My 1999

She took out a test sheet from her pocket and handed it over.

"look."

Xu Liang had already read a lot of the same documents, but he was still a little curious.

Take it and take a look.

Sure enough, she was pregnant.

It’s just that I don’t know the gender yet.

"Haha, not bad. Xinmei, tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Xinmei doesn't want rewards. Xinmei is willing to give birth to Xu Jun's child."

Futian's pretty face is full of tenderness and infatuated love.

Whenever a man sees a beautiful woman being so infatuated with him, he will feel a strong sense of satisfaction and pity in his heart.

Xu Liang is no exception.

"There still have to be rewards. You don't have to worry about the specifics. You will see it when the child is born."

"Um."

Fukuda Xinmei nodded vigorously.

"Xu Jun, Xinmei is pregnant. The doctor said that you need to be extra careful during the first three months of pregnancy, so I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you with Yamei."

"It doesn't matter. We'll wait until you give birth to the baby."

After some tender moments with the two girls, it was noon.

After lunch, it quickly reached three o'clock in the afternoon.

Looking at the middle-aged man coming out of the car, Xu Liang smiled and greeted him.

"Mr. Moritz, I have long admired your name."

"Mr. Xu, you're welcome."

His eyes glanced at the huge yacht in front of him.

"I'm afraid all journalists in the United States did not expect Mr. Xu to be here."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to hide here for long in front of the all-pervasive American reporters. ... Please come in."

"please."

The yacht Xu Liang rented exceeded 3,000 tons, although it was not as good as those big guys that easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars or over 10,000 tons.

But two laps around the San Francisco Bay is enough.

The interior is also spacious.

The living room alone is more than 100 square meters.

"Mr. Xu, I personally agree with your speech at the investment reception three days ago. The future era is the era of the Internet."

"Thanks."

“We at Sequoia Capital have always been committed to discovering and nurturing Internet and high-tech companies, as evidenced by Sequoia’s past investment experience.

Therefore, we share a similar investment philosophy with Hanhua Capital.

Therefore, I think we should have more cooperation on investment. "

Looking at Michael Moretz's impassioned speech, Xu Liang vaguely understood.

"Sequoia plans to enter the Chinese market?"

While surprised by the other party's keen sense of smell, Moritz didn't hide it either.

"Yes. China's Internet entrepreneurship market is the most anticipated venture capital market outside the United States. As a top institution in the field of venture capital, Sequoia does not want to miss this market with huge potential.

Hanhua is the dominant player in China’s venture capital market, and we at Sequoia Capital are the leader in the U.S. venture capital market.

We can totally work together.

With Sequoia’s rich experience and connections accumulated over the years, coupled with the reputations of Hanhua and Mr. Xu, no company can refuse us. "

Xu Liang smiled slightly, "Mr. Moritz, just yesterday, Mr. John Doerr, the founder of Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers, also said the same thing to you."

"Mr. Doerr is a very good investor. It is not surprising that he can think of cooperating with you to enter the Chinese market.

But I believe Sequoia is more suitable to work with you than Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers. "

"Why?"

“Because I brought Sequoia’s sincerity to cooperate.”

With that said, Michael Moretz handed over the document in his hand.

Xu Liang took it curiously and took a look, and was quickly attracted by the contents inside.

Seeing his performance, Michael Moretz couldn't help but laugh.

Then he spoke.

"PeopleSoft is the world's second-largest enterprise application software company and the largest provider of mid-market solutions, with more than $2.8 billion in annual revenue and 11,000 customers in 150 countries.

But in 2004, it was acquired by Oracle for $10.3 billion.

After Oracle acquired PeopleSoft, the company with 11,000 employees laid off 5,000 people within a month... "

Xu Liang looked at the information in his hand, his thoughts churning.

Although he couldn't stand Larry Ellison.

But this guy is truly a character.

Cruel and ruthless, he is good at exploiting camps.

The entire development history of Oracle is a history of mergers and acquisitions, with hundreds of companies acquired successively.

Every acquired company goes through layoffs, cleansing, integration, complete integration... and a whole process is repeated.

Although simple, it is very effective.

The same is true for PeopleSoft's acquisition this time.

"Mr. Duffield, the founder of PeopleSoft, was very dissatisfied with Oracle's ruthlessness, so after the company was sold, he regrouped the old PeopleSoft employees who had been fired by Oracle and created a company called Workday.

It is still the business with which the former PeopleSoft has the most experience: providing human resources technology solutions to enterprise customers.

In order to suppress this competitor, Oracle not only used low-price strategies to suppress the new workday in the sales market, but also continuously made rumors in the venture capital market to hinder workday's financing.

Larry Ellison even told the market: Whoever helps Workday is Oracle's enemy. "

As Michael Moritz spoke, he paid attention to Xu Liang’s expression.

After all, everyone knows that he and Ellison don't get along.

If this emotion can be stirred up, then Workday will have a greater chance of getting investment, and a union between the two parties will be more likely.

Xu Liang put down the information.

"As much as I hate Ellison, I don't care about his threats.

But how do I know this ‘Workday’ company has a future? "

“This is the due diligence information of ‘Working Day’ produced by Sequoia Capital.”

Moritz once again took out a thick piece of information and placed it in front of Xu Liang.

This information is undoubtedly much thicker than before.

Xu Liang couldn't finish watching it for a while.

"Sequoia is planning to vote for 'Red Yesterday'?"

Moritz nodded, "To show our sincerity, we can give this project to Hanhua Capital. If you want to take it all, we can also agree."

Xu Liang smiled, you can tell from this answer.

This ‘working day’ is not taken very seriously within Sequoia.

Otherwise, who would be willing to push the fat out?

No matter how important cooperation is, it is not as important as making money.

"I can't give you the answer until I read this information."

"No problem, then I will wait for the good news from Mr. Xu."

"As soon as possible."

Xu Liang personally sent Michael Moretz off the yacht, and Lu Huidao looked at the car going away.

"Mr. Xu, I always feel that this guy is uneasy and well-intentioned."

"Don't rush to conclusions yet, do some research before talking."

When he returned to the living room, he was not in a hurry to read the information. He picked up his mobile phone and called Lin Junrui.

"Mr. Xu."

“Do you know of a ‘workday’ startup that makes enterprise software?”

"Are you talking about the company just established by former PeopleSoft founder Duffield?"

"That's right."

"Mr. Xu, I know about this company."

Because the big boss is not dealing with Oracle's Larry Ellison, both Hanhua and Hongmeng will pay attention to Oracle.

Moreover, the news of Oracle's acquisition of PeopleSoft is so big that it is difficult not to pay attention.

"How about it?"

“There’s some value, but it’s not a great value.”

"continue."

“After Duffield founded Workday, he recruited many PeopleSoft employees, resulting in bloated staff and huge administrative expenses.

And because of the deliberate suppression by Oracle and Larison, it is difficult for 'Working Day' to receive big orders. "

After Workday was founded, it continued to recruit and absorb veteran PeopleSoft employees who had been laid off by Oracle.

The company's cash flow is tight, and the product has not yet achieved great success, but it has recruited a large number of idle employees, which has placed a heavy financial burden on the company.

Larry Ellison ranked ninth in the world on the "Forbes World's Richest List" released in March this year, with a net worth of US$18.4 billion!

Due to the other party's status in the world, combined with his unruly and vengeful character, many investment institutions dare not get into trouble for fear of becoming enemies with this rich man.

Of course, this is also because ‘working days’ don’t show enough value.

Otherwise it would be a different story.

Xu Liang understood. He now understood why Sequoia was willing to share this company with him.

Is it obviously a piece of cake?

Xu Liang picked up the workday adjustment left by Sequoia on the table.

Looking at Duffield's name on it, he always felt as if he had heard it somewhere.

"So you don't recommend investing?" Xu Liang continued holding his cell phone.

"Yes. Starting a business requires a lot of energy and time. Duffield is already sixty-five years old. Even if he still has certain connections and experience, it will be difficult for him to lead Workday to break out of the siege of Oracle. ”

Lin Junrui's words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting the chaos in Xu Liang's mind.

The founders of this company on Workday are all legends. After the company was maliciously acquired by Oracle, they really made a comeback.

The Workday company he founded went public in the same year as Facebook, with a market value of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and reached a market value of 60 billion U.S. dollars in the following years.

The reason why it can still fall and get up is because it has caught up with the technology wave and added a cloud computing concept to human resources software.

Of course these are not the point.

The point is that Duffield’s success has made him the largest entrepreneur in the venture capital circle.

It has also become a case where many investment institutions deceive entrepreneurs.

People start their own businesses at the age of sixty-five and go public in their seventies. You are so young, why can’t you?

Persevere, persist, and you will be the next Duffield.

Duffield is old and can still make a living. Wrong, he can still start a successful business. You are less than forty years old and you need to be more mature. …

Xu Liang heard this statement countless times when he attended cocktail parties of some venture capital institutions.

It's just that after five years of rebirth, some things have been forgotten.

Now I was suddenly awakened, and some past events came to mind again.

Xu Liang was really moved at this moment.

"You call the other party for me and say that I am very interested in working day investment."

"Mr. Xu, you..."

Xu Liang interrupted him with a smile, "I am very interested in any method of applying eye drops to Ellison, not to mention that it may not be successful on 'working days'.

Anyway, let’s meet and talk first. "

"All right."
