The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

In the last life, I uploaded Mud Horse online and almost sold the penguins for 100,000 yuan in the early days of my business. I don’t know if it’s a rumor or true.

But it is true that Yahu is going to buy Facebook now, because the other party started to contact Chen Xin after getting in touch with Zack, the founder.

To be precise, he contacted the person in charge of the overseas angel venture capital fund controlled by Chen Xin, because Facebook was favored by Yang Dongxu in the early days of its establishment and bought most of the original shares with money.

Yahu got in touch with Zack first, because Zack is the founder of Facebook, and he is in charge of Facebook's technology and company operations. Yahu obviously didn't want to buy YouTube like Google did.

After acquiring the oil pipeline, operate it by yourself, and form your own technical team to continue the in-depth development of the oil pipeline. Yahu wants to buy Facebook in a package, and treat Facebook as an independent department or a wholly-owned subsidiary of itself.

So what they want is holding shares. As for the development and specific operation, they want to hand it over to Zack, so that everyone can save trouble.

Therefore, the team at Yahu first contacted Zack, and then followed Zack to find the angel fund that invested in Facebook later.

Yang Dongxu was not surprised that Yahu valued Facebook. After all, Google has been active since last year, although Yahu terminated the search engine cooperation.

But whether it is the huge sum of money to acquire YouTube, or the subsequent listing, or even the development of Google Maps this year, Google has rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the other hand, Yahu, which is still a giant, first suffered losses from various investments, and at the same time, various mysterious operations continued, so the company's financial report last year was not good.

There is no way for anyone to spend billions or billions of dollars to acquire various companies. At the beginning, they are full of confidence to acquire, and they are ready to innovate after the acquisition and become their own competitive products.

As a result, the acquisition was completed, but in the end, various things continued during the innovation, and in the end, it was abandoned without innovation. After so many times, even if Yahu is a giant with hundreds of billions of dollars, such an operation will hurt him a bit.

So in the face of Google's pressing every step of the way, Yahu felt that this little brother was disobedient and kicked away from the beginning, and gradually felt that this little brother put a lot of pressure on him, and he had to strengthen his body so that Google to see if your uncle is still your uncle.

Such a promising Facebook was naturally taken by Yahu.

To be honest, the vision of Yahu's investment department is still very sharp, although all kinds of brain-dead operations have been carried out before. But I have to say that there is nothing wrong with the acquisition target.

Because of the acquired companies, except for a few who are really dizzy, as long as the innovation is successful, the others are fist products.

It's a pity that the operation of being able to hang new weapons on oneself was very good. In the end, you just bought the weapons back, then put them aside without loading ammunition and just looked at them, and finally just swept them into the trash can and discarded them.

"Do you want the people from the Angel Fund to talk to Zack and express Facebook's attitude of not selling it?" Chen Xin looked at the pensive Yang Dongxu and asked.

"This." Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin.

If it was before, he would have asked Chen Xin to contact the angel investor directly. There is no way Yahu wants to buy Facebook.

But now he can't help hesitating a bit. In his last life, Facebook became one of the giants of the Internet, and he knows this.

But Facebook in this life is a bit uncertain, because the external environment has undergone tremendous changes compared with the previous life.

For example, now that CC and MM have logged into the US market, under the control of big capital, they will crush MSN, which does not update and innovate.

Another example is that the cooperation between YY and Google has reached the final stage of signing. As long as the contract is signed overseas, YY will go online, and then the bundled YY Space will also go online. This is actually squeezing Facebook's market.

In addition, Yang Dongxu received the news that although Weibo was slapped in the face by 361 in China, he logged in very smoothly in South Korea.

Because the partner in South Korea is Samsung, it has attracted the attention of the Wall Street bosses behind Samsung. They feel that this is a good product, and they intend to get it and promote it to Europe and the United States.

In this way, even under Zack's management, Facebook's products are still as excellent as in the previous life, but he has not yet become popular, and his living space has been squeezed into tiny cracks.

Whether he can successfully break through again has long been as brilliant as his previous life, let alone Zack. Even Yang Dongxu had a question mark in his head.

I guess this is also the reason for the contact between Zack and Yahu. You must know that Zack is actually very assertive. Even when he accepted angel fund investment in the difficult early stage of entrepreneurship, he was very tough and very tough on the original share sale. stingy.

Therefore, it is difficult for such a person to work for others, even if one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, he is unwilling. What he wants to do is to be a king himself.

Of course, when there is no hope for the throne, it is not impossible to commit yourself to life.

For example, now, as a developer of Facebook, Zach feels more clearly than Yang Dongxu that the living space of Facebook is being squeezed infinitely.

He was extremely confident when he received angel investment funds in the early days of his business, but now he can't help being shaken, and the hope of the future is being shattered in his eyes little by little.

So he wanted to transfer his Facebook shares at a high price when Yahu felt that Google was putting him under great pressure and had to quickly find new blockbuster products.

And whether it is Yahu's acquisition of Yahu, he can continue to be the operating officer of Facebook, or be the general manager of Facebook, a subsidiary of Yahu.

Sometimes he is domineering and tough, which is an attitude that can only be shown after he has strength. Now Zack does not have such strength, he can only put away his edges and corners.

"Let's wait for Yahu's quotation." Yang Dongxu said after pondering for a moment.

The three major instant messaging softwares YY, CC, and MM are about to launch in foreign markets, and this time they also occupy a large capital behind CC and MM, obviously they will not easily admit defeat.

Coupled with the experience of being 'surprised' by YY in China and having to go overseas, this time the two are stronger and more careful.

Such a battle between the three companies will definitely be a fierce battle, and with Weibo, a spoiler beyond his expectations, there is really no room for Facebook to survive.

"Aren't you very optimistic about Facebook?" Chen Xin looked at him in surprise.

He specifically told Chen Xin to pay attention to the investment in Facebook, and all the things that Yang Dongxu has explained in these years are all projects that must be won with all his strength.

And countless successes have also proved that Yang Dongxu's vision is extremely accurate, and these projects won with all his strength are rewarded with huge profits more than robbing banks in the end.

So it was the first time Chen Xin met Yang Dongxu who wanted to sell a project he was optimistic about.

"At this time and then at this time, if things develop normally, Facebook may indeed become popular, and even if it is not as good as Google, it has the potential to become a giant.

But isn't the situation constantly changing? The current situation is very different from when it invested in Facebook. Especially Wall Street in the United States, as well as other financial groups, are gradually focusing on the Internet industry.

And there are giants who can't help but test the waters first. Fights between big bosses will bring trouble to Chiyu, and Facebook may not have time to grow up. "

"Increase the investment, and ripen it like the oil pipeline?" Chen Xin couldn't help asking.

"It's too difficult, let's not talk about how much money to spend, how to avoid the US Department of Commerce when spending money is a very troublesome thing.

Because of Google's listing. Although the angel investment company has the Kennedy family and Jack Jr. to help cover it up, but now we probably remember it in their small books.

If you were caught as a pigtail while operating Facebook, you would definitely settle the old and new scores together. So it's not worth the risk. "Yang Dongxu shook his head.

"Throw it to Google?" Chen Xin thought of another way.

Isn't it afraid that Facebook will be affected when the bosses are fighting and there will be no time to grow?

Then join the boss’s banner to find a safe haven. Google, which is held by the Kennedy family, Jack Jr., and Yang Dongxu, is definitely a big boss. It’s no problem to protect a Facebook and give him time to grow.

"That's a good idea." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded, but he didn't let go of his frowning.

Weibo was favored by Wall Street bosses, which was beyond Yang Dongxu's expectations.

Because in addition to Facebook, he also invested in Twitter. Now Facebook is squeezed by the big environment and has no time to grow. It is conceivable that Twitter was just established in March this year.

You must know that the founder of Twitter is a company founded by blogging technology pioneer Evan William Moss, so it is also an innovative product based on blogging.

In other words, if Weibo goes international, Twitter will definitely compete with Weibo, but although Twitter was established early, it has also received angel investment from Yang Dongxu. But compared with Weibo, it is not a star and a half worse now.

There is no way, Yang Dongxu's identity is too sensitive, and there is no way to spend money on Facebook or Twitter with great fanfare, otherwise he will definitely be noticed by the plutocrats in the United States, and then use the Ministry of Commerce of the United States to encircle him in various ways.

Therefore, the investment method he adopts is to diversify investment, even if he does not hold a controlling stake in promising companies, he still invests some. Then give these companies a little help, let them develop naturally and hide themselves deeper, so the development of Twitter is step by step.

However, Weibo is obviously different. It was supported by big chaebols such as Sina, Ninetowns, and Samsung. Although it was popular in China, it was poured cold water by 361.

But after logging in to South Korea, it is still soaring, and now it is favored by Wall Street bosses, as long as Xinlang and Ninetowns are willing to transfer their Weibo-related shares.

With the support of these Wall Street tycoons, Weibo must have skyrocketed after logging into the United States. This will undoubtedly have an immeasurable impact on Twitter.

"If Facebook is acquired by Google, if Twitter wants to grow, it also needs to find a backer, and if it is handed over to Google, the eggs that were originally placed in several baskets will be concentrated in one basket. Wo Duan."

Yang Dongxu scratched his head in distress. The change in the world's business structure was beyond his expectation, and he had to adjust many plans for this change.
