Chapter 176 World line, international version of Weixin (two in one)(2/2)
Because there are many factories here in Gusu, the river water is very polluted, and the heavy metals are seriously exceeding the standard. There are basically no wild animals in the rivers in the industrial area.
Because of this, this group of wild ducks can be said to be the best witness to local governments protecting the ecological environment... You see, even wild ducks have appeared.
One of the photography enthusiasts happened to take a picture of Bai Jie blocking the scene of lighting Chen Feng with her hands.
However, Chen Feng didn't know all this. He took a sip of cigarette and turned to look at the setting sun in the west.
He originally planned to invest in some high-tech industries.
For example, electronic information, bioengineering, new material manufacturing, robots, etc.
In addition, the AR industry is about to start its layout.
These industries require large-scale R&D funds, especially to form economies of scale, and the investment is even more huge.
In addition, Jiang Haibo has also been in contact with the Argentine government in South America and negotiating the acquisition of the mine. Once the agreement is completed, it may cost more than one billion US dollars.
After thinking a little, Chen Feng quickly made a decision!
purchase!
There is no hurry to the mine, and even the laboratory has not been built anyway.
If it really doesn't work, discuss with the Argentine government, and it's not too late to slow down payments.
As for other high-tech industries, there is no need to invest too much money at the beginning.
But if you miss WhatsApp, you will always miss it.
WhatsApp is not just a communication tool, it is also a mouthpiece for exporting technology culture, just like tiktok.
In the future, his products can also be displayed to the world through these platforms.
Otherwise, like Fae Pok, you can ban your account directly, so that you don’t even have the chance to speak. What do you use to promote your products and values?
The United States relied on movies to beautify their invasion of other countries into saving world peace.
One of their soldiers died, and countless people around the world mourned him under the camera.
Little did they know that in a place where the camera could not see, there was a little girl holding a dirty doll and looking at the corpses of her relatives in the ruins, silently.
Therefore, the right to speak is as important as a weapon.
One is a soft knife and the other is a hard knife!
After thinking clearly, Chen Feng immediately picked up his cell phone and called Ye Man.
The phone was quickly connected, and Ye Man asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Feng said straight to the point: "I want to buy WhatsApp!"
Yeman: “………”
Seeing Ye Man not speaking for a long time, Chen Feng asked, "Speak, what do you think?"
Ye Man took a deep breath and said, "You may not know WhatsApp, its monthly activeness has exceeded 500 million..."
Chen Feng interrupted without waiting for Ye Man to finish speaking, "Believe me, I understand it very well."
Yeman said: "Since you know it, you should know that it will cost a lot of money to buy it, an astronomical figure. Do you have that much money?"
Chen Feng: "Yes!"
"You really are... Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore."
Ye Man muttered and hung up the phone.
...
...
Chen Feng didn’t know how much the world line changed?
I don’t know if Ma Huateng or Zuckerberg have started to contact the founder of WhatsApp now?
Time waits for no one, so you must act immediately.
After returning to Xinrong Building, he immediately found Ye Man and told her about his decision.
Ye Man looked straight at Chen Feng, with a strange expression on his face, and even a little scary.
Chen Feng was a little scared by her, "What's wrong, why are you looking at me like this?"
Yeman said: "You have to tell me where did you get such money? This question is very important!"
After pausing, Ye Man explained: "It is very troublesome to acquire a company of this level. It does not mean that you only have money. First of all, you must prove that your source of funds is legal. The US Department of Commerce will review your identity and background.
And this is just one in the United States.
In addition, as Europe's largest instant messaging software, more than 300 million Europeans have been using it so far, and the software has mastered a large amount of personal private data of Europeans.
Any company that wants to purchase WhatsApp must pass the review of the European Security Review Commission. If there is any place that does not comply with the regulations, it will not be passed!"
It is definitely not that easy for Chen Feng to acquire such a company, but he did not expect it to be so troublesome.
But even so, he still wanted to give it a try.
"Do you believe me, I'm the stock god? I'm making money back from trading foreign exchange."
Ye Man said speechlessly: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. Do you think the US Department of Commerce believes it?"
Chen Feng spread his hands and said, "But this is a fact. If you don't believe them, just go and investigate."
Although he was not sure how the system's money came, since the system said that the funds were not subject to any restrictions and were absolutely safe, there would definitely be no problem.
The only thing to worry about is whether it can pass the back adjustment?
But he felt that the problem was not big.
First of all, WhatsApp is not a high-tech enterprise, and the United States already has two instant messaging software, Faebok Messenger and Microsoft Skype. WhatsApp should not be taken seriously.
And to be honest, WhatsApp does not have many local users in the United States, and its main user groups are in Europe, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Secondly, at this time of 2014, the Sino-US trade war had not officially begun. Although the struggle between the two countries was open and secret, they still maintained a harmonious atmosphere on the surface.
Therefore, passing the review is a high probability event.
Seeing Chen Feng insisting, Ye Man didn't say anything more. Anyway, he naturally turned around when he hit the south wall.
"Since you insist, then you can do whatever you want!"
Then, Ye Man began to form an acquisition team in accordance with Chen Feng's requirements.
Such a huge acquisition is no joke, and it requires a comprehensive evaluation of WhatsApp.
So at the same time, Ye Man also found all the information about Jane Coom as Chen Feng asked.
Because whether WhatsApp is sold or not, Jane Coomb has the final say.
So we need to study him carefully.
When Chen Feng saw Coom's personal profile, he was immediately conquered by this person's personal charm.
He finally understood why WhatsApp can become the overlord of the global instant messaging field.
On May 22, 2012, Combe said: "The next person who calls me an entrepreneur will be hit by my bodyguard in the face. I'm very serious."
In an interview with the media at the "Mobile World Conference" held in Barcelona in February this year, Combe explained why he didn't like the term "entrepreneur".
"I've been thinking about why I hate the word," Coomb said. "I've looked up the source of the word entrepreneur from 'Wikipedia' to find out what it really means.
My understanding of the term entrepreneur now is to start a company, and the task of this company is to make money. I am not such a person (entrepreneur).
"I started WhatsApp to develop a product, I didn't create a business around WhatsApp, and I didn't want to make money. Entrepreneurs are people who spend time and opportunities to start businesses and then get huge economic benefits."
And Coomb is definitely not as simple as saying.
Although WhatsApp users are so large, a world leader with 500 million monthly active users has long used all kinds of martial arts to cut leeks.
However, WhatsApp's revenue in the first half of 2014 was only US$3 million.
Zhang Xiaodian, Ma Hutu and Li Huoshui were probably laughed to death when they saw it.
The main reason why WhatsApp has such a small revenue is that it does not advertise or charge business, but focuses on developing its own core business to gain a greater market share.
After all, Kum and Musk belong to the same category.
They look down on businessmen like Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, and Mark Zuckerberg.
The reason why Zuckerberg made up his mind to reveal his feelings is because Musk once publicly said: Fae Poker is garbage, stealing privacy, and only monopolizes. Zuckerberg's children know nothing about AI... Then Musk canceled his Fae Poker account.
This incident made Zuckerberg vomit blood in anger, but he didn't dare to respond.
There is no way. As the top five Internet companies in the world with market value, 95% of Fae Book's revenue comes from advertising.
If he dares to confront Musk, build rockets and electric cars, Musk will definitely confront him: You are an advertisement seller, what are you doing?
Just like Li Huoshui, Ren Zhengfei pointed at his nose and scolded him, and he didn't dare to speak back.
Some people may say that Coomb is so awesome and idealistic, and in the end he sold WhatsApp to Zuckerberg?
There is no way, Xiao Zha has given too much!
Chen Feng suddenly felt that he might be able to convince Coo M.
Chapter completed!
