After saying this, Lin Yuan picked up a laptop next to him and logged into his online personal banking at Citibank in Eagle Country.
After opening the account total page, Lin Yuan pushed the notebook in front of Zuckerberg.
"One billion dollars!"
Zuckerberg was shocked when he saw the numbers on his account.
He didn't expect that his college friend would be a rich man and could actually spend $1 billion to acquire his company.
"Lin, you really shocked me. I didn’t expect you to be so rich!"
Zuckerberg exclaimed
"It’s just a family accumulation. Lin
Yuan replied casually.
His money was scattered in different accounts.
This money was specially prepared by him for the acquisition of Facebook.
After proving his strength to Zuckerberg, Lin Yuan spoke Ask Zuckerberg:
"How about it? Mark, my friend, will you sell your company to me?"
Zuckerberg did not answer immediately, but fell into thinking.
If it is just to make money, selling the company to Yahoo is no different from selling to Lin Yuan.
What's more, Yahoo is only willing to offer 850 million US dollars. Lin Yuan actually offered 1 billion U.S. dollars.
But one question Zuckerberg is worried about now is whether Lin Yuan, as a native of Longguo, has the ability to run Facebook well after acquiring Facebook?
Yahoo is a global Internet giant after all. company, has rich experience in the Internet industry.
But he knew nothing about Lin Yuan’s abilities in this area.
After thinking for a moment, Zuckerberg threw the question to Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan asked Zuckerberg Ge a very unexpected answer
"It's not me who runs it, it's you who runs it. Lin
Yuan replied with a smile.
Then, he explained in detail:
"After my acquisition, everything about Facebook will remain unchanged. You will still manage and operate it. I will not interfere in any specific affairs of Facebook."
"Of course, I will definitely pay you enough"
"Fixed salary of $5 million in cash, plus 10% stock. However, these shares will be given to you in four years, and you can get 2.5% of the shares every year."
"In addition, after completing the acquisition, I will inject an additional US$30 million into the company as operating expenses."
Lin Yuan made his own conditions to Zuckerberg.
After listening to Lin Yuan's conditions, Zuckerberg felt that he had no reason to refuse.
Although he is now Facebook's largest shareholder, he actually only has 40 % of the shares, and the remaining shares are scattered among investors such as Facebook co-founders Saverin, Moskowitz, and Peter.
By selling Facebook as a whole for US$1 billion, he can immediately distribute He received US$400 million in cash, and then regained 10% of the shares, which not only ensured his immediate short-term interests, but also retained the possibility of long-term profits.
Even a cash salary of US$5 million, in today's Eagle Sauce Country , is also an absolutely high salary.
At this time, the average total income of CEOs of large companies in Eagle Country is only US$3.2 million, and of this US$3.2 million, the cash component is only US$697,000, and the rest comes from performance awards. Or share dividends, etc.
Therefore, Zuckerberg feels that as long as he is a person with normal mental thinking, he will definitely accept the generous conditions offered by Lin Yuan.
"make a deal."
Zuckerberg replied readily.
Lin Yuan was not surprised at all by Zuckerberg's choice.
Although Facebook seems to have good momentum now, except for him, a reborn person who has opened his eyes, no one After knowing that this website will become a company with a market value of several trillions. The total market valuation at the moment is only 400-500 million US dollars, so Yahoo thinks that the acquisition price of 1 billion US dollars is very expensive.
But Lin Yuan knows that this The price is simply too cheap.
The US$1 billion he spent today will become hundreds of billions or trillions in the future!
As for the 10% share given to Zuckerberg, it is naturally to make Zuckerberg work well for him..
Even though it only has 10% of the shares, it will also be a big fortune in the future. Zuckerberg will definitely be reluctant to give up and will definitely run Facebook well.
After negotiating with Zuckerberg, Lin Yuan asked:
"Can you handle the rest of the shareholders? Zuckerberg nodded and replied:
"No problem, they all want to cash out their shares as soon as possible, especially that bastard Saverin."
He now hates Saverin very much, his old friend who took him to court.
"The dispute between you and the Winklevoss brothers regarding Facebook creativity also needs to be resolved as soon as possible. I don’t want the company to have any future troubles."
Lin Yuan brought up another thing.
After a pause, Lin Yuan said to Zuckerberg:
"After the acquisition is completed, let the lawyers from Covas International Law Firm help you. You must reconcile with the two brothers as soon as possible and shut them up to avoid causing trouble to us in the future."
"No problem, these two bastards just want to extort money."
Zuckerberg replied angrily.
He has been entangled with the Winklevoss brothers and hates these two brothers.
Lin Yuan did not comment on this.
In the original time and space of history, Zuckerberg and Winklevoss The Cowboys brothers' lawsuit lasted for several years, and Zuckerberg eventually lost, paying the two brothers $65 million.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Zuckerberg copied some of the ideas of the Winklevoss brothers..
But Lin Yuan doesn’t care about this. His purpose is simple, to make a lot of money, and Zuckerberg can help him make money now, so he must support Zuckerberg.
And he doesn’t want this issue to be like the original historical time and space. It has been delayed for many years. The earlier it is resolved, the smaller the cost will be.
After discussing the business, Lin Yuan invited Zuckerberg to have lunch.
After lunch, Zuckerberg said goodbye and left.
He will go back and fix Facebook as soon as possible. All shareholders then formally signed a transaction contract with Lin Yuan.
After Zuckerberg left, Lin Yuan called Wolfson and told Wolfson about his acquisition of Facebook.
Once Zuckerberg News came from Zuckerberg that Wolfson was going to help him complete all the formal legal procedures for the acquisition.
In the following days, Lin Yuan and others stayed in Silicon Valley, waiting for news from Zuckerberg in order to formally complete the acquisition..
The waiting of Lin Yuan and others did not last long.
Just as Zuckerberg said to Lin Yuan, when receiving the offer from Yahoo, the remaining shareholders of Facebook already wanted to cash out.
Even this Once, in order to avoid the recurrence of Yahoo's last-minute regrets about lowering prices, all shareholders quickly reached an agreement and requested to sign a contract with Lin Yuan as soon as possible.
Even Facebook's No. 2 shareholder Saverin, who is currently in court with Zuckerberg, expressed that He had to be quite cooperative.
After all, he was not arguing with Zuckerberg just for money.
As long as the money was in place, everything was easy to negotiate.
That's it.
Two days later,
Lin Yuan completed the contract signing with Zuckerberg and others.
He officially completed the acquisition of Facebook for US$1 billion in pure cash.
"Mark, Facebook belongs to you and me now. Without Saverin and those guys in the way, you can go ahead and do it!"
"I have already arranged that the operating expenses of 30 million US dollars will be paid tomorrow."
In an office at Facebook, Lin Yuan promised Zuckerberg.
"Lin, don't worry. With your financial support, I will be able to run Facebook well. Zuckerberg replied with a smile.
Of course he was extremely happy when the US$400 million was received and he retained 10% of the company's shares.
He decided to go big. After all, he still had 10% of the new company. shares, if the company operates well and makes money, his income will be more
"Haha, I believe you can do it. Lin
Yuan replied with a laugh.
Seeing that Zuckerberg, his own wage earner, was so motivated, he was certainly in a good mood.
Then, he continued:
"So, my friend, that’s it for today"
"I have a flight to catch, so I won’t stay here. See you next time."
After that, Lin Yuan took Wolfson, Chu Qiang, Fang Ying and other three people to leave Facebook and rushed to the San Jose Airport, which is closest to Silicon Valley.
Lin Yuan's next stop is Hollywood in the City of Angels..
