Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 818
Three days later, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen appeared in the capital, and then Ari, represented by Jack Ma, and Yahoo, led by Yang Zhiyuan, appeared in a hotel conference room.

After everyone had introduced themselves, Yang Zhiyuan said straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, I won't say much about other polite words. I came here this time to buy some shares of Ari. I thought I would buy some shares from Mr. Ma." Buy 40.00% inside, but Mr. Ma told me that the shares of Ari are all in your hands, so I want to make a deal with you."

Lu Yiming already knew Yang Zhiyuan's goal a long time ago, so he said without hesitation: "President Yang, I'm really sorry, the shares in my hand are not for sale."

Yahoo is exhausted, its thinking is backward, and it is still playing the game that has been updated to the new version 1.0 with the thinking of the Internet 2.0 era. How can it be possible to play well?Selling Ali's shares to Yahoo is tantamount to giving a golden rooster who can place orders to a dying gambler.

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Jack Ma felt very refreshed.Although he asked Yang Zhiyuan to come to Lu Yiming to buy shares, in fact, he didn't want Lu Yiming to agree to sell the shares in his heart.

And if Lu Yiming agrees to sell, then 40.00% of the shares will definitely not be sold from Lu Yiming, and he, Jack Ma, will definitely sell a part of it.

This is not what Jack Ma wants to see.

In the past, this transaction was for Ma Yun to raise funds to fight against eBay, but now the target of the transaction has changed from Yahoo to Lu Yiming.

And Lu Yiming's straightforward answer was also regarded by Jack Ma as a sign that Lu Yiming recognized his business philosophy.

When Yang Zhiyuan heard the words "not for sale", he didn't take it seriously. He felt that the money must be insufficient, so he continued to say enthusiastically: "Mr. Lu, Yahoo is really sincere. The price of 20.00 million US dollars, [-]% of the shares, this price I can guarantee that no one else in the world can afford it.”

He said before that it was 40.00% of the shares, but now he knows that it is impossible for him to get that much, so the next best thing is.

If it were another investor or investment institution, facing Yang Zhiyuan's offer, they might agree without saying a word.

After all, Lu Yiming only used 500 million to get 50.00% of the shares at the beginning, but now he only sold 20.00% of it for 250 million US dollars, and the return rate is more than [-] times!
However, Lu Yiming is familiar with the trend of history. He is very clear that 250 times is not the end of Ahri. Ahri has not yet been listed, let alone 20.00%. Even if it sells for [-]% at this price, it will be a blood loss.

Lu Yiming did not bargain with Yang Zhiyuan on the price, but asked with a smile: "President Yang, let me ask you, tell me sincerely, how much do you think Ahri is worth?"

Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, didn't he just say 20.00 million 25%?Isn't that [-] billion?
But Yang Zhiyuan was also very clear that this answer was obviously not what Lu Yiming wanted.He didn't speculate too much, but asked directly: "President Lu, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Yiming didn't hide it either, and said, "Mr. Yang, let me tell you this. In my mind, Ahri's market value will reach at least 15 billion US dollars in the next 8000 years."

"How much? Eight hundred billion? Dollars?"

Yang Zhiyuan wanted to laugh hearing this number!
When you bought the shares, you estimated the value at 1000 million, and when I bought the shares, your estimated value was 8000 billion?

Isn't this kidding me?
Not to mention Yang Zhiyuan, even Jack Ma, who was used to bragging, was scared enough by the price.

"Mr. Lu, is what you said true?"

$8000 billion?
How much is that?
I can't even think about it!
Yang Zhiyuan looked at Jack Ma and asked, "Mr. Ma, do you believe Mr. Lu's estimate?"

Of course, Jack Ma wanted to believe it. After all, with 8000 billion US dollars, let alone a company, even a country with such a large GDP can rank first in the world!
But Jack Ma's rationality told him again that Lu Yiming's price was purely a joke.

Ari's market value can reach 800 billion—no, if it can reach 80 billion US dollars, Jack Ma will feel that he is so high or low that Lu Yiming will kowtow three times in a row.

Yang Zhiyuan let out a long sigh, and said to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, I'm not joking with you. I sincerely want to discuss cooperation with you."

Lu Yiming also said with a serious face: "Mr. Yang, I'm not joking with you. You should also be aware of Ari's current development. Now is definitely not the end of Ari. The 8000 billion I said is. It's about making money. I never take a joke."

This is very clear, my price is such a price, if you can afford it, you can buy it, if you can’t afford it, don’t talk about it.

Yang Zhiyuan was also depressed in his heart, 8000 billion, 20.00% of the shares would cost 600 billion, and what's more, it was US dollars.If I have so much money, do I need to rush over to discuss cooperation with Ari and use Ari to hedge risks?

Although Lu Yiming looked very serious, without ridicule or contempt, and even showed sincerity in his every gesture, Yang Zhiyuan still shed tears of poverty in his heart.

If I had money would I be like this dick?
Although Lu Yiming didn't intend to sell the shares in his hand, Yang Zhiyuan didn't want to give up either, so he turned to Jack Ma and said, "Mr. Ma, at the price just now, why don't you sell it to me. You can't even sell 20.00% of the shares in your hand." no?"

The valuation of 8000 billion US dollars, to be honest, Yang Zhiyuan really didn't take it to heart, he thought it was just an excuse that Lu Yiming didn't want to sell the shares in his hand.

Jack Ma definitely wouldn't be so outrageous.

But the fact is that Jack Ma is indeed not as outrageous as Lu Yiming, and the offer of 20.00% of [-] million US dollars is also higher than his expectation.

He is still very excited.

Jack Ma looked at Lu Yiming and asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of this price?"

Lu Yiming said: "What do you ask me for? What he wants to buy are your shares, not mine. You can decide whether to sell them or not. Anyway, my price is so much."

These words made Yang Zhiyuan and Jack Ma think that Lu Yiming's valuation of 8000 billion just now was just a scare.

Jack Ma thought about it, Yahoo's international channels, especially the channels on the beautiful country, are just what Ari needs.So, he said to Yang Zhiyuan: "Mr. Yang, since you are so sincere, I can't let you go for nothing. I can sell 20.00% of the shares. But we still need to discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

Seeing Jack Masong's mouth, a big rock in Yang Zhiyuan's heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Of course."

Two days later, word spread that Yahoo had purchased a 20.00% stake in Ahri for US$[-] million, and the two parties held a press conference at Ahri's headquarters.

After the press conference, it was time to answer questions from reporters as usual.

Yang Zhiyuan, as the most successful Chinese entrepreneur in the United States, naturally attracted the attention of the media, and Lu Yiming, as the youngest richest man in Asia in history, also attracted much attention.

"Mr. Yang, why did you invest [-] million US dollars in Ali Group? Is it because you are optimistic about Xia Guo's development in the e-commerce field?"

Of course Yang Zhiyuan would not say that it was because Yahoo was in trouble and needed Ari to overcome the disaster.I saw him with a serious expression on his face, and slowly said some very structured words: "Xia Guo is my motherland, and I love this land, so after I succeeded in the beautiful country, I wondered if I could Returning to my hometown. At this time, in Xia Kingdom, the Internet industry is also developing rapidly. Did you know? Not long ago, the number of netizens in our Xia Kingdom officially exceeded [-] million, becoming the second largest Internet country after the Beautiful Country. I am for it Proud and hope to continue to contribute to this great cause."

The reporters who didn't know the inside story were moved by Yang Zhiyuan's words, and they were not stingy with their applause and praise.

"Mr. Yang is so good, he is really a good son of our Xia Kingdom."

"I really hope that there will be more entrepreneurs like Mr. Yang. Even if they become famous outside, they will not forget to give back to their hometown."

"With an entrepreneur like Mr. Yang who is dedicated to Xia Guo, Xia Guo's technology will definitely take off."

Listening to Yang Zhiyuan's words and the compliments from the reporters, Lu Yiming, who knew the inside story, almost felt internally hurt.

Whether Lao Yang really loves his homeland and wants to build the motherland, he doesn't know, after all, people are far from each other.But Yahoo's development in the beautiful country was blocked by Google, but it can be verified.

Therefore, the current Xiaguo Internet market is Yahoo's only life-saving straw. As long as Yang Zhiyuan is not stupid, he will definitely grasp it firmly.

However, at this moment, a regretful expression suddenly appeared on Yang Zhiyuan's face, and he said slowly: "Actually, I planned to invest one billion US dollars to buy 40.00% of Ahri's shares. It's a pity, this transaction In the end, it was rejected by Mr. Lu."

billion dollars?

The reporters were shocked.

In other words, Ahri’s valuation has reached 25 billion US dollars?

Is Ari so valuable?

In the impression of many people, Ahri's recent development is indeed good, but after all, he is not a member of the circle, and he does not understand what this "good" means.

But everyone knows how much $25 billion is.

What shocked everyone even more was that Lu Yiming actually vetoed the deal.

Could it be that Lu Yiming is still not satisfied with this price?
Immediately, a reporter brought the topic to Lu Yiming: "Mr. Lu, is this true?"

"Mr. Lu, why didn't you agree?"

Lu Yiming was enjoying himself while watching the show, but he never expected that this Yang Zhiyuan would set fire to him.

He looked at Yang Zhiyuan, but found that Yang Zhiyuan was also looking at him with a smile on his face, so he felt a little depressed in his heart.

It's really speechless to be tricked here for no reason.

Yang Zhiyuan just said that he bought Ahri shares to repay his hometown, but the conversation changed to Lu Yiming not wanting to buy shares. What do you think people will think?
Undoubtedly, everyone will think that Lu Yiming is ignorant and is holding back the country's development.

Some extreme people even think that, as a rich man in China, Lu Yiming is not as patriotic as anyone who came back from abroad.

Lu Yiming obviously understood these pitfalls, so his thinking did not go in this direction at all.

"The company's equity replacement and share acquisition are purely market behaviors, so in terms of business, I did not agree to sell the shares in my hand. It was entirely because I thought the offer was too low. In my mind, The value of the raccoon should be greater than it is now. It has nothing to do with being patriotic or not. I just don’t want to make a loss-making business. I think you all know that I have never done a loss-making business.”

Lu Yiming's sudden one-liner at the end made everyone laugh.

Just thinking about Lu Yiming's current worth, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Hey!
Why is it so easy for the richest man Lu to do business?

It's even more than that he hasn't lost money. For Lu's richest man, if he makes less money, it is tantamount to a blood loss.

All of a sudden, many people became interested in Ari.

Even Lu's richest man is so optimistic, he won't sell Yahoo for [-] million US dollars. Does this mean that we should pay attention to Ari in the future?After Ahri goes public, go buy some stocks immediately.

Ordinary people naturally don't think too much about shares, and wait until the listing to see if they can sign some stocks.

A reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Ari hasn't gone public yet, do you have any plans to go public?"

This question was finally Jack Ma's turn.He immediately sat up straight and said: "We have already discussed the company's listing plan internally. First of all, we can be sure that we will definitely go public. At present, our main focus of debate is whether to list on A-shares or Hong Kong stocks. or NASDAQ. There are more people voting in favor of NASDAQ within the company. Based on the country of Xia, we face the world. Listing on NASDAQ is not only a part of our company’s globalization strategy, but also a It is an important part of our company to be tested by the world market. We must integrate into the world competition."

Many people felt very depressed when they heard that Ali wanted to be listed on NASDAQ.If there is no way, they will have no place to buy this stock if they want to buy it.

Some people can't help feeling annoyed, why isn't Ari listed in China?Otherwise, I might be able to make a fortune.

There are also people who are already thinking about whether they have any contacts in the beautiful country. If Ari really goes to NASDAQ for listing, they can ask someone to help grab a hand.

After the press conference, Lu Yiming said to Yang Zhiyuan: "You are not kind, you dug holes for me in front of everyone."

Yang Zhiyuan pretended to be stupid and said: "Is there? No, haha. Let's go, let's go to the celebration banquet. We haven't seen Mr. Lu for so long. I must have a few more drinks with you..."
