Chapter 676 Who is YYing your Yang Huan?

The cold mornings in winter are undoubtedly the best excuse to stay in bed.

In a single apartment in a community within the Third Ring Road of Beijing, Su Jingyan, who was planning to catch up on a good night's sleep because she had no plans for the day, was disturbed by a sudden and inconsiderate cell phone ring.

The sleepy little sister of the Su family stuck her head out of the warm bed with disheveled hair, and almost threw the mobile phone on the bedside table away to vent her anger.

Especially when she squinted at the alarm clock and saw that it was already past five in the morning, she really had an urge to run away.

But when she saw the caller ID showed that it was a company employee, she endured it!

If this was a call from someone promoting an advertisement, she would probably want to curse.

But even so, she still sighed deeply, answered the phone, and said weakly, "Hello!"

"Little sister, big news, big news!" The Fengmang Bilu on the other end of the phone shouted loudly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

In her company, all employees call each other by pen names. For example, Su Jingyan is called Su Jia Xiaomei. For convenience, everyone calls her Xiaomei, or the awkward Xiaomeijie.

As for Fengmang Bilu, he used to be a gold medal writer for an authoritative domestic newspaper. Later, Su Jingyan used her connections to recruit him to the company. As his name suggests, he is probably in his early thirties, but his writing is very sharp and his views are very unique, and he is deeply loved by users and readers.

When she heard the big news, the younger sister of the Su family immediately perked up. Her sleepiness and anger at being woken up all disappeared.

It was just a bit regretful, because she actually dreamed of Yang Huan from her high school days...

Well, almost...

"Forget it, tell me quickly, what big news!" Su Jingyan sat up directly from the bed and reached out to touch her messy hair. Her beautiful and attractive figure was vaguely outlined under her loose and translucent pajamas.

"I just received the news. Half an hour ago, Apple Inc. announced that they have agreed to acquire the social software application company WeChat!" Fengmang Bilu said excitedly, and then added.

"It's Master Huan's WeChat!"

"What?" Su Jingyan was completely stunned.

Is WeChat going to be acquired by Apple?

How is this possible?

There have been rumors for the past two years that Apple is going to acquire a social application, but there has been no further news. The only big news is that Apple has started close cooperation with Twitter.

But how could it suddenly acquire WeChat for no reason?

Fengmang Bilu naturally didn't know what Su Jingyan was thinking, but nodded very affirmatively and said, "It's absolutely true, and this will be the largest deal in Apple's history, with a total amount of 20 billion US dollars!"

"Twenty billion dollars?" When Su Jingyan heard this number, her first reaction was, "How is this possible?"

"That's right, they only acquired 10% of the shares of WeChat." Fengmang Bilu was also quite excited.

This is a company founded by the Chinese. The acquisition of 10% of the shares at a cost of US$20 billion means that the company's valuation is as high as US$200 billion, which is already one of the companies with the highest market value in the world.

What’s even more exciting is that the boss of this company is your own boss!

When Su Jingyan heard this, she immediately understood that if they could acquire 10% for $20 billion, then it would be possible.

But why was there no news about such a big news beforehand?

"Hurry up and contact the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, listen to their intelligence analysis, and feel out their intentions. Then call other people. Come to the company for a meeting early today. I'll be back soon!"

"Understood!" Fengmang Bilu hung up the phone immediately.

Su Jingyan lowered the hand that was holding the phone, and clearly felt as if her body was empty.

She would never have thought that Yang Huan would make such a deal with Apple. Why?

Give him a call and ask?

But when she thought about the dream just now, she still felt ashamed.

After thinking about it, Su Jingyan took out her cell phone and called Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning didn't seem to be asleep. There were voices all around him, and some were cheering loudly.

"Sister Ning, where are you?" Su Jingyan asked.

"I'm at the company!" Zhang Ning replied with a smile, "Did you receive the message?"

"Well, my colleagues on the night shift were keeping an eye on the developments in the United States, and I received the news as soon as it was officially announced."

At this point, Su Jingyan smiled bitterly with some complaints: "Sister Ning, you guys are really good at keeping this a secret. There was no news at all beforehand, and you even kept it a secret from your own people."

Zhang Ning chuckled. "I'm sorry, I was only involved in this matter at the beginning. I was not in charge of it, but Zhao Yuanfang. He has been in the United States, so I am not very clear about the specific progress. Moreover, it had to be kept confidential beforehand, so..."

"Yeah, I understand!" Su Jingyan laughed. Of course she knew it, but she said that on purpose.

"But, Sister Ning, since it has been officially announced, there is no need to keep it secret. Please reveal more inside information to us!"

Zhang Ning chuckled again, "I knew you were a cunning girl. Tell me what you want to know!"

"Why sell? Also, why does Apple want to buy? What is the valuation? What are the twists and turns in the specific negotiation process?"

Su Jingyan quickly asked all the questions in her mind.

"You ask some pretty broad questions!" Zhang Ning smiled bitterly.

"Of course, it's for our company!" Su Jingyan laughed confidently.

Zhang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you, Apple wants to buy it not only because they are interested in our WeChat, but also because of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, as well as the home console business that our WeChat Research Institute is developing, and our cloud computing business that has been developing very rapidly in the past three years."

"Apple has been committed to expanding its product range over the past few years, with the living room being the next focus. So there have always been rumors that Apple is going to launch a smart TV, but there has been no news. Even the development of Apple's set-top box is embarrassing."

Su Jingyan kept nodding her head. She had known this before.

"Apple is very interested in the home console we are researching. After the acquisition is completed, Apple's set-top box business will be incorporated into our home console project. In terms of cloud computing, we will also carry out all-round cooperation with Apple."

As we all know, Apple has two biggest weaknesses: one is social networking and the other is cloud computing.

Cooperating with WeChat can solve two major problems at one stroke, which is very beneficial for Apple.

"In fact, the first company to contact us was Facebook, not Apple, two years ago. They offered a 100% acquisition price of $1 billion, but we rejected it. A year ago, Google wanted to acquire 100% of the company for $10 billion, but we also refused. Not long ago, three companies began to negotiate with us frequently, and their offers kept rising. In the end, we chose Apple."

At this point, Zhang Ning smiled again and said, "In fact, the one with the highest offer was not Apple."

"Not an apple?" Su Jingyan was a little surprised.

"Yes, both Google and Facebook offered higher prices than Apple. Google offered $23 billion, and Facebook offered $22 billion, but in the end we chose Apple's offer of $20 billion."

"Why?" Su Jingyan was depressed. The difference was billions.

"Uh... Master Huan's decision. He said that apples are more pleasing to the eye!"

"Ah?" Su Jingyan almost fell down. What does this mean?

Just because you like Apple more, you gave up billions and chose Apple?

Isn’t this too willful?

"Just kidding!" Zhang Ning laughed.

"In fact, it's because we all feel that Apple's proposal meets our requirements. Ten billion dollars in cash and ten billion dollars in Apple stock, Master Huan is more receptive to such a proposal."

Su Jingyan nodded. It seemed that Master Huan was optimistic that Apple’s stock price would continue to rise.

You know, since a sharp drop at the beginning of the year, Apple's stock price has fallen to the bottom again. Now with the launch of new mobile phones and other products at the end of the year, the outside world expects that it may rise again.

If Mr. Huan is optimistic that Apple's stock can return to its peak, then Apple's plan is indeed more attractive.

"Then, why does Young Master Huan want to sell it?" Su Jingyan asked with concern.

Zhang Ning chuckled, "As for the reason, you must have heard it a long time ago."

Su Jingyan frowned slightly and thought for a while, "Is it really going to be listed?"

"Yes, it is going to be listed!" Zhang Ning gave a solemn and forceful affirmative answer.

From what she said, this inside news can be published.

In fact, even if Zhang Ning didn't say it, when the news of Apple's acquisition of 10% of WeChat's shares spread, the media around the world would definitely go crazy, and when the time came, industry insiders would definitely be able to come up with an answer after analyzing it.

Before going public, many companies will deliberately look for some reputable investors or large companies to acquire them, create momentum, and reassure shareholders and investors.

Now that WeChat has sold part of its shares to Apple, this factor is certainly not ruled out.

Just imagine that Apple acquired WeChat with a valuation of 200 billion US dollars. Once WeChat goes public, can its market value be lower than this price?

If shareholders and investors respond enthusiastically and the stock price rises rapidly, WeChat company may be able to squeeze out a sky-high price.

Thinking of this, Su Jingyan found it hard to believe.

He even doubted whether he was dreaming.

Just overnight, Yang Huan got $10 billion in cash and $10 billion in Apple stock for no reason.

Wait, $10 billion worth of Apple stock, based on the current market value, wouldn't that be...

"Doesn't Yang Huan become a major shareholder of Apple now?"

Zhang Ning couldn't help but admire this girl for her quick reaction.

"Among individual investors, Master Huan is the largest shareholder, and among all Apple shareholders, he ranks third."

Even so, this is already quite amazing, okay?

Well, but it’s also good this way. Why not just replace all the company’s computers and laptops with Apple ones, and equip each person with a mobile phone and tablet? Then ask Young Master Huan to pay for them directly?

What? No?

You have to do it even if you have to. You want your employees to use the products produced by your own company. Given your character, Master Huan, do you have the nerve to accept money for them?

Thinking of this, Su Jingyan couldn't help but giggle.

She seemed to have already seen the depressed look on Yang Huan's face after being blackmailed.

Just when Su Jingyan was fantasizing about Yang Huan, a cell phone rang beside Zhang Ning. When he picked up the phone, he heard her calling "Uncle Yang", who sounded like Yang Huan's father.

Immediately after Zhang Ning hung up the phone, he told Su Jingyan that he had something to do and wanted to hang up the phone too.

But before hanging up the phone, the girl suddenly said these two words.

"Hey, little sister of the Su family, stop fantasizing about our Young Master Huan all day long. It's harmful to your health!"

"Also, don't blame me for not warning you. Our Master Huan has many ways to deal with girls, especially with older single girls like you. It's easy for him to get them!"

After saying that, the phone hung up.

Su Jingyan became famous.

Who is YYing your Yang Huan?

Also, who are the older leftover women?

Speak clearly!

I'm only twenty-four years old, okay?

Tsk, only you guys treat Yang Huan as a treasure. In my eyes, he is... Never mind, I won’t say anything about him!
