Fight to the third generation

Chapter 968 Ten Billion Hong Kong Dollars

the weather is nice today.

After lunch, Su Yehao took Zhao Yimeng to Mountain View City in Santa Clara County, and found a cafe to sit and rest.

Zhao Yimeng dragged his chin with his hands, and said listlessly:

"No wonder you specially arranged the address of the company's new headquarters here. The scenery is really great. Although it is not a majestic mountain, the plain scenery also has a different kind of beauty, which makes people feel relaxed."

Su Yehao drank coffee to refresh himself, and there was a donut in front of him.

It's one of those sweet, frosted donuts, so he gives it up after one bite, explaining:

"I don't care about the scenery. The main reason is that the land price here is cheap enough. Not only can the company save money, but the employees can also own their own real estate. During the cold winter of the Internet, the local city council agreed to let me buy land and build houses. The total plan The construction of 1 houses, I remember it seems to be the beginning of 2002, and now the housing prices have risen a lot."

After hearing this, Zhao Yimeng chuckled, looked around, and said in a low voice, "You are good or bad, the employees do the work for you, and you are still doing real estate development at home, and turning around to earn their wages."

Shrugging, Su Yehao said calmly:

"One yard is worth one yard. Even if I don't earn this money, other real estate developers will earn it away. My employees will only pay more. It is mainly a corporate benefit to attract talents to join. "

Of course Zhao Yimeng could understand, and continued, "Stanford University is holding graduation recruitment recently. I went for a walk a few days ago and saw the Yanwen Group's station."

"Well, the company expands relatively quickly and needs to hire a lot of people."

Digging a piece of ice with a spoon and putting it in his mouth, Su Yehao looked at Zhao Yimeng, and asked curiously: "How is your business with your family recently? I heard from my father before that it seems that your family went to Forty-Nine City Take some land."

"That's right. My dad thinks that the hosting of the Olympic Games may release some new opportunities. I guess you probably don't pay attention to it. Donghuang Group's business in the mainland is doing very well, and its market value has exceeded its peak in 190. It reached about [-] billion Hong Kong dollars. Now the concept of real estate in the north is particularly popular on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. With the size of your home, Universal International, the market value is estimated to soar to [-] billion Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop."

Zhao Yimeng paused for a few seconds, then laughed at himself and said:

"As for myself, although I have listened to your suggestion to invest in companies like Amazon, my capital is a bit small. Even if the increase is relatively high, I only earned two to three million Hong Kong dollars, which cannot be compared with yours."

"...You can't compare with me. A business genius like me may only come out once every thousand years. If you always stare at me, you will get lost in the dazzling light and end up asking for trouble. Isn't that the way to be a human being?" In just a few decades, it is fleeting, and if you set the goal too high, you will be very tired."

After listening.

The corners of his eyes twitched, and Zhao Yimeng said: "I think it makes sense, but I really want to beat you up. What kind of business genius who comes out once in a thousand years must have a thick skin to say such things calmly."

"That's the way it is. I still firmly believe that Amazon is a good stock, but it has a long way to go before making a profit. It will burn money for a long time in exchange for users and markets. This can force other competitors Competitors are discouraged, and even if they are able to achieve profitability, they will give up in order to avoid taxation. In fact, its revenue scale and total profit have been rising.”

Su Yehao explained slowly, and added: "If you don't understand the underlying logic of Internet companies' growth, you won't be able to pick good projects. If you want to make quick money, you can invest in Yanwen stocks with full positions, or participate in Google's financing. We have to wait patiently for a few more years before we can see real returns."

Previously, every time he felt that the Internet market had reached its peak, Zhao Yimeng missed many opportunities.

In the past one or two years.

She tried to invest according to Su Yehao's suggestion, and she did earn a lot of money. Donghuang Group learned from Sihai International and went northward to develop, and also found a new profit growth point. Second spring.

A simple calculation of Ms. Zhao's family property has reached about tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

Although it can't be compared with the Su family, in just a few years, the Zhao family's total assets have almost tripled, which is actually quite impressive, after all, the base is relatively large.

After listening carefully, Zhao Yimeng asked, "Then what do you think the underlying logic is?"

"It can be summed up in three points, traffic is king, scale effect, and one step ahead. It is also because of this that the probability of picking out a blockbuster from a large number of start-up companies is very, very low, and luck may be more important than vision. And Directly participating in the A round, or even the B round of financing, most of those companies have basically run the model, at least have a concept that can be sold, and the success will be slightly greater.”

Su Yehao deals with these businesses all day long, and teaching Miss Zhao is not as simple as eating and drinking.

Despite Zhao Yimeng's good eyesight, he has a very big appetite.

Most of the projects I have been focusing on are start-up companies, and some so-called Silicon Valley celebrities have taken away tens or millions of dollars in angel round financing from her just by talking about it.

For example, a company in the car rental business may have a market in the mainland, but this is the United States.

Even many homeless people can easily own a car, which can be used as a mobile tent to keep out the wind and rain. The number of car ownership over the past few decades has reached a terrifying number. About [-]% of the American population owns their own car.

Promoting the Internet car rental business here is obviously thankless. It is estimated that people will only think of using the car rental website when they are inconvenient to do business in other places. The operating cost is too high, and the model is difficult to maintain. Risking resistance from traditional car rental companies, the market is already saturated.

Persuading Zhao Yimeng to invest in the A round or even the B round, at least the projects he encounters have been screened by others, which is a little more reliable than throwing money away.

I get tired easily in the afternoon. I didn’t feel enough sleep today, but after drinking coffee, I feel even more sleepy.

After dozing off for a long time, Su Yehao thought that although Zhao Yimeng was smart, he failed in thinking too much.

If she is as obedient as Jiang Yu and Nangong Tian, ​​with Zhao Yimeng's super high starting line, she should be worth at least 50 billion Hong Kong dollars now. At the beginning, she missed the skyrocketing Yahoo, and the early rise of Yanwen Group and so on.

Fortunately, it is not too late to look back now. Silicon Valley was almost frozen in the past few years. Now a new round of opportunities has emerged. Including Yanwen Group, a group of technology stocks on Nasdaq have risen astonishingly...

Chapter 969 Pool Party

Miss Vera released Su Yehao's pigeons.

Because she felt that she would be nervous and couldn't hide it from Zhao Yimeng's eyes, she thought it would be better not to come directly, and asked Su Yehao to meet in Pengcheng a week later.

Su Yehao was helpless about this.

Accidentally ran into an old acquaintance like Zhao Yimeng in Silicon Valley, so we couldn't just shut her out.

Besides, there are very few female friends around him, he has almost gnawed the grass on the edge of the nest, and it is rare that there is still a Miss Zhao of the same age left, and the importance of friendship between each other is immediately highlighted.

At the very least, next time Linda Yun said that he only eats grass beside the nest, he could use Miss Zhao as an example to refute, instead of obediently admitting it without saying a word.

After visiting the construction site in Mountain View.

That night, Su Yehao was invited to the pool party hosted by Larry Page.

The founder of Google was obviously picked by him, but he also thanked Su Yehao for his help from the bottom of his heart, treating him as a bole.

Tonight, Larry Page hosted a welcome party for him in his newly bought mansion.

The location is next door to Atherton District. Although the house price is not as expensive as Su Yehao's house, it still costs nearly 500 million US dollars.

Google has not yet been listed, but Larry Page has been the CEO of Google for so long. During this period, he received a lot of salary and bonuses, and made some gains in private foreign investment and financial management. There is no pressure to buy such a house.

You must know that including Larry Page, as well as Sergey Brin, the founder of Google, and several veteran employees, all hold some of Google's original shares.

With Google's valuation exceeding 200 billion U.S. dollars, one of the least-valued veteran employees has shares worth tens of millions of U.S. dollars.

Such a myth of wealth creation is not uncommon in Silicon Valley. The miracle created by Google has been passed on as a story, while more cannon fodder from the outside world is habitually ignored.

When Su Yehao brought Zhao Yimeng to the scene, he found that the swimming pool was already full of people. Including those on the shore, there were roughly one or two hundred guests.

When seeing Larry Page, Su Yehao asked wonderingly: "I thought I went into the bar, why is it so lively?"

"...Sorry, I probably didn't make it clear in the email. I only invited some friends, but I didn't expect so many to come. The scene was a bit out of control. By the time I found out, it was already too late."

It wasn't a very formal party, and Larry Page didn't arrange security checks at the door of his house. The news spread quickly, and there were still people waiting in line at his door to enter.

With a smile on his face, Su Yehao patted Larry on the shoulder and said:

"It's okay, everyone likes free parties, right? This is my good friend since I was a child, Ms. Zhao. His father is also a casino real estate developer, and he is a partner with my father."

Hearing this, Larry Page quickly reached out to greet Zhao Yimeng.

Su Yehao's rich private life has long been spread in Silicon Valley, and people talk about it. Although he introduced that Zhao Yimeng was just a friend, Larry Page did not believe it. Out enough friendly.

Zhao Yimeng was wearing a white shirt and denim shorts.

Compared with her, other white girls are much more unrestrained, most of them are in swimsuits, and the better the figure, the more confident they are to show it.

As for Su Yehao, with shorts and short sleeves, standing with Zhao Yimeng, it really does look like a man and woman.

Chatted with acquaintances.

Su Yehao took a bottle of beer at the moment, and asked Zhao Yimeng while drinking, "I called you before to ask you to wear a swimsuit, and when they invited you, they said it was a pool party. What are you waiting for, be bold."

Zhao Yimeng ignored it, heheed, and said: "There are so many people in the swimming pool, and they can't go into the water. They just want to take advantage of me with their mouths? Didn't they say I'm not sexy enough yesterday? Isn't there enough white beauties for you to look at? Eye."

"Slander, you are slandering me. When did I say that you are not sexy enough? I mean that white people have different aesthetics from us and prefer a wilder body."

Su Yehao's words, on the contrary, aroused Zhao Yimeng's competitive spirit.

She smiled slightly: "Really? You wait for me..."

Zhao Yimeng left for a while, and only his swimsuit was left when he came back.

With fair skin and a great figure, the rate of turning heads is so high that some people can't help but whistle.

Su Yehao, who only wanted to tease at first, did not expect Miss Zhao to be so free and easy. After looking up and down at Zhao Yimeng, his heart beat a little faster.

When she walked in front of her, Su Yehao changed his words and said, "You don't go swimming in the water. Doesn't dressing like this lead people to commit crimes? How can I face you?"

"Everyone wears like this, it's because you have a lot of evil in your heart..."

Having said that, Zhao Yimeng was still a little happy, and it was mainly due to Su Yehao being merciful and skipping her.

Although it was not a good thing, for a proud and confident woman like her, Su Yehao's actions still caused Miss Zhao to have deep resentment, to the point of self-doubt.

This led to the approval of Su Yehao, which made Zhao Yimeng particularly relieved, more or less like "Look, I didn't choose me at the beginning, and now I'm starting to regret it".

Everyone has vanity, even Miss Zhao, who is well-off, is not exempt from it.

……

Many acquaintances in Silicon Valley attended the appointment tonight, including executives from Oracle and well-known investors from Wall Street.

Zhao Yimeng originally wanted Su Yehao to introduce some new friends for him, but the swimsuit was a bit weird, so he quietly found a chance, and she put on the shirt and shorts again.

Seeing Su Yehao's puzzled expression, she rolled her eyes to find a reason, and told her, "I'm cold, okay?"

An executive director of Hewlett-Packard came to Su Yehao with a glass of wine at this moment. After introducing himself with a smile, he asked, "Su, I know I should rest tonight, but there are too few opportunities to see you in person. Let's talk about business." OK?"

"Please tell me, if it is a matter of foundry, then I can only ask you to wait patiently, the production capacity in the short term cannot keep up."

As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking, the middle-aged man on the opposite side quickly shook his head and said:

"No, no, it's not about chips. Our company has fully evaluated your Yellow Diamond Computer Company and arranged for a delegation to visit your factory. Although the board of directors has not yet made a complete decision, we are discussing the acquisition of your Yellow Diamond Computer Company. Drill Computer Company, what do you think? Don’t rush to give an answer, you can think about it for a few days.”

"...I can give an answer now, but I can only say sorry. The original intention of my establishment of Yellow Diamond Computer was to enable more than one billion people to use cheap and durable computers and accelerate their entry into the information age. For Internet businesses on the other side of the ocean, the scale of users determines their value, do you understand?"

"Of course, listening to what you said, I seem to understand why the profit margin of Yellow Diamond Computer is kept at such a low level. Su, to be honest, this makes it difficult to sell our products, and has already affected the normal business order. "

……

Chapter 970 Banknote Ability

Listen to the other party saying that he has affected the normal business order.

When these words fell into Su Yehao's ears, it was a little bit of a questioning.

Hewlett-Packard is an old giant in the personal computer industry. It just acquired its competitor Compa in 2001, and it is firmly seated as the second largest PC manufacturer in the world. Its annual revenue is second only to Dell, reaching tens of billions of dollars.

As early as the 80s, HP entered the mainland market for development, and before the Yellow Diamond Computer Company, it did have a competitive relationship and was a rival.

Although they are competitors, if there is a chance to earn money with a smile, there is no need to tear your face.

The advantage of Yellow Diamond Computer is clear at a glance. It relies on the integration of components on the market and sells products at low prices. The development route is actually somewhat similar to that of Dell.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that it disrupts market order.

Rather than saying that the Yellow Diamond computer affected the business order, it was better to say that the profit margin of the personal computer was suppressed by Su Yehao, which delayed their tacit understanding of working together to make money.

For example, a computer manufacturer in the Mainland had a very impressive net profit rate before the Yellow Diamond computer appeared.

After all, it lacks the link of R&D investment. It is just an assembly business like Yellow Diamond Computer. The operating costs are mainly concentrated in the marketing and assembly links. Now facing the menacing Yellow Diamond Computer, it is no longer possible to lie comfortably and make money.

Actually.

Whether it was other computer companies in the mainland or his own Huangzuan computer, Su Yehao didn't think much of it.

The reason is that they only purchase and assemble, and do not involve the research and development of key components, which means that they can only continuously purchase from outside, which does not help the development of the local industrial chain.

To put it bluntly, I still earn some hard money. It is not much more advanced than processing toys and clothing. It is a low-value-added business and cannot promote industrial upgrading. It is equivalent to imported goods assembled locally, but with a domestic label. Calculating the proportion of imports in the total production cost, it may be as high as [-]% or [-]%.

Fortunately, more and more people are beginning to enter the Internet age, which indirectly produces some relatively good effects.

Yellow Diamond Computer is also constantly trying to localize part of the supply chain that can be replaced. As for the remaining key components, it can be purchased from outside when the time is right. After all, the competitiveness in the international market is quite strong.

For example, Erbida, a Japanese DRAM memory chip giant, was pushed to the cliff step by step by its Korean counterparts, and the amount of losses was getting higher and higher.

They were praying mantises and catching cicadas, and Su Yehao, the oriole, had been watching patiently for three or four years.

When there is more money in hand and the time is right, maybe you can try to bring back some good things from the Japanese semiconductor market.

As for completely developing from scratch, the cost is a little bit high.

What's more, even if it is actually developed, it is hard to say whether the peers will buy it or not. The lack of customers means that the scale cannot be formed. This is tantamount to slow suicide in the semiconductor industry. Only with sufficient income can there be a chance to achieve a virtuous circle, such as Nvidia, Qualcomm, Microsoft Wait, it all develops like this.

Ordinary consumers only come into contact with end products, while Su Yehao cares about the source, which is the semiconductor industry with high added value.

He said now to an HP executive named Walter:
