Chapter 676 Find Someone Who Helps Spend Money

In recent months, a large number of technology and Internet start-up companies such as Yahoo have emerged in Silicon Valley. Many random rounds of financing have been inflated to eight-figure valuations like bubbles. Song Ya occasionally It is inevitable to feel wronged when seeing relevant news.

"Just ask, round b... even if it's round b, I'm willing to vote." He played with Yahoo's search service for a while, and finally made up his mind to tell Dilai.

"Generally, pure investors will not be able to enter the B round."

Delay is very familiar with this line now, "unless we can provide some key resources to Yahoo."

"For example?" Song Ya asked.

Di Lai shook his head, "I can't imagine that Greenwood Capital got in in the A round. You know, Greenwood Capital also invested in dts. I often exchange views with their people. Do you think we can provide even Greenwood Capital? Can't provide something to Yahoo?"

"Let people from Greenwood come to me, there are always opportunities, just tonight, I will only stay in Sunnyvale for one night. Next time you can help me meet the Chinese founder of Yahoo for a meal or something."

After leaving the American music website, he became more determined to set up a venture capital company. It was too inefficient to rely on his occasional familiarity with Mosaic browser or Yahoo search engine to find investment, even if he made up a round of HP stock In addition to paying taxes in April, he still has hundreds of millions of cash that he has not invested, and the six-point interest is almost out of reach. Now it is rumored that the Fed will start a cycle of interest rate cuts instead.

Palm, Netscape, 3dfx, Wanyan and Jimmy are responsible for tracking and managing investments, all of which are more or less unsuccessful.

Palm's Jeffrey Hawkins and others almost sold themselves to the American Robot Company, and their own shares were reduced to 5%. If you get any cooperation, you can only hold it for a long time and wait for the listing.

On Netscape's side, it's the head of the public when it comes to publicity, and the same 5% of the shares have no power.

3dfx was simply humiliated by three technology scammers.

Wanyan's situation is not good, and Jimmy Rang's application for an integrated solution patent can't stop Huaguo's new VCD machine manufacturers from springing up this year. Anyway, everyone purchases from international manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, c-cube, and Philips. Chips come back assembled. Jimmy is now in Huaguo. According to him, it is difficult to file a cross-provincial lawsuit, and even more difficult to execute it. It was Song Ya who asked Song Asheng to find the old relationship accumulated in the relocation case of Bahn Chemical Factory, which led to a joint industrial and commercial operation and destroyed a small factory with no background.

Moreover, major international players such as Philips and Samsung have also begun to produce their own vcd players.

"Linda, is there any result from the headhunting company?"

Although Jimmy has a lot of crooked ideas, his personal ability is still not good. He is less savvy than himself in the technology industry, and he is getting too busy alone. Song Ya asked Linda as soon as he arrived at the hotel.

"Yes." Linda handed him some resumes of management talents in the technology industry, all of which were collected by headhunting companies.

"This... is almost sixty? This... looks a bit like that liar from 3dfx. Could it be his father?"

Song Ya looked at a bunch of face-blinding old white men's faces and saw that no one was satisfied. This reminded him of those professional managers in Hollywood who specialize in exploiting capital. He might as well continue to use Jimmy.

"Not good." He quickly finished browsing, shaking his head.

"Some of these people have many years of management experience in traditional industries, some have been middle-level in the technology industry, and a few have qualifications in investment banks. Are you not satisfied?" Linda asked.

"This is a position that helps me spend money. I want to use someone who is very knowledgeable but not too aggressive. I can't trust these old white men." There is nothing taboo about her, and Song Ya said what she thought directly .

"Then how about looking for Chinese people? I heard from Dilai that there are a lot of Chinese people in the IT industry..." Linda suggested.

"Well, help me find another headhunting company, one that knows more about Chinese executives.

Song Ya nodded, "But don't state the request clearly, lest I be scolded." "

"I'll do it tomorrow..." Linda wrote it down.

"Wait first."

Song Ya thought about it and then changed her mind. Let's ask a few Chinese tech giants I know first. He picked up the phone, and Sun Yansheng didn't mind. The Wan Yan introduced by that guy has not yet recovered the investment, c- Cube itself sells decoding chips and makes a lot of money...

The innovative Mr. Hu is more reliable. He gave advice when 3dfx released the fake 3ddemo, but unfortunately he didn’t listen.

"It is very popular in the United States now. Competent Chinese Americans either start their own companies, or work hard in various start-up companies, and prepare to take the employee shares promised by the boss. At this time, how can they be willing to go to your company as a venture capital fund?" Managers? There are also some who are executives in major technology companies..."

Mr. Hu smiled straightforwardly: "For your position, you must not only understand the IT industry, but also have financial and legal knowledge. Think about it, everyone is rushing for such a high-end talent. Even if I know it, I will keep it for myself. Impossible to introduce to you haha..."

Song Ya made a few more phone calls, and the replies were similar, the person who helped me spend the money couldn't fucking find it? Just as he was worried, there was a knock on the door of the guest room, and Dilai came with someone from Lushan.

"So fast, Dilai, hello..." Song Ya shook hands with the two.

"I was at Yahoo's new office just now..."

The man from Lushan smiled and said, "Mr. Aplus, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Please take a seat. I want to enter Yahoo's b round, is there a chance?" Song Ya got straight to the point.

"After Mr. Delay informed me of your intention, I immediately called my company colleagues to discuss it. They have no intention of letting Yahoo accept new investors in the near future."

The other party didn't talk nonsense, "We want to observe the situation after the first wave of Internet stocks go public in autumn, unless..."

"Unless what?" Song Ya seemed to be a bit playful when he heard what he said.

"Unless you can help Netscape browser to change the default search engine to Yahoo." The conditions offered by the people from Greenwood should be the result of their discussion.

"default?"

Song Ya didn't care about such details at all, connected the laptop to the hotel's bad network, opened the Netscape browser, and the only search page link on the homepage came from Infoseek.

"Yes, Netscape is using Infoseek now." The person from Lushan said: "Netscape browser has a very high market share now, and they have a very good diversion effect on Infoseek. If they can be replaced by Yahoo..."

"I see, just wait a moment."

Song Ya immediately went into the suite and called Jim Clark.

"So you have to ask about Netscape's specific operations? Aplus, do you still remember what we agreed on before accepting your funds?"

Jim Clark was very upset when he heard Song Ya's inquiries, but he still explained, "The Internet is a very new thing, and all people and companies are trying their best to contribute to it. Netscape and some companies cooperate with each other to tackle key problems and share technologies. Infoseek is One of them, we have no reason to betray our partners."

"Nothing to talk about?" Song Ya asked.

"It's nothing to talk about, eaplus, let's learn more about the industry dynamics! Infoseek is far ahead of Yahoo in terms of visits now." Jim Clark has never pretended to him: "We are a strong alliance with us, and their only opponent in their eyes."

Song Ya put down the phone, went out with a blank face, and visited the search site on the laptop, no, no familiarity with Yahoo at all, "Sorry..."

But there is no way, I am a humble minority shareholder, I signed the alliance under the city to enter the market, so I had to temporarily dismiss the people from Lushan, "After talking with Mr. Jim Clark, I agreed that it is inconvenient for Netscape to change partners for the time being, you know Yes, the Internet is a very new thing, all people and companies are trying their best to contribute, Netscape and some companies cooperate with each other to tackle key problems and share technology, infoseek is one of them, we have no reason to betray..."

"I understand, I understand." After receiving the answer, the other party stood up with a smile and left.
