Chapter 814: NBA Finals Day
Yahoo reporters' interviews with Zhou Shi were quickly reviewed and then appeared in the feeds of news apps such as the Yahoo portal and Toutiao. Zhou Shi once again dominated the financial headlines at home and abroad.
For what Zhou Shi said, there are not many people who doubt it, he is too different from the current Internet entrepreneurs, he has established many enterprises, and let them be transferred or acquired one by one, in short, he is like an idle person, tossing around. For example, culture, entertainment, film and television, sports, finance, and the Internet, there is nothing he does not interfere with.
This year's 5~6 months are not peaceful, from the Premier League to the NBA finals, Zhou Shi's exposure rate is much larger, whether it is an interview with his own media reporters or an interview with traditional media, he has greatly improved his appearance rate. He has also explained his business philosophy and logic to the media and the public many times.
Although there are three major sectors of artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing, in fact, it is based on artificial intelligence, and on the basis of big data, it has built two middle platform systems (the big one is Yahoo and the small one is YELP), and all its own businesses have been migrated to the Yahoo public cloud. The seemingly complex business chain has also become orderly because of the existence of the middle office system.
Yahoo's share price has entered a steady rising channel, in the world is now in quantitative easing, Yahoo financing difficulties are almost none, Europe and Japan benchmark interest rates are lower, Japan may even introduce negative interest rates, that is to say, in Japan to save money need to pay bank interest, but unfortunately YELP entered Japan, but Yahoo Pay did not enter this market because of Yahoo Japan's relationship, and YELP's development in Japan is so-so.
Even though it was determined that Alibaba would go public in the second half of the year and be able to cash out, Yahoo still raised more than $1 billion, and this time it did not have the slightest negative impact on Yahoo's stock price.
"Why did you raise money again, it's so jealous!" Musk, Tesla's development is very good, both the brand and the public image are very positive. Moreover, the super charging pile and the quick battery replacement all prove that Tesla has a lot of explorations in new energy vehicles, of course, the lack of money is certain. So this guy also encouraged his cousin to set up a solar photovoltaic power generation company, SolarCity, hoping to change people's lives with Tesla cars plus Tesla's solar roofs plus Tesla charging equipment. Zhou Shi did not choose the same path as Musk, he promoted the development of graphene batteries, solid-state batteries and other projects behind the scenes.
"No way, development needs!" Zhou Shi, Yahoo's big data department has a large number of APPs developing rapidly, and even if Yahoo Cloud Big Data Center adopts open computing projects to save costs, it still needs a lot of money. After all, Yahoo Messenger, which supports 300 million users at the same time, does not have a strong back-end support, how can it ensure stable and smooth use for users.
"Tesla won't be worse than Yahoo!" Musk
Tesla's share price has risen sharply or twice in the past two months, with a market value of more than $15 billion, although Zhou Shi has not personally invested, but his family fund, Galaxy Capital and other companies are not idle, and a total of more than 5% of Tesla's equity.
"Saab Motors has already started to catch up with you!" Zhou Shi, it is beneficial for Saab Motors to stay in Sweden, although Sweden's corporate income tax is 28 percent, but after tax reduction, the effective tax rate for local companies is 10 percent, and for multinational companies is 18 percent. Saab is embarrassed, he is a Swedish company. Both Galaxy Capital and Sixiang Fund have invested heavily in Saab automobiles, especially Saab new energy vehicles. Although new energy vehicle products have not yet been mass-produced, the main performance indicators are not weaker than Tesla. However, the price of Tesla cars is about 100,000 US dollars, while the price of Saab cars' mainstream products is expected to be 6~80,000 US dollars.
"As far as Sabo's broken car, cut~" Musk said insincerely
Saab is not bad, a bunch of high-tech products, such as the standard ADAS (advanced driver assistance system), in the future, it may also be combined with Waze map navigation, galaxy voice assistant, as for the tablet that can be replaced, it is even simpler. Saab's brand and safety features have always been praised, and Saab's transformation over the years is not excellent, but at least qualified. The Saab brand has not only not been weakened, but also strengthened by the promotion of Chery Automobile in the Chinese market.
The two chatted about new energy vehicles, and the two have many similarities and have ambitions for the space universe. SpaceX is the world's most powerful private rocket launch company, and Tesla is the world's most powerful new energy vehicle company...... Zhou Shi is not the best in any field. High-end mobile phones can't compare to Apple, mid-to-high-end products can't compete with Samsung, even if it's an Internet company, most of the companies he is involved in are the second. Maybe Yahoo's portal is the first in the world, he can't be sure.
The Golden State Warriors' new stadium is already under construction, and now the home stadium is Oracle Stadium, and their finals with the Heat are still in the seventh round. Musk is coming, and Oracle boss Larry Ellison, who is the title sponsor, is also coming. I don't know if the combination of the three of them is considered an old, middle-aged and young combination.
"Made, the Warriors' stadium naming rights are sold to you, and you make a lot of money!" Zhou Shi
"NetSuite sells you and makes a lot of money!" Ellison was not to be outdone
"That's a matter of your team's ability, even if I don't buy it, you won't be able to do it well!" Of course, Zhou Shi would not look at him arrogantly
"Who said that!" Larry Ellison
NetSuite's market capitalization is approaching $20 billion, and since Zhou Shi took over, NetSuite's stock price has risen nearly 8 times, and it is very optimistic. And the founder of the former Nishina company, the founder of Workday, became the CEO of the company. It is the second largest SaaS company in the world after Salesforce.
"NetSuite takes customer success as the first element, and cloud computing is the core driving ......force," Zhou Shi said, in fact, NetSuite also invests more in employees than other enterprises. After all, there is no perfect product, only better service.
"You can crush them in minutes!" said Larry Ellison
"I don't think you have this chance!" Musk interjected
"If you don't have a chance, I can buy Renke, or I can buy NetSuite!" Ellison
"David Duffield wouldn't agree with you!" Musk, referring to David Dufield, the current CEO of NetSuite.
"I don't agree either!" Zhou Shi
"You ......" Larry was angry, in fact, Oracle has not had many opportunities to acquire NetSuite, in addition to the CEO's opposition, but also because the open source MYSQL is the world's second largest database software. The antitrust law of US imperialism clearly stipulates this, and it is difficult for Oracle to acquire MySQL.
"Forget it, don't argue, it seems that the Golden State Warriors can't beat the Heat......" Musk
