Fight To the Third Generation Chapter 481

The latest website: Google is in a period of expansion. As long as you do your job well, it is easy to get a promotion and a salary increase, and it is easier to do business.

From the perspective of the entire Silicon Valley environment, there has always been a talent gap. The market size has continued to expand with the addition of new netizens. Coupled with the hot money from all over the world, it has been pouring in continuously, without internal worries or external troubles.

For a Silicon Valley super rookie like Google.

Even problems can be overshadowed by prosperity and turned into trivial nuisances.

Sitting in a conference room with a group of executives, the atmosphere is harmonious and relaxed, mainly discussing the follow-up development plan, there are not many problems to be solved, and basically it can be solved by spending money.

For the time being, Su Yehao does not plan to release too many shares too early, so he would rather give more bonuses to Google employees than to follow the wishes of most people and bring Google to the Nasdaq as soon as possible.

The Yanwen Group is more valuable, and has the opportunity to raise more than one billion US dollars of funds, waiting to be used in the cold winter period after the burst of the Internet bubble.

The development time of Google is too short, and it has not been half a year since it was acquired by him.

If Google is listed now, the total market value will not exceed 200 million US dollars, and the funds that can be raised during the IPO will only be tens of millions of US dollars at most. Su Yehao can easily take out this money and sell it at a low price. Shares are clearly not in his interest.

As for the option reward, the big deal is to give more now and less when listing, Su Yehao will not feel distressed...

After the meeting.

Declining Danielle Kenning's offer to go to dinner together, Su Yehao went home to pick up Yin Liuli and drove straight to San Francisco.

The venue for the Christie's auction is the St. Francis Hotel. This historic hotel is located next to Union Square. It is already one of the landmarks in San Francisco and has hosted many famous people.

Getting out of the car on the side of the road, Su Yehao said to Yin Liuli:

"When I get what I want, I can leave early and accompany you to go shopping nearby in the evening? Or just take a night's rest in this hotel tonight, and go back to Silicon Valley after shopping tomorrow morning. There is a lot of business this time. I have to talk, if I miss it, I may not have time to show you again."

Yin Liuli's character has always been Buddhist, she said with a smile, "I can do it, you can do whatever you want. The temperature here is colder than I thought, so it's better to buy some thicker clothes."

"OK, let Linda Yun introduce you. She is a local and is more familiar than me."

Su Yehao entered the hotel, and as soon as he came to the auction site with the invitation letter, he saw many familiar Silicon Valley tycoons.

The founder of Yahoo, Yang Zhiyuan, was standing there by himself looking through the album. When he saw Su Yehao, he raised his hand with a smile and said hello, "Mr. Su is here too, with such a beautiful female companion. I know your vision. OK, when will you arrange it for me?"

"Okay, as long as your wife has no opinion, I'll arrange it for you."

Su Yehao walked up to him, introduced each other and said, "Yin Liuli, my girlfriend, comes from Hualien. This Mr. Yang Zhiyuan, one of the richest super-rich in Silicon Valley, a large part of my worth is due to him. Just earn it."

Yin Liuli smiled, reached out and shook hands with Yang Zhiyuan.

Yang Zhiyuan is married, and his wife is a Costa Rican woman of Japanese descent. Su Yehao had met her in Silicon Valley.

Say hello.

Yang Zhiyuan said to Yin Liuli: "Hualien is a good place, with beautiful scenery, especially for raising people. No wonder Miss Yin is so beautiful. Xiao Su is young and promising, you have to pay close attention to it."

Yin Liuli continued to smile, took Su Yehao's arm, and replied, "I will."

Su Yehao changed the subject at the moment and asked, "What kind of treasure did Mr. Yang like today? Communicate well in advance, so that we won't be able to compete, and the seller who sent the auction will be cheaper for nothing."

Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile:

"How dare I argue with you, those icqs are going to be listed soon, and I can't afford billions of dollars. Tonight, you are here for that Van Gogh oil painting, right? Van Gogh's works are not too few. , but most of them are kept in museums, and there is not necessarily a work that flows out every year, and the last time "Sunflower" appeared was more than ten years ago, and I couldn't buy it with money."

"Under the Stormy Sky, this Van Gogh painting looks more comfortable, but it's not my goal. The bottle of Qianlong Dou Cai is the one I'm going to give to my grandfather. The old man in the family should like it very much. "

After listening to Su Yehao finish, Yang Zhiyuan nodded and told:

"That's great, my goal is neither Van Gogh nor the bottle you fancy, my wife likes Jeff Koons' giant artwork "Balloon Dog", and is going to buy it quietly and put it in the warehouse, waiting for the memorial Give it to her sometime."

"Is this the romance of married men?"

Su Yehao joked and then added:

"What kind of balloon dog, I seem to have a little impression. It's a big, very valuable stainless steel sculpture, right? There are several colors? If there is anything else, I also want to buy one and keep it at home. It's very interesting."

I don't care if it's interesting or not, but Su Yehao remembered reading about this thing on the news and selling it for a sky-high price.

At that time, he also thought that the money of the rich is really easy to make, and stainless steel can be sold so expensively, so he was a little impressed.

Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said:

"What is romantic or not romantic, two people live together, how can your life be nourished. My wife likes rose red, if you really want to buy it, you can ask Jeff Koons, he told me that orange and blue The big dog is in his hands, this rose red one was bought by the gallery today, I had to pinch my nose to spend more money, come to the auction, and let my assistant push Jeff's number to you later.”

"Then you really have to push it to me quickly, otherwise if you buy it at a high price later, wouldn't I spend an extra sum of money."

"Mr. Su loves to joke about things that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In your Hong Kong dialect, it's a little thing that sprinkles water. I feel that someone is hyping this sculptor, and the value of the work is likely to rise. Buy it back and gamble. Interesting too."

Yang Zhiyuan obviously knew Jeff Koons, but Su Yehao knew nothing about him.

However, judging from the sky-high prices of works sold in the future, it is indeed very likely that they will be hyped and the like. According to the normal operation, it is generally to buy a large number of works of a certain artist, and then madly publicize them. value.

For example, if you spend 100,000 yuan to buy ten paintings, you spend a total of 1 million, and you sell one of them for 1 million, and the remaining nine paintings will also appreciate in value.

Of course, if you want to hype, you have to have a foundation for hype.

Jeff Koons' stainless steel oversized balloon dog sculpture undoubtedly has its own eye-catching effect, and there is indeed a basis for hype...

Before the auction started, other acquaintances from Silicon Valley came to greet Yang Zhiyuan and Su Yehao.

Many strangers, Su Yehao did not know, but most of the people in Silicon Valley knew him, including a senior vice president of Black Rock Group, and a director of the Silicon Valley investment department of SoftBank in Japan.

Seemingly thinking of something, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly asked him, "Your Google is developing rapidly, what are your plans for the future?"

As early as when he saw Yang Zhiyuan, Su Yehao guessed that he would talk about this, and calmly replied:

"The kind of small company I invested in can be noticed by you, doesn't it mean that it is going to become popular? The market is so big, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com will be even bigger in the future, even if I don't invest, there will be When others enter the search engine field, it is a normal business investment."

Yang Zhiyuan didn't care too much. He smiled and sighed and said, "Yeah, Yahoo's rate of return is no longer as good as those of small start-up companies. It's hundreds or thousands of times. It's too scary."

heard.

Su Yehao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said to him, "Isn't Yahoo's rate of return a thousand times more? When you started your business, you didn't have much start-up capital, right?"

"Well, but it's definitely not as good as you. If I want to develop, I have to find funds from the outside and release a large part of the shares cheaply. As a result, I am a little uncomfortable on the board of directors now." Yang Zhiyuan said.

Su Yehao looked around.

Lowering his voice, he said with a smile, "You can't talk nonsense like this. If someone hears it, the stock price is likely to fall..."
