/*Suddenly discovered that this chapter number and the death of Google are quite appropriate.*/

Because of the huge topic raised by the office cloud, Ning Zimo chatted for a long time with Ren Zhengfei, Lei Jun and his father who stayed behind.

He seemed to be talking eloquently, but no one in the audience who saw what was happening felt that it was not real enough.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

After taking a look, Ning Zimo smiled at the others and said, "Lu Qi is here."

With everyone looking around, he easily answered the phone.

"I was chatting with some big guys on the mobile Internet about the future, and your call came in."

"Now I have led the team to Mountain View City," Lu Qi smiled, "I'm just waiting for your further instructions."

I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already 10:00 at night, which was exactly 10:00 am in California.

And on the wall clock that represented time, Lu Qi was about to face Google. At this moment, Ning Zimo was replaying the previous life in his mind.

In the previous life, Google's highest market value once reached a trillion dollars. At that time, Google occupied 90% of the search market, had a large number of products that were loved by users, and also occupied Android, an important platform for the mobile Internet.

But in this life, Google no longer has the products that were sought after by users in the previous life. The Bing system has defined a more powerful territory than Google in the previous life. If it continues to develop, it will no longer be an opponent that Google can match.

Next step,

"Take it." Ning Zimo said softly into the phone, "Brother Lu, if you win Google, it will be yours and Bing's first glory."

Lu Qi on the other end of the phone paused, and when he spoke again, he seemed not as relaxed as before.

"Then as you said, we will win Google within 10 billion US dollars!" Lu Qi said seriously.

The Cambrian at night is extremely quiet, and there are no longer any noises during the day.

When Lu Qi's voice came out through iPhone Zero, Ren Zhengfei, Lei Jun and Ning's father naturally heard it clearly.

10 billion,

Dollars!

This is the largest acquisition they have ever heard of for Emperor Penguins!

"Zimo... Is Google that valuable? Also, do Emperor Penguins have that much money?"

As soon as he hung up the phone, Ning's father frowned at the side. Although Ren Zhengfei and Lei Jun didn't speak, they still had doubts in their eyes.

Ning Zimo smiled, "Although Google has been suppressed by Bing in all aspects, its online advertising share of less than 10% can still bring Google more than 1 billion US dollars in net revenue every year. According to Internet companies 10

Calculated at a price-to-earnings ratio of 20 times, it is normal for Google to have a maximum valuation of 20 billion today.

It's just that Google is now in a stage of sharp decline and cannot be valued at the highest possible price. As Bing continues to squeeze its development space, it is reasonable to give it a valuation of 10 times earnings."

After a pause, Ning Zimo added another question, "As for funds, Bing's total profit in 2007 reached 4 billion US dollars. This money was originally planned to be invested in the development of smartphone chips, but it was only the development of Antarctic chips.

Unexpectedly, I succeeded in developing the film for the eighth time, so I didn’t need the money.

It was originally planned to invest funds in the acquisition of MySpace, but after the acquisition was aborted, the funds had nowhere to go. If Bing's profit of 2 billion in the first half of this year is added, Bing alone has as much as 6.5 billion US dollars in liquidity.

Use.

In addition, Blizzard and WeGame brought 500 million U.S. dollars in revenue to Emperor Penguin last year, and the funds currently available to Brother Lu can be as much as 6.5 billion U.S. dollars. Besides, Bing’s acquisition of Google this time will not be used.

All the money.”

"How can Bing acquire Google without spending all the money?" Lei Jun wondered at the side, "What are you doing?"

Although Lei Jun is the CEO of Kingsoft Group, he has been in the investment world for quite some time.

Ning Zimo said that there is no problem in calculating the valuation of Google, which has an annual profit of 1 billion US dollars, at a price-earnings ratio of 10 times during the period of decline. It is just that Bing, the 10 billion acquisition fund, did not spend any money, which always sounds weird.

"It's not necessary," Ning Zimo nodded and smiled enigmatically, "because the United States is a strange country. Companies from other countries, especially third-economy countries other than Europe and the United States, want to grow their companies in its own country.

, you have to divide the cake a little bit to avoid certain risks.

Therefore, I organized a batch of US$10 billion in outside capital in advance for this acquisition. This money will be exchanged for 10% of Bing’s shares after the acquisition of Google is completed.”

Ren Zhengfei and Ning's father were puzzled when they heard this, but Lei Jun's eyes lit up at this moment.

“Is Bing going to go public next?”

"Yes," Ning Zimo nodded, "The next period of time is when the good show will take place."

***+***

Larry Page looked at the person in front of him. According to him, his name was Lucky.

Larry Page took a good look at him and saw that he was just an ordinary person, and he was the kind of person who would disappear if he was thrown into a crowd. But it was such a person who led them to Google.

Competitor Bing forced Google into a desperate situation.

And now, he is sitting in the Google conference room with a normal expression.

What he was talking about here was the acquisition of Google.

Google for sale?

Larry Page found it funny. This kind of thing happened once 10 years ago.

At that time, I and my partner Sergey almost sold Google for US$500,000.

But since that time, Google has entered a stage of rapid development, and in 2000 its revenue exceeded US$100 million.

Originally, everything was developing according to the established rhythm, but more than ten years have passed in a flash. Now I am sitting here and continuing to think about selling Google?

These questions were going over and over in Larry Page's mind. After a long time, he continued to raise his head and looked across and said:

"In the past four years, since Bing entered the US market, our Google sales have been shrinking. Mr. Lu is here today. Can I ask you a question first?"

Larry Page started with a question, which made Lucci very curious, "Why don't Mr. Page ask first, I wonder if I can answer?"

"What did Google do wrong to seize the search engine market with your foundation, giving you an opportunity?" Larry Page stared at Lu Qi and asked, "You know,

When we stood out from many competitors, we defeated the famous Yahoo."

Larry Page suddenly laughed, "Is it because we suppressed Yahoo that Yahoo helped you when you first entered the U.S. market? But now when Yahoo sees that you dominate the U.S. search market, it doesn't know

How would you feel?"

"I can't answer the first question for you, but the latter question is relatively easy." Lu Qi replied with a smile, "There are no absolute enemies in the shopping mall. I didn't understand this before, but take me into Bing."

But that person knows this very well.”

"The person who brought you?" Larry Page wondered, "Mr. Lu is the founder of Bing, but were you brought into Bing?"

"Yes," Lu Qi nodded.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the moment when Ning Zimo took him to meet Mr. Richard Bing 6 years ago. It was a summer afternoon, and a legendary old man lived in an old house.

The life experience of that legendary old man is precisely the origin of Bing’s founding.

But no matter what, that summer afternoon was a close encounter with a legend, and it was indeed started by the great master far away in China.

“This story is a long one,” Lu Qi shook his head. “At this critical moment, let’s talk about Bing’s acquisition of Google.”

There was a glint in Lu Qi's eyes, which Larry Page could clearly see at that moment. But Larry Page, who didn't know the details, could only follow Lu Qi's words and return to the negotiating table.

The current scene is a fact that Google cannot avoid.

Bing came to the door and wanted to acquire Google.

"Mr. Lu, I think you also know that this is not the only way we at Google can choose." Larry Page gathered his emotions and spoke again, "Even if our market share is declining today, we at Google will not

Is it still Bing’s main competitor?”

Larry Page's words were filled with persistence, but Lu Qi was unmoved after hearing it.

"Mr. Page, I believe you have come to know by now that it is no longer a battle between our Bing search and Google search." Lu Qi sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and spoke in an unhurried tone.

"Search engines have a history of more than 10 years since their birth. Ten years ago, perhaps we were competing in the field of search engines. But today, more than 10 years later, the competition between search engines has expanded from the search engines themselves to the Internet.

in all aspects. And precisely, our Bing search has many footholds on the Internet.

Whether it is Twitter, YouTube, Facebook on social platforms, ACS, LinkedIn and office cloud in the business field, or WeGame in the gaming and entertainment field, as well as other user bases - Gmail. Today's Bing has already

’s territory has been completely occupied, leaving little room for Google to survive...”

"Yes, I admit that our Google is not as good as Bing in terms of the layout of related industries. But you also said that there are no absolute enemies in the market. If we, Google, continue to seek to go public and seek to pursue a large amount of funds after the listing, tell you

If we cooperate with these resources, then it will be us, Google, and not you, Bing, who will receive feedback from these resources.”

Moreover, even if our Google is in decline and only has the option of selling, we still have many buyers to choose from. Whether it is Microsoft, which has reintroduced its search engine, or Yahoo, which is now the second largest in the United States, we at Google only need to pursue them

Will the acquisition intention soon mean there will be more options?"

Larry Page's face was rosy, and Lu Qi immediately noticed the struggle in his heart.

Regarding his nonsense, Lu Qi just shook his head gently, "Actually, I also made it very clear that Google's current business has been limited to the search field. Although, the business volume may vary with the overall market.

It grows with growth, but it is difficult for Google to find room to survive if it wants to continue to develop..."

"Mr. Lu, please answer my question directly." Larry Page shouted loudly, "You must know that we at Google still have the ability to raise funds from Wall Street, and we can also seek help from capital parties."

"No, you didn't." Lu Qi calmly shook his head. "Four people in our Bing creation team own 30% of Bing's shares, and the remaining 70% is in the hands of another person. On the one hand, that person is the general manager of Bing.

I brought in key people from Bing, and on the other hand, he is also the founder of the Bing ecosystem.”

Bing’s largest share holder is actually the founder of the Bing ecosystem!

Not only Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Hans, Ralph and other core Google employees were suddenly frightened! They suddenly thought of a possibility, but that possibility was too incredible.

Because what was before them might be a giant sky-swallowing beast.

After a while, Larry Page came back to his senses.

But he still asked reluctantly, "Mr. Lu, I don't understand what you mean."

"It's easy to understand," Lu Qi said calmly. "Companies such as LinkedIn, ACS, YouTube, Facebook, Security Guard, Office Cloud, and Gmail are all part of the Bing ecosystem. And the person who created it with various creative ideas
