At the same time, in David Steer's villa, Wu Yifa was having a final negotiation with Lora Noel with a few economic experts.
"Madam Noel, Madam Sawyer, I can't promise you to keep thirty percent of Steer Business Network's shares. If that happens, I won't be able to hold the controlling stake," Wu Yifa said with a frown.
Kelsey Sawyer said, "Mr. Wu, we can support all your business activities a hundred percent. It's no different from holding the controlling stake. Even if you want to merge Steer Business Network and Yun Yi Shopping Network into one, we'll gladly accept it as long as you can guarantee that we have a reasonable amount of shares. "
Wu Yifa said, "Madam Sawyer, I'm not the only one standing behind me. There are a few companies that work with Yun Yi Shopping Network. Forty-two percent of the shares won't be enough to satisfy their demands. It has to be at least fifty-two percent. On this point, I hope the two of you can understand my difficulties. Don't worry, I can buy these shares at a price thirty percent higher than the current market value. "
Kelsey Sawyer thought about it and said, "Lora, what do you think about selling fifty-two percent and keeping twenty percent?"
Lora Noel said, "Whatever you say. I don't know much about this."
Kelsey Sawyer nodded and said, "Alright, we agree to it. However, the price is too low. Due to Mr. Steer's sudden passing, the company's market value has plummeted. The price is almost at its lowest point. Thirty percent is only slightly higher than the previous price. We're not asking for too much. Raise the premium to fifty percent. "
Wu Yifa smiled bitterly. "Madam Sawyer, forty percent at most. That's our bottom line."
"Forty-five percent. That's our bottom line too," Kelsey Sawyer said firmly.
Lora Noel chimed in, "Yes, forty-five percent. We can sign the contract if you agree to it. "
Wu Yifa considered it and nodded. "Alright, forty-five percent it is. There's one more thing, the Twitter social networking site that I mentioned earlier. Would you be willing to sell it? "
Although Todd's social networking site was used by hundreds of millions of people, it didn't have a stable source of income. At most, it would put up some advertisements on the Internet, but it didn't dare to put up too many advertisements to avoid the dissatisfaction of users. Therefore, its market value wasn't high, only 1.2 billion USD.
Lora Noel was a loyal user of Twitter, so she knew the situation very well. She had also discussed it with Kelsey before, so she said, "Mr. Wu, I can sell it to you, but the price is not cheap. It's at least 1.5 billion US dollars."
Wu Yifa was shocked. "72% of Twitter's shares sold for 1.5 billion USD. Ms. Noel, don't you think this is too much? "
Lora Noel said indifferently, "If you think it's too much, you don't have to buy it. To be honest, I think Twitter is a good social networking site, and I have no intention of selling it. Anyway, I have enough money now. "
This kind of situation was the scariest when it came to business. If one of the two parties was hot, then it would be difficult to deal with.
Wu Yifa said, "Wait for me, I need to make a call."
Kelsey Sawyer said, "It seems that Mr. Wu isn't the one who wants Twitter."
Wu Yifa smiled and didn't say anything. He walked out of the living room and dialed Xiao Yunhai's number.
In order not to disturb Xiao Yunhai's rest, Zhao Wanqing took away his phone and set it to vibrate mode.
Seeing that it was Wu Yifa's number, Zhao Wanqing glanced at Xiao Yunhai, who was still sleeping, and went to the balcony to pick it up.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, Yunhai is sleeping. What can I do for you?" Zhao Wanqing asked.
Wu Yifa was stunned. He said, "What time is it? He's still sleeping. Forget it, it's the same if I tell you. The market value of Todd's social networking site is only 1.2 billion USD. Ms. Noel has 72% of the shares, but she wants 15 USD. Not a cent less. "
Zhao Wanqing didn't even think about it. She said, "Buy."
If it was before, Zhao Wanqing would definitely ask Xiao Yunhai. However, after seeing Xiao Yunhai's proposal, Zhao Wanqing already knew how important Twitter was to Yunqing Network Company. Therefore, Zhao Wanqing didn't need to ask anymore. She made the decision immediately.
Wu Yifa confirmed again. "1.5 billion USD. You really want to buy it? Do you want to ask Old Xiao? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Mr. Wu, Twitter is very important to Yunhai. He'll buy it even if it's 3 billion, let alone 1.5 billion. Please help us get it as soon as possible. "
Wu Yifa said, "Okay, I understand."
Back in the living room, Wu Yifa sat down again and said, "1.5 billion USD is not a problem. Can we sign the contract now? "
Noel glanced at Sawyer. Kelsey Sawyer nodded slightly.
"Okay, Mr. Wu. I wish us a happy cooperation."
Wu Yifa shook hands with Noel and said, "Happy cooperation."
After signing, Wu Yifa left with the contract and went straight to Xiao Yunhai's hotel.
According to the contract, Wu Yifa had to pay Sawyer 620 billion USD. As General Motors had 50% of the shares in Europe and America, they were responsible for 150 billion USD. Wu Yifa would take care of the remaining 470 billion USD. And it had to be completed within three days. Wu Yifa didn't have that much money. He could only ask Xiao Yunhai for help.
Wu Yifa naturally knew about Xiao Yunhai's 1.5 billion USD loan from Citibank.
Knock, knock, knock.
Wu Yifa knocked on Xiao Yunhai's door.
Xiao Yunhai had just woken up when he heard the knocking. He opened the door and said, "Old Wu, is everything done?"
Wu Yifa walked into the room and smiled. "It's all done. As long as you pay the money, there won't be any problems. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I know. You're here to ask me for money, right?"
Wu Yifa chuckled and said, "That's right. Old Xiao, that Twitter social network of yours is worth 1.5 billion USD, and that shopping website of yours is worth 470 billion USD. When do you think you can get the money? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Now will do. But we're brothers. This amount is too big. I can't give it to you so casually. You should trust me, right? "
Wu Yifa rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright then. How about this, you give me the Website's shares first. After that, whether it's a merger or a separate operation, it's all up to you. I won't interfere. When you give me the money, I'll return the shares to you. Of course, the profits during this period will be distributed according to the shares. I won't ask you for interest. What do you think? "
Wu Yifa thought for a while and said, "Alright. But you need to write down a receipt. "
Xiao Yunhai said angrily, "Damn, you keep saying that you trust me, but you still want me to write down a receipt. How preposterous."
Wu Yifa chuckled and said, "It's like you said. This deal is too big. It's better to be clear. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, I'll write it for you now. Honey, do you have a pen and paper? "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Of course."
After writing down a receipt and handing it to Wu Yifa, Xiao Yunhai said, "Is this good?"
Wu Yifa flicked it and said, "Okay. In the afternoon, transfer the money to the other party's account. I'll go and do the share transfer agreement. After that, I'll do the share transfer agreement with you. Then everything will be settled. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and asked, "Old Wu, how are you going to deal with the Website? If you continue to split it, it won't be any different from before. What's the point of buying it? If it's a merger, there will be a lot of problems. "
Wu Yifa's expression was a little serious and said, "I'm also worried. I need to think about what to do next with the annexation of the Website. I need to discuss it with the economics team. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Alright, that's your problem. I'll get Christy to go with you in the afternoon. Old Wu, Twitter is very important to me. My internet company depends on it. "
Wu Yifa was stunned and asked, "You want to set up an internet company?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's all over the internet now. Don't you know?"
Wu Yifa was puzzled and asked, "What should I know?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Because Yunhai recruited more than 9,600 engineers and technicians from Steyr Networks into the new company we're about to set up, Miss Bessie gave Yunhai a good scolding in front of hundreds of media outlets this morning."
The news that Xiao Yunhai had hollowed out Steyr Networks had spread to the outside world this morning.
The three people in charge had brought more than 9,600 outstanding engineers to join Xiao Yunhai's Yunqing Network Company, which had not yet been listed for business. Once such a big news was released, it immediately caused an uproar on Wall Street.
Vanessa Bessie had been interviewed by the reporters just a moment ago and had given Xiao Yunhai a harsh reprimand.
"I'm very sad, very sad. I admire and like Xiao so much, but I didn't expect that he would be the one who hurt me the most. While I was dealing with external affairs, he secretly poached more than 9,600 employees from Steyr Networks. This kind of behavior can be described as despicable. This is the first time in the history of Wall Street that such a vicious poaching incident has happened. It's really shameless. "
"Although we've encountered a major problem, we are confident that we can restore Steyr Networks to normal operations. Here, we will open our doors and hire engineers, programmers, and other technicians with the best conditions. At the same time, I want to announce an important matter. That is, Steyr Networks will merge with the Bessie family's Worriless Network Company. I believe that in the future, it will become the strongest internet company in the world. "
In less than half an hour, Bessie's interview had gone viral on the internet.
Although she had remedied the situation in time, she still could not stop Steyr Networks's share price from plummeting.
