Chapter 959: Harvest Season
"Are you under magic, or are you going to pretend to be someone? Why are you different from you before?"
"We wanted to be a woman like Yulia, she's so cool, she's beautiful and capable, and she's the center of attention wherever she goes. Every word she said was carefully written down by those reporters, for fear of missing a word, every day people from all over the world came to wait to be summoned by her, she was simply a queen! What model, singer, not as good as her! She told us, she was trained by you, can you also train us to be like her, we are not afraid of hardship!" This is Nikki's official answer to Hong Tao on behalf of the three little sisters, don't look at Paris is the biggest, the oldest, in terms of heart and eloquence, she is not as good as her sister.
"Then I need you to at least study until you graduate from college, otherwise I can't train you, I don't want to teach a person who can't even count money to be the president of a big company, let alone do business with her, she will kill me. You'd better go back to school first, and when you graduate from high school and go to college, we'll start training. After graduating from college, I'll give each of you a company and see which of you can run it best. At that point, you don't have to ask Casey or Richie for a penny, you can buy them gifts, with the money you earn. Every day you can order ten, fifty, a hundred of your men to work as you please, just like Yulia. If she says she lacks a set of clothes now, every fashion store in Paris will immediately send someone to send her clothes to her room, wouldn't that be much better than going to the mall every day?"
Yulia was originally an elite selected from a large group of people. After the kind of rigorous training in the special departments of the former Soviet Union, they are better than ordinary people in most aspects. She is also the only woman in Hong Tao's team who is ambitious, ambitious, and pursuing. Hong Tao doesn't have the ability to train people like this. But he is still very good at fooling 3 little girls under the name of Yulia.
In his opinion. Children at the age of 15 or 6 are full of fantasies, ideals, and dreams. At this time, as long as they are given a visible and tangible motivation, they may be able to work towards this goal. When they really reach adulthood, they will become more realistic and rational, and then they will know whether they really want to do something. Hong Tao plans to use Yulia as bait to lure them back to school, and they don't have to think about it in a few years, maybe by the time they graduate from college, they will have forgotten about themselves. At most, it's just an ordinary acquaintance.
"I've talked to Casey that we'll go back to high school this fall, but before we do that, we want to make you a secretary and see how you work and learn as much as you can. Casey said that it would be better to follow you for a day in school for a lifetime, and she and Ike were very supportive of our idea, and praised Nikki and I for finally having the appearance of the heirs of the Hilton family. And that's what my grandfather meant. "Paris doesn't seem to say anything else, and she wants to bring her family out at every turn, and this habit is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and sometimes she doesn't really want to express anything. But that's what it sounded like.
Since their parents have agreed, and it is really not the right time for them to go back to school now, they should stay with them if they want to. Anyway, there is no need to go to the sea to fight for his life anymore, and a few more secretaries are nothing. As for learning to do business with yourself, don't even think about it. It's not that I don't teach them, but I don't know at all. You can't teach them how to be reborn and rely on their memories to make people known.
Han Xue has no opinion on Hong Tao's decision, when she heard Singh's life experience, she no longer has any hostility towards her, she feels that Singh is more pitiful than herself, and has been treated like a slave for more than 20 years, how uncomfortable this is!
On the afternoon of April 12, 1996, the captain's bar of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel was full of people, and Hong Tao rarely wore formal clothes, but he did not wear a tie or formal leather shoes. This was still forced by Han Xue to wear it by pulling his ears, but this custom-made high-end suit was worn on him, how did he look like he was wearing a sportswear. What kind of person is really virtuous, the kind of energy that comes out of his bones, he can't hide it with clothes alone, especially when he himself doesn't want to hide it, this may be what we often call temperament.
But during this time period, no one paid attention to Hong Tao's temperament and proper clothing, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two TV screens temporarily placed in the bar. Originally, there was no TV here, but Han Xue asked people to go to the mall to purchase two back, and asked the hotel's engineering department to pull in two satellite TV signal lines, because everyone wanted to watch Yahoo's live broadcast here.
At 5:30 p.m. Hong Kong time on April 12, that is, at 9:30 a.m. New York time on April 12, Yahoo Inc.'s stock was officially listed. Yulia once again appeared on the second-floor balcony of the New York Stock Exchange, and rang the bell with a small hammer with Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro. Then the number that was originally 13 began to scroll non-stop, and the frequency of transactions was faster than when Netscape was listed, and it only took an hour to break through the $20 mark and run towards $25.
At this time, Singh, Paris, Nicole, Nikki and Han Xue's mobile phones rang almost at the same time, and these calls were not made to them personally, but to Hong Tao. Now Boss Hong is already a full-time secretary, so he doesn't have to carry his mobile phone in his pocket all day long, let alone decide whose calls to answer or whose calls he doesn't have to answer. Han Xue had already helped him put all the people who needed to know his private phone number into four mobile phone numbers, with each of the four secretaries in charge of one, and she herself in charge of Hong Tao's own one. Anyone who calls has to be interrogated by these 5 women first, and there is nothing serious about it, and it is not Hong Tao's turn to answer at all.
"I now know why the ancient emperors didn't understand the people's suffering, and they were all fooled by a confused queen like you!" Hong Tao felt that Han Xue could avoid a lot of trouble for himself by doing this, but he also deprived himself of a lot of freedom, isn't this being under house arrest!
"Shut up for me! If you dare to say more, I'll let the swallow roll back, and then you two will make it clear to me!" Han Xue didn't get used to Hong Tao this time, and directly threw out the killer move, and then Hong Tao was silent.
After only staying in the captain's bar for more than an hour, Hong Tao was bored, and he didn't know how much money it could rise, anyway, as long as the momentum was good, it showed that Yahoo's development was not greatly affected by itself, as long as it was the company in the previous life, he didn't have to worry about not having enough money to spend in this life. In his previous life, Masayoshi Son's SoftBank only invested 100 million US dollars in Yahoo, and in exchange for 38% of the shares, it became the world's top investment company, making tens of billions of dollars, and now he has 10% more shares than him!
He himself can not care, not care, and not value, but others are not as relieved as he is. In order to celebrate the success of this listing, Han Xue not only wrapped the captain's bar, but also the best Cantonese restaurant in the hotel, Wenhua Hall, after drinking, it was eaten, and the lively banquet guests are the normal reaction of traditional Chinese to happy events, as Hong Tao said, secretly go back to the room to increase the chance of making a villain, which is a freak!
"How much? you say again...... Ah......" After the banquet ended, Han Xue was still given the Fa by Hong Tao in the living room of the suite. When she bit her hair and frowned desperately to resist Hong Tao's attack, Hong Tao only whispered a word in her ear, and then her defense line immediately collapsed, and after screaming, she fell straight on the windowsill, and the sweat all over her body was reflected by the neon lights outside the window like small diamonds.
In fact, even if every drop of sweat on Han Xue's body is replaced with diamonds of the same weight and volume, it is not enough for Hong Tao to make more money from Yahoo. In just one day, 48% of Yahoo's shares in Hong Tao's hands have changed from 180 million to 400 million. This is only the actual price, if you want to transfer it as a whole, many consortia and investment companies are looking forward to it, and there is more than one that secretly sends Qiubo to Yulia, and the offer has reached 2 billion US dollars.
This time, Hong Tao did not betray Yang Zhiyuan and Fei Luo again, and he had promised the two of them before that whether it was Crystal Orchid Capital or Aigo, their holdings of Yahoo shares would not be reduced on a large scale for at least 3 years, and the minimum would be maintained at about 30%. It was precisely because of Hong Tao's assurance that the two of them rejected the offers of other venture capital companies and decided to cooperate with Hong Tao.
3 years is not a short time, especially for a venture capitalist, Hong Tao has no obligation to promise anyone that he will not change his mind for ten years or eight years, if he and Yang Zhiyuan and Fei Luo really say so, they will immediately have to switch to other companies. Because this promise has no practical meaning at all, it completely violates the normal rules and logic of the mall, and the first impression to others is that you are fooling others around.
According to Yulia's estimates, Yahoo's market value could rise to more than $5 billion within a year, and if the average estimate of the market value of listed companies is calculated according to Volkswagen's estimate, there is at least 15 times the room for growth. That is to say, after 2 or 3 years of growth, Yahoo's market value is likely to exceed 40 billion US dollars, and the shares in Hong Tao's hands will not be calculated in billions, and there will be one more zero added to it. So for Hong Tao's decision not to sell shares in a hurry, Yulia really admires it, but she is still worried about the overall transfer of Netscape's shares. (To be continued......)
