Looking at the public opinion-led investigation report sent by the Secretariat, Wang Yaocheng's lips curled up into a smile;
Everything is under control and things are moving in a good direction. The hapless BBC reporter David Michaud has now become the new focus of public opinion, riddled with sprays like a rat crossing the street.
The power of the people cannot be underestimated!
As the consortium's business has grown to its current scale, Wang Yaocheng has personally participated in 90 or not 100 press conferences. It has already been refined into steel, mixed into the spirit of a veteran, and his tone of voice is impeccable.
at a press conference
Trying to find out what news breaks out of Wang Yaocheng's mouth is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree, taking the wrong path and eventually falling victim to it. David Michaud is a clear example of this.
All right!
Wang Yaocheng doesn't care what the fate of the hapless BBC journalist David Michaud is. That's none of his business.
The only thing he cares about is control of Google.
After the Series A round of financing, Larry Page and Sergey Brin together only owned 7% of Google's shares.
As co-founders and main operators of Google, don’t think that the two of them have only 7% of the say. In fact, they should add a zero at the end to be the real situation.
Even as a major shareholder with absolute control, Wang Yaocheng cannot easily veto the other party's decision-making. He plays the role of a qualified financial investor.
Think back to Alibaba in history;
Yahoo! and SoftBank Group are both major shareholders, and their status in the industry is well-established. However, the real say is still in the hands of Ma Yun’s team, which even used methods that violated business rules to remove major shareholders from Ant Financial.
Kicked out.
This situation is not uncommon;
It has also happened in Little Penguin Company, and it has also happened in American Internet high-tech companies. The main operators and founding shareholders of the company only own a small part of the equity, but have much greater rights. This is by no means explained by the dual ownership structure.
Wang Yaocheng felt like he was choking on this situation. Of course he couldn't tolerate it. He must have absolute authority over Google and put the company under his absolute control.
From another perspective;
It’s about picking the fruits of victory.
The cruel fact is that there is no tenderness in business. Larry Page and Sergey Brin have become the main obstacles and will of course be kicked away.
Wang Yaocheng plans to run Google with all his heart and regard it as a flagship company in the high-tech field of Silicon Valley and a core company of the Royal Family Fund. He really will not sell it this time.
Think back to the beginning
Wang Yaocheng also planned to operate Yahoo as a core enterprise, but as time passed, he suddenly discovered;
The decline of Yahoo is inevitable, and the problems that are inherent in the company cannot be saved. Google's web crawler program has great inherent advantages in the field of search, and the convenience and accuracy of search are unmatched by the other party.
History has proven Google's strong competitiveness, Yahoo's various gestures of resistance are useless, and genius managers cannot save it.
How serious are you if you want to go against the trend of history?
That being the case
Wang Yaocheng took advantage of the situation and went downhill, so let's not be too tough. Losing weight when going up is the right way.
As expected, the inertia of history cannot be blocked.
Microsoft showed its greed for the Yahoo website at the right time and became an unlucky successor, and also attracted several of the world's top pharmaceutical companies to join.
Anyway, if you don’t need money, just spend it as much as you want.
Layout so far
Now we can start to eliminate the sympathizers of Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Google. In fact, it doesn’t take much effort. These dull-headed engineering men will soon spread their complaints and say weird things in the company.
.
As long as you record carefully, no one can escape.
Now that public opinion is at the forefront, if you find an opportunity to reveal it to the media, it will detonate public opinion. Then, if you dig deeper, you can cut off its wings.
What to do with the vacant positions?
So easy to handle.
After selling Yahoo last year, Yahoo's new CEO Yang Zhiyuan has been on a meteoric rise. He has continuously made large-scale acquisitions of high-tech Internet companies in Silicon Valley, and now there are more than 100.
The company's scale has expanded accordingly, with the number of employees exceeding 50,000, and numerous institutions established in Europe, South America, Canada, and Southeast Asia to implement global operations.
Originally, Yahoo's Chinese elites made up a slight majority, but after its rapid expansion, they became an excluded minority, and their lives were not easy.
According to Wang Yaocheng's unparalleled authoritative position in Silicon Valley, as long as he waved his hand, not too many people would defect to him.
Moreover, as familiar insiders, these Chinese elites are outstanding talents who have been tested by Yahoo's development and can help Google quickly get on the right track.
Wang Yaocheng sat down at his desk, typing with deft fingers, and the beginning of a blockbuster article appeared on the screen.
Let's talk about Yahoo's crazy expansion...it is tantamount to self-destruction.
The title of the article is very eye-catching, and the words are also not shocking. This is the last of three articles published by Wang Yaocheng, criticizing Microsoft for allowing Yahoo to expand wildly.
This scenario;
It's a bit like winning money in a mahjong game and belittling the person who lost the money because of their poor playing skills and bad quality, and they are completely useless.
Almost similar to the above scenario, Wang Yaocheng did this to take precautions, showing that he was extremely unfavorable about Yahoo's current business ideas and development strategies, and that he was a bit desperate.
Microsoft is also unlucky. In the past, it acquired Netscape at a large price, and then when it declined, it was ridiculed by Wang Yaocheng. It was used as a negative teaching material to talk about business methods. The journey was also extremely difficult.
Now it's here again.
Yahoo has become a new target. After Wang Yaocheng's article was published, it caused serious thinking and scrutiny by observers on Wall Street and Silicon Valley. Sure enough, they discovered the irrational elements in Yahoo's development.
There are many sensible observers who have made comments on television, newspapers and other public opinion media, supporting the views of Silicon Valley godfather Wang Yaocheng, lashing out at Yahoo, and saying whatever they say is unpleasant.
This is actually of no use and will actually spoil the vegetables.
Steve Ballmer, the headstrong CEO of Microsoft, and Yang Zhiyuan, a slut who has been suppressed, will only intensify their efforts to prove themselves, thus embarking on a path of no return.
Countless historical facts prove that trying to change a person's character is pure delusion.
Wang Yaocheng knows Steve Ballmer too well;
Ya is a mallet.
She and Yang Zhiyuan form a perfect couple, so don’t get too excited when the two of you are having fun together!
The years are quiet
The bright sunshine shines on the desk, and the surroundings are quiet. Only the sound of typing on the computer keyboard can be heard continuously.
Wang Yaocheng looked focused and wrote the article with flying fingers...
The intercom on the desk suddenly rang, and the clear voice of the female secretary came;
"Chairman, here is a call from Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft Corporation from Silicon Valley. Do you want to answer it?"
"Uh... okay, turn around."
"Understood."
There was a "beep...beep..." sound from the intercom, followed by Bill Gates' somewhat unhappy tone;
"Boss King, I think we are all good friends, but the article you published in the Wall Street Journal made us passive and became the object of ridicule by everyone. I want to hear what you have to say."
"Is this an indictment, Bill?"
"Damn it! Don't look at me carelessly. I just want to know if we are still close partners?"
Wang Yaocheng's busy hands left the keyboard, lying comfortably on the leather sofa, and answered Bill Gates' question;
"Of course."
"Then why did you publish these articles slandering Microsoft and Yahoo? According to your heavyweight status in Silicon Valley, these remarks put heavy selling pressure on the stock prices of the two companies. As a company operator, I must be responsible to shareholders.
, Steve Ballmer has gone crazy, he was going to take his shotgun and run to Los Angeles to fight you, but I stopped him, and now I want to hear what you say."
Wang Yaocheng chuckled; "Bill, we don't need to play these tricks when we talk. Didn't you see any danger in my article? Or is your sense of smell degraded? Tell me that's not true!"
"As friends for more than ten years, we can communicate privately!"
"Bill, is it really useful?"
There was silence on the phone. After a dozen seconds of hesitation, Bill Gates said in a solemn tone;
"This is just a difference in business strategy. We can sit down and have a good talk. Everything is moving forward through exploration. I think Yang Zhiyuan's courage is worthy of encouragement."
Damn it, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep.
As an extremely smart man, doesn’t Bill Gates know the meaning of Wang Yaocheng’s words?
Look around and talk to him, if you say Zhang San, he mentioned Li Si to you, and if Li Si talks about Wang Er's pockmark, it's all nonsense.
Wang Yaocheng didn't care about this and said straightforwardly;
"As a person with public conscience, I feel obligated to remind Yahoo's investors of potential risks. This is my moral bottom line. I don't care whether others adopt it, but I must tell the public the facts. Yahoo is on the right track.
It's a dangerous road, just like Netscape, and I can't just watch it come to an end."
"Oh, my God! Can you not mention the damn Netscape?" Bill Gates sounded a little crazy.
Wang Yaocheng elaborated on his views;
"OK, then you can't stop me from doing the right thing, Bill. This is not a simple matter of economic strategy. You look at the problem too simply. I have clearly stated my attitude in my previous article;
No one can beat Yahoo except himself.
Everything that is happening now is confirming my prediction. I feel terrible about it all and have no confidence in Microsoft's poor personnel appointments and strategic decisions.
As a responsible friend, I feel obliged to wake you up and re-examine the corporate development strategy.
I told you a long time ago that Steve Ballmer is a fool, he will mess everything up, and Yang Zhiyuan is a guy who cannot be reused. His talent is just writing code, and being a team leader is superfluous.
This bastard can't even clean up his own home.
If I didn't care about you, this would be none of my business."
Speechless for a while
After a long sigh, Bill Gates said in a heavy tone;
"Boss King, I know you have good intentions, but if you do what you say, there will be a 12-magnitude earthquake in Microsoft and Yahoo.com, and everything will become out of control. It's really terrible. I don't want things to change."
It’s irreversible, can you please give me some time?”
Silent for a while
Wang Yaocheng lit a cigar for himself and said calmly;
"I'm currently writing my third article about Yahoo! Now that you called me, this article will be published in a month. I'm sorry, Bill, but I have to say what's on my mind."
"Thank you! I know you are a responsible friend, but we face too many difficulties and it takes time to solve them."
"I understand."
"So...your loyal friend Bill, I look forward to meeting you again."
"goodbye."
The phone was hung up with a beep, and a smile appeared on Wang Yaocheng's lips, looking particularly evil...
