Chapter 257: The Pioneer (Part 2)

Missing Amazon really made Jiang Yizhou feel a little pity, and in the end he could only take over some bond rights to establish some connections.

Jiang Yizhou, who knows something about the development of the history of the Amazon, naturally does not believe this Reed Hastings.

Quietly waiting for Reed to introduce his plan, which in Jiang Yizhou's opinion is as unexciting as those O2O projects in the future.

"OK, I can give you a half million dollars, 10% of the shares. When Jiang Yizhou heard the name of the company he had just founded, he agreed to give him an investment with the idea that talking is better than nothing.

It turned out that the Netflix of later generations was like this at the beginning, but Jiang Yizhou was not easy to sigh, it was really not as good as the momentum of Netflix's father who spent money and made movies all over the world in the future.

In its original history, it knew that in 2007, it was just an obscure DVD online rental company, and in that year Netflix turned to a new journey, embarking on the path of streaming and custom dramas, which really shined.

"What?" Reed Hastings felt a little incredible, he originally saw Jiang Yizhou's face that became calmer and calmer the more he spoke, and thought that it was completely out of play, but he turned around and threw out 500,000 US dollars at this time, you must know that he and his partners contributed only 2 million US dollars.

Perhaps, in his opinion, the $500,000 is just a small expense!

Thinking of the $500 million that Jiang Yizhou earned from selling QIM, as well as his next series of operations, which made him enter the ranks of billion-level billionaires, he was a little relieved.

"Do you want more?" Jiang Yizhou asked rhetorically, "Reed, the value that Netflix has shown me now is not enough, so I can only give this amount, this is my business card, contact me again when you think about it!"

"Nonono, Tony, forgive me, I was a little surprised," Reid Hastings happily explained, "I didn't expect you to appreciate my project!

I hope you can at least double my $500,000!

Jiang Yizhou thought quite negatively, this amount of money is basically equivalent to an emotional investment, and he didn't expect Netflix, which had not caught this round of Internet tide, to bring him much return, just to invest in Reed Hastings ten years later.

Netflix can be said to be quite tragic, originally in this Internet bubble, although Netflix's profit model is not too satisfactory, but even EBVAN such a company that burned more than a billion dollars but collapsed can raise funds, and Netflix is naturally qualified to go public.

However, because of the bursting of the Internet bubble, although Netflix has achieved profitability, it was unable to resist after all, and finally gave up the listing plan in 01, laid off employees at a loss, and only successfully listed a year later because of the market recovery.

Accustomed to Yahoo and AOL's hundreds or thousands of times return on investment, Jiang Yizhou's vision is naturally much higher, and he is not much interested in long-term high-performing stocks like Netflix, so let's pick up the leak when the bubble bursts!

After meeting Bill Campbell and Reed Hastings, Jiang Yizhou was quite satisfied with this gathering, thinking that he should have more contact, maybe many entrepreneurial projects that he didn't know but seemed to recognize in his memory were still waiting for him to discover.

"Boss, do you really want to invest in this Netflix company? I'm still not very optimistic about this company, after all, they just moved their store to the Internet, and they are not too innovative, and they are not as profitable as an online store like Amazon!" Bill Green advised.

However, this kind of persuasion is generally useless, Jiang Yizhou used his own money, and in the few times he persuaded him, it seemed that Jiang Yizhou had won.

"Oh, this is my money, I don't have to use the funds in the fund, is it okay? You can write it in the memo and inform your customers!" Jiang Yizhou coped with this sentence as always.

The final result also ended with the compromise that Bill Green complained about.

……

"Oh, dear Jerry, I didn't expect you to come to see me in person, I'm so happy!" Jiang Yizhou, who came to Yahoo headquarters to participate in the board of directors to discuss related matters by the way, hugged Yang Zhiyuan, who greeted him, and said with a smile.

"This is a big deal, how can I be absent!Tony, do you say yes?" Yang Zhiyuan naturally understands the importance of this deal, if it can successfully digest Foxmail's six million users, this is definitely a huge boost for Yahoo, and it also makes up for a shortcoming of Yahoo.

"Of course, it's a big deal for you, for me, and for Yahoo!!" Jiang Yizhou put his arm around Yang Zhiyuan's shoulders and walked into Yahoo's headquarters side by side.

"Hey, Mr. Moretz, you're here too!" sat down in his seat and looked around, he knew four people, the current Yahoo CEO Tim Courg, Sun Zhengyi from SoftBank, Yang Zhiyuan, and Sequoia Capital's Moretz.

Because a large acquisition was involved, this board meeting was attended by all the heavyweights.

Moretz was sitting beside him, so Jiang Yizhou greeted him politely.

"What a great boy, I didn't expect you to be so optimistic about Yahoo that you would even give Foxmail to Yahoo?"

Moretz is also curious about why, Jiang Yizhou does not seriously make this free mailbox that is second only to the pioneer, if it is transformed into a portal, there is not much obstacle to creating a billion-level listed company around these two.

Jiang Yizhou pursed his lips, and naturally couldn't tell the truth, that is, he was relatively lazy, and he planned to put the main battlefield in China and the surrounding markets to lay a good foundation.

The United States wants to take advantage of the Internet bubble to make a big profit, establish good contacts with major companies and investment banks, get the equity of some favorite companies, and by the way, buy the bottom when the bubble bursts.

You can't say a word like that.

"I just don't have any interest in repeating the trend, can I still surpass Yahoo after transforming into a portal? It is also quite difficult to continue to develop Foxmail and Hotmail, I have no interest in continuing to do it, or blogger, Google products like this are my heart!"

Jiang Yizhou spread his hands and said big words without shame, building himself into a pioneer who is obsessed with innovation and striving for the first.

"If I don't have any amazing ideas, I don't want to take charge of it myself, it's better to be an investor!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Moretz with a little apprehension, but he didn't expect the latter to really nod in agreement.

Because Jiang Yizhou's record and deeds are indeed like this, from qim to Foxmail, to blogger and Google, they are all leading and innovative products, rather than following the trend, which has to be convincing.
