After the meeting, everyone was a little ready, and after lunch, the Yahoo garage was unusually quiet, and it was clear that everyone in the company knew what the next negotiation meant.

Yang Zhiyuan and others are also a little nervous, including Li Feng, after all, Li Feng was an ordinary person in his previous life, and then these are all influential figures in the American shopping mall, if Li Feng can really be calm, it will be strange.

And Yang Zhiyuan and others are the same, they were still students 2 months ago, and they will face those business elites next, and it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous.

In fact, the financing negotiations have already attracted the attention of the entire venture capital community and even the entire Silicon Valley, and since the decision to start accepting venture capital, Yahoo has recently become the talk of the entire Silicon Valley.

Who makes Yahoo's recent performance is really good, it has become a benchmark on the Internet, as long as it is online, there are almost no Yahoo who are not on the Internet, and the registered members have exceeded 2 million, with a total of nearly 10 million hits per day.

You know, Yahoo still had a lot of competitors on the Internet before, but since the revamped Yahoo portal was launched, the traffic of many competitors has plummeted.

......

Yahoo's performance, because of Li Feng's early intervention, can be said to have far exceeded the same period in the previous life, at least allowing Yahoo's development to advance by at least one year, or even more, which is also the biggest storm that Li Feng's butterfly has rolled up in this world so far.

A few days ago, Yahoo's 500 million valuation offer has spread in the venture capital circle and Silicon Valley, and many people say that Yahoo-Yang Zhiyuan and others are crazy.

How could such a crazy valuation quote come out, the dollar at this time was not the dollar that depreciated wildly in later generations, and the dollar was the strongest world currency at this time.

Even many public companies have a market capitalization of less than $500 million, and you can see how crazy Yahoo's valuation seems to ordinary people.

And at this time, Yahoo is still a company with less than 20 people, and it is still shrunk in a garage of more than 100 square meters.

Because of this, the whole of Silicon Valley today is watching Yahoo's first round of financing negotiations, and many people are even preparing to see Yahoo's jokes.

......

At half past one in the afternoon, as many cars arrived in front of the Yahoo garage, there was a commotion in Yahoo, and it was clear that many venture capital representatives had arrived.

Originally, I wanted to find a hotel or something in this negotiation, but those venture capital representatives proposed to negotiate directly with Yahoo, saying that they also wanted to see how Yahoo, which is popular on the Internet, works.

Immediately, Yang Zhiyuan arranged for a group of people to take a group of people to the gate of the garage in addition to the necessary staff to greet many venture capital representatives.

Li Feng followed Yang Zhiyuan out of the door, and sure enough, he saw a group of people coming out of the car, including Michael Moretz of Sequoia Capital, whom he had just met a few days ago.

Immediately, Yang Zhiyuan walked in front and walked towards everyone, followed by mutual greetings and introductions, etc., especially Li Feng's appearance, which still amazed everyone, after all, Li Feng was only 15 years old and was too abrupt in the crowd.

Similarly, the representatives of the venture capital investors are obviously heavyweights, but they also stunned the Yahoo people.

For example, Don Valentine, the founder of Sequoia Capital, and Michael Moretz, the second-generation core, John Doerr, the founder of KPCB, Steve Case, the chairman of AOL, Tim Dry, the founder of DFJ, McGovern, the chairman of International Data Group (the parent company of IDG Capital), and Andy Grove, the president of Intel Investment, Intel Investment.

Let's not talk about the little Rollo that everyone still has with them, in short, these people who came to Yahoo today are definitely the heavyweights in the heavyweight group of the American imperialist mall.

......

The gathering of so many heavyweights on Yahoo is also a historical precedent. In fact, it is impossible for ordinary venture capital to gather these big people, even if the amount of venture capital is high, it is generally impossible.

However, Yahoo has gained everyone's attention because it has set a historical precedent and proposed the profit model of the Internet, which is the most important thing.

Who are these big people, all of them are world-class business elites, from Yahoo's free "content + traffic + advertising" business model, see the incomparable prospects of the Internet, which is the main reason why they come to Yahoo to see.

When we realized the broad prospects of the future of the Internet, we were naturally curious about the companies that were proposed at the beginning, and in this case, we brought together heavyweights from all walks of life.

At the same time, this is also one of the important reasons why many capital giants are willing to sit down and talk about Yahoo after they have not directly rejected Yahoo's valuation of 500 million.

It can be said that when all the characters introduced each other, Yahoo was a little dumbfounded.

Thinking about it, these leaders are all world-class business leaders, why are they suddenly so interested in their Yahoo company, but they frightened everyone, and even Li Feng was a little stunned.

......

"Why, His Highness the Holy Son was also shocked?" Just as everyone in Yahoo was stunned, Michael Moretz walked up to Li Feng's side, and then asked jokingly.

"Michael, what are these big guys doing here, we Yahoo don't seem to be so important, right?" Li Feng came back to his senses and then asked rhetorically.

"Haha... , nothing, everyone is a little curious about Yahoo, so by chance, they all came, you know, when I saw it, I was also shocked. Michael Moretz then replied with a smile.

In fact, this is also Li Feng underestimated Yahoo, thinking about the performance of the stock market after Yahoo went public in the future, the company obviously suffered huge losses, but the stock price kept rising.

Although there is a suspicion of a dot-com bubble, it can also be seen that people value Yahoo, which is also the biggest praise for Yahoo to be the first to propose an online profit business model.

This is the case with companies in Europe and the United States, which are very important for pioneering companies. For example, Apple, the pioneer of the personal computer;

However, Yahoo is the pioneer of the Internet entry-level website-portal, and the pioneer of the Internet free "content + traffic + advertising" profit model, which has opened the door to Internet profitability and opened a precedent in the history of the Internet.

......

Li Feng glanced at Yang Zhiyuan, David Ferro, and Tim, and then walked to the side, and all three of them came over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that we still underestimate our own Yahoo, and we are muttering about our own influence, so in the next negotiations, the valuation of 500 million is tightly bitten, and even if we retreat, we can't retreat too much. Li Feng said to a few people.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Feng's words came, several people's eyes lit up, yes, if it weren't for Yahoo having something they valued, these bigwigs wouldn't have come.

Immediately, several people smiled heartily, nodded affirmatively, and immediately accompanied the big guys.
