Yahoo is the biggest beneficiary of this transaction!"

Jack Ma also came out and added: "We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. If we have to choose the largest institutional shareholder between Masayoshi Son and you, we hope it will be you, not Masayoshi Son."

Lin Fan couldn't hold back his laughter. What a stupid reason!

However, Jerry Yang has always valued emotions and tends to fall into this trap.

Of course, the benefits are also clear, increasing the shareholding ratio and raising the valuation of Yahoo China.

Yang Zhiyuan fell into silence for a while.

Ma Yun secretly gave Lin Fan a wink, there is a way!

Compared with the cunning Son Zhengyi, Yang Zhiyuan is undoubtedly much easier to deal with.

So the two set their breakthrough point on the founder of Yahoo.

To this end, the two made many plots.

"Mr. Son Zhengyi is a very independent person, and what he decides cannot be changed."

Yang Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, holding back this sentence.

Lin Fan and Ma Yun looked at each other and both knew that the other was attracted.

For Ari's D-round financing, management, Yahoo, SoftBank, and Lam Capital have actually reached a certain consensus.

What is currently being fought for is just a few shares.

It sounds like they are as stingy and fussy as the uncles and aunts at the vegetable market.

But given Ahri’s current valuation of US$30 to US$4 billion, a single share of equity is worth US$30 to 40 million.

Moreover, several investors are not stupid. They have all seen China’s vast e-commerce market and its exaggerated growth rate.

Once Ahri is completed, a small amount of equity may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the future.

One point is worth billions of dollars, which I don’t even dare to think about yet.

In short, the three investment institutions all want to divide a few more shares of Ali.

Yang Zhiyuan has a soft-tempered temperament, and he comes from a technical background, so he is relatively less playful.

But he is definitely not stupid. The current plan is beneficial to Yahoo. He is very tempted, but he is worried that he will not be able to convince Son.

So Lin Fan and Ma Yun began to make suggestions for him.

Jack Ma wants to push forward the implementation of the financing plan as soon as possible, get the money as soon as possible, and completely end the war on domestic c2c e-commerce platforms. At the same time, he also wants to avoid Yahoo and SoftBank from holding too much equity, so as not to lose the future.

And Lin Fan just wants to hold a few more shares in Ali. In the next few years, there should be no better investment than this.

Now that SoftBank doesn't want to share it, it will enlist Yahoo to fight for it.

When it comes to interests, Yahoo and SoftBank are not monolithic. Especially when Lam Capital is willing to let Yahoo be the largest institutional shareholder, Jerry Yang is still willing to cooperate with Lam Capital under certain conditions.

As for the personal grievances between him and Lin Fan, we can put them aside for the time being. They are both adults and know how to put profit first.

In fact, he and Lin Fan don't have much grudges. Facebook rejected Yahoo's acquisition, Facebook defeated Yahoo in social networking, and Lin Capital intervened in Ahri's financing...

That's all Ling Ling always has, and it's not a matter of deep hatred or sworn hatred.

The three people exchanged opinions with each other and quickly came up with a highly feasible plan.

Jerry Yang took this plan and was responsible for convincing Son.

The two of them stayed away to avoid Sun Zhengyi becoming repulsive.

Jerry Yang left with full harvest.

Ma Yun sent him out of the door, then returned to the room and said to Lin Fan: "Mr. Lin, are you satisfied now? Don't make any more trouble."

After experiencing this incident, Ma Yun also knew that the person sitting on the chair and smiling at him was definitely not someone to get along with.

The methods are extremely sophisticated, combining vertical and horizontal forces, pulling one group to fight another, and never standing still when it's time to stay down and be a child. It's so torturous!

Lin Fan didn't know that he had been recorded in Ma Yun's notebook, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as soon as Son compromises, the contract will be signed immediately, and there will be no delay in payment.

Jack, you've worked hard these past two days! When this happens, I'll find a place and let's celebrate."

"There's no need to celebrate, I'm still worried about the domestic issues!"

Thinking that the two sides are still "plastic brothers", Jack Ma did not want to displease Lin Fan, so he added: "We will celebrate when Ahri is officially launched."

In his mind, Lin Fan sighed at Jack Ma's impeccable way of dealing with others, and smiled and said yes again and again.

"Mr. Lin, there is something that you must pay attention to!"

Lin Fan looked up at Ma Yun, somewhat puzzled.

"You have to find a way to use your funds as domestic capital!"

Ma Yun paused, "In this way, between the two of us, domestic capital will definitely control Ali, which will be beneficial to Ali's future development of some more sensitive businesses."

Lin Fan thought to himself that he had just finished praising Jack Ma for his impeccable work, and now the other party had shown his foresight again.

At present, the country is still vigorously promoting investment, and several Silicon Valley giants are rushing to flood into the Chinese market like vicious dogs.

The country has not taken action in this regard yet, but Jackma seems to have seen some signs.

So Lin Fan asked: "You are close to the big guys in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Have you heard any news?"

Ma Yun waved his hands repeatedly and kept silent about this matter.

Lin Fan didn't hold on, and the other party didn't want to talk, so he gave up.

After chatting with Jack Ma about traditional martial arts again, Lin Fan said goodbye and left.

…………

…………

Yang Zhiyuan persuaded Sun Zhengyi, and it turned out to be much more effective than Jack Ma and Lin Fan.

Although SoftBank is an important shareholder of Yahoo, Masayoshi Son also has to sell Yang Zhiyuan two cents.

At first, Son was resolute, getting angry and threatening in various ways.

But Yang Zhiyuan released Lin Fan, and Ma Yun prepared the first trick for him - flipping the table.

Jerry Yang said that if Yahoo is not allowed to take the lead, then Yahoo will withdraw from this financing operation.

Sure enough, Son Zhengyi was anxious.

How could Yahoo quit?

Once Yahoo withdraws, the intrinsic value of Ahri will be greatly reduced. Although he can also liquidate his shares in Ahri, it will obviously not make as much money as "bringing Yahoo into the market and helping Ahri win the e-commerce battle".

Therefore, Masayoshi Son had no choice but to compromise and decided to give a few shares to Yahoo.

But Jerry Yang didn't stop there and asked SoftBank to give a few more shares to Lam Capital.

This immediately pissed off Son Zhengyi.

This was what Lin Fan and Ma Yun expected, so Yang Zhiyuan opened the second tip the two gave him - Xu Yiyi.

After Yahoo went public, SoftBank reduced its stake in the company, but still holds a significant proportion of its shares.

Jerry Yang's meaning is very clear. Yahoo has taken the majority of Ali's shares, and SoftBank can also indirectly hold a part of the shares. Plus SoftBank's direct holdings, overall it will not be less.

In addition, Yahoo can acquire SoftBank's Taobao shares at a high price to help Son make a fortune first.

Furthermore, Jack Ma's team expressed that it can accept Yahoo China's injection at a higher valuation, and SoftBank can indirectly benefit from it.

Argue, compromise, argue again, compromise again...

This process was repeated over and over again, and then Son really compromised.

By the time Masayoshi Son compromised, it was already a week later.

The group of entrepreneurs from China had already finished the annual meeting of the Huayuan Science and Technology Association and left.

Only Jack Ma and Cai Congxin are still staying in the United States.

When he received a call from Masayoshi Son, Ma Yun was overjoyed. The most difficult person to deal with was finally settled.
Chapter completed!
