Chapter 176: Exciting Night and a Sudden Call From Ako0

Moritz replied: "Mr. Li, the profit model of the Yahoo project you mentioned is also the focus of the biggest differences of opinion when we at Sequoia Capital discuss the Yahoo project. Because now all the Yahoo! The services are free and there is basically no profit. The other partners in our company used to invest in traditional industries. They do not understand the Internet and are not optimistic about the free model of the Internet! "

Moritz continued: "At present, if Yahoo wants to make a profit, it may have to refer to the advertising profit model of the HotWired American hotline website. Jerry Yang and the others received the $3,000 advertising fee you paid this afternoon, which is already their This is the largest advertising revenue Yahoo has received since its establishment! After this $2 million investment is received, I will help Jerry Yang and Filo find a new general manager of the company as soon as possible and ask them to vigorously expand the advertising business as soon as possible. market……"

Moritz took a sip of coffee, looked at Li Xiaofan and said: "I feel that the flow of Yahoo's search website will be very, very huge in the future. This huge traffic itself is very valuable! In addition to the idea that advertising can be monetized, we can also observe it together And think about it, are there any other good profit models for monetizing traffic..."

"Okay, we will work together then. Finally, on behalf of Singapore Yifan and Minghua Holdings, I would like to thank Mr. Moritz and Sequoia Capital for giving us this opportunity to participate in the investment in this Yahoo project!"

Moritz smiled and said: "Mr. Li, you're welcome. In fact, from another perspective, I want to thank you!"

"How do you say this?"

Moritz said: "Just like the catfish effect, the sudden visit of the two of you and the proposal to invest in Yahoo alarmed the management of our company and accelerated the investment decision-making process within our company for this Yahoo project that I have always been optimistic about. ! So from a certain point of view, this is a good thing, especially for Yang Zhiyuan and Ferro, who are eagerly waiting for it!

Later, Moritz asked: "Mr. Li, which company do you plan to use to invest in the Yahoo project?"

“Our Singapore Yifan Pte Ltd!”

"Then have you brought the legal registration information of Singapore Yifan Pte Ltd?"

"Take it, it's in my room."

"Can you make a copy and give it to me? I will ask my assistant to draft a draft investment contract immediately tomorrow. After it is reviewed and approved by you and the Yahoo team, we will then go through our company's internal processes as soon as possible, especially our company's legal affairs. , try to sign a formal investment contract as soon as possible! You know, Yahoo is in a hurry for money now, and I know that if our money is not given to them, Jerry Yang and Filo will collapse!"

"Haha, I understand the two founders Jerry Yang and Ferro very much! I told them during dinner this evening that if they are really short of money, I can lend them some cash first... Mr. Moritz, I will ask again Wait, how many days will your internal process take?”

"If you and the Yahoo team have no objections to our investment contract plan, I estimate it will only take 2 to 3 days, because the investment amount is not very large, only 1.6 million US dollars. I will try to get it done as soon as possible within three days. This matter is finalized!”

"That's great, then I'll wait for your good news!"

"You're welcome, I'll leave first! Mr. Li, Miss Tang, I wish you a pleasant night!"

After Moritz left, Tang Xinyi and Li Xiaofan remembered that they had made an appointment to visit Tang Zixin's house tonight, and saw that it was already past ten o'clock.

When Tang Xinyi hurried downstairs with Li Xiaofan just now, she forgot to bring her mobile phone. When she returned to her room, there were more than a dozen missed calls from Tang Zixin on her phone. She quickly called her second sister Tang Zixin to apologize, but Tang Zixin scolded her again.

"Xinyi, what kind of big business are you and Afan busy with? Are you coming to San Francisco to see me, or are you here to do business?" Tang Zixin said angrily.

Tang Xinyi burst out laughing: "Haha, second sister, Affan seems to be obsessed with it recently. He wants to take out almost all his savings and plans to use 400,000 US dollars to invest in the Yahoo Internet search engine project with Sequoia Capital. In the past two days I have been busy negotiating and communicating with Sequoia Capital and the Yahoo team..."

Tang Zixin said worriedly on the phone: "Xinyi, please advise Afan to be careful. San Francisco is not a paradise, nor is there gold everywhere. There are many scammers here in Silicon Valley! Although that Yang Zhiyuan does not look like a liar, but With such a large investment, you must be careful not to be too blindly optimistic. We have seen too many cases of investment failure in recent years!

"Second sister, I understand, thank you for reminding me!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaofan came out of the shower and looked very excited.

He wiped his body and said happily: "My dear, if everything goes well, I can really let you fly on my private jet within five years!"

"Just because of this Yahoo project?" Tang Xinyi said with a smile.

"Well, yes, it's very possible!"

"I feel like it's not very reliable. Mr. Moritz just said that the three thousand dollars we gave them this afternoon was the largest advertising revenue since the establishment of their company! If this broken company wants to make a profit, then It’s the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?”

"Haha, Xinyi, you are too short-sighted! The fact that Sequoia Capital, such a powerful investment company, can take a fancy to the Yahoo project speaks for itself! We just need to quietly follow the giants, follow their footsteps, and follow the investment!"

"Okay, I hope this Yahoo company can succeed!"

"Dear, it must succeed, it must succeed!"

After that, Li Xiaofan, who was impatient, picked up Tang Xinyi and went to the bed, kissing her while taking off her skirt...

"Hate it, I haven't taken a shower yet! Why are you so anxious today?"

"Well, I really want you now!"

...

After a storm, Tang Xinyi lay shyly in Li Xiaofan's arms and said angrily: "Dear, why are you so powerful today? I feel that this bed in the hotel is about to be broken apart by us!"

Li Xiaofan laughed: "Haha, it's cool to break it apart!"

...

The next afternoon, when Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi were playing in Chinatown, Li Xiaofan received a strange local American call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li?"

"Hello, I am, who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Li, I am Mike, from the American Arco Department Store. I saw your advertisement when I was browsing the Yahoo website at noon, and I am very interested in the daily plastic products in your advertisement. Is your company in Singapore?"

"Hello, Mr. Mike, our company is in Singapore, but I am in San Francisco, USA these days."

"Oh, that's great. If you have time, can we meet and chat?"

"Mr. Mike, where is your company?"

"We are in Coppell, Kansas, do you know this place?"

"I know this place, Mr. Mike, can I know more about your Arco Department Store?"
