Zhou Shi, who stepped on the plane, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Guoke finally has a general, and Feng Xing's technical ability is still relatively weak. Maybe Feng Xing is handsome, and Li Yinan is a general. Zhou Shi tossed the husk several times, but Feng Xing did not express any dissatisfaction. Last year, a laboratory was set up in Japan, and the overseas market expansion of feature machines was only orderly, and the development of domestic channels was also in an orderly manner. Although it did not get the naming rights of China's Got Talent this year, there are still many corresponding advertisements, and Mango TV is indispensable this year.

The Guoke brand is left to the smart phone, the nut brand is a low-end mobile phone, and as for the overseas ultra-low-end mobile phone, it has another name, which is called a tomato mobile phone. No matter what the name is, Tong Ren Tang's ancient motto: "Although the concoction is complicated, we must not dare to save labor, and although the taste is expensive, we must not dare to reduce material resources" is the bottom line of Guoke Company, and it is his minimum requirement to be a mobile phone with a conscience.

"Making money is not the first place, on the premise of maintaining a good brand image and cash flow, market share is the most important indicator of Guoke Company. The company's operational efficiency is the second indicator. Zhou Shi repeatedly emphasized in his exchanges with Feng Xing that the time to make money has not yet come, and strategic losses are tolerable.

Zhou Shi left alone, when the time was ripe, Zhou Shi would acquire the Android company, and Li Yinan, under their joint persuasion, agreed to join Guoke and become the company's CTO. Then the information and manpower will be sorted out, rushed to Silicon Valley, if through Google's request, the two sides can work together to launch the first Android mobile phone, I believe it will also be a very big shock to the industry. In the previous life, HTC was holding Google's thick legs, which completed its rise. This time with the husk, it's better for HTC to roll a little farther away. For such a "Taiwan gambling" family, bankruptcy is their destination.

For the time being, there is a better arrangement for domestic affairs, and we have to face foreign challenges. Two different styles of fighting, Zhou Shi is a little tired to deal with, after all, he is not an iron man, let alone a superman, and he can make the right decisions in the face of various companies.

As soon as the subprime mortgage crisis began, he was not short of money, and the formation of a team of consultants could also be put on the agenda, and he wanted to completely acquire Analysys International, which was formed by high-quality talents, and he wanted not private consultants, but high-end talents who could help him make various decisions. With the platform of Analysys International, more geniuses suitable for Zhou Shi can be screened. Moreover, Galaxy Capital's next activities need too much data support at home and abroad. The integration of Analysys International and Orient Wealth should be of good help to Galaxy Capital.

contacted Lu He first and asked him to send someone to Ali to negotiate the matter of taking a stake in Taobao. The subprime mortgage crisis has begun to emerge, and the second fund of the four major funds under Galaxy Capital has been established. The White Tiger Fund officially started operations and is participating in Lehman's acquisition of Friendster. If Taobao's affairs are relatively simple, as long as Zhou Shi and Lu He grasp the rhythm, everything will be fine.

The acquisition of YouTube by the four companies is still grinding each other's skin. YouTube's financial numbers aren't good, of course, and the growth numbers are the focus. YouTube is almost the first choice for the majority of Internet users to watch videos, and no one can restrict it yet. To paraphrase Ma Ali, you can't see your opponent even if you wear a telescope.

Twitter rejected the YouTube takeover, which was both expected and unexpected by Zhou Shi. If you don't have money and don't want to be acquired, you can only raise money! At this time, Twitter is very different from Twitter in the previous life, the number of visits on the PC side still occupies the first place, and the number of visits on the mobile side is only a small part. The messages are mainly sent with pictures and text, and the video content comes from YouTube. And it's mainly about competing with blogs for users, and those who don't like long stories have basically opened Twitter. You must know that not everyone can stick to a blog for a long time, but every time you go online, you can use Twitter to post different content, and the user stickiness is very good.

Perhaps it was Zhou's speech that amplified their ambitions, and when Zhou Shi returned, he heard Jack Dorsey say that they valued Twitter at a billion dollars.

"Are you sure it's a billion dollars?" Zhou Shi was very unhappy.

"That's right, they mean a billion" Dorsey

Well, it's hard for Zhou Shi to say anything about this price, he would love to have this price, but "how active Twitter is now, don't they know yet?"

"Clear is clear, but they don't think it's a big problem," Dorsey

"Okay, I won't interfere with this financing, you can play as you like!" Zhou Shicai didn't want to mess around with them, he didn't think Twitter was worth a billion now. It's not just a question of user activity, it's also a question of profitability. Twitter's revenue data is not much worse, almost negligible, and there are still big problems in maintaining the normal operation of the company. Even after more than ten years, Twitter does not have a good profit model, and the main thing is that Twitter and YouTube do not have a formal cooperation agreement, so Zhou Shi does not believe that others are fools and can be fooled at will.

The value of the same thing is different in the hands of different people, don't these two people understand this truth? At first, Zhou Shi didn't know who Zhuang Chenchao and Dai Furui had listened to, and they actually had the idea of fighting for power. I decisively gave way, and when I returned to China, I learned that Lehman Brothers was negotiating financing with Qunar, and that an agreement might be close to being reached. Hehe!

"You're really not going to care?" said Jack Dorsey

"What are you worried about, our advantage can't be replaced by anyone in the short term, and now is not the time for Twitter to explode, let them play first. Anyway, I think the price is quite right now. ”

"Well, I also think that Twitter is a little abnormal now, and the data is unstable" Dorsey

"We are moving too fast, and the foundation is not solid" The era of mobile Internet has not yet arrived, and the growth rate of Twitter is so fast, which is too abnormal. Moreover, the architecture of the Twitter system does not support such a large number of users at all, and the system upgrade cannot keep up with the growth rate of users, and sooner or later there will be problems. Zhuang and Dai left Twitter for a while, and Zhou Shi still had a lot of transformations to Twitter, such as Zhou Shi's emphasis on technology and the ability to pretend to be forced. Ideals, beliefs and money, these two have washed back and forth all the employees of Twitter, and those who have not been attacked by Zhou Shi should be very few.

Sure enough, Lehman appeared and became the main investor in this financing. When death is on the verge of death, they don't know how to restrain themselves, and they deserve to be unlucky.

Although the price of this financing satisfied Zhou Shi, they actually asked for 20% of the shares, and the valuation was also raised to $1.5 billion, which is really crazy. Secured a majority stake in Lehman and signed a series of contracts with him. For example, Party A's right of first refusal, for example, if Party B's funds are not in place, Party A has some rights, and for example, Party B goes bankrupt within three years, and Party A has the right of compulsory acquisition. All kinds of hidden terms are to let Zhou Shi recover the equity in their hands at the smallest cost after Lehman goes bankrupt.

No matter what kind of capital predators they are, don't even think about fighting the reborn with strength.
