From time to time, these official bodies hold meetings as if to make a sense of presence.

Ye Dongqing and his company are so famous that they can receive various invitations every day, and if he attends any meeting in person, then he will not have his own time all year round.

I don't like to deal with those people, it's hard to chat, relying on my youth, I can be more willful, all the meetings that can be pushed off are pushed, and if I can't push, let the company executives participate on my behalf, those super rich people also can't avoid contact with these people's sophistication, with the expansion of fame, one day in the future Ye Dongqing must learn to be more tactful, but he hopes to delay this time for a few years, and wait until he has had enough.

Knowing that Mr. McCord was not there, Ye Dongqing asked Miss Elizabeth Madoff to go back first, while he himself continued to deal with the matter at hand.

Some time ago, I went to Huaxia, and some representatives of local Internet companies had dinner and met, and by the way, we talked about whether there was an opportunity to do business in partnership and other matters, and now, some good progress has been made, Ye Dongqing has set up a working group in China, all members are business talents who have just immigrated to the United States in the past ten years and have been hired by him in the United States, which means that they are more familiar with the environment in China and are easy to carry out their work.

In fact, they directly report to Ye Dongqing on the progress of their work, independent of Tamsui Investment Group, and their main job at the moment is to look for business opportunities on behalf of Ye Dongqing, and contact those who have been successful or have entrepreneurial ideas, so as to achieve the goal of getting involved in the Chinese Internet industry and laying out early in this era.

For example, Mr. Zhang of Sohu Company, he plans to issue some new shares in the Nasdaq market through an additional issuance plan, and obtain a total amount of financing of about 70 million US dollars from Ye Dongqing, which has not yet passed the review of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but if it succeeds, then Tamsui Group will directly hold about 26% of Sohu's shares. In addition, the plan of Boss Zhang and him to jointly create a new mobile phone brand is now under negotiation, if nothing else, it is likely to become a reality, at least Ye Dongqing has no problem here, he has his own idea, if Boss Zhang can come up with some funds as promised, the cooperation project may be finalized next month.

Mobile phone industry, from the upstream production and research and development and supporting parts manufacturers, to the downstream link of production and sales, in 2004 at this time the industrial scale of the entire market is not small, if you wait until a few years later, wait until the birth of smart phones, and then promote the rise of the software consumer market, this cake will inevitably become bigger, this is Ye Dongqing coveted for a long time big nuggets, since there is no shortage of funds on hand now, can also find talents to help themselves manage the company, there is no reason to miss it, his appetite is quite large.

In addition, this group of people also represented Ye Dongqing and Tamsui Investment Group, and privately went to talk to the Jack of Alibaba Group. Ma met, Ye Dongqing meant that he was willing to spend a lot of money to finance Alibaba Group, a full 200 million US dollars, as long as 30% of the shares, which is equivalent to raising Alibaba's valuation on the existing basis, about 20 percent, since Taobao was established and achieved initial success, this company has indeed become more valuable, and it has a lot of attraction to venture capital institutions.

According to the news obtained by Ye Dongqing, eBay also threw an olive branch to Jack Ma last month, willing to buy Alibaba Group as a whole at a valuation of about $480 million, in the form of cash and shares, but the deal did not seem to be going well, so he asked his subordinates to throw out a more attractive financing plan.

As promised to Boni when he invested in Tencent Group, he is also willing to hand over the management to Jack Ma, and it is uncertain whether it can be negotiated for the time being, but the good news is that the other party has not explicitly refused, which means that there is still something to negotiate.

As mentioned earlier, some companies have recovered from the impact of the Internet bubble bursting crisis, and take the lead in expanding globally, the big fish are frantically chasing the small fish, trying to strengthen their own strength through mergers and acquisitions, Ye Dongqing also took the initiative to enter this struggle, he is a shareholder of Amazon, so he is not afraid of being hated by eBay people, how to do it for his own benefit.

His appetite was too small, but now he is ready to invest a billion dollars in venture capital in China's Internet industry, and if he can get the opportunity to finance Huawei, this number may double or tripled.

It can be said that 2004 is a more critical year, Tamsui Investment Group has money, looking at the world, there is no shortage of investment opportunities, Ye Dongqing always has an inexplicable feeling, that his future strength, mainly depends on how many potential companies can be invested in this year, and when others also react, when the capital is concentrated in the Internet industry again, he will think that it will be much more difficult to invest, and the cost will be greater.

These investment matters need Ye Dongqing to make his own ideas, the group of people under his hands are only responsible for trying to negotiate an agreement that is more favorable to him, the decision is all in his hands, read it page by page, and make a reply at the end, I think it is good to pass it directly, and then continue to go down the process, some projects have unclear prospects, then put them on hold for the time being, such as HC Network, they opened their mouths, wanting Ye Dongqing to raise 100 million US dollars, and after reading the plan, they passed it without thinking about it, and helped the local officials sell agricultural products, how much money can this be？

After reading too many documents, I became dizzy after a while, got up and helped myself make a cup of black tea, sat down again, called Bernard Madoff Sr., and asked him about the funds of Rolex, no matter how much interest Bernard Sr. promised to give Rolex, anyway, Freshwater Investment Group would give Bernard Sr. an annualized interest rate of 9%.

How much to take is his own business, and Ye Dongqing has little to do with it, he just wants to know when the funds will be in place, which is related to the investment plan in the next short term, there are indeed a lot of places to spend money recently, just buying the shares of the warrant target, it will cost more than three billion US dollars in cash of Tamsui Investment Group.

There was always something waiting for Ye Dongqing to deal with, and it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening when he was almost busy, until Mahi came to him and invited him to have dinner together, so he packed up his things and left the office......
