Chapter 623

 More than two hours later.

Su Yehao felt refreshed when he went out.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu had to hold his hand on the wall when going down the stairs. He felt guilty and just said that he accidentally twisted his foot.

Linda Yun, who worked as a life secretary and assistant, laughed at this and said nothing. She knew that Jiang Yu was fooling herself into being thin-skinned, so she did not tease her and only reminded her that the sweater seemed to be worn inside out.

Jiang Yu suddenly blushed... No wonder she always felt that there was an invisible force holding her neck, and she hurried upstairs to put on her clothes again.

Harbor City in December.

The weather has been a bit cold these days, no one is going into the water at the beach, and the temperature is only about 18 degrees Celsius.

Jiang Yu wore a gray thin sweater with a white denim jacket on top, while Su Yehao wore casual pants and a sweatshirt. Wear whatever is comfortable for you. He personally drove the blue Ferrari given by his aunt and sent her to Tianyu Entertainment first.

As for Su Yehao himself, he turned a corner in Central and went straight to Sihai International Building.

In the past two years, the economic vitality of the Hong Kong city has been severely damaged, and the unemployment rate remains high. Tenants on several floors of the Sihai International Building in Central chose to quit their leases. He happened to move the KOKO Venture Capital headquarters and assistant office into it together, saving money.

Rent money.

In the future, it is planned to house all these companies in the office buildings of Kai Tak Cyberport. However, the design work has not been completed yet, and the tender will be held in ten days.

It is estimated that it will take three or four years until they are completed, so I will temporarily stay in my father's office building for a few years.

Your own building.

Su Yehao parked his car directly at the gate of the office building. The security guard smiled broadly and quickly blocked his car with a plastic cone to prevent anyone from scratching him.

After leisurely going upstairs, he first visited the headquarters of KOKO Venture Capital and asked if there were any new projects worthy of attention recently.

The Internet is still in a boom period. Although there have been many remarks about "the bull market peaking", the growth rate of Internet users is still very high, stimulating the sector to continue to rise.

As a result, funds continue to enter the market, entrepreneurs are enthusiastic, and batches of outstanding start-up companies have emerged in both the mainland and the United States.

Currently in Silicon Valley, there are more than two dozen unlisted Internet companies with a valuation of more than US$500 million. It cannot be said that they are all filled with water. It is simply a vast ocean.

Wait for someone to send you the documents.

Su Yehao was drinking coffee and browsing through it, and accidentally discovered a company called "loveline" among them. He said in surprise:

"Hey? Isn't this a project co-founded by Uncle Qiu's son Qiu Yaohe and He Shaofan's cousin He Shaolin? It's already valued at US$200 million?"

The information in front of me states that this company already has 1.7 million active users, and the number of users continues to grow.

Since Nong Qingying concentrated on developing SK2, the person in charge of KOKO Venture Capital headquarters was replaced by a middle-aged man named Mai Wenjia. He had previously worked at Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers and had extensive experience in the field of venture capital.

working experience.

now.

After listening to this, Mai Wenjia, who was sitting opposite him, craned his neck to take a look, and replied with a smile on his face:

"Yes, I heard that several wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong decided to finance it. The foundations of the Li family and the He family are both in contact with it. But I don't recommend that you also finance it, young master, because it involves social interaction.

In this area, we also plan to develop an online chat business, which overlaps with your emoji group."

Since Su Yehao became famous, many local businessmen have found him.

For example, during Google's financing a few days ago, several well-known wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong asked someone to greet him and directly expressed their willingness to get on the bus.

Su Yehao didn't stop him and gave them a portion of the shares, accounting for about 6% of the total share capital.

Part of the reason for Google's external financing is to try to find strong allies. Previously, because of the Kai Tak Cyberport, he had made friends with a group of big local businessmen in the Hong Kong city. This time it was just a matter of consolidating the relationship and deepening cooperation in terms of interests.

Yahoo's market capitalization has exceeded the US$70 billion mark.

In recent months, Yahoo has been merciless in suppressing Google. It has acquired third-party companies to optimize the accuracy of search results, adjusted its advertising strategy, and paid more attention to user experience. It has also spent a lot of money to conduct offline advertising.

Promote and expand market share.

Even on the buses in San Francisco, you can see Yahoo's advertisements, and they are very willing to spend money when recruiting talents. Headhunters have even reached out to Google founder Sergey Brin.

Of course.

Sergey Brin will definitely not agree. He and Su Yehao have a clear agreement. If he voluntarily chooses to leave the company before Google goes public, the previously promised shares will be void. The value of this part of the equity is far greater than what Yahoo offered.

The price tag is much higher.

What's more, Yahoo is not really indispensable for him. They are just using small tricks to try to break up the tacit understanding between Google's management.

A combination of punches caused Google's development to be in trouble, user growth rate declined, coupled with no improvement in revenue, the valuation at the time of external financing was only US$1.5 billion.

More than US$70 billion versus US$1.5 billion.

Su Yehao knows very well that Yahoo's business is growing. Everything is going smoothly now, but it will be very difficult when the market falls into a cold winter. Therefore, even if Google is allowed to raise funds externally now, he is not worried about cheating his carefully selected allies.

Crossing his legs, Su Yehao shook his head and said to Mai Wenjia:

"I didn't plan to raise money. It's just an online dating website. The social relationship is not strong. Users will only think of it when their hormones are strong. Moreover, the competition in this industry is not small. The reason why Loveline can develop

The main reason is that the two co-founders are willing to spend money. Things seem to be good now, but I always feel that there is no future.”

After thinking about it, Mai Wenjia smiled and said:

"Yes, the people who use Kaomoji Group's products are all friends and acquaintances, but there are only strangers on this product. It is very likely that after everyone gets to know each other through it, they will choose to use ICQ or TVT to contact the nearby ones you launched.

Human functions are very similar.”

"That's pretty much the truth. The valuations of these companies are so high right now, and it's so hard to squeeze them out. It's so difficult to pick some suitable new projects."

Su Yehao closed the folder, continued to taste the authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, and added: "Next, you can change your mind. You are only responsible for collecting information on the Internet industry, shift your attention to new areas, and pay more attention to mobile terminal equipment.

New technologies, such as LCD screens, touch screens, batteries, operating systems, etc.”

Since the business transformation, several large-scale projects have all taken shape. Coupled with the fact that the Internet has quietly entered a bottleneck, Su Yehao's business is in a period of precipitation.

Although I sold my Yahoo shares before, I was still profiting from it through leveraged options investment.

This made Su Yehao hold a huge sum of money and still have extra funds to pay a little attention to new trends, so he asked Mai Wenjia to collect some relevant information in advance.
