In Ye Dongqing's view, it is better to let it fight alone and avoid involving other core businesses, otherwise it is difficult to say whether it will be used by competitors, and even Facebook will be unlucky.

The development plan was suddenly adjusted, which means that part of the preliminary preparation work was wasted, but most of the code that has just been written recently can still be used, and the impact will not be too great, nothing more than a postponement of the release of new products, and a separate text chat tool that is used as a text chat tool to match FB, providing users with more convenient services.

Knowing that the company was fine, Ye Dongqing was relieved, and stayed in Santa Clara Town, not far from the company, that night, and the small hotel was not luxurious, it was more chic.

Not everyone in Silicon Valley can make money, Santa Clara Town was not taken seriously until the 80s, it can only be said that relying on Silicon Valley, most of the local people live a good life, millions of outsiders make a living in Silicon Valley, and very few of them really make a name for themselves, and most of the local people who originally belonged to farmers have become rich because their land was bought at a high price.

For example, the owner of this hotel was very clever in using the money from the sale of land to invest in several hotels, and some entrepreneurs burned millions of dollars in Silicon Valley, and the products they developed were not cared for, and he spent less money, and the profits he earned over the years were more than 20 times, and the value of the property alone increased several times.

After leaving his luggage at the hotel, Ye Dongqing walked around with his bodyguards, a small town with a population of barely more than 100,000, ate something, bought a few ordinary cigars, and then walked back.

Halfway through, he received a call from Quinn, a lobbyist, who told him that the carriers had agreed to the request for cooperation, but still forced him to increase the fee by at least 50 percent.

Don't give Ye Dongqing money, or other benefits, just talk about it, you want to make inches, there is no reason to do this business in the world, he told Quinn that it is okay to raise the price, but it must be two or three years later, the kind that can float with the call fee standard, and in exchange, I hope to get the promise that these three communication operators will not block Skype for any reason in the future, otherwise there is no need to continue to talk.

The other party agreed to relay these requests to their employers, and it is still difficult to say whether they can negotiate a result, mainly because the communication operators are not sincere enough, probably because Skype is not large at present, and it does not make them feel pain......

Early the next morning.

Ye Dongqing came to the company again, first convened a long meeting of all senior employees, announced the news of the upcoming implementation of the employee points grading system, and directly linked the grade to the monthly salary and bonus, and then talked about some small issues in long-term planning, such as rental subsidies, overtime allowances, etc., which were also included, and the discussion ended until noon.

A group of Internet companies began to rise in the late 70s and early 80s, and time has developed to the present, and has accumulated a lot of mature management models, there is no need to worry about this area, the most important thing to worry about is how to raise more money to let Facebook carry out overseas expansion plans.

It costs money to buy his own newspaper pages and hire TV stations to help with promotions, and one employee suggested that he should work with Hollywood studios to let them use these programs during filming, and then quietly implant the product into the minds of potential users as the movie is shown.

The executives hired at a great cost, whose IQs are still online, give a lot of good advice on operation management, some of which will soon be put on the agenda and officially implemented.

As the only shareholder of the company, and is not willing to accept financing, Ye Dongqing can only find a way to raise money, and is considering using shares as collateral, borrowing a sum of money from the bank first, or finding a few companies to sell advertising space, there is 70 million to 100 million US dollars.

I don't know when Google, or Yahoo, Microsoft and other giants will jump in to seize the market, which can be regarded as spending money to buy peace of mind, and the money spent on advertising can always be earned back, and it is more important to grab user resources in comparison.

......

Unexpectedly received a call from Bonnie Ma, who told him that he was in Seattle.

As the host, Ye Dongqing took the initiative to invite him to visit Amazon, and made a special call to Mr. Jeff Bezos, the current CEO of Amazon, and asked him to help receive his partners.

After continuous increase in holdings, Tamsui Investment Group has become one of the top five shareholders, holding a total of 9.3% of Amazon's shares, of course, partly through warrants, which do not belong to Ye Dongqing before the final payment.

He was waiting for an opportunity to hype up the stock price of these companies and get a sum of money from his peers to buy the stocks, and in return, he would inevitably share part of the benefits, which was still very beneficial to him on the whole.

Apple is not favored by investors, so many institutions try to sell their Apple shares, and now the book value of the company's warrants has reached one billion US dollars, accounting for about 19.6 percent of Apple's total shares, the stock has been tepid for a long time, and the dividends are below average.

Mr. Jeff Bezos is willing to help, so Bonnie Ma's itinerary has successfully added more than a half-day trip to Amazon, to be honest, Bonnie still feels inexplicable until now, it's hard to believe that Ye Dongqing, who just met Ye Dongqing, who was developing a program at that time, suddenly became the owner of Facebook, this company has recently become so popular that even Bonnie, who is in China, can hear how powerful his friends say, and suggest that he learn from his experience.

The two met smoothly in Silicon Valley.

This morning, Ye Dongqing went to the airport to pick him up for a visit, the last time they met was half a year ago, Boni Mana was richer than Ye Dongqing at that time, and now Ye Dongqing's book wealth has far surpassed Bonnie, and has become the second largest shareholder of Tencent, holding a total of 27.2% of the shares, only a little worse than the MIH Group.

This investment has paid off for him, because Poni found a more suitable profit model, and began to sell virtual clothing, membership services, etc. after the launch of Q coins, resulting in a sharp rise in profits this year, and the valuation has also risen rapidly.

The company is registered in the Cayman Islands, and after the meeting, Ye Dongqing learned from him that Boni came to inspect the listing environment this time, and he hopes to be listed on the NASDAQ in the near future......
