Chapter 476: Wealth Interview
"Pang, the QQ developed by Yahoo is really incredible, our company now basically uses this software for online office, as well as Google search and hao123 URL navigation, and now the Internet is almost inseparable from them. I've heard that you're splitting Yahoo from them this time, which is a bit of a pity, if these are combined, Yahoo's market value should be able to multiply several times......"
Buffett held champagne and talked with Pang Xuelin.
At this time, Bill? Gates also came over with champagne and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Buffett is right, Pang, are you willing to sell Google searches?" Microsoft is willing to bid a billion dollars......"
"Mr. Gates wants to buy Google? Why don't you ask my opinion? I'm still counting on retirement through Google's stock in the future! ”
Without waiting for Pang Xuelin to answer, Tang on the side? Valentine smiled and followed.
When Pang Xuelin spun off Google Search from Yahoo, he invested $50 million and got a 5 percent stake in Google.
After several years of contact, for Pang Xuelin, the God of Wealth, Tang? Valentine can be described as convincing.
Whether it is Yahoo, QQ, or Google, they basically represent the cutting-edge development direction of the Internet.
In the past two years, although many companies have tried to copy Pang Xuelin's ideas, they have basically not been able to keep up with the update speed of these companies' new products.
Pang Xuelin has played the Internet industry to life.
Because of this, although Yahoo, which will be listed on the NASDAQ tomorrow, has only one portal and a Yahoo mailbox, the American capital community is highly concerned about this first-ever Internet stock.
and Goldman Sachs have given Yahoo a high valuation.
Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gates, Google has no financing plan for the time being, and when Google wants to raise funds in the future, I can give you priority!" ”
"That's what you said! You're welcome then! ”
Gates laughed.
Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said, "This is nature. ”
Mu Qingqing, who was standing next to Pang Xuelin, was wearing an evening dress, holding a red wine glass, and looked at Pang Xuelin with a smile.
Although it is not the first time she has come to the United States with Pang Xuelin, it is not the first time that she knows that Pang Xuelin is very rich.
But seeing Pang Xuelin talking and laughing with these world-famous bigwigs, there is always an unreal feeling.
The boy I met for the first time on the train three years ago, who would have thought that in just three years, he would be able to grow to this point.
The other side.
Ren Zhengfei, Ni Guangnan, Liu Qi, Sun Yafang, and Li Yinan stood in a circle again.
They were all brought from China by Pang Xuelin, and they couldn't play with these Yankees.
Ni Guangnan looked at Pang Xuelin with some emotion and said, "I didn't expect our boss to have such a big card in front of the Americans!" ”
Ni Guangnan was a little surprised.
In the past two years, Pang Xuelin has been relatively low-key in China, spending most of his time at the Hisilicon Semiconductor headquarters in Shenzhen, and engaged in chip research and development in a down-to-earth manner.
HiSilicon has basically been investing money in the past two years, and there is basically not much revenue except for helping Transwarp design decoding chips.
Ni Guangnan once doubted whether relying on the profits of Huawei and Transwarp Technology could support the research and development of HiSilicon Semiconductor.
Now, he knew that he was worried.
Ren Zhengfei also sighed: "Mr. Pang is silent, he actually made such a big move in the United States, if he hadn't taken the initiative to tell me, I wouldn't have known that he was an investor in Yahoo!" ”
Sun Yafang said: "I heard that **** has given Yahoo an estimated market value of $5 billion, you must know that this company has only been established for less than two years, and the total number of people in the company is less than 100 people. ”
Ren Zhengfei nodded. said: "Let's do business with peace of mind, but with such a rich boss, I think we can consider increasing the speed of market expansion in Asian and Latin African countries......"
……
Pang Xuelin finally dealt with Gates, Warren Buffett and others, and then took champagne and Yang Zhiyuan, Ferro, Li Yanhong, Larry? Paige, Sergey? Brin and others toasted and congratulated.
After finally coping with tonight's guests, a man with a bald head and glasses who looked a bit like the bald professor in the X-Men walked over.
"Hello Mr. Pang, I'm Mitchell, the editor-in-chief of Fortune magazine? James, thank you so much for your hospitality tonight, and I thought, can we have a good talk? ”
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned, tonight's cold dinner was held by Benson Raphael, but he didn't expect such an uninvited guest to come.
Editor-in-chief of Fortune magazine, this identity is not simple.
Fortune is a magazine founded in 1930 by American Henry Ruth that mainly publishes research articles on economic issues.
Since 1954, when Fortune launched the Global 500 list, it has always been the focus of attention in the economic community, and its influence has been huge.
In addition, Fortune magazine has also held a series of high-profile financial forums, such as the famous Fortune Global Forum, the annual meeting of the world's top 500 companies.
Launched in 1995, the Fortune Global Forum has attracted the attention of the world's biggest dignitaries.
In 1999, the Fortune Forum was held in Shanghai, China, and was attended by Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and other bigwigs, and even among the top leaders, there was a leader.
One can imagine the influence of this magazine.
Pang Xuelin hesitated, nodded and smiled: "Okay, then let's talk on the balcony." ”
Regarding Mitchell James's visit, Pang Xuelin certainly knew the other party's purpose.
In fact, in the past two years, there have been countless media outlets that want to interview Pang Xuelin.
Needless to say, domestic media, international media, and even top media such as BBC, CNN and Time Magazine have been invited.
But they were all rejected by Pang Xuelin one by one.
On the one hand, the past two years have been the time for Pang Xuelin to engage in chip research with peace of mind, and he doesn't want HiSilicon to receive too much attention.
On the other hand, as an emerging capital predator, he doesn't want to be focused on too much flash, which is not good for his next layout in the Internet industry or for his future development.
But now, with Yahoo going public, Pang Xuelin, who owns 80 percent of Yahoo's shares, is no longer able to hide.
It's not like the real world of the twenties of the 21st century.
In the real world, with the rapid rise of China, after the overall industrial output value surpassed that of the United States, the United States began to have a resentful mentality.
Racism is on the rise in the country, and the Grand Commander is even more unreliable to the extreme.
In this era, the Cold War has just ended, and the United States is at the top of the globe, with no opponent in all directions.
Therefore, for non-white entrepreneurs, Americans are also quite confident and tolerant.
Although Pang Xuelin controls part of the Internet industry in the United States, he will not be like later generations, a Zoom company founded by Chinese Americans is affected by racial and political factors and is subject to various discrimination.
Pang Xuelin and Mitchell James came to the balcony, James smiled and said: "Mr. Pang, we want to do an interview with you in Fortune magazine, this interview will be published in our latest issue of the magazine two days before Yahoo goes public, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" ”
Pang Xuelin blinked, and Mitchell James chose a wonderful time.
Although he is quite famous in the capital circles of the United States, most of them are in small circles, and there are not many reports about him in the media.
If you take advantage of Yahoo's listing and can directly appear in Fortune magazine, then Yahoo will attract the attention of American investors.
You must know that the United States is a country where all people speculate in stocks, and many Americans invest their pensions in the stock market, hoping that the stock market can give them more security when they are old.
As a result, Yahoo went public, and Fortune magazine followed suit with the hype.
This wave of leeks should not be too beautiful to cut.
"Okay, let's make an appointment tomorrow for a chat."
Pang Xuelin smiled.
"Mr. Pang, thank you very much."
Mitchell James bowed to Pang Xuelin.
……
Manhattan, New York.
Led by Bill, a partner of Haibo Translation Agency, Ma Yun walked the streets of Manhattan.
This trip to the United States has had a huge impact on him.
Not only is it the bustling street scene of the world's largest power, but more importantly, he has seen a new business model in the United States in the past month.
In the past month, many financial media in the United States have focused on Yahoo, a company that has only been established for two years.
, Goldman Sachs and other companies have given Yahoo a valuation of more than $5 billion.
You must know that the total number of employees of this company is less than 400 so far, and the huge effect of this asset-light model has aroused great concern from financial capital.
And Yahoo's founders, Yang Zhiyuan and Fei Luo, also became famous.
The reason why Ma Yun paid attention to this company was more to consider whether she could use the Internet to make money.
It's a pity that he has no money.
Since he founded Haibo Translation Agency in 1992, Ma Yun has been looking for suitable investment opportunities in recent years.
For China, which is still in the embryonic stage of the Internet, this business model obviously has a strong replication effect.
As long as you do it well, you may be able to earn your first pot of gold soon.
It's a pity that his start-up capital is insufficient, otherwise, Ma Yun feels that she can copy Yahoo's business model.
Ma Yun sighed, withdrew his gaze from the tall building on the side, and suddenly, the corner of his eye swept over a newsstand on the street.
On the cover of a new Fortune magazine at the newsstand, a Chinese face appeared.
"It's ...... Pang Xuelin?! ”
Ma Yun looked at the young face on the cover and couldn't help but be taken aback.
There is no doubt that this young man has a high reputation among Chinese entrepreneurs, and is even the number one idol of many young people.
Not only because of his youth, but more importantly, Transwarp has almost monopolized the Chinese CVD and DVD markets in the past two years, and even began to counterattack overseas.
Ma Yun is naturally no stranger to this entrepreneurial senior.
It's just that in the past two years, Pang Xuelin has rarely appeared in the media, and Ma Yun hasn't heard of this name for a long time.
"It's strange, how did Pang Xuelin get on Fortune magazine?"
Ma Yun thought about it, took out ten beautiful knives from his pocket, handed it to the newsstand owner, and directly picked up the magazine and flipped through it.
On the cover of Fortune magazine, in addition to Pang Xuelin's avatar, there is also a string of headlines.
"The richest man in China? No, he has the potential to become the richest man in the world! ”
This title made the corners of Ma Yun's mouth tussle.
Although he admits that Pang Xuelin is very strong, he feels a bit nonsense to say that Pang Xuelin can become the richest man in the world.
Not to mention anything else, Bill Gates and his Microsoft are in an invincible stage, and there is no top rich man in the world who dares to surpass Bill Gates.
Not to mention Pang Xuelin's Transwarp Technology.
While thinking like this, Ma Yun flipped to the page of the interview.
Before the interview began, there was a preface that reads.
"In the past year or so, there has been an Internet company that has frequently appeared on the media page, including both economic media and technology media, which is Yahoo, the most innovative and popular Internet company in the United States. It is believed that for the more than 50 million Internet users in the United States, almost all of them have to deal with Yahoo from the first day of surfing the Internet. They look for the websites they are interested in through Yahoo's website navigation, search for the information they want through Google search, find friends they want to meet on the Internet through QQ, complete their daily work through Yahoo mail, and find the news they want to see through Yahoo's homepage......"
"This is Yahoo, a ubiquitous internet company. It defines how the Internet works and defines a new future. Many people thought that Yahoo was able to achieve what it is today thanks to the efforts of its two founders, Yang Zhiyuan and Fei Luo. But in reality, Yang Zhiyuan and Fei Luo only own 10 percent of Yahoo's shares, and Yahoo's 80 percent of the shares are in the hands of a young man. Today, Fortune magazine will lead you to find the mysterious rich man who really stands behind Yahoo - he is Pang Xuelin from China! ”
"For the name Pang Xuelin, many Americans may be very unfamiliar. But I'm sure many people have used his company's products, and even if they haven't, they've definitely heard of it. This is Transwarp CVD/DVD. This disc player gives us the opportunity to enjoy Hollywood blockbusters on CDs, allowing us to experience the feeling of being in a theater at home. And its price is only one-third of the LD laser disc player. Pang is one of the inventors of Transwarp CVD and the founder of Transwarp. But few people know that this 21-year-old genius boy is still a technology tycoon and capital predator hidden behind the scenes. We have reason to believe that in the next few years, Pang's existence will launch a strong challenge to Bill Gates. Below, please follow the perspective of Mitchell James, the editor-in-chief of this magazine, to explore the huge business empire of this young man. ”
