Chapter 1611 Don’t let outsiders see the joke

The two founders of "Google", Larry Page and Sergey Brin, met with Lin Feng at the "Google" headquarters. This was also Lin Feng's second trip to the "Google" headquarters.

"Hi, Larry, Sergey, long time no see! I thought we would never see each other sitting here in this life." Lin Feng sat in the office of the president of "Google" and laughed.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other with helpless expressions. Indeed, they once thought that they would never sit down with Lin Feng for an interview at the "Google" headquarters. Even if they met again, it would be "Google"

"The annexation of "Baidu Yahoo" will lead to the two parties sitting together for a discussion. But that was at the headquarters of "Baidu Yahoo", not at the headquarters of "Google". However, fate played a trick on people, and no one expected that the situation would develop like this, and it finally happened.

This is a situation now. A situation that makes Larry Page and Sergey Brin particularly embarrassed.

"Mr. Lin, I think we don't need to waste our words. This is the current financial statement of 'google', as well as the debts that are about to be repaid." Larry Page handed Lin this important financial statement of "google" directly.

wind.

Lin Feng grasped it. Although the report itself was very light, the meaning behind it was very important. Lin Feng did not expect that Larry Page would give him the financial statements of "Google" just after they met.

Look. Although I am also one of the shareholders of "google" (4% of the shares), my status as a shareholder has long been exposed by Larry Page and others as being outside the company's board of directors. What happened to "google"

If you want to know everything, you must go through external media or your own news channels. But now, "Google" has taken the initiative to come to your door.

Obviously, "Google" is in crisis.

Lin Feng turned over the financial statements. Judging from the income in the first half of this year, "Google"'s income was not bad. The half-year income was US$700 million, an increase of 150% over the same period last year. However, the debt that "Google" was about to repay was disappointing.

Lin Feng was shocked. In October, "Google" will repay a total of US$10.7 billion in debt.

10.7 billion U.S. dollars. Even "Baidu Yahoo" with a current market value of over 100 billion U.S. dollars has raised tens of billions of dollars in cash through the stock market, but it cannot come up with so much money at once. Now "Google" has to spend so much money

, isn’t this going to kill “google”? What’s more, can “google” get so much money?

Lin Feng frowned. Of the US$10.7 billion, US$350 million was spent on expanding the headquarters, and US$170 million was spent on improving the company's employee benefits. The rest was all used to acquire companies. Of course, there is no problem with acquisitions.

, these acquisitions are all necessary, and they are all acquisitions that can strengthen "Google", which is indeed a good thing in the long run. But the problem is that the current "Google" cannot acquire so many companies at once. This is

It's like trying to eat to become a fat man in one go, but in the end you end up being stuffed to death.

Lin Feng shook his head.

Radical, too radical! - Lin Feng glanced at Larry Page and Sergey Brin with a look of disappointment.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin couldn't laugh or cry. "Google" was so aggressive, but it wasn't forced on you. Without your pressure, "Google" wouldn't have been so aggressive, and in the end, someone took advantage of it.

After carefully reading these two statements, Lin Feng let out a long sigh. On the creditors under the long list of debts that were about to be paid by "Google", there was a name printed on them - "intel". According to these two documents, come up

Look, if "Google" cannot repay its debt in October, then "Google" will compensate "Intel" by issuing additional Class A shares (with *** rights).

If this is the case in the end, "Intel" will become the largest shareholder of "Google" and will hold the actual controlling stake of "Google". Currently, "Intel" owns 20% of the original shares and has acquired 4% in the market.

, coupled with the additional shares issued this time, it is expected to own about 45% of the shares. It can be said that it has controlled "Google".

Obviously, "Intel" controlling "Google" is definitely not what Larry Page and Sergey Brin want to see. Otherwise, they would not have pulled "Intel" to drive Lin Feng out. But who could have predicted

The tiger was driven out of the front door, but a wolf came in through the back door. And this "wolf" was very insidious, and actually wanted to swallow "Google" directly. Therefore, being forced to have no choice, Larry Page had no choice but to find Lin.

Feng. Because only Lin Feng has the money to support "google", and only Lin Feng can support "google".

Of course, there is a possibility of being swallowed by Lin Feng. However, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are confident that Lin Feng will be willing to fund "Google" and will not let "Google" be swallowed up by Lin Feng.

.

Because, they have a common enemy - "intel".

"What do you want to do with me?" Lin Feng had already vaguely guessed the intention of "Google". However, Lin Feng would not take the initiative to say this sentence. He had to say it himself by Larry Page or Sergey Brin.

.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other and nodded.

"Mr. Lin, it's very simple. In order to repay this debt, 'Google' will issue additional shares, and we hope that you can become the owner of these additional shares." Sergey Brin said.

When Lin Feng heard this, he did not speak, but just looked at Sergey Brin.

"This batch of additional shares will be issued for US$7 billion, accounting for approximately 17.5% of the shares of 'google'. In other words, if Mr. Lin purchases this batch of additional shares of 'google', he will hold a total of 21.5% of the shares of 'google', becoming

The second largest shareholder of 'Google'." Sergey Brin's tone revealed a sense of helplessness. If it weren't for "Intel", "Google" would not have issued additional shares so soon after it went public. "Issued additional shares too quickly"

" will only make the shares of "Google" held by Larry Page and Sergey Brin even thinner.

The two of them didn't want to do this, but they had to do it.

21.5% of the shares is quite good. But is it really 21.5%?

"Then are these additional shares Class A or Class B (without stock rights)?" Lin Feng asked coldly.

Sergey Brin sighed, knowing that he couldn't hide this from Lin Feng. But he didn't intend to hide it from Lin Feng.

"Class B stocks," Sergey Brin said.

Haha~~~, Lin Feng looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Segir, Class B stocks, do you think I care about Class B stocks? With just 17.5% of Class B stocks, can I invest US$7 billion to help 'Google' overcome this difficulty?" Lin Feng said sarcastically.

Sergey Brin frowned slightly.

"Mr. Lin, you should understand that once 'Google' is swallowed up by 'Intel', it will not only be the loss of Larry and I, but also you. Why is 'Intel' secretly planning to annex 'Google' this time? I

The ultimate goal is not us, but you!" Sergey Brin said.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Sergil, don't think how important it is to me that 'intel' swallows up 'google'. Even if 'intel' really swallows up 'google', so what? At worst, we will start a battle with 'intel'

"Intel" has "Google", I also have "Baidu Yahoo", and I also own "ati" and "nvidia", two major graphics card manufacturers, I am not afraid of competing with "Intel"!" Lin Feng said confidently.

Segil frowned. What Lin Feng said was a bit too tyrannical. Although Lin Feng owns "Baidu Yahoo", "ati" and "nvidia", there is no doubt about the power of "intel", especially "intel"

"We also have Microsoft as an ally, and once we acquire Google, it can be said that Intel's strength will be unparalleled."

"Mr. Lin, we won't say these hurtful words. In short, from a practical point of view, now we will both benefit from cooperation, and we will suffer from both. I don't think anyone among us wants to be taken over by the 'intel' fisherman.

After all, the war between us belongs to the search engine industry, and there is no need for an outsider like 'Intel' to intervene!" Larry Page said at this time.

Lin Feng nodded. Indeed, no matter how "Baidu Yahoo" and "Google" fight, it is an internal matter within the search engine industry. If "Intel" finally takes advantage of it and takes the lead, it will really be a big mess.

What a joke. I won’t be laughed to death by the outside world by then!

"But let me help 'Google', the strongest rival of 'Baidu and Yahoo', that's fine, but it requires benefits!" Lin Feng also didn't hide his desire. He couldn't do it in vain if he wanted to.

"Lin, this is it. This is an additional US$7 billion, half of which will be used as Class A shares and half as Class B shares. What do you think?" Larry Page said.

Lin Feng thought for a while and nodded. If this is the case, he owns 12.75% of Class A stocks and 8.75% of Class B stocks. Although he does not have an absolute advantage within 'Google', it is enough.

This is much better than Lin Feng’s previous expectation. But it’s still not enough!
