"Boss, what do you have to tell me to call me so early?" Dumas looked at his wife beside him, and could only stop again, why is there such a big time difference between the United States and China!

"What happened to you investing in some companies in the United States?"

"We bought 12 percent of the shares from two minority shareholders in the Amazon, and the profitability of this company is really not very good, but many bigwigs in the investment community are complimenting, but in fact, few are actually investing. ”

"There is no chance for us to buy shares in American Online, after all, after Paul Allen exited, their stock price soared, and none of the shareholders who really had voting rights were willing to sell. ”

He made an offer, but the other party's offer was twice as high as his, and the meaning was already obvious.

"We wanted to take a stake in Yahoo, but we were also rejected, which is also controlled by several consortia behind the scenes, to be honest, there is still a big gap between our strength and the other party. ”

Dumas's voice suddenly stopped, because his wife knelt before him at this time, and lifted the quilt that covered him, and she could not wait any longer, lest her husband suddenly go on another business trip and leave her alone for a long time.

Dumas forced his feelings, thinking that he was still talking to his boss on the phone, he continued to organize the language: "Boss, we have also invested in many emerging Internet technology companies around Silicon Valley, including search engines, browsers, forums, information services, and so on. ”

"There are a few companies that I think have a lot of potential, so I have invested more than once, and the total investment has exceeded 30 million dollars. ”

"Boss, are we going to stop these investments, I know there have been some bad rumors lately. ”

Dumas hesitated, he has invested a lot in Silicon Valley recently, and many people are saying that there is a visionary investment company in Silicon Valley, as long as it is a company related to the Internet, it can be invested.

Even some college students came up with an idea, and this company gave investment start-up capital, which is a model of stupid people with a lot of money!

This kind of investment model was actually very common in the early years, because at that time, after the Internet technology companies in the United States went public, the stock prices rose rapidly, and the American political axe did not support it, and many investors made a lot of money.

Many others took the opportunity to sell their companies at a high price and invest in other industries. In their hands, the company may have developed to the end, but the merger under the banner of a large company can bring more profits to the large company.

But in the past two years, especially last year, many Internet technology companies in the United States have gone bankrupt, and the once high-priced shares of many companies have become worthless.

Even the top Microsoft companies have seen their share prices fall. How many investors have a wait-and-see attitude towards Internet technology companies.

Venture capital is a risky investment, but the risk is too great, when they feel uncontrollable, they will not fight, there are so many industries worth investing in, there is no need to take the biggest risk, and the profit may not be high.

As a result, there is such a company, it seems that it is the opposite of other investment companies, others hurry to sell, hoping to quickly realize the stop loss, this company is still investing, isn't it stupid?

After Dumas heard the words that people are stupid and have a lot of money, he was also very stressed. He has tried his best to suppress these remarks, but after the rise of the Internet, many of them really can't be suppressed.

He didn't want the boss to blame him for this incident, and those investments were made according to the boss's requirements. He has tried his best to screen, but doing Internet technology research and development is really very money-burning, how much does it cost to buy some hardware, not to mention paying the salary of some technical personnel.

"Okay, you don't have to say more. I won't take those remarks to heart. You're doing a good job, and it's good to continue investing along this line. Yahoo or something doesn't let us invest, that's their loss. I could have given some advice in many places, which they themselves refused, and they will definitely regret it in the future!"

In the next few years, Yahoo will still be the industry leader, but it will only be a few years, and the downhill road will come very suddenly, mainly because of their business, which is too easy to imitate.

If Yahoo hadn't invested in many Internet companies in his previous life, such as Ali Bar and other companies, so that he had many potential assets, I am afraid that he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Of course, even if Yahoo goes bankrupt, there will definitely be people who are willing to buy part of the business, they still have many high-quality assets, and the skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

But in this life, Yahoo can't pick up those cheap.

"The owners are right, they will definitely regret it. In an hour, uh, two hours, I'll send you a detailed report. ”

Dumas thought that an hour was enough, but seeing his wife's eyes, he immediately changed the time.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your email. By the way, you don't just focus on investing in Silicon Valley, you can also pay attention to other industries, if you think it's appropriate, tell me, I'll see and give you an answer. ”

Hardware requires a lot of technology, and this investment costs a lot of money. But software development is different, with the popularization of computers, the rise of the Internet, the development of software is also rapid.

Hardware companies make money, but software companies make more money. And software companies need less money to invest and more people to invest in.

Wang Haoan also began to recruit Internet technology talents in China, such as web pages, software development, etc., and the most important thing is that these talents are actually very cheap.

Whether at home or abroad, newcomers always don't get high salaries, but there are always some newcomers who can make breakthroughs more than some mature engineers.

This software development or something, and scientific research or something, has similarities, and many times it takes luck. Of course, luck is also combined with the fact that if you have a sufficient theoretical foundation, a person who does not know how to code at all will not be able to develop a good software no matter how lucky he is.

There is also the fact that many newcomers are tied to their dreams~~~ frame, which means that before you develop results, in fact, your efforts are completely disproportional to your income, and they are accompanied by research and development failures, and you can't get anything.

The boss will tell you that if the research and development is successful, you will get shares, and in the future the company will be listed, you are the original shareholder, and you will immediately become a millionaire, or even a multimillionaire.

But in fact, there are really successful people, let alone one hundredth, not one in 10,000, but they all have the dream of fame and fortune after success.

Wang Haoan will not talk to them about any dreams, and directly throws money to help them realize their dreams. Once these people's dreams are truly realized, Wang Haoan can also make huge profits.
