There's a lot of oil and water squeezed out of Skype.

When I bought it back, it only cost more than 20 million US dollars, and then I invested some money one after another, about 50 million US dollars, and the total investment was only about 100 million US dollars, including other messy expenses.

The current valuation is about $2 billion, and it is a bit difficult to make money by charging fees, because free video calls, voice chat technology, etc. will soon appear, which will inevitably crowd out a large number of markets, and even the profit income is very limited.

Ye Dongqing remembered that in his last life, after it was bought by Microsoft, the market value was still only seven or eight billion US dollars, which was after 2017, and he couldn't remember the specific date, and he forgot which report he had seen it from.

With Facebook in control, Skype's little bit of traffic is not enough.

Now, with the emergence of new potential enemies, it seems irrational to continue to stalemate with those influential communication giants, it is better to return some blood to make the book data more beautiful, in addition to expanding the flow of funds, so as to better resist risks.

After such a long time, it is enough for Mr. McCord to put himself in the right position, when he first took the position, he thought that he could display his talents, but later he found out that he was actually more like a big housekeeper, and he only needed to implement it according to Ye Dongqing's ideas, and Ye Dongqing could directly handle the development direction and expansion strategy.

Seeing that the boss looked at him, Mr. McCord nodded decisively and said: "I will soon release the news of the sale of shares, Google seems to be very interested, but their offer is only $1.6 billion, originally planned to press it again, if you insist then I will agree to sell some to Google." ”

"What to do or how to do it, I just want you to go and talk to the executives of those communication giants, it is best to achieve a win-win situation and bring them into the stock together.

It's hard to say whether Google is sincere or not, it's about to go public, right, maybe it's releasing fake news, trying to induce investors to continue to look at its stock price, there are a lot of capable guys on Google's board of directors, such as Campbell, although I kicked him out of Apple's shareholders' meeting, but I have to admit that guy has a pretty good eye. ”

In his own company, Ye Dongqing is always very strong, he is too young, if he is not respected, he will not be able to suppress the employees under him.

Lake, the chief operating officer of Freshwater Investment Group, who was the head of a hedge fund owned by Goldman Sachs before being poached with a high salary, reminded Ye Dongqing at this moment:

"Leo, your foundation is too weak, it's easy to be targeted, I admit that our company is very powerful, but it still has shortcomings, the money is all made by our company, other companies on Wall Street will definitely be unhappy about this, maybe you should release some news, tell them when they will go public, when they will receive financing. In order to have a good relationship with you and get financing opportunities from you, I believe that those people will not be willing to be hated by you, no one will be at odds with interests here, and enemies can become friends. ”

This is when Ye Dongqing lacks social experience and tries to tell him some tips for handling relationships when doing business.

Stimulated by the breaking news, more than ten hours have passed now, and he has almost calmed down, and waved his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry for the time being, our capital situation is no problem at present, we have made a lot of money from the oil futures market, and we can also make a lot of money by selling Skype shares next, but I will think of other ways to make money, maybe I can also go to the mortgage first, and the real debt ratio is not very high."

It's not too early, let's go back first, I just want you to pay attention to it next, there have been a lot of troubles, the company can't make trouble again, I have a hunch that they won't let go easily, take a step at a time, be prepared, as long as investors are not instigated, there will be no problems on our side. ”

This is indeed the case, if his strength was still average in the middle of last year, until now Tamsui Investment Group has grown, it is not a little wind and rain that can be destroyed, it is really not good, even if he gives up something, Ye Dongqing is also confident that he will take down all his opponents.

If there is another five or eight years of business development, he is confident that others will not be able to afford to go against him, and he will still lack some time to develop.

……

After the brief meeting, another group of people walked into his office.

They are all from Ye Dongqing's private secretary group, more than half of them are from Yale, Harvard and other famous universities, the minimum is a master's degree, and there are several doctors.

After expounding his worries and concerns, he discussed the topic of potential risks for more than half an hour, and soon logged on to his Facebook account and posted a reply about the recent situation, which read: "I was probably poor and scared before, but now I am excited when I see a big house, I am happy to engage in charity, but now it is difficult to pay attention to charity wholeheartedly, after all, there are still a lot of debt problems waiting to be solved, I am sorry to cause such a wide discussion, but I think a person works hard to make money, Fighting for a career and living the life of your dreams isn't breaking any laws, and most people are doing the same thing as me, aren't they?"

The theme is formulated by public relations, and the specific expression is that Ye Dongqing came up with it himself, and sat in the office after clicking on the release, looking at the recent stock market data and crude oil futures prices, and then turned off the computer and locked the door to leave, and the security measures were activated at the moment of closing the door, even if a mouse ran in, it could be detected.

Most of Facebook's users are young people, less than one percent outside the age of forty, which means that they are more open-minded, especially young people in their teens and twenties, many of whom regard Ye Dongqing as their idol and envy them, but they are not humble enough to hope that the rich will help them.

After Ye Dongqing posted an article, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a lot of messages quickly appeared at the bottom, and there were many guys who followed the heat.

You can't expect all good words, you have an understanding of the dark leaves of the human heart, and you can't expect everyone to have a good family and a good educational background, or to constantly improve yourself from books and life, and the dog bites the man and can't bite it back.

I went upstairs and went home, poured myself a glass of wine, and suddenly felt that the apartment on this side of the Puchuan Building was empty, so I thought about it and told the bodyguards to prepare a helicopter to send me to the island.

Need to reverse jet lag, not in the mood to work, more than half an hour later he left in a helicopter to the Long Island area, looking down on the bright night view from mid-air, Ye Dongqing knew that the Cobra Building might not be built in the short term, otherwise most investors would be disgusted and resistant......
