Chapter 642: Yahoo Management

In fact, there are many Indians in Yahoo's management, and of course there are many Chinese. Zhou Shi would not really go out of his way to find an Indian who is not very familiar with him to be the top of Yahoo, this is not just the beginning, no one knows about him, so he lowers his value for no reason, uh, well, this is also wrong. Meritocracy, thirst for talent is the attitude that a leader should have. However, he thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a suitable role, that is, Chen Shouzong, the president of the Association of Hundred.

Zhou Shi and he have a lot of friendships, not because of his status as the president and CEO of Sybase, but because of his status as a member of the board of directors of Disney. However, Chen Shouzong is an independent director of Disney, and Zhou Shi is an executive director.

"How about it, are you interested in challenging it?" Zhou Shi was not polite, and called him directly, Sybase was acquired by SAP for $5.8 billion last year, and he is now an executive of SAP, but as an acquiree, he was not accepted. Historically, he chose to resign next year and joined BlackBerry the next year, which made the company completely lose the word "mobile phone", but also saved the company BlackBerry.

"Yahoo, you said that I should be the CEO, what can I do if I go?" Chen Shouzong said in disbelief.

"That's right, my current ability is limited, I can't do the management of the company well, I want to find someone to assist, the general direction is in my hands, and you are responsible for the details and execution. It's even more important to reconcile the relationship between Yahoo and Yelp. "Zhou Shi, he is the majority shareholder of Yahoo and the chairman, even if he delegates power to others, he is not afraid of being occupied by the dove. Capital is the world's top behind-the-scenes mastermind, although the manager is not a puppet, but there is no need to worry too much, most of the companies that can be MBO are troubled enterprises. Well, Yahoo is also in trouble, but Yahoo is big enough that not everyone can bite it.

When he took over Sybase in '98, the market value of the company was only $380 million, and it was considered by Wall Street to be doomed to bankruptcy, but after he took over, he shifted the focus of this company, which could once compete with Oracle, from the original database to the new market at that time. Mobile enterprise services, which now seem like a normal choice, happened at the height of feature phones, and then Sybase became the world's largest wireless enterprise service provider, and finally its market value rose to $5.8 billion.

Mobile, what a familiar name, Yahoo is also going to move to mobile in full.

There is a ceiling for the development of Chinese companies in the United States, and elites like Chen Shouzong can only become CEOs of small and medium-sized enterprises or potentially bankrupt enterprises, rather than CEOs of large companies like Google like Pichai. There is a question of opportunity, but who says there is no problem of racial discrimination?

"I want to guarantee my rights!" Chen Shouzong replied on the phone

"Of course, you can think about it carefully, I won't be stingy with what I can give you, and don't think too much about what I can't give. In fact, in addition to sticking to Yahoo's current development direction and making Yahoo a technology company, we can discuss other things. "Zhou Shi

As an experienced veteran, Chen Shouzong will not be moved by Zhou Shi's simple words, and he is still very clear about the virtues of the Chinese boss. However, people like Zhou Shi obviously can't be classified as conventional.

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Shi prepared a backup plan, and the number of people available in his hands gradually increased, and he no longer had to be like before. A big company is a big platform, and there are many people who are willing to join Yahoo, such as Marisa Mayer of Google, who Zhou Shi thought was difficult to find. Marisa Mayer is Google's No. 20 employee, the first product manager and the first female engineer at Google. The Google Product Manager Bootcamp she created has too many outstanding people active in Silicon Valley.

Of course, Zhou Shi didn't appreciate her so much, and there was a gossip that impressed Zhou Shi very much, this Marisa Mayer actually brought the child to Yahoo's company after giving birth, doesn't it mean that Americans have a very clear separation between work and life? Is this dedication or disdedication? And she also has this luxurious lifestyle, which is also in stark contrast to Zhou Shi's frugality and restraint, and often uses the company's money to pay for her own activities. However, Zhou Shi still made an appointment with Marisa Mayer, although he thought that Marisa Mayer was not a qualified CEO, at least an excellent product manager.

Marisa Mayer and Zhou Shi have actually met for a long time, but at that time, it was for YouTube, Google, Microsoft, Sequoia, Lehman, etc., and too many things happened. Zhou Shi has long since remembered who he had met at Google. And with the merger of Yelp and Yahoo this time, Zhou Shi's assets have increased greatly.

Slightly less than 10 percent of Amazon's shares, 5 percent of Netflix shares, 4.5 percent of Disney shares, 36.7 percent of Yahoo shares, and 10 percent of Guoke shares, this is Zhou Shi's public assets. He also surpassed Li Bancheng of Xiangjiang with these assets of about 28 billion US dollars, joined the industry of the world's ten richest people, and became the richest man in China. Every billionaire is not simple, not that no one has thought that Zhou Shi has a hidden net worth, but what emerges is amazing enough, and how many people are willing to believe that Zhou Shi has more net worth.

The meeting with Marissa Mayer was not shocking, although it was not a concubine, but she really wanted to change places after being excluded from Google, and Yahoo's COO (chief operating officer) position was a good choice. Zhou Shi also believes that he can suppress this Silicon Valley beauty who likes to let go of herself, and she is also friends with Deng Wendi and others.

Chen Shouzong also made a quick decision, even if he failed at Yahoo, having this qualification could be regarded as opening a ladder to another level for him.

At this point, Yahoo's management is basically complete, the chairman is Zhou Shi, the CEO is Chen Shouzong, the COO is Marisa Mayer, the CTO is Brett Taylor, the CFO is Tim Morse, Ebertson is Morse's deputy, directly responsible for yelp's affairs, and Shen Haoyu is the CBO chief commercial officer, which is equivalent to Chen Shouzong's deputy. It seems that except for the CTO who is relatively weak, the other candidates are very good. However, Zhou Shi's intention to make Brett Taylor CTO is also obvious, and the reason why he hired Marisa is the same, that is, the product is king at this stage.

Yahoo's poor product is not technology, but a successful product that meets the needs of the times, and Zhou Shi does not believe that under his leadership, it will not even be able to make a successful product. In the four directions of mobile search, news APP, instant messaging, and picture socialization, there is always one that can break through.
