Chapter 171 Exchange of Interests (33)

This was not the outcome Quinn wanted.

It's not the best, but if Ye Dongqing agrees to open up some technologies, he can also give an explanation to some executives of the communication operators. This is also the biggest concession that Ye Dongqing can make.

Peace talks between businessmen are nothing more than pursuing an exchange of interests that satisfies both parties. It is definitely not a good idea to offend those telecom giants. If you are not careful, Skype may be blocked.

He believes that the power of those businessmen is enough to convince users that calling through Skype will lead to serious consequences such as privacy leaks. Asking some network security experts and media to help publicize it will be enough to destroy the achievements of Skype in recent times.

Therefore, Ye Dongqing wisely chose to make concessions and use technology in exchange for space for Skype to develop. He felt that if people subconsciously accepted this new product, in the near future, when smartphones appear, the promotion will be smoother. Some, at least they have similar products themselves, so they don’t have to worry about being blocked by operators.

In fact, after Skype touched the interests of some people in its previous life, it could only be used when connected to Wi-Fi, and was often mentioned by other countries due to security risks. If we make changes now, it is likely to gain broader development space.

Fortunately, the current Skype can only be used by computers, and the popularity of wireless networks has just begun. This means that although communication operators are worried, it has not yet endangered their core interests. There are discussions. The leeway is just a small piece of cake.

Therefore, Ye Dongqing's little trick worked. Quinn promised to talk to his employers about the matter. As a professional lobbyist, even if companies like Verizon and AT\u0026amp;T make more money, they will It doesn't matter to him, Quinn just hopes to resolve this middleman business as soon as possible and then get his own reward.

Since Ye Dongqing had already given a good suggestion, he decided to try it first before talking...

After personally sending the other party to the elevator, Ye Dongqing began to weigh the pros and cons in his head. He didn't know if he could get through this minor crisis. It would be best if he could muddle through. If not, he would probably go to court.

Quinn is right when he says that if you are forced too hard, you can only take advantage of the trend and raise the price. It is better than breaking up. At this moment, he is ready to pretend to be the weak one.

It was difficult to resolve the conflict in a day or two. He needed to wait for lobbyist Quinn's reply, and by the way, he called a head of the investment department named McCord into his office.

He was about to leave for the airport soon. He didn’t have much time to talk. Ye Dongqing helped him pour tea and said, "I remember that you got a doctorate in business management from Harvard University and a doctorate from the business school. , there are not many Harvard graduates who have obtained a doctorate degree. Your degree and eight years of working experience at McKinsey Consulting Company are important reasons why I chose to hire you.

You still don’t know why I’m looking for you, right? Without further ado, I would like to know if you are interested in Ms. Vigo’s current position? "

McCord asked subconsciously: "You want to fire her?"

Executives in such positions would generally not be demoted and retained, otherwise it would be like an insult, especially being managed by their original subordinates, which would be difficult to accept, so he asked.

Ye Dongqing shook his head and said: "No, she decided to resign voluntarily and start a business with some people I don't know. In fact, she only told me about starting a business, but there was an S after "friend". I guess there are more than 100 people working with her. One, this is Ms. Vigo’s choice.”

"Ah~ Actually, she mentioned this to me, and maybe she even showed some thoughts of getting me to join her, but I don't believe in her ability. The rise of Freshwater Fund is nothing short of miraculous.

Until now, I don’t understand why you are confident that you can still make money under such a high dividend model. Considering that you have been making money, this issue can be put aside for the time being. If I accept this job, I may do it. clear. "

"You mean Vigora joined the team?" Ye Dongqing did not expect this, and continued: "Okay, now I want to fire her, I can't let me lose a CEO, and also lose a possible Talented people who can do a good job as CEO, yes, I mean you, Mr. McCord, go back and think about it, give you forty-eight hours to think about it?"

"That's enough. In fact, I want to agree now, but I'm not sure I can handle it. I'll tell you tonight, OK?" McCord asked him.

"Then let's decide happily. If you don't agree, remember to tell me and keep this conversation confidential. I think you don't want your boss to hate you in the future, right, because I chose you first..."

************

The message conveyed by Mr. Quinn on behalf of others was obvious enough. Ye Dongqing was glad that Skype and Facebook were not directly tied together at that time, otherwise it might affect Facebook's achievements in the future. Being blocked by some countries would definitely not be a problem. Good thing.

The money he has earned has increased, and he has recently begun to think about purchasing a private jet. At this time, the Boeing 737 he took was not safe enough. Even if he bought a first-class ticket, it was still not comfortable enough. Suddenly I want to purchase an A380 from Airbus. It is a bit expensive. However, you only need to pay a small deposit and the delivery time will probably be two or three years later. Now it has not started to be delivered. It has only developed a prototype. By then There must be money to pay the final payment.

Whether it is Tamsui Investment Group, Facebook or Skype, they all gave him strong confidence in making profits. As the number of Facebook users increased, his book wealth was soaring. If nothing unexpected happened, by the time it was time to pay the balance, Ye Dongqing had already become If you get richer, you may get to the point where you don't care about an Airbus A380.

Don’t worry for now. All Facebook staff in Manhattan have moved to Silicon Valley. More than 90% of employees have not chosen to resign. Recently, the number of employees has exceeded 700. The last time he went to Silicon Valley was more than a month ago. I plan to visit again, get familiar with the new employees, and summarize the work results this year.

A flight attendant recognized him and took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Unfortunately, Ye Dongqing was not her cup of tea. She gradually became a public figure, so many women took the initiative to date him, a golden bachelor who had money, hair, and could be seen when he lowered his head. His own shoes, these are the reasons for his popularity.

I finally understand why so many rich people cheat. It’s because there are too many temptations. I can resist it once, but what happens after a hundred or two hundred times? You will fall if you are not careful...
