At the annual meeting before Christmas this year, the list of the first batch of employees who are eligible to buy houses for free and at a low price will be announced.

By the second quarter of next year, the apartments will be ready for use, and employees of several companies will only need to pay a small amount of rent and daily management costs, and they will be able to enjoy relatively good living and living facilities, schools, hospitals, sports facilities, and a golf course may be built next to it in the future, just like a satellite town of Santa Clara.

As the industry expands, so does the number of employees in Silicon Valley.

Fortunately, some people can only separate the two places for the sake of rent and children's education, and then many people can settle here, and the scale and quality of that private school is likely to rank among the top 50 in the United States, and many famous schools work together to build it.

These are all employee benefits, and some bosses have the strength to do so, but they are afraid of trouble and don't want to pay too much for their employees.

And Ye Dongqing hopes that they will find a sense of belonging in their own company, and by the way, they should be a thousand dollars, because of the high salary and high benefits, coupled with the relatively reasonable promotion system in terms of positions, although the wolf management system of the last elimination system is adopted, it has become a popular enterprise that makes headhunting companies worry.

After spot-checking several buildings, it felt quite good, Ye Dongqing instructed: "Take some time, post announcements in those companies, open some houses for them to come and have a look first, especially the middle and low-level managers, and tell them that as long as they work hard, they may have these in the future."

The executives, the financial officers, and the operating officers have got bigger houses, right, where are those villas?"

There were quite a few people standing around.

One of the project managers in charge of the construction told him: "The location is better than here, on a small hill with a view of the bay of San Francisco, about twice the size of these, and the front and back gardens are larger, let's go and have a look?"

Well, no matter how beautiful the house is, can it compare to Ye Dongqing's own ones?

Just take a look, the smell left over from the decoration made him feel uncomfortable, and he said casually: "Forget it, I want to go to see schools and shopping malls, when will the investment promotion work begin?

"That's pretty much it, Nvidia in Santa Clara, it's said that Apple may also move some of its business here, plus Intel, it's quite suitable for building high-end apartments, and the price is lower than Palo Alto, Menlo Park and other areas. To the south, there will soon be a community of about 300 houses, and the developer has come to talk to us about the school, and they want to open the barriers to school so that the children in their community can also get into school. ”

It was a middle-aged Jew who had been sent by the Freshwater Investment Group to supervise the project.

Ye Dongqing thought for a while and replied: "Yes, but the tuition fee may be slightly higher, the children of the company's employees should be there, and external students should also be there. ”

No one cares when someone speaks, but he's different, the person in charge even took out a small notebook and wrote it down, whether he really can't remember it or not, anyway, the surface work must have been done enough.

One of the reasons why Ye Dongqing doesn't like to socialize recently is that he can receive too much praise and compliments wherever he goes, as if because he is rich, he is not an ordinary person of flesh and blood, he doesn't like that very much, or he listens to and sees too much, and he already feels bored, but it was quite good at first.

After taking some time, I went to the mall and school that were almost finished.

According to the person in charge, the investment promotion work has been almost connected, there are cafes such as Starbucks, there are also retailers specializing in furniture, Wal-Mart feels that the market here is too small and is not happy to open stores, replaced by Carrefour, the scale is enough to meet people's daily needs, and it is not far from larger supermarkets.

Looking at it this way, it is estimated that it will be more comfortable to live here in the future, and basically there is no major fault, which is enough.

The Internet industry boom is rising again.

In 2000 and 2001, funds continued to be withdrawn, and now they are flocking in again, and while the valuation and market value of many companies are rising, Ye Dongqing's value is also constantly rising.

As the world's largest unlisted Internet company by market capitalization, Facebook has always been the focus of investors' attention, with more than 600 million registered users worldwide and more than 390 million frequently used accounts.

In comparison, the number of users of another company is not low, but until now it has not found a good profit growth point.

Whatsapp, since ICQ gradually fell behind, another social giant that has just risen, like Facebook, all the shares are in the hands of Ye Dongqing, with more than 200 million users worldwide, the latest valuation is as high as 7.5 billion US dollars, a total of 23 brokerages have made this offer, but unfortunately Ye Dongqing has no willingness to raise or go public, and the valuation is just a valuation.

How to say it.

The company rose too smoothly, with the user resources accumulated by Facebook, the number of users exceeded 40 million in just three months, and then it went all the way up, and after the launch of the video communication business, the voice messaging technology was also launched, and there is no strong competitor at present.

It is precisely the development that is so smooth that Ye Dongqing rarely pays attention to it, and there are more than 400 employees who support such a huge market, and they hardly have to worry about managing it.

This trip to Silicon Valley, Ye Dongqing is also to announce a big news - he is ready to let Whatsapp go public first, and the initial IPO time is set by him in January next year, mainly because he has been holding back his strength not to go public, which has led to some negative voices in Washington under the promotion of some people, and it is also because the company's profit scale is limited, and it is estimated that there will be no big improvement in a short period of time if it continues to be held in his hands, but it is constantly consuming funds for market expansion.

Half a year has passed since Tencent's listing, it will be the second company incubated by Ye Dongqing to go public, and most of Facebook will be listed next year, not that it can't afford to raise it, and the money Facebook itself makes is enough to maintain its operations.

It's just that after reaching this scale, the growth space has gradually become smaller, so it is better to cash out some money and use it to continue to invest in other places, in addition, it can also reduce the debt pressure of Tamsui Investment Group, and use the money to do some things that Ye Dongqing wants to do more.

hasn't released the news yet, others are not clear for the time being, Ye Dongqing has thought about this matter more than once, and the conclusion is that it can be listed now, don't forget that there is a lock-up period ranging from half a year to a few years, and the stocks in his hands will definitely be more valuable at that time......
