Chapter 1629 Education
“How did Yahoo respond?”
Li Rui first asked a question that seemed insignificant.
But in fact, it is often these small details that reflect the other person's attitude.
There is a big difference between whether it is a phone reply or an email reply, whether it is a senior executive who calls himself or asks the secretary to notify him.
Chen Shufa said: "One of their executives and Tang Jun are old acquaintances. They called Tang Jun directly to inform him of the news, saying that the bid was too low and could not be accepted."
"Is this the original words?" Li Rui asked, "Didn't you say what the price they intend to be?"
Chen Shufa said: "I just refused the offer and didn't say anything else. However, the executive said he would come to Xiaguo on a business trip a few days and wanted to meet Tang Jun to talk about the past."
Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, please ask Tang Jun to raise the offer to Yahoo to 6 billion magnesium. In addition, I agree to the other party's invitation. I guess Yahoo wants to find out the truth and ask Tang Jun to do this and this, and this and this..."
After hearing this, Chen Shufa laughed and said, "Mr. Li, your move is too cruel. I guess Jackma will get angry when he hears this news!"
Li Rui said: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Being kind to the enemy means being cruel to yourself. Since everyone wants shares, it depends on who has more means!"
Chen Shufa said: "Do you really want to be a shareholder of Ah Li? I'm afraid that even if you get their people, you won't get their hearts..."
Li Rui said: "Mr. Chen, you don't understand this. As long as you can get people, it's good that everyone belongs to me anyway, so why should I care about who his heart belongs to?"
"Great insight!" Chen Shufa said, "Since you have decided, I will do what you said."
...
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui began to consider acquiring Ali's equity.
From beginning to end, Li Rui's goal was not to really be a shareholder of Ali, not to dislike Ali, but to dislike Jack.
Jack and Wang Xing are similar, both of them are first-class people. Even if Li Rui has the foresight of the reborn, he probably can't play with their 180-odd scruples. He can still be against them without any scruples when he becomes a partner. If he is a partner, he might be cheated by them one day!
Li Rui also went in the opposite direction with Jack in many aspects, and he could not pee in the same pot at all.
Li Rui would rather shake hands with Penguin and make peace and join Penguin's board of directors than be willing to be Ali's partner.
On the surface, Li Rui wanted to acquire Ali's equity, but it was actually a way to repair the plank road and secretly travel to Chen Cang. His real goal lies in other places.
The so-called plank road is built with the opponent, and the main attack direction must be truly believed that the opponent is the plank road in order to obtain a breakthrough in the direction of Chen Cang.
At present, Li Rui asked Chen Shufa to make a clear move and acted as if he was going to buy Ali shares at all costs.
In private, Li Rui had other plans.
Only when everything is placed on the table will Jack shout that he is fooled, right?
Li Rui now has two advantages in competing with Ali for shares.
First, Yahoo really wants to sell its equity, and it doesn't limit the target. No matter whether it is Ali or anyone else, even Penguin, as long as the bid is appropriate, Yahoo is willing to negotiate.
Second, Ali is short of money.
If Ali was not short of money, she would have bought back this part of the equity long before the transfer of Fubei. It was precisely because Ali's cash flow was not sufficient that she took the risk to privately create Fubei's incident, which caused a lot of trouble and damaged her reputation.
Next, Ali wants to promote the overall listing of the group. The equity problem has reached a time when it must be solved, and even if she has no money, she has to force herself.
Jack is said to be looking for help from banks and consortiums, hoping to obtain loans and equity financing to acquire equity.
This is Li Rui's chance to snipe Ali.
The most important thing is that Li Rui also holds a killer weapon!
A killer weapon that no one knows for the time being, but is enough to turn the situation around at a critical moment and make Ah Li completely defeated!
That is the Yahoo Cio Scott Thompson's academic diploma incident.
Thompson just became Yahoo CEO in January this year. He replaced the founder Jerry Yang. This is a signal that Yahoo abandoned its founder's influence and embarked on a new journey.
Before coming to Yahoo, Thompson was the president of PayPal, and with this company founded by Elon Musk, he grew and became one of the most important payment companies in the European and magnesium market!
What no one expected was that this professional manager with a brilliant resume actually made a fake degree in his education. His resume stated that he had a double degree in accounting and computer science from Shishan College, but in fact he only had an accounting degree, and that computer science degree was nothing.
It seems that when it comes to gilding your resume, it has been the same throughout the ages, from the East to the West.
Tang Jun, who is responsible for making an offer to Yahoo, has an education school, and Yahoo Ceo opposite also has an education school. Li Rui even thought with a bad taste. This is simply a fate designated by God. When two bigwigs who were involved in the scandal of the education school meet, they don’t know what each other feels like.
In his previous life, Thompson just took his new position in January, and his academic qualifications broke out without any signs in early May. Yahoo's initial attitude was dissatisfied, but as various media rushed to report, it had a huge negative impact on Yahoo's reputation. The stock price fell for several consecutive days, causing strong dissatisfaction among investors.
The passive Yahoo can only take the method of cutting off the power of a hero and let Thompson resign.
Before Thompson resigned, he had been negotiating with Ah Li about the equity acquisition. He had a very tough attitude and put forward many conditions that Ah Li could not bear.
Just over a dozen days after Thompson resigned, Yahoo's new CEO signed the name on the agreement to sell shares, allowing Ah Li to repurchase 20% of the shares at a very favorable price and extremely relaxed conditions.
Since then, Ali's management has become the largest shareholder and finally achieved control over Ali.
Li Rui did not sympathize with Thompson who forged his education, but the time when the education school occurred was too coincidental, which forced Li Rui to doubt whether there was something wrong with it?
Who is the one who revealed the education department?
Li Rui racked his brains and only remembered that he was a shareholder who had a rift with Yahoo's management. He couldn't think of a specific name, so he could only ask Fu Shande to help investigate. As of now, there is no news.
Calculation was about to explode, and Li Rui sent several messages to Fu Shande to investigate quickly, and then went out to pick up Yao Sixuan.
As soon as they met, Yao Sixuan said, "Wow, big stars! Let me have an interview. Which one do you think is the most beautiful after contacting beautiful big stars such as Tang Shi, Angelina Jolie, and Cameron Diaz?"
Li Rui raised his head and said nostalgic: "Although they are all beautiful, there is always an unforgettable figure in my heart, that is, our 2005 school beauty Yao Sixuan..."
"Tsk, how can I compare with them!" Yao Sixuan said disdain, but her mouth was filled with joy.
Following Yao Sixuan, the two went straight to Xingrui Entertainment.
