Chapter 289: Dinner (2/4)
Ye Dongqing doesn't know whether SoftBank signed the preferential financing right with the founder team led by Jack when it raised funds that year, but since they have agreed to accept financing, it must have been agreed by SoftBank.
I don't know why, Son didn't continue to raise funds, or it may be that the founding team didn't want to see a situation where one side was dominant.
Alibaba Group at the beginning of this year, the market value is only about 450 million US dollars, and it spent 500 million yuan to raise it, accounting for only 43% of the shares, which must have a slight loss from the current point of view, Ye Dongqing didn't want to miss the opportunity because of this little money, so he agreed.
For example, Yahoo once reached an agreement with Facebook, but on the day of the signing, the purchase price was pressed from one billion dollars to more than 800 million US dollars, so that Xiao Zha was so angry that he tore up the agreement on the spot, and then ran the company with a valuation of one billion dollars into hundreds of billions of dollars when Ye Dongqing jumped off the building.
This story is enough to make Ye Dongqing grow his brain.
In the case that the opportunity is in front of you, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss now, who will have the last laugh and maybe say: "Go to play a scene, just say that I didn't agree at first, and finally you persuaded them to urge them to sign the contract quickly, and they can't say that they have succeeded before signing the contract." ”
"OK, this is what I am good at, I also acted in drama when I was in the third grade, and I still remember the acting knowledge taught by the teacher. ”
"Play whatever you want, don't mess up, and don't be exaggerated like a drama. ”
Ye Dongqing lit a cigar again, feeling a little excited, a large amount of profit may be in hand, and it is not as tortuous as investing in Apple, it took so long to get more than 40% of the shares, of course he will be very happy.
Following Tencent, another Chinese Internet giant "fell", in addition to the monetary factor, it also means that he can better complete the layout, that Taobao and Tencent will carry out some overlapping business, competition can also be carried out at the same time, such as promoting the establishment of a joint venture between the two sides of the transportation department, can reduce operating costs, anyway, the left hand to the right hand, everyone makes a fortune together......
***********
Carkave's recovery was faster than Ye Dongqing expected.
Being involved in that kind of thing could ruin the connections he had worked so hard to accumulate for several years, so it was just a misunderstanding, driving in New Jersey, speeding in New Jersey, involving a minor accident, which has been resolved.
The last perfect week party had an accident, and it ended halfway through, and he didn't give people a chance to stop, and once again sent out invitations to friends through Facebook, and this social program was absolutely successful, infiltrating people's lives at a terrible rate, many young people are already inseparable from it, and the older ones are getting farther and farther away from this era.
Recently, the judicial department is discussing with Facebook's legal department to further reduce the harm that online social networking may cause, such as curbing the spread of some bad pictures, illegal online transactions, etc., and things like auditing are outsourced to an Indian company, where the cost of employment is lower, as long as someone reports, it will then enter the manual review process, and take measures such as mandatory banning and account blocking depending on the severity of the situation.
In addition, intelligent screening and other functions are also under development, by Silicon Valley and several Indian software companies in cooperation, since really entering the industry, Ye Dongqing only knows how huge India's software outsourcing business is, even Boeing's aircraft autopilot technology, there are many Indian program companies involved.
Compared with hiring employees in Silicon Valley, outsourcing the business is undoubtedly more economical, and the cost may be only a quarter or a third, but the top engineers are mainly concentrated in Silicon Valley, and some industry elites are responsible for architecture, and some of the front-end, back-end, and testing links can be outsourced to Indians.
In just over a year, Ye Dongqing has more than 4,000 employees in Silicon Valley, not counting the employees of Apple, Netflix, Amazon and other companies, fortunately, the ads on Facebook are not worried, and there is only a small loss in the first quarter of this year, mainly dragged down by overseas expansion publicity plans, it has entered more than 30 countries and regions, and has also made some fame in Europe, with more than 16 million users. As for the total number of users, it is increasing at a rate of more than one million per day, and in his eyes it is all money and influence, and the news business is being carried out, ready to compete with Google and Yahoo for the online news market.
There were a lot of troubles, but overall it went well.
I was going to go to the party held by Carcarvey tonight, and if I was lucky, I could hunt something or something, but suddenly I received a call from Angelina Jolie, saying that the movie would be turned on tomorrow and I wanted to invite him to a meal.
This inevitably made Ye Dongqing start to think about it, after all, the word "dinner" in the United States usually does not just mean dinner, it is similar to "come to my house for a cup of coffee" between people of the opposite sex.
Of course, a slap doesn't make a sound.
Before Ms. Vigo left last year, she also invited Ye Dongqing to dinner together, but he didn't think much about it at the time.
On the one hand, he has already attended more than ten parties, and on the other hand, Crawford in "Tomb Raider", how to choose, how to choose, I immediately agreed, and then asked the housekeepers of the manor to help prepare dinner.
Ye Dongqing changed the script himself and added the plot involving the Cobra Building, which was a test of the attitude of New York residents, and generously lent his new home to the crew, provided that it did not cause too much damage.
The new manor, just lived in the past few days, very baby. I have been secretly comparing it with Rockefeller Manor, and I always feel that something is missing, and I am ready to buy the more than 400 acres of land on the shore, and build a botanical garden open to the outside world, a tropical botanical garden, a desert landscape botanical garden, and plant some cherry blossoms and red maples outside, and make it his own back garden, the land of the city hall.
After dealing with the things at hand, Ye Dongqing took a helicopter back to his manor, it took an hour to drive, and it took twenty minutes to arrive by helicopter, the sun had just set on the horizon, dyeing the sky into a very beautiful pale pink, with some blue, quite layered.
Angelina rushed over at noon, and she was busy discussing the plot with the screenwriter, the actor is Jason Statham, he is not famous these years, Ye Dongqing is not stupid enough to call this guy and come to his house for dinner......
