Back to 1995

Chapter 279
In the conversation between Song Yang and Sun Zhengyi just now, although they didn't say much, there is one thing, that is, neither side wants to tear their faces apart, that is, they will not turn their faces today, and Sun Zhengyi has confirmed that he wants to give up some Japanese The equity of the Yahoo brand is gone, just to see how much meat is cut!
After the negotiation started, Masahiro Inoue was the first to speak. He mentioned the difference between Yahoo! Japan and Yahoo America, and threatened, "Yahoo Japan is a brand new brand. Softbank and the board of directors of Yahoo have reached an agreement. Of course, Mr. Bruno has Yahoo’s shareholding in Japan, but that part of the shareholding...is in the hands of Yahoo in Silicon Valley!”

Softbank just wanted to push [-], and directly dumped the blame on the Yahoo headquarters. He believed that the Japanese Benz Yahoo brand belonged to Song Yang's shareholding, and he should go to Coorg and Yang Zhiyuan to ask for it, not Softbank.

This method is enough to deal with ordinary investors. Softbank and America Yahoo headquarters are arguing with each other, which is enough to make people uncomfortable.

But it's useless to deal with hooligans, and hooligans are unreasonable, let him brag about the hype, hooligans don't pay attention to that.

Marcus, who came with Song Yang and was in charge of the money bag of the American Global Investment Fund, said to Masahiro Inoue indifferently at this time, "Bruno Song and Double-Click Company jointly hold 9% of the shares of Yahoo. Regardless of whether Yahoo is in America or Japan, as long as there is Yahoo, 9% of the shares belong to Mr. Bruno Song!"

This is unreasonable, don't listen to the nonsense about the amount of investment, brand share, licensing fees, etc. Anyway, there is only one way, as long as there is a place where Yahoo appears, one-tenth of the income will belong to Song Yang .

When Inoue Masahiro heard this, his face immediately turned red. This is clearly a bully. In the past, when facing Southeast Asian and Asian companies, Japan Benzene Company always walked sideways, but today it is the American company that is facing the hooligans. No matter how angry Masahiro Inoue and Softbank are, they dare not pat the table.

"It is impossible for the Japanese Benz Yahoo brand to give up 9% of the equity to Song You and Double Click!"

Sun Zhengyi finally spoke at this time, obviously willing to make concessions, but he didn't want to give up 9% of the shares of Japan Yahoo to Song Yang for nothing.

Hearing this, Song Yang couldn't help laughing, "Yahoo now, by the end of this year, the market value should exceed 30 billion or even 40 billion US dollars, the brand value of Yahoo is definitely more than 5000 million US dollars, I think America's Investors and the American Securities Commission should not allow Yahoo to infringe on investors' interests!"

When Yahoo was founded, it was valued at US$4000 million. Yahoo bought a 35% stake with its brand name. Softbank estimated Yahoo’s brand value at US$5000 million, which doesn’t seem too low, but If it wasn't for Yahoo, Softbank wanted to build another influential Internet brand like Yahoo, even if it burned out the more than 1 million dollars, it might not be able to do it!
The premise of the establishment of the Niben Yahoo brand is the global brand Yahoo, which is a necessary condition!

I'm afraid that the hooligans are educated. They know that Song Yang is deliberately criticizing, but Softbank can't say anything to refute it. Song Yang may really do such a thing.

If you go to Nasdaq and the American Securities Commission to file a class action lawsuit against Softbank, I am afraid that Softbank will really be overwhelmed by then, and with America's attitude towards Japan Benzene, there will probably be some people Take the opportunity to join and cut leeks together!

Sun Zhengyi also frowned. If Song Yang was really given 9% of Japan's Yahoo shares, then Softbank's shareholding would drop from 51% to 42%, although it still exceeded Yahoo's shareholding of Japan's 35% , but a little more unsafe.

On the Yahoo side, Coog must not dare to make any more concessions. Originally handing over the brand to Softbank, Yahoo only held 35% of the equity, which is a bit outrageous.

"These shares originally belonged to Double-click Company and Bruno Song. No one can deny this, even the headquarters of Yahoo America!" Marcus finally put pressure on him, determined to get the 9% of the shares.

Song Yang looked at Sun Zhengyi's tangled expression, "Actually, our trip to Asia this time is not just about dealing with the Japan-based Yahoo brand, but also looking for partners in Asia!"

As he said that, Song Yang glanced in Iger's direction, and Iger said knowingly, "America Telecom intends to develop the telecommunications broadband market in Japan and build the first broadband line in Japan, and America Telecom intends to cooperate with Softbank. "

"Double-Click is also interested in cooperating. Not only Double-Click, but eBay also intends to develop the e-commerce market in Japan. Japan has a very active second-hand trading market, which is very suitable for eBay's survival!"

Whitman also said that after Whitman, Irene followed closely, "Hotmail and ICQ can also cooperate with Softbank, and Softbank will act as an agent to enter the Japanese benzene market!"

Hearing these words suddenly, Son Masayoshi, Inoue Masahiro and other SoftBank employees were stunned. Today, they were thinking of wrangling, but unexpectedly, a big gift package suddenly fell from the sky.

Masahiro Inoue couldn't help but his heart beat wildly, and he looked in the direction of Masayoshi Son, his face full of emotion.

How did Softbank get rich, except that when he was in America, Masayoshi Son suddenly became a genius. After earning 200 million US dollars, after returning to Japan, he did what he could do. He established a software sales company and a computer magazine successively. Wait, but neither make money.

It wasn't until becoming Cisco's agent in Japan that Softbank began to soar into the sky. After cooperating with Cisco, it was successfully listed in just two years!
With Cisco’s experience, it’s no wonder that Softbank wants to copy and paste the original experience again, and wants to represent the Yahoo brand. This is why Softbank is so active this time, because it has really tasted the sweetness. Sun Zhengyi couldn't say it, and a new listed company was going to be added in his hands.

But now, Song Yang is throwing an olive branch at Softbank. American Telecom, Double-Click, ICQ, eBay, and Feita, and other industries in the hands of Song Yang, now have to cooperate with Softbank to let Softbank do these companies in the industry. The agency right of Benzene!

The big gift package from the sky was quite sudden. He was slapped with a brick head-on, but it turned out to be a gold brick. Masahiro Inoue said, if you get a brick like this, give him a few more bricks!

Sun Zhengyi was a little surprised, he was slapped, and suddenly gave him a sweet date, he was a little confused about Song Yang's routine.

But these proposals really moved Masayoshi Son. Why did he want to act as an agent for Cisco and Yahoo? It was because he was making money. After decades of suzerain status, Japan has a high degree of recognition of the American brand.

If he becomes the agent of American Telecom, ICQ, eBay, Fortinet, Hotmail, etc. in Japan, Masayoshi Son feels that Softbank's stock price may go crazy, and it is not a dream to double his net worth!
But what Sun Zhengyi couldn't figure out was why Song Yang gave Softbank the agency rights of these companies in Japan, instead of entering the Japan market by himself. Looking at Song Yang sitting aside, Sun Zhengyi always had some thoughts No way.

Facing Sun Zhengyi's gaze of surprise and expectation, Song Yang just smiled slightly.

Asia is a very special place. Whether it is domestic or Japanese companies, Asan or even Bangzi, they have a special attitude towards foreign companies.

As one of the top ten consumer markets in the world, Japan’s benzene is conservative and closed, and many companies have fallen here. No one knows what will happen if American Telecom and ICQ directly enter the Japan’s benzene market. .

Rather than doing this, it would be better to support an agent in Japan like Yeadex, which invested in Lao Maozi, to occupy the Japanese broadband market for American Telecom and the Japanese instant messaging industry for ICQ.

Now it seems that handing over the agency right to Softbank seems to be a bit of a disadvantage, but when Japan's telecommunications broadband, Internet advertising, e-commerce, instant messaging, anti-virus software and other markets are occupied, then it will be a lie. When leeks.

"President Masayoshi Son, American Telecom, ICQ, ebay and other companies can hand over the Japanese benzene agency rights to Softbank, but I hope to sign an exclusive agreement. After Softbank cooperates with American Telecom, it will no longer launch or represent other similar products!"

Song Yang wanted to cut off Softbank's future, let Softbank focus on being an agent, and Qian Softbank could get a piece of the pie, but don't think about anything else.

Sun Zhengyi, who has always been decisive in killing and attacking, began to hesitate at this time. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for Softbank to act as an agent.

"Of course, Softbank can also choose to refuse to cooperate, so I can't guarantee whether the Japanese Benz Yahoo brand can still be established. In addition..."

Song Yang used Sun Zhengyi's style of negotiating with Yahoo and other companies, "If Softbank refuses to cooperate with American Telecom and other companies, then we will choose Softbank's opponents in Japan to cooperate!"

This is Masayoshi Son's usual style. If he focuses on a company, he will use extremely aggressive and domineering methods to invest. The targets he chooses are generally companies that have begun to improve and are not even short of money, such as Yahoo, Companies such as uber and Didi were all forced to invest by Sun Zhengyi. If he refused to accept Softbank's investment, he would invest in the rivals of these companies and force him to accept Softbank's investment.

Today, however, Song Yang is just using his own way to deal with his own body. First, let Softbank get leeks, let them give up 9% of the shares of Niben Yahoo, and then sign an exclusive exclusive agency agreement , Let SoftBank become the agent operator of American Telecom, ICQ, ebay and other companies!
"make a deal!"

After a long time, at the urging of Masahiro Inoue and other Softbank executives, this "win-win" agency agreement was finally signed.

When the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed that day, Softbank’s stock price soared by nearly 18%, reaching the upper limit of the increase, and Yahoo’s stock price on Nasdaq also soared again!
