The cafe was deserted, with melodious music playing.
"I'm here,
Right here,
It is as short-lived as a sudden death, as gorgeous as summer flowers..."
Ding Lingling, Lu Fei pushed open the door and entered on time for the appointment.
I saw Shao Yibo wearing a plaid shirt, crossing his legs and looking at the hot coffee in front of him.
"Long time no see, Mr. Shao. How are you?"
"Very good, Mr. Lu."
He showed a relaxed smile and said frankly that his father-in-law passed away last year, and he stayed with his wife in the United States until the child was born and one month old before returning to China to work on his career.
"congratulations."
Lu Fei spoke sincerely and ordered a cappuccino.
Shao Yibo reveals his Buddhist roots, "For me, family is more important than career. Financial freedom is enough, and extra money becomes a burden."
"Brilliant!"
"Haha, this period of time has made me think about life. I am very grateful to have such an opportunity."
Two rivals for many years, the former Zhongshentong and Xikuang, sipped coffee and chatted for a while, Lu Fei finally got to the point——
"I wonder what Mr. Shao wants from me?"
"For Yi Bei, make a deal with Mr. Lu."
Shao Yibo looked serious, "Meg asked me to pass on a message, hoping to fully acquire Feigou.com and willing to pay US$2 billion."
"ha?"
Lu Fei chuckled, and the coffee almost spurted out of his mouth.
"This is an American-style business war. If you can't solve the enemy company, you will buy the company to eliminate competitors and gain economies of scale."
Shao Yibo reminded again that he was just a messenger.
"Okay, we can negotiate, but the price is not this price, 2 billion? That was the price of financing last year."
Lu Fei took a sip of coffee and smiled playfully.
Today's Feigou.com includes Haoyigou TV shopping and Zhongtong Logistics. Its scale has tripled in Sasili. From the 10 Boeings temporarily contracted by three companies, including Yangtze River Express and Nanyuan Airport, it has been reduced to 6 regular contracts. .
Jingdong, which occasionally supplies b2c, mainly handles time-sensitive parts.
Shao Yibo said: "Mr. Lu, tell me the number and I'll tell Meg."
"I have always raised Feigou.com as my biological child. It is not a cash cow. It is my flesh and blood relative, so I have to pay more!"
Lu Fei did not walk away with a joking tone, "At least 8 billion U.S. dollars, all of which must be in cash."
Shao Yibo smiled instead of getting angry, knowing that he was completely joking.
The entire eBay stock market in the United States is also worth US$12 billion or US$8 billion. Even the richest man in mainland China does not have such a large amount of assets.
Lu Fei narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Shao wouldn't invite me over for coffee just because of this, would he?"
"No, that's business and my personal business."
Shao Yibo took a deep breath: "Mr. Lu, do you want eBay? If you want eBay, as long as you open Jinchou, I will sell it to you."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Mr. Shao won't make fun of me, right?"
"Absolutely true!"
Shao Yibo laughed at himself and said: "My career is in China and my family is in the United States. It is difficult to have both in different places. I don't want to miss my children's childhood, so I can only leave eBay."
"I admire you." Lu Fei said sincerely.
"But as Mr. Lu said, entrepreneurs regard their projects as their own flesh and blood, and when looking for an adoptive family, they also hope to find a good family."
Shao Yibo looked serious.
Lu Fei pondered for a moment and declined the "good offer": "Whether it is a merger or acquisition, eBay still holds shares. If this was the case, Feigou would not refuse to inject capital in the first place, just because it is afraid that the dove will occupy the magpie's nest."
"I regret it!"
Shao Yibo took a sip of coffee, his mouth was full of bitterness.
"I'm tasting the bitter pill now. They took advantage of my unpreparedness and stole and controlled the middle and senior management. They forced me to sell eBay to them."
"How much?"
"65% of the equity, 100 million U.S. dollars, but in SARS and Hanxin, I can clearly see Mr. Lu's character. I am willing to sell it to Feigou at a cheap price. I don't want to make the same mistake again and again and introduce foreign enemies."
"Yibei is not so scary. Mr. Shao, don't be burdened. I will make Yibei understand that Huaxia is not such an easy place to stay!"
The confidence in Lu Fei's words made Shao Yibo exhale.
He said with a smile: "Mr. Lu said this, I feel at ease, and I won't talk about the other company."
“Is there another company that’s offering a quote?”
"Ali Baba, but in my opinion, it doesn't have its own model at all. It completely copies the Feigou model. I don't like Lu Yun either, and I don't like him as a human master."
"Mr. Shao, wait."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, why are there deer clouds everywhere?
He turned his glasses and said with a bad smile: "Since you want to sell it, why not sell it for a high price? I think it's more than 100 million. I can put on a show and ask eBay for more money."
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by Feigou helping me raise the price?"
"And Ali Daddy."
………
On the third day after the meeting, Logic and Huawei reached a preliminary consensus.
Sun Hongjun and Sun Yafang agreed on a cooperation framework, but the investment ratio, control and control, etc., are all to be determined. The two parties formed a joint inspection team and first visited the Samsung wafer factory for investigation.
Ren Zhengfei and Lu Fei, the two kings, had no objections.
With Huawei joining, he is looking forward to the negotiation team, and his energy has temporarily shifted from chips and semiconductors to e-commerce.
He went back to Yanjing and asked Xu Lei and Liu Gedong to meet him.
Xu Lei wondered: "Ali wants to eat eBay? No way, it can eat it!"
Lu Fei said: "Lu Yun is willing to pay 90 million US dollars. Not only will he raise funds, but he will also exchange shares. After the share exchange, Mr. Shao's shares may even be higher than Lu Yun."
"Hiss, this is stud." Xu Lei took a breath.
"worth!"
Liu Edong rubbed his chin, "Ali is developing very fast and is already the third largest e-commerce company in the country. If it takes over eBay, it will surpass Joyo and become the second largest company. The valuation in the next round may double."
Xu Lei asked: "Aren't they afraid of being backlashed by eBay like eBay?"
“Ali, like Feigou, both share AB shares.”
Lu Fei smacked his lips, "SoftBank, the largest financial backer, also supports Lu Yun. With Lu Yun's ability, it is impossible for them to win against us, but it is not easy to deal with eBay."
Liu Edong narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Lu, Lu Yun is very ambitious. He wants to be number one in the country in b2b. He knows that b2c can't beat us and is not as good as excellence, so he bets on c2c and lets Taoduoduo be the second."
"Just take it as such, China is dedicated to taking over the third place in the world, and we Feigou are dedicated to taking over the second place in e-commerce."
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up slightly, "I promise Mr. Shao that I will raise the price with support."
"As for us..."
Before Xu Lei finished speaking, he saw Liu Yudong's sly eyes from the corner of his eye. He paused and thought about it carefully.
eBay and Ari competed with each other by raising prices, and the result was nothing more than——
Either Yibei pays a huge price to win, and Ahri will never be able to bear the burden, not to mention that a third or fourth child will most likely become enemies and fight for blood.
Either Ali wins and swallows eBay, or it has to face the anger of eBay's failed acquisition, and it also has to fight internally.
Instigating a fire? Driving a tiger to devour a wolf? Isn’t this the American way?
He stared at Lu Fei, unable to look away for a long time, "One word, absolutely!"
"It's best not to let Ahri take over eBay. Ahri will be more difficult to deal with than eBay after the internal friction is over."
Liu Edong said in a serious tone, "Ari's Chengxintong, combined with eBay's Yipay, is the third largest payment service after us and Penguin. Lu Yun still imitates us in every aspect and flirts with the entertainment industry."
"Payment is not a problem. There is good news from the industrial and commercial side."
Lu Fei frowned slightly, "In this entertainment industry, is Ahli and Hua Yi causing trouble again?"
"They want to fully cooperate and establish partnerships in the development of film and television by-products. Ahri also wants to participate in the advertising investment meeting of "A World Without Thieves" with us."
Xu Lei curled his lips and said, "This time the person who came here is evil."
"They are the home team and we are the visitors."
Lu Fei casually asked about specific matters and told him that if the price was high, he could give up strategically.
Xu Lei was surprised: "You don't want to go in person, do you?"
"How can I do such a derogatory thing?"
Lu Fei curled his lips and called Tang Danian. Didn't Huayi's Wang Xiaowang and Feng Pengtong always want to see Tianyan?
"Hey, you, they want this. They have been begging for it several times. As long as you nod, they will prepare a banquet right away."
"Then give them a chance and ask Director Zheng to give senior sister a holiday, and she can come as well."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
