Chapter 89: The Penguin Who Wants to Buy the Fox

There are very few people who are willing to give up high-quality potential stocks, and the ones that Ye Dongqing has come into contact with recently are all slightly larger fish in a fishing net.

Google, for example, Yahoo executives have even started to buy it for $5 billion this year, and its valuation is higher than that of Amazon, which has already been listed, and is still growing at an almost crazy rate with increasing performance and users.

In this case, unless there is really no money, otherwise who is willing to sell its shares early, according to this trend of development, they don't know how much money they can make in the future, but the probability of making a profit is relatively large, many top investment banks and fund companies on Wall Street are eyeing it, there are more wolves and less meat, and Ye Dongqing has no way to compete with them.

The reason why I couldn't go to Seattle was because the MIH Group, together with Bonnie Ma, unexpectedly came to the door and wanted to talk to him about financing.

With a valuation of $220 million, hoping to raise a full $50 million from him, he was not very happy to accept it, and on this figure, Bonney personally called to discuss the matter, and he was ready to launch an acquisition, and use the funds to merge a small company called "Sohu" and start to enter the portal field.

According to Poni, the company, which is currently listed on the Nasdaq and has a market capitalization of more than $110 million, recently intends to sell a large stake and even complete a delisting, and Poni hopes to complete the acquisition in a share-and-cash manner.

Flapped by Ye Dongqing's "butterfly wings", history began to show some changes, considering that the number of QQ users exceeded the 100 million mark, the portal can certainly do, but it still needs to be considered, after all, it involves 50 million US dollars, which is definitely not a small amount.

After ending the call, he immediately turned on his computer and searched for content about Sohu, a company listed on the NASDAQ, and the English version of the financial report must be available.

After watching for a long time, I finally had a clear understanding of Sohu, for example, on the first day of listing in July 2000, the stock price had reached a high of more than $13, and soon plummeted, and is currently only hovering around $2.6, almost given up by investors.

Just after the listing suffered the baptism of the collapse of the Internet bubble, now listed on the NASDAQ Sina, Sohu, NetEase, the three big brothers have become difficult brothers, capital flow is in trouble, Sina recently began to climb slightly, the other two are still the same.

Tencent's current valuation is not as high as 220 million US dollars, but as long as you can get a large amount of shares, this figure is not unacceptable, what really makes Ye Dongqing anxious is that he does not know whether Tencent will become the Tencent he knows after acquiring this company, the early stage of development is a critical stage, and a little change may affect the future trend.

In the final analysis, I still don't know about those Internet companies on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but Google, Facebook, and Netflix are replaced by them, and Ye Dongqing knows very well their development history and where their profit points are.

Although Pony didn't say it, he could guess that he wanted a reverse takeover (backdoor listing), this alternative listing method existed decades ago, and it is estimated that he will encounter some trouble on the side of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In addition, Ye Dongqing can only have passive equity after financing, which is also a problem that has to be considered.

The so-called passive equity refers to the fact that no matter how many shares are occupied, even if it is 99%, it cannot forcibly interfere in the company's decision-making and operation, and it is up to other shareholders to decide how to develop, and enjoy the gains and losses brought by only equity.

As for the 50 million US dollars, Ye Dongqing has some money on hand, and the rest of the money can definitely be collected in ten days and half a month with the ability of Tamsui Fund Company to absorb money, and the only question that needs to be considered is whether to agree to the other party.

Judging from the performance of MIH Group, this company is estimated to be suspicious, and is only willing to come up with 20 million US dollars.

Businessmen, everything is based on profits, there are too many startups with good prospects but died halfway, no one wants to put all their eggs in the same basket, even if Ye Dongqing knows that Amazon will be popular, doesn't he also invest in Netflix and Apple stocks to hedge risks......

No matter how good Tencent is, it is someone else's company, and Facebook is the "own son" created by Ye Dongqing.

After nearly two months of development work, more than 20 programmers of FB company finally approved this beta version and prepared to open a new round of testing to the public.

Originally, it would be enough for a month, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, during which the employees often came up with some new ideas, Ye Dongqing also discussed with Mr. Alfred House every once in a while, adding some new things to it, making the product more complete, at the cost of more than a little more than $10,000 in cash, and soon spent more than $2 million.

Zhao Liuli will remove the stitches tomorrow, it is related to whether the girl can see things again, Ye Dongqing is a little nervous, the two have been "reunited" for more than a month, and the relationship between them is only slightly better, except for the days when they ran to Xiangjiang, they don't spend much time together.

went to the orphanage for a few days, which had some impact on Zhao Liuli, and it was difficult to accept him easily, coupled with his young age, it was not surprising that there was an estrangement.

After going to the hospital to deliver food, Ye Dongqing drove to the new building next to the park, and unexpectedly saw Paul Kutcher also there, and was surprised: "You actually come to work in the company?"

"The students at Harvard and Stanford have just attacked the website and tried to change the beauty pageant rankings, and it seems that those little guys have a lot of opinions, so I'm going to fix the firewall and leave right away. "Paul has no good feelings for Ye Dongqing, who has threatened him, and is willing to help for the sake of money.

Last week, he put the stolen student information of more than 40 universities, along with their names and photos, on a website, and began to let the students of those schools vote spontaneously, and the beauty pageant was named "Who is the queen of the school?", only the photos of women were played, men were excluded, and the information that was lower in the rankings was deleted every day, and recently, the competition has become more and more fierce.

According to Ye Dongqing's idea, now there is a scuffle on campus, and then let the three most beautiful girls in each school compete for the "Queen of American Universities" together.

Students loved it, and after Paul posted the URL on their school website, it went viral after a few days of fermentation, and now it has more than a million hits a day, and both students and others outside the school can vote......
