Chapter 416: Transition

Last year's annual meeting in Silicon Valley.

Only the high-ranking executives in the company have been given the house, and the vast majority of ordinary employees have not been able to live in it.

Whatsapp equity rewards only involve more than 400 people, and a more detailed distribution level can be formulated and distributed directly.

It's more grand, but in Ye Dongqing's imagination, it can only be regarded as average, and it may be a real feast when Facebook is listed, so I didn't pay much attention to it, with so many shareholders of the company, the last hurdle that hinders the Whatsapp chat program from landing on the NASDAQ market has also been solved, according to the regulations of the NASDAQ stock exchange, the number of original shareholders before listing must be at least 300 people.

gave a lot of benefits to the employees in Silicon Valley, and at Ye Dongqing's suggestion, even the Internet companies he invested in had a hard time before last year's holiday, as for Manhattan, to be honest, Ye Dongqing didn't think that these employees were more important than the employees in Silicon Valley, because they could be replaced at any time, and there were always suitable talents waiting.

Just like Apple, a product director with a lot of experience is more useful in his mind than a CFO or a human resources director, so in the end he just gives more cash rewards, and doesn't mention equity awards at all, and maybe some rewards will be given to company executives in the future, but not now.

Ye Dongqing admitted that he had not treated them badly, but for the sake of his own interests, he could wait a little longer in the short term.

Investing in social welfare causes burns money more than you think.

It may not be easy to make money, but it is simple to spend money, and the public welfare has just begun, and it is expected that the investment could be as high as more than a billion dollars in three years, and in recent days, he has passed a decision to build an office in the Santa Clara area of Silicon Valley, close to the employee community.

I thought about Apple's sloppy UFO headquarters in my previous life, and I also thought about tinkering with some strange buildings, but considering the cost factor, I finally decided to be a little more conservative.

The Cobra Mansion under construction is already burning money, and he is now relatively short of funds, because he is reluctant to sell and cash out, and his hand is relatively tight, which does not mean that Ye Dongqing is short of money, he just wants to make more money through investment, and he does not plan to cash out in the short term.

Even if there is a liquidity crisis, it will not be too difficult to sell securities assets, and some brokerages have been staring at Facebook and Tamsui Investment Group for more than two years, but they have no chance to start.

This time Whatsapp is listed.

As early as the roadshow caused a sensation, so that the agency listed the institution raised the issue price up a bit, and the final price was listed according to the market value of 10 billion US dollars.

Cultivating a listed company with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars, there must be a sense of achievement, but it is not very strong for Ye Dongqing, there is no harm if there is no comparison, Facebook's valuation is there, whether it is revenue or influence, upside, etc., Facebook is stronger than Whatsapp.

The richer he is, the more Buddhist Ye Dongqing becomes.

The overall performance is that there is no goal in life, listlessness all day long, not very interested in anything, etc., if you enter this state after getting old, life should be very comfortable, but you must know that Ye Dongqing is only twenty-two years old.

It's not that I haven't thought about finding some fun for myself, such as entering the field of charity and public welfare, after a period of time, I found that it was not as interesting as I imagined, such as following Carlkave, Little Edward, Richard and others to drink and pick up girls, it was too easy to get it, and it would be boring after a long time, and he had been busy with business for more than three years, and he would feel inexplicably anxious when he looked at various financial reports recently, and what he wanted to do most was just to find a scenic place to lie down, and then let time pass.

He knew that there was something wrong with his state, probably a huge sense of dazed feeling after stepping into the pinnacle that one can achieve in this world, like standing on the top of Mount Everest and looking at it, finding that he could no longer find a peak to climb.

called Gates, who has long been the richest man in the world, and told him that he must slowly learn to adapt to this state, and that life will be so boring for the rest of his life, and that he should find something he wants to do, etc.

Ye Dongqing asked him what he wanted to do, and Gates replied strangely...... Play online games, or learn yoga or fishing.

is a bit different from the imaginary life, in fact, Ye Dongqing can also be so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, and he can participate in all kinds of activities that send him invitations, but it is boring to participate in too many social activities.

I was going to go to the company to help more, but I found that I was almost the same as not being there, and those professional managers could handle it well.

What can he do, despair is certain, it is estimated that it will take some time to adapt to this salted fish-like lifestyle, and he has already found time to make some plans, and he does not plan to continue to stay at home and waste time.

Reliving a life has made great changes in Ye Dongqing's life, but it has also made him lose a lot of expectations for the future.

Ordinary people always hope that their future life will get better and better, but for him, it is now very, very good, and it may not even get better, originally thought that people's hearts could not be filled by money, but the facts proved that they could be filled, this number is almost 30 billion US dollars, and the old Buffett also told him that he no longer has expectations for the future, and suggested that he take a look more, and then decide what he wants to do next.

Seemingly useful suggestions, did not help Ye Dongqing much, last week really learned to play online games, no talent for this area, and then Ye Dongqing bought 15% of Blizzard Entertainment's shares, suggesting that they develop more large-scale games for themselves to play.

How to say it, this is a problem that only rich people have, ordinary people want to try but have no chance, there is actually no problem in life, the problem is the mentality.

On the morning of March 5th.

Ye Dongqing attended the Whatsapp launch ceremony, and he gave the opportunity to speak to others, and also rang the bell with several product managers.

The company is very good, the prospect is also good, not surprisingly, after the opening of the market rose slightly, the amplitude is not too large, which shows that the price is set just right, neither the opening of the dive and the fall, nor the rise too much to make Ye Dongqing suffer.

The process has already made him look forward to it, and the result is not too important, the mood is okay, but it is not too excited.

At the gate of the NASDAQ stock exchange, a homeless man suddenly came over to thank Ye Dongqing and told: "I took a tent you sent, but then I was short of money to buy food and sold it, you are more handsome than in the newspaper......
