One morning, Elon · Musk has been completely fooled by Li Mu.

For him who holds 11.7% of Paypal, whether Paypal can sell 1.5 billion USD or 1.6 billion USD has a real impact on his personal interests.

Elon · Musk each increased Paypal's transaction price by 100 million USD, which is equivalent to creating an additional 11.7 million USD of income for himself, but the amount is quite impressive, but if calculated on a proportional basis, 11.7 million USD of additional income, proportional Less than 7% of total revenue.

However, if you cooperate with Li Mu and bring ebay in, and the three parties jointly hold Paypal, the extra income you can bring will have a chance to reach more than 50% of the original planned income in the short term, and may even reach 100 %.

In this case, Elon · Musk has a thought in mind: in any case, bring ebay in.

Near noon, Elon · Musk asked Li Mu for an unmanned meeting room and a laptop computer, and then he log in his own YY ​​to make a video call with Peter · Thiel far away in Silicon Valley.

As soon as the video is connected, Peter · Thiel asked Elon · Musk with some surprises: "Aren't you supposed to meet with Li Mu? How suddenly Browsing?"

Elon · Musk said: "Li Mu has long seen our little tricks, and the original content of the talks is basically useless."

Peter · Thiel said in surprise: "That China person has seen through? But it does not matter, I have released the wind to the media. Now ebay should be paying close attention. What you talk about with Li Mu does not matter, as long as you can make ebay Anxious, we won! "

Elon · Musk laughed at himself and said, "Peter, we all underestimated Li Mu. Not only did he see through our tricks, he even dug a hole for us, waiting for me to jump a long distance."

Peter · Thiel surprisedly asked: "What pit did he dig for you?"

Elon · Musk said: "Li Mu just gave me an offer, let us help him put ebay in. I personally feel that this offer is very exciting, so I suspended the meeting with Li Mu's and borrowed a computer to communicate with you video. Click. "

Peter · Thiel was puzzled and asked: "Put in ebay? What do you mean?"

Elon · Musk said: "In short, Li Mu wants to buy Paypal."

The expression of Peter · Thiel immediately dimmed, and said contemptuously: "It's really shit, the capital behind us is already complicated enough, I don't want to add a new investor to come in, you have to be clear, we are now Sell ​​the entire Paypal instead of financing! "

"I know." Elon · Musk said: "Don't be excited first, listen to me and then express your opinion."

Peter · Thiel pursed her lips and said helplessly: "Well, you say it, but I can tell you clearly that if it is financing, I disagree."

Elon · Musk said: "The idea of ​​Li Mu's is not pure financing, but joint ebay to acquire most of our shares, so that all the capital behind Paypal is cashed out, and then we, the original team members, cash out part of the shares. , And finally reserve a part of the shares jointly with Muye Science and Technology and ebay. "

"Joint holdings? Muye Science and Technology and ebay? What the hell?"

Elon · Musk described the entire proposal of Li Mu's to Peter · Thiel in great detail. During the listening process, Peter · Thiel's expression turned from disdain to shock, then to ecstasy and excitement. Shouted: "Oh-My-God! Oh-My-God! Oh-My-God!"

Excited Peter · Thiel in the Elon · Musk looks at video, tolerantly asked him: "How do you think of the offer of Li Mu's?"

Peter · Thiel held his head in his hands and almost frantically said: "This offer is simply great! Once Muye Science and Technology and ebay jointly acquire Paypal, the market value of Paypal will definitely increase sharply, and our remaining shares will be more valuable. With so much money, the future is limitless! "

Elon · Musk nodded and said with a smile: "The strengths of ebay and Muye Science and Technology are undoubtedly, if they both share stocks, I guess Paypal will not make additional financing in the future, it is likely that after a period of development Direct listing, in the next two or three years, the market value can reach more than 5 billion USD. If it is listed, it may exceed 10 billion. At that time, the shares in our hands can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of USD. "

Peter · Thiel said: "The key depends on whether ebay will agree. Do I need to do anything here?"

Elon · Musk said: "Now San Francisco is already evening? In this way, your mobile phone and all other contact methods will be closed later. If ebay wants to contact you urgently, there is no way to establish contact with you. I After meeting with Li Mu, go back and make a plan. I will send you offline using YY. After you arrive at the company tomorrow morning, send this plan to ebay to see if they are interested. Interested in the way of shares, then we will make an appointment for specific communication. "

......

Meg Whitman, as the CEO of ebay, is in charge of a huge internet empire with a market value of more than 16 billion USD. As a woman, Meg Whitman has almost become a female professional manager worldwide The highest achievement.

She led a number of major capital operations in ebay, acquired multiple companies for ebay, and allowed ebay to have such a high market value after the internet bubble, which has been called a model of professional managers.

One of Meg Whitman ’s most important tasks in the recent period is to promote the purchase of Paypal by ebay, and strive to include the entire Paypal as quickly as possible in ebay.

Meg Whitman also sees the situation of Paypal right now, so she has always insisted on the offer of 1.5 billion USD without any concessions. She believes that Elon · Musk and Peter · Thiel will definitely accept this purchase price, It ’s just a matter of time.

However, she suddenly heard an unexpected news today: Elon · Musk went to China! And it was to go to China to meet with Li Mu, who was so prestigious right now, which made her feel that the form at the moment was not good.

The name Li Mu's, Meg Whitman is well-known. During this time, YY is in the sky throughout the Western countries.

As long as it is internet People in the industry basically pay attention Muye Science and Technology ,as well as Muye Science and Technology The boss behind him, who was only 20 years old, YY and Paypal cooperated a few days ago to open payment channels First Day Over 10 million USD Recharge, this data scares everyone including Meg Whitman Silicon Valley Elite.

Because of the rocket-like development of YY, the valuation of its market value is also rising. In terms of the current strength of Muye Science and Technology, the acquisition of Paypal is really not impossible.

Meg Whitman has been coveting Paypal for a long time. Originally, she already regarded Paypal as something in her pocket, but Elon · Musk suddenly met with Li Mu, and her heart began to be uneasy, fearing that Li Mu was really Elon · Musk reached an agreement to cut the stubborn halfway and take Paypal.

ebay although can also create a new payment channel by itself, but for Meg Whitman, it is easy to create a payment channel, but it is difficult to promote and popularize payment channels.

Now ebay obviously has no experience in rebuilding a payment channel, and the purchase of Paypal has become the best choice.

However, seeing that the acquisition plan is about to be reached, Elon · Musk even ran to China temporarily, which made Meg Whitman anxious.

Just a few months ago, Meg Whitman led the acquisition of China eBay by ebay. ebay officially entered the China market. although and Li Mu's Taobao did not form direct competition, but in general are in the field of electronic Business. Peers, each has a certain threat to each other.

And just after the Li Mu's Taobao network was born, tremendous development was achieved in China internet. In the future, global development like YY is not impossible, so in view of this, Meg Whitman speculated that Li Mu might be considered If he bought Paypal, even if it was not for Muye Science and Technology, for the future global development of the Taobao network, he would definitely consider it carefully.

Meg Whitman is a veteran professional manager with many years of experience. It can be said that she is well-informed. Because she has been immersed in large enterprises for many years, she is well aware of the operation of big capital, on the capital level alone. She is better than Li Mu, Elon · Musk, and experienced people will inevitably complicate the problem when looking at the problem. Because of this, she had a clear miscalculation of Li Mu at the beginning. .

In fact, Li Mu did n’t even want to globalize the Taobao network for a while. Electronic Business involves too many offline links. The cost of globalization is very high, and it needs to have good government relations in various countries. It is far from having such a strong strength. Develop the Taobao network to all parts of the world, so in the next three to five years or even longer, the market positioning of Taobao is the domestic market.

Taobao does not have a globalization strategy right now. Paypal naturally has much less significance for Li Mu's. He does not need to spend a lot of money or a large number of shares to buy Paypal at this time.

Meg Whitman failed to guess this, so she was very worried all day long, for fear that ebay would miss Paypal.

On this day, she called to Peter · Thiel many times and asked what they thought. Seeing that the cooperation with the acquisition of ebay was the most critical time, Elon · Musk went out to find other buyers. This practice is a bit unethical?

Furthermore, do they really think that China Li Mu can give them a better offer than ebay? Muye Science and Technology does not have such a strong cash reserve at all. What they can do is to replace the shares, which is far less than the pure cash acquisition of ebay!

Although there was great dissatisfaction in my heart, Meg Whitman still controlled his emotions. Instead of actively contacting Peter · Thiel, he convened a core team to work overtime to discuss how to promote ebay to Paypal as soon as possible. To avoid long nights and dreams, even if you increase the purchase price, you must cut off the idea of ​​Paypal to continue to communicate with Li Mu!

As everyone was arguing over whether to raise the price to 1.6 billion or 1.7 billion USD, Meg Whitman ’s assistant stepped into the meeting room and whispered a few words to her ear.

Meg Whitman ’s face instantly became serious, and he said to everyone with a cold face: "Everyone, the latest news, ten minutes ago, Li Mu and Elon · Musk of Muye Science and Technology jointly announced to China media that Muye Science and Technology has plans to hold Paypal! "
