Originally, their deal with Yahoo was about to come to an end, but Lin Fan suddenly intervened.

He and the management are happy to see this, but Son is not necessarily so.

Moreover, Masayoshi Son was the one who brokered the deal between them and Yahoo, and played a crucial role in this D round of financing.

In addition, although Masayoshi Son previously had the idea of ​​​​jumping out of the car, he planned to cash out and leave.

But with the entry of Yahoo, this person changed his mind.

Therefore, they cannot hate Masayoshi Son.

In the final analysis, Lin Fan's legs are not thick enough.

Jack Ma did not dare to offend old shareholder SoftBank and potential investor Yahoo just because of Lin Fan's few frivolous promises.

The situation is very complicated. He and Cai Congxin discussed it very late last night and neither came up with a particularly feasible plan.

The final result of the discussion is to act according to circumstances!

After Son Zhengyi learned about the news of "Lin's Capital disrupting the situation" last night, he did not express too many opinions. He just asked Ma Yun to suspend contact with Lin Fan. He would fly to the United States on the earliest flight that night to meet with Ma Yun for detailed discussions.

Early this morning, Jack Ma and Cai Congxin did not go to meet domestic entrepreneurs. Instead, they came to Ali's office in the United States and held a secret meeting with the domestic team.

It wasn't until noon that Ma Yun and Cai Congxin rushed to the airport to greet him when they learned that Son's flight was about to land in San Francisco.

As soon as we arrived at the airport, Jerry Yang called and came to join in the fun.

Originally, Ma Yun didn't think much about it, because Masayoshi Son was kind to Yang Zhiyuan, so it didn't matter if he took the opportunity.

But the other party was now so sure that the call was from Lin Fan, which had to make Ma Yun think more.

He guessed that the two parties must have been angry at the agreement beforehand, and even the offer from Lam Capital might have been passed on to Yahoo by SoftBank.

Since Yang Zhiyuan made everything clear, Ma Yun stopped pretending and immediately answered Lin Fan's call.

"Hey, Mr. Lin~"

Ma Yun said with a smile, and glanced at Yang Zhiyuan, whose face was neither happy nor sad.

I thought to myself, Lin Capital must not be cowardly, otherwise Ahri’s D-round financing will be in danger.

"I heard that you went out. Where are you? Let's have dinner together tonight?"

"Jerry and I are at the airport, picking up Mr. Son Zhengyi. There is no need to eat for the time being, business is important."

Jackma deliberately revealed some information to Lin Fan, hoping that the latter would figure it out for himself.

Lin Fan naturally heard the implication. Son Zhengyi has come to the United States? And he will arrive soon?

This shows that the other party attaches great importance to Ahri's matter, and almost got on the plane the same night after receiving the message.

This efficiency can be regarded as vigorous and resolute.

Jerry Yang also came to pick him up at the airport.

What is he trying to do? Masayoshi Son still wants to convince Ahri and Yahoo to do a deal?

While digesting the information, Lin Fan said: "Let's talk carefully, Jack, Lin Capital is very supportive of you.

If we can't reach an agreement, you can arrange a meeting between me and Mr. Son."

Lin Fan was worried that Ma Yun was not strong-willed, but if Sun Zhengyi easily convinced him, then he would have nothing to worry about.

Jack Ma smiled, he naturally understood Lin Fan's hint, which showed that the other party wanted to get involved.

Then there is room for manipulation on the valuation and quotation.

He had previously told Sun Zhengyi that Lin Capital was willing to pay a high price, which was pure deception, and Lin Fan had not given any substantive commitment.

"Okay, I understand. We will reach a result that satisfies all parties."

Ma Yun still wanted to use Lin's capital as a weight in his hand, but he didn't dare to offend Lin Fan, so he gave Lin Fan a little comfort.

After a few more Zen words, Ma Yun hung up the phone.

"Jack, I don't understand why you insist on letting Lin Fan participate?"

Yesterday there were too many people, so it was difficult for Yang Zhiyuan to ask questions. Now that he had the opportunity, he forgot Sun Zhengyi's instructions. Before the other party arrived, he couldn't help but start questioning Ma Yun alone.

Ma Yun spread his hands and said, "No way, Jerry, Ahri is a start-up company, and every penny is important to us.

Lin Fan is willing to offer a higher price, and we cannot refuse."

Yang Zhiyuan frowned and said, "How much can they offer? As I said before, after paying taxes, Lin Fan may only have more than 800 million US dollars left in the cash.

He wants to invest in Ahri, which will cause him great financial pressure.

Once Ahri's development is not as good as he wants, he may go to the market to sell Ahri's equity.

The instability of shareholders will also have an impact on Ali's operations.

The most important thing is, if he can invest one billion US dollars, can he still invest two or three billion US dollars?

It's impossible for him, only Yahoo has this strength."

Jack Ma smiled lightly and didn't answer.

What Jerry Yang said is true. They have also considered that compared to financial resources, Yahoo must have stronger capital than Lin's capital.

However, the scene that happened earlier made him more vigilant.

Masayoshi Son would rather ignore the overall interests of Ali's shareholders and collude with Yang Zhiyuan in private.

It is very possible for the two of them to form an alliance to deal with themselves together in the future.

He understands what Son is doing because the other party still has shares in Yahoo.

Yahoo's entry has strengthened Ali's strength. Son Zhengyi holds shares in both companies, which is equivalent to integrating the resources in his hands and earning more in terms of interests.

But this approach undoubtedly treats Ahri as a chess piece to be manipulated at will.

If it weren't for Lin Fan, Ma Yun would just pretend to be crazy and admit it with his nose pinched.

But now that we have cards to play, we naturally have to find a situation that is most beneficial to the management.

After chatting with Yang Zhiyuan for more than an hour, a little old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a height of only 1.5 meters appeared at the passenger passage.

Sun Zhengyi saw Ma, Yang and Cai at a glance and waved to them.

When the three of them saw the rightful owner arriving, they hurried forward to greet him.

"Jack, Jerry, Joseph, long time no see!"

Son Zhengyi and the three of them hugged each other, looking extremely happy and almost bursting into laughter.

After exchanging a few words, the three of them led Sun Zhengyi out, followed by several of Sun Zhengyi's assistants.

"Jack, what's going on? We didn't have a good negotiation with Yahoo. Why did you regret it at the last moment?"

Son Zhengyi said with a straight face: "Don't China pay attention to the culture of gentlemen? This is not the behavior of a gentleman."

Yang Zhiyuan smiled lightly, the person who treated Jack Ma finally arrived.

Ma Yun shook his head repeatedly, "We haven't signed the contract yet, so it doesn't count as going back on our word."

Then he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "On the contrary, as CEO, I am thinking about the interests of all shareholders."
