Fight to the third generation

New York Plaza Hotel, across the street from Central Park.

In the 80s, the "Plaza Agreement", which suddenly made the Japanese who lived a good life stupid, was negotiated in this hotel.

Later, it was bought by the famous local real estate tycoons Trump and Trump. A few years ago, this guy almost went bankrupt and was even restricted by the bank for consumption. Therefore, this hotel was transferred to the hands of a Saudi prince and had just been renovated.

Standing in the room at night, looking at the dimly lit Central Park, even if Su Yehao couldn't sleep, he didn't have the courage to go in for a stroll.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, walking in the park in New York was like dancing on the tip of a knife. They had just sent Miss Vera home by themselves, and chatted about the girl's future by the way.

According to Su Yehao's idea.

Instead of developing in Europe and America, Villa should return to Asia.

Her family's gallery is located in Las Vegas, Hong Kong City and other places, which can help to promote publicity, and there is no shortage of white girls who can draw in Europe and the United States, but with her appearance and talent, she can easily become famous in Asia.

Among other things, just taking a few photos of her little face will make a bunch of Japanese nerds kneel down first. It is so delicate that it looks like it has come out of a comic, and it is enough to dominate all comic exhibitions.

As someone who came from the 21st century, Su Yehao has been influenced by photo editing and plastic surgery for a long time, and his aesthetics are so vicious.

For example, most of the popular female stars of TVB in Hong Kong, in his eyes, are of passer-by level. The Hong Kong sisters in the past two years have made him deeply doubt whether the judges have collected other people's money in private , There are some girls on the street who are much prettier than Ms. Hong Kong.

Compared with pure appearance and figure, Miss Hong Kong also values ​​family background, relationship, etc. If this is the case, the result will definitely not be satisfactory.

But Ms. Vera, she is really exquisite. If she bears the title of "Genius Girl Painter" and has her family's network resources in Las Vegas and Hong Kong City, it will not be a big problem to get a bit of fame.

It's just that she hasn't graduated yet, so she hasn't thought about it that far for the time being, she just wants to take a look around while she's young, anyway, the family doesn't lack the money to sell paintings...

……

The mattress of the Plaza Hotel is a bit soft, but the resilience is quite good.

After a night of sleep, my back hurts a bit.

Accompanied by the radiant Yin Liuli early in the morning, he went directly to the airport to get on the plane. When he took off, he saw the landmarks of the World Trade Center Twin Towers from a distance. Su Yehao really couldn't figure out whether they would collapse in this life.

Due to his influence, a number of companies have sprung up in Silicon Valley in the past two years. The names are likely to be the same as Google's wonderful "anti-links", which have directly changed their taste and are difficult to distinguish.

Considering that Su Yehao would never be able to earn all the money by himself, he only wanted to pick something easy to invest in, so it didn't have much impact.

I met with people from Goldman Sachs yesterday.

Someone asked him if he wanted to transfer Yahoo shares to the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund of the United Arab Emirates at a premium of about 10%. It is said that these white-robed local tyrants in the Middle East have recently admired the largest Internet companies. Compared with start-up companies, they have already succeeded companies are more secure.

This reminded Su Yehao that it would probably be easier to sell his stocks to these sovereign funds in batches when necessary.

He holds 4.88% of the shares in Yahoo. The influx of so many stocks into the market will inevitably have an impact on Yahoo's stock price, but there is no such concern in the public-to-public transfer.

Therefore, he didn't say he wouldn't sell it, but said that he didn't want to sell it recently, and that he would find a buyer from Goldman Sachs to take over.

Also.

Su Yehao also got a new piece of news from Goldman Sachs.

As he flapped his wings, some things have changed, but some things have not. The shareholders of Time Warner, the famous American media giant, seem to still have their eyes on the Internet media and Internet service provider-AOL Group.

A huge tragedy seems to be about to start again. The business opportunities here are not small. If you have time, it is worth studying. However, there are too many opportunities to make money in the short term, which has already dazzled Su Yehao, so for the time being, I just hold on to eating melons. hilarious attitude...

Departure at [-]:[-] on the east coast.

When I arrived at the San Francisco airport, it was [-]:[-] am on the west coast.

Back to Silicon Valley by car, the white-tailed deer in the yard of the Atherton villa blocked Su Yehao's car. These deer have been raised for so long, and there are two more of them. They have no worries about natural enemies and food. They are busy making deer all day long. That's called leisure.

They were originally artificially raised deer, and the yard of more than 8000 square meters is barely enough for activities.

On the night of Christie's auction, Yang Zhiyuan asked Su Yehao to contact him for dinner after he came back.

However, Su Yehao now intends to expand his search engine business and sell all Yahoo shares in the second half of the year, so he decided to keep a little distance from him, so as not to cause trouble and offend others.

Without contacting Yang Zhiyuan, he first went to KOKO Venture Capital to find out about the latest new trends.

Let Yin Liuli rest at home and go out to Sandhill Road, where venture capital companies are everywhere. Compared with the last time I came here, the number of financial investment institutions on this street seems to be a bit more. There are not enough parking spaces nearby, and the roadsides are full. got the car.

The people who called KOKO Venture Capital had a meeting, during which they accidentally heard someone report that a Chinese man named Jack Ma went to the company to find financing yesterday.

Since Su Yehao had told them to focus on the entrepreneurial projects on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the business manager who really had nothing to say to Su Yehao brought this matter up.

In the past six months, KOKO Venture Capital has not raised many financing projects.

This is due to Su Yehao's lack of cash flow, the funds have already been invested, so they can only look for some small start-up companies, mainly investing in angel rounds and A rounds.

The B round and C round cost a lot of money. Considering this time point, Su Yehao didn't dare to invest too much money. He was afraid that the stock price would collapse first before the original stock lock-up period passed, and finally fall into his own hands.

I accidentally heard this long-lost name from the white manager.

Sitting at the conference table, Su Yehao was taken aback for a moment, wondering why this big boss came to Silicon Valley.

It was only March of 1999.

If there is no accident, Jack Ma should have just focused on e-commerce. JD Dong’s brother is still selling discs in Zhongguancun, and Du Niang’s Hong brother is either working in Silicon Valley, or he has been frightened by the TOT search engine in the mainland. , At a loss for the way ahead.

As for Yinhai, Leibus is working diligently to manage the company for Su Yehao.

As for Penguin's President Ma, who is estimated to be earning an annual salary of more than [-] RMB, in the TAT headquarters in Pengcheng, he has a headache on how to learn from and develop new online games to repay Su Yehao's kindness.

The fate of these gangsters has undergone a huge change because of Su Yehao.

At this moment.

Su Yehao smiled and said:

"Yes, you can make a call now and ask, if this Jack Ma is still in Silicon Valley, let him come to see me."

……

Chapter 489

Because of Su Yehao, the development speed of the mainland Internet in this world is relatively faster.

Others don't scatter eagles when they don't see rabbits.

But he was different, he hadn't seen the rabbit yet, but he knew it would definitely appear, so he sent the eagle out ahead of time.

When there were only hundreds of thousands of Internet users in the mainland, he started to deploy as early as 1997, and invested more than 3 million yuan one after another.

This figure does not seem to be much. If you go to participate in the auction and get two pieces of residential land, you will be gone. However, the Internet in the Mainland is just in its infancy, and the amount of money is already considerable. It is not a problem to support several Internet companies.

The valuation of Yinhai Network Group, which has been developed for many years, is currently only about [-] million yuan, while TAT and TOT occupy a very high market share, and spend a lot of money on advertising. In Su Yehao's original words, this is called " warm up".

Advertise in advance to let potential users know about his products. Once they really come into contact with the Internet, they will not be unfamiliar with his company's products.

This kind of warm-up activity has been started since last year, and the advertising film invested and shot is one of them. In addition, it has also gone deep into first- and second-tier cities and major schools to carry out publicity and promotion activities, allowing TAT and TOT to enter the school computer room for Students learn to use.

The money is spent, and the effect is definitely there.

Some elementary school students who have just been exposed to the Internet, probably do not have a computer at home, and have little opportunity to surf the Internet, but they first registered for a TAT instant chat account.

Although these accounts are definitely not active, it is not certain that they will become active accounts someday in the future.

By spending money, all potential competitors are firmly pressed to death on the beach in one fell swoop, and they have a super high market share. Of course, this money is well spent.

TAT's technology is of the same origin as the upcoming TVT, and TOT has also reached a cooperation with Google, using some new algorithms and technologies for reference to provide users with better services.

Now when surfing the Internet in the Mainland, the commonly used software is almost inseparable from the products in Su Yehao's hands.

It was in this situation that Jack Ma had the idea of ​​entering the e-commerce trend in advance, and came to Silicon Valley to seek start-up funds. This former boss has no money now, so he really started with a PPT, and the rest It all depends on eloquence to fool people.

The result can be imagined.

I have been wandering around the road where KOKO Venture Capital is located for a few days. With the help of the gimmick of Huaxia Emerging Market, I met with nearly twenty investors, big and small. No one promised to invest money in him, but took him as a liar look at.

Jack Ma is an ambitious person. Some time ago, he led a team to develop for others, and the more he worked, the more boring he felt.

This time, he spent huge sums of money to buy air tickets to come to Silicon Valley. It may be that he intended to fight with his back. He had just resigned from public office and returned to Lin'an with a dozen of his subordinates who were willing to follow him, giving the employees a vacation.

The reason why I came to Silicon Valley was because I was fooled by the hype outside. I felt that as long as the idea is good enough, I can win a start-up capital with the entrepreneurial idea like other rumored successful people in Silicon Valley.

However, the fact is that no one paid attention to him after he came to Silicon Valley.

When he was staying in a small hotel, he accidentally received a call from the staff of KOKO Venture Capital, asking him to meet at the company within half an hour.

Jack Ma trembled all over, changed his clothes immediately, and hurried downstairs, forgetting even the house key, trotting all the way, waving to the side of the road to take a taxi.

Su Yehao's butterfly wings blew a category ten hurricane in the mainland.

His existence doesn't have a big impact on Silicon Valley, but it has a great impact on Jack Ma and other bigwigs in his previous life.

Jack Ma’s entrepreneurial trajectory has obviously gone awry. Even before the company was established, he came out with PPT to yell. In his previous life, he was able to successfully get the first start-up capital, mainly because he found someone who was willing to give up hundreds of thousands of dollars. The high-paying partner who works with him knows many American companies.

But this time, it was really a mouthful at the beginning, and the rest depended on pitfalls.

Jack Ma didn't even have any local acquaintances this time, neither relationship nor connections. If it wasn't for his good English, if he was replaced by someone like Leibus, he might not even be able to find Beibei when he came to Silicon Valley...

That's probably the background.

In the conference room of KOKO Venture Capital, Su Yehao casually asked Mr. Ma to come, and continued to lie there comfortably with Erlang's legs crossed, and had a meeting with the employees in front of him.

If it weren't for Yanwen Group's upcoming listing, he would like to say that the market is too hot, and everyone will stop for a while and continue to shrink their business as much as possible. However, if such words are spread, they will definitely ask for trouble.

So he listened to the reports of the employees, talking about the so-called hot projects.

He was just careless, pushing back and forth, not saying anything, but showing his position with practical actions.

Unless he encounters a super hot topic like Google, he really doesn't plan to invest more in other projects. At this point in time, the entrepreneurs spend more money and take less shares, and the entrepreneurs are very arrogant. There is a kind of "even if you don't give Money, others will rush to give it.” Meaning.

Wait patiently and wait until the cold winter to save a lot of money.

Wouldn’t it be much more exciting to pick random good projects everywhere? That’s a good time for the KOKO venture capital team to play a role.

When Jack Ma arrives.

No one informed Su Yehao, because the secretary thought it was unnecessary.

Su Yehao thought he hadn't arrived yet, but after the meeting, he suddenly saw the young President Ma from the rest area, and he was immediately happy.

Mr. Ma is only in his 30s now, with a [-]-[-] hairstyle and a baggy suit. He is already thin and thin, which makes him look a little strange.

Saying hello to everyone around him, Su Yehao walked towards him, stretched out his hand from a long distance, and said in Mandarin:

"Jack Ma, right? I've heard your name in the Mainland before, but I didn't expect to meet you in Silicon Valley. The hospitality is not good, and you have been waiting for a long time."

How could Jack Ma not know Su Yehao, a man of the hour.

I just feel that such a big boss, not only doesn't show his sharpness like other young people, but also has no airs, and a hint of goodwill emerges immediately.

He smiled and said to Su Yehao: "It's okay, I just came here too. I have admired you for a long time. Mr. Su's business in Silicon Valley is really magnificent. I have seen many of your companies in the past few days, and your Mandarin is so good. I am really sorry to delay your meeting. .”

"Just finished, my family often does business in the Mainland, so it is inevitable that I have to learn Mandarin. I have a little bit of talent in languages."

After Su Yehao shook hands with him, they went to the office together after the simple greetings.

Although Su Yehao doesn't deal with business much, there are quite a few offices belonging to him, from casinos to Hong Kong cities to the mainland and Silicon Valley, they are everywhere, and they are all brand new.

Ask the assistant to make tea.

After sitting down, Su Yehao asked with a smile: "Pengcheng and Sijiucheng both have my company, why did I come to Silicon Valley? I just came back from New York today. If I'm not lucky, I might not be able to meet you."

Ma Yun was silent for a few seconds, and said in his mouth: "I have been there... But it didn't work out. Mr. Su is always busy, so he will definitely not pay attention to such trivial matters."

Accidentally exposed scars.

Not only was Su Yehao not embarrassed, but he found it interesting, so he skipped the topic after a haha, and continued to ask him:

"So what is Mr. Ma doing recently? When I went to Sijiu City for dinner, I heard that you have experience in setting up websites in the commercial sector. I thought I would contact you when I had time and ask if you would like to work with me. Companies like TOT and TAT are not making any money now, and they want to learn from Amazon and eBay and develop into e-commerce, and they can invest [-] to [-] million RMB in the initial stage.”

"..."

Jack Ma was stunned on the spot when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "I've been working on this recently, did it collide with your company's project?!"

"Huh? Are you also trying to do this?"

Su Yehao pretended not to know, and then said: "I bought more than 1 million US dollars of Amazon shares before, and the increase has been very good. I have been evaluating projects since last year, and I am considering investing in e-commerce in the Mainland. Is Mr. Ma interested? Come and help me." I'm busy..."

Chapter 490 The Son of Fortune

After listening to Su Yehao finish.

Jack Ma's heart almost reached his throat.

This kind of feeling is probably the same as the girl I have a crush on, who is suddenly targeted by Gao Fushuai, and there is a huge gap between myself and this Gao Fushuai, and I don't even see the slightest possibility of success.

In an instant, there was nothing but disheartened, feeling that the future was bleak.

Just now, on the way here.
