For two days in a row, on "Renews Network", news about the beast head and Dan Fang Lei's "returning home" were flying everywhere. Even Su Yehao's hosting of the chorus back in 1997 was picked up and praised again.
It's probably because the adrenaline has been secreted in advance.
On the 19th, everyone seemed relatively calm.
Su Yehao had no time to rest during the day. While receiving guests, he was also interviewed by many media in turn. After entering the venue in the evening, he just went out to greet others and received more than 70 business cards throughout the day. By the end, his head was buzzing.
of.
After watching the flag-raising at the newly built Cultural Center Garden Hall in the middle of the night, he went home and fell asleep. The sound of firecrackers outside did not wake him up.
Wake up from sleep.
There is almost no difference between whether you should rest and whether you should be busy with business.
Christmas and New Year followed closely, and Su Yehao was still busy. Documents such as personnel transfers, bonus arrangements, next year's plans, etc. were piled up on his desk. There were dozens of unread messages in his email box every day.
Linda Yun specially called a young man to help get the documents.
After finally finishing the finishing work at the end of the year, my head is almost turning into a lake of jelly.
He signed the paper so many times that he almost couldn't write his name. There were so many different strokes between "Su Yehao" and "Su Yehao" that he felt more and more that simplified Chinese characters were really a good thing.
When I was processing documents, I occasionally saw some companies that seemed strange to me.
After asking, Su Yehao was surprised to find that he was a shareholder. For example, there were more than two dozen computer game entrepreneurial teams in Silicon Valley venture capital last year, and he rarely paid attention to them.
One after another, the initial financing investment has been used up, and now a swarm of people are coming to continue asking for financing.
The development status of these companies is uneven, and some are close to bankruptcy. They need to re-evaluate, cut off investment projects with no potential, and stop losses in a timely manner.
As for Google, CEO Larry Page proposed to prepare for listing next year and formulate a stock incentive plan. Su Yehao thought about delaying it and only replied that we would discuss it in the second half of next year.
I finally managed to hold on until Christmas, and I was dealing with several girls.
While others rest during holidays, Su Yehao feels like he is on holiday every day, but he is most afraid of holidays...

In the blink of an eye.
After New Year's Day, the "Millennium Bug" incident that people were worried about certainly didn't happen.
Su Yehao is in a semi-retired state, and the days are passing by unknowingly, and the Lunar New Year has quietly arrived.
Hong Kong City has a bit of a New Year flavor, but not too much. On New Year's Eve this year, Su Yehao accompanied his father and second aunt to have a reunion dinner and stayed in Yin Liuli's villa at night.
Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu both went home to spend the holidays with their families.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I went to the Tang family’s old house to pay my grandpa New Year greetings. In the afternoon, I visited Nong Qingying’s house with gifts.
After a long journey, I finally got over the Spring Festival.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which was February 8, 2000, Vice President Zheng Yongwen took the rare initiative to call Su Yehao and asked him to have a drink on the top floor of Hi~o(*￣▽￣*) Garden Hotel.
coffee.
Sitting in the bulletproof version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur that was just returned to me. After getting a new dual-color paint job, I felt almost like buying a new car.
Su Yehao leisurely came to the top floor of the hotel, dozed off and teased Vice President Zheng Yongwen: "Brother Yong, you really know how to choose a place. The meeting place is set to be in my hotel. Should I treat you to a cup of coffee, or should you treat me to a cup?"
Coffee, with our relationship, how can I have the nerve to charge you for it?"
"From what you're saying, then I don't have to pay?"
Zheng Yongwen sat at the square table, flipping through the magazine with his legs crossed, and said with a smile: "You guys are so heartless. When you use me, you always call me Dean Zheng, but now you have become Brother Yong. Even if you don't pay for the coffee, the waiter
I will still give them a tip, I can’t let their hard work go in vain.”
"It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously..."
Su Yehao sat opposite him and continued: "As soon as I received your call, I immediately ran over from Dalangwan. No one else could have such a great reputation as you. Dean, you asked me to come over. What do you want to give me?
"
"I can't talk about it. I just want to find cooperation with you, young master. A few days ago, the media reported that you lost 300 million US dollars in stock trading. Is it true or false?"
"Really, if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts, and I still feel bad about it. It's all because of a trainee assistant who was too talkative. Now everyone knows that in order to earn only a few thousand dollars in line reporting fees, he lost it.
With a job that pays more than 200,000 yuan per year, I really don’t know what the intern assistant is thinking in his mind.”
Su Yehao's tone was calm.
Speaking of the loss of more than 300 million US dollars, it is really his own fault.
Before the Spring Festival, he discovered that the Nasdaq Index had risen sharply. Su Yehao thought that it had reached a peak, so he turned to shorting the Nasdaq Index through First Quanye Brokers.
did not expect.
I invested US$400 million in capital with leverage to build a short position. The Nasdaq index soared to the sky on the second trading day. I waited patiently for a few more trading days, and finally withdrew only more than US$30 million.
Different from stock trading, this time it is purely Su Yehao trying his luck.
Facts have proved that his luck is not very good.
In just five trading days, the Nasdaq index rose by nearly 9%. It was a rare gamble. I was betting that the Internet bubble was about to collapse. I was immediately taught a lesson by the market and almost lost my position and was forced to liquidate it.
As the trainee assistant leaked the incident to the media, forget it if it was just a joke.
The key is that Su Yehao also controls a listed company. After the news spread to the United States, it triggered panic among the shareholders of Yanzi Group. Even the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the board of directors of Yanzi Group sent letters asking him what was going on.
In the end, Su Yehao could only find an excuse, saying that the independent investor he hired was the one who made his own decisions and chose to short the Nasdaq index, so he reluctantly got over it.
He should have continued to be bullish, but he chose to join the "Air Force" camp because of his head-scratching, turning making money into losing money. He almost lost one and a half large yachts in one go. It was inevitable that Su Yehao would be depressed.
Looking at Vice President Zheng Yongwen, Su Yehao asked him, "Why are you bringing this up?"
Zheng Yongwen smiled and said:
"After seeing the news in the newspaper, I also studied the Nasdaq index and found that the trend since 2000 was obviously abnormal. The sharp rise these days has further proved my point. Master, you are really courageous. The stock market has returned to its glory.
You dare to go short at any time. It is obvious that a group of people are pumping and selling recently, but your hunch is correct. Nasdaq should have problems soon, I guess it will be very recently."
Rolling his eyes, Su Yehao said: "Then don't you want to thank me for spending a lot of money to give you inspiration? Does this count as stepping on my corpse to pave a clear path for you?"
Vice President Zheng Yongwen smiled and said nothing, seeming to be gloating about his misfortune. He took a sip of coffee and told:
"Compared with other investors, you are already very lucky. You have successfully captured a big bull market, and now you are just giving back a small part. How can we be truly invincible in our industry, where we can only make profits but not lose money? Why?
So, young master, do you still dare to accompany me to gamble? As usual, you should share some of the hard work with me when you earn money."
Su Yehao spread his hands and said:
"Don't you dare? You've already lost money. Why don't you increase your chips and get back your capital and profits? I don't believe it can continue to rise. I just transferred 300 million into my financial account two days ago. A total of
I have collected more than 500 million US dollars, and now I am waiting for Nasdaq to show its decline. There is only one signal missing for the time being. To be honest, I have been waiting since last year for this opportunity..."
