In later rumors, the two owners of Yahoo dropped out of school to set up a company, starting in a garage, and the two young men started from scratch, and in just three years, they turned a small website for self-entertainment into the world's largest Internet website, with a market value of billions of dollars, which is very inspirational.

But what many people don't know is that these two 'self-made' are indeed in the garage, but this garage is larger than the average American middle-class house, and the garage belongs to a luxury villa, even in a place like the United States, where the per capita residential area of the middle class is large, this villa can still be regarded as magnificent.

The advantages and disadvantages of capitalist society lie in the 'use of money to talk about things', as long as there are good projects, there is never worry about no one investing, Yahoo was founded only half a year ago, there was an injection of two million US dollars, and although it has been losing money, on the contrary, more and more of the world's top investment banks have taken a fancy to this emerging Internet company.

And Yang Zhiyuan, one of the founders of the company, is not a person who treats himself and his employees harshly, and after having his first investment, the first thing he did was to rent this large villa with a comfortable life.

By the villa's pool, Yang raised a glass of amber champagne and toasted Sun Dawei, who had just returned from China.

"David, thank you so much for everything you've done for Yahoo, but now we don't need that money anymore. Yang Zhiyuan said.

Sun Dawei came with Liang Yifei's mission.

There are priorities, he and Liang Yifei talked very thoroughly when they were in China, and after they came back, the first thing they did was to find Yang Zhiyuan and talk about how to enter Yahoo for 3 million US dollars to cooperate.

Along the way, he thought of a lot of wording and reasons to dispel all kinds of doubts that Yang Zhiyuan and Yahoo executives might have, but he didn't expect that Yang Zhiyuan didn't ask a word and directly denied the proposal.

"Why?" Sun Dawei asked puzzledly: "Before I left, it seemed that there were still huge financial holes, don't we need this money?"

Hearing Sun Dawei say 'we', Yang Zhiyuan's eyebrows raised slightly, and a flash of displeasure and a slight look of disdain flashed quickly.

Yang Zhiyuan can say 'our Yahoo', and in public, he will also say 'our Yahoo' to all employees, but in fact, it is very clear who Yahoo belongs to.

It was him and another founder, David, Sequoia Capital, SoftBank Mr. Sun, and a few real executives of Yahoo.

And Son Dawei is just an ordinary engineer at Yahoo.

In addition, there have been some internal problems recently, which makes Yang Zhiyuan more sensitive to the positioning of 'our'.

However, this expression flashed quickly, and Sun Dawei did not notice, he just continued to shake the champagne in his hand and said, "David, do you know why there is champagne today?"

Yahoo is a high-tech start-up company, and the people in charge are very young, so they usually don't ban alcohol, and some people even drink alcohol to work, but in the United States, champagne has a unique significance, and people may usually drink red wine, spirits, and cocktails, but basically no one drinks some champagne when they have nothing to do in normal times.

"Is there anything to celebrate?" asked Sun.

"Hahaha, of course. Yang Zhiyuan said: "SoftBank's Mr. Masayoshi Son has agreed to inject a one-time $100 million into Yahoo in April in exchange for a 35% stake in Yahoo, and then go all out to promote Yahoo's IPO financing." So, David, don't mention money to us now, the last thing Yahoo lacks is money! In the next few days, the only headache we will have is probably how to spend this 100 million well. ”

Sun Dawei never expected that Soft and Hard would be so generous this time, you know, it was only less than half a year since the last SoftBank capital injection, and SoftBank only gave two million US dollars at that time, and just half a year later, there would be such a big move.

Is this Mr. Masayoshi Son too poisonous, or too bold and too gambling? !

Of course, now these are not important, with 100 million US dollars, and 35% of the shares, I think with my ass that Yahoo at this time will never accept a Chinese request for 3 million US dollars for equity.

What's more, the bottom line of Liang Yifei's equity is 5%, and if it is calculated according to the ratio of Softbank's 100 million to 35%, the three million US dollars will only be 1%.

After several long talks with Liang Yifei, he could understand that part of Liang Yifei's intention was to use a small amount of capital to occupy a large number of shares when some promising companies in the United States were still rising, if it was only 1%, it would obviously be meaningless.

You know, in the Chinese mainland market, 3 million US dollars is not a small number, if this money is in China, what Liang Yifei can do must be more valuable and meaningful than this 1%.

So after a split second of measurement, Sun Dawei gave up the request for shares, saying, "Great, with this money, Yahoo will definitely expand next." ”

"Of course. Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile: "We lack everything, lack of equipment, lack of manpower, lack of venues...... But with this 100 million, we don't lack anything. ”

Lacking everything, to sum up, is two words: lack of money.

"Isn't it possible to think more about international students from China?" Sun Dawei gradually introduced the topic to the point.

"Why do you suddenly talk about Chinese students?" asked Yang Zhiyuan, who didn't understand.

This kind of thing is just like the agreement reached with Liang Yifei before, they are not sending commercial spies, and they don't want to cause any legal disputes, so Sun Dawei briefly talked about what he could say to Yang Zhiyuan.

On the mainland, some bosses may also want to engage in high-tech such as the Internet in the future, but the mainland lacks talents in this area, so they are willing to sponsor some international students to enter American enterprises for internships.

These international students come for internships, and the treatment can be slightly lower, and the mainland can subsidize them, but the future will be decided by the international students.

Of course, international students can also stay in the U.S. company in the future, only need to repay the funding they have received, and even if they return to China or change jobs to other companies, they will be kept confidential according to the agreement of the previous company.

This is also a major policy drawn up by Sun Dawei for the future of the Strait Investigation Commission, and there is no difference between the employment plan of the Strait Investigation Commission and the current American market, people go and stay freely, students can apply for loans, various agreements, etc., but students apply for student loans from the bank to get subsidies from the Strait Investigation Commission, and this subsidy includes both student assistance and career assistance.

In the future, even start-ups.

The United States advertises the world with equality and openness, but in fact, what is most lacking and shouting, among the developed countries in the world, the inequality in the United States is really the most serious, Asian students, especially Chinese students, in some aspects, such as bank loans, are not as convenient as blacks, many Asian students in the school stage, can only go to work, with a low salary more than half lower than the same workers, barely to maintain life and study.

As an aside, this piece will cost Liang Yifei a lot of money, and it is an ongoing expense, which is why he is in such a hurry to find some cash cows.

"I am of Chinese descent, and of course I do not exclude Chinese students. But ......" Yang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and said: "However, I am no longer a CEO, just an ordinary executive and major shareholder, so I have no right to agree to your proposal." If there are Chinese students who are willing to join, they can go through the normal process of assessment and hiring. ”

This is tantamount to nonsense, although Yang Zhiyuan is no longer the CEO, but as the founder and major shareholder, he still has a lot of say in Yahoo, in particular, the current Yahoo has not embarked on the road of expansion, or adopts the kind of 'a few people say' operation model.

If you can't reach a tacit understanding with a high-level person like Yang Zhiyuan who really has the right to speak, and gain emotional inclination, it will be very difficult for the sea to send people to Yahoo.

Seeing that Sun Dawei's expression was a little displeased, Yang Zhiyuan's tone softened a little, and said: "Dawei, you and I are both yellow-skinned and black-eyed, from a personal point of view, although I don't like the mainland, what I don't like is its manager, according to our words, the mainland is a occupied area." Of course, I don't like the Chiang family and the president of the United States, the Internet youth are anarchists, hehe. However, the people of the occupied areas are also the people and our compatriots, and if the conditions are fair, I am of course willing to accept them. ”

"So, but what?" asked Sun Dawei as he looked up.

"You must know that inner freedom is often subject to the constraints of reality, and without the constraints of reality, inner freedom is absurd and ethereal. Yang Zhiyuan said something that sounded quite mysterious, and then said: "This is the United States, Yahoo needs to be listed in the United States, our investors are Sequoia and SoftBank, and what we need to face are American shareholders and regulators." However, do you think Americans like the Chinese? Is the US government willing to see too many Chinese in their cutting-edge listed companies? If so, then why did Eisenhower send a cruiser to intercept Qian Xuesen and a group of other scientists returning home?"

"That's the Cold War mentality. Sun Dawei frowned and said.

"That's the normal human mind. Yang Zhiyuan Zhengse said: "The United States can allow China to reform and open up and become economically rich, because the United States needs to have a bigger market, but it will definitely not allow China to surpass it in the cause that can determine the future of mankind." ”

Sun Dawei continued to frown and said, "I think you're thinking too much. ”

After a pause, "In addition, you must understand that the fate of the Chinese is only in their own hands. ”
