When it comes to a heavyweight product like foxmail, it is natural that there will be no discussion of a result for a while.

Jiang's only takeaway was his successful integration into Yahoo's board.

After the meeting, he took the initiative to find Yang Zhiyuan, although the current Jiang Yizhou is not as good as Yang Zhiyuan's status, but it is not much worse, and his popularity among Chinese in Silicon Valley is not small.

"Mr. Yang, I have always admired you for achieving such great achievements!" Jiang Yizhou followed Yang Zhiyuan, and he led the way to visit Yahoo's headquarters.

"Just call me Zhiyuan, or Jerry, I've been paying attention to your deeds, the qim, foxmail, and bloggers you founded and developed, in my opinion, are all very groundbreaking new things, but it's a pity that I met a giant like AOL, otherwise if elink is successfully listed...... Yang Zhiyuan's temperament is quite gentle and upright, and he chatted with Jiang Yizhou in Chinese friendly.

Jiang Yizhou said lightly, "Actually, I like to invest very much, my own ability, in fact, is to do qim, foxmail is relying on Allen, it is a big cow that I dug to develop to the present, I recognize myself very clearly, there are too many ideas in my head, and my ability is insufficient." ”

Yang Zhiyuan laughed, "Tony, don't be kidding, now I don't know that one of the hundred entrepreneurial projects in Silicon Valley can get out of the seed round, and each subsequent round of financing will die many batches, if you are all incapacitated, then how can those failed entrepreneurs be embarrassed?"

The two of them talked and laughed, one was friendly, and the other had the idea of contacting historical celebrities, but they also talked happily.

"Actually, we have locked in a network communication company called four11, and we plan to acquire their technology to launch Yahoo Mail, but you really surprised me today!" Yang Zhiyuan is naturally the best to acquire Foxmail, which is behind and bites Hotmail, which has been online for half a year earlier than it, but whose user growth is not inferior at all.

Although Yahoo is thriving now, it also needs more and more channels and functions to enrich it, and the most practical functions are nothing more than email and instant messaging, but the valuation of QAIM is too high, one billion dollars, enough to half of the current market value of Yahoo, and finally acquired by AOL.

Yahoo, on the other hand, plans to launch email first, and then develop its own instant messaging software as a supplementary feature.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly thought that the person in front of him was not the person who developed QIM? As a leader in opening up a new field, he must be able to create another instant messaging software.

He couldn't help but feel hot, so he asked, "Tony, if I asked you to be in charge of the development and operation of Yahoo Instant Messaging, would you accept it?"

"Ah~~" Jiang Yizhou was also taken aback by his sudden question, and then remembered the agreement signed with AOL, although he lamented that he would be so looked down upon, he made an ugly smile, "I'm sorry, Jerry, I signed a non-compete agreement with AOL, which is also part of the acquisition, I am only allowed to operate instant messaging products in the mainland and surrounding areas, not to mention developing instant messaging software for Yahoo!"

"That's it, I'm a little abrupt!" Yang Zhiyuan said understandingly, non-compete agreements are a common thing, he was excited to see Jiang Yizhou, the founder of the world's first and currently the world's largest instant messaging software.

Bill Green also went through some procedures, and returned to the Passat with Jiang Yizhou, and was driven by Shen Qing as when he came.

"Thank you for your hard work, now that the venture capital company has not set up a shelf, I want you to come over and help me handle the affairs in person!" Jiang Yizhou said to Bill Green with apologies.

"No, no, no, I think I like it here, the outlook, and the architecture are very much in line with my vision. ”

Bill Green, who will represent Jiang Yizhou on Yahoo's board of directors in the future, is dissatisfied with Yahoo's fact that it is still adding entries by hand instead of automating like the current popular search engines, but there is no doubt that from the overall situation of his overall situation, he is definitely worthy of the current market value of two billion US dollars.

And according to the development trend, although there is no 50 times the increase mentioned by the boss, it is conservatively estimated to be 10 times, which is predictable in the long run.

"By the way, how did they talk to you about Foxmail?" Jiang Yizhou asked, after these professional negotiations were attacked by AOL, he did not participate, but only set the bottom line and conditions.

"No, Foxmail's price is too low, and it doesn't quite meet your requirements, and cooperation is not an option they can accept. Bill Green shook his head.

Jiang Yizhou's request is naturally that the team can't sell it, but Zhang Xiaolong has to stay under his hands, which is indeed difficult for some strong people, and can even make people think that they don't want to sell at all.

But he just talked casually, and didn't have much to expect.

Back in the office, Jiang Yizhou, who hadn't contacted his parents for a long time, thought that Erya was going to start tutoring before school soon, and it was actually a formal class, so he asked his parents and sister how they decided!

Waiting for Jiang Maoyou to run around for ten minutes and call the family of three, Jiang Yizhou was a little surprised, Er Ya actually had this idea, although he saw that there were fashion magazines in her magazines, but he didn't expect his sister to ......

"Xiaoya, you told my brother, have you really thought about it? You have to know that to be a star, you first have to take the art school, practice your body, learn to act, practice singing, maybe in the end you have studied for many years and found that you have no talent, are you really willing?"

Jiang Yizhou relied on some impressions he knew in his mind to Xiaoya about the disadvantages of taking this road, although Xiaoya's foundation is good, but she has not studied acting or dance, and the foundation of singing, just in the past two years, I don't know if I can be admitted to the ideal college, such as Nortel Chinese Opera.

If there are conditions, it is definitely not as good as taking a professional class.

"Brother, I think about it, I can endure hardship!" Xiaoya is not a person who can't endure hardship, but she has pride in her heart, when she was poor at home and didn't want her to go to school, she thought that she must go to the outside world with her own efforts to see.

And now, because of family conditions, Jiang Xiaoya's original goals can be easily achieved, and now she wants to pursue something higher.

Jiang Yizhou was silent for a long time, sighed, how you want to choose, just choose, as long as you are willing to work hard and do not break the law and commit crimes, he still has the ability to protect his sister from the mud.

"Xiaoya, you give the phone to Mom!" Jiang Yizhou heard his mother answer the phone, so he asked, "Mom, do you agree with Xiaoya's decision?"
