Chapter 723 Everyone feels outrageous

After everyone listened to Lu Yiming's "wild words", they all became short of breath.

"Oh my God, three and a half billion dollars?"

"Lu, are you serious?"

Musk was also very excited, but he had more things to consider and said worriedly: "Thirty-five billion US dollars is really good, but I'm worried that eBay will not accept such an offer."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Then we'll force them to accept it."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Musk not only did not feel disgusted, but became even more excited. Because he himself is a person who likes to PUA others, whether he is making payments now or making cars in the future. He always hopes that all people

Everyone does what he says, even if it's a customer who pays him. Although the customer is God, this guy's beliefs are not very religious at first glance.

"Forcing them to accept it? How to force them to accept it?"

Lu Yiming said calmly: "Go and spread the news that we at PayPal are also preparing to launch an e-commerce project, and like eBay, we are also doing C2C."

When Musk heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still: "You want to be an e-commerce company? Are you crazy?"

eBay and Amazon are one of the two kings in the e-commerce field in the beautiful country, and their status is unshakable. Now that Lu Yiming is running an e-commerce business, isn't that looking for death?

No matter how many trump cards there are, the beautiful country has its own national conditions.

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "What? Can't it be done?"

Musk shook his head like a rattle: "It can't be done."

Although Musk is a person who doesn't play by the rules, he just doesn't follow the rules, but it's not that he doesn't understand them.

Lu Yiming had no choice but to explain: "Don't worry, I'm not really going to do e-commerce, I'm just showing off accordingly. Of course, although the project is fake, it needs to be done as if it were real. After all, we don't want to do anything about e-commerce."

How can Bay's cheese stimulate their nerves?"

Musk instantly understood Lu Yiming's intention, suddenly realized, and laughed loudly: "Yes, compared to negotiation, the effect of intimidation is more immediate."

He asked enthusiastically: "What are we going to do?"

On the third day after Lu Yiming arrived in the beautiful country, reports about him suddenly appeared in the media. That handsome face once again occupied the front page, and the title of the article was even more aggressive - "The Harvester from the East, He

here we go again".

When it comes to Lu Yiming, it can be said that in the beautiful country's capital market, everyone knows it now. To be exaggerated, at least half of the people on Wall Street want to eat his flesh alive.

Now, as soon as this report came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the beautiful country's capital market. Many companies have even begun to become uneasy, fearing that they will become the next crop of leeks in the hands of Lu Yiming's sickle.

Since ancient times, the capital market has been cutting off investors, but in Lu Yiming's case, it is the old investors who are cutting off the capital market, which is simply terrifying.

This time, the company mentioned in the report is eBay.

While other companies breathed a sigh of relief, eBay felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.

At the eBay headquarters, Meg Whitman looked very ugly after receiving the news and asked her subordinates: "Who can tell me what is going on? Why did Lu Yiming come to the beautiful country? When did he come?"

His subordinates were also helpless and said: "Lu Yiming did not come on his private plane this time, but on an ordinary flight. We only learned about his arrival now."

Meg Whitman has a headache. Although eBay is at its peak now, the impact of the Internet winter has not completely passed.

It would be fine if someone else announced their entry into the e-commerce field. Meg Whitman doesn’t think eBay will lose with its current size, but now the one who wants to “rebel” is eBay’s biggest enemy—PayPal.

!

As an e-commerce company, the importance of payment software is self-evident, and it is definitely its destiny.

However, eBay's technical team is so bad that it's almost impossible to support Adou. Even with Meg Whitman's crazy attitude, he was still beaten to the ground by PayPal.

If not, why would she spend a lot of money to acquire PayPal?

Now, this small company, which has its own destiny, actually says that they also want to engage in e-commerce?

Meg Whitman found it a bit ridiculous, but she still felt a little uneasy.

After all, it was PayPal alone that was causing trouble, and she was still confident of suppressing it. After all, eBay was a giant compared to PayPal.

The worst thing is to use the power of capital to crush it.

However, the crux of the problem is that Lu Yiming is also a capital. He is too rich. If he is willing to spend money on PayPal's crazy plan, it is really possible for the rebellion to succeed.

Even if it is just to break the earth and seal the king, it will be an unbearable burden for eBay, and the stock price will definitely suffer a heavy drop as a result.

In fact, in the past few days since PayPal released the news, eBay's stock price has begun to fluctuate violently due to Lu Yiming's appearance.

As a last resort, Meg Whitman could only grit her teeth and tell her subordinates: "Make an appointment with Mr. Lu for me. I want to meet him."

At the PayPal headquarters, in order to create the illusion of building an e-commerce platform, Lu Yiming did it according to real standards.

Whether it's recruiting a technical team or starting to spend money to rent servers, it's all very similar.

Even some ordinary PayPal employees think that their company is really planning to enter the e-commerce field and grab eBay's cheese.

In the conference room, Lu Yiming was giving instructions to the new technical team, and the phone in his pocket rang.

"Sauri, let me take a call."

Lu Yiming answered the phone, said a few words, then hung up, and said to everyone: "That's it for today, everyone should leave."

Musk came over and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "The call from Meg Whitman made her unable to sit still. She asked me to meet and wanted to talk to me."

Musk suddenly raised his head and laughed: "This strategy of yours is indeed very effective."

The next day, Lu Yiming met Meg Whitman.

When Meg Whitman saw Lu Yiming, the expression on her face was quite complicated. She didn't have to be too polite and said straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, what do you want to do?"

Lu Yiming smiled and asked: "Beautiful lady, what do you think I want to do?"

Meg Whitman sneered: "Your purpose is actually not difficult to guess. It is just to force eBay to make concessions on price. Do you think you can deceive me with this trick?"

Obviously, as a working woman, Meg Whitman has a very high IQ to be able to become the CEO of eBay and take charge of such a large company with a national reputation.

But when it comes to business negotiations, to put it bluntly, it’s still a matter of war and deceit.

They bluff each other, test the bottom line, and then guess the other party's purpose and means. The game is to use the imaginary to make the real and the real to make the imaginary.

Lu Yiming smiled slightly, and faced the aggressive Meg Whitman, and said calmly: "PayPal is an excellent payment software, and it is also a sharp sword that can stab eBay. The problem is that this

Whose hand will the sword be in?"

Meg Whitman frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Lu Yiming looked at Meg Whitman leisurely and said slowly: "In 1998, Google wanted to sell it to Yahoo for one million US dollars, but Yahoo refused. In 2002, the previous year

At that time, Yahoo wanted to acquire Google for US$2 billion, but this time Google refused because they felt they were worth US$5 billion.”

"I believe that it is only a matter of time before Google surpasses Yahoo. Ms. Whitman, how much do you think PayPal is worth now? Is money more important, or eBay's market?"

Meg Whitman understood the implication of Lu Yiming's message, which was a threat to her not to make the same mistakes that Yahoo made.

A problem that could have been solved with one million dollars has now failed to be solved even after spending two billion dollars.

In comparison, how similar is the relationship between eBay and PayPal?

PayPal wants to be an e-commerce company, but this may be just an illusion.

But what if it’s true?

Can eBay afford to gamble?

Meg Whitman stood up and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. I think I need to discuss it with my colleagues."

Lu Yiming said: "Then I will wait for your good news."

Meg Whitman felt that she had seen through Lu Yiming's trump card, and she had indeed seen through Lu Yiming's trump card.

That's what Lu Yiming thought.

This is a bright card.

Back at eBay headquarters, Meg Whitman immediately held a board meeting.

Several eBay investors were all present.

"Boss, why did you call us here?"

"That's right. Is there something important that we can't discuss at the company's regular meeting tomorrow? We still have such a meeting this afternoon?"

Many people are complaining, and it's obvious that they don't like meetings.

After all, Beautiful Country is a free country, and meetings are not free at all.

Meg Whitman didn't even bother to say the opening remarks, and spoke directly: "I talked with Lu Yiming from Xia Guolai this morning. He said that he represented PayPal and expressed his willingness to sell PayPal to us."

Several investors couldn't help but be overjoyed after hearing this.

"Thank God, these nerds are finally willing to sell their paypal."

"Can they bear it no longer?"
