Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 192 Harmful to others (23)

   "There is still no idea of ​​financing right now, and Facebook's liquidity is enough to last for a while."

Although he is Chinese, he has eaten a lot of Chinese food, but Ye Dongqing seldom participates in this "drinking table culture". In the past, his uncle often went to eat, but they often would not take him with him. The whole family went out to eat, but the memory of that period is already very blurred. With the death of their parents, the contact between the parents was also severed.

It is unclear whether Yang Zhiyuan already knew it or read the relevant information temporarily, so he nodded at this moment and said: "Well, loans are a good way to develop, which requires a lot of confidence, and more entrepreneurs want to attract investment. Just like I did when I raised money, I started to regret it after the business started, and felt that I had lost money on the shares.

I heard that a bank has lent you hundreds of millions of dollars, plus the money earned by the company itself from selling advertisements. If you don’t buy other companies, it will probably last five years. It won’t be too late to refinance when the shares are worth more. Search engines are different. Users have too many memories and friends in your product. After using it for a period of time, they will not easily switch to other platforms. Didn’t my new rival Google recently develop a product similar to Facebook? product? "

   "Yeah, I also sued my company. I remember reading it somewhere. At that time, the two founders of Google wanted to sell the program to Yahoo?"

"Just one million dollars, the people under me thought it was useless, and they didn't even tell me. If I knew that such a competitor would be cultivated, I would definitely buy it even if the price was one billion dollars at that time, and I would lose a lot. So much so that I dare not think about it, and it’s useless to regret it.”

  The waiter was serving the food. Hearing this, he looked at Yang Zhiyuan and Ye Dongqing, and subconsciously thought they were bragging. He thought that the bragging had already started before the wine was drunk.

After eating a mouthful of cold cucumber, Jerry Yang clinked glasses with him. He didn't feel the aroma of the wine, but Ye Dongqing only felt that it was spicy, the kind that went from throat to stomach. He put down the cup and ate the vegetables quickly, saying : "I also hope that you bought it at the beginning, so that you don't come here to harm me now. Google is quite a good company. It allows businessmen to buy advertisements through keywords and make a lot of money.

But it’s just a search engine, not as comprehensive as Yahoo’s portal website, but they only focus on advertising, so they can concentrate resources on development. With Yahoo’s current resources, it’s not impossible to beat Google. I think we can cooperate , directly develop Yahoo search page on Facebook social page, and you also promote my Facebook, which is good for both of us, and it is better than giving advertising resources to Google. "

"...This is a good suggestion. You can take the time to talk carefully about how to cooperate. Everyone helps each other, and don't talk about who takes advantage of the other. If you can achieve cooperation and bundle user resources, the effect of one plus one will definitely be greater than two." Yang Zhiyuan Raise your glass again.

The reason why I specifically said who takes advantage of who is mainly because the scale of Facebook is now far behind Yahoo. Whether it is the number of users or market value, it seems that Ye Dongqing is the more cost-effective side, but Yahoo has nothing to lose. This is why Jerry Yang nodded in agreement. The advertising market is a big piece of cake, so there is no need to worry about being taken away too much. Compared with FB, Google is the real enemy of Yahoo.

   "Well, let's talk about it after a while, you should think about it first."

  Ye Dongqing's real psychological age is actually about the same as Yang Zhiyuan. Before jumping off the building, Yahoo had been sold for more than 4 billion US dollars. Now the scale is stronger than Google, and it has already started overseas business.

Helping FB is one thing, and I haven't forgotten about getting revenge on Google. After drinking a glass of wine, Ye Dongqing said sideways, "I'm telling you the truth, Brother Yang, don't mind. Although Yahoo's business is so extensive now, there is no Google is highly competitive. When users talk about Google, they search for information, and Yahoo's business is too complicated. It is better to focus on expanding overseas markets first.

  Winning the United States is only one-third of the success. The international market is more important, and the page layout needs to be changed more. A company with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars can't afford to hire a few programmers? I’ve been using it all the time, and it looks a bit messy. Besides the content, user favorability is also very important. The news can be completely separated and a subsidiary company that provides professional news services can be established. Few people like to search for something. , interfered by other messages? "

   Yang Zhiyuan was peeling peanuts. He didn't hold a lot of alcohol. After drinking a glass of wine, his face was completely red. He thought it was just a young man who liked to show off his feelings, but it seemed feasible to divest part of his business.

If the time is pushed forward two years, he will definitely just ignore it. However, with the rise of Google recently, Yang Zhiyuan, the CEO of Yahoo, has already felt the pressure. In the minds of merchants, it has weakened its competitiveness, and instead of making money, Yahoo has allowed other websites to make a lot of money.

If you want to say who knows Yahoo best, it must be him. Many new businesses have just started, and it is not too troublesome to divest and integrate them. He opened his mouth and replied: "This suggestion is good. I will have a meeting with people tomorrow to talk about it. Now, I can hardly figure out how to manage the company next, and some things I want to do are restricted by the board of directors.”

"Enterprise atmosphere is also very important. Recruit more young people to help come up with ideas. One out of a hundred ideas must be suitable. Google is developing so fast, so there is a reason for it. Yahoo is more famous now. It's absolutely ok. Develop a small voting tool, ask users what they like, what they don’t like, and what needs to be improved. I think that if Yahoo wants to go further, simplification is the key point, and the main business must be placed in the first place...”

Just to avenge a small revenge, Ye Dongqing actually came all the way to Silicon Valley, invited Google's opponents to dinner, and helped to give development suggestions on the sidelines. Anyway, he didn't plan to invest in Google, and he was bored. Call one seriously.

It is not clear whether Yang Zhiyuan will listen, anyway, what should be said has been said almost, as for the acquisition of advertising channels, investment in social platforms and so on, these involve Ye Dongqing's own interests, so he deliberately avoided it and did not fully trust it. out.

   Take Youtube and Android away, if Yahoo can also cooperate, he is sure that Google can't turn around, and it will definitely not reach the scale of the previous life. He is definitely a formidable opponent. Even Ye Dongqing's cake was bitten by someone, so it's strange if he didn't blow up his hair. This time, it was Google who attacked him first.

  After sitting on the plane for so long today, he is not in good condition. After drinking too much liquor, he is already walking a little floaty. When he got into the car, he had a smile on his lips. He hopes that Yahoo can live up to it...
