Chapter 231: Cobra Mansion
The unspoken rules of Internet financing in the United States did not develop overnight, and there were many problems in the early days, such as the well-known Steve Jobs, who was kicked out by the board of directors because of issues such as financing and listing, and was kicked out by the board of directors.
After suffering countless losses, when the entire industrial system is perfected, people know that if financing an excellent enterprise, AB equity is a more common practice, which can allow the founders to continue to have the right to speak in the company.
In today's China, just like the United States in the 80s, the financing problem plagues almost every Internet entrepreneur, who is more willing to think about how to survive than how many shares they hold.
Bonnie S. Ma has also experienced this kind of thing several times, of course, Xiangjiang's little superman and the American IDG group, together only more than four million US dollars, took away 40% of Tencent's shares, if there was no money, there would be no current Tencent, so in terms of equity, no regret is something that needs to be considered after success, the initial stage of entrepreneurship only needs to consider whether it can be successful, venture capitalists bear the risk of possible investment failure, and it is natural for them to enjoy the return later, it can only be said that they have a better vision.
The Alibaba Group, which Ye Dongqing is concerned about, was also given a large stake by Masayoshi Son of SoftBank because of financing, a similar phenomenon that is quite common in the angel investment industry, which is one of the reasons why he was able to get a large stake from Tencent.
Now that China's Internet industry has just begun, even the founders don't have much confidence, after all, unlike Silicon Valley, where there are really successful oligarchs such as Oracle, Microsoft, IB, etc., they know that most of them are feasible, but it is difficult to say where they can go, so as long as someone is willing to raise funds, they are willing to accept concessions.
There is no way, who made the first group of people to get rich not pay attention to the Internet industry, which gave Ye Dongqing an opportunity.
Mobile phones can be done, not to say that it is not successful, at least the possibility of failure is relatively small, in this country with huge consumption potential, pigs can take off when the wind comes, and it should not be difficult to make a quick amount of money in a short time, as for whether the market can be maintained in the later stage, it depends on how determined Ye Dongqing is to get it up.
In addition to this proposal, after Mr. Zhang took the lead in speaking, some people talked about online news, some people wanted to open a website to sell cars, and some people proposed to build a website to help sell various agricultural products, etc., all kinds of ideas were messy, such as HC, they also wanted to do online mall business.
Ye Dongqing's appetite is very large, since the funds in his hand and the current situation are enough to support his huge appetite, of course he must try to maximize the benefits, there are competitors everywhere on the United States side, but he has enough space to develop it on the Huaxia side, considering that Mr. Bernard Madoff will provide more financial support, he can use this money to complete a larger layout.
The only thing to consider is whether it will be very tiring, he already plans to acquire shares in some companies, and then help subdivide the main areas in the future, pay more attention in the later stage, there should not be any big mess, he is ready to complete a majestic business empire plan on this land according to his own ideas, and the price, ten or two billion dollars is enough, can not affect the business of the United States.
I thought I would be able to go back in four or five days, and even the return ticket has been booked.
However, there were more things than expected, and in the next few days, Ye Dongqing was busy meeting with the bosses of various Internet startups to talk about specific financing plans, and by the way, he also instilled some ideas in their minds to help plan a feasible path to rise.
In 2004, Huaxia's Internet industry was short of money everywhere, and the negotiation process was often very smooth, and the establishment of the Huaxia office has also been put on the agenda, and the headquarters will probably be arranged in Pengcheng, and Shanghai can also be arranged.
Two days ago, I called Miss Mahi to come to Xiangjiang to play, but I didn't expect her to agree, and she had already checked into the Xiangjiang Peninsula Hotel at the moment, just waiting for Ye Dongqing to come to her.
Putting some unimportant things aside for the time being, Ye Dongqing got out of Pengcheng, drank wine for several days in a row, so that his stomach was not very comfortable, and he liked to eat wonton noodles the most, it is said that there are several restaurants in Xiangjiang that taste the most authentic, and he is ready to stop by to taste it.
It is only a little far away from the Xiangjiang River, this time take the ferry directly to the past, after nightfall in the evening, the lights on both sides of Victoria Harbour are lined up, the last time I came over, I have seen it, and it feels quite good.
I contacted him by phone in advance, and Mahi went directly to the dock to pick him up, and the hotel provided a Rolls-Royce as a special car, and drove to the snack street to eat casually.
There was a bowl of fish ball powder on the small table, and Ye Dongqing asked the beautiful girl sitting opposite him while eating, "What have you been doing lately, why haven't you returned to Paris yet, how did you handle the blind date last time?"
"Okay, it's almost settled, my father decided to respect my idea and leave it at bay until I graduate. Mahi's expression was slightly depressed, she had always thought that her father respected her ideas very much, but now it seems that this is not the case, and the postponement of marriage is already the biggest concession he is willing to make.
The two of them had a tacit understanding not to talk about the last time they spent time in New York, which was a month ago, and it was more or less awkward to meet at the moment, because they both knew that something was going to happen next.
An Indian was setting up a stall not far away, and while playing a musical instrument, a cobra crawled out of the bamboo basket and made an attacking gesture, and the people around him were quite far away, for fear that the thing would suddenly come and bite him.
When Ye Dongqing saw it, he suddenly thought of something interesting, and asked Mahi, "Do you have a pencil and drawing paper?" I just had a very good idea, what do you think of designing a building in the image of an eye snake?"
"Cobras, I hate all snakes, and if you do that, you're probably going to lose a lot of female employees, and I'm definitely not going to try to get close to it anyway." ”
Mahi's attitude said a lot, but he didn't care, and said "But that would be cool, wouldn't it? It would be the most talked-about building in New York then, and it would be best to use black and red, which looks like metallic, but it's evil......"
