Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Hello, I'm Chen Yu."

"Mr. Chen Yu, please don't introduce yourself. I think no one knows you. Because you are so rich..."

"Chamas, you have also achieved financial freedom, haven't you?"

"This cannot be compared. My so-called financial freedom is only compared with ordinary people, but compared with you, my finances are still not very free."

"Haha...Chamas, you are very interesting."

On this day, Chen Yu made an appointment with someone.

This person is none other than Charmas, the leader of the retail investors' bloodbath on Wall Street.

Chen Yu made an appointment with Chamas today and wanted to invite Chamas to join Huanyu Technology.

Among overseas businesses, Wang Chang is the general commander, but Friends.com, Huanyu Video, and Weibo are all top priorities.

It is impossible for Wang Chang to manage it alone.

It was okay at the beginning, but as the business grew, Wang Chang felt a little unable to do what he wanted.

Especially after going public, there is too much business to deal with.

In addition, Wang Chang is not an all-rounder and knows everything.

Although Friends.com, Huanyu Video, and Weibo are Internet businesses, they are completely different.

The best way is to find a professional manager.

Chamas then entered Chen Yu's eyes.

However, Chamath was not interested in Chen Yu's invitation.

"I know why you are here, but as you said, I am already financially free, so why should I work anymore?"

"As you said, compared to me, your finances are still not particularly free."

"If compared to you, there are few people in the world who are financially free."

"That's true, but aren't you interested in our Huanyu Group?"

"Why should I be interested in your Huanyu Group?"

Chamath said, not admitting it but not denying it either.

"It's very simple. 80% of the businesses you have invested in recently are related to the Internet."

"Are you investigating me?"

"Since we want to invite you to join our Huanyu Technology, we naturally have to study you."

"How's it going? Does it meet your standards?"

"I can only say it's okay."

"you……"

Charmas snorted.

He has always been an arrogant person. As early as AOL, he has always regarded himself as a genius.

He always thought other colleagues were idiots.

In the end, he left because he felt that his colleagues were too stupid and simply didn’t want to work with them.

Although he did not agree to Chen Yu's invitation, he was still complacent in his heart.

At least this shows that his talent has been noticed by the big boss of Lianyu Group.

Unexpectedly, he was arrogant, and Chen Yu was even arrogant than him.

"It seems that you are not particularly satisfied with me. If that's the case, why did you invite me?"

"It's really hard to find the right person, but you are barely okay."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in Huanyu Technology."

Before, Chamasi didn't want to reject Huanyu Technology so quickly.

After all, he still has some favorable impressions of Huanyu Technology because of the previous stock market war.

And he also made a fortune through Huanyu Technology's stocks.

But seeing Chen Yu, who was even more arrogant than him, he no longer wanted to think about it.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Chen Yu.

But he couldn't express his inner dissatisfaction.

No matter what the competition was, he could not compare to Chen Yu.

If you are comparing money, then there is no need to compare.

"You must be interested."

Although Chamasi shook his head, Chen Yu had already carefully investigated Chamasi: "Among the Internet businesses you invested in, almost all of them are related to us."

"For example, the Huanyu short video team you invested in, the mobile game company you invested in, multiple Super Pear mobile applications, etc..."

As Chen Yu spoke, he picked up the super pear and adjusted a series of businesses he had invested in.

This made Chamas a little embarrassed.

But after all, he was once a boss-level existence. Chamas quickly adjusted: "I am very interested in businesses that can make me money. Many businesses of Huanyu Technology can bring me a lot of profit returns. I Why don't you invest? If, according to Mr. Chen, I buy Microsoft stocks, I will have to go to work at Microsoft?"

"That makes sense."

Chen Yu nodded and agreed with Chamasi's statement: "Naturally, you should not go to work in whichever company you bought the stocks of. But... Chamasi, how likely are you to promote the projects you invested in?" To the world.”

"this……"

If it were someone else or an investor, Chamas would definitely brag about it.

But with this Internet god-like existence in front of her, Chamas was a little timid: "To be honest, although these businesses are good and the direction is very good, they can only make a small amount of money at most, and it is far from possible to promote it. world."

"Then what businesses do you think can be introduced to the world?"

"They are all occupied by your Huanyu Technology. I can't think of any other projects."

Spreading her hands, Chamasi felt most helpless, and also the one who admired Huanyu Technology the most.

But after saying this, Chamas regretted it.

Because he discovered that Chen Yu had completely seen through himself.

"Charmas, think about it."

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "If you can't create a product and bring it to the world, then it would be good to change your mind and lead a product to conquer the world."

…

"Mark, Facebook traffic is down again."

"Mr. Yang, the main thing is that Huanyu Group has combined the friend network Huanyu Video and their Weibo together. They support each other, which puts a lot of pressure on us."

"I don't want to hear reasons. No matter how many reasons there are, they are just excuses."

"We have prepared an updated plan, please take a look."

"Let me see."

Jerry Yang looked at Mark's latest plan, and then said expressionlessly: "You guys give it a try."

Yang Zhiyuan didn't think this plan had much chance, but there was no other good plan.

"Weibo."

After Mark left, Jerry Yang turned his attention to Weibo.

After Huanyu Technology launched Weibo, Yahoo also launched its own Weibo, Yahoo Weibo.

Relying on Yahoo's influence as the world's number one portal, Yahoo Weibo has been used by some users.

And since they invited some other celebrities to join, they did pretty well.

But this one is okay compared to other websites.

But if compared with Huanyu Technology’s Weibo, it pales into insignificance.

Especially in the past few days, Huanyu Group held a wave of activities. In just three days, they attracted 1 billion registrations.

This is simply incredible data.

This greatly touched Jerry Yang.

There seems to be little hope for Facebook to compete with Friends.

But Weibo, they want to try again.

"Since Huanyu Technology can spend 5 million US dollars, then we are 10 times as valuable as you..."

After thoroughly studying Chen Yu's previous routines on Weibo, Yang Zhiyuan made a very charming stroke of his pen.

US$50 million was spent directly.

"Mr. Chen, you convinced me."

"I know you will agree. After all, it would be quite boring if you didn't find something to do, wouldn't it?"

"Indeed."

A few days later, Chamath came to the U.S. headquarters of Huanyu Group.

He accepted Chen Yu's invitation.

As for the reason, the reason Chen Yu said was too strong.

Huanyu Technology has basically laid out a series of businesses that he believes can conquer the world.

Although he is a genius, it is almost impossible to create some such businesses.

Instead of always thinking about how to create a world-class application, it is better to come directly to Huanyu Technology.

"OK, you are welcome to join us. We are short of manpower on Weibo."

Chen Yu shook hands with Chamas: "From now on, this office will belong to you."

"CEO?"

"right."

"So fast?"

"Why, it will take some time to get used to it?"

"Well……"

Chamath shook his head quickly.

Although he was extremely shocked, Chen Yu was so efficient in doing things.

He had just arrived at the headquarters and was immediately offered the position of CEO of Weibo.

"Although it's a little fast, I can hold on."

However, Chamas is also a proud person. Although he cannot compare with Chen Yu, he does not want to be looked down upon by Chen Yu.

"In this case, Weibo is now in trouble."

"Where's Yahoo?"

"right."

Chen Yu nodded: "Yahoo has launched a $50 million campaign, which should be targeted at our previous campaigns. Chamas, how do you think we should respond?"

"They can spend more money, and we can spend more money."

After thinking about it, Chamas said directly.

Chen Yu smiled.

It seems that finding this Chamas is indeed the right thing to do.

As an Internet veteran, he immediately understood that the battle for the Internet was, to a large extent, not a battle of technology, but a battle of funds.

Throwing money is often the most important way of fighting for major Internet companies.

"So, Charmas, how much do you think we can smash?"

"$100 million."

Holding out a finger, Chamas said boldly.

Yahoo can spend 50 million US dollars, so Huanyu Group is twice as much as them.

Moreover, 100 million US dollars is more than 100 million US dollars. Although it is twice as much as 50 million US dollars, the shock level is not only twice that.

But Chen Yu shook his head: "No, it's too little."

"Too little?"

Chamath was stunned: "Mr. Chen, ours is 100 million US dollars."

"I know."

"But if you take a look at why Yahoo spent 50 million US dollars, it is clear that this is based on the 5 million US dollars we spent in our last event. So, we are also what they want. They want to spend 10 times the amount of money we have. Then, we will do it 10 times as well.”

"10 times?"

Chamas was a little shocked: "$500 million?"

"right."

Chen Yu nodded.

500 million US dollars and more than 4 billion yuan.

It should be said that this is the largest money-splitting activity in the world.

Even compared to his previous life, his strength was terrifying.

"Here, Mr. Chen, 500 million US dollars is really too much."

"I don't want your money, this is the company's money."

"Even the company's money is too much."

"A lot, not much, not much."

Things in this world that can be solved with money are not problems.

After Huanyu Group went public, Chen Yu became very comfortable with various operations.

In the past, when competing against numerous opponents, various methods and innovations had to be used.

but now……

What a stupid way to do it, just throw money at it.

As for why Chen Yu smashed so much.

One is that Huanyu Group is rich.

On the other hand, Huanyu Group is rich.

Since you have money, why not beat your opponent until there is no room for resistance.

Chen Yu wants to spend 500 million US dollars, that is, to make Yahoo completely lose the idea of ​​fighting with their Weibo.

If he wants to win, every time he mentions Huanyu Group in the future, Yahoo will have to twitch.

have to say.

Chen Yu's strategy was extremely successful.

After Huanyu Group’s Weibo announced the launch of a $500 million Weibo cash-scraping campaign, the world was shocked.

Yes, this shock is not just within the Internet industry, but also the entire world.

500 million US dollars, what kind of concept is this?

How many public companies have a market capitalization of less than $500 million?

But Huanyu Group is so arrogant, and it directly sold US$500 million.

certainly.

If you say that US$500 million is some kind of acquisition or some kind of equity investment, that's fine.

But instead of acquiring it or investing in it, they gave everyone 500 million to share.

To put it bluntly, that is throwing money away.

Can you think of what this level of arrogance is?

"Oh my God, $500 million, how much does that cost?"

"I don't know, but I'll never make this much money in my life."

"I'm convinced. I'm totally convinced."

The previous $5 million scratch was already crazy.

Unexpectedly, it has now become US$500 million.

"I'm thinking that this score scraping will create a few millionaires."

"Hahaha, it's possible. Look at their rules. They're all random. If a millionaire really comes out, that would be really awesome."

"I just want to know what Weibo is and how to use it. Damn it, I can't stand it."

You may not like $1 million.

You're still being reserved with $5 million.

So, what about $500 million?

Let me ask, who can resist such temptation?

Not only the general public can't stand it, but even a group of industry elites can't stand it.

"Well, doesn't Yahoo seem to have some activities too?"

"Have it?"

"Yes, yes, there was a $50 million activity that was revealed before."

"Oh, this garbage, just die."

"Haha, will Jerry Yang vomit blood right now? Yahoo is so awesome that it thinks it is 10 times as powerful as Huanyu Technology, but I didn't expect that this is the so-called real 10 times."

If there were no US$500 million from Huanyu Technology, US$50 million would indeed be exciting.

But once Huanyu Technology’s US$500 million comes out, US$50 million can only make a sound.

In fact, I don’t even know if I can hear a sound.

At this time, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang stayed in the office in a daze.

When he received US$500 million from Huanyu Group, Jerry Yang was really stupid.

He really didn't expect that Huanyu Group would spend 500 million US dollars.

Although it seems that you can just treat the $500 million as advertising.

But the amount of 500 million US dollars is really too big.

It was so big that even Yang Zhiyuan, who was used to big winds and waves, was shocked by Chen Yu's generosity.

"Mr. Chen, 500 million US dollars is such a big deal."

Yang Zhiyuan called Chen Yu.

He and Chen Yu are both Chinese, and he has met Chen Yu several times.

But they are competitors after all. The relationship between the two cannot be said to be bad, but it is definitely not good.

"Mr. Yang, it's only 500 million US dollars. To you, it's nothing."

After receiving a call from Yang Zhiyuan, Chen Yu said jokingly.

"How can we compare with Huanyu Group? Your market value is the largest in the world."

"The market value is just fictitious and does not have much reference value."

"I'm not being modest, but this $500 million really scares me."

"Why, Mr. Yang, you won't follow?"

"What if I say we follow?"

"Then we will spend another 5 billion."

"Dollar?"

"certainly."

"you sure?"

"How about you try to follow me?"

Chen Yu said firmly.

After a while, the person on the other side sighed: "Mr. Chen, you win, we won't follow."

We won't follow. This sentence made Chen Yu extremely comfortable.

he knows.

It’s not that Yahoo can’t come up with $500 million, it’s just that Jerry Yang doesn’t have the guts to come up with $500 million.

After all, Weibo is not Yahoo's main business. Their main business is the portal website.

If it is placed on the portal, they may be able to follow.

But in other businesses, they can only shrink their strategies and compete with Huanyu Technology in a defensive posture.

But Yahoo is no longer the Yahoo it used to be.

In the search engine business, Yahoo lags behind Google.

In the video business, Yahoo lags behind Universal Video.

In the portal business, Yahoo is gradually being overtaken by AOL.

The mailbox business is Yahoo's number one business and it is still extremely advantageous.

But the mailbox business is already a sunset business, and it no longer has much strategic significance.

And let’s look at the others.

In the area of ​​instant messaging, Yahoo is completely marginalized.

In e-commerce, Yahoo has been in a mess.

Yahoo rarely gets involved in gaming.

If you really want to say it, some of the businesses that Yahoo can handle have become less and less.

In the future, if nothing unexpected happens.

Yahoo may not even have much value in their portal business anymore.

This is why Yahoo later sold itself for billions of dollars.

You know, Yahoo back then was a super giant with a market value of nearly US$200 billion.

Time is also fate.

Many people in later generations analyzed why Yahoo failed.

He used to be so awesome.

He could have become the father of Google and the son of Microsoft, but he sold his products at a low price like his grandson, and finally became an abandoned son of the Internet.

Some say Yahoo doesn't position itself well enough.

Some people say that Yahoo failed to seize the opportunity in the mobile Internet era.

Others say it’s because of Yahoo’s large organizational problems.

If you really want to say it, no one can tell clearly.

Even Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo, couldn't tell clearly.

This may be a philosophical question.

However, Chen Yu would not consider this philosophical issue.

But Chen Yu doesn't consider it, others will.

"Mr. Yang, Director Ferro submitted an application for a temporary board meeting."

“What’s a board meeting for?”

"Director Ferro didn't say anything clearly."

"Then refuse."

"But Mr. Yang, according to regulations, Ferro's shareholding ratio exceeds 10%, and we have no right to refuse."

"This guy."

Jerry Yang has some headaches.

Although this Ferro is a director of Yahoo, he has always been dictating Yahoo.

But after all, he was helpless about the proportion of shares held by the capital represented by Ferro.
