Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 469 You teach me how to do things?

Li Weidong's words made several people who knew Chinese feel a little embarrassed, especially Yang Zhiyuan. He could have pretended not to hear it, but Li Weidong exposed it, so it would be wrong to pretend anymore.

Yang Zhiyuan had to explain quickly: "Mr. Li, TIM does not mean to accuse anyone, he just wants to express that the acquisition of Broadcast is very important and urgent!"

When Li Weidong heard Yang Zhiyuan's words, he was sure that the foreigner's last sentence must have been to scold him for being stupid. As for the specific way of scolding him, he had not figured out yet.

Now that I know the meaning, there is no reason to ask Zhang Dongshuo to translate it. Isn’t this looking for scolding?

It seems that it is quite important to understand English, otherwise you will not even know how others scold you.

Li Weidong's expression changed, and then he scratched his head. What the hell should he do? He was scolded, and it seemed he couldn't scold him back, otherwise it would appear that his quality was as low as him!

However, Li Weidong remembered this grudge. He was not a generous person, and he could not retaliate with kindness!

Of course, although I felt unhappy, I was a little displeased with this foreigner.

However, Li Weidong felt that this foreigner had a good vision and that there was indeed a place for online videos in the future Internet industry.

Even many big names who later became active in the Internet industry, including the car-making "Jia Dahu", started their careers through online videos.

However, in Li Weidong's memory, the earliest online videos appeared a few years later, when online videos began to mushroom like mushrooms after a rain.

The prerequisite for development is naturally the country's disregard for copyright. It doesn't matter who owns the copyright, as long as it can be posted on my website. If you have the ability, you can sue me!

After several years of brutal growth and chaos, a wave of eliminations and mergers finally ushered in, and several kings were finally born to carve up the online video business in the Chinese market.

Li Weidong doesn't know what year the United States started, but from what the foreigner just said, there are still key technologies that have not been overcome.

Moreover, according to Li Weidong's experience of browsing websites in the past two days, the speed of foreign networks is not very fast. It feels that it is not as fast as his own dedicated line. When opening a website with many pictures, a progress bar will appear, and the experience of watching videos is extremely poor.

And the most important thing is that expansion requires a lot of funds, and the Internet winter is coming soon. What you need to do at this time is to gain weight, not lose weight.

How to face the coming Internet winter when you take out such a large amount of money and invest in something that may not have a future for a long time.

So it is a good thing to have a vision, but it is not a good thing if the vision is too forward. Half a step ahead is just fine, but one step ahead is crazy.

Nowadays, the user experience of making online music videos is too poor, and it will most likely not last long. Yahoo in the previous life has confirmed this, and Li Weidong will not accompany it!

And in a sense, only if Yahoo dies can the Internet breed more high-quality companies, and it will also be conducive for Peking Capital to cultivate another batch of leeks.

After thinking for a while, Li Weidong asked magnanimously: "How many users does this company have?"

When Yang Zhiyuan heard that Li Weidong was not obsessed with the question of whether he was stupid or not, and was interested in Broadcast, he quickly said: "According to the latest data, Broadcast has about 10 million users!"

"Ten million? Let's not say how many zombie fans there are, 10 million users, 5.7 billion US dollars to acquire, and 570 US dollars to co-author one user. These users are really valuable!"

After hearing this, Li Weidong sighed, no wonder Yahoo's acquisition was called "one of the top ten transactions that buyers are most confused about" and ranked first.

Isn’t this a case of brain damage? Now it’s just two words to describe Yahoo!

Zhang Dongshuo translated this sentence.

TIM heard Zhang Dongshuo's translation and argued: "I think this matter should be viewed from a strategic perspective. We value his future more!"

Almost everyone now believes that Peking Capital's withdrawal was due to dissatisfaction with the company's acquisition of Broadcast, and TIM, which led the matter, is naturally under pressure.

Therefore, TIM must explain this matter clearly. If he wants to continue to serve as CEO of Yahoo, he cannot be suspected of forcing away the major shareholders.

After Peking Capital leaves, it is imperative to re-elect the board of directors. If he carries this suspicion, almost no shareholders will trust him again, and it is unknown whether he can join the board of directors.

Li Weidong waved his hand and said to the CEO: "I have read Yahoo's financial report. Isn't it a bit heavy-handed to gamble on this uncertain strategy with two years of profits?"

"Also, last year you spent 3.5 billion to acquire that virtual community GeoCities. Is this also a strategic necessity? How come there is no sign of development until now?"

"As shareholders of Yahoo, we have no direct objection to these two acquisitions. We have already expressed sufficient trust and support to the board of directors and management. Please don't talk to me about strategy. I know this better than you!"

Li Weidong is not good at talking about other things, but when it comes to strategy and understanding of the future, he has never convinced anyone!

TIM looked a little embarrassed, but he still said: "But it is undeniable that Yahoo has created huge wealth in the past five years. We helped you earn more than 200 times the US$100 million originally invested by Peking Capital!"

"Because of this, you have become the richest person who can spend the most cash. This fully shows that Yahoo's management has no problems and is trustworthy!"

He seems to be a little angry and angry, and he is no longer polite in his words. Who helps whom make money, who pays wages to whom, he can no longer put himself in the correct position.

Li Weidong became a little impatient and stood up and said: "First of all, let me correct you. The capital is not mine. The money we make belongs to each investor, so I will not be the richest person!"

He had to take himself out. If this person had a grudge against him and exposed it to him, it would be great fun.

Since Peking Capital belongs to him, others can follow the clues and find out that he is also the major shareholder of Nokia, a company with a higher market value than Yahoo.

Therefore, he has been releasing smoke bombs to the outside world, trying his best to maintain the mystery of the shareholders of Peking Capital. Of course, many people think who is the white glove.

"In addition, as you said, Yahoo has made great progress in the past five years, but all of this is based on sufficient financial support!"

"Your boss has more say than you on this point. Another trustworthy management, this is the minimum requirement, and it is not worth showing off!"

"We cannot take the trust of shareholders for granted or even act recklessly. The company does not belong to a certain professional manager, but to all shareholders!"

There is something wrong with this guy's brain. Li Weidong is a shareholder and he is doing venture capital. The purpose of investing is to make money. Now talking about trust, isn't this nonsense?

Even if he cashed out more than 20 billion, he still deserved it. He had an affair with a professional manager, but Li Weidong still wanted to get together and have a good break!

Li Weidong's words are just pointing at Yahoo's nose and scolding Yahoo for its misbehavior. He doesn't even need to point at Sang and Huai. He also has a temper!

Being able to stand on the wind is your luck, not your ability. Standing on the wind and being able to fly high is your ability.

Yahoo is standing on the edge of the wind and flying very steadily, but it is already in the stratosphere and has no room to rise. Li Weidong does not want to play with them anymore.

A person who engages in venture capital and eventually turns into equity investment is an embarrassment to the reborn people.

Li Weidong said to Yang Zhiyuan: "If you are here today just to explain the acquisition to my predecessor, then let's stop here today. I have other things to do!"

"In addition, I have always believed that Yahoo will develop very well. Even if I think this acquisition is somewhat unreasonable, it will not have any major impact on the company's development!"

"However, Peking Capital is a venture capital company, not an asset management company like BlackRock. The company's development philosophy is to pursue high returns. I hope you can understand Peking Capital's feeling that it cannot fight together with Yahoo!"

"Perhaps one day, when the company transforms and we also engage in asset management, we will definitely come back to invest in Yahoo. After all, Yahoo is a leading company in the Internet industry and a high-quality asset for long-term value investment!"

"In addition, we can issue an announcement to the outside world, indicating that leaving Yahoo is a strategic adjustment of the company and has nothing to do with Yahoo, and we will continue to be optimistic about Yahoo!"

This is similar to breaking up with a young couple and then saying: You are very good, but my mother doesn't like you, and I hope you can live a better life in the future.

Yang Zhiyuan was helpless. The host had already issued an eviction order and also given a good guy card. This time, half of the goal was achieved. There was nothing more to say.

However, there are always annoying people in this world. Tim didn't know why he was so crazy and said: "Mr. Li, it is important to pursue financial returns in this world, but starting a great company can better reflect the value of life!"

"TIM!" Before Zhang Dongshuo could translate, Yang Zhiyuan stopped him.

After Zhang Dongshuo finished translating, Li Weidong even wanted to pry open this man's head and take a look. Such a person who likes to teach should go to school to be a teacher and is not suitable to be the CEO of Yahoo!

Li Weidong really wanted to say, "You teach me how to do things?"

But I still held it back, just shook my head and smiled, and didn't argue with him. People don't talk harshly, so what's the point of saying harsh words!

Li Weidong was thinking about what achievements Yahoo had after the Internet bubble. It seemed that its investment in Alibaba was quite successful, but with Li Weidong, he had no chance!

"Mr. Li, I hope we have another chance to meet. The mainland is a magical place. I believe there must be soil for Yahoo to survive!" Yang Zhiyuan shook hands with Li Weidong and said goodbye.

"Yes!" Li Weidong smiled broadly, but only he could hear the perfunctory tone in his tone.

Although Li Weidong has no hope of occupying half of the domestic Internet, he will not be happy if others "covet" him, let alone a foreigner.

"Lao Jiang, help me see off some distinguished guests!" Li Weidong sent the three of them to the door of the office and ordered Jiang Zhili.

Delivering it to the door also shows Li Weidong's attitude. Not everyone is qualified to teach him how to do things!

Several bodyguards and secretaries in the lounge next door saw the boss coming out and walked out one after another. However, there was a big black bodyguard who was a little sluggish, as if his body had been hollowed out.

Jiang Zhili led several guests to the elevator entrance. When they got on the elevator, Jiang Zhili wanted to get up, but was persuaded by Yang Zhiyuan.

This is not the first time Yang Zhiyuan has come here, but I am afraid it is the last time. Five years ago, he came here frequently, but from now on, I am afraid there is no valid reason to enter this inconspicuous building.

Before Jiang Zhili returned to the office, he listened to Old Huang's voice in the lounge and took a few steps slowly.

"Xiao Zhou is good. He knocked down that old black guy in a few blows. He still wants to provoke us without any ability. He is so uncomfortable!" Huang Zhenyu patted Zhou Ping on the shoulder and said.

"Aren't you going to be heavy-handed?" Ding Yuan asked worriedly. They were not afraid of anything. They were mainly afraid of causing trouble for their boss.

This is not to protect the boss, it is completely a personal behavior, and it is causing trouble abroad. If it is not handled well, the boss will have to wipe the butt.

"No, I acted in a measured manner. Besides, this old man is dark-skinned and thick-skinned. It will only hurt for two days and there will be no other side effects!" Zhou Ping said nonchalantly.

"It's okay!" Ding Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but the topic changed and he said in a stern tone, "Fight in private, five hundred bonuses will be deducted!"

Zhou Ping raised his head in confusion, but immediately drooped down and lost his temper. Ding Yuan was talking about the rules. He couldn't stand the provocation, and it was indeed a violation of the rules to take action in private.

Last month, my sister who didn't recognize the boss had her deducted two hundred, and this time she deducted another five hundred. Although the monthly salary is not low, and there are subsidies for business trips, the deducted money actually comes from her own pocket.

"Old Huang, didn't you just stop him, but also started to make fun of him?" After Ding Yuan finished talking about Zhou Ping, he turned around and began to question Huang Zhenyu.

Huang Zhenyu laughed along and said: "Hey, this is not that old black man who always looks at us with provocative eyes. It is not a big deal to learn from each other and make friends with force!"

"You don't know the situation. You have a look of contempt on your face. Even if it were you, you wouldn't be able to bear it. You'd definitely want to fuck him. You still think we are some kind of sick man!"

"Even if Xiao Zhou ignores him, I still have to teach him and let him know what fighting is and what Chinese Kung Fu is!"

The more Huang Zhenyu talked, the more excited he became, and he even made gestures.

Lao Ding interrupted Huang Zhenyu's words and said angrily: "Pull it down. It doesn't matter where this place is or what the situation is. Do you allow you to mess around?"

The hot-blooded young people are easy to deal with, but they are Li Weidong's bodyguards. How can they be so impulsive? If something happens, who will protect the boss?

This is putting the boss’s safety at risk!

Jiang Zhili wisely pretended that he had not heard anything and went directly into the office. He could not and could not afford to participate in the matter of Li Weidong's bodyguard.

Entering the office, Jiang Zhili saw Li Weidong sitting on his desk, holding his right elbow with his left hand, hugging his chest, and supporting his chin with his right thumb, with his eyes closed, obviously thinking about the problem.

Jiang Zhili did not dare to disturb him and stood there respectfully. He could feel that Li Weidong had suppressed his anger several times just now because he wanted to get angry too.

I also secretly hate that people who used to look like gentlemen have completely changed since they proposed to withdraw from Yahoo! They are aggressive and forgetful!

In Jiang Zhili's memory, Li Weidong had never been subjected to such cynicism and criticism.

"Sent them all away?" Li Weidong had already opened his eyes and said with a smile.

"Send him off, Chairman, I don't know either..."

After Jiang Zhili finished his answer, he wanted to explain a few words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Weidong reached out and stopped him!

Li Weidong shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to explain!"
