"Lao Yang, Yahoo China is not worth much money, compared with the shares of Yahoo Company controlled by the Six Ears Fund, this is an addition."

Pang Zhou crossed Erlang's legs and looked at Yang Zhiyuan, who was silent in front of him. Normally, the two should not get along in this kind of atmosphere, it seems that Pang Zhou looks like Huang Shiren, and Yang Zhiyuan is Yang Bailao who doesn't want to use Xi'er to pay off debts.

"No, Yahoo China will have a lot of development in the future, and the Chinese Internet is showing its power. I believe that in a few years, Yahoo China will be a valuable asset to Yahoo. ”

Yang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, resisted Pang Zhou's pressure, and resolutely did not agree to his request. However, looking at his face, he didn't look happy at all, but was very painful.

Pang Zhou spread his hands helplessly, nodded and said, "Well, if that's the case, the Yahoo shares that the Six Ears Fund wants to sell must rise by $2." ”

Yang Zhiyuan's face sank like water, and he nodded: "That's the price, 9.46 billion US dollars, in exchange for 8.6% of Yahoo's shares in the hands of the Liuer Investment Fund." ”

"That's it, how much time do you need to raise money? If I can, I hope to get the money this week. Of course, if you use European or Japanese high-quality bonds, I can accept it, but it is better not to use US bonds, as you probably know. ”

Yang Zhiyuan groaned with a complicated expression, and agreed: "No problem, I can contact Son Zhengyi and exchange it for $3 billion of Japanese Yahoo corporate bonds for you." For the remaining $6.46 billion, I will try my best to choose a variety of payment methods. ”

Pang Zhou jumped up from the sofa, stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Old Yang." To be honest, we've been together for many years, so we're friends, right? ”

Yang Zhiyuan nodded. Shake with him: "Of course, hehe." To be friends with the investment emperor of Silicon Valley, no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it. ”

"Then I'll say something nasty."

Pang Zhou stretched out his finger and pointed back to his chest, looked at Yang Zhiyuan and said: "Although you are from Baodao, you and I, in terms of appearance, language and writing, and national culture, are all of the same clan and the same clan. You may know me, my family has a bit of a status in China, and many people will think that my career in Silicon Valley is more or less because I have a good father. ”

"Nope. I know that. Yang Zhiyuan said sincerely: "You can have today's achievements because of your own efforts and talents." ”

Pang Zhou smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Three points, maybe I have some hard work and talent, but there are more people who are better than me in this regard, such as you." These personal factors of mine are the most, at most only three points in my success, and the remaining seven points are because I have a good master, and you know who he is. ”

"I know. It is Zhou Shuo of Pan Han Group. ”

Yang Zhiyuan has dealt with Zhou Shuo a lot, starting with Liuer Software Company, and later Rebirth Technology Company, Yahoo has cooperated with him several times.

Knowing Zhou Shuo's energy behind Pang Zhou. He didn't think that the age of the two was similar, so how could they be called master and apprentice.

"Yes, there is no Master. I, Pang Zhou, may still be selling stocks in Mukden now. My master can now be said to be the richest man in China, and perhaps the richest man in the world can also be compared. But you know. We Chinese don't talk about this, and we want money not to be exposed. But anyway. Over the years, none of the investments I've made in Silicon Valley have been unsuccessful, right? ”

Pang Zhou folded his fingers and said: "Don't talk about you Yahoo, I still have 2.4% of Microsoft's stock in my hand, which is worth about $14.4 billion." Amazon's stake is worth at least $4 billion, eBay has more, and my master even directly guided their early business model construction, with 21% of the shares being at least $10.3 billion. In addition, the Six Ears Fund also holds a 1.1% stake in AOL, to say the least, $2 billion. Not to mention other small investments, the Six Ears Investment Fund only grasps the value of stocks, and it will have a scale of more than 50 billion US dollars......"

Yang Zhiyuan swallowed his saliva and wiped the sweat from his forehead. God is pitiful, he, the richest Chinese in the United States, is only worth billions of dollars.

Yahoo's market value in 2000 was as high as more than 130 billion, which was also Yahoo's most glorious time. However, the ensuing bursting of the Internet bubble led to a decline in Yahoo's stock price, and by 2001, its market value had evaporated by more than 20 billion. But even so, Yang Zhiyuan himself is still worth nearly 10 billion.

But this is actually just the beginning, and Yahoo is about to ride its roller coaster. By May 2001, it would be in a backward position in competition with AOL and a series of business mistakes, so its operating income fell by 42%, and its stock price fell even more, and at its worst, the company's once-100 billion dollar market value was wiped out by 90%, leaving only $11 billion.

If you want to compare it, Yahoo at this time is clearly the Titanic an hour before it hit the iceberg.

It is not surprising that the Six Ears Fund is in a hurry to get off the ship at this time.

"So you say, am I a success?" Pang Zhou finished counting with his fingers, raised his head and asked Yang Zhiyuan.

"Yes, of course." Yang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "If this is not a success, then what else is success?" ”

"Well, do you think I'm so successful, should I be respected accordingly?"

……

Yang Zhiyuan closed his mouth and became speechless. He knew what Pang Zhou meant, no matter how successful the Chinese in the United States are, they are still Chinese.

If you're in a company, there's an invisible glass ceiling waiting for you. And at the level of Pang Zhou and Yang Zhiyuan, no matter how superficially a white American is, he still can't escape the contempt in the eyes of the other party.

Yang Zhiyuan, who grew up on Treasure Island from childhood to adulthood, has a life and culture that are incompatible with the social environment in the United States.

In 2008, he would be jointly set by Google and Microsoft for various reasons, and he was ousted from the position of CEO by investors. It's almost a curse for Silicon Valley companies, where an Internet company, no matter how successful it is, ends up as a puppet on Wall Street. As the CEO of Yahoo, Yang Zhiyuan will experience more human coldness.

Looking at the existence of blacks and Latinos, and even Indians in the U.S. government, and then looking at the status of Chinese in American society, Yang Zhiyuan certainly can't say anything against his will.

Pang Zhou patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "So, I want to leave a word for you." No matter what nationality you are, what achievements you have, or where you are, you will always be a Chinese. ”

Yang Zhiyuan looked at the back of Pang Zhou, who turned to leave, and did not speak for a long time.

In the imperial capital, US Ambassador to China Joseph walked out of the building with a stern expression, opened the car door, got into the diplomatic car flying the American flag, and then drove away.

Even with such a low-pressure scene, Wang Guozhong still couldn't help but slip a little. Si Jiang Cheng didn't pay much attention to him, thinking that whoever he heard would be like this.

In the department where the North American Division is located, it is impossible for them to withstand the pressure of the Americans without revealing some truth.

It is not a problem for the Pan Han Group to provoke the Americans, but the overreaction of the Americans is quite intriguing. Comparing the two, to be honest, there is a high possibility that a private enterprise will be sacrificed.

But on the other hand, if they can withstand the pressure of the Americans, you can imagine how much benefit it will take.

What are the benefits?

Jiang Cheng only revealed one word to Wang Guozhong slightly: trillion plan.

It's trillions, not just in case.

Could it be that the country wants to vigorously develop the electronics industry, and is ready to invest a trillion yuan in this regard? At least literally, from the expression of the director, by all indications, this should be the only answer.

But with China's fiscal situation in 2001, where to find this trillion? Last year, China's fiscal revenue for the whole year was only more than 1.3 trillion yuan.

This point made Wang Guozhong puzzled.

If it weren't for the state to come out with this money -- well, certainly not from the state -- that's never possible. The more people he learned about the government, the more certain Wang Guozhong became that this was impossible.

Even if the Great Elder and the Elder Council give an order, the trillion plan can make the people below lift the table. This has nothing to do with hierarchy, it's a matter of pure common sense.

So, if it's not the state that comes out with this money, who is going to pay for it?

Wang Guozhong will never suspect that this is fake news, and it is impossible for the fake news to let his leaders resist the US ambassador to China.

He remembered the Sherlock Holmes novel "Four Signatures" he had read when he was in school, and there was a sentence in it that impressed him the most, which should have been said.

"Stripped of all the impossible, what remains, no matter how unwilling you are to believe it, is the truth of the matter."

When there was only one answer left at the end of the final thought, Wang Guozhong couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that the so-called trillion plan will be the failure of the Pan Han Group to come up with this trillion?

If this is true, it would be terrifying. A private company, the vast majority of the shares of this private company still belong to a young man in his early thirties.

Wang Guozhong has seen Zhou Shuo, and it is really hard to imagine that such a young person can control trillions of capital.

Somewhat annoyed, he pushed open the office window, fumbled into his pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes. The curling smoke kept rising on the cigarette, but he just held it in his hand and didn't take a sip. At this moment, his heart was really indescribably a little frightened. Such a thing, for him, there was almost a feeling of collapse of the worldview.

If you put it in the past, this can be regarded as a rich country, right? The corners of his mouth showed a wry smile, is this considered a blind eye?

Wang Guozhong raised his eyes and happened to see the US Ambassador's car that had already driven a little far, and he seemed to have a feeling of panic in his eyes. (To be continued......)
