MTL - Wall Street Legend-Chapter 368 daily
Chapter 368 Daily life
Ye Dongqing likes to integrate various mature Internet concepts, rather than specializing in a certain market. The "Global Hot News" website was conceived on this basis. Judging from the current situation, the feedback from the first batch of users Seems to be fine.
You can jump directly from the homepages of several other projects to this newly established news and knowledge website, which brings a lot of traffic and attention, but it can only attract a small number of users at present, because the inside The content is still small, and it has just started.
Thought about acquiring Wikipedia to provide users with richer Internet resources.
The problem is, as early as 2002, the founder of Wikipedia announced to the public that it would be a permanent free public welfare website. People don't intend to sell it at all, and are preparing to cooperate in the near future to provide professional information search.
All in all, this new company has covered more comprehensively from the very beginning, and its positioning is much higher than the current online news platforms on the market. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it has been pulled out for a walk. It will be continuously improved in the future.
It is difficult to give Ye Dongqing a prepared identity label.
As an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, he is also a member of the emerging financial forces on Wall Street. He has developed across borders and fields, but he has done quite well.
Someone has long jumped out and said that the heavy debt burden will crush him, but the fact is that he is becoming more and more successful, and the value of wealth far exceeds the scale of debt expansion. He has made quite a good achievement, which is why many people study him and try to copy the successful model.
It's a pity that even if they understand it, it's useless, because it's impossible to seize every opportunity as accurately as Ye Dongqing, and select companies with growth potential in disorder, such as Apple, which has been Treated as junk stocks, the kind that can make a little money, but not very profitable.
In addition, there is Amazon. At that time, many people shorted it, and later they were tortured into stupid dogs by the rising stock price. There are many small institutions that suffered heavy losses.
Even if only a few people believe that he can continue to be lucky, it is enough for that hedge fund to get billions of dollars in investment funds in a very short period of time. This is the best proof of his current influence. Man regrets this investment because hedge funds have miraculously made money…
Compared with the first time I came to Silicon Valley, my mood is very different.
At that time, I thought about becoming a member of these big companies, but now I feel that Microsoft is nothing. In the future, I can always kill it and Oracle in terms of market value.
There are a lot of trees on the side of the road, and the leaves turn yellow and then fall off. The office buildings are hidden behind the trees. Unlike the small and small Manhattan, many office buildings cannot see the sun all day long.
Ye Dongqing is also working on real estate projects, currently there are two.
One is the Cobra Building, which is going to start construction early next year, and the other is just a few kilometers in front of him, near the town of Santa Clara, next to the San Francisco Bay. They bought a total of 35 hectares of abandoned land, and the price is not high. Construction There are ready-made pictures, and the construction team has also contacted. It is not the Cobra Building. As long as the funds are in place, there is almost no difficulty in other tasks.
With the gradual recovery of the Internet industry, the rental price of office buildings is also slowly rising. He has no idea of building a headquarters building in Silicon Valley for the time being. The most important thing now is to develop enterprises and use the money wisely. In the future, there will be plenty of time to build slowly. For the headquarters building, it is estimated that a complex of buildings will be needed to accommodate all the companies under his control.
As long as rent subsidies are given, housing prices are lowered, and schools are set up, most of Apple's employees will follow. When there are more idle funds on hand, he will join forces with Fidelity Investment Group and several other influential people. Powerful shareholders are forcing the board of directors to pass the resolution of allocating new shares for financing. At that time, he can still own more shares of this company. This plan has been stuck in his mind.
Sitting in the car smoking a cigar, listening to songs and humming a little song, the autumn sun shining on the body, that is a pleasure.
Came to the office building where Facebook headquarters is located. Recently, after a round of enrollment expansion, more than 200 new employees have been added. The previous manpower is already overwhelmed. There will be hundreds of Stanford interns joining the company next year. As for what? How many can be left behind is hard to estimate.
The news about the house distribution has already spread, and the recruitment has also become smooth because of this. There is an "anti-poaching agreement" among the big companies in Silicon Valley, but Ye Dongqing is not to blame for the employees who voluntarily leave the company.
Say hello to familiar old employees along the way.
From going upstairs to now, almost everyone who saw him was saying hello to him. When they came to the office, they clapped their hands and said to an assistant: "Okay, first show me the latest background data, your CEO What? Are you still busy in Europe?"
"Yes, the EU has introduced a new rule on the user data utilization plan, which mainly involves the online data privacy of EU citizens. He went to negotiate with the officials who made the rules. There are some inappropriate provisions in the treaty .
I’ll call it out for you now, is there only background data? Our products are developing well all over the world, only a few countries restrict access, no matter how you negotiate, it is useless, and there are areas with underdeveloped Internet..."
The new employee who just arrived, met Ye Dongqing for the first time, and his tone was very nervous.
Ye Dongqing knows what the "several countries" mainly refer to. India has not yet approved its entry, and has already asked the public relations to help deal with it. The money that needs to be spent, the amendments that need to be modified, will be able to enter sooner or later. The other is China. There is no way to change it, but the same is true for the development of Tencent.
He recently changed his mind and no longer intends to suppress Tencent’s listing. The reason is that the shares owned by MIH Group are obviously more attractive than the shares that have shrunk at the time of listing.
At present, Tencent's performance is not very good. If it goes public soon, it may be able to lure MIH Group to transfer its shares, creating the illusion that there is not much development potential. This is Ye Dongqing's little trick, and he himself does not know Can it be successful.
Let’s not talk to those executives. After the information is brought, Ye Dongqing checks the current user scale data. Together with the data from the first half of this year and the second half of last year, he wants to know about Facebook’s expansion in overseas markets and the United States. The results are gratifying, and the scale is increasing month by month. I feel relieved when I find that the overseas market is doing pretty well.
I went to ask for Youtube, Global Online, and whatsapp user data in order to understand the development situation more intuitively, which will determine the size of the promotion tomorrow, so as not to waste money...
