In the evening local time, Su Yehao had already fallen asleep.
After signing the house purchase contract, the deposit has been handed over to the landlord in the form of a check, and the rest of the work is left to the real estate agent. The commission is more than 70,000 US dollars. You can't just be responsible for drafting a contract. There are many trivial matters.
I went to the mall temporarily and purchased some mattresses, bedding, etc., which I will send to my new house now.
The lawn needs to be mowed, home appliances need to be purchased, gas needs to be turned on, a nanny needs to be found, food ingredients need to be purchased, etc. We can’t take care of them for the time being, so you can prepare slowly.
After the master bedroom was simply cleaned up, I realized that I forgot to ask someone to come and clean it in time, so I finally found a luxury hotel next door in Palo Alto. Linda Yun was responsible for hiring a professional cleaning team and paying extra money to have it cleaned overnight.
The house is in order.
After arriving at the hotel and washing up, Su Yehao was just getting ready to go to bed when he happened to receive a call from Xiao Nizi.
On the other end of the phone, her tone was cheerful and relaxed, and she asked: "My dear brother Hao, did you miss me when you went to the United States?"
"Of course. After inspecting the company today, I bought a house near the company. The total cost is about four million US dollars. There is a horse race in the yard. I will bring you over to play with me next time." Su Yehao dozed off. It was already local time.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky outside the window was just starting to get dark.
The location of this new hotel is a bit remote, but fortunately the environment is quiet and the stay is quite comfortable.
"So...you suddenly had an idea and bought a house for four million dollars as soon as you went there? What style of house is it? Is it beautiful?" Xiao Nizi asked.
Su Yehao told her:
"The landlord is a German. It has brown exterior walls and a dark blue super-sloped roof. It has three floors in total. The interior decoration is a bit like British style, mainly made of walnut wood. Because it is a new house, it looks very beautiful and should be comfortable to live in.
It’s comfortable, has a 15-meter-long outdoor swimming pool, the garden is exquisite, and the grass is green this season.”
"Wow, I want to go find you."
Su Yehao, who suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, said hurriedly: "Didn't we just break up for a day? We haven't found a reliable CEO to help yet. I should stay in the United States for a while this time. You can wait a week or two before coming here. I live now
The hotel and house haven't been completely cleaned up yet. Besides, even if you come, I probably won't have time to play with you. I can take you to New York in a while."
"...Anything you think about others is really a lie, huh."
Nangong Tian, who was used to being coquettish, followed the topic and said, "Well, I haven't been to New York yet. I almost chose to go to New York to study. I heard that shopping is very cheap and there are often discounts."
"The discount money is not enough to cover the fuel cost of the plane."
Su Yehao continued to doze off, but after being contacted by her, he became less sleepy, so he found IBM's laptop and searched the Internet for recent news about Silicon Valley to see if there were any good projects worth launching.
While chatting with Xiao Nizi, I surfed the Internet.
As expected of Silicon Valley, the network transmission speed is much faster than at home. Although the lag is still obvious, it is acceptable. There is no harm if there is no comparison.
To be more specific, according to the real estate agent, the neighbor who lives on the left side of the new house is an IBM shareholder with a net worth of more than one billion U.S. dollars.
On the right is an investor with a high net worth. As the most expensive area in Silicon Valley, Su Yehao’s wealth is not impressive in the local area. There are also two super-rich people in the community with a net worth of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.
Those are well-known figures on the Forbes rich list around the world. They are one of the founders of HP and a major shareholder of Intel.
Staying in the one-third of an acre of land in Hong Kong City, I always have the illusion that I am almost at the end.
When I came to a place like this, I realized that each mountain is higher than the other. At least Su Yehao's net worth does not start with "b", even if the whole family adds up, it is enough.
The "billion" level, one billion US dollars, is the watershed that distinguishes the rich from the super rich. Currently, Su Yehao has not reached the threshold personally. He is often troubled by intermittent ambition syndrome at home, and he is often idle with nothing to do.
, with the purchase of a house in Silicon Valley, he is indeed ready to stay for a while and find his passion for entrepreneurial investment.
As for business in the mainland, basically you don’t have to worry too much. There are only 800,000 to 900,000 Internet users, which is less than one-sixtieth of the number in the United States. Even if they all use Tat instant messaging software, the valuation will only be enough.
With about one billion Hong Kong dollars, we need to let the bullets fly for a while, so we can’t be impatient.
While searching for information, I accidentally saw news about Uncle Qiu’s son Qiu Yaohe.
The press release was all in English. Su Yehao would look up the words from time to time. His level was only good enough for daily communication, and he was incomparable to San Francisco residents like Linda Yun. The translation roughly meant that Qiu Yaohe's company was recruiting people from all over the world.
Came to America to disrupt the online chat market.
Just look at it. It is clear that apart from about 30 million US dollars, there are no achievements yet, but it does not prevent Qiu Yaohe from bragging first.
Now that Su Yehao has made the decision to open up the international market through the revised version of TVT, he will definitely compete with each other for market share in the future, so the idea of inviting Qiu Yaohe, who also came to Silicon Valley to develop, out for a meal came to his mind.
circle, and was wiped out in the cradle in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of his father's best friend, Uncle Qiu, Su Yehao felt a little stressed.
The main reason is that he is afraid that Uncle Qiu will ask him to help his son and support Qiu Yaohe's business. Wouldn't this be equivalent to handing a knife to his competitor?
The atmosphere of the casino is full of sophistication and sophistication. The more he thought about it, the more Su Yehao thought it was possible. With the idea of preparing for a rainy day, he had decided to talk to his father when he had time to prevent his own father from getting too hot and selling him out accidentally.
.
There is a lot of news about Silicon Valley companies on the Internet. Some people are developing online music, others are trying to develop a new generation of data compression technology, and some are trying to create an online real estate rental and sales website, with a valuation of more than 100 million US dollars.
There are various projects, but there are still a few that are really valued by Su Yehao, such as Amazon, which is burning money cautiously, and Cisco, which is desperately trying to seize the 3G communication market share. The search engine business is still dominated by Yahoo, and the king of instant messaging is America Online.
, the market value has reached 40 billion U.S. dollars, far exceeding icq's valuation of 300 million U.S. dollars.
The reason why the value gap is so large is mainly because AOL has already made a lot of money and has found the right direction to make profits, while icq, which has 7 million users, is stuck in a deadlock.
Just as he was about to turn off the computer, Su Yehao was surprised to find a message saying that AOL was trying to acquire icq, and the negotiated price was around US$350 million.
It's just tabloid news, hidden under many hot news. If you search carefully, there are not many search results.
Su Yehao, who has been thinking about how to develop Tat, felt for a moment as if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened. His eyes were as wide as bells, thinking about what it would be like if he merged with ICQ and diverted users to Tat.
result.
icq can't find a profit direction, but Su Yehao has already begun planning virtual "t coins" and advertising in his personal space.
If the price is really 350 million U.S. dollars, after discussing with Japanese banks, there may be no chance of getting support. It is equivalent to recharging and upgrading, spending more than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to purchase 7 million users...
