Chapter 1020: Phased Success

Mutual treasure has just begun, and AMD's acquisition of Yahoo MIPS is almost over. AMD's stock price unsurprisingly came to $9 billion, and it may wait until the Zen architecture chip goes on the market, and if it works well, it will exceed $10 billion in market value. However, Yahoo streamlined its own business and handed over artificial intelligence chips and so on to AMD, which received more praise.

A promising AMD and a more focused Yahoo, originally thought that it would take some time for Yahoo's market value to exceed $200 billion, but they didn't expect Alibaba's market value to rise and exceed $250 billion. Yahoo Japan's share price fell, but it still has a market capitalization of $25 billion. Combined with the shares of Netflix and AMD, Yahoo's holdings of these companies are worth nearly $80 billion, and even if they want to cash out, they will lose some of it, and the value reflected in Yahoo shares will be $55 billion.

Yahoo's layout in big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, mobile Internet and financial services has long been recognized, so Yahoo's market value exceeded $200 billion, which can be said to have not caused any doubts. On the contrary, many people say: Yahoo's market value is only 200 billion US dollars!

The rise in Yahoo's market value means that the market value of Google, Microsoft, and Amazon has not reached the height of its previous life. Yahoo only had a market capitalization of about $50 billion at this time in its previous life, and it is not known whether the combined market value of these companies was $150 billion, or more.

"There's no way around it!" Zhou Shi shook his head to himself, anyway, he didn't remember what the market value of Google, Microsoft, and Amazon was at this time, and he wouldn't feel uncomfortable about it!

"What are you thinking about here alone!" Yang Zhiyuan came over with a glass of wine

Yahoo has a market capitalization of more than $200 billion, which means that it has completely shaken off the decline of previous years and is back at the forefront of the Internet world. Marissa Mayer hosted such a reception, and a number of companies related to Yahoo came. These include Ahri's Jack Ma, Yahoo Japan's Sun Zhenyi, Netflix's Hastings, and AMD's Su Zifen, among others. Of course, Wang Xiaochuan and Zhang Yiming of Huaxia Yahoo also came. Uh, and all the Yelp executives!

Yang Zhiyuan is now the chairman of Liverpool Football Club, Zhou Shi invited him at the beginning, refused, and waited for two years, seeing that Liverpool has not had a chairman, he happily took office. There were not many contradictions between him and Zhou Shi, but under the fanning of the media, they were artificially created contradictions. However, as Zhou Shi became the richest man in the world, he was already one of the most influential people in the world. If he and Zhou Shi continue to have contradictions, they can only ask for their own hardships, so he has refuted rumors many times in the past few years, knowing that recently, there has been less and less mention of the contradictions between him and Zhou Shi.

Even Wanwan didn't have many people to stir up this cold topic, once said that if Yang Zhiyuan was in Yahoo, the current Yahoo might be even more powerful, and then it was blasted by the global media. Major media such as the lighthouse country ABC, including talk shows, have used this as a topic to ridicule the people of Wanwan for not being able to do their best. Including the Japanese media, they also expressed their incomprehension of Wanwan's self-confidence.

"Zhou Shi's genius lies in his unparalleled imagination, opening up a whole new path when no one can see the road!"

"Zhou Shi inherited the name of Yahoo, and he inherited the spirit of Yahoo's pioneering, not how much Yahoo left him!"

"The biggest legacy that Yahoo left to Zhou Shi in Yang Zhiyuan's era was Alibaba's shares, and without the billions of dollars cashed out from Alibaba, Yahoo's development might have been difficult, but it didn't have a big impact, and no bank would have turned down Yahoo's loan request. ”

"Yang Zhiyuan opened up the era of portals, and Zhou Shi opened the era of artificial intelligence. Or Yang Zhiyuan is web1.0, Zhou Shi is web2.0!"

Many people discussed the development of Yahoo, including many Yahoo employees, who were commenting on the two.

"I don't know the rest, after Zhou Shi joined Yahoo, even when the company had no money, he still invested a lot of money, manpower and material resources in security protection and Internet infrastructure construction. Yahoo's current protection capabilities are top-notch, and they can't be matched by upstarts like Facebook. ”

Once again, websites such as Facebook have suffered privacy breaches, and although they have not involved companies such as Google and Microsoft, they have also affected emerging forces such as Twitter. Although Zhou Shi will not believe that Google and Microsoft are behind it, it is not wrong that the Internet companies of emerging forces have a lot of disadvantages in this regard.

In particular, Yahoo has risen against the trend, Facebook and Twitter have been hit by a huge blow, and it is also said that Yahoo's market value has grabbed more nutrients from Facebook and Twitter. After all, more than 95% of Facebook's revenue comes through advertising!

Yahoo's biggest source of revenue is also advertising, followed by cloud computing and financial business income, and cloud computing revenue accounts for more than 15%, which is much healthier than Facebook.

Companies that rely on a single source of revenue are not necessarily more risky than those with diversified revenues, but at least they are more in line with the perception of safety. This is also because of the embodiment of the concept of Buffett and others not putting their eggs in one basket.

"How's it going, have you been feeling better lately?" Buffett walked over after Yang Zhiyuan left.

"Thank you for your help!" Zhou Shi said gratefully, originally he thought that there would be more evolution in Ellie's silly affairs, such as involving him and pushing him into the election of Sillari and Trump. But by this time, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway had acquired a five-percent stake in Yahoo.

This is another major investment project with great influence after Warren Buffett's investment in IBM. The rise in Yahoo's market value is actually partly due to Buffett. He used his credibility to partially endorse Yahoo and won Zhou Shi's favor. At the same time, some messy things left him for a while.

"What did I help you, you helped me make money. "Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett's investment in technology stocks is big news, you must know that he has never bought Internet companies. He was asked why in an interview.

"Because Zhou Shi told me that Yahoo's profit model is very simple, one is to build a platform with many users and sell advertisements, in addition to having a larger audience and a wider distribution, in fact, there is no essential difference from TV stations selling advertisements...... The second is cloud computing, which is a water company in the Internet era, without which it needs to dig its own well, and this profit model is relatively simple and stable," Buffett said about Yahoo'......s advantages

Zhou Shi didn't know if what he said was true or not, it looked like something was going on!

"Investing in a company is an investor, I am very optimistic about Zhou Shi, he is a natural leader entrepreneur...... "Buffett Baibei "The Rebirth of the Post-80s Legend Claw Book House" The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
