?In the rumors of later generations, the two bosses of Yahoo dropped out of school to start a company and started in a garage. The two young men started from scratch, and in just three years, a small website with self-entertainment nature became the largest in the world. The Internet website, with a market value of billions of dollars, is very inspirational.

But what many people don't know is that these two 'self-made' are indeed in the garage, but this garage is larger than the average American middle-class house, and the garage belongs to a luxury villa, even in the United States. In a place where the per capita residential area of ​​the middle class is large, this villa can still be regarded as grand.

The advantages and disadvantages of a capitalist society lie in the fact that "money speaks for itself". As long as there are good projects, there is no need to worry that no one will invest. Yahoo has only been established for more than half a year, and has received an injection of 2 million US dollars, although it has been losing money since then. However, more and more top investment banks in the world have taken a fancy to this emerging Internet company.

And one of the founders of the company, Yang Zhiyuan, is not a person who treats himself and his employees harshly. After the first investment, the first thing he did was to rent this comfortable big villa.

By the pool of the villa, Yang Zhiyuan raised a glass of amber champagne, and raised a glass to Sun Dawei, who had just returned from China.

"David, thank you very much for doing everything for Yahoo, but now we don't need the money anymore." Yang Zhiyuan said.

Sun Dawei came with Liang Yifei's mission.

There are priorities. He and Liang Yifei talked very thoroughly when they were in China. After returning, the first thing they did was to find Yang Zhiyuan and talk about how the 3 million US dollars would enter Yahoo for cooperation.

Along the way, he thought about a lot of words and reasons to dispel all kinds of doubts that Yang Zhiyuan and Yahoo executives might have, but he didn't expect that Yang Zhiyuan didn't ask a word and directly denied the proposal.

"Why?" Sun Dawei asked inexplicably: "Before I left, it seemed that there were still huge loopholes in the finances. Don't we need this money?"

Hearing Sun Dawei say 'we', Yang Zhiyuan raised his brows slightly, and quickly flashed a look of displeasure and slight contempt.

Yang Zhiyuan can say 'our Yahoo'. In public, he will also say 'our Yahoo' to all employees, but in fact, it is very clear who Yahoo actually belongs to.

It belongs to him and another founder David, from Sequoia Capital, from Mr. Sun from SoftBank, and as a few real executives from Yahoo.

And Sun Dawei is just an ordinary engineer at Yahoo.

Coupled with some internal problems recently, Yang Zhiyuan is more sensitive to the positioning of 'our'.

However, this flash of expression did not make Sun Dawei aware of it. He just continued to shake the champagne in his hand and said, "David, do you know why there is champagne today?"

Sun Dawei was slightly taken aback, yes, how could there be champagne? Yahoo is a high-tech start-up company, and its leaders are very young. Therefore, alcohol is usually forbidden, and some people even come to work after drinking. However, in the United States, champagne has a unique meaning. People may drink red wine, Spirits, cocktails, but basically no one drinks champagne at ordinary times.

"Is there anything to celebrate?" Sun Dawei asked.

"Hahaha, of course." Yang Zhiyuan said, "Mr. Masayoshi Sun of SoftBank has agreed to inject 100 million US dollars into Yahoo in April in exchange for 35% of Yahoo's equity, and then fully promote Yahoo's listing and financing. Therefore, David, Don’t ask us for money now, the most important thing Yahoo lacks is money! In the days to come, the only thing we will have to worry about is how to spend this 100 million yuan properly.”

Sun Dawei never expected that Soft and Hard would be so generous this time. You must know that it has only been less than half a year since Softbank's last capital injection. At that time, Softbank only gave two million US dollars. There is such a big move.

Is this Mr. Sun Zhengyi too vicious, or too daring and too gambling? !

Of course, these are not important now. With 100 million US dollars, they took out 35% of the shares. If you think about it with your ass, you will know that Yahoo at this time will never accept a Chinese person who exchanged 3 million US dollars for stock rights. Require.

What's more, the bottom line of equity that Liang Yifei gave him is 5%. If it is calculated according to the ratio of 100 million to 35% of SoftBank, the three million US dollars is only 1%.

After several long talks with Liang Yifei, he could understand part of Liang Yifei's intentions, which is to use a small amount of capital to occupy a large amount of shares, if only 1%, when some promising companies in the United States are still on the rise. That obviously doesn't make sense.

You must know that in the Chinese mainland market, 3 million US dollars is not a small number. If this money is in China, what Liang Yifei can do will definitely be more valuable and meaningful than this 1%.

So after an instant measurement, Sun Dawei gave up the demand for shares and said, "Great, after having this money, Yahoo will definitely expand its scale next."

"Of course." Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said: "We lack everything, lack of equipment, lack of manpower, lack of venue... But after this 100 million, we are lacking nothing."

Everything is lacking, summed up in two words: lack of money.

"Can we think more about international students from China?" Sun Dawei brought the words into the topic a little bit.

"Why do you suddenly talk about Chinese students?" Yang Zhiyuan asked incomprehensibly.

This kind of thing is just like the agreement reached with Liang Yifei before, they are not sending commercial spies, and they do not want to cause any legal disputes, so Sun Dawei briefly said what he could say to Yang Zhiyuan.

In the mainland, some bosses may also want to engage in high-tech such as the Internet in the future, but the mainland lacks talents in this area, so they are willing to sponsor some international students to enter American companies for internships.

These international students come for internships, and the treatment can be slightly lower, and the mainland can subsidize them, but in the future, international students will decide on their own.

Of course, international students can also stay in the US company in the future, and only need to repay the funding they have received. Even if they return to China or move to other companies, they will keep the necessary confidentiality in accordance with the previous company's agreement.

This is also a major policy formulated by Sun Dawei for the future of the Haidian Institute. The employment plan of the Haitiiao Institute is no different from the current US market. People are free to go and stay, students can apply for loans, various agreements, etc., only However, when students apply for student loans from banks, they have become subsidized from the Haiti Institute. This subsidy includes both student aid and career aid.

In the future, even entrepreneurial.

The United States advertises the world as equal and open, but in fact, what is most lacking is what is most important. Among the developed countries in the world, the inequality in the United States is the most serious. Asian students, especially Chinese students, are treated in certain aspects. For example, bank loans are not as convenient as black people. Many Asian students can only work part-time during their schooling, and earn low wages that are more than half lower than those of the same workers, and barely maintain their living and learning.

To put it aside, this piece will cost Liang Yifei a lot of money, and it will continue to be spent, which is why he is so anxious to find some cash cows.

"I am of Chinese descent, and of course I do not exclude Chinese students. But..." Yang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and said, "However, I am no longer a CEO, but an ordinary executive and a major shareholder, so, your proposal, I There is no right to agree. If there are Chinese students who are willing to join, they can go through the normal process for assessment and employment.”

This is equivalent to nonsense. Although Yang Zhiyuan is no longer CEO, as the founder's major shareholder, he still has a great say in Yahoo. In particular, the current Yahoo has not embarked on the road of expansion, or Adopt the operating model of 'what a few people say'.

If you can't reach a tacit understanding with a high-level executive like Yang Zhiyuan who really has the right to speak, and gain an emotional inclination, Haitiao will send someone to Yahoo, which will be very difficult.

Seeing that Sun Dawei's expression was a little unhappy, Yang Zhiyuan softened his tone and said, "Dawei, you and I are both yellow-skinned and dark-eyed. From a personal point of view, although I don't like the mainland, what I don't like is its. Manager, according to our words, the mainland is an occupied area. Of course, I also don’t like the Jiang family and the US president. Internet youths are all anarchists, hehe. However, the people of the occupied areas are also the people and us compatriots, I am certainly willing to accept compatriots on fair terms.”

"Then ~lightnovelpub.net~ but what?" Sun Dawei raised his head and asked.

"You have to know that inner freedom is often subject to the constraints of reality. Without reality constraints, inner freedom is absurd and ethereal." Yang Zhiyuan said something that sounded absurd, and then said: "This is the United States, Yahoo! We need to go public in the United States. Our investors are Sequoia and Softbank. What we need to face are American shareholders and regulators. However, do you think Americans like Chinese people? The US government is willing to see too much Are Chinese in their most cutting-edge listed companies? If so, why did Eisenhower send a cruiser to intercept Qian Xuesen and other scientists returning to China?"

"That's the Cold War mentality." Sun Dawei said with a frown.

"That is the normal thinking of human beings." Yang Zhiyuan said sternly: "The United States can allow China to reform and open up, and its economy is prosperous, because the United States needs a larger market, but it will never allow China to surpass the cause that can determine the future of mankind. it."

Sun Dawei continued to frown and said, "I think you think too much."

After a pause, "In addition, you must understand that the fate of the Chinese is only in your own hands."
