Chapter 190: Yang Zhiyuan (1/3)
U.S. courts like to impose punitive judgments on large enterprises, so the fines are often higher than the actual amount, which can play a relatively big role in rectifying the order of the industry, so that entrepreneurs do not dare to act recklessly, and can also protect the rights and interests of ordinary consumers.
It is not clear what the final outcome of the lawsuit will be, but since the infringement is real, it is impossible to get out of the lawsuit, and what needs to be considered is how to reduce the damage as much as possible.
It's not Ye Dongqing's character to suffer a loss, the other party provoked him for no reason, which made him hold a grudge, and began to think about how to make Google suffer a big loss, the kind that outweighs the loss, Android must be robbed, and Facebook will also turn Google's products over, so he decided to let the instant text messaging function go online immediately, and arrange the development of FB mailbox, and strive to press the Google mail project that has not yet been put into the market in infancy.
Provoking Ye Dongqing is the wrong opponent, and he has even begun to think about whether to give Yahoo some small advice, so that it can compete with Google in the future, at least not let Google dominate.
Others want to compete, and that's fine, but he hates that others see him as a stepping stone.
To this day, Yahoo is still the world's largest search engine service provider, and it was listed on the NASDAQ just over a year after its founding, and its stock price rose 154 percent on the day of its listing, reaching a market value of $800 million. In January 2000, before the dot-com bubble burst, Yahoo's market capitalization reached $128 billion.
Yahoo's future is a tragedy, so Ye Dongqing has not invested in it, to be honest, as long as he changes to a more capable and discerning CEO, it is not difficult to continue to press Google, he feels that it is necessary to contact Yang Zhiyuan, who is also Chinese, and there is no reason to make his competitors comfortable.
......
As soon as the request was communicated, FB immediately arranged for an online update process, and the executive called in several supervisors to start working on an email address.
Ye Dongqing found a computer, went to log on to Google's official website to try to use the new online social platform, from the program called "Chatting", you can clearly see the shadow of Facebook, but the way of operation is a little different, I believe that Google's programmers have tried their best to bypass FB's patent, otherwise there would be no face to sue.
How to say it, the use experience can only be regarded as average, relatively simple, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, for the time being, there is no need to worry about competition, and then called, let them help contact Yahoo, ready to buy an advertising space from Yahoo's homepage to continue to promote, if there is a chance, it is best to meet with Yang Zhiyuan, Ye Dongqing hopes to use this to show his attitude to Google.
Then go and download the new version of FB, in addition to the Skype icon, there is another icon, which means that the user already has a text chat function, which cannot be stored in the cloud, and there is no emoji function, but it supports group chat, which is enough.
The number of friends who follow each other is not much, the background monitoring program shows that the current number of registered users has approached 60 million, and it is still increasing.
He doesn't think that if Google search engine does well, it can also do well on social platforms, if a user's companions are using FB, then he will naturally choose to join, it has become a climate, and the competitiveness is relatively strong.
Miss Mahi sent a few pictures, pictures of eating at a certain restaurant, Ye Dongqing commented, and didn't get a reply for half a day, no on the first day, no on the second day, this is enough to show a certain attitude, he knows that this relationship may be cold.
Laura got an admission letter from University College London, which is a top school in the UK that is not weaker than Cambridge and Oxford, and she was so happy that she invited Ye Dongqing to have a meal as a celebration.
She is still training as a model and is busy with fitness, and it is said that Victoria's Secret will soon arrange some work for Laura, and she will be paid $4 million when she signs a contract, which is the cost of the first year, and it is likely that she will be on the Victoria's Secret runway by the end of this year.
While Ye Dongqing was busy with business matters, he occasionally went to personally supervise the island renovation project, and hired dozens of gardeners to work together, the grass was about to be laid, and the red maple trees were being planted one after another, which was very different from when he first bought it.
The lawyer tried to settle out of court, willing to pay Google $5 million, a suggestion that was rejected and would soon go to trial, in which case Mr. Ye chartered a private jet and came to Silicon Valley to have dinner with Yahoo founder Yang Zhiyuan.
The people under his hands helped him send out an invitation, and Yang Zhiyuan immediately agreed, he is now in his thirties, like many Silicon Valley technology tycoons, he has no shelf, just a few years ago, he was also a hard-working entrepreneur, and arrogant cattle like Larry Ellison are a minority after all.
The dinner venue was arranged in a Chinese restaurant, Ye Dongqing just arranged the dishes, he rushed over alone with a bottle of Moutai liquor, and sat on both sides of the small round table in the private room, Yang Zhiyuan pushed his glasses, and said with a smile: "I went back to my hometown last month, and brought a few boxes of liquor at the airport, you can drink whatever you want, liquor or beer?"
This kind of opening line is not common in the United States.
"I'll drink some white too, but I haven't drunk much before, and at most one drink will be poured. "Most people who can drink pure whiskey can also accept the spicy taste of liquor, and the degree of vodka is generally higher, Ye Dongqing feels that he can accept it.
"That's fine. ”
The waiter happened to come over, Yang Zhiyuan asked for a plate of peanuts, and then said: "I heard your name a few months ago, Facebook is doing very well, I also have an account, at that time IDG company found me, to sell me Tencent shares for six million US dollars, and the people under him felt that they could also get it, there was no need to spend money to buy it, and now I regret it." ”
"Now I want to invest or can invest, MIH Group bought a large amount of shares, Tencent has not yet been listed, and its market value is undervalued. ”
"When the time comes, let people ask, there are many problems to consider now, the vision is not as good as you young people, and almost all the acquisitions and investments in the past two years have failed, but I am very optimistic about Facebook, and when the secretary told me that you were going to have dinner, I thought you agreed to let this company accept financing, do you want to talk to me about this?"
Yang Zhiyuan asked, most of them are because they are Chinese, there is an inexplicable sense of closeness, just a few minutes after meeting, they are already quite casual when they talk, the two are about the same value, and there is no need to worry about the status gap......
