Chapter 416 A board seat
Google deliberately convened the board of directors, not to discuss whether to continue to acquire YouTube, and discuss how to quickly and effectively take off YouTube, because the acquisition of YouTube itself is Google's plan!
In this regard, at the board of directors, Google's CEO Eric Schmidt set a tone on the "acquisition of YouTube".
Now that the Internet has begun to transition, from simple text to pictures, videos ...,
As the world's largest video website in the world, YouTube is the object we must take. The acquisition of YouTube itself is Google's next important strategy. This is not only our Google expanded advertising revenue, but also our opportunity to enter the content industry, so you cannot acquire YouTube that you cannot tolerate YouTube.
Lost! "
After Schmidt said, a number of shareholders nodded for a while. This is in line with Google's strategy. The video itself is information, and the information with the most information (in terms of information, video GT; picture gt; text).
In addition to the recognition of the strategy itself, all shareholders also recognize Eric Schmidt's Google CEO. It is also because he and two co -founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin "
Under the leadership of the carriage ", Google has achieved its current results!
A super -giant company with a market value of $ 129 billion. If Microsoft is used as a software company, Google is the world's largest Internet company. The market value is twice the second place "Yahoo", which is the ten of Fengrui Technology
Bei (Feng Rui's market value is about 10015 billion U.S. dollars)!
Schmidt emphasized the importance of acquiring YouTube, and then raised the existing problems. "The biggest problem in the previous acquisition was the matter of money! Feng Rui asked this acquisition to use Google with the same value to come to
Trading, at that time, Google took the initiative, so I refused;
And with the popularity of the ice barrel challenge, everything is in turn. Now it is the initiative to take the initiative. It can be discussed at $ 1.65 billion before. Now I estimate that there is no 2 billion US dollars.
Feng also called out the price of 3 billion US dollars! "
"$ 3 billion?! This is impossible!" A director refused on the spot. Although Google ’s family was great, he could not be so corrupt.
"His Li Feng is also the price, $ 3 billion is now impossible, but more than 2 billion is still possible, and with this ice barrel challenge, it is not impossible
In the end, the specific price is hard to say. I did hearly heard that Microsoft, Yahoo, Viakang's mother and news group were interested in YouTube! "Schmidt explained it.
"$ 3 billion is a bit much. If you put this money on our Google Video (Google Video), do our video sites still have a chance?" Another director suggested.
"You may not know yet, the advantage of sending first in the Internet world is too important. Originally, YouTube occupied 46%of the Internet video market, myspace has 23%, our Google is 11%, other websites add up to 20%.
We still have a chance to come,
But with this ice barrel challenge, YouTube is already 60%of the share, myspace has 18%, our Google is 7%, and other websites are 15%.
Special.
"It seems that you can only acquire YouTube, but the price is a bit too big, $ 1.65 billion is already the biggest acquisition since our Google was founded!"
"There is no way to do this. Whether a product is worth is not that outsiders can decide, but the buyer, that is, we are Google, one is willing to fight one!
Now YouTube has 50 million users, and the number of users in the United States is 35 million. The daily video viewing volume is as high as 100 million times, and YouTube has the advantages that we do not have
This advantage is not the video itself, but the community that gathers because of video services, and the number of users of YouTube increased by 20%per month, and it is estimated that this number of ice buckets will increase this amount will increase a lot. "
Schmidt said "harmony and drizzle".
Schmidt is such a person, and it is always not slow, and speaking is always a drizzle. He is like a contemporary and easy -going wise man. No matter what happens, he will always be so honored.
Schmidt suddenly thought of something, and then said: "In fact, don't panic, although YouTube is now very hot now, it also has many problems, such as its video copyright above.
Its profit is still relying on a little advertisement in our Google.
To be honest, Google's acquisition of YouTube is definitely a two -arrow and double carving. A win -win matter. We can rely on YouTube's "sticky" of 50 million pairs of audiences and the advertising opportunities behind them. YouTube can also rely on our Google
The strong capital and research and development strength have further developed. At this point, we and YouTube have reached a consensus.
It's just that the biggest problem now is Youtube's biggest shareholder Feng Rui, and it is precisely this Li Feng, the sharp boss! We can't cooperate with YouTube, but he is blocking him behind! "
"Since cooperation is good, why did he refuse, and we also agreed to use shares to acquire it?" A director puzzled.
"His biggest requirement is the shares. The key he wants to ask us for a seat in Google's board of directors!" Schmidt said directly.
"What do he want to do in our Google board?"
"Does this require this?"
"..."
After Schmidt finished speaking, it was also a lot of discussion.
No matter how many companies, its board seats are always counting, and Feng Rui has more seats, which means that other people will be reduced by one!
A board seat of Google not only thought of the symbol of rights, but also could directly or indirectly affect the strategy of Google. This is what Li Feng values.
When everyone discussed the same, Schmidt asked: "Okay, there is not much time, so now we are now willing to be unwilling to give Feng Rui a board seat?"
Everyone was quiet at once, but under the gaze of Schmidt, I did not dare to raise it with disagreement. The board of directors itself showed that the interests of this shareholder, the acquisition of YouTube itself is in line with the interests of shareholders. Can everyone disagree!
Schmidt looked around for a week and found that except for Larpegy, all shareholders raised their hands to agree.
Seeing this, Schmidt asked Larie Page: "Page, I know that you and Feng Rui's Leo knows it.
Chapter completed!
