I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

In other words, you may not have a psychological reserve price yet. Lu Qi gave Zuckerberg a step.

Yes, yes. Zuckerberg nodded sharply.

Of course not, his psychological base price is 30 billion US dollars.

Buy MiaoW for 30 billion US dollars, and this trip to China will be recorded in the history books of Facebook.

Let's not talk about future things like MiaoW's acquisition, Facebook's territory will be more complete.

The skyrocketing market value after the acquisition of MiaoW alone can bring his personal wealth to a higher level.

Fifteen billion dollars is impossible, right? Lu Qi asked.

Dr. Qilu, you are also an expert, you know better than me whether MiaoW is worth 150 billion, right? Zuckerberg smiled more bitterly than Lu Qi.

Feelings Today, the two held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and smiled wryly at each other.

But you have to admit its future, Lu Qi said in a very objective analysis: You still have to face the impact of MiaoW's listing on Facebook, which may increase investors' concerns about Facebook's future.

This is not a word of mouth.

MiaoW can now threaten Facebook and snatch away a large number of their young users.

It's on the market and doesn't suck you dry.

In fact, this is what Facebook is most worried about.

With so many Internet companies emerging every year, why does Zuckerberg never forget MiaoW?

And not because it's a deadly knife.

heartbroken.

If it is not dealt with, every time MiaoW increases in strength, Facebook will weaken a little in strength.

This will last and then will disappear.

Well, it can also be said that MiaoW is Zuckerberg's confidant.

Four... Zuckerberg hadn't said anything yet, but when he saw Lu Qi's contemptuous eyes, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, 50 billion dollars, no more.

Lu Qi didn't immediately laugh at the other party, nor did he say how inappropriate the price was.

In fact, $50 billion is really a high price.

Kleist's expectation is actually 45 billion US dollars, and 40 billion is acceptable if it is not enough.

This is already a premium.

But this is not enough.

Lu Qi not only has to win this battle, but also has to play his own style.

He needs to establish his position in the investment department and even the entire cat factory in one fell swoop.

Mark, have you studied the impact of the acquisition of MiaoW on Facebook's stock price? Lu Qi asked.

Of course. Zuckerberg did not shy away from this.

In fact, they research all day long.

Usually, there are listed companies with rumors of mergers and acquisitions in the market, and their stock prices will be affected by the rumors, and most of them will show an upward trend.

There are two reasons for this situation.

One is that investors have higher expectations for the company's benefits after mergers and acquisitions.

The second is that the stock price rose due to the hype surrounding the M\u0026A event by some investors.

For example, Julong Management announced in May 2014 that it would acquire mobile game developer Aiglas, and its stock price rose from 13 yuan to around 24 yuan. If it weren’t for the hype around the merger and acquisition event in the market, I’m afraid the price increase would not have been so large.

There is also Twitter, which talks about being acquired by Google every three days, and its stock price has risen by 4% at every turn, and even rose by 12% again.

In 2012, it was reported that Samsung Electronics intends to acquire Nokia. Affected by this news, Nokia's stock price rose by as much as 11% on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in Finland.

Judging from the short-term stock market feedback, the 50 billion acquisition of MiaoW is enough to make Facebook a lot of money.

In many cases, what M\u0026A looks at is not the market value of the thing itself, but the significance of the thing to the acquirer.

Actually, all of you have earned 80 billion yuan. Lu Qi followed up.

80 billion! Although not as shocking as 150 billion, Zuckerberg, who was still shocked, didn't want it.

He can't afford 80 billion.

Facebook's balance sheet is undoubtedly extremely complete. Last quarter, the company earned $11 billion from operating activities, for a net increase in cash of $4.6 billion in the quarter.

Combined with cash and marketable securities, the company has $60 billion in liquidity.

But he still can't spend 80 billion to buy MiaoW, and it's impossible for him to spend all the money to buy this MiaoW.

It's easy for the company to fail if you play like this.

80 billion US dollars, the acquisition risk here is very high. If the feedback from the stock market is not as expected, Facebook is very likely to live on chaff in the next two or three years.

Mark, you are not as good as an old man like me. If ten years ago, would you have hesitated like this? Lu Qi smiled.

The old man was very bad.

He led Zuckerberg's thinking to the beautiful vision after the acquisition of MiaoW.

And I can't stop thinking about it.

Can not go back.

Even if Zuckerberg forced himself to examine the value of MiaoW, this idea will continue to affect him.

Moreover, he also used the aggressive method.

T\u0026T bought Time Warner last year for $85.4 billion...

That includes Time Warner's net debt, and the total transaction value is about 108.7 billion US dollars, and MiaoW is a proper high-quality asset.

Zuckerberg opened his mouth, and he could cite more examples, such as Bayer's acquisition of Monsanto for US$56 billion, Qualcomm's acquisition of NXP Semiconductors for US$47 billion, and SoftBank Group's acquisition of ARM for US$32 billion.

But none of this really makes sense.

All he needs to do is to convince himself, to convince himself to decide a price that can be finalized.

Whatever happened to Dr. Qilu, Dr. Qilu wasn't even sure if MiaoW would sell it.

Moreover, that sentence deeply hurt Zuckerberg's heart ten years ago.

55 billion, this is the highest price I can give, and it is also my psychological reserve price. If Dr. Qilu can ensure that the deal is concluded within this range, I will distribute the saved part to Five thousandths of a doctor. Zuckerberg has completely torn off the disguise.

This is clearly not an academic discussion.

I'm interested in money... Lu Qi shook his head.

One percent, no more. Zuckerberg followed up with an increase, not allowing Dr. Qilu to have a chance to think about it, and he must be stunned all at once.

Okay, I'll give it a try, but I have to remind you, Mark, 55 billion is really not very attractive to Kleist. If I were you, I would use 80 billion as the bottom line, Seek to reach a deal at around 65 billion. Lu Qi is completely on Zuckerberg's side.

However, what is the bottom line for this thing?

Dr. Qilu, what do you think should be the way to negotiate a successful deal? Although 65 billion is still very high, exceeding expectations, 55 billion has already been admitted with gritted teeth, 650 million A billion doesn't sound like an astronomical number anymore.

First of all, Lu Qi coughed and said, I have to convince them that they are willing to sell.

It's hard work, Dr. Qilu. Zuckerberg is very grateful.

Actually, you shouldn't have come today. Lu Qi smiled wryly.

But I'm here. Zuckerberg also smiled wryly.

If I had known you were here, I would have contacted you secretly, why would I run this trip with a hot face and a cold ass.

They may have already guessed your reason for coming, which has brought a lot of variables to my persuasion work, Lu Qi complained, and then said sincerely: But I will do my best, I think I may be too Need a friend.

We will be best friends. Zuckerberg is also very affectionate.
