America is in control

Chapter 130 The surprise for the aunt and the coveting of the giant
"Don't worry! Uncle. I will handle the relationship with Connery!"

General Liu nodded towards Alfonso, knowing that the other party had good intentions.

Alfonso patted General Liu on the shoulder and said nothing more.

During the following period, Liu Jiang lived a rare and stable life.

In addition to the unshakable daily training routine, he also visits the studio where the post-production team of "Escape from Las Vegas" is located from time to time to learn producer-related knowledge from behind Mark Fisher.

Li Chengxiong found several villas that met General Liu's requirements through a Chinese intermediary.

General Liu didn't do any ink. After confirming the time with the agent, he brought his aunt and his family to view the house.

Melissa didn't understand what was going on at first. She thought Liu was going to change houses again.

She scolded the other party with a sullen face, blaming General Liu for spending money so lavishly.

General Liu was not in a hurry to reveal the truth, but waited for the other party to choose the most suitable villa before telling Melissa his plan.

Melissa couldn't believe it. After confirming it several times, she was still a little reluctant to move.

But she couldn't stand the persuasion of General Liu and Alfonso.

In addition, the educational resources nearby are indeed excellent, and it is not far from General Liu's villa.

What's more important is that this place is safer than the previous neighborhood.

Melissa finally accepted General Liu's kindness, and the safety of her aunt's family was finally somewhat guaranteed.

As for business matters, most things are going well.

The stocks Liu will invest in have steadily increased in value, with the market soaring.

The research on quick-drying blended fabrics has also entered the fast lane, and the results will surely be available in a while.

Only Yahoo has some twists and turns, and Liu will have to devote most of his energy to dealing with this matter.

On this day, Liu Jiang received a call from Yang Zhiyuan.

"Hey, Bro. Yahoo has been developing very fast recently! The name has spread to Los Angeles, and there are many people around me talking about Yahoo."

"John, with sufficient funds and an experienced management team, Yahoo will definitely get better and better!"

Of course Liu Jiang knew about Yahoo's money situation, but why did the other party suddenly call?
Is Yahoo preparing to launch a second round of financing?

"Yahoo isn't short of money these days, right? The $200 million was burned through so quickly?"

"Where are you thinking! But there is indeed trouble coming to the door recently. John, you have to come to Sunnyvale City."

trouble? Come to your door? General Liu immediately concentrated his energy.

"What's the trouble? Can't we talk on the phone?"

"It won't be clear for a while on the phone. It's better for us to talk in person. Mr. Michael Moritz will also come over."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to book the earliest flight to San Jose."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang immediately contacted Harvey and Li Chengxiong and asked them to accompany him to Sunnyvale.

Since trouble is coming, he is going to bring Martin and Lei with him to help him suppress the situation.

Eventually, Liu asked Alfonso to book six flights to San Jose.

The next day, a group of six people came to Yahoo's office after a long journey.

General Liu first said hello to Li Ziang, and then was welcomed into the conference room by Jerry Yang and David Filo.

Michael Moritz was chatting with two of his men. When he saw General Liu, he immediately said hello.

"John, long time no see! I watched your recent match on TV. The punch you used to KO your opponent was simply too brutal!"

"Mr. Moritz, it's nice to see you again. That punch was just normal!"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Jiang walked up to the other party and shook hands with him tightly.

After everyone chatted for a while, the meeting officially began.

"Everyone, I asked you to come here today to tell you a piece of news."

"Industry giant AOL (America Online) wants to fully acquire Yahoo!"

"This is not the first time that the other party has made such a request. Even before Yahoo's first round of financing, the other party wanted to completely absorb us." Yang Zhiyuan looked serious, and the news he said shocked everyone in the conference room.

It turns out that Yahoo has been developing extremely fast during this period and has attracted the attention of many Internet companies.

AOL didn't know what the reason was, but it once again came up with the idea of ​​acquiring Yahoo.

And the other party took action directly and found Jerry Yang and David Filo again.

Faced with the coveting of giants, the two founders of Yahoo could only hold a shareholder meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

"What do you two think? How much does AOL offer?"

Moritz asked calmly.

"Yahoo is our child, and our biggest wish now is to accompany it as it grows step by step."

"We don't think selling Yahoo to AOL is the right choice. AOL will only destroy Yahoo."

"AOL's bid was unimaginably low. The other party actually planned to take away Yahoo for only US$500 million."

"This is simply unacceptable!"

Yang Zhiyuan said slowly, he and David had already agreed on the idea.

"John, what do you think?"

Moritz turned to General Liu and asked.

"Yahoo has huge potential, otherwise it wouldn't be targeted by AOL."

"But there is no sincerity in AOL's bid at all. It is just trying to pick peaches."

"I support Jerry Yang and David's idea, which is simply unacceptable!"

General Liu has clearly stood on the side of the founder of Yahoo. If he doesn’t rush to increase his favorability now, then when will he be better!

Besides, in the previous life, Yahoo went public smoothly, and the acquisition never happened.

Naturally, you have to be on the side of the winner!
AOL wants to steal its own gold, are you kidding me? There are no doors!
After listening to General Liu's speech, Moritz nodded. He thought for a moment and continued to ask questions to Jerry Yang.

"In addition to the quotation, AOL also provided benefits."

"The other party promised us some AOL stock, plus a stable job, and guaranteed that we would become rich."

Yang Zhiyuan said somewhat dumbfounded.

"that's it?"

A smile flashed across Moritz's face and he confirmed to the other party again.

"only these!"

Yang Zhiyuan answered the other party in a decisive tone.

General Liu almost laughed out loud when he heard this. This is so disrespectful!
After a while of silence, Moritz spoke again.

"Sequoia Capital has never been afraid of any giant. Since the other party plans to rob it, we don't have to be polite and reject it directly!"

Yahoo's shareholders finally agreed.

Jerry Yang dialed the number of AOL co-founder and CEO Steve Kass in front of everyone.

He formally rejected the other party's acquisition request.

Cass's response was an unabashed threat.

He claimed that AOL would support a similar company to squeeze out Yahoo.

Yang Zhiyuan shrugged and hung up the phone calmly.

There is no need to continue arguing with the other party at this time.

Moritz looked around at everyone in the conference room and said domineeringly: "Gentlemen, the war has begun!"

"I must cut off the other party's black hand on Yahoo!"

"Do whatever you can to sabotage the other party's plans!"

"Come on, gentlemen!"
