Chapter 470: PayPal
Xu Qing went to various companies to inspect for several days in a row, but fortunately, Xu Qing's companies are basically in the Bay Area, so he doesn't have to walk too much.
There are also 2 more important companies in other cities, one is a trading company in Miami and the other is a western restaurant chain company, also in Miami.
These two companies will be inspected after a while, the managers of the trading company are Sophia's parents, and the western restaurant chain company is a good friend of Sophia's parents, so there is no need to inspect them.
Xu Qing has always been in control of the company's development status, and with Xu Qing's current status, he looks at many things, pays more attention to the results, and the process does not matter.
As long as these 2 companies can accomplish the goals set, nothing else matters.
This is also one of Xu Qing's ways to be lazy, otherwise Xu Qing has so many companies, each company has to know the details, and 24 hours a day is not enough.
In addition to inspecting the company, Xu Qing also met with people from various forces who were allies of interest and strengthened their feelings.
Many people wanted Xu Qing to sell the shares of Future Group to them, some Xu Qing refused, and some Xu Qing agreed.
At present, in addition to the shares owned by the Xu family and the company's management, the shares owned by other forces add up to 8%.
It's inconceivable that in a company of the level of the Future Group, other forces only own 8% of the shares.
Microsoft companies at the same level as the Future Group, their shares have long been divided by major forces.
Apple, which is one level lower, has the same stake as Microsoft.
As long as it is a company with a valuation and a market value of more than $10 billion, their shares are divided among the major powers.
No matter where you are, you will be beaten by other groups of people if you eat alone.
It has not yet happened that a person who eats alone can beat someone else's group fight.
Xu Qing now also feels that various forces are tempting him, intentionally or unintentionally, to test his bottom line for his companies.
If they find that Xu Qing's bottom line is very low, then they will rush up and grab the shares of Xu Qing's company.
If the bottom line is high, they will hesitate, they will be cautious, and they will not attack easily.
After all, with the power that Xu Qing now has in his hands, crazy revenge is still terrifying.
They will stab Xu Qing with various soft knives and release Xu Qing's blood.
They've used this approach against a lot of start-up companies.
Xu Qing's bottom line for his companies is to have absolute control, and he has never thought of completely owning all the shares.
It's okay to want a stake in his company, just pay the price.
………………
Xu Qing came to Future Group, and yesterday afternoon, the U.S. government approved that Future Group's online payment tools could be listed.
At 10 o'clock this morning, the online payment tool will be officially released to the public and connected to the Future Mall.
This online payment tool was named PayPal by Xu Qing, and yes, Xu Qing stole the famous PayPal of the original time and space.
It's really Xu Qing who can't think of any good names, he is a difficult name.
Xu Qing also solicited the name of the online payment tool in the company's content, but found that PayPal was better.
PayPal was born in 1998, and now it is 1997, I don't know if its founder has come up with the name PayPal now.
If they figure it out, when they see that the future group's web tool is also called PayPal, will they have a feeling of beeping a dog in their hearts?
After PayPal is launched, any enterprise and institution can apply for access, and Xu Qing does not want PayPal to be used only by Xu Qing's company.
Xu Qing wants to make PayPal the payment tool with the largest number of users in the world, and the market value will reach hundreds of billions of dollars one day.
Therefore, from the beginning, Xu Qing set up a company for PayPal, which belongs to the future group, which is not only convenient for business cooperation with Xu Qing's other companies, but also convenient for splitting and listing in the future.
Speaking of which, the Future Group is getting bigger and bigger, and at its current valuation, it is about to surpass Microsoft's market capitalization.
This year, the valuation and market value of Internet companies will rise sharply, and they will continue to rise before the Internet bubble.
Xu Qing expects his net worth to exceed at least $100 billion this year, and Bill Gates, the second richest man, will be at most $40 billion.
The gap between the net worth of the two sides is too big, will it be too showy?
Definitely, the gap between the net worth of the richest man in the world and the second place is so big that it is difficult to think of the limelight.
Xu Qing plans to dispose of his stakes in various companies this year to make him look like he doesn't have that much money, just more than $70 billion.
This is the real wealth and trouble.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, PayPal was officially launched, and the future mall immediately opened a payment channel and displayed relevant information on the homepage.
A few months ago, the Future Mall was advertised that online payment tools will be launched in the coming months.
PayPal also did publicity before going online, advertising on TV, newspapers, and the Internet.
Coupled with the global popularity of the future group, PayPal's popularity is now not low.
Today, in addition to the future mall access to PayPal, Xu Qing's other companies have also connected to PayPal, and in the future, consumers who want to buy products from other companies on the official website can choose to pay with PayPal.
At the same time, there are several companies that do not belong to Xu Qing and are also connected to PayPal.
Today, the heads of these companies came to the future group to witness the launch of PayPal.
Xu Qing shook hands with them and exchanged photos, and a piece of news was born.
At noon, Xu Qing had lunch with the vice president level and above managers of the future group, the general managers of future mall and PayPal, and representatives of those companies.
After lunch, Xu Qing returned to the villa, and now he doesn't have to deal with the affairs of PayPal and future Mall, he just needs to wait for tomorrow's results.
What are the sales of the fture mall today, how many consumers shop through PayPal, and what is the transaction volume of PayPal today.
Xu Qing has set a goal for these three things, and it depends on whether he can complete it.
The parents knew that Xu Qing didn't have to work in the afternoon, so they called Xu Qing to the apartment.
Since Xu Qing told her parents that she was going to have a child this year, her parents were very concerned about Sophia, and they also persuaded Sophia from time to time not to work and to have a spare tire with peace of mind.
But Sophia has never let go, her parents can't break through from Sophia, so they want to break through from Xu Qing and let Xu Qing persuade Sophia.
During this time, Xu Qing also spent a lot of energy to sleep with Sophia, but it also had no effect.
Parents taught Xu Qing various methods to see if they could convince Sophia.
I don't know what methods his parents will teach him today, anyway, Xu Qing doesn't have expectations, the methods taught by his parents before have no effect.
Xu Qing came to his parents' apartment, they were sitting on the sofa, and when they saw Xu Qing coming, they asked Xu Qing to sit down quickly.
Xu Qing asked his parents bluntly what method he wanted to teach him today.
The old mother glared at Xu Qing, what is the hurry, a good way to say it slowly.
When Xu Qing saw his mother's appearance, he knew that the method taught today was definitely not an effective method.
Because his parents used to tell him like this, and then the methods they said were all on the street.
