Chapter 495 New Ideas

"There are 2.76 million registered users, 940,000 daily active users, the number of downloads of emojis is directly proportional to the number of user registrations, and the current peak load of the server has reached 85 ......percent."

A series of numbers were casually reported by Sophia, and the picture displayed by the projector was a display of various charts and data.

The [ICQ] software developed by the Israelis is slightly inferior to ICY in terms of the number of registered users and daily active users, but the response of the other party is also relatively fast, not only developing a new emoji, but also connecting the email address to the software before ICY, which has greatly increased the desire of European users to register in recent times, suppressing the speed of ICY's staking in Europe.

Ten minutes later, Sophia finished reporting on the current situation of ICY, and waited for her to sit down before Mike spoke. "BOSS, the problem of mailbox hooking can be solved at the beginning of next month, although ICQ's mailbox is ahead of us, but the experience of its mailbox function is very poor, far inferior to the products developed by our company, I believe that when ICY's mailbox is launched, as far as the mailbox is concerned, we will form an absolute suppression of ICQ......"

After Mike finished reporting the development plan, Fu Zhengyi asked. "Where has online payment in the U.S. evolved?"

"At present, there is no online payment in the full sense, because banks have more concerns about online payment, especially in terms of security. For network companies, the arrival time of online payment is currently uncontrollable, so if you want to solve this problem, you need to negotiate with banks and regulatory authorities, and you need to develop a special and highly secure security system, which is very troublesome!"

Fu Zhengyi said. "Companies that pay close attention to online payments must take action as soon as they emerge!In addition, ICQ is a threat after all, and its development is still relatively slow, try to communicate with them to see if they can fully merge with ICY by way of acquisition!"

Stopping the recording, Xi Meiwen raised her head and said. "Last month, the other party's offer was $60 million, and I think the offer will increase as time goes on!"

Hearing that it was so cheap, Fu Zhengyi was a little surprised, and even said. "Go to the bank and buy ICQ with a mortgage!"

If ICQ's current valuation can be $60 million, what would be the valuation of ICY, which is more powerful than ICQ?

This question was thought of by Mike and Sophia almost at the same time, and the two looked at each other, and what they saw in each other's expressions was excitement and surprise!

Although ICY is a wholly owned subsidiary of FL North America Ventures, only Mike and Sophia have option awards in the entire team, and if ICY is also valued at $60 million, then the two of them have become millionaires!

Fu Zhengyi saw that the two of them were a little excited, and said after knocking his fingers on the conference table. "Mike, after the company acquired ICQ, you need to take over the management of the other party's development team, and you need to be cautious and cautious about the merger of users, the user experience must not be bad, and I would rather postpone the merger of some software than affect the use of users. The email hook-up is just the beginning of the software extension, and I don't think the development plans you mentioned earlier are appropriate, so you should reconsider the source of ICY's profits when you go back. Also, after buying ICQ, where to place the server and how to deal with the load capacity of the server during peak periods are all ...... that you need to put in your development schedule immediately."

"No problem, I'll call a meeting of the development department as soon as I get back to the company!"

"Sophia, you need to deal with the integration of the two companies, ICQ must have excellent technical talents, don't be stingy with what should be given, only if the company can develop, the options you and Mike have will continue to appreciate......"

After finishing the meeting with Mike and Sophia, Xi Meiwen asked people to bring in the pizza that had been ordered before, saying that Yang Wenyuan from Yahu would arrive in twenty minutes, and it might be too late to go out to eat.

picked up a piece and tasted it, Fu Zhengyi felt that it tasted good, and asked Xi Meiwen as soon as his heart moved. "This pizzeria is nearby?"

"Well, it's only two miles from the company, it's run by a young Italian man, and the business is good because it tastes good!"

"I don't think the taste is better than Pizza Hut's! You can help me find out, if the owner is interested, I want to take a stake in the introduction of this kind of pizza in China and develop it as a franchise chain!"

Unexpectedly, eating a pizza also attracted the interest of the boss, Xi Meiwen put down the pizza in her hand and prepared to go out to contact.

Fu Zhengyi raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down and continue eating. "Don't worry, this kind of thing will be dealt with by the people below after eating, you are the CEO of the company, if you even need to ask about this kind of trivial matter, wouldn't you be tired to death?"

Xi Meiwen smiled bitterly. "I'm used to it, the number of employees in the company is constantly increasing, and sometimes I feel that my ability is really limited, so I have to do it myself so that I don't get confused when asked......"

"How many of the twenty-three interns who were originally recruited ended up staying?"

Sitting down and flipping through the notebook, Xi Meiwen reported. "Tang Yan dropped out of school and went to New York, Rebecca's company is currently developing well, the remaining five will join this year, six will join next year, and some will not be able to join the company for various reasons, but they have all approached me and want to ask if they will have the opportunity to enter the company in the future?"

"Yes, they're all beautiful women anyway, not to mention the experience gained from the previous internship in the company, even if they are the front desk, they can show the strength of the company......"

Xi Meiwen was stunned, and only after a moment did she cry and laugh. "BOSS, just because there are many such employees in the company, so there are many cars parked on the side of the road every day after work, and the patrol police have issued a warning to the company, asking the company to solve the congestion problem on this section of the road......

Stood up and looked at the situation downstairs, although it was already lunch break, there were still many employees communicating with customers, and the entire first floor of the company was quite crowded now, so Fu Zhengyi asked. "How many employees does the company currently have?"

"If you include the interns, the total number of employees in the company is seventy-five. ”

"In this case, the issue of improving the office environment is on the agenda, and [FL North America Ventures], which manages billions of dollars, should not always stay in the current crowded environment and arrange the ...... according to the size of the company with 500 people."

While eating pizza and continuing to chat, Ran Ying, who was sitting in the corner of the conference room, had already become numb to listening.

Spending $60 million to buy a company seems to be just like spending money on occasional excitement when you usually go shopping, without too much thinking and hesitation, let alone any so-called analysis and calculation, just such a simple sentence, and eventually a $60 million company will be bought and completely merged with the ICY company managed by Sophia!

While eating and chatting, Yang Wenyuan arrived at [FL North America Venture Capital Company] at less than two o'clock.

Becoming a billionaire in just one year of entrepreneurship, Chinese-American Yang Wenyuan is not only a well-known entrepreneur in California, but also a star CEO of an Internet company, although [FL North America Venture Capital Company] owns nearly one-third of the equity, but this does not prevent the company's employees from being curious about this person.

Sensing that there was some noise below, he glanced at Xi Meiwen and sighed. "Oh, these American girls, one by one, they don't even have the least reserve, this was the case last time Chief Yang came over, and this time it......'s like this."

Walking over with a coffee cup and taking a look, Fu Zhengyi saw that Yang Wenyuan was surrounded by more than a dozen girls, and thought to himself that it was a pity that Yang Wenyuan got married after the company went public, otherwise these girls in the company didn't know how crazy they were.

Three minutes later, Yang Wenyuan was escorted upstairs by Old Mark, and after entering the conference room, he said to Fu Zhengyi. "Oh, I can't understand what these girls in your company think, ignoring a young, handsome, and very rich guy like you, I have to embarrass a married man like me, I don't understand!"

"This is because I rarely appear here, and all the beauties in the whole company who know me feel that they will become rich sooner or later if they do their own thing, and the beauties who don't know me don't look down on me as a young man who looks like a student!"

Haha smiled, sat down and opened the notebook, Yang Wenyuan said. "The company is preparing to carry out a stock split next month, which will expand its share capital in a two-share three-share split, which is in preparation for the issuance of some additional ordinary shares next year to raise funds......

"How many additional shares does the company plan to issue?"

"Eight percent, ready to raise 150 million US dollars to promote the construction of new network nodes in Europe......"

The development plan was introduced in detail, and Yang Wenyuan was very emotional in the end. "Justice, I really didn't expect that the bidding ranking you suggested before would achieve such good results, and the company's profit by the end of June was enough to keep other competitors out!"

"This is all the credit of you and David, one focuses on products, the other focuses on market development and capital operation, complementing each other, which will make Yahu develop so fast and so stable!"

Speaking of this, Fu Zhengyi asked Yahu about the company's capital operation ideas, and learned that next month's share split and next year's additional issuance of ordinary shares were not for the introduction of strategic partners, so he said with a smile. "Well, if Yahu needs to raise funds, then all of the common shares offered for sale will be bought by [FL North America Ventures], and the lock-up period can be extended until the end of the decade, what do you think?"

Yang Wenyuan was instantly stunned. "Ah, after the stock split next month, [FL North America Ventures] will hold 12 million shares of Yahu Company, and if I buy another 8 percent of the common stock, wouldn't that exceed my and David's shareholding?" )
