Chapter 1433: Can’t Be Immune
Ma Fengyun has been very busy recently. He is not busy with company affairs, but busy meeting with representatives of various venture capital companies.
After all, as a man who once suppressed the international giant eBay and the Internet queen Mary * Miguel in online shopping.
He is already a celebrity in the eyes of international venture capitalists. At the same time, many venture capitalists did not see the dividends of the Internet industry in China, and then rushed in without stopping.
Before coming, they also had a detailed investigation and information collection. Therefore, for these high-quality Internet companies in China, they are not blindly picking up anything and throwing it into the basket.
Instead, they have their own measurement standards and clear goals, so high-quality industries such as Taobao.com are naturally on the list. Therefore, under the stimulation of Baidu's listing, many presidents of venture capital in China took the initiative to find Ma Fengyun, which is a very normal thing.
After sending off Sequoia Capital, Softbank, a former shareholder, came over. After sending off Softbank, the president of Goldman Sachs Greater China has arrived at the door.
If there were so many international venture capitalists visiting him in person at the beginning of his business, Ma Fengyun would definitely be so happy that he would wake up with a smile. Although he is grinning happily now, there is a bit of bitterness in his smile.
Because he really doesn't have too many shares in Alibaba. He was originally surrounded by Yang Dongxu and couldn't breathe. He took out his shares and introduced Yahu Yang to contain Yang Dongxu, the big boss.
As a result, not to mention the many shares that were wasted in vain, the money raised in financing has now been spent. The mountain on his head is still a mountain. Not only did he not feel relieved because of Yahu Yang's help, but he felt even heavier.
So he really wants to introduce big capital to break through the siege. Yahu Yang is not your opponent, Yang Dongxu. This kind of international big capital can always fight with you, right?
But when he looked down at the shares in his hand, he didn't have enough chips!
International capital is not a fool. If you don't give them some weighty chips, how can they give you shares and bear the pressure of another major shareholder with you?
"Also surnamed Yang, the boss I recognized is a bit weak." After sending away the head of Goldman Sachs Greater China, Ma Fengyun began to rub his chin while sitting in his office.
Before, I had high hopes for Yang Yahu to join Alibaba. There was no way, because Yang Yahu is really awesome now.
Speaking of the pioneers of China's Internet, if Chen Da Lao claims to be one step ahead of the times, then Yang Yahu is the real pride of the times. He is awesome not only in China, but also in the world.
Amazon, Google, FAbook, and Apple are all younger brothers in front of Yang Yahu, and even Microsoft is not good enough.
This is a super Internet company that still has a market value of an astonishing $125 billion during the Internet bubble in 2000.
The early Internet rule of "pay first to use software" was also broken by Yahu. He can be said to be the first truly free website.
It was also by wielding free nuclear weapons that he became the father of everyone at that time. He directly established his own ecosystem.
As early as 1999, Yahu had more than 100 million users worldwide, more than all its competitors, and more than the total number of visits of all its competitors combined.
Then in the era when there was no instant messaging software, email was the main tool for many companies and users to communicate, and Yahu was the king in the email field.
In the field of website content, Yahu spent a lot of money to produce original content for user websites. For example, Yahu Sports directly hired many reporters to write original articles.
At the same time, a large number of video programs were produced. Yes, online videos were not the first to be created by YouTube. Yahu had done it a long time ago. The financial videos on Yahu’s website were once a must-see for Wall Street elites.
Then the idea of selling advertisements on portal websites was also the first to be created by Yahu. In addition to the information classification, native and social website advertisements on portal websites, it can be said that Yahu was the portal of the entire Internet at the time.
Yes, it was the entire Internet, not just China because it was a US company, but the Internet portal of the entire world. It was so awesome that it was simply the son of God.
Now many Internet giants, such as Sohu, Ma Fengyun, Shenzhen Teng, NetEase Lei, etc., are all little fans of Yahu Yang.
At the same time, in 1999, they spent $5.7 billion to acquire BRC, which later became the company of Mark Cuban, a headache guy in the NBA and on TV.
This guy's company was acquired by someone in 1999 and became a billionaire. The next year, in 2000, he spent nearly $300 million to buy the NBA Dallas Mavericks team, and then invested in various TV shows, and lived a very comfortable life.
And in 1999, Yahu also spent $3.56 billion to acquire GC company for transformation. Speaking of GC, many people may be unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to social networking sites, everyone is familiar with it.
This GC company is the predecessor of social networking sites. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the father of the premature death of social networking sites. It's a pity that Yahu stopped halfway through the acquisition of this company.
It didn't really set off the wave of social networking sites, otherwise Yahu would be even more awesome now, and there would be no Weibo and Facebook at all.
When Google was founded in 1998, it relied on the search business contracted by Yahu to promote itself. Yahu’s search business was suffixed with the words ‘supported by Google’.
Because he is so awesome and is his idol, Ma Fengyun feels that introducing Yahu Yang can defeat the big devil Yang Dongxu, but the result is a bit disappointing.
With the same surname of Yang, the Big Demon King seems to be more powerful than Yahu Yang in the competition on Ali's side. He always has the advantage, making Ma Fengyun's previous plan to drive away wolves and swallow tigers basically bankrupt.
In the end, the current situation of neither top nor bottom was created. He wanted to bring in big players to fight against Yang Dongxu, but found that the shares in his hands were not enough. If he continued to spread the shares, even if Yang Dongxu was driven away, Ali would not be able to make the decision. This was very difficult. My balls hurt.
At this time, like Ma Fengyun, he was thinking about whether he should take advantage of this influx of international capital, ride on the wind, and skyrocket to 90,000 miles. There are many people in the domestic Internet industry.
For example, Cheng Yunxiang of Feixun Technology CC, Qian Jincai of Parkson Technology MM, and Lin Wei, the beautiful CEO of Ninetowns Games. Ding Sanshi from Net1
In short, everyone in the entire Chinese Internet industry is a little restless, and even Yang Dongxu is having a headache how to deal with this influx of arrogant capital.
This is definitely an opportunity to take off, but although the wind is not small, who can fly to the end and fly the highest depends on their own abilities.
While domestic Internet companies were excited by the huge cake that was suddenly delivered to them, there were also times when they were uneasy.
Yang Dongxu flew directly to New York on his private plane.
The domestic Internet industry is currently very busy and he is a little bit unable to get involved. After all, none of his companies seem to need financing so far, and there are no plans to go public in the near future.
Therefore, let the excitement at home be left to its own devices, and let’s arrange things abroad first.
To be honest, this time international capital suddenly focused on the Internet industry. In addition to domestic investment, the United States also asked Yang Dongxu to take over, because he controlled too many shares in the Internet industry.
So much so that if the U.S. Bureau of Commerce determines the exact number of shares in his hand, it is very likely that he will not even act as a gangster, but will directly rob it openly.
Because at present, the top ten and even the top twenty Internet industries in Silicon Valley basically have more or less shares of him, and some of them are even the absolute controlling shareholders of more than 51%. If the truth is discovered, the American guy will Absolutely jumpy.
What's more, in addition to these, Su Mu has also invested in many small Internet companies that have potential in the future and are currently just established. For example, FABOOK is now the absolute majority shareholder.
It is said that domestic financing is difficult and domestic investors have no vision. Many large domestic companies have only found international venture capital to achieve success.
In fact, it's the same here in the United States. Do you really think that once you get a good project in hand, you won't have to worry about finding investment?
Capital is bloodthirsty and greedy. If your thing cannot bring enough benefits to capital, no matter how good it is and how beneficial it is to all mankind, do you think capital will take advantage of you?
So don’t listen to those big guys who have successfully started a business, just say a few words about hard work, and then just take off after getting a round of financing, as if success is easy.
If you don’t have enough connections and background, people who want to start from scratch don’t know how long it will take to become a grandson in exchange for the glory they will have in the future.
Therefore, everyone at home and abroad is the same. If you want others to invest in you, then you must provide a return of interest that convinces the other party. Heroes who cherish heroes are reckless, and successful people exchange benefits of equal value.
In the presidential suite of the five-star Xinghai Hotel in New York, Yang Dongxu took a shower to wash away his fatigue. Chen Xin ordered a lunch and asked the waiter to bring it to the room.
He was immersed in processing a pile of documents. Yang Dongxu, wearing a bathrobe, wiped his hair and walked from the bathroom to Chen Xin. He casually opened a document and glanced at it twice, raising his eyebrows.
"It's still too high. This won't last long."
Chen Xin raised her head and glanced at Yang Dongxu. Her face looked slightly tired, but she couldn't hide the warmth in her eyes. It seemed that as long as Yang Dongxu was around, she would feel endless happiness.
Yang Dongxu lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently. Chen Xin's eyes fell on the document he was looking at, and he looked helpless.
"We have tried our best to reduce it. The original plan was very tight. Who would have thought that the listing of Baidu would not only attract domestic Internet companies, but also the stocks of technology companies in the United States would also rise."
Chen Xin was also helpless. Baidu's popularity really caught many people off guard. Even Yang Dongxu, who had been prepared for it, was now in some trouble.
