Reborn multinational giant
Chapter 427
Since eBay bought paypal with us $1.5 billion in 2002, PayPal has developed independently as a subsidiary of eBay, with independent business system, CEO and other management. However, PayPal is still limited by the management and board of directors of the parent company eBay in major decisions.
"Welcome, Mr. Fang zhe!" David Marcus, the current CEO, shook hands with Fang zhe with a warm smile at the door of PayPal\'s headquarters. It was beyond Fang Zhe\'s expectation that he could appear at the door to meet him in person.
Before coming here, Fang zhe had done detailed homework on PayPal, as well as the senior management and important shareholders of PayPal\'s parent company eBay. Combined with his various past events about paypal and eBay from previous life to this life, Fang zhe felt that his trip was more like playing a customs clearance game.
David Marcus is a professional manager in front of him. After eBay acquired PayPal in 2002, he was assigned to PayPal as CEO by the board of directors of eBay. In the previous life, in 2014, PayPal resigned from PayPal because of its spin off from eBay.
Fang zhe was surprised that David Marcus would personally greet him at the door. According to the unspoken rules, Fang Zhe is not worth welcoming the CEO of PayPal, a well-known company in the world.
"If you don\'t have anything to pay attention to, you\'ll steal if you\'re not a traitor!"
Fang zhe thought, but his face showed a professional smile. His follower David Marcus came all the way to the top floor conference room.
After the door of the conference room was opened, a whole row of seven or eight people sitting on the opposite side of the conference table looked at the door. Fang Zhe, who had done his homework, glanced gently and recognized that in addition to the senior management of PayPal, it also included the senior management and shareholders of eBay.
Fang zhe was not surprised. As early as a few months ago, Fang zhe had sent representatives to say hello to PayPal executives such as David Marcus and had preliminary communication. Because of the special relationship between paypal and eBay, it was normal for eBay executives and important shareholders to appear here.
After a brief welcome greeting, Fang zhe sat in the middle of the conference table. Huang Siyi and others who accompanied him sat on both sides of Fang Zhe in turn. Opposite Fang Zhe, there was PayPal CEO David Marcus who had just sat down.
Fang zhe turned his head and looked at Huang Siyi beside him. He opened his mouth knowingly:
"Mr. Marcus, I\'d like to give you and all of you a brief introduction to the basic situation of Huizhong company.
Huizhong company is a mobile Internet company founded in China. Its core business includes mobile social communication, games, cloud computing, etc. Although Huizhong company was founded in China, its businesses are all over the world.
At present, wechat, the mobile social software of our company, has more than 600 million users all over the world. You must have heard the name of this software. Its mobile games, page games and other game businesses have more than 300 million players all over the world, in the field of Cloud Computing.
Previously, the representative of our company has expressed his intention to cooperate with your company in the field of mobile payment. Today, Fang Zhe, chairman and CEO of our company, also personally came to your company to discuss this matter. I hope we can reach a specific cooperation agreement on relevant contents today! "
After showing Huizhong\'s muscles, Huang Siyi expressed his cooperative position. In fact, such opening content is indeed effective. Although the top management of eBay had a thorough understanding of Fang Zhe and his Huizhong before Fang Zhe and others, including Marcus and PayPal, today, Huang Siyi will listen to Huizhong\'s strength, Marcus and others still felt some shock.
The game business and cloud computing business all over the world, as well as wechat, a mobile communication software with more than 600 million users around the world, are each enough to make a large-scale Internet company.
However, now, these businesses are not only gathered in Huizhong company, but also the company has done all this in just over three years. The founder is a 24-year-old Chinese young man and the richest person under the age of 30 in the world!
"Mr. Huang, I don\'t know what areas your company intends to cooperate with our company and how to cooperate?" a PayPal executive sitting next to Marcus first asked questions for Marcus in an equal capacity.
Huang Siyi glanced at Fang Zhe and saw that Fang zhe didn\'t say anything, so he continued: "to be honest, we plan to access PayPal payment in some international versions of wechat!"
WOW!
As soon as Huang Siyi said this, the PayPal side sitting opposite was a little restless. Although everyone didn\'t speak loudly or lose their manners due to the occasion and identity, Fang zhe still looked at each other.
As early as after the representatives of Huizhong group contacted PayPal, Marcus and other senior executives of PayPal speculated and discussed the cooperation intention and mode between Huizhong and them. One of the things they most hope and dare not think of is the access to PayPal payment in wechat, because in their opinion, Huizhong can\'t give such a big cake to PayPal, a company that has nothing to do with them.
So when the big cake and pie really fell down, Marcus and others\' heart beat a little faster.
"What conditions do you have?" Marcus, who had been silent for more than ten seconds, opened his mouth.
This time, Fang Zhe, the big boss, personally answered his question: "two conditions: first, spin off paypal and let us Huizhong invest in PayPal. Second"
"It\'s impossible!"
Fang Zhe\'s second condition hasn\'t been said yet. The golden haired middle-aged man between paypal and Marcus directly refused loudly!
Fang zhe noticed that Marcus, sitting opposite him, looked a little ugly.
"It seems that it\'s exactly what he guessed." Fang zhe thought and turned to the middle-aged man who directly refused. He knew him. He was eBay CEO John Donahoe. Like Marcus, he was also a professional manager.
"Mr. Donahoe, what\'s your opinion?" Fang zhe asked calmly.
Everyone in the conference room focused on Donahoe. Due to his identity, Marcus couldn\'t speak to stop him from answering.
"Since you know I\'m Donahoe, you should also know that I\'m the CEO of eBay, PayPal\'s parent company. Now I tell you on behalf of eBay that eBay can\'t allow PayPal to be separated from eBay. I can promise to cooperate with you and PayPal, but I won\'t agree to your conditions for splitting PayPal!" Donahoe showed a firm attitude between his words.
Fang zhe looked at the PayPal on the opposite side and said slowly with a smile:
"Do you mean it yourself or on behalf of eBay\'s board of directors?"
Fang Zhe\'s question is no less than slapping Donahoe in the face. Although he is the CEO of eBay, as a professional manager, can he represent the board of directors? This question made Donahoe a little angry. Just when he was about to get angry, Marcus sitting opposite Fang zhe shouted:
"Enough, Donahoe, this is PayPal, not eBay and the board!"
"Welcome, Mr. Fang zhe!" David Marcus, the current CEO, shook hands with Fang zhe with a warm smile at the door of PayPal\'s headquarters. It was beyond Fang Zhe\'s expectation that he could appear at the door to meet him in person.
