Media Tycoon since 1999

Chapter 522 Conquering the Venture Capital Queen (Two in One)

After the meal, Gao Yang drank tea with Ding Lei, Li Yan and others at the hotel. Some time ago, Ding Lei and Li Yan, under Gao Yang's suggestion, reduced their stock holdings by about 1 million US dollars, and now they decided to invest 3 million US dollars each To the smartphone project of 51 Group.

Gao Yang naturally welcomed it, and he also clearly mentioned that Yiwang and Baidu cannot invest in the name of the company.

Boss Feng of CPI also decided to invest 1 million in the name of CPI.

At noon, Gao Yang and Wu Ruohan went home to rest, and Gu Yawen went back to Weber's apartment to rest. In the afternoon, they took Chen Sen, Zhou Wenbin and others to inspect the construction site of 51 Technology Park.

Before the lunch break, Wu Ruohan asked: "Husband, this time the investment department will be rewarded with 1 million yuan. How do you plan to arrange it?"

Gao Yang said with a smile: "You are the head of the department and also the commander. Let me reward you with 4000 million."

Wu Ruohan said: "There's no need to reward me. Let's reward Sister Yufei and the five of them. The per capita is 5 million. It can motivate them even more."

Gao Yang said: "You are a minister, and you have contributed the most. If you don't get the bonus, how can Yu Fei and the others have the nerve to get it?"

Wu Ruohan thought about it: "Then I'll take 3000 million. I suggest sister Yufei 2000 million, Yangliu 1400 million, and others 1200 million."

Gao Yang said: "Yes, in this round of big bull market, Yu Fei and Yang Liu have also made a lot of money, right?"

Wu Ruohan said: "Yes, in their own account, Sister Yufei earned 15 times, close to 8000 million, and Yang Liu earned more than 30 times, more than 3000 million.

The other three also have 2000 million.

Sister Yufei's management is still very strict. She, including herself, did not buy stocks in the company's stock pool, nor did it affect the company's investment and trading. "

Gao Yang thought about it, and said: "Next month, Yang Liu and the others will go to Hong Kong Island to trade 10 billion US dollars, you tell Yang Liu to prohibit them from using their own funds to follow the asset management company to invest and operate.

They went to Hong Kong Island to trade this time, and their task was to exercise their ability to compete with international investment banks and hedge funds in the Hong Kong Island and European markets.

Their salaries while working on Hong Kong Island are based on the standards of the local market.

In addition, as an incentive, after the completion of this investment task, the company can arrange a 5% performance commission. "

Wu Ruohan said: "A performance commission of 5 points, isn't it too little?"

Gao Yang said: "Their main task is to short high-leverage stocks such as stock indexes.

If everything goes well, within one year, it will achieve 5 times the net income, which is 50 billion US dollars, and 5 points of performance commission, is it still small? "

Wu Ruohan grinned: "If they really earn a net income equivalent to 50 billion US dollars, a commission of 2.5 million US dollars will be quite a lot."

Gao Yang continued: "Yang Liu and the others, including Huang Yufei, will be included in the group's employee stock ownership pilot program next year.

If they are not stupid, they should understand the value of participating in the group's dividends every year in the future.

Huang Yufei also goes to Hong Kong Island once a month for strict supervision. "

Wu Ruohan said: "Well, I will arrange it, don't worry..."

At this time, at the Hong Kong Island Airport, Xu Xin, the founder of Venture Capital Today, had just boarded a direct flight to Beijing.

At noon today, Xu Xin received a call from Gao Yang, asking her to come to the capital, saying that she had something important to discuss.

Xu Xin hurriedly booked a ticket and left soon.

In late April, after 4 Toutiao.com held a press conference to announce the launch of the website, Xu Xin was a little unhappy with Gao Yang.

Such a good project, Gao Yang never disclosed it to her, let alone gave today's venture capital a chance to invest in it.

Later, Xu Xin also regretted knowing that the 51 Toutiao project was wholly invested by the 51 Group.

The emergence of 51 Toutiao, just like the original 51 Guards, directly changed the business model of the entire industry.

Portal news websites such as Xinglang and Sohu suffered untold misery, lost a large number of users, and greatly reduced advertising revenue. Many news media and reporters refused to reprint their original articles by Xinglang and other websites.

Because 51 Toutiao has to pay the advertising traffic share for the original content.

Now, in just half a year, 51 Toutiao has become No. 1 in the influence of portal news websites. After three or four months of hesitation, Xinglang, Sohu, and Goose Factory.com all had to find ways to poach people everywhere, and quietly began to organize technical forces , to develop a new type of portal website empowered by AI technology.

At dusk, Xu Xin left the Beijing airport, and was greeted by Xu Xiaolong, the deputy head of the security department of the 51 Group, who directly sent Xu Xin to Wanliu Hua Mansion.

After 9 o'clock in the evening, Gao Yangye ran back, took a hot bath, told Wu Ruohan to go to bed first, then invited Xu Xin into the study, accompanied by Gu Yawen, and started talking about business.

Gao Yang asked with a smile: "Sister Xin, did Venture Capital invest in new projects this year?"

Xu Xin shook her head and said: "In March, I invested in a small project worth 3 million US dollars. In the second half of the year, I felt that the economic situation was not right. The Central Bank of China continued to raise interest rates, and the United States and Europe fell into the subprime mortgage crisis. I started to be cautious.

Yesterday, Merrill Lynch announced a huge loss of US$80 billion in the third quarter. I feel that the global financial market may experience major turmoil next year. Gao Yang, what do you think? "

Gao Yang said: "Yes, I also think that the probability of a global financial crisis next year is very high, and next, large financial institutions in the United States and Europe may explode further.

Sister Xin, I specially invited you to the capital today. There is a big event. 51 Group plans to start investing in smartphone projects. Are you interested? "

Xu Xin was surprised: "The 51 Group wants to enter the industry, or smartphones?"

Gao Yang said: "Yes, this project has actually been prepared for two or three years, and now it has the conditions to launch. Brother Tao is going to invest 5 million yuan, brother Lei and brother Yan are going to invest 3 million yuan each."

Xu Xin asked: "What is the initial investment scale of this project?"

Gao Yang said: "The project has not yet officially started, and the investment plan has not yet been drafted. I plan to increase the registered capital to 100 billion, which is real."

Xu Xin was shocked and said, "It's such a large scale, where did the 51 Group get so much money?"

Gu Yawen smiled slightly: "Sister Xin, it's no problem for the 51 Group to invest 300 billion yuan in this project. In the past two years, the company has invested in A shares and made a lot of money. Please help me with this matter." Confidential."

Xu Xin buzzed in her head, stunned, and asked, "Gao Yang, apart from funds, what resources does 51 Group have for the mobile phone project?"

After Gao Yang introduced the open source operating system of the Android company and a series of arrangements such as the registration of the headquarters of the smartphone company in Shudu High-tech Zone, Xu Xin suddenly realized that Gao Yang really had a plan.

After Xu Xin thought for a while, she asked again: "Gao Yang, are you so confident that the open source mobile operating system can occupy the market?"

Gao Yang took out his iPhone 3G and asked, "Sister Xin, are you using your iPhone?"

Xu Xin also took out an iPhone 3G: "I bought it in September, and it feels pretty good. Compared with the Logia and Dopod I used before, the experience is much better."

Gao Yang said: "Sister Xin, what we want to do is a high-end smart phone with innovative features like this.

The English version of android was developed by more than 200 first-class engineers in Silicon Valley for two years. After debugging and comparison, it is no worse than Apple's iOS.

In terms of hardware design and process manufacturing, we also have to benchmark the iPhone, even better than this phone.

Open source software systems are currently widely used in various fields around the world, and there are many developers.

The user experience of the android test has clearly surpassed Symbian and windows.

Now, the total user traffic of each Internet platform of the 51 Group has exceeded 8 million, and with the support of Yiwang, Baidu, Qihu and Jingdong Mall, we promote such a self-owned brand smart phone for high-end User, is it difficult?

After opening up the high-end market, it will be a matter of course to launch low-end and mid-end models. "

Xu Xin smiled sweetly: "Well, I believe in the strength of the 51 Group. Over the years, as long as it is a project that you like, there is no failure. Well...then let the venture capital invest 2500 million US dollars today, how about it? "

Gao Yang shook his head and smiled: "Sister Xin, we are not short of funds. If you want to invest in this project, you can only invest in your own name, and there is one condition."

Xu Xin was stunned and said, "Gao Yang, what do you mean by that?"

Gao Yang said: "Sister Xin, this project does not accept investment from European and American capital."

"Gao Yang, stop playing around with Sister Xin."

Gu Yawen blamed, and said with a smile: "Sister Xin, it's like this, Gao Yang plans to set up an investment center in 51 Group, and wants to invite you to be the chief investment officer of 51 Group to take charge of this work."

Xu Xin wondered, "Gao Yang, aren't you going to set up an Internet venture capital fund with Yiwang and Baidu? Why do you want to set up an investment center?"

Gao Yang said: "Sister Xin, let me tell you the truth, 51 Group now has hundreds of billions in cash."

"The 51 Group has hundreds of billions of funds?" Xu Xin was instantly stunned.

Gu Yawen said: "Sister Xin, this is a secret within our company. Only the shareholders and the heads of the companies know about it. Please keep it secret."

Xu Xin nodded: "Yawen, I understand."

Gu Yawen said again: "The investment center that Gao Yang wants to set up has three main directions.

The first is investment in new projects such as smart phones, the second is foreign mergers and acquisitions of some projects, and the third is venture capital funds.

The venture capital fund is mainly invested by 51 Group, and the proportion of Yiwang and Baidu will not exceed 30% in total.

In the next few years, including smartphone projects, the investment center will invest no less than 200 billion soft sister coins.

Gao Yang hopes that you will take over the overall investment of 51 Group. "

Xu Xin thought about it for a while, then suddenly asked with a smile: "Gao Yang, I'm going to be the chief investment officer of 51 Group, how much salary do you offer?"

Gao Yang said: "A million annual salary, the treatment of the vice president, is it enough?"

Xu Xin chuckled, "It doesn't seem to be enough."

Gao Yang said with a smile: "Well, for a talent like you, the annual salary of one million is indeed a bit less, but it's just your salary.

In addition, you can be a partner of a venture capital fund, and you can also hold shares in 51 Group through employee stock ownership, and participate in the group's annual dividends..."

After Gao Yang's detailed introduction, Xu Xin finally understood, and smiled: "I came to 51 Group to host the investment center, so what should I do with the venture capital today? I can't liquidate it and stop it."

Gao Yang asked, "Sister Xin, how much money do you have for venture capital today?"

Xu Xin said: "There is still more than 3000 million US dollars, and I own 15% of the shares."

Gao Yang thought about it: "It's only more than 3000 million US dollars. You can find someone capable in the company to help you manage the work. If there is a suitable project, you can just drop it."

Xu Xin thought for a while: "Forget it, I'll arrange an executive general manager, just pick some small projects and maintain them for a few more years. Now, just wait for Jingdong Mall and Qihu to develop quickly, and go to NASDA Grab the IPO."

At present, Xu Xin is not the queen of venture capital who became famous overnight after going public on Jingdong Mall. 51 Group's thighs are too thick now. Gao Yang plans to let her control more than 200 billion soft sister coins. tempted.

In the end, Xu Xin smiled and said, "Gao Yang, Yawen, the funds I can personally use to invest in this smartphone project are only 3000 million at most, can you take it?"

Gu Yawen smiled slightly: "Sister Xin, let me help you make up 1 million."

Xu Xin said: "Yawen, thank you, but I have basically no money if I invest this money, so I can only pay you the interest on the bank loan every year, is that okay?"

Gu Yawen said: "Sister Xin, there's no problem, you don't have to pay the interest on the funds now, and when you have enough money in the future, you can even pay off the principal with interest in one go."

Xu Xin was startled, and said cheerfully: "Yawen, Gao Yang, thank you so much, it's great to have a rich man like you as friends."

Gu Yawen smiled and said: "Sister Xin, we have known each other since we were young, you don't have to be so polite."

Gu Yawen knew that Gao Yang valued Xu Xin's ability and work experience very much. At this stage, Xu Xin was short of funds personally, so lending her 7000 million was really nothing.

Xu Xin asked Gao Yang again: "Gao Yang, when will the investment center be established?"

Gao Yang said: "Sister Xin, how about giving you half a month to deal with today's venture capital?"

Xu Xin smiled and said, "It doesn't take half a month, 10 days is enough."

After discussing with Xu Xin about joining the 51 Group, Gu Yawen sent her to a client to rest.

After that, he gently knocked open the master bedroom. Gao Yanggang finished washing and was about to go to sleep.

Gu Yawen whispered: "Mingming called me today and said that the house she bought has been furnished, and she wants to invite you to dinner tomorrow weekend, will you go?"

Gao Yang said: "Where did she buy the house?"

Gu Yawen said: "The second phase of Wanliuhua Mansion is the house of speculators. It is a 220-square-meter single-family villa with a total price of 600 million. No one has ever lived in it."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Why would she buy it here?"

Gu Yawen smiled slightly: "Zhang Miao arranged for someone to help her find it, and Mingming also consulted me. I think it's very good. It's close, and it's only a 10-minute walk. Tomorrow, are you going?"

Gao Yang thought about it: "Go and have a look, you and Ruohan go together."

Gu Yawen looked surprised: "What are I going to do with Ruohan, Ruohan will have a prenatal checkup tomorrow."

Gao Yang smiled slightly: "Then wait for Ruohan to finish the prenatal checkup and go have dinner together."

Gu Yawen said: "You, the more you are like this, the more nervous Mingming is in front of you, she dare not call you directly..."
