Wall Street Legend

   Chapter 227 Tencent (24)

  Silicon Valley is currently a difficult topic for all Internet practitioners in the world.

  Ye Dongqing doesn’t have much pursuit of the mainstream idea of ​​“changing the world” in Silicon Valley. His pursuit is still superficial, and he is used to linking everything with money and interests.

   Habitual thinking is difficult to change, and there may be higher pursuits in the future, but not now, his rising time is too short, and he has not fully adapted. This mentality has also been experienced by other super rich people, but from experience, most of them will eventually regard the wealth in the account as a series of simple numbers, and turn to pursue things that make them feel more self-satisfied, such as helping to change the world in which people live.

Take Gates as an example. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was too arrogant when he was young. For example, he built a mansion that could keep whale sharks, chartered the entire island for marriage, and bought a private jet. and yachts, as well as various auctioned antiques, etc. Later, he began to pay attention to charity, and together with his wife, he wanted to do something for the world.

   Ye Dongqing may also pay attention to these things in the future, but definitely not now. He still has to experience life well. When he gets tired of it, he might be able to settle down. It’s hard to be young again, so what if he doesn’t have fun?

   After a meal, Ye Dongqing drank four glasses of wine, half full.

In the past, using drunkenness to overcome jet lag had some effect, this time he also planned to get himself half drunk, and continued to overcome jet lag when he went back, and he became more talkative after drinking too much alcohol. At this moment, he said: "I plan to donate something this time when I come back. The things produced by our company, such as 10,000 computers, Apple’s computers, will be delivered after the next release of new products, the appearance and performance are absolutely amazing!”

District Chief Huang has never heard of the Apple brand. In this era, Apple is not doing well in the United States, let alone in China, but getting so many computers for nothing, worth at least two or three billion, is already very good. I have never heard of it. Others had to pick and choose what they sent, so they immediately nodded their thanks and drank a glass with their heads up.

  Bonny Ma didn't know Ye Dongqing's drinking capacity, sat beside him dumbfounded, and didn't know whether it was true or drunk, so he whispered to remind Ye Dongqing to drink less.

   "Thank you, I thank you on behalf of the children in the school. There is a saying that the popularization of computers should start from the baby. The chief designer of the reform and opening up said that my youngest son is learning how to surf the Internet..."

  Ye Dongqing drank some, but she was not drunk yet, and knew exactly what she was doing.

In other words, thank you. I can’t say whether it’s worth it or not. If you have to care about donations, then it’s better to be a person like Grandet. It’s already January, and you will have to pay taxes again soon. Instead of spending it on your own For places that are missing, it is better to donate it yourself, at least you can get a good reputation, and it will also help Tencent and Apple to a certain extent.

Before he came back, he had already planned to donate something, which was part of the plan. At this moment, he waved his hand and said, "That's about it for tonight. I'm a little tired. I must learn computers. The sooner the better, otherwise it will be very difficult." Almost out of date.

There are so many Internet companies in Pengcheng, and it may become the second Silicon Valley in the future. Before, I wanted to cooperate with a company called Huawei to develop mobile phones, but I was rejected. I am optimistic about the development potential of that company, just like I value Tencent just as much. As long as the support is in place, based on the huge Chinese market, it will not be a problem to develop some giant companies. "

  …

   After going back, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next day.

  After washing up, drink some water, go out to find breakfast, and eat a bowl of delicious wonton noodles, which is much more comfortable.

  I also ordered crab roe buns and two meat buns. After eating them all, I wiped my mouth, thinking that if I live here for a long time, my muscles will probably turn into a pile of fat very quickly, and the taste is absolutely worthless.

A good day starts with breakfast, and then takes a car to visit Tencent’s old headquarters. It’s no wonder that Boni wants to change places. The old building really has no bright spots to be attached to. The stairs are covered with various small advertisements, and there are door-to-door phone calls from beautiful women. Yes, the other is loans, recruitment and so on.

The employees were working, Bonny and a group of company executives came to greet him, among them was Zeng Qing who had met him in New York, after shaking hands, it was a normal courtesy, sitting in front of a computer and using QQ, go to experience Tencent.com again.

The group of employees from Silicon Valley were also there, sitting not far away, each with a computer in front of them, and they were busy writing code. Bonnie told: "Your group of people helped me find out who was blackmailing us, Other aspects are well hidden, but I found a series of IP addresses in the extortion video, which is right here in Pengcheng. I have already contacted the police. If I am lucky, I may be able to catch the group who broke up my company.

If they had a better attitude, I might still want to recruit them to work for Tencent, but those people are too disgusting, they attack our firewall for money, so I hope they will spend their time in prison, such a large amount of money is enough to sue them Scammed and blackmailed. "

"This is really good news. You guys made this Tencent very interesting, so you want to buy Sohu, right? I went to their English version of the homepage and read about it. There are also various news and direct login websites. " Ye Dongqing asked, pointing at the computer screen.

  "Well, the acquisition plan has been abandoned. At that time, you said that we could do it ourselves, but now we find that we can do it, and it's pretty good. If we really bought it at that time, there would be problems with the flow of funds.

  Tencent.com hardly makes any money. What really makes money is these little things. A set of clothes costs 20 to 30 yuan, and a personalized homepage also needs money. You can’t imagine how willing people are to pay for these things. "

The clothes are not real clothes, but virtual clothes on the chat homepage. After Ye Dongqing saw it, he began to consider whether Facebook could follow suit, but he quickly rejected it. The page should be simpler, but it should be provided to Users have more choices, and the same sometimes means that it is easy to get bored.

"There are still these levels, right? I have seen in the report that users will pay for memberships in order to enjoy different services. This set may not work in the United States, but it is the most important thing. You are a new market. Let After users form a certain habit, business will be much easier in the future, games can be recharged, and other members can also recharge, no wonder Tencent’s performance is growing so fast.”

  Ye Dongqing smiled and said that he had no idea about this company before, but he already had it after seeing it personally. He still had the same idea. He thought it would be very profitable...
