Fight to the third generation

three days later.

Already from offshore, saw big carp.

Papa Su finished calling with a satellite phone, and learned that Lao Wang was on a construction site in another place, so he didn't stay long, found a pier to dock, and continued to set off by car.

After being rocked on the boat for a long time, even the car ride is very comfortable, which makes people feel happy physically and mentally. I stayed in Shenyang for one night, looking for a place to eat roasted whole lamb and drink beer.

Their whereabouts alarmed many people, and there were a few waves of guests who came without warning on the way, which was called enthusiasm.

Papa Su directly opened another table. He had a good drink that night, and threw up the next day. He didn't continue to set off until after lunch. Because the road was icy, he took the train instead.

A group of hosts have all helped to arrange ten people from the four institutes to escort and follow...

Chapter 859 Ice and Snow World

The train soft sleeper has been specially packed.

There was a faint smell of 84 disinfectant water in the compartment, and the mattresses and bedding were replaced with new ones.

The cold wave has hit recently, and there are basically snow scenes along the way. There are heaters in the car, otherwise it will freeze people to death.

The speed of the old-fashioned train is not comparable to that of the high-speed rail, and it is not equipped with air-conditioning. After Nangongtian went to the bathroom, she seemed to be out of her body when she came back, and began to doubt life. It was too cold.

After blowing his nose, Father Su wrapped the quilt tightly and told:

"I was wrong. In the winter, you should go to Sanya for a seaside vacation. The place is in the tropics, and it is warmer than the winter in Las Vegas. This place is too unfriendly to us. The locals may feel that it doesn't matter when they get used to it, but We are different."

Whether it is Las Vegas or Hong Kong City, they are located in subtropical regions.

Wearing a thin sweater and a thin coat in winter is already a bow to winter. The temperature in Northeast China is twenty or thirty degrees below zero, which is really exaggerated for them.

Su Yehao bought a thick, windproof down jacket last year to go to Iceland, and now it comes in handy again. At this time, sitting by the fire and playing cards with Jiang Yu and the others, it feels okay, and he said with a smile:

"The locals have heating in their homes. As long as they don't go out, they are actually quite comfortable. The key is that we are on the road this time, and we have been tossing for too long. If we knew it earlier, we would have come here by plane. I'm afraid we have already returned."

Jiang Yu said, "That's right. I have to fly on the return trip. I don't want to freeze all the way back. My face looks like I've been cut by a knife outside. Can you find me a mask for robbers, the kind that only shows the eyes."

Nangong Tian also said, "Add one, I want it too."

Mama Tang, who was reading a book under the quilt, said at this moment: "I think it's very interesting to travel with a big family like this, and according to my experience, the more extreme the environment and climate are, the easier it is to hide beautiful nature. landscape."

Although it is cold, there is a sense of novelty.

Su Yehao suggested:

"If a small airport can be built in Changbai Mountain, there may be a market for investing in ski resorts. The tourism industry in the mainland is still mainly based on sightseeing. When the economy develops to a certain level, a large number of middle- and high-income earners will start to focus on vacations."

"That's what I said, but there is a disadvantage in the mainland. There are many people and few opportunities. Whenever there is a field that can make money, they all rush into it. In the end, everyone doesn't have much profit."

It was Papa Su who spoke, and added with a sigh:

"In Sijiucheng International Trade Center, including our home, there are four or five shopping malls that have been announced, and there are more and more shopping malls in other places around, so the pressure of competition is a bit high. Even if you invest in a resort here and cultivate your business When they come out, there will probably be one on the left, one on the right, one in the front, and one in the back..."

Su Yehao said while playing cards:

"In some foreign countries, there are few people and small markets. Some people do a certain business, but others dare not continue to invest. The tertiary industry is particularly developed. There is no shortage of job opportunities, but a shortage of labor. The mainland is different, with a population of more than one billion. There are only so many profitable industries, and the competition will inevitably be fierce. The risk of a business with a low entry threshold like a resort is indeed a little higher. Only a few months of the year are peak seasons, so wait until you are not short of money. .”

After listening to the old man, he continued to tell: "It is better to plan the King Crab Island. This thing costs billions of dollars in investment, and not many companies can afford it. After it is completed, it will be rented for hundreds of years. People lose it. It's still there, suitable for family heirloom."

"Not necessarily. The trend of global warming is obvious, and sea level rise is quite serious. It is estimated that the island will be built higher at that time, so as not to worry investors in the future and cause housing prices to fall."

……

Talked about a lot of messy topics.

After the train arrived at the station, they continued to transfer trains, and finally arrived at the hotel. The whole group was exhausted.

The grade of the hotel is average. It just opened two months ago. The advantage is that it is relatively clean and has no special features. It is about [-] kilometers away from the north slope of Changbai Mountain.

This is also the reason why Su Yehao is optimistic about the resort industry. Nowadays, the hotels in the scenic spots in the mainland are mostly just hotels, lacking the atmosphere of vacation, and there is no scenery around them, which is not interesting.

But at last you can rest.

Book the whole floor of the hotel, and go back to the room to rest for a while.

I booked a private room in the hotel, and ate chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork vermicelli, etc., and some people also came to entertain them on their own initiative, wanting to win some investment projects.

I'm afraid that the news of the Su family's father and son coming for vacation has spread quickly throughout the three eastern provinces. Otherwise, as soon as they arrive at the hotel, someone will come all the way to entertain them. It is clear that they have been prepared for a long time.

It just so happens that the Sihai International Shopping Center is expanding, so we can also talk about the construction of the shopping mall by the way.

As for Su Yehao's businesses, even if others want to attract investment, they have no way to start, lacking supporting industries and talents.

the next day.

Su Yehao and the others continued to set off, and finally saw the Tianchi Lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and also went to the forest sea covered by snow at the bottom of the valley.

The snow in this season is white and thick. During this period, we also encountered pheasants and silly roe deer.

For those ignorant guys like Bao Yajun, they have long been stunned by the world of ice and snow.

Including He Shaofan, most of the so-called inland people are Guangzhou Pengcheng and other places. Since it does not snow all year round, they have a special liking for the thick white snow. Even if they are shivering from the cold, they still like it very much.

After Bao Yajun built an extremely ugly snowman, he asked his wife to help him pat off the snow, and said with a smile: "I can't see anything from the map. After I came here, I realized that the mainland is really huge, with snow mountains, deserts, Grasslands, hills, everything is there. When I was in school, no one arranged for me to come here for a vacation trip, and I went all the way to England, Australia, etc. It’s better to come and play in the snow.”

"This idea is very good. In the future, we may be able to take students to some beautiful places with beautiful scenery through Ganghao Tourism, such as the Great Northwest Desert, Lugu Lake, Shangri-La, and places like this."

It was Jiang Yu who was talking, and her father was also a shareholder of Gang Hao Travel, so of course he was eager to find more business.

Su Yehao said in a helpless tone:

"You are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is. No one cares about the family conditions of the students of Donghuang Rose Middle School. They buy air tickets to go to Europe. Other schools, at most, go to Repulse Bay and Big Wave Bay. Speaking of it It’s just a trip, and it costs thousands of dollars to go out, so there’s no way to organize a school trip.”

Nong Qingying used to study in an ordinary school, and she heard the story and said: "I remember when I was in middle school, the school took us to travel, and we only went to Stanley and Kadoorie Farm."

After a few days of getting along, the atmosphere is pretty good.

Nangong smiled sweetly: "I have also been to that botanical garden, there are cows and parrots..."

Chapter 860 $30 Billion Series B Financing

January 2003.

Su Yehao, who left from Changbai Mountain, accompanied his father around Sijiu City, half a month passed in a flash.

On New Year's Eve at the end of the month.

Su Yehao held a charity auction about the Bauhinia Institute of Technology in the castle in the courtyard of Big Wave Bay. Almost all the rich and famous people in Hong Kong City came.

Rich businessmen from the casino also came to join in.

All kinds of luxury cars stretched from the yard to the outside of the mansion. It is no exaggeration to say that if something happened that night, more than half of the people on the rich list of Hong Kong City would be wiped out.

Su Yehao took out an emerald Maitreya brand and a bottle from the Qianlong period, which sold for a total of more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to donations from other rich people at home and abroad, a total of more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars was raised through charity auctions.

This money is only a small amount, just to add to the fun.

In addition, donations of more than 29 billion Hong Kong dollars were raised, of which Liu Ye alone accounted for 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, [-] million Hong Kong dollars from the Qu family, and [-] million Hong Kong dollars donated by Mr. Zhuang Shiping.

Several real estate developers in Hong Kong City donated a teaching building in partnership.

Seeing a group of people so active was beyond Su Yehao's expectations, and it saved him at least one billion Hong Kong dollars.

There are reporters on the scene to interview, and to leave names for good deeds.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, regarding this donation activity, the headlines of the major newspapers were swept away, and the above also followed suit. They were determined to take out the piece of land on the west side of Hong Kong Island by the sea, and try their best to cooperate with Su Yehao to complete the construction of the Bauhinia Institute of Technology .

After finishing this fundraising activity, Su Yehao stayed with the girls for a few days, and then went to Silicon Valley to personally preside over Google's B round of financing.

Google's current valuation is around $120 billion.

The plan is to raise US$30 billion. The funds will not only be used for its own development, but will also be developed or acquired by itself.

Su Yehao still remembers MSN Messenger's furious fight against Yanwen Group.

Recently, Netscape, which is controlled by AOL, finally lost to rival Microsoft, and reached a settlement agreement at a price of more than 7 million U.S. dollars. The antitrust lawsuit that has been going on for several years has finally come to an end.

Netscape would get more than $7 million from Microsoft, at the cost of abandoning the browser market and disbanding the entire company.

Of course, Su Yehao didn't want Microsoft's IE browser to dominate, so as not to rely on traffic to develop businesses such as search engines and online games.

Restricting Microsoft has almost become the consensus of Internet giants in Silicon Valley. Everyone will worry that Microsoft will seize the market with itself by relying on the traffic brought by the Windows operating system.

Including Su Yehao, they only hope that Microsoft will honestly do its operating system and office software business. It just so happens that there are rumors that Microsoft is forming a search engine development team, and its ambitions are becoming more and more powerful.

Building a Google browser has become a matter of course...

……

February NO.2003 of 20.

Su Yehao has lived in Silicon Valley for more than two weeks. As a master of time management, how could he miss the opportunity to get along with Yin Liuli.

Let her bring her daughter to stay here for more than ten days, as compensation for not taking her on a trip during the Christmas holiday.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning local time.

He was in Google headquarters, accompanied by other shareholders and executives, and listened to Goldman Sachs' financing arrangement, which involved a full financing of 30 billion US dollars, which was regarded as the largest financing plan in Silicon Valley in recent years.

It is said that the subscription amount has exceeded expectations. Dozens of companies, such as Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, and sovereign funds of Norway and Abu Dhabi, have come to contact us.

Besides.

He didn't forget his "friends" on the east coast, and he specially asked people to sell it in Washington, saying that this is an excellent opportunity, and it will be listed directly after two to three years of holding.

Although it was not stated clearly, basically everyone knew that this was an act of goodwill by Su Yehao, and he was very active in the subscription.

Doing business in the United States has its own set of default rules. Many fancy things can only be seen from Hollywood movies and TV series, and you will only believe it when your head is wet.

Last year, the Yanwen Group spent more than 6000 million US dollars in "consulting fees" alone, successfully slowing down the development of MSN Messenger and causing it to be investigated for its acquisition of AOL's business. The hearing has not yet ended.

If it weren't for the huge extra expenses to compete for development opportunities, Yanwen Group's profit last year could have been even higher.

At this moment.

Elvis, the head of Goldman Sachs, standing in front of a whiteboard, scribbling and drawing, told:

"There is a question now. More than one potential investor asked how we plan to deal with the impact of Microsoft. I have asked someone to investigate. Although Microsoft's search engine business has just started, it is expected to be launched in half a year to a year. market……"

Su Yehao sat lazily on the main seat. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and shook his fingers, interrupting the other party and saying:

"I think you got the concept wrong. When people use IE browser, what they care about is not the browser itself, but the search engine is the key point. Google will soon develop its own browser and provide users with easy installation. services, which can instead increase user bonding and introduce some new features.”

A local tyrant in white robes present was named Omar.

It was the one who sold the shares of Apple to Su Yehao, who represented the Saudi Kingdom Holding Company.

Because he was optimistic about Google before, Omar had spent money to buy about 3.6% of Google shares from other shareholders, so he was eligible to be invited to the meeting today.

After Su Yehao finished speaking, Omar agreed:

"Yes, IE browser itself is very simple, I have always wanted a more advanced browser, if you want to recruit the Netscape team, I can help. It's only raising $30 billion, I ask Friends of Saudi Arabia can easily take these shares."

Kingdom Holdings itself represents the interests of many rich people in Saudi Arabia. The recovery trend of Nasdaq has been quite obvious, and Google's performance is particularly good. The investment value is undoubtedly very attractive.

By now, no one doubts that it can't be the next Yahoo, and even has a chance to do better than Yahoo.

Su Yehao smiled at Mr. Omar and said:

"You should be clear that my purpose of asking Google to raise funds is not just to raise funds itself. I can completely use the priority financing right. For the safety of the company and to diversify the equity structure, I will give up part of the equity, so introduce more powerful Shareholders are more critical."

Omar has been in Silicon Valley for so many years, and of course he also understands the importance of "sharing".

It can be said that Google's next development depends not only on the company itself, but also on how many allies are willing to help and settle the troubles it may face at any time.

In his opinion, Su Yehao has already made a lot of money through Google, and it is indeed a very wise decision to share some cakes before going public...

Chapter 861 Employee Diversity

Silicon Valley dumped a large number of companies, and now the situation is finally improving.

Under Su Yehao's protection, Google not only survived, but also lived very well.

Some non-listed companies that performed well, in order to seek financing, sacrificed their flesh to survive in the cold winter, exchanging equity for survival, and suffered heavy losses.

And Google has him as a backer, just a little bit of careful planning.

Since the Internet bubble collapsed in early March 2000, it has been steadily expanding its market share for nearly three years.

Now that funds are re-entering the market, a new wave of acquisitions and mergers is being set off in Silicon Valley. Su Yehao has been here for more than half a month, and he has heard of many who have been acquired and who have received tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in financing. example of.

His own KOKO venture capital also continued to sell. While increasing its holdings of Apple and Amazon stocks, it also raised funds to acquire some interesting companies.
