Chapter 319 Arrangement (34 please subscribe)

A lot of money has been squeezed out of Skype.

It cost just over 20 million U.S. dollars when I bought it back. Later, I invested some more money, about 50 million U.S. dollars. Counting other miscellaneous expenses, the total investment was only about 100 million U.S. dollars.

The current valuation is as high as about two billion US dollars. It is a bit difficult to make money by charging, because free video calls, voice chat technologies, etc. will soon appear, which will inevitably squeeze out a large amount of the market, and even the profit income will be very limited.

Ye Dongqing remembered that after it was bought by Microsoft in his previous life, its market value was still only seven to eight billion US dollars. That was already after 2017. He couldn't remember the specific date, and he forgot which report he saw it from.

Controlling Facebook, the traffic of Skype has become insufficient.

Now with the emergence of new potential enemies, it seems irrational to continue to stalemate with those influential communication giants. It is better to save some blood and make the book data more beautiful. In addition, it can also expand the flow of funds. , in order to better resist risks.

After such a long time, it was enough for Mr. McCord to adjust his position. When he first took the position, he thought he could display his talents. Later, he discovered that he was actually more like a big housekeeper. He only needed to implement Ye Dongqing's ideas. Ye Dongqing can handle the development direction and expansion strategy directly.

Seeing his boss turning his attention to himself, Mr. McCord nodded decisively and said: I will release the news about the share sale soon. Google seems to be very interested, but their offer is only 1.6 billion US dollars. I originally planned to put down more money. If you insist, I will agree to sell part of it to Google.

What should I do? I just want you to tell the executives of those communications giants that it would be best to achieve a win-win situation and bring them to invest in it together.

It’s hard to say whether Google is sincere. It’s about to go public, right? Maybe it’s releasing false news to induce investors to continue to be optimistic about its stock price. There are many talented people on Google’s board of directors, such as Campbell, although I kicked him out of the Apple shareholder meeting, I have to admit that the guy has a pretty good vision.

In his own company, Ye Dongqing is always very strong. He is too young. If he is not respected by others, he will not be able to control his employees.

Lake, COO of Tamsui Investment Group, who worked as a director of a hedge fund department under Goldman Sachs before being hired with a high salary, reminded Ye Dongqing:

Leo, your foundation is too weak and you can easily be targeted. I admit that our company is very powerful, but it still has shortcomings. All the money has been made by our company. Other companies on Wall Street will definitely be dissatisfied with this. , maybe you should release some news and tell them when they will be listed and when they will receive financing. In order to build a good relationship with you and get financing opportunities from you, I believe those people will not want to be resented by you. No one here will fight against interests, and enemies can become friends.

This is when Ye Dongqing, who has little social experience, tries to tell him some tips on how to handle relationships well when doing business.

Stimulated by the breaking news, it has been more than ten hours since then. He has almost calmed down. He waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: There is no rush at the moment. Our financial situation is fine at the moment. We have made a lot of money from the oil futures market. Next, I can make a lot of money by selling Skype stocks. If that doesn't work, I will think of other ways to make money. Maybe I can also get a mortgage first. The real debt ratio is not that high.

It's already getting late. Let's all go back. I just want you to pay attention next time. We've already caused a lot of trouble. The company can't cause any more trouble. I have a feeling they won't let go easily. Let's take one step at a time and do a good job. Be prepared, as long as investors are not incited, there will be no problems on our side.

This is indeed the case. If his strength was still average in the middle of last year, Tamsui Investment Group has grown up now and cannot be destroyed by a little storm. If it is really not possible, even if he gives up something, Ye Dongqing is confident that he will All opponents fell down.

If he had another five or eight years to develop his business, he would be confident that others would not be able to resist him, but he still lacked some time to develop.

…

After the brief meeting, another group of people walked into his office.

They are all from Ye Dongqing's personal secretarial team. More than half of them are from prestigious schools such as Yale and Harvard. The minimum is a master's degree, and there are several Ph.D.s. While handling the work, they also act as think tanks and can occasionally help check for deficiencies.

After explaining his worries and concerns, he discussed the topic of potential risks for more than half an hour. He quickly logged into his Facebook account and posted a reply about the recent situation, which read: Maybe I was afraid of poverty before, but now I see A big house makes me excited. I am happy to engage in charity, but it is difficult to focus on charity now. After all, there are still a lot of debt problems waiting to be solved. I am sorry to cause such a wide discussion, but I think a person who works hard to make money and fight for a career, And then I lived the life I dreamed of, which didn’t violate any laws. Most people are doing the same thing as me, right?”

The theme was drawn up by the public relations officer, and the specific expression was thought up by Ye Dongqing himself. After clicking publish, he sat in the office and looked at the recent stock market data and crude oil futures prices. Then he turned off the computer and locked the door to leave. Security measures were activated the moment the door was closed. , even a mouse running in can be detected.

Most of Facebook's users are young people, with less than 1% being over forty years old. This means that they are more open-minded, especially young people in their teens and twenties. Many of them regard Ye Dongqing as their own. I am an idol that I envy, but I am not so humble as to hope that the rich will save me.

After Ye Dongqing posted his statement, it stirred up a lot of waves. There were a lot of comments underneath, and many people followed the trend.

We can’t expect all the words to be good. Ye Dongqing understands the darkness of people’s hearts. We can’t expect everyone to have a beautiful family and a good educational background, or to constantly improve themselves from books and life. If a dog bites someone, he can’t bite him again. go back.

Going upstairs to go home, I poured myself a glass of wine. Suddenly I felt that the apartment in Puchuan Building was too spacious. I thought about it and told the bodyguards to prepare a helicopter to take me to the island.

Needing jet lag and not in the mood to work, he left in a helicopter for the Long Island area more than half an hour later. Looking down at the bright night scene from mid-air, Ye Dongqing knew that the Cobra Tower might not be built in the short term, otherwise investors would probably be disgusted. conflict……
