Chatted with John Zhou and Roger until past nine o'clock.
Su Yehao usually thinks about it at home, but after all, it is not as real as combining it with the actual situation.
This meal of wine is a bit expensive, but it can be regarded as a preliminary finalization of Yanmoji Group’s development strategy for the next long period of time.
Even if you don't read the McKinsey report.
Su Yehao also knows that the strategy of focusing on building a platform and providing value-added services for third-party companies is indeed suitable for the situation of Yanwen Group.
Once it is completed, with the huge user base of ICQ and TVT, Internet companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, and Yahoo, as well as physical Hollywood entertainment companies, Coca-Cola, KFC, etc., will have the opportunity to become the company's customers.
However, if you try to create your own Internet ecological chain through the emoji group, it will inevitably involve countless contradictions, which will affect its development and seem to be a bit outweighed by the gains.
After all, as long as the advertising business is done well, the market is still quite large. The global advertising market is worth hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
According to the development speed of ICQ and TVT, it is not difficult to grab a big piece of cake from them.
As for other businesses such as Google, they can develop independently.
In China, another model can be adopted...
On the way back to Atherton.
Su Yehao was sitting in a bulletproof version of the Cadillac. This car had similar configurations to the butler's. It was said that even if it was bombed, it would not affect its ability to continue running.
The space in the back seat is quite spacious. He crossed his legs and said to Yin Liuli at this moment: "I didn't expect that we have been chatting in the pub until now. Are you bored?"
"No, there are people singing all the time on the stage. It feels like listening to a concert."
Yin Liuli smiled and then said: "Although my English is not good, you must be talking about very important things. It is rare to see you frowning and thinking seriously like you did just now."
Su Yehao smiled and said: "Yes, I have figured out something very important. It may be worthless, but it may be worth hundreds of private jets."
"...That's really important."
Yin Liuli finished sighing and did not continue to ask further questions. Instead, he sighed and said:
"I feel so useless. After studying for so long, I can't even speak Cantonese well, and I have no talent for English. I didn't do well in English when I was in school. If I had known that I should have put more effort into it, I wouldn't be able to just do it now.
Be blind with your eyes open."
"Logically speaking, if you had studied English well, you might not have known me. You know the butterfly effect."
"That's right, but I still think I should learn it again."
As soon as Yin Liuli finished speaking, Su Yehao shook his head and told:
"It's not necessary. You said you have no talent. Just find a translator when necessary. Although you don't know English, your Mandarin is very good... What are you doing Jiang Zi? I won't allow you to be unhappy."
Hearing him pick up the island's accent made Yin Liuli amused. She also smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I don't usually speak like Jiang Zi. You are such a locomotive."
Su Yehao held her hand and told:
"Well, you may think that English is good, but there are also many Hong Kong people who like your soft accent, such as me. Girls in Hong Kong are careless, and a normal conversation will feel like a quarrel, but you really should
Learn more Cantonese, otherwise your life will be inconvenient."
Yin Liuli has settled in the gambling city. Previously, due to language barriers, she couldn't even make friends.
After studying for a period of time, the situation has improved a lot, and normal daily communication is no problem.
After returning home.
Yin Liuli decided to put down her work in the small building and handle some charity work for Su Yehao's family charity trust fund.
But Su Yehao's mind was not on this matter and he pulled her upstairs.
I'm jet-lagged and have no sleepiness. It's a good time to do some activities that are good for your body and mind to help you sleep.
Just walked up the stairs.
Life Secretary Linda Yun, holding a thick stack of letters, stopped Su Yehao and said:
"I was not in Silicon Valley before, so many letters were not delivered in time, and many invitations have expired. Most of the people who will send letters here are not people who are very familiar with you, but here is a spring auction of Christie's auction house, March 1
No., located in San Francisco.”
Su Yehao replied: "Is there a rare collection? If you have nothing else to do, just go and have a look."
Linda Yun opened her mouth and said:
"Well, take the auction album upstairs. If you want to participate, I will call the auction house..."
——————————————
After taking a bath and doing some activities.
Yin Liuli is using her laptop to check the gossip in the forum.
There were all English programs on TV, so I couldn't sleep, so I looked for something to kill time.
Su Yehao finally had some free time and casually browsed through Christie's spring auctions this year. Perhaps because there are many Chinese people in California and there are many wealthy Japanese who like Chinese cultural relics, there are more porcelain calligraphy and paintings this time.
Among them, the treasure of the finale is a large Qianlong Doucai vase, which is specially marked in traditional Chinese with "Qing Qianlong Doucai Large Vase with Wanfu, Qingshou and Double Chi and Dragon Ears". The starting price is 600,000 US dollars and the estimated value is 1.5 million US dollars.
Even if he has seen many old treasures, this bottle can make Su Yehao feel "fair-faced and beautiful", and he will be right in his eyes right away.
This large Qianlong Doucai vase is considered the highlight of Chinese cultural relics.
Today, in the international art market, Western oil paintings still dominate. Among the items in this auction is Van Gogh's "Under a Stormy Sky", with a starting price of US$20 million.
Judging from the previous data in the atlas.
In 1987, Van Gogh's "Fifteen Sunflowers in a Vase" was sold for US$39.7 million.
In 1988, "Luanweihua" sold for US$53.9 million.
In 1990, "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" sold for $82.5 million.
Just last year, "Self-Portrait without Beard" sold for US$71.5 million. Su Yehao remembered this painting. At that time, he saw the news in the newspaper and secretly sighed that there were so many rich people.
Whenever Van Gogh's oil paintings appear at auctions, they always attract many wealthy people to compete for them. In addition to some classic paintings that have been included in museums, Van Gogh's name is synonymous with appreciation and preservation of value. You can not only appreciate it yourself, but also
Treat it as a financial product.
This is the first time Su Yehao has heard of the painting "Under a Stormy Sky" that is about to be auctioned.
The picture looks simple, neither as famous as "Sunflower" nor as impactful as "Starry Night".
Even so, it is expected that if you look at the words "Van Gogh", it will easily fetch 40 to 50 million US dollars. The recent economic situation is relatively good.
Christie's will arrange its spring auction in San Francisco instead of New York like last year, presumably to attract the enemies of Silicon Valley.
Su Yehao stared at this Van Gogh oil painting again and again, and felt that he didn't like it very much. Besides, he didn't have much cash on hand at the moment, so he wasn't ready to make a move.
If it were "Starry Night", or "Sunflower", "Blooming Apricot Blossom", etc., even if the quote was 100 million US dollars, he would be willing to spend the money.
On the other hand, he was ready to take down the large Qianlong Doucai vase in one fell swoop.
In terms of room for appreciation alone, this bottle is bigger than Van Gogh's oil painting...
