Fight to the third generation

"Just two years ago, I was still thinking about providing the best service for users. Later, I had to consider the interests of shareholders, the evaluation of institutions and the media, so I could only increase the intensity of advertising. At that time, the evaluation of Yahoo's use was not good. Very good, they are all repeating the same path. Even if the acquisition fails, trying to attract more new users to join us can still guarantee us a large lead. No matter in reserve funds, total revenue or profits, Yahoo is crushing all aspects Google."

Hirosue Mamoru nodded and smiled after listening:

"Nietzsche said that if you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself. If you stare at the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back. The prince of the Hong Kong business world has seen how Yahoo makes money. Their financial pressure should have already It is increasing, once it starts trying to increase revenue, the core advantage of concise pages will disappear, such as his Kaomoji Group, isn’t it also trying to increase advertising.”

"Well, that's the reason..."

They thought that Su Yehao would need to think about it for a while, and they wanted to be patient and wait for the news.

After chatting with Yang Zhiyuan, Mamoru Hirosue, Senior Vice President of Softbank, returned to the office and sent an email to Masayoshi Son. There is a time difference between the two places, and this matter is not important enough to disturb the boss to rest.

In the past two years, the market of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley has been very good. Su Yehao is not the only one who has made money from it. Japan's Softbank has raised a large amount of funds through private equity during this period, relying on the generous returns it brings to investors.

Hirosue Mamoru took the lead in focusing on Google this time. He introduced it to Sun Zhengyi at the beginning of this year. However, they met Su Yehao, who is not short of money, and they have not been able to find opportunities for financing and equity participation.

……

About Google's next development plan, Su Yehao probably has a good idea.

He put this matter aside first, went home and stayed in the study to process the documents, with a golden nanmu box in his hand, which contained four seals.

The seal was given by Mr. Tang.

The materials are Tian Huang, Chicken Blood Stone, Emperor Green Jade, and Hetian Jade.

The engravings on the bottom are "Su Ye Hao Yin", "Be prepared for danger in times of peace", "Thousands of gold are not easy", "Contentment is always happy, and the best is like water". The latter three are more like proverb seals, which belong to the teachings of my grandfather.

I still remember that my mother bought an ancestral seal for my grandfather two years ago, which is an old tradition.

It is conceivable that Su Yehao used the most, of course, the Tianhuang seal with his name engraved on it.

The Longquan ink pad made of lotus root silk is very pleasing in color. After signing some important documents, it is stamped with a seal by the way, which is both formal and anti-counterfeiting.

After finishing the business, he turned on the computer, and after replying to Xiao Nizi and the others, he tried to play the new game developed by the company.

Villefort Game Company, which developed "Half-Life", released the game disc "Half-Life: Rivalry" two months ago, and now its sales have officially exceeded 50. The company is now applying for 1000 million US dollars of funds for Develop a next-generation game engine.

Although Su Yehao doesn't know what a game engine is at all, it doesn't prevent him from feeling that Valve's new game is better than before, so he quickly approved the application of the company's management and sent an email to the assistant's office. call.

Stay home until evening.

Lin Youfeng, the vice president of KOKO Venture Capital, called to tell him that the plan was ready, and some data needed to be discussed with Su Yehao.

So they went out again and found a western restaurant to meet, and Yin Liuli also went with them.

The so-called data is nothing more than how many integrated chips it purchases from Qualcomm, how many mobile phones it promises to produce within how long, and so on.

According to Qualcomm's regulations, in addition to the need to obtain the development authorization of CDMA mobile phones in the production process, it must also pay an intellectual property transfer authorization fee equivalent to 2.5% of the selling price, an authorization fee for upgrading chip software, and a mobile phone that is forced to use a CDMA network. Chips from Qualcomm can be purchased.

It seems that there is no full Netcom in this era, and there is a competitive relationship between CDMA and GSM.

to be honest.

Qualcomm is a robber, relying on its patents to buy and sell by force.

It's a pity that even though he knew this, Su Yehao still couldn't avoid it. He wanted to seize the opportunity to accumulate some experience in mobile phone production, and then slowly consider breaking out of Qualcomm's framework restrictions.

He decided to promise to produce 2000 million mobile phones within five years, and the total purchase from Qualcomm should not be less than one billion US dollars.

The premise is to reduce the purchase price to US$[-] million...

Chapter 572 A Text Message

A well-decorated western restaurant with a relatively high grade.

A white pianist was playing, and the surrounding lights were dim. Most of the customers in the store were couples, and there were also many people talking about business.

When the waitress was delivering food to Su Yehao, she took the opportunity to whisper that she was a fan of Su Yehao and that she was a junior at Stanford University, and wanted to ask when Yanwen Group would recruit again.

Regarding this question, Su Yehao was not clear either, and only replied that an announcement would be published on the official website at that time.

The delicious tomahawk steak was delivered to him.

The work-study waitress didn't bother her much, she would pay attention to the official website after she finished speaking, and left with a smile, probably because she was afraid of being annoying, and she wouldn't be able to get a tip later.

Tasting the red wine of Screaming Eagle Winery newly launched this year, Vice President Lin Youfeng told:

"This winery is in Oak Village in California's Napa Valley. I drove there with my friends to visit it. Although it is a bit forced to move closer to a high-end winery brand, the taste of the wine is really good. It is a huge United States. There is less than one high-end brand, so it’s no wonder that they specialize in their operations, often sending red wines representing vintages to auctions and selling them at sky-high prices as publicity.”

Su Yehao said frankly:

"Red wine, I can't drink it good or bad. If I change the bottle, it feels the same. Just like a woman's handbag, [-]% of the cost, [-]% of the gross profit, and half of the gross profit is used for publicity to further expand Fame, in addition to the income of distributors, shareholders, and restaurants, as long as the brand is operated, the net profit is quite high."

Lin Youfeng nodded and said with a smile: "President Su, if you want to invest, I can ask the owner of Xiaoying Winery. Consumers in Europe and the United States have a solid impression of red wine brands, and they like French Latour, Lafite, Mart Song, Romanee-Conti, etc., it is easier for new brands to open up markets in Asia.”

Su Yehao replied decisively:

"Forget it, do you still think I don't have enough things? I'm already learning to focus on the big and let go of the small, focusing on high-profit industries monopolized by technology. If you have money, you can buy wineries and the like. If you give a suitable premium, Ross Both Lafite and Mouton of the Childe family are likely to be acquired. The market competition is too great, and there is no technical content in making this kind of money. Even investing in liquor and beer in China is more promising than investing in the already famous wine estates. "

After listening to him carefully, Lin Youfeng silently memorized the two fields of liquor and beer.

Since the beginning of this year, the business of KOKO Venture Capital has been tightened, and it is only responsible for a few jobs that help Su Yehao.

The topic changed.

Lin Youfeng tasted the beef-eye steak and asked, "That's right, then I'll change the plan tonight and meet with the people from Qualcomm tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, remember to go early, don't delay their meeting of the board of directors. These companies have scattered equity, and it is difficult to be efficient."

While eating the Tomahawk steak, Su Yehao's tone was calm, and he continued:

"With my purchase order worth one billion U.S. dollars, plus at least 1 million more patent licensing fees, I believe that after the news is announced, Qualcomm's stock price will rise by three or four points. Compared with these profits, if Qualcomm's board of directors still If you dare to haggle over the purchase price again, then I will find cooperation with Motorola or a Japanese mobile phone manufacturer, remember to be tougher then."

"I'm going to meet their board members? What about you?" Lin Youfeng asked in surprise.

Su Yehao replied in a natural tone: "I have more important things to do. Tomorrow, I will take her to the aquarium in Monterey Bay. In addition, there is also the inspection of the wafer foundry. You remember to arrange for Mr. Zhang Rujing and the others. Okay, if you have any trouble, call me directly, and it is best to bring a few headhunters to accompany me to find more talents in the field of wafer chip processing for me."

Yin Liuli, who was eating melons quietly at the side, realized that the topic suddenly turned on her, and almost choked and coughed.

For some reason, from Lin Youfeng's eyes, she saw the words "a beauty is a disaster".

Leaving such an important big business aside and leaving it alone, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to travel near the famous Seventeen Mile Bay on California Highway [-].

Whether it is the acquisition of Qualcomm's mobile phone production business, Google's financing plan, or the inspection of wafer foundries, each project involves billion-dollar decisions.

Without Su Yehao personally sitting in charge, Vice President Lin Youfeng really didn't have the confidence to shoulder the burden.

This is much trickier than spending millions to acquire a game company or raising millions of dollars in a startup team.

……

That night.

When Su Yehao went home to take a shower, Yin Liuli saw the screen of his mobile phone lit up, and unexpectedly found that the text message read—"What are you doing, the fourth day of separation from Brother Hao, I miss you..."

The contact list has a "sweet" word written on it.

If it was another girl, it would have exploded by this time.

But she remained calm, she didn't intend to look at Su Yehao's phone at all, and the image of Nangongtian even appeared in her mind.

It's just that Yin Liuli is more homely, and it's not that she never touches newspapers and magazines.

Regarding Su Yehao's private life, it has long been reported to Man Tianfei, and a reporter once interviewed Nangong Tian, ​​how could Yin Liuli have never heard of it.

but.

Usually Su Yehao was not so careless and never showed anything in front of her, but today he forgot to bring his mobile phone with him, which resulted in him being caught.

Just after seeing the content of the text message, Yin Liuli frowned slightly with a strange expression.

The main thing is to send a message like this to say "miss you", she can't do it anyway, and suddenly feels that she has learned some new knowledge.

During her life in the gambling city, she often heard people gossip that women would act like a baby and love others, so it would be easier to hold men firmly in the palm of their hands. At this moment, Yin Liuli found that it made sense.

He simply gritted his teeth, not caring about running around all day, so he picked out a nightgown and changed into it.

As for the drawer she kept... the standard clothes, she didn't bring any of them with her, considering that she was afraid of being inspected by the customs and would die in public.

When Su Yehao appeared in the room, he found that Yin Liuli only turned on the bedside lamp, and smiled at himself.

He suddenly understood again...

……

Far away in Hong Kong.

Su Yehao was not at home, Nangong Tian asked Jiang Yu to pass the time with her these two days, and lived together at night, so as not to leave the huge house empty and scary.

At 01:30 in the afternoon of Hong Kong City time, the two of them were in the company, looking through the first five episodes of "Fengyun" comics.

Seeing the martial arts conference, how is the golden scale a thing in the pool, and how it can turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm, Jiang Yu just wanted to doze off and said with a headache: "Boys are really different from us, after such a TV series is produced, can they make money? I think it looks so boring, it's the old routine of calling back and forth to avenge family members."

Nangong Tian was also unsure, thought for a while and said:

""The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Ba Bu" are similar to this, they should be okay. Brother Hao ignored me again, thanks to my worrying about him."

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, and joked with a smile: "Accounting for the time difference, you might be hugging some canary, you can take the plane and catch that one in bed..."

Chapter 573 Money Can't Fall From The Sky

Midnight on the West Coast of the United States.

For some reason, Su Yehao's right eyelid twitched wildly. While Yin Liuli was already asleep, he came to the study to call Xiaonizi to report her safety.

now.

Nangongtian said coquettishly on the other end of the phone: "Brother Hao, what are you doing, why are you ignoring me for so long?"

"Please, it's night in the United States. I fell asleep just now. If I didn't drink too much water and woke up at night, I wouldn't have seen you text me at all."

This level of nonsense, Su Yehao already knew it easily, and then added:

"I'm very busy today. I visited Qualcomm in the morning and met with the CEO of Yahoo in the afternoon. I not only need to assist the inspection team from China, but also deal with the affairs of Google. Zhiyuan Yang and Masayoshi Son of Softbank are trying to acquire Google with US$12 billion... ..."

heard.

Nangong Tian was immediately distracted, and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Wow...then you made a fortune again this time! Jiang Yu said before that you must go to the canary and asked me to go to Silicon Valley with her to arrest people. I said that Brother Hao has such a high vision, so it depends Seeing a beautiful girl like Vera Andrade, right?

Su Yehao clearly heard Jiang Yu's voice, and she exclaimed, "You're going to die! You betrayed me!"

Holding the mobile phone, the corners of Su Yehao's mouth twitched, and he finally guessed why his right eyelid was twitching. It really was a catastrophe.

If, as Jiang Yu suggested, he sneaked to Silicon Valley with Xiao Nizi, wouldn't it be doomed?

A few days ago in New York, I had a meal with Miss Vera, and it seemed that they still remembered this matter.

Hearing Nangongtian mention Vera Andrade, Su Yehao said helplessly: "Don't think about it, I have nothing to do with Vera. The last time I contacted was when I was in New York. There is no need for you to travel all the way to Silicon Valley I guess I'll be back in two or three days..."

Chatted for a few minutes, made an excuse to continue sleeping, and hung up the phone first.

After being frightened by her just now, Su Yehao simply turned on the computer, logged into each financial account to check, and found that the total loss of the day was more than 6000 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the total amount, this amount can only be regarded as a normal small fluctuation.

Investing in stocks is inherently ups and downs. As long as the general trend is rising, his income is still very guaranteed.

The Buddha family looked around and was surprised to find that the total value of the assets managed by the Meidi Group had reached more than 4000 million U.S. dollars, which was about 20 billion yuan when converted into RMB, which was several hundred million more than the figure in his impression.

At the beginning, Meidi Group only gave him a principal of [-] million yuan. Almost half of the profit from this proceeds went to Father Su's Universal International Group, and the rest was earned for other shareholders of Meidi Group.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Once the funds are properly used, the Midland Group will completely secure its leading position in the home appliance industry in the mainland, and it will be used to build a new headquarters building. By the way, it will also solve the funding problem of the mobile phone production factory. Funding can also drive technological upgrades.

Considering the many restrictions imposed by the United States on technology transfer in the Mainland.

If it is possible to acquire the mobile phone production business from Qualcomm, Su Yehao will first operate in the name of Gangcheng Company, and then find a way to provide parts and a complete set of solutions to the Midi Group.

As long as Qualcomm can make money, I believe they will help withstand the pressure from other mobile phone manufacturers, after all, we are competitors.

After reading the new email in the mailbox, Su Yehao logged into the Yinhai Weibo website again.

Suddenly, the computer beeped non-stop, all of which were reminders of private messages, comments, and likes. After casually flipping through it, I found that there were quite a lot of people who were eating melons, and there were also a lot of people who scolded their mothers.

There are also people who just scold for the sake of scolding, saying things like "I earn a few hundred a month, and I will spend my life buying a new house?"

Su Yehao was speechless after reading it, and muttered:

"If you have the ability to do great things, you want good things but you don't have money. Isn't it just a dream? Now the second-hand houses in the city and the houses in small towns and small towns don't seem to be very expensive..."

He has been through this age.

I still remember that my relatives bought a homestead for thousands of dollars, and built a small two-story building with tens of thousands of dollars. The upstairs and downstairs add up to a total of more than 200 square meters and a large yard.
