Wall Street Legend

   Chapter 290 Dinner (24)

  Ye Dongqing didn’t know whether Softbank had signed a priority financing right with the founder team headed by Jack when it was financing that year, but since they have agreed to accept financing, it must have been approved by Softbank.

   I don’t know why, but Sun Zhengyi didn’t continue to raise funds. It may also be that the founder team is unwilling to see a situation where one party dominates.

The market value of the Alibaba Group these days is only about 450 million US dollars, and it spent 500 million in financing, accounting for only 43% of the shares. From the current point of view, it must be a little bit of a loss. Ye Dongqing does not want to because of this I missed the opportunity with a small amount of money, so I agreed.

We can learn a lot from the failure of Yahoo. For example, Yahoo once reached an agreement with Facebook, but on the day of signing, the acquisition price was reduced from US$1 billion to more than US$800 million, so that Zha was so angry that he tore up the agreement on the spot, and then In this way, the company with a valuation of one billion dollars has been managed into hundreds of billions of dollars when Ye Dongqing jumped off the building.

  This story is enough to give Ye Dongqing some brains.

With the opportunity right in front of you, it doesn’t matter if you suffer a little bit now, who might have the last laugh, and said, “Go and act in a play, and say that I disagreed at first, but I was persuaded by you in the end.” I want to use this to urge them to sign the contract quickly, and it cannot be said that it has been successful before signing the contract."

   "OK, this is a job I'm good at. I also acted in a play when I was in the third grade. I still remember the acting knowledge taught by the teacher."

   "Act whatever you want, just don't mess it up, and don't exaggerate like a drama."

Ye Dongqing lit a cigar again, feeling a little excited, a large profit may be obtained, and it is not as twists and turns as investing in Apple, it took so long to get more than 40% of the shares, of course it will be very difficult Happy.

After Tencent, another Chinese Internet giant has "fell". In addition to financial factors, it also means that he can better complete the layout. The business that Taobao and Tencent are about to launch partially overlaps, and the competition At the same time, cooperation can also be carried out, such as facilitating the establishment of a joint venture transportation department between the two parties, which can reduce operating costs. Anyway, it is left handed and right handed, and everyone makes a fortune together...

  **********

  Karkawi's recovery speed was faster than Ye Dongqing expected.

  Getting involved in that kind of thing may ruin the contacts he has worked hard to accumulate for several years, so it is only a misunderstanding, driving speeding in New Jersey, getting involved in a small accident, and it has been resolved.

The last perfect week party had an accident and ended halfway through, he didn't give people a chance to stop, and once again sent out invitations to friends via Facebook, this social program was absolutely successful, seeping into people's lives at a frightening speed , many young people can't live without it, and the older group of people are farther and farther away from this era.

After online games, parents also began to worry about the harm of social networking to teenagers. Recently, the judiciary is discussing with the legal department of Facebook to further reduce the harm that social networking may cause, such as curbing the spread of certain bad pictures, illegal Online transactions, etc., auditing and other things are outsourced to an Indian company, where the cost of employment is lower. As long as someone reports a report, it will then enter the manual review process, and depending on the seriousness of the case, measures such as mandatory bans and account bans will be taken.

In addition, functions such as intelligent screening are also being developed. Silicon Valley is cooperating with several Indian software companies. Ever since she really entered this industry, Ye Dongqing knew how huge the software outsourcing business in India is. Even Boeing Many Indian programming companies have participated in the company's aircraft autopilot technology.

Compared with hiring employees in Silicon Valley, it is undoubtedly cheaper to outsource the business, and the cost may be only a quarter or a third, but the top engineers are mainly concentrated in Silicon Valley, and some industry elites are responsible for the architecture, front-end Certain tasks in the links, backend, and testing can be outsourced to Indians.

In just over a year, Ye Dongqing has more than 4,000 employees in Silicon Valley, not counting the employees of companies such as Apple, Netflix, and Amazon. Fortunately, the advertisements on Facebook do not worry about selling. It was only a small loss, mainly because it was dragged down by the overseas expansion and publicity plan. It has entered more than 30 countries and regions, and it has also made a name for itself in Europe, with more than 16 million users. As for the total number of users, it is increasing at a rate of more than one million per day. In his eyes, they are all about money and influence. The news business is under development, and he is preparing to compete with Google and Yahoo for the online news market.

   There were a lot of troubles, but overall it went smoothly.

I was planning to go to the party held by Karkawi tonight, and if I was lucky, I could find something beautiful, but I suddenly received a call from Angelina Jolie, saying that the machine will be turned on tomorrow, and I want to invite him have a meal.

  This inevitably made Ye Dongqing start to think about it. After all, the word "eat dinner" in the United States usually does not just mean dinner, it is similar to "come to my house for a cup of coffee" between the opposite sex.

   Of course, a slap is too much.

   Before Ms. Vigo left her job last year, she also invited Ye Dongqing to have dinner together. He didn't think much of it at the time.

   On one side is a party that has been attended more than ten times, and on the other side is Crawford in "Tomb Raider". How to choose? When he received the call, he immediately agreed, and then asked the housekeepers of the manor to help prepare dinner.

  Ye Dongqing changed the script by herself and added the plot involving the Cobra Building. It was a test for the attitude of the New York residents, and she generously lent her new home to the crew, provided that it did not cause too much damage.

  New Manor, just lived there for a few days, very precious. I have been secretly comparing it with the Rockefeller Manor, and I always feel that something is missing. I am already planning to buy the more than 400 acres of land on the shore and build a botanical garden open to the public, such as a tropical botanical garden and a desert landscape botanical garden. Cherry blossoms, red maple, and so on, turned into his own back garden, the land of the city hall, judging from the situation of the first contact, it is very likely that he will succeed.

After finishing all the matters at hand, Ye Dongqing returned to her manor by helicopter. It took one hour to drive, but it took 20 minutes to arrive by helicopter. Some blue, quite layered.

Angelina rushed over at noon and was busy discussing the plot with the screenwriter. The leading actor is Jason Statham. He is not well-known these days. Ye Dongqing is not stupid enough to invite this guy to come to his house for dinner. dinner…
