You want to buy the shares of Lianxiang Yinshan. Such a coincidence, I also want to ask you whether Microsoft China will sell it. I don't want any percentage. I’ll buy all the equity, and you can set a price.”
