Fight to the third generation

"Uncle Jiang, don't get me wrong. Although the electricity consumption of the casino in the future should be much higher than it is now, such as street lights, home appliances, casino hotels, and my King Crab Island, etc., the casino power company The appreciation potential of the company is still very limited, and it will double if it dies. The reason why I plan to buy it is mainly because I want to build a wind farm on the sea. By the way, the comprehensive promotion of electric vehicles is equivalent to a business card."

After listening to him.

Master Jiang suddenly realized, and said with a smile:

"Let me just say, you are definitely not going for the casino power company itself. Even if you invest the money in the hotel, it is more profitable than it now. There are an endless stream of mainland tourists, and all the hotels under the company are full. Investment and acquisition A hotel can recover all its capital in about six or seven years."

Hearing that Master Jiang still wanted to buy a new hotel, Su Yehao replied calmly:

"Currently tourists are not familiar with Hong Kong City, and they like to travel in groups. In the future, most tourists will choose to travel independently. Taking advantage of the company's good performance, it can be listed for a fortune, and the mainland's tourism companies are gradually developing. I am afraid that the business will come to fruition within a few years."

Having talked about similar topics before, Mr. Jiang knew it well, wrote the word "happy" on his face, and said:

"I understand that I have seldom worried about Hong Kong luxury tourism business recently. I am mainly busy with real estate in the mainland. Your father brought me to know many people. Last time he went to Guangzhou to take pictures of a piece of land, a total of more than 700 mu. Enough for me to develop for a long time."

Mr. Jiang's real estate business in the mainland is going very smoothly, and the second phase of the house that was launched before has also been swept away.

In the market, some buyers have already tasted the taste of developers running away or unfinished products, and more are cutting corners, and there have even been rumors of using bamboo instead of steel bars, which has scared many buyers.

And Mr. Jiang was a Hong Kong businessman and had a close relationship with Su Yehao. People believed that he would not violate his conscience to earn the three melons and two dates in their hands, so he successfully stood out and attracted the attention of many house buyers.

Su Yehao's rise was too fast.

As a result, some of his early layouts were thought to be more important, but now they seem dispensable.

For example, Hong Kong Hao Tourism Group, although they can earn money every year, they have a lot of troubles, and they earn hard money.

If you sell it as a whole now and invest the cash from the cash in other places, you will probably be able to earn more. The biggest bonus period has already been caught by Su Yehao, and the rest are just leftovers , so he suggested to go public.

In fact, it should have gone public last year.

However, due to SARS and other reasons, the tourism industry in Hong Kong City has been affected, so it is not a good time to enter the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The performance of the Hang Seng Index this year is quite good, and it has been recovering and rising since the beginning of the year.

The two of them were chatting in the living room, and Jiang Yu came to join in the fun.

She touched her belly from a long distance, and reminded, "There are pregnant women here, you two actually smoke cigars?"

I just found out that I was pregnant, and the excitement has not passed. In fact, Jiang Yu's belly has not changed at all since she was pregnant for more than a month.

Master Jiang, who laughed so hard from ear to ear, immediately said:

"Okay, okay! You are amazing, we go to the yard to smoke, so it won't affect you, right? Your mother and I were so happy when we received the call in the morning. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

Su Yehao shook his head: "I don't know yet, it's the same for boys and girls. I asked Jiang Yu to be a member of the family trust supervision committee. Has she mentioned it to you?"

"...Talking briefly, you donate so much assets whenever you want? Although the Americans have been playing for many years, it may be my old antique. I always feel a little weird."

Master Jiang said.

The so-called weirdness refers to the transfer of assets from the personal name to the family charitable trust foundation.

Although it is still managed by Su Yehao for a long time, it is no longer owned by him in name. It seems to be the same thing, but there is a subtle difference.

Su Yehao explained:

"Left-handed and right-handed, it's still the same thing. When the tax reform is completed in the casino, I will put the trust fund's registration in the casino. Chatting at home, I won't hide anything from you. Regarding the robber genes in Europe and the United States, I will I have always had a deep fear that if their interests are touched in the future, they may do everything to me, so it is impossible for me to put my assets in the British Cayman Islands or the British Bermuda Islands .”

Master Jiang expressed his understanding of this, and took it for granted that in such a huge amount of assets, his grandson or granddaughter will own a share in the future. Subconsciously, he began to eat carrots and worry less, nodded and said:

"That's right, don't care about the European Union or Australia or Canada, you can make your own decisions on small things, and only listen to the United States on big things. Over the years, no one has come to a good end if they are taken care of by the United States. Compared with continuing to make more money, Ahao, you should focus on stability and safety, and it is indeed safer to put it in the casino, at least under your own nose, it is impossible to be suppressed casually, or even frozen."

In normal business, profit is the most important thing, while family trust is safety first.

Looking around the world, it can be seen that the gambling city is stable and harmonious, and it is a rare pure land. Except for some problems of relatively high taxes, it is indeed suitable as a base camp.

The food is on the table, let's eat first.

At a glance, there are baked lobster in sauce, char siew in honey sauce, soft-boiled abalone, chicken wing stew, etc., plus a few home-cooked dishes.

There's no need to be too polite, after thanking Jiang Yu's mother, eat with chopsticks first...

Chapter 960 Silicon Valley

I drank a lot of wine with Mr. Jiang.

After returning home, there was no dream until dawn.

the next day.

I have nothing to do during the day, and work at home in the morning. By the way, I called a professional team to clean the outdoor swimming pool. The weather is hot enough to go into the water.

After lunch, I went to accompany Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu, went to the hospital for a checkup, and went to the shopping mall by the way.

For the newborn baby, I bought a lot of clothes, shoes and hats. It feels like playing some doll dress-up game.

Hearing the two of them chatting endlessly, Su Yehao secretly sent a message to Yin Liuli, asking her if she would like to go to the United States for a week's vacation.

The reply he got was that he was busy with work recently, and the crowdfunding business was expanding due to serious illnesses on the Internet. He couldn't spare time, so he simply went to tease Miss Vera again.

It took a while for Vera to reply, telling her that she just wanted to go to New York to see Jan van Eyck's painting exhibition, and maybe she could find time to meet up.

Although they are already together with Vera, they have been together less and more apart for a long time.

She has her own pace of life, and Su Yehao can't always be with her and live like a normal couple, so for the time being, she has to do this for now.

It was eight o'clock that night.

Su Yehao set off from Big Wave Bay and went to the airport by car. He prepared all earplugs and eye masks in advance, and even brought pure cotton pajamas.

He often travels far away, and he is already very experienced in this. It is obvious that he is going to sleep in the United States...

……

Silicon Valley.

Su Yehao, who rested for eight and a half hours on the way, felt more comfortable than sleeping at home this time.

After washing and changing clothes, I just ate a hamburger for breakfast, and the plane landed at San Jose Airport.

The only problem is, it's late afternoon local time again.

The sky is full of colorful clouds, which means that after a night, it will be dark again.

He definitely couldn't fall asleep, so Su Yehao planned to meet some friends, go to a bar and chat, or hold a small private party temporarily.

As an outsider in the eyes of others, Su Yehao needs to be popular enough to avoid the Silicon Valley giants joining hands to squeeze him out. Many opportunities are often hidden in interpersonal communication.

Take Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan as an example. His family office still holds a lot of shares in Yanwen Group, and even participated in Google's financing. The relationship with Su Yehao is not as incompatible as outsiders imagined.

Yahoo released too many shares back then, and Yang Zhiyuan's right to speak was severely weakened. Since he left the position of Yahoo CEO, the management rights of these companies have been vested in the board of directors.

Nasdaq has just started to recover, and Yang Zhiyuan can't wait to reduce his Yahoo stock holdings regularly.

At the beginning of the year, I also contacted Su Yehao and took KOKO Venture Capital to participate in the financing of several start-up companies. I guess it was to help people match up and increase the probability of project success.

At their level, when they encounter interesting projects, they just throw some money out.

Whether it is successful or not, it doesn't matter much. Maybe some unknown small companies that do it easily may also bring unexpected surprises.

I searched through the address book, called Larry Page, Yang Zhiyuan, John Zhou and others, and asked them to call some colleagues and friends and go to a cocktail bar near Stanford University together.

I also wanted to contact Jobs.

But thinking of the other party's temper, Su Yehao gave up decisively.

Compared with traditional interpersonal communication, the social atmosphere in the United States is a little more relaxed.

On the one hand, it is because people are used to keeping a distance from each other, and they will not easily make embarrassing requests. On the other hand, it is because even if others make requests, they can directly refuse them in person. They are used to separating life and career as much as possible.

Of course, the United States is also a society of personal relationships, so small circles are often formed.

Su Yehao's employees and partners in the United States spontaneously formed a club with the label of "Su Shi". Yanwen Group and Google help each other, and the relationship is as good as wearing a pair of pants. Below are PayPal, Netflix, Loveline , instagram (photo wall), Google video, Villefor games, etc., the momentum of development is astonishing.

There are many companies directly controlled by them, and there are also many companies invested by Su Yehao, led by Apple and Amazon, and there are a large number of start-up companies remaining.

Considering that Microsoft's base camp is far away in Seattle in the north, the place of Silicon Valley is almost destroyed by Su Yehao, and he has too many high-quality resources in his hands. Therefore, he will worry about the sky and worry about gains and losses. The tigers and leopards looked for reasons to encircle and carve up.

The future will be discussed in the future, but fortunately, it is still very stable.

Through the process of emoji and Google's cake distribution, a large number of American companies and rich people have made a fortune. Su Yehao's reputation is quite good, and his influence in the investment circle has long surpassed Masayoshi Son of Japan's Softbank.

Go back to the mansion in the Atherton area by car.

The white-tailed deer in the yard had been released into the wild, and the gnawed lawn finally looked beautiful.

The house is usually cleaned by housekeepers and servants. It looks less smokey, but everywhere is clean. The customized version of the bulletproof Phantom in the garage, as well as the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, are covered with dust covers and occasionally ignite and start. , Find someone to maintain it, and it can still be used.

Su Yehao rested at home for a while, and when the appointed time was approaching, he personally drove the CLK GTR out.

When he came to the door of the bar, he happened to see Yang Zhiyuan with Jason Huang, the founder of Nvidia, and John Zhou with the CEO of Yanwen Group, and they had already arrived.

Yang Zhiyuan came to the sports car and asked helplessly:

"President Su, you didn't make an appointment, did you? I see that the bar is already full, and they are all Stanford students. There is a fraternity party here today, so we can't buy some wine and sit on the sidewalk to drink. "

Nvidia, managed by Jason Huang, has cooperation with Su Yehao's Gangcheng Microelectronics Group. The two talked on the phone several times, and he also said: "It's okay to sit on the sidewalk and drink, but people come and go and stare at us. It feels kind of weird."

John Zhou put down the phone and walked over, smiling:

"Don't worry, I've made arrangements. Now go to the craft beer workshop opened by my friend. His place is too high-grade and deserted, and there are not many customers."

I'm free tonight.

Yang Zhiyuan replied, "Then I'll take Brother Huang with me in the car. Is there anyone else? Or wait?"

Su Yehao said with a smile: "And Larry Page and others, I just make a call, you can go there first."

Of course Jason Huang knew about Larry Page, and jokingly said to Yang Zhiyuan:

"Your Yahoo is about to be wiped out, so you should cash out early and bring money to invest in my Nvidia. The computer sales market is picking up, and President Su and the others strongly support them and purchase a lot of my products. Now they have a better future than your company. .”

It's just a private joke, but Yahoo's decline is clear at a glance, Yang Zhiyuan said helplessly:

"If you want to invest, you are also investing in Yanmoji and Google. The personal computer industry is too competitive. If you invest, you will fall from one pit to another..."

Chapter 961 Large Walkman

See Yang Zhiyuan said that Nvidia is a pit.

Su Yehao, who just got off the car, smiled and said nothing.

Among graphics processor suppliers, Nvidia's status is equivalent to Intel's, holding a large number of patented technologies in its hands, and has already created an unshakable barrier.

Su Yehao has read the report on Huangzuan Computer, and knows that there is not even a suitable alternative graphics processor in the market today, showing a situation of dominance by one company.

Relying on the sufficient capital flow brought by technology monopoly, Nvidia has already embarked on a virtuous circle. As long as there are no accidents, it is estimated that it will be popular for at least another 20 years. Even Su Yehao has been tempted more than once to buy Nvidia stocks.

If Yang Zhiyuan really followed what Jason Huang said, he probably wouldn't disappear from the top of the rich list in the future.

That's all I can say.

The vast majority of rich people are successful because they only seize the moment of inspiration, combined with good timing and luck, to stand out and achieve extremely high achievements.

Even if you have money and resources, it is too difficult to replicate this success.

Like Bill Gates, the most eye-catching achievement is Microsoft, and Oracle's Larry Ellison has also worked hard on a business for more than 20 years.

After Jobs left Apple that year, nothing more than creating a Pixar animation studio.

Although this animation studio is also very powerful, and has successively released works such as "Toy Story" and "Monsters, Inc.", but he was Jobs who created Apple, and he was on the same starting line as Bill Gates.

Compared with Gates, who has been sitting on the top of the world's richest list for many years, it is obviously a little less interesting to only do computer animation.

After all, Yang Zhiyuan is not Su Yehao who holds a lot of unicorn companies in his hands. Yahoo's stock price has rebounded in recent years, and it still has a market value of more than 300 billion US dollars. Of course, it is impossible for him to clear the stock and invest in Nvidia instead.

Actually.

Yahoo's board of directors, including Yang Zhiyuan, believes that the reason for the company's stock price drop is only one aspect of the company's market share being seized by Google, and the more important thing is the Internet bubble in 2000, and they feel that Yahoo is in a reasonable price range.

Even if Google does not seize the search engine market share, it is likely to be snatched away by companies like Microsoft, and normal competition will fall into a disadvantage. If you lose, you will lose.

Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan really didn't mean to complain about Su Yehao. He even planned to promote the cooperation between Google and Yahoo earlier, but it was rejected by the board of directors.

In addition, the idea of ​​​​acquiring Google was also moved, but it was finally rejected by the board of directors.

Unlike other Internet companies, the founders are often able to retain control. At the time of Yahoo’s financing, different rights for the same share were not popular in Silicon Valley.

Yang Zhiyuan has basically lost control of the board of directors, resulting in Yahoo's internal management has always been chaotic, a bit like "the three monks have no water to drink", and is often affected by meaningless internal friction.

He himself is aware of this, so he cashed out and reduced his holdings one after another, placing part of his bargaining chips on Yanmoji Group and Google...

When Larry Page and several Google executives arrived, Su Yehao drove John Zhou to the craft beer workshop he said.

This brewery is just a few minutes away in the Palo Alto area.
