Wall Street Legend

Chapter 227 Tencent (24)

Silicon Valley is currently a difficult topic for all Internet practitioners in the world to avoid.

Ye Dongqing doesn't have much pursuit of "changing the world", a mainstream idea that exists in Silicon Valley. His pursuit is still superficial, and he is used to linking everything to money and interests.

Habitual thinking is difficult to change. There may be higher pursuits in the future, but not now. His rise has been too short and he has not fully adapted yet. This mentality has also been experienced by other super-rich people, but from experience, most of them will eventually regard the wealth in their accounts as a series of simple numbers, and instead pursue things that make them feel more self-satisfied, such as helping Others, change the world that people live in.

Take Gates for example. When he was young in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was also arrogant. For example, he built a mansion that could raise whale sharks, chartered an entire island for weddings, and bought a private jet. and yachts, as well as various antiques for auction, etc. Later, he began to pay attention to charity, and together with his wife, he wanted to do something for the world.

Ye Dongqing may also pay attention to these things in the future, but definitely not now. He still wants to experience life. When he gets tired of it, he might be able to settle down. After all, he is young again. What if he doesn't have fun?

After finishing the meal, Ye Dongqing drank four glasses of wine, half full.

In the past, getting drunk to get rid of jet lag had some effect. This time, he planned to get himself half drunk and continue to get rid of jet lag when he went back. After drinking too much, he talked more. At this moment, he said: "I plan to donate something when I come back this time. I Things produced by our company, such as 10,000 computers, Apple computers, will be delivered after the next new product release, the appearance and performance will be absolutely amazing!"

District Chief Huang has never heard of the Apple brand. In this era, Apple is not doing well in the United States, let alone in China. However, he got so many computers for nothing, worth at least two to three billion. It is already very good. I have never heard of it. Others are very picky when giving gifts, so I immediately thanked them and raised my head to drink a glass of wine.

Boni Ma didn't know Ye Dongqing's drinking level, so he sat next to him and couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know whether it was true or drunken talk, so he whispered to Ye Dongqing to drink less.

"Thank you. I would like to thank you on behalf of the children in the school. There is a saying that the popularization of computers should start from childhood. The chief architect of reform and opening up said this. My youngest son is learning how to surf the Internet..."

Ye Dongqing drank some, but he was not drunk yet and knew exactly what he was doing.

In other words, thank you for 20 to 30 million US dollars. I cannot say whether it is worth it or not. If you have to worry about donations, then it is better to be like Grandet. It is already January and you will have to pay taxes again soon. Instead of spending it on yourself. If it is missing, it is better to donate it yourself. At least it will gain a good reputation, and it will also be of certain help to Tencent and Apple.

Before he came back, he had already planned to donate something, which was part of the plan. Now he waved his hand and said: "That's it for tonight. I'm a little tired. I must learn computers. The sooner the better, otherwise it will be very difficult." Almost out of date.

There are so many Internet companies in Pengcheng. Maybe it will become the second Silicon Valley in the future. I also wanted to cooperate with a company called Huawei to develop mobile phones, but I was rejected. I am optimistic about the development potential of that company, just like I value Tencent the same. As long as the support is in place, it will not be a problem to develop some giant companies based on the huge Chinese market. "

…

After returning home, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until dawn the next day.

After washing up, I drank some water and went out to find breakfast. A bowl of delicious wonton noodles made me feel much better.

I also ordered a crab roe bun and two meat buns. After eating them all, I wiped my mouth, thinking that if I lived here for a long time, most of the muscles on my body would soon turn into a pile of compost, and the taste would be absolutely terrible.

The beautiful day started with breakfast, and then we took a bus to Tencent’s old headquarters for inspection. It’s no wonder that Boni wanted to change places. The old building really had no highlights to be attached to. The stairs were filled with various small advertisements, and there were also door-to-door phone calls from beauties. , in addition to loans, recruitment, etc.

The employees were working. Bonny and a group of company executives came to greet him. Among them was Zeng Qing, who had met him in New York. After shaking hands with him, they became normal polite and sat in front of a computer. QQ, let’s try Tencent again.

The group of employees from Silicon Valley were also there, sitting not far away, each with a computer in front of them, busy writing code. Boni told: "Your group of people helped me find out who is blackmailing us. It was well hidden in other aspects, but I found a string of IP addresses in the blackmail video. It's in Pengcheng. I've contacted the police. If I'm lucky, I might be able to catch the group of people who brought down my company.

If they had a better attitude, I might want to recruit them to work for Tencent, but those people are so disgusting. They only attack our firewall for money, so I hope they go to jail. Such a large amount is enough to sue them. Fraud and extortion. "

"This is really good news. You have made Tencent very interesting. That's why you want to acquire Sohu, right? I went to their English version of the homepage and saw almost everything. There are also various news and direct login websites. ." Ye Dongqing asked, pointing to the computer screen.

"Well, the acquisition plan has been abandoned. At that time, you said that we could do it ourselves. Now we find that we can indeed do it, and it is pretty good. If we really acquired it at that time, there would be problems with the capital flow.

Tencent makes almost no money. What really makes money are these little things. A set of clothes costs twenty or thirty yuan, and a personalized homepage also costs money. You can't imagine how willing people are to pay for these things. "

The clothes were not real clothes, but virtual clothes on the chat homepage. After seeing it, Ye Dongqing began to consider whether Facebook could follow this approach, but he quickly rejected it. It would be better if the page was simpler, but it should be provided to Users have more choices, and the same things sometimes mean they get bored easily.

"There are these levels, right? I've seen in reports that users will spend money to purchase memberships in order to enjoy different services. This set may not work in the United States, but suitability is the most important. You are a new market, so let Once users form a certain habit, business will be much easier in the future. Games can be recharged, and other members can also recharge. No wonder Tencent's performance is growing so fast."

Ye Dongqing smiled and said that he had no idea about this company at first, but after seeing it in person, he already had the same idea. He thought it would be very profitable...
