Chapter Twenty-Five: Yahoo Calls

> Yahoo.

If Sina is only the king of China's gateways, then Yahoo is the world's top gateway.

In 1994, Yang Zhiyuan and Ferro founded Yahoo.

In 1996, Yahoo was officially listed on Wall Street, and the total stock price reached $500 million on the first day of listing, while Yahoo's turnover in 1995 was only $1.3 million, and the actual loss was $630,000, and it was not until the end of 1996 that it made a meagre $90,000.

By 1999, Yahoo's share price had reached 500 yuan, with a total market value of more than $100 billion, creating an Internet myth.

However, it began in 2000. With the bursting of the dot-com bubble, Yahoo's stock price began to fall sharply.

"I didn't expect that Chinese Internet companies would have such technology."

The person browsing the NetEase portal is none other than Yang Zhiyuan, chairman and CEO of Yahoo.

"Fei Luo, a portal website NetEase in China, have you paid attention?"

"Attention, this is your website in China."

"Yes, I didn't expect that China would develop so fast."

Although Yang was born in China, he grew up in the United States and is now fully American. However, regardless of whether Yang Zhiyuan is an American or not, he still has a certain sense of belonging to the country where he was born.

"That's true, I took a look at their NetEase section design, and it was a genius. I'd love to poach their designers if necessary. ā€

"yes, but I'm more concerned about their flash advertising technology. You know, it's a technology that we've thought about before. And we've been working on this technology for a long time. But the news that the real yĆ n room gave us is still not much direction......"

"Damn, those guys, weren't they very confident before?"

Ferro sighed too.

"So what now?"

"I think it's necessary to contact NetEase."

Yang Zhiyuan doesn't want to give those programmers too much time, as the leader of the global website, if they have been technically manipulated by others, it will be really too embarrassing. Of course, it is important to note that he has also found that dynamic ads like falsh can be a great help in monetizing website ads.

"I think so too. However, I think it is possible that NetEase will not sell it to us. ā€

"It's possible."

Yang Zhiyuan nodded. How can this core technology be sold to others?

Not to mention selling it to others, even to help you realize this technology, there are not many possibilities.

"Anyway, let's contact them. Of course, if they don't agree, we'll let the real yĆ n room make a copy of NetEase's technology. It should be said that this is not a technical problem. It may take some time, though...... Of course, we're more than willing to spend some money to use such technology right away. ā€

"That's right."

Ferro agrees.

Now Yahoo's stock price is falling every day, and after the Internet bubble, many investors don't have much idea about Yahoo. If it continues like this, no matter how good the future of the Internet is, it will have a great impact on Yahoo. If you have falsh advertising technology at this time, you can also boost Yahoo's momentum, and you should spend money to buy a better advertisement. Moreover, such technology is also beneficial for them Yahoo.

A few days later, NetEase hosted two staff members from Yahoo.

When Yahoo proposed to buy NetEase flash advertising technology, Ding Lei did not reply immediately.

He was considering whether he should sell such technology to Yahoo.

In fact, Flash advertising technology is not Ding Lei's, and Ding Lei cannot sell it unilaterally to Yahoo. Of course, in his heart, Ding Lei didn't want to sell to Yahoo. After all, this falsh advertising technique, while seemingly insignificant, is now the best in the world. Moreover, it can also be used as the core technology of NetEase, which is not comparable to other websites.

This can be a huge benefit in terms of improving the image of the website.

Therefore, no matter how much money is given for such a technology, Ding Lei will not want to sell it.

However, it is precisely this kind of technology that is not NetEase's, nor is it Ding Lei's, so Ding Lei can't be the master.

Thinking about Zhang Ning's help to him these days, Ding Lei still felt very guilty in his heart.

Although he did not sign any contract with Zhang Ning, it was only a verbal agreement, but Ding Lei was an honest man.

In the end, Ding Lei was still ready to tell Zhang Ning such news.

In any case, the technology is not your own, whether to sell or not, you can't decide, it's better to sue Mr. Bai.

Moreover, Ding Lei has some guilt in his heart for Zhang Ning. Especially when Zhang Ning only received 2 million from him, Ding Lei was even more grateful to Zhang Ning. If the technology is sold to Yahoo this time, presumably, with a large company like Yahoo, it should give Zhang Ning a good price. In this way, your heart may feel better.

Thinking of this, Ding Lei logged on to Netease Bubble, and when he saw that Zhang Ning was still online, he sent a message over.

"Yahoo wants to buy Mr. Bai's flash advertising technology, I don't dare to call the shots, Mr. Bai, do you want to sell it?"

"Yahoo?"

Zhang Ning was very surprised to receive this news, but he didn't expect that such a technology would even be taken by Yahoo, the king of portals.

"They also took a fancy to flash advertising technology and offered a high price of 10 million yuan."

Speaking of this, Ding Lei was a little embarrassed.

The same kind of technology, Yahoo gave 10 million, and he only gave 2 million.

"Oh......"

10 million.

Not bad.

I have a start-up capital of 2 million, but I didn't expect that Yahoo has another 10 million.

With this 12 million in hand, then even if the current Tencent is in front, Zhang Ning is sure to destroy him.

was about to agree, but suddenly, Zhang Ning stopped.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Ning suddenly asked Ding Lei's thoughts.

"I ......"

Ding Lei was a little strange, how did Zhang Ning ask what he meant. But strange is strange, Ding Lei still said, "Yahoo is so generous, much more generous than me, I think this price is good." ā€

"It's not a matter of price. I mean, if I sell them this kind of technology, I'm afraid it will have some impact on you NetEase. ā€

At present, NetEase is under the overhaul and flash dynamic advertising technology, and most media, including a number of investment companies, are interested in NetEase may be able to take this opportunity to make a profit. This is a very big benefit for NetEase. If such technology is sold to Yahoo at this time, although it seems that it will have no impact on NetEase. After all, one is in the United States and the other is in China. But everyone would have thought that one was originally unique to the world, but now it has become exclusive to two families, and the status is completely different.

"This ......"

Ding Lei was guessed by Zhang Ning, and he felt a little blushing, but he was an honest man, so he nodded and said, "In my heart, I don't want Yahoo to have such technology." ā€

"Then why are you still contacting me?"

Zhang Ning only made unilateral contact with Ding Lei, and in this world, no one knew that there was such a powerful figure as Zhang Ning. It is estimated that many people now think that such a technology may have been developed by a genius program in NetEase. This is not surprising, and generally large Internet companies will have such technical talents. Some even set up Internet technology practice rooms, like Yahoo, in order to study various higher-level Internet technologies.

"Falsh advertising technology is Mr. Bai's, you have helped me so much. If I don't tell you such news, then my character is too bad. ā€

Ding Lei told the truth.

This sentence made Zhang Ning very satisfied. At the same time, for Ding Lei, Zhang Ning has almost recognized.

It seems that what the outside world said is almost the same, Ding Lei is still a relatively honest person, and he helped him in vain.

Still, Mr. Zhang is ready to sell such technology to Yahoo.

"Okay, promise Yahoo. However, I have some inconveniences in contacting them. ā€

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you, and I'll transfer the money to your card when the time comes."

"Okay."

Zhang Ning nodded. However, Zhang Ning comforted Ding Lei slightly, "Actually, I also understand your thoughts, but I got the news that such a technology may be researched in the United States in two months or earlier." So, whether you sell it to Yahoo or not, it's actually the same. ā€

"Ah, really?"

"Of course."

Zhang Ning confirmed, and said again, "Internet technology is not considered technology, maybe before the emergence of this technology, many people may not think of it." However, when such a technology appears, many people can study it and develop their own technology...... This is not too much of a problem technically. ā€

"I see."

Ding Lei was a little ashamed, feeling that he was really selfish, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, I thought too much." ā€

"It's fine."

Zhang Ning expressed understanding. Everyone has selfishness, not to mention, Ding Lei successfully suppressed his selfishness.

That's the difference between a good guy and a bad guy.

A good person is not always good, he also has bad thoughts. But the reason why he is still a good person is because he only thinks about these bad thoughts at most, and does not put them into action. But bad people are different, they don't just think about these bad thoughts, they do it.

"However, Ding Lei, when you mentioned Yahoo, I have a good idea."

"What thoughts?"

"Aren't you going public soon?"

"yes, we've already done a roadshow in the U.S., and the response is okay."

"Congratulations, congratulations. Still, I think you can make it better. ā€

ā€œļ¼Ÿļ¼Ÿļ¼Ÿā€

Playing three question marks in a row, Ding Lei's heart became excited again.

Because he knows that every time he gets Mr. Bai's guidance, every time he benefits a lot.

This time, Ding Lei looked forward to it again, "Please also ask Mr. Bai for guidance." ā€

"Hehe, I don't need to do it this time, you can use Yahoo."

"Yahoo?"

"That's right. If you announce a partnership with Yahoo before you go public, wouldn't it be a huge boon for investors? ā€

Yahoo is the king of global gateways. Although the Internet bubble is now, it is not comparable to the small NetEase. If NetEase announces a partnership with Yahoo, it will definitely be a super positive.

"But will Yahoo work with us?"

Ding Lei asked a crucial question.

"Absolutely."

"But we don't have anything to work with Yahoo?"

"Falsh ad tech, isn't it?"
