Wall Street Legend

Ye Dongqing likes to integrate various mature Internet concepts rather than specializing in a certain market. The "Global Hot News" website was conceived on this basis. Judging from the current situation, the feedback from the first batch of users Seems pretty good.

You can jump directly from the homepages of several other projects to this newly created news knowledge website, which brings a lot of traffic and attention. However, it can only attract a small number of users at present because of the There is still little content and it has just started.

I have thought about acquiring the Wikipedia website to provide users with richer Internet resources.

The problem is that as early as 2002, the founder of Wikipedia announced to the public that it would be a permanent free public welfare website. Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was not cost-effective to spend money to buy it, not to mention the founder of Wikipedia. People have no plans to sell it at all, and are preparing to cooperate in the near future to provide professional information search.

All in all, this new company has been relatively comprehensive from the beginning, and its positioning is much higher than the current online news platforms on the market. It is like a mule or a horse. It has been pulled out for a walk. There are still many small problems, which will be solved in the future. Will continue to be improved in the future.

It is difficult to give Ye Dongqing a prepared identity label.

As an entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, he is also a member of the emerging financial forces on Wall Street. He has developed across borders and fields, but he has done quite well.

Some people have long jumped out and said that the heavy debt burden will crush them. However, the fact is that they are becoming more and more successful, and the appreciation of wealth far exceeds the expansion of debt. Whether in Silicon Valley or in Manhattan, they have gained He has achieved quite good results, which is why many people study him and try to copy his successful model.

It's a pity that even if they understand it, it will be useless, because it is impossible to seize every opportunity as accurately as Ye Dongqing and select companies with growth potential in the chaos, such as Apple, which was in 2002. Being treated like a junk stock, you can make a little money, but it's not very profitable.

There was also Amazon. There were many people who were short-sellers at the time, but were later bullied into fools by the rising stock price. Many small institutions suffered heavy losses as a result.

Even if only a few people believe that he can continue to be lucky, it is enough for that hedge fund to obtain billions of dollars in investment in a very short period of time. This is the best proof of his current influence. Until now, there has been no investment. People regret the investment because the hedge fund has miraculously made money…

Compared with the first time I came to Silicon Valley, my mood was completely different.

At that time, I wanted to become one of these big companies, but now I feel that Microsoft is nothing. I can always beat Microsoft and Oracle in terms of market value in the future.

There are quite a few trees on the roadside, and their leaves turn yellow and fall off. Office buildings are hidden behind the trees. Unlike in the narrow Manhattan, many office buildings cannot see the sun all day long.

Ye Dongqing is also working on real estate projects, currently there are two.

One was the Cobra Building, which was to be constructed early next year, and the other was just a few kilometers away in front of him, near the town of Santa Clara and next to the San Francisco Bay. He bought a total of thirty-five hectares of abandoned land. The price was not high, and the construction The plans are ready, and the construction team has been contacted. It's not the Cobra Building, so as long as the funds are in place, the rest is almost easy.

With the gradual recovery of the Internet industry, the rental prices of office buildings are also slowly rising. He has no idea of ​​building a headquarters building in Silicon Valley for the time being. The most important thing now is to develop the enterprise and use the money wisely. There will be plenty of time to build slowly in the future. As for the headquarters building, it is estimated that a building complex will be needed to accommodate all the companies under his control.

As long as it provides rent subsidies, lowers the price of housing, and builds schools and other things, Apple employees will probably follow. When there is more idle funds on hand, he will join forces with Fidelity Investment Group and several other influential people. The powerful shareholders forced the board of directors to pass the resolution of issuing new shares for financing. By then, he would still be able to own more shares of the company. This plan had already stayed in his mind.

Sitting in the car smoking a cigar, listening to songs and humming tunes, with the autumn sunshine shining on your body, it is a pleasure.

I came to the office building where Facebook’s headquarters is located. Recently, after a round of recruitment expansion, more than 200 new employees have been added. The previous manpower is already overwhelmed. By next year, hundreds of Stanford interns will join the company. As for what will happen? How many can be left is hard to estimate.

The matter of allocating houses has long been spread, and recruitment has become smoother. There is an "anti-poaching agreement" among large companies in Silicon Valley. However, if employees leave voluntarily, it is not Ye Dongqing's fault.

Greeting familiar old employees along the way.

From the moment he went upstairs to now, almost everyone who saw him said hello to him. When he came to the office, he clapped his hands and said to an assistant: "Okay, first show me the recent back-end data. Your CEO What? Are you still busy over there in Europe?"

"Yes, the European Union has introduced a new rule on the user data utilization plan, which mainly involves the online data privacy of EU citizens. He went to negotiate with the officials who made the rules. There are some inappropriate provisions in the treaty. .

I'm going to help you call it out now. Is it just the background data? Our products are developing well all over the world. Only a few countries restrict entry, no matter how much negotiation is done, it is useless, and there are also areas with underdeveloped Internet..."

The new employee who just arrived spoke very nervously when he met Ye Dongqing for the first time.

Ye Dongqing knows what "several countries" mainly refers to. India has not yet approved entry, and has already asked the public relations to help deal with it. Spend money on what needs to be spent, and make changes that need to be made. Sooner or later, they will be able to enter. The other is China. This he really There is no way to change it, but the same goes for developing Tencent.

He has recently changed his mind and no longer intends to suppress Tencent's listing. The reason is that compared to the shares that shrunk during the listing, the shares held by MIH Group are obviously more attractive.

Tencent's current performance is not very good. If it goes public quickly, it may be able to induce MIH Group to sell its shares, creating the illusion that there is not much development potential. This is Ye Dongqing's little plan, and he himself doesn't know it. Whether it can succeed or not.

Without talking to those executives, after getting the information, Ye Dongqing checked the current user scale data, the data for the first half of this year and the second half of last year, and wanted to know Facebook's expansion in overseas markets and the United States. The results are gratifying. The scale is increasing month by month. I find that it is doing well in overseas markets, so I feel relieved.

I also asked for the user data of Youtube, Global Online, and WhatsApp in order to understand the development situation more intuitively. This will determine the size of the promotion tomorrow, so as not to waste money...
