"Boss Chen, Google's offer is 3 billion USD."
"Brin, we can't accept 3 billion USD."
"Boss Chen, I believe you know Google's sincerity. 3 billion USD is the highest price among all the companies that have approached your company. Also, we can leave 5% of the shares for your founding team. If Boss Chen still thinks this price is too low, then we can only say sorry. "
Google once again made an offer to youtobe.
The price was the same as Chen Yu's guess, 3 billion USD.
"Brin, what do you think?"
"Youtobe is considering it."
"Still considering?"
"Yes, Paige. Don't worry, I think they are interested."
There were two founders of Google.
One was called Brin, and the other was called Paige.
Yes, Paige as in Paige.
Google had become the world's largest search engine company and had entered dozens of countries around the world.
However, although Google's business was progressing well, it was not without challenges.
The challenges in the search engine industry had never stopped.
For example, Yahoo.
Yahoo withdrew its cooperation with Google and launched its own search engine.
Microsoft also entered the search business.
Some companies that had not entered the search engine industry might enter it in the future.
For example, WeChat.
"Have you made an offer on WeChat?"
Paige was not sure if she was too sensitive about WeChat, so she asked again.
"No."
Brin shook his head. "There is no news on the market for now. I guess they are not interested in the video business."
"Not necessarily. Be careful."
As soon as Paige finished speaking, news came out at noon.
Chen Yu, the founder of Huanyu Technologies, went to youtobe and made an offer of 3.3 billion USD.
This news made Paige and Brin extremely nervous.
"This guy finally made an offer."
Brin said with hatred.
Google had dealt with Huanyu Technologies before.
Chen Yu also poached the president of Google's China division.
Although Chen Yu's search engine did not steal Google's business, Google had always been wary of Chen Yu.
Especially after the popularity of Chen Yu's WeChat website in the US, they became more and more worried.
This was also the reason why Google was so anxious about YouTube.
"What should we do?"
"What can we do? We can only raise the price."
Brin clenched his teeth and contacted Chen Shijun again. He offered 3.4 billion USD.
In response, Chen Yu made a bid of 3.5 billion USD.
Then, Google offered 3.6 billion USD, and Chen Yu raised the price to 3.9 billion USD.
Google gritted its teeth at the speed at which the price was increasing.
"F * ck, this guy must be raising the price. He must be."
Paige cursed.
How could he raise the price like that?
To be honest, with Youtobe's current size, it was definitely not worth 3.9 billion USD.
In fact, 3 billion USD was an overestimation.
However, Chen Yu had directly increased the price to 3.9 billion USD.
Lenovo knew that Chen Yu had cheated a bunch of companies a few times, and both of them felt that Chen Yu was raising the price.
However, even if Chen Yu was seen through, the two of them were helpless.
Chen Yu always raised the price at the right time.
If Google gave up, they were really worried that Chen Yu would acquire Youtobe.
WeChat website definitely had the ability to acquire Youtobe.
Also, WeChat website had made a lot of money before, and they had plenty of ammunition.
"Brin, tell Chen Shijun that 4 billion USD is our bottom price."
Paige gritted his teeth and said, "If Chen Yu raises the price again, we will give up."
In the end.
Chen Shijun knew when to stop, and the 4 billion USD deal ended perfectly.
When the two companies signed the transfer agreement, Chen Yu received 300 million USD in benefits.
Together with the 100 million USD that Huanyu Gateway prepared, that would be 400 million USD, which was about 3 billion RMB.
3 billion RMB was enough to support the video business.
…
"Sigh, it's a pity that we didn't acquire Youtobe."
Chen Yu said to the shareholders of WeChat website.
After knowing that Chen Yu had come to America, the investors who had invested in WeChat website all contacted Chen Yu.
Although Chen Yu did not care about WeChat website's business, everyone knew that Chen Yu was the one behind it.
"Chen, it's not a pity. Google spent 4 billion USD to acquire Youtobe. This will cause some problems for their cash flow."
"Yes. Moreover, we can also create a video website like Youtobe."
"I heard that Yahoo is going to launch their video business soon. Chen, we should act quickly too."
The investors were quite satisfied with Chen Yu.
Although Chen Yu was often criticized for borrowing money from WeChat website, he had always had good taste.
"Mr. Dace, you're right. Huanyu Technologies is already preparing for the video business."
"Oh, Chen, you've already planned. Impressive … "
The CEO of Demonroot Chase's investment department gave Chen Yu a thumbs up.
However, after speaking, Dace was confused. "Chen, why is it Huanyu Technologies?"
"What? Is there something wrong?"
"Isn't it WeChat website?"
"Isn't WeChat also owned by Huanyu Technologies?"
"I …"
Dace was speechless at Chen Yu's words.
"Chen, I think we can put the business under WeChat website. It'll be more advantageous."
"No, that won't do."
Chen Yu shook his head. "I'm afraid that if we succeed, the relevant departments here will say that I'm monopolizing."
"Monopolizing? No, no, no. That's impossible. The relevant departments won't do that. "
Dace kept waving his hand.
They had the ability to do that.
"It's not impossible. It's not like it hasn't happened before. Back then, didn't the relevant departments say that Microsoft was monopolizing and almost split Microsoft into two?"
"That was in the past. Don't worry. With us here, it's impossible."
"Mr. Dace, I think we should avoid this kind of trouble."
Chen Yu still insisted on his opinion.
Of course, it wasn't a matter of persistence.
It was a matter of profit.
Although WeChat website was controlled by Chen Yu, he had already invested a lot of stocks into it to make money.
In other words, WeChat website didn't completely belong to Chen Yu.
If he put the new video business on WeChat website, even if he expanded the business, some other investors would also get a share of the profits. However, if he were to start a new company, then all the profits would belong to Chen Yu himself, or to Huanyu Technology.
How could the top investors not know about this?
They understood as soon as Chen Yu spoke.
To appease the investors, Chen Yu said, "Mr. Dace, this is actually a good idea. It looks good to put the video business on WeChat website, but it costs a lot of money. If we don't succeed, it won't be good to waste everyone's money. Why don't we let Huanyu Technologies launch the video business and see how it works? "
"What if you succeed in starting the video business?"
"That's easy. Mr. Dess, can't we just get another round of financing when the time comes? "
"I …"
"Mr. Dace, what's wrong? Don't worry. If we really succeed in starting the video business, I promise I'll inform you first. "
"…"
At this moment, Dace really wanted to strangle Chen Yu.
