March 1, 2008

Time of Beijing of dispatch of Tecent science and technology on March 1 message, according to foreign media coverage, from the Xiang Yahu at the beginning of the month on Microsoft the board of directors is given out since buying a request, already will be bought by Microsoft in April last year before Mike McCue of grave of wheat of Michael of author of combination of Tellme of speech technology company does not have Yang Zhiyuan of as presiding as Yahoo apparitor to pass a telephone call all the time, but look in Mai Qiu, after actually Tellme or other company are bought by Microsoft, the time also can pass well all the same. Probably his view will be right Yang Zhiyuan can have some of referenced value.

Tellme founded 1999 with other by Mai Qiu, before be bought by Microsoft, it is a blame that has by the investor such as employee and venture capital appears on the market company. 2004, tellme begins profit. Mai Qiu the idea at that time is, tellme will continue to hold independent position henceforth, will undertake publicity IPO of raise capital by floating shares first in appropriate time at the same time. However last year spring, steve Ballmer of silent of Ball of presiding apparitor Steve expresses Microsoft, hope and wheat grave hold a talk. During the talk, xiang Maiqiu of Bao Er silent is affirmatory, after Microsoft buys Tellme, will still withhold latter to be in the agency of Silicon Valley, brand and company culture.

Brand still changeless

Mai Qiu of 40 years old agrees finally this year, grant Tellme carry out with 800 million dollar Microsoft. Trade in this 2007 4 after finishing, mai Qiu takes up the post of general manager of Microsoft Tellme branch. Mai Qiu expresses, in 10 the middle of a month after Tellme is bought by Microsoft, he does not regret at the outset offer a decision, “We are daily operation and development still follow same before — just workload is bigger than before. ” now year on Feburary 1, hair of board of directors went to Microsoft Xiang Yahu buying should make an appointment with, express to hope to buy latter with 44.6 billion dollar. On Feburary 11, yahoo board of directors rejected Microsoft request formally, say Microsoft bade underestimated Yahoo real value. Since in those days, microsoft buys Yahoo to planned to be immersed in deadlock.

Microsoft buys the bade of Tellme to be 800 million dollar only, and the day value that gave 44.6 billion dollar to Yahoo newspaper, probably these two buy do not have between the case can compare a gender. Analytic personage says, after Microsoft buys Yahoo, stem from business amalgamative need, may carry out to Yahoo cut down the member of persons employed considerably; Since Tellme is bought by Microsoft, its employee sum total also is added only reach 360. Although both difference is bigger, but anyhow, the case that Tellme is bought makes clear probably, after Microsoft buys Yahoo, can fulfil the commitment that its preserve Yahoo brand, employee and company culture.

Large tree is good enjoy the cool

At present the office environment of Tellme reachs operation kind, with before be being bought by Microsoft, do not have how old difference. Caplener represents the offer of Sara card Pu Lun that holds a post in Tellme all the time: “Before be bought by Microsoft, we fear the future of the company develops a little.

Of course, microsoft headquarters also can come to Tellme to inspect the job before active group person now and then. Be like during last year August, microsoft president builds Ci than Er ever ” drive presence greatly ” , develop group have an informal discussion with Tellme technology several hours. Microsoft headquarters bearer makes Tellme employee people feel, oneself also are in for Microsoft everybody a group of things with common features makes contribution. Tellme employee skin cheats that division Peter Monaco to say especially: “We feel, tellme cannot leave Microsoft already, microsoft also cannot lack Tellme. Microsoft also cannot lack Tellme..

Laugh at enemy of die out favour

Actually with Mai Qiu look from already all previous, he daydreams also won’t think of to grant Tellme carry out Microsoft. Before founding Tellme 1999, mai Qiu always is held the position of extremely red vice president of temporarily technology of company of communication of Netscape net scene. Because see Netscape browser at the summit of one’s power, microsoft took the step that binds IE browser in Windows operating system, squeeze Netscape completely thereby a market. This shows, as the veteran of Netscape, mai Qiu does not wish naturally to see Tellme be bought by Microsoft.

But Mai Qiu also is the person with open breadth of mind. He expresses, above all, oneself are crowded to Microsoft break down the dissatisfaction of Netscape be related disappears already danger; Next, oneself hope to deepen the understanding to Microsoft; Again, before be bought by Microsoft, tellme also ever invite applications for a job the employee before a few Microsoft. Not only such, ba Kesi of presiding apparitor Jim amounts to Er Jim Barksdale to also express before Netscape, oneself won’t object granting Tellme carry out Microsoft. Bakesidaer is one of investor when Tellme is founded, he says: “I now is Microsoft ‘ vermicelli made from bean starch ‘ , this company is good, sell Tellme to it affirmation has an outlook more. Sell Tellme to it affirmation has an outlook more..

The person falls in eave

The manner change photograph with the person such as Mai Qiu, Bakesidaer is compared, microsoft still fails to pull Yahoo CEO Yang Zhiyuan to conference table to come round at present. Microsoft is alluded before this, if Yang Zhiyuan is determined to reject Microsoft to buy a request, will not hesitate the war that starts dealership, it is namely before March 14 the person selected that one-sided puts forward to enter Yahoo board of directors.

Mai Qiu expresses, it is better to unless Yahoo can be reached one case,bid than Microsoft trade, otherwise Yang Zhiyuan will be forced to sit to exchange views together with Baoermo buy matters concerned, “Any entrepreneur that gain a success, final must long-term development of overall consideration company, employee and partner people interest.
