Chapter 183: The Coming Storm (1)

In March, the warm sun is shining.

Jiang Yan's children's mood is as good as the weather, Dad has the best car in the community, and he also bought a big villa on the side of the Yukun River,......。 What makes her happiest is that she can go to the United States with her father to play, who has been to the nasty ghosts in the community?

"Dr. Jiang, are you going to work in the United States?"

"On a business trip, the company sent me to the United States to recruit engineers. ”

Still going to the United States to recruit people?

"Yanyan and the two of them are also going?"

"They're going to play, Auntie, we'll go first."

The family of three drove away in a brand-new, shiny black BMW, under the envious gaze of a group of aunts. After a while, Li Jiaming, who had not appeared in the community for two years, appeared, still driving his old 'Fukang', and was quickly stopped by these aunts.

"Grandma Zhao, Aunt Li......"

It's hard for Li Jiaming to have a good memory, and none of them are wrong, which makes these aunts so happy that they can't keep their mouths together. This is the most capable young man in the community, not to mention finding a big star as his girlfriend, but also doing such a big career.

"Jiaming, why are you here today?"

"Hey, hey, send a classmate over. ”

After answering these old ladies who couldn't be provoked, Li Jiaming introduced the 'Great Plague' to them again. These old ladies are not good at stubble, so don't let them check themselves like they used to and run to check the temporary residence permit of the plague.

"This is my fellow countryman Wen Li, he works in the Provincial Planning Commission of Jiangxi Province, preparing to take the postgraduate examination of our school, and this time he came to Peking to prepare for the exam. He lived in my old house, and asked my grandmothers and aunts to take care of him. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, come to us with difficulties in the future. ”

The openings are all official, these old ladies, forget it, don't talk about it. Li Jiaming settled the plague and wanted to fight for another year, and drove back to the company by himself, this kid is a chatterbox, and his mouth can't be closed, otherwise it's okay to go to school and live with the water boy.

However, Li Jiaming is not optimistic about the plague, now the computer major is too hot, and the computer major of Peking University is one of the best in the country, how can it be so easy to get in?

When he arrived at the underground parking lot of the SOHU Building, Li Jiaming parked the car and just opened the door, when he was blocked by Sun Hui's small white BMW. White shirt, beige skirt, high heels, it's a pity that she is a little fatter, otherwise the capable Sun Hui is a standard white-collar beauty, and she is the kind with a successful career.

"Fuck off, I still have something. ”

"Hey"

The capable Sun Hui parked the car, trotted over, and said curiously: "Brother, what's so urgent?"

Last time, he asked himself to borrow $500,000 with a dead face, but he refused to say what he would use it for, and this time it is estimated that nothing good will happen.

"If you have something to say, you have nothing to do. ”

"Brother, did you soak a foreign girl in the United States?"

Li Jiaming, who was in a hurry to go back to the office to talk on the phone, was too lazy to take care of it, so he went straight into the elevator to go back to the company, and then asked the front desk not to give the girl a visitor card. Sun Hui hurriedly called Ruan Zhi, but as soon as she heard the report from the front desk, she didn't dare to let her go.

"Xiaohui, don't make trouble. There is something important in the head, and you can't bother at this time. ”

"What's the matter?"

In order to put on the skin of an American brand on the iPod, Li Jiaming did not hesitate to set up a company in the United States, and also blocked the news both internally and externally.

"The courtyard has given the head to make a speech, and the speech is being revised. ”

"You're coaxing me?"

No way, who made this a sister?

Ruan Zhi, who was also dressed as a white-collar beauty, had no choice but to pull the tired sisters into the fire escape, blast the smokers away, and whispered: "Don't ask, isn't it just the increase in rent? If you think it's expensive, just rent it elsewhere, it's useless to intercede with him." It's not that you don't know him, and Sohu Real Estate never interferes in the affairs of the property. ”

"You said it lightly, one square meter has risen to 89 yuan!"

It is indeed a bit expensive, and the monthly rent of 89 yuan per square meter is almost the same as the price of Chang'an Street. But who let the best office building in Zhongguancun is SOHU Building, and the companies that open websites are all crowded here, and they all don't pay for money.

"You say that people nowadays are really, is there such a website? When the team leader and Zhang Fox made sohu with them, how much hardship did they suffer? When they were poor, they ate instant noodles every day, and they were good, and they used investors' money to drive luxury cars and rent such expensive offices, and they simply didn't treat other people's money as money!"

"It's not that they have money, it's that investors have money. I've heard that FM365 has a financing deal with Goldman Sachs at a $1 billion valuation!"

Another big company that will raise the rent, Sun Hui screamed angrily: "Don't let people live?"

This is also to vent dissatisfaction, and if Sun Hui wants to make a website herself, she has to be so extravagant and wasteful. If nothing else, the money is too easy to find now, just make a small website to come out, and those rich people are holding banknotes to ask for investment!

Li Jiaming, who didn't care much about these things, was very disapprehensive after hearing Ruan Zhi's report. In more than ten years, I am afraid that the monthly rent of one square meter will have to rise to four or five hundred yuan, so where will it go?

"Head, don't look at our company's money, our company's people have high salaries, and the per capita salary in Beiping City last year was only 14,726!"

Li Jiaming, who was drinking tea, was startled, he really didn't pay attention to the current average salary, and he almost lost touch with the outside world every day when he stayed in the company.

"Xiaozhi, how is the salary level of Internet companies now?"

"SOHU has about 7,000 ordinary employees, about 6,000 in our company, and the rest of the income depends on bonuses; the technical backbone of those companies downstairs is more than 10,000 on average, and the highest ones can get 30,000 or 40,000. ”

Crazy, Sohu's salary is high because he has money on the account and continues to make profits; Hanhua is because the iPod is too profitable, and other companies dare to offer such a high salary?

How can SOHU's success be so easily replicated? When the bubble bursts in the United States, I don't know how many chairmen and general managers in this building will go bankrupt.

"Do many people quit their jobs in our company?"

"There are a few on the Lifang side, but not on the Hanhua side. ”

When the people who left had no vision and no luck, Li Jiaming didn't care about how many people went or stayed, and after the mobile phone on the table rang, he motioned for Ruan Zhi to go out.

Kyle's negotiations were deadlocked, and Yahoo's bid matched to 100 million, so they could talk about it further, but they had no cash, so they could only exchange shares for shares.

"Boss, the stock market is too hot right now. ”

Yes, even the 100 million mark is advancing, let alone AOL? Zhongguancun is so crazy, you can imagine how crazy the United States is.

"What about your opinion?"

"Boss, I think you're right, when others are greedy, we need to be afraid. ”

This is true, but if you stick to it, maybe you can add hundreds of millions!

Li Jiaming was silent, and Kyle on the other side of the phone was also silent. The two have discussed this many times, and both believe that the current NASDAQ has formed a serious bubble, but neither is sure when this bubble will burst. If the timing is mastered, it is equivalent to the company working hard for a few years, and if the timing is not grasped well, I am afraid it will be a pillow of yellow sorghum.

Don't look at Yahoo now valuing HH at 12 billion, and is willing to pay 2.4 billion in cash to acquire 20% of the shares, but as soon as the bubble bursts, they will definitely give up immediately, even if HH is really worth so much money. During the stock market crash, cash is king, and Yahoo is as large as it, and it is necessary to hoard cash and prepare to choose fat and eat.

Li Jiaming racked his brains and thought about it for nearly half an hour, but he didn't think of the specific situation of this stock market crash, only knowing that this stock market crash would bankrupt countless companies. And his plan is based on the fact that Yahoo can provide itself with at least 1.5 billion in cash, otherwise it will be difficult to rely on iPod alone.

Forget it, it's not a big mistake to be careful, it's not bad for this last bite of soup. When it comes to such a large amount of acquisition, it will take at least a month to go through the legal process alone, and you can't be greedy anymore.

"Kyle, agree with their offer, sign the agreement right away, and refuse to swap shares, we just want cash. ”

On the other side of the ocean, Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll do it in a month. ”

Li Jiaming was the same, after making a phone call, he smoked half a pack of cigarettes before he went to wake up Ruan Zhi and help him revise the speech. The Internet is so hot now that he, a student who has not yet graduated, was caught by Vice Dean Xiao and returned to school to give a speech.

This is a big deal, maybe the decision just now will cost him a lot of money, Li Jiaming still takes the speech very seriously. Fame and fortune, money can buy fame, but it can't buy fame; sometimes, fame can be more effective than money!
