Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 263 Is Threatening You

Seeing that Milner was still stubbornly resisting, Wang Ye was not polite.

He leaned back on the back of the chair and said with a smile: "Perhaps Mr. Milner doesn't know yet, we have acquired Yandex Company wholly!"

Milner froze for a moment, he really didn't know about this.

In fact, it is not surprising that Wang Ye started to acquire Yandex very quickly, and it only took one day to reach an agreement.

This happened yesterday, and the news hasn't come out yet, so Milner naturally doesn't know.

"Acquired Yandex? When did this happen? I don't know." Milner blurted out.

"Just yesterday, I reached an agreement with Mr. Voloz that the Polar Bear Investment Company will pay for the privatization and delisting of Yandex." Wang Ye replied with a smile.

Milner frowned, and he was thinking about how much this matter would affect today's negotiations!
Although he is tough on the surface, Milner is not really short of money, and he doesn't want to "scare away" Wang Ye.

Doing business, isn't it just that one party raises the price on the spot, and the other party pays back the money on the spot.

It's all negotiable...

"So... why did Mr. Mikhail buy our MAIL.RU company? After all, you all have Yandex." He asked tentatively.

"Because I want to merge your two companies and become the real Russian-speaking Internet hegemony!" Wang Ye said bluntly.

He didn't bother to go around in circles, so he directly stated his intentions.

Milner grinned, with an expression of surprise or sarcasm on his face...

After thinking for a while, he said: "Well..., a very good idea. I don't know how much you spent to acquire Yandex, but our company is not the same as Yandex. They have started to lay off a large number of employees. Obviously, the financial support is not enough. live. But our MAIL.RU is different, our company still has a lot of money in its account, enough to last for more than a year.”

It has to be said that Milner is indeed better at company management than Voloz, and his financial situation is healthier.

At least until now, the company has not yet started mass layoffs.

However, it is said that internal salary cuts have already begun...

…………

Seeing that the bald head still refused to let go, Wang Ye became impatient.

He is absolutely busy now, so how can he "waste" so much time and energy on such a small acquisition.

To be honest, he didn't really care whether MAIL.RU could be bought or not.

Don't forget, it's only 2001!
The Internet has not been developed for a long time, and the Internet bubble has burst, and there are still a lot of high-quality companies waiting for him to acquire.

A MAIL.RU, whether you want it or not!

It can even be said that with his financial support, Yandex will be able to crush MAIL.RU in a short time.

At that time, it was Milner who begged him to buy it...

"The last quotation, based on the current market value, is a premium of 15.00 times, and the wholly-owned acquisition of MAIL.RU company. However, after the acquisition, I will take out 5000% of the company's shares to establish an equity incentive pool. Existing executives And the key employees have the opportunity to receive the company's equity incentives. And, I will add no less than [-] million US dollars in capital injection to help the company continue to grow. Oh, yes, the two companies will merge."

Wang Ye said bluntly.

Milner's face was uncertain, and it took a long time before he said a word, "What if we don't accept it?"

"That's very simple. For a year at most, MAIL.RU will no longer exist, because Yandex will do everything you do, and it will be better than you. I will use what was originally intended for your company All the money will go to Yandex to compete with you.”

Wang Ye's words were simply a threat!

But he is indeed qualified to say this, because he has money in his hand!

Think about it, on the one hand, funds are tight, and employees have cut their salaries in order to barely maintain the company's operations.

On the other side, they can get hundreds of millions of dollars or even more funds, and their own strength is very strong, and they also hold the "big killer" of search engines!
If Yandex really wants to make up its mind to become a portal website, it can really wrestle with MAIL.RU...

Under internal and external difficulties, MAIL.RU probably won't last a year!
"You... are you threatening me?" Milner became a little annoyed.

"You can understand it that way." Wang Ye replied lightly.

Milner nearly choked to death.

But this is the gap in strength, even if Wang Ye threatens him, he has no ability to fight back.

"Can you give me some time, I need to discuss it with other members of the company's board of directors." Milner softened his attitude and said with a wry smile.

"You only have three days! I will hear the final answer within three days." Wang Ye said bluntly.

With a bitter face on his face, Milner nodded helplessly.

………………

The "big stick" has been swung out, and I will give a "sweet date" to eat next.

Wang Ye changed the subject and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Mr. Milner is very good at managing the company, especially in terms of finance. Your company and Yandex were listed at the same time, and the funds raised are similar, but the funds over there The chain has been broken, but you can still persist for a year without layoffs, which is very rare."

Speaking of this, Milner smiled a little.

He said reservedly: "This can be regarded as my major. In fact, I don't know much about Internet technology, and I am better at financial management and investment."

Since the company is going to be acquired, relevant information on the company's executives must have been collected, so Wang Ye still has some understanding of Milner's background.

This bald head is really amazing.

He graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Moscow State University with a Ph.D., and went to the famous Wharton Business School to study for an MBA!

After graduating, I worked in a big investment bank for a while, and after returning to China, I joined a bank as a vice president.

Coincidentally, that bank was owned by Khovchenko...

However, Milner had resigned from the bank two years ago, and took his savings accumulated over the years to become a shareholder of MAIL.RU!

With his funds, excellent work background, and ability, Milner was elected as CEO by the board of directors as soon as he entered MAIL.RU, and began to control this Internet company.

It was also under his operation that the company was successfully listed, and the scenery was endless for a while!

Speaking of which, this is also a legend.

Unfortunately, now he has met Wang Ye...

………………

"Mr. Milner should know about our polar bear investment company." Wang Ye said with a smile.

Milner nodded, "Of course I know! A few days ago, Mr. Mikhail made a big purchase of Siberia Petroleum Company. It is really beautiful!"

He said so, but in fact Milner was still a little bit disapproving.

Judging from his experience, that kind of acquisition is all about various "collusion" behind the scenes and the competition of various forces.

Definitely not a purely commercial act!
