Fight To the Third Generation

Latest website: Being a shareholder in a company like Yahoo doesn't mean being a manager.

Equity is firmly in the hands of the founding members, and even a general meeting of shareholders has no right to interfere with the company's operations, as long as they don't make big mistakes.

Last month, when Yahoo held a shareholders' meeting, Su Yehao not only did not appear in person, but also did not find an agent.

A group of shareholders held a meeting, more like a unilateral transmission of information, and the shareholders could only sit and listen.

Of course, the corporate side will not go too far. Good suggestions will still be carefully evaluated. After all, investors unite enough to affect the trend of stock prices, and will also have an impact on the financing market.

The Internet industry has been developing in the United States for some years, and the rules and regulations are relatively mature. The founders generally control the right to speak by virtue of the company's articles of association and different rights for the same shares.

In other words, although Su Yehao is the eighth largest shareholder of Yahoo, he has no real power.

Even if you come to Yahoo, you can only be a distinguished guest.

Compared with the company founded by oneself, the status is very different. After all, it only owns about one-third of Yahoo's stock and has a lower voice.

is on vacation.

Most of Yahoo's employees were furloughed, and the CEO was said to have gone to the Panama Islands, this time without a chance to meet.

The idea of ​​poaching people from Yahoo never stopped, so as soon as he left with a small gift, Su Yehao told John Zhou, "Contact the headhunter for me, and while the Yahoo employees are on vacation, ask if there are any programmers who want to Change jobs, their development experience is useful to me, you can arrange specific positions."

John Zhou thought about how fast he turned his face, and said in his mouth:

"It may be a little difficult. In the early years, Internet companies in the United States poached people wildly, so an alliance was established. After employees join the job, they will also sign a non-compete agreement, stipulating how long they can't work in peer companies."

Su Yehao didn't expect this, but he did hear about it.

After pondering for a while, he then told John Zhou: "If they are real top talents, I am willing to pay liquidated damages for them, and I can also let some people come over as planners and work in person. It's a pity, and it may be more suitable to be the management. I value the tot project very much. In the future, I can support each other with tat and seize users in the mainland, even if I spend a little more money.”

John Zhou smiled and said, "If you say that, then I'll help you find a way. The money earned by investing in Yahoo stock is used to poach people from Yahoo. It's very interesting."

Pinching his eyebrows, Su Yehao sighed and told:

"I'm just a minority shareholder with a few percent of the shares. It's clear which one is lighter and which one is more important. It must be my own business, which needs to be given priority."

...

It took half a day for a short visit.

Su Yehao has a deeper understanding of the current industrial development in Silicon Valley.

Look at the garages on the street, many of which are rented to entrepreneurial teams, with various company signs hanging up, and office buildings near Stanford, which are often divided into small sets and rented to people to start businesses.

There was a street full of all kinds of venture capital and financial companies, so that Su Yehao wanted to bring Koko Ventures over to join in the fun.

impression.

In the future, Yahoo, which declined in the future, once rejected the famous Google and Facebook, but also successfully financed the Alibaba of Ma Boss.

The dilemma of another horse owner seeking to sell penguins, but no one buys them, is equally interesting.

Su Yehao, like everyone else, has seen jokes about this. However, when he became an investment talent, he found that it was not easy to seek gold in the waves, mainly because there were too many entrepreneurial teams, which were so dazzling that it was difficult to do one by one. Check carefully whether it is reliable.

For example, since the financing of Yinhai, the entrepreneur who took the initiative to find Koko Ventures in Hong Kong City has never stopped from beginning to end.

Not only entrepreneurs from the mainland, but also projects in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Xin and other regions. Some people have a mouth and an idea in their head, even without a plan, they dare to ask for millions of investment. Projects that have no future are treasures, such as blogs and forums on the fire. The threshold for starting a business is relatively low. There are many people who think they will succeed when they find a certain direction.

If you want to know the bead of wisdom, in addition to your own ability, it is more about luck and chance.

Some things cannot be forced.

Su Yehao looked around, many familiar companies had not yet been born, and he didn't even know whether it would appear again in the future because of his own accident.

There was really no way, and I didn't want to miss the huge treasure, so I had to roll up my sleeves and end up by myself.

So far, we have owned Yinhai's wps, tat instant chat program, and tat mailbox. With the successful completion of the acquisition, the search engine and portal website project temporarily named "tot" is also hopeful in the next one or two. to the market within a month.

Don't look at fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, relying on his strong financial resources and vicious vision, Su Yehao has indeed done a lot of things, but he has not seen returns in the short term, and it is still other investments that make more money.

At the end of December 1997, according to the local time on the West Coast of the United States, there were only three days left until the New Year.

Su Yehao spent a few minutes reviewing the past of this year, and in a blink of an eye he left business behind again...

Take Yin Liuli and drive south along California Highway 1.

After visiting the central coastline, we went to Pebble Beach Golf Course for a stroll, and then went to Hearst Castle on the seaside near San Simeon.

The destination is Disneyland in Los Angeles. I thought about going back to Hong Kong directly from Los Angeles after a day of play, and booked a first-class ticket in advance, or a United Airlines plane, Boeing 747.

Originally, Nong Qingying wanted to go to Tokyo Disneyland to play, but Su Yehao came to Disney for the first time in his life, but he accompanied Yin Liuli first.

Due to time difference.

When they came to Disneyland in Los Angeles, it was already 1998 in Hong Kong City. During the New Year's Eve, Nangong Tian called first, and Su Yehao immediately called Nong Qingying.

Yin Liuli probably heard it, but she didn't ask any more questions, she had already counted it in advance~www.readwn.com~ just opened one eye and closed one eye.

After getting along for more than half a year, this tacit understanding has been established.

After all, what can I do if I talk about it, since I didn't plan to separate, talking about this topic made both of them uncomfortable.

Missing the New Year's Eve in the casino, Su Yehao accompanied Yin Liuli to New Year's Eve in Los Angeles.

The first day of 1998.

After getting on the plane, Yin Liuli saw Su Yehao sighing and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Something was left in the hotel?"

Su Yehao shook his head:

"No, it suddenly occurred to me that the manufacturing company of Gulfstream Business Jets is in the United States, so I should take the time to check it out. Forget it, next time, let them find a newest aircraft and bring it to me. They want to take out a loan to buy one. The accounting firm told me that this year I have paid a lot of taxes, and there is still a chance to recover some losses before the deadline for filing, it is a pity to leave it to the old Portuguese..."
