135 ISY pomp
Naturally, there was a lot of excitement next, and at the same time, Li Feng also received a lot of financing requests, but they were all temporarily refused.
Li Feng asked everyone to wait first, saying that their products may not be as good as you imagined, you can see the next results, I hope you will go back and think about Yunyun clearly, and politely refuse.
Declining everyone's financing and the rest of the messy requests for cooperation, Li Feng was thinking about how YY would develop next.
The whole month of May is ISY Day, and ISY is buzzing all over the country, and I'm looking for you to become the hottest word on the Internet.
Especially three days later, a Madonna endorsement advertisement in less than 1 minute - 'Did you find it today?' began to be broadcast in the United States, and the effect was indeed fantastic.
With the release of YY, ISY users are simply a day, and netizens suddenly found that compared to the simple group chat in the chat room, ISY is much more advanced and private, which soon caused a boom on the Internet.
From the date of release, if it broke 500,000 registrations in 3 days, and then as the advertisement began to broadcast, it exceeded 1 million in 1 week, 3 million in half a month, 5 million users in the United States in 1 month, 8 million users worldwide, and 3.5 million online at the same time.
……
Nowadays, although the Internet users in the United States do not have a YY account, but they can also reach 2 or 3 people, according to the company's estimates, at most 2-3 months, YY will be able to basically wipe out the Internet users.
Li Feng is not the unlucky trio of the three ICQs in his previous life, and under the opening of money, YY has naturally made a breakthrough development.
At the same time, within a month, both European and American language versions have been almost formed, and in the last month, YY European headquarters and various branches such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, etc., plus Canada, Australia and other English-speaking branches.
Since South America was once a colony of European countries, the official language was either Spanish or Portuguese, Dutch, French, etc., coupled with today's reality, there are really few South American Internet users, so there is no branch.
The company has established its headquarters in English-speaking North America and Ireland in Europe, as well as Hong Kong headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region in the future, plus an Arab headquarters in Dubai.
This is still remembered after chatting with Mansour, to be honest, Li Feng almost missed the Arab countries, so how can the Middle Eastern tyrants themselves forget.
Naturally, in line with the principle of equal interests, the Dubai company also gave Mansour and the Emirates of Dubai a part of the shares.
There is no way, for the location of the headquarters, Li Feng has made a decision very simply, as for why Ireland was chosen as the headquarters, you don't see that later generations such as Apple, Google and other European headquarters are located in Ireland.
……
Li Feng learned that Ireland is a tax haven for American companies, and naturally whether it is Hong Kong or Dubai, it is also a tax haven, and it is naturally the first choice for headquarters.
Naturally, Li Feng knew that the European headquarters of companies like Google and Apple were located in Ireland and the Asia-Pacific headquarters were located in Hong Kong, based on the memory of his previous life, and he probably knew that it was to avoid taxes, but it was not clear how to avoid taxes.
But it doesn't matter, I have a group of experts who specialize in playing finance, and as soon as I told Bill Willibe, they sent a team over to help build various regional headquarters companies and internal equity issues.
According to Bill Weilbe, in this way, in the future, YY's income will be managed by sub-region, and more than half of the tax can be avoided, which is to seize the legal tax loopholes in various places and avoid taxes.
Although Li Feng doesn't know how to achieve it, as long as it is 'reasonable and legal', of course it is okay to avoid taxes, anyway, he only needs the result, you must know that the corporate tax of the US imperialism is really a bit high, almost around 40%.
It is no wonder that in the previous life, as long as the big enterprises of the United States imperialism, whether it was Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc., they registered companies in major tax havens around the world, to put it bluntly, for reasonable tax avoidance.
……
"BOSS, I'M BACK. ”
On this day, while Li Feng was sitting in the office of Silicon Valley Company playing Blizzard's game, Eric Schmidt finally appeared next to Li Feng after almost a month of absence.
That's right, since the launch of YY in Silicon Valley, a week later, Li Feng directly let Eric fly to Europe, and then let him personally take charge of the construction of the European headquarters, and at the same time set up an Asian headquarters in Hong Kong.
"Eric, you've worked hard all this time. Looking at the dusty Eric, Li Feng couldn't help but smile and comfort.
"BOSS, don't work hard, now the framework of the European headquarters has been basically completed, and at the same time, the European version of YY will be released in early June, and the Asian headquarters has also begun to be built, and now it is in full swing to recruit people. ”
"Oh, so is there a candidate for the president of Europe and Asia today?"
"This is the candidate who was just pushed by the headhunter, BOSS, you can take a look. ”
Hearing the importance of his boss to the presidents of the two regions, Eric Schmidt immediately handed Li Feng the last document.
Today's Li Feng knows very well that if you want to run a company, the leader is very important, and if Feixun is not led by Eric Schmidt, it is estimated that it will be a mess, so when the branch is established, the headhunter will directly start looking for the person in charge.
……
Li Feng first picked up the candidate for president of the European region, and Li Feng actually cared more about the situation in the European region, after all, Europe and the United States are always linked, which can make Li Feng feel at ease.
Li Feng, who was a Chinese in his previous life, knew very well that those countries in Asia were deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and if an American or even an American company wanted to turn the clouds and rain in China or a country deeply influenced by Chinese culture in the future, it is estimated that it is even more likely to be unlucky.
Of course, there are advantages to being an American, and some countries in Asia can always borrow the tiger skin of the American, at least for now, except for the two big countries of the Oriental Lion and the Polar Bear.
In fact, today's Yahoo Japan Masayoshi Son has mentioned to Li Feng several times that YY Japan should be established, hoping to refer to Yahoo Japan's model, and SoftBank hopes to invest in the construction of YY's Japanese branch, and Li Feng is now considering its possibility.
Of course, Europe does not mean that you can run at your disposal, and you will not see that in the future, whether it is Microsoft, Google, FB or something, they have all faced European antitrust investigations.
......
I didn't want to do this, so I immediately picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them, and as Li Feng flipped through the candidates, I couldn't help laughing in my heart, and at the same time I felt a burst of emotion: "Damn, it's all talents, talents, talents." ”
I thought to myself, important things are said three times, and they are all talents.
