Fight to the third generation

According to the development speed of ICQ and TVT, it is not difficult to seize a big cake from them.

As for other businesses like Google, independent development is fine.

In China, another model can be adopted...

On the way back to Atherton.

Su Yehao was sitting in a bulletproof Cadillac. This car had a similar configuration to that of the butler. It was said that it would not affect his running even if it was bombed.

The space in the back row is quite spacious, he crossed his legs, and said to Yin Liuli at this moment: "I didn't expect to chat in the tavern until now, are you bored?"

"No, there are people singing all the time on the stage, it feels like listening to a concert."

Yin Liuli smiled, and then said: "Although my English is not good, you should be talking about something very important. It's rare to see you frowning and thinking about things seriously like that just now."

Su Yehao smiled and said, "Yeah, I figured out a very important thing, maybe it's worth nothing, maybe it's worth hundreds of private jets."

"...that's really important."

After Yin Liuli sighed, she didn't continue to ask, and said with a sigh:

"I feel so useless. After studying for so long, I can't even speak Cantonese well, and I have no talent for English. When I was in school, my English grades were not good. I knew that I should work harder, so I don't have to do it now. Open your eyes and go blind."

"Logically speaking, if you had learned English well, you might not have known me. The butterfly effect knows it."

"That's right, but I still think I should learn more."

Just as Yin Liuli finished speaking, Su Yehao shook his head and told:

"It's not necessary. You also said that you have no talent. You can just find a translator when you need it. Although you don't know English, your Mandarin is very good... Why are you Jiangzi? I won't allow you to be unhappy."

Listening to him learn the accent from the island, Yin Liuli was successfully amused, she also smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I usually don't speak in Jiangzi, you are very smart."

Su Yehao held her hand and told:

"Right, you may think that being able to speak English is good, but there are also many Hong Kong people who like your soft accent, such as me. The girls in Hong Kong are careless, and normal chatting will seem like arguing, but you really should Learn more Cantonese, otherwise life will be inconvenient."

Yin Liuli has already settled in Las Vegas, but due to language barriers, she couldn't even make friends.

After studying for a period of time, the situation has improved a lot, and normal daily communication is no problem.

After returning home.

Yin Liuli decided to put down her work in Xiaolou and handle some charitable work for Su Yehao's family charitable trust fund.

But Su Yehao's mind was not on this matter, so he dragged her upstairs.

Jet lag is messed up and there is no sleepiness. It is suitable to do some activities that are beneficial to the body and mind to help sleep.

Just walked up the stairs.

Life secretary Linda Yun, holding a thick stack of letters, called Su Yehao to stop, and said:

"Before I was not in Silicon Valley, many letters were not delivered in time, and many invitations have expired. Most of the letters will be sent here, and most of them are not people who are close to you, but here is a spring auction of Christie's auction house, March [-] No., the location is in San Francisco."

Su Yehao replied: "Is there any collection that is rare to see? If you have nothing to do, go and have a look."

Linda Yun said:

"Well, you take the auction catalog upstairs. If you go to participate, I will call the auction house..."

……

After taking a bath, the activity is over.

Yin Liuli was using her laptop to check the gossip in the forum.

The TV is full of English programs, so I can’t sleep left and right, so I have to find something to kill time.

Su Yehao was finally free, so he flipped through Christie's spring auctions this year. Perhaps because there are many Chinese in California, and there are many wealthy Japanese who like Chinese cultural relics, there are more porcelain calligraphy and paintings this time.

Among them, the treasure of the finale is a large Qianlong bucket color vase, which is specially marked in traditional Chinese as "Qing Qianlong bucket color Wanfu Qingshou double dragon ears large bottle". The starting price is 60 US dollars, and the estimated price is 150 million US dollars.

Even if he sees many old treasures, this bottle can make Su Yehao feel "good looking", and he will be right with him immediately.

This large bottle of Qianlong fighting colors is considered the finale among Chinese cultural relics.

Today, the international art market is still dominated by Western oil paintings. Among the auctions this time, there is Van Gogh's "Under a Stormy Sky" with a starting price of 2000 million US dollars.

Judging from the previous data in the atlas.

In 1987, Van Gogh's "Fifteen Sunflowers in a Vase" sold for $3970 million.

In 1988, "Luanweihua" sold 5390 million US dollars.

In 1990, "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" sold for $8250 million.

Just last year, "Self-Portrait Without Beard" sold for US$7150 million. Su Yehao remembered this painting. When he saw the news in the newspaper, he secretly sighed that there are so many rich people.

Whenever Van Gogh's oil paintings appear in the auction market, they always attract many wealthy people to compete for them. Except for some classic paintings that have been included in museums, the name of Van Gogh is synonymous with appreciation and preservation. Treat it as a financial product.

This is the first time Su Yehao has heard of "Under the Stormy Sky" which will be auctioned soon.

The picture looks simple, neither as famous as "Sunflower", nor as impactful as "Starry Night".

Even if this is the case, it should be easy to pay 5000 million US dollars if you focus on the word Van Gogh. The recent economic situation is relatively good.

Christie's auction will arrange the spring auction in San Francisco instead of New York like last year. It is estimated that it also has the consideration of attracting big money in Silicon Valley.

Su Yehao stared at this Van Gogh oil painting again and again, and felt that he didn't like it very much. Besides, he didn't have much cash on hand, so he didn't plan to sell it.

If it was changed to "Starry Moon Night", or "Sunflower", "Blooming Apricot Blossom", etc., even if the quotation was [-] million US dollars, he would be willing to spend the money.

But for the big Qianlong bottle, he was already ready to take it down in one fell swoop.

In terms of appreciation space alone, this bottle is bigger than Van Gogh's oil painting...

Chapter 479 Come to Google Again

When I first came to Silicon Valley, I was jet-lagged.

I didn't feel sleepy in the middle of the night, I kept watching movies at home, and I was high until three o'clock in the morning.

After watching a "Clash of Heaven and Earth", what impressed Su Yehao the most is that if Hong Kong movies keep holding on to the small cost and don't let go, the future will probably be over.

This is not to blame for those film and television companies, the main reason is that the market is small, the highest box office in the entire Hong Kong city is only 5000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars, and the nutrients in the soil are not enough.

The movie viewing market in the mainland has not developed, it is like a stagnant pool, and in the international market, there are cultural differences, so it is difficult to develop.

Those Japanese people were smarter. By buying Hollywood film and television companies, they put on wolf skins and sneaked into the wolves to find meat. Although Su Yehao could do this, it was too expensive.

Now that Xiao Nizi and Jiang Yu are busy preparing an entertainment company, his support is limited.

There are ways to save money.

The most economical and affordable way is undoubtedly to create a men's and women's group, let a group of handsome men and beautiful women sing and dance, try TV variety shows and dog blood dramas, and copy the three treasures of "car accident, amnesia, and cure".

It doesn't matter what your ability is. To select and cultivate a group of stars, firstly, you must be attractive, and secondly, you must be likable. Basically, that's enough.

If we change the Korean entertainment industry in the future, we may have a chance to make the Hong Kong entertainment industry popular for another 20 years. The ceiling of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City is too low, but it can develop towards Southeast Asia and East Asia.

South Korea's population is not large, and the export entertainment industry is doing very well.

And compared with it, Hong Kong City is now the entertainment center in Asia, and its advantages still exist, but it is a bit out of date now as the same pattern makes people boring.

The heavenly kings have gradually passed the peak period of influence, and the goddesses are also getting married and getting old.

The entire environment is going downhill, and there is an urgent need for transformation and renewal.

Before going to bed, I spent more than ten minutes to help Xiaonizi think about the development direction of the entertainment company. At the same time, I also considered asking Jiang Yu to help, take some shares and become a small proprietress, so as not to think about it when I am free.

Around four girls.

If everyone is pestering Su Yehao, then they don't have to do anything all day long, and making them a little bit busy will be conducive to a harmonious life...

I slept until eleven o'clock in the afternoon before getting up.

After going out for a seafood meal, I went to the headquarters of Yanmoji Group in the afternoon and called the executives from ICQ and TVT to have a meeting.

The content of the meeting was nothing more than the listing of the company and the troubles it faced in the short term. Everyone sat down and chatted. Many new executives saw Su Yehao, the big boss, for the first time today.

Before, I only knew that I was young, but when I saw the real deity, I realized that I was almost like a college freshman who just entered school.

As long as the company is successfully listed, everyone here can make a fortune.

Therefore, it doesn't matter what age it is. If Su Yehao can make them rich, he is a good boss. The atmosphere in the meeting is harmonious.

In general.

Among the big companies in Silicon Valley, the flow of talents is not strong.

On the one hand, it is because of competition restrictions, and on the other hand, it is also because of the establishment of an "anti-poaching alliance" among major companies in Silicon Valley.

In the early years, they dug each other too hard, and finally everyone found that they were not living a good life, the cost of labor increased a lot, and many projects lost their supervisors, and the only beneficiaries were these migrant workers.

So everyone sat down and discussed it, and gradually came to a tacit understanding. The cost of job-hopping among employees is too high. Unless there is a real opportunity, even a little salary increase may not be able to attract them to move.

This time.

ICQ and TVT merged to form Yanmoji Group to go public, and even the company's front desk, cleaning lady, security guard at the door, etc., can get a certain amount of reward shares.

Anyway, a total of 3.5% of the total share capital will be allocated to anyone. Of course, Su Yehao is willing to send a favor. Maybe after the news spreads, he can get back a few news articles praising him.

Employees become shareholders, and a new layer of bond is formed between them and the company, and the cohesion suddenly soars to the sky.

Almost everyone is a shareholder, and they are all original shares that are banned from sale. Whoever dares to drag the company back is not an enemy of other colleagues.

Earlier on ICQ, there was still a bit of a lax atmosphere.

Since it was rectified and the interests and credits were linked again, the situation has become much better recently.

The CEO of ICQ kept smiling at the meeting, one by one "boss", offering advice and suggestions for the next development, such as solving the problem of image compression technology as soon as possible.

Images are compressed for faster upload and download speeds.

It is said that this is the update that users most want to appear. Many ICQ users use the "Nearby People" function to meet with netizens offline, causing many tragedies that want to cry but have no tears.

Due to the impure motivation of knowing each other, users naturally hope that the more pictures of each other, the better. Broadband is still a niche new technology, and more efficient image compression technology can really come in handy to increase users' interest in the company's products. Sensitivity.

Anyone who can become a senior executive can be picked at random, and his academic qualifications and management experience are better than Su Yehao's.

He talks less and listens more at the meeting, and when he comes across a good suggestion, he makes a decision...

……

The auction doesn't start until seven in the evening.

After the meeting, Su Yehao was not in a hurry to go to San Francisco, but first went to the Google headquarters.

Compared with the time when we first invested last year, Google has changed a lot now. The number of employees has increased to more than 200, and we have rented two floors of office buildings.

A set of servers purchased from Oracle is worth more than 1000 million U.S. dollars. With the financial support of Su Yehao, the development speed is quite fast. A new generation of search engines is being developed, and a project for Google browser has been established, and a batch of useful ones have been acquired. small team.

Compared with the original houses, it can be called a shotgun change.

When Larry Page learned that Su Yehao was coming, he came to greet him in person at this moment. He inspected the open office area and introduced the specific tasks of each project team.

At that time, Google was acquired by Su Yehao as a whole, and only Larry Page and Sergey Brin were given some shares, which would not be diluted until Google went public.

Compared with the previous anti-link companies, the current valuation of Google has soared to about 7000 million US dollars.

These founders, how can there be any dissatisfaction.

It is enough to develop seriously, no longer need to moan and sigh all day long for some investment money, the whole person is much more relaxed, and his face is radiant.

At this moment.

Su Yehao asked: "Our side is expanding, is there any movement from Yahoo?"

Larry Page nodded and told: "Of course, they won't accept our advertisements, and they prohibit talents from jumping to us, and it affects a group of venture capital managers."

"... That's okay. Yahoo is so big, so it shouldn't pay too much attention to us for the time being. As for the funds, I'm paying for them. Those venture capital companies have no chance to invest."

Su Yehao found a computer and tried to search for the key words "San Francisco, Christie's auction". The response speed was quite fast. The first one was the official website of Christie's auction house, followed by the news about the upcoming auction tonight.

Broadband in Silicon Valley has already been rolled out, especially in the headquarters of such a technology company, it is surprising that the Internet speed will be slow.

Now the top communication technologies are all piled up here in Silicon Valley.

Google headquarters is not far from Cisco headquarters, while Qualcomm headquarters is in San Diego, California.

Last year, Su Yehao planned to visit Qualcomm, but he was too lazy to go out, so he gave up again.
