The news that Muye Science and Technology wants to hold Paypal was released by Li Mu and Elon · Musk in Yanjing. China people although do n’t know much about Elon · Musk, but the media, especially online media, are still familiar with Elon · Musk, Paypal One of the founders and CEO of China came to China to find the Li Mu to pay a visit to the pier, which is not a small news in itself, not to mention this is also a thing that can enhance the national self-esteem, so the China media has shown great Passion.

Elon · Musk didn't want to be so straightforward to show the meaning of worshiping the pier. Before coming, I just wanted to play for ebay. I pretended to talk to Muye Science and Technology about Paypal. When didn't expect came, I was dragged by Li Mu. car.

No way, the offer proposed by Li Mu, Elon · Musk ca n’t refuse it. If he and Paypal ’s other team alone want to talk to ebay about the two parties ’shareholding, the possibility is not very great, so they have to pull Muye Science and Technology Only large companies with strength and resources can turn the ebay into the car.

So, after accepting Li Mu'soffer, Elon · Musk has decided to fully cooperate with Li Mu, and both parties will enter ebay together, as long as ebay holds, everyone can benefit.

As soon as the news that China companies are interested in holding American companies came out, there was a wave of public opinion in China. Li Mu has become a professional headline of domestic news headlines recently. The impressive thing came out, especially this time. Most China people do n’t know what a ghost Paypal is, and they do n’t even know which green onion is Elon · Musk, but I heard that it is an American company with a market value of more than one billion USD Come to China to find the Li Mu and pay a visit to the terminal. Everyone immediately took the initiative to learn about Paypal and see what kind of company this eager hugs Li Mu thighs.

ebay was originally a multinational company with a very sensitive information acquisition channel, plus ebay itself has a branch in China, so it knows more about the industry trends of China, Meg Whitman is taking a core team During the overtime meeting, ebay eBay person in charge on the China side had already emailed Meg Whitman's assistant.

Paypal is the biggest strategic layout of ebay at present. The plate of more than one billion USD accounts for almost one tenth of the market value of ebay. If you take Paypal at a reasonable price, it will have a lot of benefits for ebay.

The biggest benefit of the business is that it has its own payment channel, and this payment channel has a considerable foundation in developed countries around the world;

Not to mention the benefits at the capital level. ebay is a listed company. The current market value is 16 billion. It costs more than a billion USD to buy Paypal. It can make a big news in the stock market and capital market. ebay It is also a great good news. The stock price will have at least one round of surge at that time. As long as the market recognition is high, it is easy to increase the market value by 20%, and it is not impossible to increase by 30-50%. The cost of the final acquisition is basically Shangquan made up for the increase in stock prices.

The capital market is extremely sensitive, whether it is in the United States or China. In the China stock market, if a listed company seizes the opportunity to tell a story to the people of the whole country, it is very easy to change a few news for a good news. Yes, if Muye Science and Technology is a company listed on the China main board, and the news of Elon · Musk is just waiting for the dock, without waiting for Muye Science and Technology to really buy Paypal, it will first bring a round of daily limits to the stock of Muye Science and Technology.

However, the sensitivity of the capital market is also a double-edged sword. Positive news will increase the stock price and market value, and negative news will also make the stock price and market value decline.

Because of this, Meg Whitman is absolutely unwilling to see ebay miss Paypal.

In her opinion, ebay must win Paypal. If the Paypal team at the price of 1.5 billion USD does not agree, then the price will be raised. In short, Paypal must not be allowed to fall into the arms of an China company.

The capital market now knows the acquisition of Paypal by ebay, and knows that it is now the most critical stage of the acquisition. For all ebay shareholders and investors, everyone is almost waiting for a champagne to celebrate the successful acquisition of Paypal by ebay, If in the end the bamboo basket fetches nothing, once the capital market is disappointed, ebay's own stock price and market value will certainly suffer from this negative sentiment.

For this layer of consideration, Meg Whitman said with a cold face to the entire core team: "It is not the time to argue about the 1.6 billion or 1.7 billion acquisition of Paypal, the most important thing now is to understand the Paypal team. What do you think? "

Forget it, Meg Whitman said to a white man in his forties: "Tom, the purchase of Paypal has been with you. The Paypal team has made such a big move. What do you have to explain? Is it? "

The male white male known as Tom is the vice president of ebay responsible for the acquisition business. Seeing Meg Whitman hold himself accountable, he had to stand up and say: "In my opinion, the Paypal team may be bluffing this time. The **** is also very big. After all, Muye Science and Technology just announced that there is this plan, and it has not reached a real intention of cooperation. "

Meg Whitman said: "If only Elon · Musk went to China to see Li Mu, I would like to believe that they are bluffing and want to sit down, but now he and Li Mu have proactively announced this news to the media, is it still Is it a bluff? Li Mu and Elon · Musk have no friendship, is there any reason to help Paypal bluff? "

Tom said: "The key is that I really ca n’t think of any reason why Muye Science and Technology has acquired or controlled Paypal at this stage. Their capital is not strong and they are not listed. At this time, funds should be used to promote core business. Only in line with common sense. "

Speaking of this, Tom said again: "Before Elon · Musk went to China, our negotiation as a whole was following the established route. although was a little dissatisfied with our quotation, but the entire internet industry can The 1.5 billion USD acquired Paypal, which is our family. According to our speculation, the Paypal team should sign a contract with us within one month, but didn't expectPaypal suddenly has a business connection with YY, and the two have even produced. Some interactions, followed by Elon · Musk, suddenly went to China, all of which happened very suddenly, which we did not expect. "

Meg Whitman looks at him, asking with a frown said: "You said so much, you want to tell me that you have no responsibility in this matter, right?"

Tom busy said: "Since I am following this project, I will be responsible for any unplanned flaws in the project. I will never deny this."

Seeing Meg Whitman ’s expression eased a little, Tom continued: "I just want to say that we need to analyze the motives of Paypal and Muye Science and Technology in more depth. If it is pure money to buy shares or buy, the Paypal team No one can find an offer comparable to ebay. If Muye Science and Technology really wants to control Paypal, and Paypal is willing to abandon the package sale plan and let Muye Science and Technology control, then they must have reached cooperation on other levels, but what is it? Level, what kind of cooperation has been reached, this is what we need to understand as soon as possible. "

Meg Whitman was awakened by Tom ’s words.

After receiving the news, her heart was a bit anxious, and suddenly came the news that Muye Science and Technology and Elon · Musk jointly announced the holding intention to China media, she was a bit confused, and she did n’t think about it in this direction for a while. , Tom ’s proposal is very important. Now ebay must understand why Paypal tends to cooperate with Muye Science and Technology? What did Muye Science and Technology give them that ebay could not, or did not propose?

So, Meg Whitman thought for a moment and made a decision: "You get direct contact with the key people of Paypal as soon as possible. Since Elon · Musk went to China, then you will find Peter · Thiel. At this time, we There is no need to hold back anymore, just ask them what they want! "

In the meeting room, another vice president suddenly said: "The Paypal team talked to Muye Science and Technology about holding, will it be because they do n’t want to completely dispose of Paypal and want to continue to participate in the Paypal project on the basis of cash out?"

Meg Whitman asked him: "Do you mean that Paypal's team mainly wants to keep a portion of its shares for itself?"

"Yes." The vice president said: "What we have requested is a wholly-owned acquisition of ebay. The althoughPaypal team is also negotiating with us around the wholly-owned acquisition, but for them, if they continue to be optimistic In the future of Paypal, they must also hope to continue to participate in Paypal to a certain extent and continue to enjoy the future of Paypal, which will have more imagination than selling them all. "

Meg Whitman's eyebrows immediately twisted into a ball.

This theory is also very reasonable. The big capital behind Paypal must want to cash out and leave, so whether the cash back income is ebay or Muye Science and Technology, it does n’t matter to them, as long as they can get satisfactory In return, even if the money was drawn by Bin Laden, their profit-seeking capitalists will not refuse.

But for the founders including Elon · Musk, they must have a deeper affection for the Paypal that they created by themselves. If they still want to continue to hold some Paypal shares and continue to have a longer-term future in Paypal, This mentality is also understandable.

It is likely that Elon · Musk was out of this state of mind, and reached an agreement with Li Mu, Li Mu paid for the majority of shares in ebay, and the team held small shares, so that the purpose of both parties can be achieved, but if In cooperation with ebay, the only option is to sell all the shares. In this way, Muye Science and Technology is indeed more attractive to Elon · Musk than ebay.

Thinking about this, Meg Whitman immediately said to Tom: "Tom, you can talk to Peter · Thiel. It is best if you can negotiate a 100% wholly-owned acquisition within 1.8 billion USD, if they want to continue Retain some of the shares, then talk to them about holding. In any case, we must not miss Paypal. The worst result I can accept is eBay Holdings Paypal! If this goal cannot be achieved, you are ready to take over the work. ! "
