Just like that, the negotiation suddenly became silent again.

And the icy atmosphere gave him a burning and extremely uncomfortable feeling in his chest.

It seemed like a long time before Rothschild saw Meg Whitman on the opposite side and opened her mouth.

"Mr. Rothschild, the negotiations have been going on for a month and a half. I believe we have enough understanding of your sincerity. And we also understand the existence of some of the problems you just mentioned, and we extremely recognize this existence."

Meg Whitman smiled slightly, but her frown and slightly embarrassed expression gave Rothschild a bad premonition.

"It's just, Mr. Rothschild." Meg Whitman said sarcastically, "After these two weeks of negotiations, we feel more and more that the plan you just mentioned is feasible and is conducive to dual development.

.However, in terms of price, we received an offer this morning that we cannot ignore."

Meg Whitman looked apologetic. This seemingly "humble" look coupled with her words made Rothschild sneer in his heart.

After 45 days of negotiations, eBay suddenly received an offer that could not be ignored!

But the problem is that the team he sent out to track Meg Whitman didn't have any news about her contact with anyone else.

He knew that this must be the reason why Meg Whitman was dissatisfied with the price and asked for a price increase.

But this also shows that the other party does not refuse to sell Skype as a whole.

The previous month and a half of pulling was just the other party’s early price increase strategy!

snort…

After all, this old woman still has some tricks up her sleeve.

It's just that she doesn't know it at all, and her method seems a bit low-level.

Thinking of this, Rothschild glanced at Ling Shengnan beside him, with a hint of pride on his lips.

But he found that Ling Shengnan's gaze seemed to be filled with some worry that he had never seen before.

Seeing the meaning in her eyes, Rothschild nodded slightly and smiled easily.

Pretending to be too much, he told Meg Whitman, "Ms. Whitman, I understand that you are not satisfied with Skype's offer, but the value of Skype to the owner is like this..."

"No, sir."

Whitman interrupted Rothschild's pride. She said calmly, "During the lunch break, a distinguished guest came to our eBay company. However, he didn't seem to know that I was not in the company. So, he just came

On the way here, he sent me a message."

Raising the iPhone Zero in her hand, Meg Whitman said apologetically, “Because the board of directors also attaches great importance to this gentleman, so his purchase price is higher than yours, so we were informed by the board of directors before we did.

Now, this offer has been submitted to the senior board of directors. And the reason why I am sitting here is to give the board of directors a satisfactory answer."

!!!

After all calculations, Rothschild never expected that a sudden offer would be presented to eBay's board of directors.

Such an incident left him too late to react. Finally, he naturally turned his attention to Winston beside him.

Before they exchanged anything in detail, the two heard a voice from the other side.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rothschild. Because of the intervention of the board of directors, we have to consider the price issue. Although today's topic can follow your idea just now, the price is something we need to renegotiate."

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, the two people interpreted that the other party was not satisfied with the US$5.25 billion acquisition price.

But apart from price, is there really such a competitor?

If it exists, who will that competitor be?

Reading similar questions from Winston's eyes, Rothschild turned his head again.

Well, before he spoke, Meg Whitman spoke first:

"The buyer said that he is used to not wasting time. Therefore, if there are already competitors, if you are willing, he is willing to use a secret bidding method to decide the ownership of Skype at once."

!!!

Rothschild felt the tremor around him, and when he turned around, he saw Winston staring at him with wide eyes.

They all remember the details of what happened when MySpace was acquired, and the way they were able to acquire MySpace was through secret bidding.

The person who created that technique is the person who in a sense led them to where they are today.

But no matter what, they didn't expect it.

The opponent I once thought would never come, actually suddenly appears here?

While they were stunned, they didn't even notice.

Ling Shengnan, who was sitting on the other side, seemed to realize something.
Chapter completed!
