Fight to the third generation

After exchanging some polite greetings, after each ordered beer, Jason Huang asked curiously in English, "Boss Su, why do you have time for a party tonight? I was already going to watch a movie, but Yang brought me here directly."

Su Yehao spoke the truth and replied:

"I just arrived in the evening, and I slept for almost nine hours on the plane. If I don't drink some wine tonight, I'm afraid I can only sleep through tomorrow morning with my eyes open. I mean local time. I haven't been to Silicon Valley for a long time. Everyone today Let’s have fun tonight, just because I want to know what’s going on in Silicon Valley recently.”

Larry Page is no stranger to everyone here. This guy couldn't think about it. He suddenly grew a beard and looked a little weird. He said calmly:

"Silicon Valley has always been the same, the new batch of unicorn companies, I mean the ones with a valuation of more than a billion dollars, are in the hands of you, the boss. Like Paypal, Google Video, Google Travel, and The photo wall under Yanwen belongs to the hot spots in the first half of this year. Some game companies are also very popular. Some people have already called this year the year of Su Ye. It should be no problem to be worth more than Gates. You must know that you have a large number of Huaxia Internet companies. company."

The speaking speed is a bit fast, it doesn't matter if others listen to it, Su Yehao needs to slow down.

Yang Zhiyuan lazily interrupted: "Hey, hey, it's a bit too much. I thought it was just chatting tonight, and now it's a bit of a bully. Google is stepping on my Yahoo, and the development is so good. The acquired subsidiaries have acquired one after another. Success, why can’t I come across such a good thing.”

Su Yehao was half joking and half serious, and replied:

"I'm serious, let's liquidate Yahoo's stock, invest one-third of it in Nvidia, and leave the rest to me. If you have billions of dollars in cash, it will not be a problem to increase ten times in ten years. Only charge you 20% management fee, very good deal.”

Not only Yang Zhiyuan, but everyone else in the room also thought that Su Yehao was joking.

Hear this.

Yang Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart at all, and laughed and scolded: "The richest man in the world is really different. How could he be so arrogant when I first met you? This is a conspiracy. If Yahoo loses me, it will be completely unable to compete with Google, right?"

Su Yehao was speechless.

The beer was served quickly, and there were snacks like onion rings and popcorn. A total of more than ten people sat around, chatting about all kinds of topics.

Due to the presence of outsiders, neither Larry Page nor John Zhou mentioned the company's secrets, and at most they were gossiping about other companies.

For example, the Amazon online shopping mall suffered a huge loss, while its stock price soared, and America Online's so-and-so was entangled in pornographic news. The shareholders of Time Warner Group may have been so angry that they vomited blood.

Jason Huang spoke at this time and asked Su Yehao:

"I remember that you cooperated with Apple and established a subsidiary company. There are rumors from the outside world that you are going to develop a handheld computer and an operating system? I don't know if there will be any relationship between me and Nvidia. There is no chance of cooperation, and now I and other executives are waiting for your company, Boss Su, to help us produce new models, and the number of orders is likely to be [-] to [-]% higher than the number mentioned before."

The Pocket PC project is the front, the smartphone is the core.

Su Yehao paused for a moment, organized his words and replied:

"Of course I welcome any orders. ASML should supply Micron as soon as possible. I won't be the only foundry in the future. Don't worry too much about the output. There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future, but the cooperation projects with Apple are mainly It’s just a matter of making some large Walkmans, and the rumors outside cannot be trusted, adding the functions of watching videos and reading e-books on the basis of the iPod, there is no technical content.”

The government has wars and neglects, and Su Yehao has the essence of it.

Jason Huang and Yang Zhiyuan were thinking about whether they would have a chance to get involved, but when they heard these words, they immediately lost interest in the Apple Smart Company.

Last year, a company called Archos launched MP4, which is nothing new.

It is estimated that it will take another two or three years before everyone here will come back to it and come up with a sentence-make your sister's large Walkman!

Chapter 962 Don't Say Brother, I Don't Take Care of You

The cold winter has just passed, and capital is pouring into Silicon Valley again.

With the help of Su Yehao, Yanwen Group has hatched a number of unicorn companies. Even Netflix, which rents out DVDs, has begun to transform into online viewing, and has obtained the online broadcasting rights of many TV series and movies.

pity.

Internet download speeds are still a bit slow, and computer monitors are mostly old-fashioned, temporary gimmicks.

Although Netflix's user scale is a bit small, it can draw a big pie for investors and provide sufficient room for imagination.

Su Yehao knew it very well.

Bringing out good ideas too early will easily attract competitors to imitate.

But if you don’t occupy the hole first, others will only say that he is bullying others in the future, and even be sued for using his advantages to monopolize, etc., which will generate a lot of negative news. In this way, it is better to compete with others head-on.

Netflix now relies on a big tree to enjoy the shade. It needs resources and resources, and it needs funds and funds.

If none of this can be developed and he has never beaten a competitor, then Su Yehao will admit that he has failed, and the big deal is to spend money to buy the competitor, which is not a big problem.

With the support of many incubation projects, the business of Yanwen Group itself is also good. The stock price of this listed company has risen again and again, and its market value has successfully exceeded the 360 billion US dollar mark.

Others felt that if there were no accidents, Su Yehao's worth would surpass Bill Gates this year and become the richest man in the world.

More importantly, it is different from Gates who is standing still.

Su Yehao is in full swing, and the growth momentum of the diversified assets he holds is too strong.

Even the Internet bubble crisis that started in March 2000 failed to stop Su Yehao's footsteps. In the first two or three years, he truly outshone others.

As the market picks up, nothing can stop him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that once Google is sent to the IPO, it will inevitably become another super stock, and it will almost monopolize the Internet market in mainland China, sitting on more than one billion potential users, which is another growth point with unlimited potential.

Laymen look at the excitement.

Yang Zhiyuan watched Su Yehao grow up almost all the way. Now, apart from looking up, he only admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Others in Silicon Valley only focus on the Internet field, but Yang Zhiyuan has not forgotten that Su Yehao has also flourished in industries such as real estate, finance, semiconductors, private equity, and venture capital.

So much so that during the chat at the craft beer workshop, even though he and Jason Huang were older than Su Yehao, there was a faint sense that Su Yehao was the leader.

The research and development of smartphones is temporarily kept secret. It involves a trillion-dollar market. No matter how careful you can be, Su Yehao changed the subject and said to Yang Zhiyuan:

"Now the trend of ebb and flow is clear at a glance. If you want me to say Brother Yang, don't hold on to it. When I have a little more money, let Google merge Yahoo directly? By then, my Google will be worth 500 billion US dollars. Your Yahoo is worth $200 billion, give you a 10% to 20% premium, don’t say I don’t take care of you bro.”

"???"

Yang Zhiyuan, who was stunned, asked in a puzzled tone: "Why is your Google worth 500 billion US dollars, and my Yahoo is only worth 200 billion US dollars? According to today's closing price, the total market value is almost 320 billion US dollars. How can you take care of me?" Yes, the premium is about 400 billion, I can think about it."

As the chief operating officer of Yanmoji Group, John Zhou, of course, stood by Su Yehao, and explained with a smile:

"Didn't Boss Su mention it? One goes up and down. Yahoo's basic disk is still there, but both the number of new netizens and user satisfaction have been surpassed by Google. This is not what I said, you accepted it last year. I still remember what I said during the interview.”

"... When I said it was surpassed, I hoped that Yahoo's management would cheer on it. It doesn't mean that Google is really better than Yahoo. From the perspective of revenue and profit margins, Google is obviously worse than Yahoo."

Yang Zhiyuan has a stubborn mouth, and obviously doesn't believe that Yahoo's stock price will fall back to 200 billion US dollars.

Su Yehao ate the popcorn and said, "Yahoo's problem is that it was kidnapped by investors. Because it paid too much attention to profits, it forced a lot of advertisements. When it comes to the search engine itself, the user experience is similar. It's nothing more than Google. Accurate results go to the top, and Yahoo is showing ads."

Jason Huang said in surprise: "You dare to say such things, are you afraid that Yahoo will react and compete with Google?"

heard.

Yang Zhiyuan laughed dumbfounded:

"The company has so many people, and it has already studied Google thoroughly. If I could learn it, I would have learned it a long time ago. Why do I need to wait until now? It is indeed kidnapped by investors. If you want to provide a concise web page, the advertisement must However, once the company’s revenue drops, the stockholders will immediately rush to smash the company’s windows, making it look like the sky is falling, how can I change this?”

Su Yehao, who knew this very well, shook his head and said with a smile: "The good thing about Google is that it has never made a profit. Since it has not given investors hope, of course it is not disappointing. You can temporarily ignore the revenue and profit and try your best to seize the market."

"Hey, what are you talking about, drinking and drinking."

Yang Zhiyuan sighed, raised his glass and said, "Boss Su, you are not in a hurry to go public. It is definitely a wise decision. Every time a board meeting is held, I want to bang my head against the wall. The financial reports of those guys are really a headache."

Su Yehao replied:

"I don't think it will last long. Other shareholders can't wait, and capital is needed to seize the market. Maybe the IPO will start by the end of this year."

Jason Huang was taken aback after hearing this, then subconsciously glanced at Yang Zhiyuan, and jokingly said:

"It's so powerful, and still need to continue to burn money to expand? Then Yahoo is probably doomed. Instead of waiting for the market value to fall to 200 billion US dollars before being acquired, it is better to reorganize and acquire now. At least it can be sold at a good price. This is called since If you can't beat it, then join the opponent's camp, and if you count it carefully, you will win."

Yang Zhiyuan pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed from ear to ear, and said:

"That makes sense! Yahoo now counts at 400 billion, and Google counts at 200 billion. If the two companies merge, Yahoo will still hold the majority of the shares. At that time, it will have no competitors. In fact, when Google is worth 40 billion U.S. dollars, I will move Over the idea of ​​acquisition, one of the directors privately said that I was crazy, and now I’m afraid I’ve already regretted it to the point of gnashing my teeth.”

"I started dreaming after drinking too much wine. Google's future is still very long. Now I have the advantage, and it is impossible for you to succeed."

Su Yehao thought to himself, the only good time to kill himself is probably when his business has just started to improve.

If Yahoo really knocked him out with a large sum of money at that time, it might have cashed out and used the money to invest in other projects, or directly traded for some Yahoo stock.

Today, Feng Shui turns, the situation is very different.

According to the current development momentum, maybe it will take less than 200 billion U.S. dollars in a few years to eat Yahoo...

Chapter 963 Nomination Rights

Handcrafted craft beer with higher alcohol content than expected.

Everyone sits around and chats, the atmosphere is very suitable for drinking, and it is easy to get caught if you are not careful.

Wait until after nine o'clock in the evening.

The founder of a start-up company did not catch his breath while toasting and drinking. He performed a "volcanic eruption" live, and the vomit was like a goddess scattering flowers. Several people sitting opposite him were tricked.

Affected by this accident, coupled with the fact that they were almost drunk, several foreigners, including Larry Page, who did not keep up with the rhythm of the "Chinese-style cheers", had already swayed and left the venue early.

When Americans go to bars, they often order a bottle of beer and sit all night. Those who want to get drunk will not drink this stuff, it is too full.

Wait until Su Yehao gets into the car.

I looked at my watch and found that it was only 45:[-] pm local time in Silicon Valley.

He said helplessly:

"Tonight is probably finished. I have nothing to do when I am awake, and I can't fall asleep. Is there any interesting place nearby to spend time, such as a spa massage, or playing cards with someone?"

The Mercedes-Benz supercar was handed over to the bodyguard to drive. Sitting in the co-pilot seat of the Phantom, Linda Yun blinked and asked, "Is your so-called spa massage serious? As for playing cards, anyway, there is a private jet, so go and take a trip." Las Vegas is fine, aren't you ready to adjust for jet lag?"

"Of course it's a serious massage. Do you think I still have time to spare? If you have a few girlfriends, you will know that going out alone is a kind of enjoyment, enjoying a rare quiet time."

Su Yehao was slightly melancholy, and added:

"Forget about Las Vegas. I just flew over in the afternoon. I don't want to mess around anymore. I'll check the bookshelves later to see if there are any interesting novels to pass the time, or I can find one online. I only plan to stay for about a week in total. , It’s very uncomfortable to adjust the biological clock, it’s better to pass the time in Hong Kong City in the United States.”

The so-called time of crossing the port city in the United States refers to the day and night. Anyway, the arrangements can be made in the afternoon and evening, and no one will force Su Yehao to work.

Linda Yunshen agreed, nodded and said, "That's great. I can sleep late tomorrow morning. I have always admired the group of people who work all over the country. Jet lag will hurt my body."

Looking at her with weird eyes, Su Yehao smiled and said, "You have finally reached the age where you need to take care of your body?"

"Nonsense, I'm older than you..."

The nightlife in Silicon Valley was already barren. It looked like an urban-rural fringe area. Su Yehao, who couldn't find much entertainment, went straight home.

I sent a message to Miss Vera halfway, and learned that there are still some things to be done, and it may take two days to come over.

After arriving home, Su Yehao took a shower, brushed his teeth, changed into pajamas, posted messages in the small group online, and chatted with Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu.

During the period, he remembered that he also invested in a Chinese novel website called "Mythology Chinese Website". He found the website and went to check it out, and found that some novels had been serialized to more than 800 chapters.

This surprised Su Yehao a little. He clicked in and read it. It turned out that it was a tentacle monster that could update more than 1 words every day.

After browsing through a chapter by clicking on it casually, he silently closed the webpage again. The color inside was a bit rich. Su Yehao had already passed the stage where he needed to rely on imagination to make up his mind, and his nutrition had long since been unable to keep up.

According to the total number of recommended votes, the number one is this fairy tale novel.

Idle is also idle, Su Yehao just sat in front of the laptop, reading page by page...

……

time flies.

By the time Su Yehao's neck ached, it was already past three o'clock in the morning local time on the west coast.

He finally turned his attention away from the screen, and after thinking about it for a while, he sent an email to Zhuang Wei's assistant, asking him to contact the person in charge of the Shinhwa Chinese website, and use the bonus as a bait to attract netizens to create novels on tomb robbery, interstellar and other themes.

Mainly to pass the time for myself, and also select some good works and sell them to Tianyu Entertainment for adaptation.

Take a short break after sending the email.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside the window.

After simply packing up, Su Yehao hurriedly set off for Apple before he had time to eat breakfast.

Apple held a regular meeting of the board of directors today, focusing on discussing the reelection of the board of directors.

At present, Apple has nine board members, only one of which is controlled by Su Yehao, and the other top ten shareholders of Apple are wiped out, and usually have no say in the company's management decisions.

The reason why major shareholders cannot control the company is mainly because according to Apple's regulations, members of the board of directors have the right to nominate when they change their terms.

This also means that as long as there are no accidents, the board of directors will always maintain its own control, nominate and vote on successors according to its own wishes, and the previous shareholders cannot intervene.

Su Yehao failed to become the controlling shareholder of Apple.

This old-fashioned company has too scattered equity, and if it wants to completely win it, I am afraid that it will need to spend another 15 billion US dollars.

He attended in person today, mainly to fight for another non-executive director seat, so that he can intervene in Apple's resolutions in the future.

In the past few years, Apple tried to learn from Microsoft and sell Apple's independent operating system to the outside world.
