Leaving Shengdi Company, Cang Yaozu let the driver drive around Silicon Valley, which is the center of science and technology in the world, where countless technology companies are founded and closed down every year.

When passing by Stanford University, Cang Yaozu took a closer look, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two good friends, should be developing a search engine, of course, the search engine they developed at this time is not called Google. Well, the domain name is now in Cang Yaozu's hands, which makes him very pleased. Wouldn't Google be successful without using this domain? Of course not, Google would still be successful. However, people who can succeed will be a little paranoid and will always make all kinds of efforts to achieve their goals.

Is it despicable to preemptively register a domain name? Those deliberate cybersquatting are quite despicable, for example, if you preemptively register a well-known trademark or brand in China, it is a very despicable act and will be prosecuted. And if Cang Yaozu did this, it wouldn't be the case, who would know that he was a preemptive registration?

Cang Yaozu just registered a lot of domain names, and there are no well-known trademarks or anything among them, just some Internet companies that are destined to rise in the future. Now that Cang Yaozu has registered more than 10,000 .com domain names, he is rich and capricious, what can you do?

The driver drove the car and continued to move forward, and Cang Yaozu began to enjoy the Golden Gate Bridge, and the scenery of the bay was good. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge, very long and beautiful, it may have been the longest suspension bridge in the world before, but now it is certainly not, Cang Yaozu knows that the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in the cherry blossom country has been built, and that bridge is longer than the Golden Gate Bridge. But the Golden Gate Bridge is still very beautiful, and Cang Yaozu still remembers the Battle of the Golden Gate Bridge in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

The northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge connects Northern California to the southern end to the San Francisco Peninsula. This kind of suspension bridge is very earthquake-resistant, whether it is San Francisco, or the cherry blossom country, the earthquake is said to come, and the Golden Gate Bridge has passed the test of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.

In the mist, the orange-red Golden Gate Bridge looms, and it is very beautiful. In recent years, it has also become a famous suicide mecca, mainly because the bridge is high and beautiful enough.

"Well, let's go to Oracle Arena and see the Golden State Warriors, and then go back, shall we?"

"Uh, boss, where is Oracle Arena? The Golden State Warriors are at the Oakland Arena, and of course the Oakland Arena is being renovated this year, so they're in San Jose this year, at the San Jose Arena. ”

"Oh, oh, I heard, I heard that Oracle is going to name the Warriors' arena, haven't they reached a cooperation yet?"

"No, it's going to be Oakland Arena now, boss, are you going to Oakland Arena or going to see the Golden State Warriors. ”

"Forget it, don't look at it, the stadium is not that stadium, and the team is not that team. "It's really not interested, things are not, and people are not.

Cang Yaozu looked at the street scene outside the window, and wondered in his heart, whether to buy the Clippers or the Warriors? The Warriors are close to Silicon Valley, and there may be no fewer companies he will invest in here in the future. The Clippers are in a big city, the ball market is good, the team is expensive, the results are bad, and they are comprehensively suppressed by the Purple and Gold giants. This is a problem, forget it, I don't have that spare money now, so let's hurry up and make money.

Defengjie has agreed to Cang Yaozu's offer for hotmail, and they have taken 20 million US dollars to settle down, with a return on investment of more than 40 times. Cang Yaozu gave 5% of each of the two founders of Hotmai at a preferential price of $2 million, spent 76 million in cash, and then invested $50 million, this time without diluting the shares of those two people, Cang Yaozu still occupies 90% of Hotmail's shares.

Hotmail's acquisition and capital injection add up to $126 million, and Cang hopes to make Hotmail the absolute hegemon in the email field through this acquisition and capital injection.

$145 million to acquire a 55% stake in Shengdie, and then injected $200 million, and now Cang Yaozu holds 72% of Shengdie's shares. Expenditures totalled $345 million.

In less than a week, Cang Yaozu spent $471 million. There is also a company in England that Cang Yaozu wants to acquire, this company is ARM in England, ARM in 1990 to 1993 can be described as miserable, estimated 30 million US dollars to the sky.

In 1993, they fell in love with Nokia, and the development of GSM mobile phones instantly made ARM prestigious, according to Melissa's survey, ARM's turnover is now around 20 million pounds, and the profit is about 2 million pounds. Now ARM has a little money and may not want to be acquired, and they have already started plans to go public in 1998. Even if it can be acquired, the price will not be less than 300 million US dollars.

In that case, the expenditure will be 771 million, which can really be described as wealth and happiness, Melissa worked hard to raise more than 1.1 billion US dollars, so Cang Yaozu spent seventy-seven eighty-eight. Cang Yaozu also left 100 million US dollars for some daily affairs, as well as patent purchases and music rights purchases. As for the funds that Cang Yaozu promised to several universities, there is no shadow yet, so he can only let those promises float for a while. Fortunately, it was said that it would be donated in installments.

When it comes to music copyright, Ge Liqin and her professional team have negotiated several rounds with several major record companies, and finally achieved the following cooperation:

1. Online audition authorization: The five major record companies allow Mountainside Branch to use the authorized songs for online audition, the first audition is free, and the second audition is paid, $0.2 each time, and the five major record companies charge 30% of the fee as the music copyright fee.

2. Mobile phone and other non-computer hardware download authorization: Authorized songs are not allowed to be downloaded to the computer through the network, but songs can be downloaded to mobile phones and other hardware audition products through the network, and Mountainside Technology should do its best to ensure that song resources will not be easily used for illegal dissemination. Each song downloaded into non-computer hardware products costs no less than $0.9, and the five major record companies charge 30% of the fee as music copyright fees.

3. Special authorization for mobile phone ringtones: Mountainside Technology is allowed to use the authorized songs for mobile phone ringtones, and the ringtone part shall not exceed one-third of the length of the song, and each song can produce multiple ringtones. The ringtone license is an exclusive license for 15 years, and Mountainside Technology pays a fee of $20,000 per song for this exclusive license. Each record label can designate 50 new songs as special licenses each year, and the designated song licensing fee is $100,000 each. The license fee for the library is $10,000 per song, and 50 songs can be designated for special authorization for every 1,000 songs, and the fee is $50,000 each. If other companies need to license songs as mobile phone ringtones, they need to negotiate the licensing fee with Mountainside Technology, and the re-licensing fee will be owned by Mountainside Technology during the authorization period, but the re-licensing song authorization deadline is the same as that of Mountainside Technology.

It's just that the three most important terms were negotiated by Ge Liqin's team for nearly a month before they were reached. The agreement will be signed in January next year, according to which Mountainside Technology will pay nearly $600 million, and there will be tens of millions of dollars a year to license new songs. Fortunately, Ge Liqin has won two discounts for Mountainside Technology, one is that the annual new song licensing fee is paid in the first quarter of the following year, and the old song library has a one-year payment grace period, after all, there are many songs in the music library, and it takes a process to deliver them. That's why the agreement won't be signed until next year. The agreement stipulates that the liquidated damages are 20 times the contract amount.

But if you pay it late, you have to pay it, and if the contract is signed, Cang Yaozu won't be able to run. At present, there are not many profitable projects in Mountainside Technology, and this cost is unaffordable, and it needs to be solved by Cang Yaozu. Well, if you have more debts, you don't have to worry about it, and you will only need to pay the expenses at the end of next year, and now there is no rush at all. It's better to keep spending money, the world is boring, and only spending money can you get pleasure.

The world, the whole world, I rubbed it, I almost missed a whole world. This world is naturally the Marvel Universe.
