105 The Son has arrived

As the news of Yahoo's final round of financing spread, it attracted the attention of many media and people.

Especially when some capital first contacted Yahoo, the news of Yahoo's management's current valuation of $2 billion suddenly caused an uproar in the venture capital community.

Although I knew that Yahoo's valuation would not be low, I didn't expect it to be so high, Yahoo, which has not yet been listed, is valued at 2 billion, so if it really wants to be listed, how much can the market value be.

A lot of people are ready to watch Yahoo's jokes and think that Yahoo's management is a little inflated and crazy.

Li Feng also pays attention to Yahoo's news every day, and from time to time talks with Yahoo's company representatives, Yang Zhiyuan and others to understand the situation.

For more than half a month, we have been in contact with the capital of all parties many times, negotiated several times, and have not yet been negotiated, and the highest price of capital has reached 1.6 billion US dollars.

The last time Li Feng talked to Yang Zhiyuan on the phone, he jokingly said that it was my turn to break the game next.

said that he waited until the news came out that he was ready to accept a valuation of $2 billion, and he didn't know how the outside world would react. Will it be said that these people are colluding with each other, etc., everyone laughed on the phone.

......

Li Feng calculated that the time was almost up, Yahoo's financing had been discussed for a long time, and it seemed that it was time to end the farce, and then it seemed that Silicon Valley and Los Angeles were not far away.

Isn't Los Angeles to San Francisco the famous Route 1, just when a trip along Route 1 happens, and immediately start arranging people. For the world-famous No. 1 Highway, Li Feng really hasn't walked it.

It just so happens that Charlize has been busy with movies lately, and yes, with a lot of exposure recently, Charlize and Halle Berry have been busy.

Charlize has had a lot of opportunities to appear in movies, although they are still some supporting roles, and similarly, Halle Berry seems to have entered a period of rapid career development.

A day later, there were two off-road vehicles in front of the back, and an RV in the middle, all of which were bulletproof cars, and of course, they could only prevent the attack of ordinary firearms, and the cars were all newly bought.

There were 2 security guards in the front and back, as well as 2 lawyers and 2 negotiators, plus the driver and Bob in the middle, and a group of 11 people drove out of their estate. After that, I drove out of Los Angeles and got on Highway 1 towards San Francisco.

This time, he went to help the platform, so Li Feng deliberately arranged a strong pomp.

......

Just as Yahoo in Silicon Valley, Yahoo management was arguing with many venture capitalists and capitals, but Li Feng and his party were slowly walking along Highway 1 towards Los Angeles.

Here, Li Feng and Yang Zhiyuan have negotiated properly, and they only need to arrive within 2 days, and they have enough time to browse the scenery all the way.

Although it is from the south to the north, although it is not more beautiful to travel from the north to the south in terms of senses, this trip to Highway No. 1 still makes Li Feng sigh that it is really worth the trip.

After coming out of Los Angeles, we headed for San Francisco, passing through Malibu and Santa Barbara along the way.

After all, these two places are too close to Los Angeles, and Li Feng didn't look at them, but earlier, Li Feng asked the real estate company to pay attention to the development of these two places, and it is said that there are already projects in these two places.

Li Feng knows very well that these two places will be one of the most beautiful and expensive areas in the United States in the future, and it is a sure deal to open real estate now.

......

After entering the Danish Village, Li Feng stayed for a few hours, and after eating lunch, he browsed and tasted the Danish songbook style.

After that, I won't mention Hearst Castle, after all, I just visited, passed through the famous Josel National Park, visited Elephant Beach, and watched the dense elephant seals resting on the beach, which made Li Feng an eye-opener.

Next up is Big Sur, known as the most beautiful section of Highway 1, during which Li Feng's motorcade stops from time to time to take a look at the surrounding scenery, such as seals, redwood forests, cliffs, the sea, and the blue sky.

The day passed by the magnificent, majestic Bixby Bridge, said to be the largest single-arch cement bridge in the world.

The bridge is occasionally featured in movies, television, and commercials, and is one of the most visited spots for tourists, along the California coast and among the cliffs.

Finally arrived at the bohemian town of Carmel, ready to stay in this town for a night, for this town, Li Feng is also quite curious.

It is said that the town refuses to modernize, any form of advertising, prohibits the installation of neon signs, and prohibits fast food restaurants, so it is very rare not to see McDonald's and KFC in the town.

......

Early the next morning, after eating a style breakfast in Carmel Town, he continued to start the convoy and left, but he arrived at a section that made Li Feng speechless, the famous '17 miles', which is a private trail, and the only thing that needs to be paid for Highway 1 is to buy a road fee.

Li Feng was still thinking afterwards that the owner of this section of the road was more bullish, and it was estimated that a hidden family bought the ranch where this road was located, and as a result, this section of the road became a private land passing through people's homes, and naturally the owner could charge a fee.

Li Feng was also thinking that if the Hearst family hadn't donated the castle to the government back then, then they could also set up a road fee like the owner of 17 Miles, after all, it is said that all the vicinity of Hearst Castle was bought at the beginning.

Next, although the scenery along the way is not bad, but it always feels average, the only thing is to stop at the respective corner lighthouse and Half Moon Bay State Beach, take some photos, and finally arrive in San Francisco.

After eating and resting in San Francisco, the group finally headed for Silicon Valley, the destination of the trip.

......

At the same time, in the Yahoo conference room, there is also a heated debate, there are negotiations about the market value and shares for 3 days, and there is still no result.

After all, according to the valuation of 2 billion yuan, 20% of the shares, this time it is a one-time financing of 400 million US dollars, which is all cash, but not a capital can eat, including Sequoia Capital, KPCB, IDG, Defengjie, etc., well, they are all old friends, all here.

"Jerry, I don't think it's too disappointing for you to insist on not giving in, yes, we are all optimistic about Yahoo, but that doesn't mean we have to invest in Yahoo, does it. ”

"That's true, guys, I think you can see the development of Yahoo, and the popularity of Netscape has made everyone realize the charm of the Internet, isn't it?

I think you're well aware that Netscape is just dominating the browser market, and I think the browser battle has already begun, and we don't know what the browser market will be like in the future, but I think you're all very clear about Yahoo.

Yahoo has taken over the Internet entry market, and our management all believe that the future of Yahoo must be far beyond Netscape, in fact, the valuation of only 2 billion does not mean that Yahoo, we actually think that Yahoo is undervalued.

In the future, Yahoo will make big moves to further occupy the current market and open up new markets, such as Asia and South America.

The future is bright for Yahoo, and I assure you that your investment will pay off. ”

Yang Zhiyuan was already very confident at this time, and he didn't change his color and talked eloquently to the big guys.

......

Just as everyone entered the heated debate again, Li Feng entered the conference room under the guidance of the staff.

"Wow, Your Highness the Son, you're finally here, I thought you didn't care about Yahoo anymore. Seeing Li Feng walk into the conference room, everyone stopped arguing, but David Ferro stood up first and hugged him, and then said with a smile.

"David, you look red, it looks pretty good, everyone, hello, wow, so many old friends are here. Li Feng turned around and saw a lot of familiar faces.

"John, your legendary Son has finally arrived. Don Valentine also said with a smile at this time.

"It's over... , you don't have to worry about me, just talk about it. After Li Feng finished speaking, he walked in front of the representative of his company.

"Boss, you're finally here, please. Lewis stood up, invited Li Feng to take a seat, and then stood behind Li Feng.

"Lewis, thank you. Li Feng smiled back, and then sat down at the conference table.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Feng thought to himself, no wonder the big names in movies and TV like to appear at the end, and the scenes that attract the attention of the audience are still very pretending to be 13.

Just a dog-legged by his side, followed the crowd and said, "The Holy Son has arrived..."
