Chapter 2181 YAHOO changed hands again!

Xiao Qi never thought that Paul Allen was such a refreshing person.

After only thinking about it for more than a day, Paul Allen personally called Xiao Qi and agreed to the price offered by Xiao Qi.

In addition to the 3.8 billion US dollars in cash he had proposed before, all shares of Amc were sold to Xiao Qi at a price of US$1, he also transferred his 300-acre ranch around Wellington, New Zealand to Xiao Qi at a price of US$2 million; and transferred 18% of the shares of Cameron Pace Group to Xiao Qi at a price of US$300 million.

The ranch is converted into a unit of measurement in China, which is 1,800 acres, which is very large.

In my previous life, Xiao Qi saw an introduction about this ranch online. There was actually a small hill, a river, and a small lake. Not to mention its buildings, even the scenery was magnificent.

It’s not surprising that Paul Allen is a person who loves to enjoy himself, so where would the ranch he bought be bad?

The 2 million US dollars is just a friendly price, and the ranch is worth at least 5 million US dollars.

On weekdays, more than 100 people are hired to manage the ups and downs of the pasture, including breeding dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, etc., which is also a balance of expenses.

As for the shares of Cameron Pace Group, 18% is a little lower, but Xiao Qi does not want to control the entire company. Cameron and his good friend Pace have been working hard to develop and promote. It is the season to harvest, and it is absolutely impossible to transfer the shares of the company to others.

All Xiao Qi wants is the display of 3D technology in the cinema, which will make the kiwi theater of the film queen's sister develop even stronger. This is the third largest shareholder of Cameron Pace Group, but it is very convenient to obtain the latest and best 3D technology.

Once 3D technology and imax technology are merged, it will be invincible in the world!

The same as IMAX company, Xiao Qi transferred the shares of Amc Cinemas and Cameron Pace Group to Xiao Qiao Investment Fund. These things must be integrated together to have power. Qiao Guoer has these two key technologies in her hands, and she will make a lot of money in theaters in the next few decades.

It’s not that Xiao Qi loved the actress’ sister very much and gave her more than 2 billion US dollars in one breath, but the opportunity came. Then don’t miss it.

In the future, Xiao Qi will not buy it for them if he has some industries suitable for his wives.

In fact, Paul Allen and Xiao Qi had a little affair. When they were buying islands in the Maldives, Ellison asked American rich people to buy them together, and Paul Allen came to participate.

However, he and Xiao Qi had no business connection, so he found a more suitable intermediary, Bloomberg, to discuss the matter, so that even if there were any differences between the two parties, they could successfully match them through the intermediary.

Now it seems that Paul Allen's strategy has obviously succeeded.

Of course, Xiao Qi did not suffer any loss. Not only did he successfully get yahoo, but he also got a lot of things he needed, which was very happy.

As soon as the delivery procedures were completed here, Paul Allen immediately arrived in Seattle and held a grand press conference.

At the venue with more than 200 reporters present, Paul Allen announced with great enthusiasm that he would return to Microsoft's board of directors in the near future. He also brought Microsoft an "irresistible gift" to Microsoft, which is to obtain yahoo from Xiao Qi at an extremely low price of US$6 billion.

The reporters were in a roar.

Although yahoo is already a declining giant, as a model of the American dream and a symbol of the Internet era, it still carries the memories of many Americans.

Besides, yahoo is not completely finished now. Even though it has been divested by Xiao Qi, it still has many users, many branches and patented technologies, especially in terms of online search and online advertising, which are much worse than the emerging Google, but it is definitely the second in the world.

What Microsoft lacks is its efforts in online search and advertising. As well as the many Internet-related patents in Yahoo's hands, Microsoft, which used to do software services, is in short supply.

Otherwise, why was Microsoft willing to acquire yahoo for a price of $44.6 billion last year?

Now, Paul Allen bought yahoo at an extremely low price of $6 billion. It's such a beautiful business!

Under the integration of yahoo and Microsoft, when it complements and benefits each other, it is a great shock to think about it.

Google in the future must be careful. Its position as the number one overlord will definitely be subject to great challenges!

It is not cheap or easy to buy a company from Xiao Qi.

Some of the companies that Xiao Qi sold before were all sold at jaw-dropping high prices and were called extremely greedy businessmen.

Some time ago, someone wanted to acquire Yahoo, and the price given was 50,607 billion, but Xiao Qi never agreed.

It is said that his psychological price is 8 billion US dollars.

Although this price is a bit high, with the overall recovery of the US stock market, yahoo's valuation continues to grow. In a few months, it will probably be more than 8 billion.

In this case, Paul Allen was able to win at a low price of 6 billion US dollars, which not only fully demonstrated his negotiation skills, but also proved that he and Xiao Qi had a good personal relationship.

If you want to talk about personal relationships, it is effective and effective, and it is not valuable or valuable. The key is to see who the parties involved are.

For example, if one of them is Xiao Qi, then this kind of personal relationship will work very well.

Look at Xiao Qi sold dreampad, appstore, and dreamstars shares three times, didn’t they all sell them to friends who had a crush on him?

Having a good relationship with Xiao Qi, then next time Fairy Company sells shares, especially appstore shares, won’t Microsoft also compete?

Once you have an online application store, an appstore that has been rated as "Influencing Smart Electronics for 50 Years in the Future", then Microsoft will definitely have competitiveness in the smart electronics industry that cannot be underestimated.

Over the years, with the rise of network electronics, especially mobile smartphones and smart tablets, Microsoft's personal PC market has gradually entered a stagnant stage, and future development will never be as rapid as in the 1990s and 2000s.

If you want to find new businesses with growth potential and find the explosion point for future profits, it is imperative for Microsoft to enter the field of smart electronics.

With such a clever move, Paul Allen not only successfully returned to the decision-making level of Microsoft's directors, but also gained great power. In the future development of Microsoft, he will definitely get more benefits.

Not to mention anything else, Paul Allen will be able to obtain a lot of equity incentives every year, with no less than hundreds of millions of stock revenue every year, and there will be no less than Ballmer and Bill's children's shoes.

Even this time, Paul Allen did not sell it to Microsoft for a loss as Xiao Qi thought, so as to boast about his negotiation ability.

Instead, he sold an extra $200 million and made a small profit.

It can be seen that Paul Allen still attaches great importance to money, and with his intelligence and extensive friendship, this guy can really make a fortune!

Xiao Qi doesn't care whether Paul is making money or not. This is what both parties are... No. All parties have good things, including Microsoft and Yahoo. It is completely unnecessary to care who gets more.

At such a grand press conference, I think Microsoft is fully prepared.

Before the press conference was over, Microsoft's stock rose 2.5%. After the stock market trading all day, Microsoft has even emerged from the best single-day market in the past six months. The increase is as high as 3.2%.

Google is so angry about this.

After all, in the US market, Google and Microsoft are absolute competitors, which is not even comparable to Apple.

In the past life, Apple will be ahead of the world and leave Google and Microsoft behind after all the magical tools such as ipod, iPhone, iPad, and Imac are all released and complete industrial chains are reached.

However, Apple has not yet shown this strong aura and domineering attitude. Of course, it is also because Xiao Qi directly snatched their iPads, and Dreamstars are no worse than iPhones. Whether Apple can be as popular as in previous lives is still unknown.

Of course, Apple's confidence is still there. Their R&D personnel are still strong, and Gangmaster Qiao is much healthier than in his previous life, so Apple's future development will definitely be better than other American companies.

Let's get back to the topic.

Google had already asked Xiao Qi about the price of yahoo, but not long after Google began to sue with Fairy Company, which completely blocked the way Xiao Qi sold yahoo to them.

I wonder if Page would regret finding Xiao Qi when he thinks of this?

In fact, for Xiao Qi, supporting a powerful enough Microsoft and directly competing with the rising Google is definitely a great move.

Because Google's Android system plays free cards, but don't forget that the ancestor of free cards is Microsoft's Windows. It opens interfaces for all software, allowing all software to be made based on Windows, directly hitting Apple at the time, and achieving the great cause of a generation of overlords!

It’s just that Windows runs on a computer platform, and Android runs on a mobile phone.

But with the springboards such as htcg1 and surface, Windows' ambition to develop on mobile phones will definitely expand.

Both are free systems, and they both have to grab customers in the free field and share the number of customers with each other. This is a great thing for Xiao Qi and the appstore alliance! (To be continued...)
