Rebirth

"John, now you are a new billionaire and famous all over the United States. Why don't you come to Silicon Valley anymore. Are you afraid that we will ask you for a treat?" After everyone sat down, Don Valentine joked with a smile.

"Hi, Mr. Valentine, didn't you also buy some shares in Netscape at the time? Why didn't you make a deal?

And I borrowed money from you. You are safe, don't worry at all, don't worry about this and that all day long.

In just six months, the 50 million borrowed at the beginning has become 60 million. Is there a more lucrative business?"Li Feng responded with a smile.

"Haha..." Hearing Li Feng's teasing response, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room.

"Yeah, I was still saying at the time, why the kid John gave the money to Tang, you know we are friends, why didn't the kid John come to me.

In any case, I am also called John, isn't it? No, it was a waste of money for Tang and made him a fortune."No, John Durr of KPCB also teased.

"Wow, haha..." Hearing John Durr's teasing, there was another burst of laughter in the meeting room, as if the previous fierce debate had not happened.

......

"You guys are all deceived by this kid. He used Yahoo shares as a mortgage before. I was still wondering why he suddenly paid me back. It turns out that this round of Yahoo investment, he wants to talk again."

When Tang Valentine saw Li Feng personally come to Yahoo, he knew what Li Feng meant.I have to say that these people are still human spirits. No, Li Feng said, everyone else also reacted.

If the shares are still mortgaged in Sequoia, then Li Feng’s share rights will be held by Sequoia on behalf of Sequoia. Now Li Feng has paid back the funds and took back Yahoo’s shares. Obviously, he has his own ideas for this round of financing. Up.

"Hehe, we are all for the good of Yahoo, right? Let's talk about it, you can talk about the latest development." Li Feng said with a smile.

"John, in fact, the basic point of view is the same, that is, the valuation is still a bit different. We insist on 2 billion, and their current offer is as high as 1.6 billion, and they are still talking." Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile. In fact, these Li Feng knew it before.

"That is to say, 20% of the shares will raise 400 million US dollars, right?" Li Feng said with a smile to everyone.

"It's true."

"Well, I am willing to admit your management's valuation, if they are not willing, I can invest." Li Feng said with a smile to everyone.

......

"John, you can't eat alone." Well, everyone was anxious when they heard Li Feng's words. Someone directly said that Li Feng could not eat alone.

"Haha... Look, don’t you all want this? In fact, everyone knows that Yahoo is still very good. I also talked to Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan and the management. They are going to be listed in the first half of next year. I believe Yahoo! Can give us a generous return."

"Well, since it's all like this, let's shed whatever you want." Don Valentine interrupted at this time.

Well, whether it is Sequoia or KPCB, IDG, Hexcel Capital, Softbank, AOL, etc., all stay.

In addition to meeting some old friends before, Li Feng also saw a new capital power-Hexcel Capital and SoftBank, which are considered acquaintances. At the same time, Li Feng also saw a new investor-SoftBank.

"John, I have never seen an investor like you." John Durr also joked at this time.

Now that they all agreed, everyone laughed.

......

"Haha, everyone, besides being an investor, I can barely be regarded as one of the founders of Yahoo. At the same time, I get along very well with Zhiyuan Yang and David. They are very good friends. Of course, I hope Yahoo can develop smoothly. Isn't it."

"Well, Yahoo has brought you great rewards, right."

"It's true. Without Yahoo, I wouldn't be who I am now. I always know how to be grateful, right." Li Feng smiled.

Hearing what Li Feng said, everyone smiled and nodded. Everyone likes to be able to make friends with people who know how to be grateful.

Seeing everyone smiled and reached an agreement, Li Feng thought to himself, I wouldn't have come if I didn't know the future development of Yahoo.

Well, if everyone knows what he is thinking, they will probably withdraw everyone's praise, and Li Feng's villain behavior will not be changed.

The next step is to discuss the issue of shares.

......

Taking into account his own situation, Li Feng invested 50 million again to obtain a 2.5% stake in the new Yahoo.As for others, Li Feng is too lazy to manage, let them argue.

At the same time, in this financing, half of the shares do not have voting rights on the board of directors. This is something everyone has discussed.

Li Feng’s previous 17.5% of the shares were diluted to 14%. In the end, Li Feng had 16.5% of the shares left in Yahoo, thinking that he would just wait for the listing.

Yes, after discussing with Zach, Li Feng counted their shares together and put them all in the investment company, and Zach also got 1% of the investment company's shares.In this regard, Zach also agreed, saying that it was all given by you, and it would work together.

At the same time, this 50 million emptied all the funds on the investment company's books.After completing all the procedures and signing the contract, everyone naturally celebrated.

Although I was still blushing before, but when it was confirmed, they all talked and laughed again. Li Feng can only see that life is like a play and drama is like life.

With the formal conclusion of Yahoo's financing negotiations, news of Yahoo's valuation and successful financing naturally began to circulate, both industry practitioners and the media were amazed.

With a valuation of 2 billion, how many companies have done a lifetime and have a market value of less than 2 billion, and Yahoo has only 2 rounds of financing, and the valuation is 2 billion. Is it because the people who heard it wrong or the investors are crazy Up.

Naturally, a new round of Internet boom has been fired up again.

......

Naturally, there are people who are admired and there are black people. This is how this world is, especially after the news that Li Feng was the first to acknowledge Yahoo’s 2 billion valuation, which naturally caused Li Feng to receive a lot of attention. It is also unavoidable to be suspected of being "trusted", although Li Feng doesn't care.

"2 billion, this is Yahoo!" This was the headline of the second day of the Wall Street Journal.

The Daily News believes that Yahoo’s valuation of 2 billion is a worthwhile investment. The current market value of Netscape far exceeds 2 billion. The daily paper clearly puts forward the concept of Yahoo going far beyond Netscape, and that Yahoo represents the Internet. .

Thus began a comprehensive introduction to Yahoo, from the very beginning to Li Feng’s first angel investment, to development and the first venture capital, the next Yahoo’s development in the world, and the latest second round of financing.

Let people understand Yahoo comprehensively for the first time, and at the same time expressed surprise that Yahoo quietly completed the layout in English and Europe.

At the same time, he praised Yahoo's goal of spreading the world in the future, thinking that Yahoo's management is a wise leader, which will make Yahoo a representative and banner of the Internet.

In the next few days, newspapers across the United States began to follow Yahoo's news. From founders to management to various venture capital institutions, etc., they became the target of many media.

......

Naturally, among the crowd, Yang Zhiyuan, David Filo and Li Feng were naturally the focus of attention, especially Li Feng once again became the focus of the national media.

After all, I just paid attention not long ago. With this Yahoo financing, Li Feng has once again become the focus of attention. Many media even call Li Feng the focus of news, and he can become the focus of everyone everywhere.

Especially as the Wall Street Journal's attention to Li Feng again led to the exposure of Li Feng's previous investment in Microsoft and Cisco, naturally, Yahoo's shares and a number of new companies, the Wall Street Journal ingeniously launched a page a few days later.

The title of "the youngest billionaire wealth creator" was crowned Li Feng, and this 15-year-old Li Feng once again attracted widespread attention in the United States.

Concerns about wealth are always the most eye-catching, and this time is the same.
