Yahoo CEO Yang Reaches Out to Microsoft's Ballmer

摘要

Yahoo Inc. CEO Jerry Yang publicly turned to Microsoft Corp. for help last week, just hours after Google Inc. walked away from a proposed search advertising partnership with his company. Speaking at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, Yang said that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer can just say the word and he will begin negotiating the sale of his company. "I would say that the best thing for Microsoft to do is to buy Yahoo," he said. In fact, Yang said Yahoo is willing to sell itself for less than the Microsoft offer it rejected last spring.
