Su Yehao personally put John Zhou and others into the car.
Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I really am not in the mood to entertain these people, so I asked the Hi Garden Hotel to arrange a tour guide to take a few foreigners around and taste some authentic Chinese food.
Although he did not intend to compete with Microsoft and looked down upon the businesses that were divested from America Online, this incident did serve as a reminder to Su Yehao.
At this time, the general environment in Silicon Valley was in recession.
Not only does it create development opportunities for him, but it is also an opportunity for other companies.
Companies such as Yanwen Group and Google have in recent years increased revenue and cut expenditures under Su Yehao's instructions, reducing various expenditures. This approach is likely to cause other companies to catch up.
Doing business is not like financial investment. In addition to considering costs and benefits, you also need to think about how to maintain a leading market share, sufficient talent reserves, etc. There is no need to miss valuable money because you are worried that excessive losses will affect the short-term stock price.
development opportunities.
After thinking of this, Su Yehao immediately changed his mind.
Decided to appropriately increase the company's expenses and carry out a new round of talent expansion plan. As for acquisitions and financing, if you encounter a good company, you can also consider it in advance, thereby consolidating the market dominance of the Yanji Group.
The same is true for Google. Taking advantage of Yahoo's collapse, it should increase investment to seize the market. Even if all the money is spent, a new round of financing plan will be launched in advance.
As long as these companies can grow smoothly, it is still cost-effective to reduce the shares appropriately, which is much better than fussing over everything and ending up with nothing in the end.
…
Su Yehao finished cleaning up.
First, we went to Baijia Road on the top of the mountain to visit Nong Qingying and his precious son.
After lunch, we rushed to Central, took Xiao Nizi and Jiang Yu with us, and went to the Tang family's old house to play mahjong with my mother and aunt.
Mainland companies have already gone on holiday. Due to historical factors, the Hong Kong city does not pay much attention to the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, people should go to work and go to school. If it weren't for seeing some lanterns and Spring Festival couplets, I wouldn't feel the Spring Festival from other places.
Taste of many years.
The women at home play mahjong.
Mr. Tang called Su Yehao to the kitchen to turn on the stove and said to him with a smile: "Try this bowl of Shiquan Dabu Decoction. Your grandpa and I are still energetic at this age because of this soup that an old Chinese medicine doctor sold to me."
The secret recipe cost me 20,000 yuan, which is even more cost-effective than buying a shop."
"It smells like Chinese medicine, do I still need this thing?"
Su Yehao had a tough mouth. He picked up the spoon and tasted it. He found that there was no strange smell. Without saying a word, he drank the bowl of soup and motioned to the nanny for another bowl. He made an excuse to say that he was thirsty.
His grandfather continued:
"Well, the spring auction is about to start again this year. At my age, every time is less than once. I know that your stall has grown and saving money is useful, but it should be okay to buy one or two exquisite pieces as family heirlooms, right?"
"No need to beat around the bush, just tell me what do you like?"
"Shuang Kuang, the thing I'm looking at is not expensive, it's just a bronze. But the problem is that it is collected in a museum in the United States. I don't have your hands and eyes to reach there."
I heard what grandpa said.
Su Yehao felt that the bowl of Shiquan Dabu Decoction in his hand was no longer fragrant.
The reason why antique cultural relics on the market can often sell for sky-high prices is because museums are generally only accessible but not accessible, which plays a role in stabilizing the market supply and demand relationship.
If you want to purchase the exhibits directly from the museum, it cannot be said that it is completely hopeless, but the hope is indeed slim.
He wiped his mouth and asked the old man: "It's a bit troublesome to buy it directly. If you own a museum, it's almost the same as exchanging with them. What kind of bronze can make you miss it so much? The last time you admired the Panfang Lei for a long time, you still haven't had enough of it?
"
Mr. Tang nodded decisively:
"It's different this time. When I saw it in a magazine, I felt it was unusual. Have you heard of Zi Zha's bird statue? It was probably produced 2,500 years ago and was played by Qianlong during the Qing Dynasty.
A layer of wax is applied on it, so it appears black, so exquisite that it looks like a sculptured work of art. There is also a late Shang bronze goblet collected by the Fujita Museum of Art in Japan. You can try to buy these two pieces.
Come back and I promise not to bother you again in the next few years."
This matter is troublesome to say the least, but simple to say the least.
After all, the things are there, it's much easier than looking for the Imperial Seal, the Ten Famous Swords, etc.
Su Yehao said helplessly: "That's what I'm saying...Grandpa, it's an honor for you to ask me for help. How dare you mention the word trouble. I don't even know how to pronounce your name. Give me the information and I'll ask someone."
ask."
Mr. Tang suddenly lost his composure and smiled from ear to ear. He added: "As expected, my eldest grandson is still filial to me. He has loved you in vain since he was a child. Bronze sheep gong is easier. My friend said that all museums in Japan are short of money.
I can’t wait to take out the things and cash them out as soon as possible, because I can’t even pay my employees’ wages.”
"What kind of bird is that? Which museum in the United States is it in?"
"The difficulty with the Freer Museum of Art in Washington, D.C., is that it is an official museum of the United States. If you exchanged it for oil paintings by Van Gogh or Monet, I estimate that you could exchange a bunch of them. It was more than a hundred years ago.
How can a painter's works be compared with the treasures of our ancestors, don't you think? Recently, I feel that animal-shaped bronzes are particularly flavorful."
"..."
Su Yehao didn't dare to take this issue.
Many foreign museums often collect tens of thousands of domestic cultural relics. The quantity is too huge. If they are exchanged, purchased, and drained, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
In response, Su Yehao smacked his lips and said:
"I have to say, grandpa, your hobbies... are a bit expensive. I saw people playing mahjong, walking birds, practicing Tai Chi and so on. They had a great time all day long. I also know that those are good things, but I'd better go to the auction next time.
Let’s take a look. If you fall in love with the things in the British Museum or the Louvre again, there’s nothing I can do.”

The goal has been achieved, and Mr. Tang is still in a good mood. He replied: "Don't worry, you try your best, if it doesn't work, forget it. I see Miss Nangong and Miss Jiang are here, where is your son?"
"We just met in the morning. Now I seem to be shopping with Qingying's parents. She will bring the children over for dinner in the evening."
Su Yehao had nothing to do, so he asked his grandfather: "My mother and they are playing mahjong. Can I go out with you to find a place to hang out?"
"It's so cold, what is there to do?"
After thinking about it, Mr. Tang suggested: "Accompany me to sit at a friend's house? You also know his granddaughter, the eldest lady named Zhao."
"...Zhao Yimeng's grandfather?"
Think back for a moment.
Su Yehao discovered that he knew nothing about Zhao Yimeng's mother's family.
I had nothing to do. I went out in the car with the old man and drove to Repulse Bay.
The reputation of Repulse Bay is much better than that of Barker Road and Big Wave Bay in the mainland. The scenery nearby is indeed quite good. Similar to Big Wave Bay, both have excellent sea views...
