Chapter 901 (1/2)
One morning, Elon Musk was completely moved by Li Mu.
For him who holds 11.7% of PayPal, whether PayPal can sell for $1.5 billion or $1.6 billion is not a big impact on his personal interests.
When Elon Musk raised PayPal's transaction price by 100 million US dollars, he created an additional 11.7 million US dollars for himself, but the amount is considerable, but if calculated by proportion, the additional 11.7 million US dollars is less than 7% of the total income.
However, if we cooperate with Li Mu to bring eBay in and share paypal with the three parties, we will have a chance to achieve more than 50% or even 100% of the original planned income in the short term.
In this case, Elon Musk had an idea in mind: bring eBay in anyway.
Near noon, Elon Musk asked Li Mu for an unmanned conference room and a laptop. Then he logged in to his YY and had a video call with Peter Teer, who was far away in Silicon Valley.
As soon as the video was connected, Peter Teer asked Elon Musk in surprise, ”shouldn't you be meeting with Li Mu? Why did you surf the Internet all of a sudden? ”
”Li Mu has seen through our tricks for a long time, and the content of the original talks is basically useless,” Elon Musk said
Peter Thiel said in surprise, ”did the Chinese see through? But it doesn't matter. I've released the wind to the media. Now eBay should be paying close attention. It doesn't matter what you talk with Li Mu. As long as we can make eBay worried, we will win! ”
Elon Musk laughed at himself and said, ”Peter, we all looked down on Li Mu. He not only saw through our tricks, but also dug a hole for us, waiting for me to jump all the way.”
”What hole did he dig for you?” asked Peter Thiel in surprise
”Li Mu just gave me an offer. Let's help him get eBay in. I personally think this offer is very exciting, so I suspended the meeting with Li Mu first and borrowed a computer to communicate with you via video,” said Elon Musk
Peter Teer was confused and asked, ”put eBay in? What do you mean? ”
”In a nutshell, Li Mu wants to take a stake in PayPal,” said Elon Musk
Peter Thiel's expression immediately fell into a gloom and said scornfully, ”it's really shit. At present, the capital behind us is complex enough. I don't want to add a new investor. You should know that we are going to sell the whole PayPal now, rather than finance it!”
”I know.” ”Don't get excited,” Elon Musk said. ”Listen to me before you comment.”
Peter Thiel sipped and said, ”OK, you can say it, but I can tell you clearly that if it's financing, I don't agree.”
”Li Mu's idea is not to simply finance, but to combine with eBay to acquire most of our shares, to cash out all the capital behind PayPal at present, and then let our original team members cash out a part of their shares, and finally to retain a part of their shares together with Muye technology and eBay,” said Elon Musk
”Joint ownership? Makino technology and eBay? What the hell? ”
Elon Musk narrated the whole proposal of Li Mu to Peter thier in detail. During the listening process, Peter thier's expression gradually turned from disdain at the beginning to shock, and then to ecstasy, shouting: ”oh my God! Oh-My-God！ Oh-My-God！”
Elon Musk looks at Peter Teer in the video and asks him, ”what do you think of Li Mu's offer?”
Peter Thiel, holding his head in both hands, said almost madly, ”this offer is just wonderful! Once Muye technology and eBay share in PayPal, the market value of Paypal will surely increase dramatically, and the rest of our shares will be worth more money, with unlimited future! ”
Elon Musk nodded and said with a smile: ”there is no doubt about the strength of eBay and Muye technology. If they both take shares, I guess Paypal will not have additional financing in the future. It is likely that Paypal will be listed directly after a period of development. In the next two or three years, its market value will be more than 5 billion dollars. If it is listed, it is likely to exceed 10 billion. Then we will The shares in Li can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of dollars at least. ”
Peter Thiel said: ”the key is whether eBay will agree, what do I need to do here?”
