"So you just gave in and let Microsoft take advantage?"
Leaning on Xiao Qi, Xiao Meiji held Bu'er in her arms and said lazily.
Bu'er, who is already ten months old, was only fed from breast milk last month. On the one hand, Tang Mingxiang dotes on her, and on the other hand, Xiao Meiji has too much milk, which has always been enough to supply her daughter with food.
.
It was the persuasion of the Japanese aunts that the child should be able to slowly switch to other staple foods at this time. Although breast milk is good, the consumption of cloth will be increasing in the future, and it will definitely not be satisfied forever.
So Tang Mingxiang had no choice but to let Bu'er eat some fruit and vegetable puree, porridge, rice soup and the like.
However, it seems that the little girl is not used to it yet. From time to time, she wants to rub her mother's chest. She also has to lean her little head on it when sleeping to feel comfortable.
Holding his wife, and his wife holding their daughter in her arms, such a beautiful feeling made Xiao Qi feel lazy all over, and he wished that time could last so long.
"Well, how can you always be tough in life? Give in when you need to give in, and admit defeat when you need to." Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Besides, we didn't lose money. Look at the news in the newspapers these two days.
But they are all ironic that Microsoft has taken too much advantage of itself and is willing to offer such a high price for a company that is destined to be investigated and tortured! They all say that we make more money!"
"This is not a question of money, okay?" Tang Mingxiang rolled her eyes at her husband, "We were forced to sell Skype. Those bastards in Europe are really too much! I'm even worried that the lecherous girls will be punished by them.
It’s being suppressed!”
"That's not possible." Xiao Qi shook his head, "The nature is different. The pornographic girl involves thousands of small and medium-sized businesses in the country. If you deal with the pornographic girl, you will destroy the jobs of those small and medium-sized businesses. In this financial world
In times of crisis, if they don't even have food to eat, then there will be big problems. Moreover, there are many people who will benefit, and they are all people of their own country, which makes them less likely to move.
The disadvantage of skype is that it can span the distance of time and space as a company, with almost no help from the country where it is located. It can set up a communication company by itself and start making money. Such a low cost will of course create low charges, thus
Suppressing their local communications industry. Besides, the communications industry is not about making money. Even if Skype is introduced, the public's reaction will not be too big. This is an important reason why those giants want to overhaul Skype."
Tang Mingxiang pressed her finger lightly, "What about Microsoft? Can they withstand the pressure?"
"Of course!" Xiao Qidao. "Microsoft is uniquely endowed with software. It has a lot of cooperation with the U.S. military industry and national defense, and Microsoft is also a symbol of the U.S. electronic software industry. Naturally, they will get the full support of the United States. The European Union
The investigation there is, at best, an agreement with Microsoft to allow them to monitor the contents of these communications, but I dare not actually cut off Microsoft’s Skype service.”
"They are really lucky!" Tang Mingxiang laughed.
"If we want our luck to be as good as theirs, we naturally have to start from ourselves and work hard." Xiao Qi sighed. "South America belongs to the United States, Africa belongs to Europe, and now the only thing that China can strive for is
, that is, those countries in Southeast Asia. But in these countries, the situation is very complicated, and the road ahead is still very long!"
"You're not in politics. Dad doesn't know how to hold relevant positions, so don't worry. Leave it to the big guys in the government!" Tang Mingxiang said without much concern.
Of course Tang Mingxiang is not interested when it comes to the overall layout of the country. All she cares about is her husband, daughter and her own career.
In fact, after Fairy Company announced an agreement with Microsoft to acquire Skype for US$11 billion, most people except Xiao Qi's wives felt that Xiao Qi had made another beautiful business.
Because Skype has become a hot potato now, if Fairy Company is in your hands, it will definitely depreciate more and more.
And being able to sell it at such a high price is of course a good thing for Fairy Company.
After all, Skype has nothing to do with Fairy Company’s main business.
What many people don’t know is that the two major companies that Xiao Qi controls Skype, Mingxiang Holdings and Qicai Investment, both belong to the international offshore financial zone and are not registered in the United States at all. In addition, Microsoft has also used some tax avoidance policies.
, the international accounting firm also helped Xiao Qi avoid taxes, so the tax Xiao Qi paid to the US government for selling Skype was not the legendary 50%, but only about 9%.
So Xiao Qi actually got 10 billion US dollars in cash, which was considered a bargain.
The couple was making love to each other here, and suddenly the cell phone rang.
Xiao Qi stood up helplessly and picked up the phone. After checking who it was, he answered the call, "Hello, I'm Xiao Qi."
"Qi Shao, let me tell you some good news!" Li Bot said in a loud voice over there, "Our Uber has successfully won the special vehicle project for the London Olympics!"
"Really?" Xiao Qi said in a surprised tone.
"Haha, can I still lie to you? After several months of our hard work, this matter has finally been settled. The London Olympic Games Organizing Committee just called me, and the official documents will be signed tomorrow!
"Libert said, "In this way, our Uber can finally go out of the United States and go to Europe!"
Europe's population is not large, only about 1 billion, which is not as large as China and India.
But most of these people are wealthy people, and there are also several very large urban agglomerations with tens of millions of residents living in them.
Such as London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, etc.
What Uber likes most when doing business is densely populated metropolises. Such a city cluster can carry a lot of business and allow Uber to develop better.
However, the opportunity to enter these megacities is still not easy.
They are all the same as New York, with license plates, taxi companies, etc., all having huge economic ties. If an online taxi company from the United States comes in to seize the market and profits, it will be even more intolerable to them than Skype!
So Libot thought of a way to take advantage of the London Olympics to let London Olympics-related departments and sports teams use Uber for free, and then rely on this good reputation to completely open up the London market.
As long as he has a firm foothold in London, Libot has nothing to fear.
Even New York has been captured, why are you still afraid of London?
That's why after receiving the reply from the London Olympic Committee, he was so happy that he quickly called Xiao Qi to tell him the good news.
As everyone knows, Xiao Qi knew this result a long time ago, because Uber in the previous life also used the same trick to win the free car project of the Olympic Games and began to flourish in the European continent.
Of course, part of the reason is because Uber's public relations are very good, but the biggest reason is that the London Olympic Committee is really too poor. Having such a scapegoat to take on the car service has saved them tens of millions of pounds.
, they are eager to do so, why do they care about attracting wolves into the house?
"The next step is for us to start a trial operation in London, at least before the Olympics. There will be no problem. It will all depend on our performance during this period." Libot said seriously.
Many people feel that only China attaches so much importance to the Olympic Games, which makes them very nervous.
In fact, this is not the case. Every country and city that hosts the Olympic Games attaches the same importance. This is also related to the face of the country and city. If something goes wrong, it will definitely bring shame to the organizer.
Therefore, as long as you enter in the name of an Olympic sponsor, Uber will have unimpeded access in London. Even if there is any trouble, the London Olympic Organizing Committee will help solve it. After all, suppressing sponsors like this does not make sense anywhere.
It chills the sponsors.
Xiao Qi nodded when he heard this, "If you have any difficulties, you can go to Branson from the Virgin Group. He is quite capable in the UK."
"Okay!" Libot also knew something in his heart. Branson is the richest man in the UK and has strong connections. The more support Uber can get in the UK, the more stable it will be.
It’s not that Uber doesn’t have other public relations measures, but with the strong support of the boss, they will have more ways to deal with them and avoid being at a loss when encountering difficulties during the implementation process.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi smiled.
Although you, the European Union, can make me so embarrassed on Skype, I have many ways to occupy your market.
Although Uber has great legal controversies and troubles, its emergence is closely related to people's daily lives, and it is an alleviation of urban congestion.
So even though many people are against Uber, there are also many people who support Uber.
As long as Xiao Qi can control his pursuit of profits and use a large amount of profits to support the construction of public transportation facilities like the United States, then even in the big cities in the EU, he will not encounter as many problems as Uber encountered in his previous life.
difficulty.
At that time, Uber will gradually grow up and become a new network success story, which will be just around the corner.
It's just a pity that many of Uber's shares will be sold to others, and their power will be used to resist the counterattack of taxi interest groups.
Otherwise, Xiao Qi alone owns this very large Internet company worth more than 100 billion US dollars, which is definitely something that will make people envious! (To be continued.)
