"In fact, the current Liuer Software Company does not include the operation of Liuer Browser." Zhou Shuo took out two documents and placed them in front of the two people, saying: "Before this, Liuer Browser had been placed in a newly established Liuer Internet Company, and Liuer I was placed in Liuer Network Communication Company. Liuer Software Company is actually the parent company of these two companies."

"Split it?" Mark Anderson flipped through the documents in his hand in surprise. He did not expect Zhou Shuo to do this.

"One team, two brands." Zhou Shuo nodded affirmatively and said: "Although the specific operations have not been affected, they are already two companies in legal terms."

"Why is this?" Mark Anderson asked inexplicably.

Few software companies will split the internal companies for no reason. If they have to split the company just because there are too many projects, then Microsoft will have already broken up 180 companies. On the contrary, in software engineering, resource sharing is the mainstream, and if the resource allocation is reasonable, it can often achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.

But even if a team and two brands are split, it will cause differences in cooperation in the project and weaken the company's internal strength.

"Haha, of course it's for the convenience of your two acquisitions!" Zhou Shuo said naturally: "Netview Company is worried about the threat of Liuer browser, while Microsoft hopes to gain access to the Internet market."

"So, can we actually acquire these two companies separately?" Mark Anderson suddenly realized.

Zhou Shuo nodded and smiled, "In this way, you don't have to fight and grab it anymore. I think Netjing won't have any more prospects for the Im market now, right?"

Mark Anderson's face froze when he heard this. In fact, he was still a little coveted about the Im market. Unfortunately, the situation was stronger than that of others. Netscape said something bold in the current situation. That was the picture that made people laugh.

"Where is Microsoft, I can guarantee that you will get most of the shares of Liuerim. But accordingly, I ask Microsoft to increase its cross-stakes to 5%. " Zhou Shuo turned his head and said to James.

"5%, I need to reconfirm Bill this." James said cautiously.

Zhou Shuo nodded, which was the right meaning in the question. Converting to Microsoft's current stock price, this is already a business worth over one billion. Even if Bill agrees, it will definitely take a long negotiation.

However, he was not in a hurry. Microsoft really established the supreme dominance of the software industry and had to wait for Windows 98. With the development momentum of Liuer I, the later Bill made up his mind, the greater the price he would pay.

"I can transfer the shares of Liuer Internet Company to you 60%." Zhou Shuo negotiated with Mark Anderson and James at the same time, but he was not panicked at all: "But I want Mr. Anderson to 20% of the shares of Netview Company in your hands."

"What's in my hand?" Mark Anderson was stunned and pointed at himself and said, "As long as it is a share in Netscape Company, isn't it enough? There is no need to specify the source, right?"

According to Mark Anderson's plan, the cross-holding shares are of course based on the company's additional shares. According to the existing shares, the amount of shares he lost was less than 10%.

"Give me 20% of NetView's shares, and you 60% of Liuer Internet Company's shares." Zhou Shuo shook his head stubbornly and said, "Or Mr. Anderson feels that one day, he will be forced to be desperate by the investors and executives of NetView's companies like he is now?"

After Zhou Shuo said this, Mark Anderson immediately fell into deep thought. The founder and capital will never be harmonious forever. Countless examples have proved that capital will never talk about human feelings when it occurs. Just like the dilemma of Netscape Company today, isn’t it capital that forces him into a desperate situation?

And if he can obtain 60% of the shares of Liuer Internet Company, then he can advance and attack and defend in Netscape Company. If Netscape Company really has something to do, then he still has a way out.

Similarly, Mark Anderson also thought of the meaning behind Zhou Shuo's request.

Once he loses 20% of Netscape's shares, Oran Clark, as the capital party, will immediately become the largest shareholder. If he wants to compete with the capital party, he must pull Zhou Shuo to form an alliance. Correspondingly, if he does not have the dominant advantage in Netscape, then the retreat of Liuer Internet Company will become more important.

About 20% of the shares were given out. I was afraid that I would have to be in charge of Zhou Shuo's cooperation everywhere.

This rigorous plan and the right calculation made Mark Anderson shocked. It would be fine if both parties cooperated and understood. If he had some bad thoughts, he would have invited a master to come back and offer him!

But if you don’t agree, you can’t say this sentence in your mouth. If it weren’t for the end of your life, he wouldn’t have appeared here. Although Zhou Shuo’s bargaining was a little higher, he still kept his position as Ceo.

Mark Anderson is not the kind of person who has special ideals and persistence, otherwise he would not have taken the lead in selling Netscape's stock when the situation is not good under Microsoft's offensive. Although he knew that such a decision was to quench his thirst, he had to agree.

"This, okay." Mark Anderson nodded slowly and said, "I hope to sign a share conversion agreement as soon as possible, preferably within this week."

Zhou Shuohan nodded with a smile and said, "No problem. I will arrange for Ms. Yu Qiong, general manager of Liuer Software Company, to conduct specific negotiations with Mr. Anderson."

"One hundred million US dollars in cash, plus 5% of Microsoft shares. Liuer Network Communications Company is also 60% of the shares." Zhou Shuo turned his head and looked at James and confirmed again.

James did not engage in more trouble in this regard. He could not make a decision on the cross-holding ratio, and only Bill himself could make an idea in this regard. However, even so, there are still many things that need to be confirmed in the negotiations.

"I want to know what resources does Liuer Software have as the parent company after the two subsidiaries have been acquired for more than half of their shares?" James confirmed.

Zhou Shuo glanced at him meaningfully and nodded, "In fact, whether it is Liuer Internet Company or Liuer Network Communication Company, they are essentially operating companies. The main technical forces of the two, such as their development teams and core intellectual property rights, are still under the control of Liuer Software Company."

James knew that he had reached the point, so he continued to ask: "So, as the head office's Liuer Software Company, will it license the technology to other organizations outside the subsidiary?"

"The head office will authorize the technology to the subsidiary. As for whether the subsidiary will authorize the technology to other organizations, that is another matter."

Zhou Shuo's original intention is to separate Liuer Software from specific operational affairs. Looking at the next twenty years, localization of software and the Internet has always been a very difficult issue. It is very difficult for Chinese local software companies to go international. Even if they can export and earn foreign exchange, they mainly rely on outsourcing. Even Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba, the three Internet troikas, have made no progress in internationalization.

Twenty years later, Tencent's market value was more than 100 billion yuan, but its international version did not have much market share at all. Baidu finally launched a Japanese version, but there was no news later. Alibaba's desire to counterattack the United States is still far away.

But on the other hand, look at Google's experience in China. These international super companies will not be able to get along well with their strong capital and technical strength. Even if there is a reason for the river crab wall, the original versions of Facebook and Twitter have not stood firm in China. With Yahoo's strong capital, they have never competed for local portals. Not to mention that the international MSN, which is a big hit in the world, cannot shake the Penguin's territory at all.

Localized operation has always been a very difficult problem. Zhou Shuo's Liuer Im and Liuer browsers may be able to gain some advantages in the early stages with their pioneering and uniqueness. But he was not sure if he really wanted to operate it for a long time.

Based on these lessons, Zhou Shuo finally decided to let Liuer Software Company shrink completely in the United States and hand over specific operational affairs to powerful American natives. As long as Liuer Software Company masters the technology, it can naturally collect IQ tax freely.

The key here is the ability to master technological development. In this regard, no other person in the world can match Zhou Shuo.

Of course, whether it is Netscape or Microsoft, proud Americans will not think that Chinese people can always be ahead of them in terms of technology. A technical hero may be able to create a miracle, but as long as Americans watch you and are ready to compete with you seriously, no one will feel that the technical team of Liu'er Software Company, which is mainly Chinese, still has the opportunity to be technologically advanced.

James heard that he would license the current technology to his subsidiary and would not limit the power of the subsidiary to the outside authorization, so he had no intention of being picky. He nodded, stood up and said, "Mr. Bill is still waiting for my news, so I won't waste my time here."

Zhou Shuo sent him to the door enthusiastically. James glanced at Mark Anderson indifferently, turned around and walked out of the reception room of Liuer Software Company.

Mark Anderson did not have too many requirements for technical authorization. Without the disaster of overturn, his pride and confidence were back. This pride of heaven believed that as long as Netjing could seize the opportunity to breathe through this breath, victory would still belong to him.
