Mark Anderson's arrival was not beyond Zhou Shuo's expectations, but this does not mean that no one was surprised by this.

"I wonder if you would like to invite Mr. Anderson to come together?" Zhou Shuo poured a cup of coffee for James and asked with a smile.

Microsoft and Liuer Software are both on the ground in Seattle. Although the United States is convenient to fly and transport, James is still somewhat advantageous. Before Mark Anderson arrived, the two had been chatting for a while.

Although I thought it was known why Mark Anderson appeared in Seattle at this time, James nodded reservedly and smiled: "No problem, I'm the guest and the host."

Zhou Shuo looked at James deeply and smiled with relief. If we look at the interests, the purpose of both Mark Anderson and Microsoft must be the same. Even so, James did not reject Zhou Shuo's request. It can be seen that there is not a complete business relationship between him and him, and maybe he is willing to talk about some personal feelings.

Of course, otherwise James is just a middle-level Microsoft member, how could He De become the messenger of the acquisition of Liuer Software Company? Bill used his meaning to hope to talk about some personal feelings. After all, Microsoft's previous half-way change of mind was too bad. If this comeback this time, James didn't know how many times the old relationship between the two could be consumed. It would be okay to refute one or two times between friends, but he couldn't say anything at all.

"This is Mr. Joey, right?" Mark Anderson's mental state looked much better than before. He wore a well-tailored suit, shiny leather shoes, and a meticulous hairstyle on his head. He looked like a successful person and formed his momentum to the peak.

But compared with Zhou Shuo, who seems to be in a normal state, although the appearance of the two is very different, Mark Anderson seems to be too careful.

Mark Anderson made an aggressive bluff, as if he was about to turn against the enemy, and walked towards Zhou Shuo with arrogant strode.

"Mr. Anderson. Although we have heard of Daming for a long time, we will meet for the first time." Zhou Shuo stood up without fireworks, shook hands with him, pointed to the side and said, "This is Mr. James from Microsoft, and I am my old friend."

"Microsoft? Sorry, I haven't heard of it. I don't know what position Mr. James is in Microsoft?" Mark Anderson looked at James condescendingly, but the corners of his mouth collapsed unconsciously.

At this time, he met someone from Microsoft in Zhou Shuo's reception room, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If anyone was the roadblock that Mark Anderson identified, it must be Microsoft. Netjing wants Liuer Software Company to maintain its dominant position. Why doesn't Microsoft want Liuer Software Company to extend its hands into the Internet field?

"It's not surprising that Mr. Anderson doesn't know. I'm just a middle-level manager in charge of Microsoft's erp project." James smiled gently, just nodded, and did not get up to greet him.

"Mid-level manager of the ERP project?" Mark Anderson was slightly stunned and stopped paying attention to James. If Microsoft wants to acquire Liuer Software, it must have hundreds of millions of funds. Such a large business cannot be just a middle-level manager.

If James is a senior executive or a member of the board of directors of Microsoft, he is still in the mood to deal with it. However, if he is just a middle-level executive, then the meaning of his contact with Zhou Shuo is not very important.

"Mr. Joey, I won't beat around the bush." ​​Mark Anderson looked at Zhou Shuo strongly and said simply: "The purpose of my coming here today is to acquire Liuer Software Company."

Zhou Shuo's eyes turned around the faces of James and Mark Anderson. He said with a smile: "As long as a businessman has money to make, there is nothing he can't sell."

Instead of following the rhythm of Mark Anderson, he sat down soothingly. He poured another cup of coffee in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Anderson, please sit down quickly. This is a roasted coffee imported from Italy. Don't you try it carefully?"

Although Mark Anderson sat down, he did not move the coffee cup that exuded a strong aroma. He leaned forward, his aura was full of aggressiveness, and said straight to the point: "Netview hopes to exchange 10% of the shares in exchange for 50% of the shares in Liuer Software Company. Joey shows you how do you think?"

Zhou Shuo picked up the coffee cup and took a sip slowly, not in a hurry to respond to Mark Anderson's proposal. Instead, he looked at James beside him with meaningful squint.

"Netview Company's sincerity is not enough, right?" James didn't mind being used as a gun by Zhou Shuo and said provocatively: "With Liuerim's current market and the future development prospects of Liuer browser, even if the current market share is not as high as Netview, it will not lead to such a large market value gap."

"The future development prospects of Liu'er Browser?" Mark Anderson sneered at the swelling face and said: "With Netscape browser, there will be no so-called prospects for other browsers."

"Mr. Anderson is a bit too arbitrary." James retorted: "If it's really as you said, why does Netscape want to acquire Liuer Software?"

"I am..." Mark Anderson paused for a moment and said toughly: "Liuer Browser does have some unique technologies, but this is not enough to threaten the Netscape browser market. The reason why I proposed to acquire Liuuer Software Company is that I do not want these excellent technologies to be buried because of the failure of Liuuer Browser."

Zhou Shuo reached out to stop the debate between James and Mark Anderson and said with a smile: "Okay, just pretend that Mr. Anderson doesn't want these technologies to be buried. Then, if these technologies are sold to Netscape, will Mr. Anderson be willing to take out 10% of the shares?"

Mark Anderson was speechless by Zhou Shuo's words for a while, of course it was impossible. If Liuer Browser only had excellent technology, it would not be worth 10% of Netscape's shares. There were many cases of excellent technology in history, but there were countless cases of failure in the market. Liuer Software Company's most valuable is actually Zhou Shuo's mind. If he had not stirred up the Internet market with his own strength, his situation in Netscape would not have ended up being surrounded by enemies.

If you really want these technologies, Netscape will use them directly. Where do you need to buy them with Liuer Software? What patents and copyrights are there? It doesn’t have the domineering attitude of “I copy you and I copy you will be infringing”. What is the big company? What is the industry overlord? Don’t you see that Microsoft is the master of this approach. The legal department has always made more profits than the technical department.

The key is that even if you win these technologies, you will have to wait for the next version to apply them to Netscape browser. And this time difference may lead to some unpredictable events. The most important thing is that this will affect Netscape's listing plan in August. It involves billions of dollars in business, which is the root cause of the throne of Mark Anderson's throne behind Netscape.

"Liuer Browser is an excellent browser, and the technicians of Liuer Software Company should not be buried." Mark Anderson said in a roundabout way: "For these excellent technologies and talents, Netscape is willing to give out 10% of the shares."

"Haha, Mr. Anderson just wants to buy the entire project team, and it's really hard for me to sell it." Zhou Shuo spread his hands and pointed at James and said, "Microsoft is also negotiating with me to acquire Liuer Software Company. As Mr. Bill's plenipotent representative, Mr. James also proposed the acquisition of Liuer Im project. But the key is that these two software are all made by one project team. You can't split every technician in half. Let's give you some, right?"

Mark Anderson raised his eyebrows and looked at James. Unexpectedly, Microsoft actually sent such a middle-level manager to discuss the acquisition of Liuer Software. But if these technicians could be really split into two, he wouldn't mind spending a lot of money on it.

"Oh? I don't know what conditions Microsoft can come up with. Is it more sincere than our Netscape?" Mark Anderson looked at James with a arrogant attitude. He didn't believe that a middle-level Microsoft could compete with him for resources.

"3% of Microsoft shares and $100 million in cash." James said without changing his face: "For 80% of Liuer Software's shares."

"Hmph, Microsoft's sincerity is nothing more than that." Mark Anderson said dissatisfied: "The 3% stake is a little stingy, not to mention that it has to cross-hold 80% of the shares."

"This is 3% of Microsoft, not 3% of Netscape." James said with a little pride: "Microsoft's value is more than ten times higher than Netscape."

"Okay, you two, I already know your purpose." Zhou Shuo pressed his arms and stopped them from continuing to argue. Everyone was civilized, and it would be too ugly to make it look like this.

"After all, it's only 3%. "Mark Anderson snorted coldly and stopped fighting with James.

"So, I wonder what Mr. Zhou's acquisition of Microsoft means?" James deliberately used Zhou Shuo's Chinese surname to call him, as if he was deliberately or unintentionally pointing out his personal relationship.

"Netview is also very sincere. If Mr. Joey has any requirements, we can't continue to talk about it." Mark Anderson also sacrificed his magic weapon. The Tangtang Netview Company CEO, I am simply sorry for his identity if I don't use money to smash people.
