"Three dollars?" The reporters exclaimed that it was only $36 that year, which was about five times less.
"Wrong is $3!" Chen Boda corrected his judgment and deliberately raised his tone. "Few startups can afford tens of thousands of dollars, which will turn away several young people with dreams! Ant search will make more young people dream that the platform will be piloted at Berkeley University next month! "
Need 3 yuan? My goodness! I can’t imagine it!
However, all journalists in the science and technology sector know that the difficulty of a startup is not for people, but the initial investment in the computer room has always been a big head, and most of the 150 thousand dollars spent in the United States is to pay for the operation and maintenance of the computer room. In China, you can make employees multi-functional, but the United States can sue you to bankruptcy in minutes. This is not a joke
Not every idea will have someone who wants you to invest and pay for it, and who can afford it?
This is the simplest function realization in cloud computing, that is, Yun Chenbo is certainly not stupid enough to tell the whole story, and there are still many technical problems that have not been realized before the deployment of the current data center.
Cloud computing represents the future business, which can not produce immediate results in one year or two, or the concept owner.
But whoever comes out first will take the lead, just like an arms race. If you don’t follow, you will be behind the times, but you will force your opponent to follow up the inadequate preparation, and the competitor will be dragged down.
On the one hand, the pilot project of Berkeley University is good, and on the other hand, there are more students here than the civilian Stanford Gao Fushuai, which is so attractive.
Chen Bo’s impassioned speech was like a speech. His voice just fell and he ran away across the bike while the reporters were still reminiscing.
But a stone stirs up a thousand waves, so much information always needs them to digest one by one.
The original two acquisitions are big news, but the vague concept of "cloud" is even more exciting. It is not difficult to do business well, but it is enough to go down in history to break through the system and find a new business model. This is also what created the modern Internet development model. Yang Zhiyuan’s Jianghu status is higher, and a Yahoo is enough for him to blow for a generation.
Chen Bo ran away after pretending to be forced, but it was hard for these reporters to get rid of two wheels no matter how fast they were.
And his client is going to be depressed. He is talking about charity to reporters. Suddenly, many strange faces come over to find out why, and he can’t help cursing the perpetrators in his heart, but now he has to keep his richest demeanor and smile.
"The amount of acquisition? Yes … ……Flive will be a good supplement and of great strategic significance. "
"Negotiation? There has been a breakthrough in the talks. "
"offer? Microsoft has sufficient cash flow, and the whole world knows that we are sincere and determined to win! "
"The other party is not satisfied? No, no, it’s not some minor differences. The price issue will never be a constraint on Microsoft. There are many details to be communicated at the negotiating table. You must know that a big case like this can’t be closed as soon as the vegetable market. "
Bill Gates is tired of dealing with all kinds of difficulties from reporters. If he cursed in his heart just now, he would strangle him severely.
Chapter I Buying and selling can’t be righteous.
The concept of "cloud" appeared all over the Sun Valley Summit immediately. Compared with other circles, it still treated this new thing calmly and smelled different flavors. Google President Larry Page flew back to Mountain View that night.
If we only rely on Chen Bo’s one-sided words, this project will not be so eye-catching and intriguing. In an interview with reporters, Amazon President Bezos deepened this concept and further developed the "elastic cloud computing" aws, the English abbreviation of Amazon Network.
It is a comprehensive Internet platform integrating distributed computing, parallel computing, negative balance of efficiency computing, network, virtualization and redundancy, and it is said that it will initially form a body to more enterprises in.
Who is Bezos? That’s the internet bubble that can successfully get rid of the internet, smart and sophisticated, and the business world is second to none.
Although Chen Bo gave a simple concept, Bezos gave more technical details, which proves that both sides of this technology are secretly wrestling with who will go further, which is hard to say, but it seems more like a fishing trip, at least catching a big fish.
Yahoo President Semel and al President Keith are different attitudes? Cloud computing? What the hell! We’re lucky to have our own computer room, but what are we doing? ! !
After Chen Bo released the news, he hid from reporters. Even at the closing ceremony, he didn’t show up in public. The more he said, the more likely he was to make mistakes. There is no harm in keeping a little mystery.
The concept of "cloud" has suddenly become a hot word in the media. Although it is a small-scale oral fermentation for the time being, it is not difficult to imagine that it will have a greater impact if it is put on the market in the future.
"How much do you want to let go?" Gates, a hidden cafe somewhere in the holiday villa, pressed his heart and asked the figurines
"36.5 billion, as I said before," Chen Bo’s mouth tilted to reveal a smirk. All manners in public were performances for others to see, and they wanted to strangle each other as much as possible.
"If you still have this attitude, it won’t be interesting." Gates’ face immediately showed a shadow, and the richest man also wanted to face it, okay?
"Then I didn’t see your sincerity either." Chen Bo said lightly, it depends on your bottom line if you don’t let go.
"500 million dollars in cash!" Bill Gates almost gritted his teeth and quoted the price.
"Let me see that flive has made a profit for half a year and added new groups every month. Well, this is not a decimal." Chen Bo counted it with his fingers and then smiled. "Tell you what, Bill, I’ll take a big step back. Can you make a small step to accommodate each other?"
"Well," Bill Gates’s face softened a little. This is like talking about business. You can’t always say "this is of course the best."
"How about 11.1 billion? How lucky this number is, Microsoft is the number one in the I world and you are the richest man. This transaction will also be a record. "
"Why don’t you grab it?"
"That 1.1 billion?"
"Hum"
"1.1 billion can’t be less, I will turn my face."
You turned against me? Shit! It’s my turn to turn against each other, okay? Bill Gates almost spit out two or two blood. Who the fuck is this to learn negotiation skills for?
"In that case, let’s leave it at that," Bill Gates said with a sad face.
"Okay, no problem." Chen Bo shrugged his shoulders. "If the deal doesn’t work, I’ll let the negotiating team withdraw when I have a chance to trade again."
"You …" Gates was speechless with anger. This is an attitude. Who really wants to end the negotiation? Can’t young people be patient? It’s hard to ride a tiger, which is the best description for him at present. It’s like buying clothes. It’s still too expensive to cut the price. When you turn around, the boss will definitely call you back.
This is the established routine. This is the first time I’ve seen it so seriously, but the arrow string can’t sit still and leave angrily.
"Hey Depp, let ebay contact skype news out, add some oil and vinegar, the more expensive the better. Anyway, create a sign that you are going to sign a contract. Don’t give Microsoft a souvenir." Chen Bo Gates immediately took out his mobile phone to inform another battlefield after he left.
Ebay contact is still tentative and not too deep, and both parties are in no hurry to speed up the progress.
But it’s not that Microsoft secretly linked to skype while negotiating with Ant Search Exhibition. No one will know, but how can such news fly out of Chen Bo’s palm?
Now it’s a critical moment. Gates may not have his thoughts, or he will block this road and force him to the negotiating table again. Chen Bo’s bottom line has just released 100 million dollars to float.
Will the company mind a little more if it can quote 500 million dollars? It’s like spending 50 thousand on a suite. Who cares about spending 50 thousand on a parking space? Compared with the cash flow of 5.6 billion, this is really small money.
As soon as the sun Valley Summit ended, Chen Bo and Hoffman got a lot of harvest. Before returning to Silicon Valley, Gosling had already made an appointment for him to join the acquisition link in the middle of Sun’s founder McNealy Ant Search, which would be the last straw to crush the camel.
It is never easy to buy at this level, and it is not the purchase price to measure the whole transaction.
Because no company is owned by a sole proprietorship, there are various constraints of the shareholders’ meeting and the management of the board of directors, and at the same time, it is necessary to consider the development plan and employee placement after the company is sold. The shareholders have changed, but does the company management structure remain? How to deal with it is the focus of negotiations.
For example, after the ant search, Chen Bo talked about it, which is an alternative and wonderful company.
