I saw Yang Zhiyuan saying that NVIDIA is a trap.
Su Yehao, who had just got off the car, smiled and said nothing.
Among graphics processor suppliers, NVIDIA's status is equivalent to Intel's. It holds a lot of patented technologies and has already created barriers that are difficult to shake.
Su Yehao has read Huang Diamond Computer's report and knows that there is no suitable alternative graphics processor on the market today, leaving a situation where one company is the only one.
Relying on the sufficient capital flow brought by technology monopoly, Nvidia has embarked on the path of a virtuous cycle. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it is estimated that it will remain popular for at least another twenty years. Even Su Yehao has been tempted to buy Nvidia stocks more than once.
If Yang Zhiyuan really does what Jason Huang said, he probably will not disappear directly from the top of the rich list in the future.
All I can say about this is.
The vast majority of wealthy people succeed only by seizing that moment of inspiration, combined with good timing and luck, to stand out and achieve extremely high achievements.
Even if you have money and resources, it is too difficult to replicate this kind of success.
Like Bill Gates, whose most outstanding achievement is Microsoft, Oracle's Larry Ellison has also been working hard on a business for more than 20 years.
After Steve Jobs left Apple, he only built a Pixar animation studio.
Although this animation studio is also very powerful, and has successively launched works such as "Toy Story" and "Monsters, Inc.", it was Steve Jobs who created Apple and was on the same starting line as Bill Gates.
Compared with Gates, who has been on the world's richest list for many years, just doing computer animation is obviously a little less interesting.
After all, Yang Zhiyuan is not Su Yehao who holds a lot of unicorn companies. Yahoo's stock price has recovered in recent years and it still has a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars. Of course, it is impossible for him to sell out his stocks and invest in Nvidia instead.
Actually.
Yahoo's board of directors, including Yang Zhiyuan, believes that the company's stock price has fallen because of the loss of market share by Google. More importantly, it is the Internet bubble in 2000. They feel that Yahoo is in a reasonable price range.
Even if Google does not seize the search engine market share, it will probably be taken away by companies like Microsoft. Normal competition will be at a disadvantage. If you lose, you lose.
Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan did not mean to complain about Su Yehao. He had even planned to promote cooperation between Google and Yahoo earlier, but unfortunately the board of directors rejected it.
In addition, the idea of acquiring Google was considered, but was ultimately rejected by the board of directors.
Unlike other Internet companies, where founders are often able to retain control, when Yahoo raised capital, different rights for the same shares were not popular in Silicon Valley.
Yang Zhiyuan has basically lost control of the board of directors. As a result, Yahoo's internal management has always been relatively chaotic, a bit like "three monks with no water to drink", and is often affected by meaningless internal friction.
He himself knew this, so he cashed out and reduced his holdings one after another, placing part of his chips on the Yanmoji Group and Google...
When Larry Page and several Google executives arrived, Su Yehao drove John Zhou to the craft beer workshop he said.
This brewpub is located in the Palo Alto area, just a few minutes away.
After exchanging pleasantries and ordering beers, Jason Huang curiously asked in English: "Boss Su, why are you free to have a party tonight? I was already going to watch a movie, but Yang brought me here directly."
Su Yehao spoke the truth and replied:
"I arrived in the evening and slept for almost nine hours on the plane. If I don't drink some wine tonight, I'm afraid I'll have to keep my eyes open until tomorrow morning, I mean local time. It's been a long time since I've been to Silicon Valley. Everyone today
Let’s have some fun tonight, I just want to know what interesting things are going on in Silicon Valley recently.”
Larry Page is familiar to everyone here. This guy couldn't think about it and suddenly grew a beard. He looked a little weird and said in a calm tone:
"Silicon Valley has always been the same. The new batch of unicorn companies that have emerged, I mean the ones with a valuation of more than a billion dollars, are all in the hands of you, the boss. Like Paypal, Google Video, Google Travel, and
The photo walls under the emoji banner are all popular in the first half of this year. Some game companies are also particularly popular. Some people have already called this year the year of Su Ye. It should be no problem to be worth more than Gates. You must know that boss, you also have a large number of Chinese Internet companies.
company."
The speed of speaking is a bit fast, and it doesn't matter to others. Su Yehao needs to slow down.
Yang Zhiyuan lazily interrupted and said: "Hey, hey, it's a bit too much. I thought it was just a small talk tonight, but now it's a bit bullying. Google stepped on my Yahoo, and its development turned out to be so good. The subsidiaries it acquired one after another won
Success, why can't I encounter such a good thing?"
Su Yehao replied half jokingly and half seriously:
"I'm serious. I'm going to clear out my Yahoo stock, invest one-third of it in NVIDIA, and leave the rest to me. If I have billions of dollars in cash, it won't be a problem for it to increase tenfold in ten years. I
We only charge you 20% of the management fee, which is a very good deal.”
Not only Yang Zhiyuan, but also everyone else here thought Su Yehao was making fun of him.
Hear this sentence.
Yang Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously at all, and laughed and scolded: "The world's richest man is really different. When I first met you, he was not as arrogant as he is now. This is a conspiracy. If Yahoo loses me, it will be completely unable to compete with Google, right?"
Su Yehao was speechless.
Beer was served quickly, along with onion rings, popcorn and other snacks. A total of more than ten people sat around, chatting about all kinds of topics.
Due to the presence of outsiders, neither Larry Page nor John Zhou mentioned the company's secrets. At most, they only gossiped about other companies.
For example, the Amazon online shopping mall suffered huge losses while its stock price soared, and AOL's so-and-so was caught in scandalous news. Shareholders of Time Warner Group may have been so angry that they vomited blood.
Jason Huang spoke at this time and asked Su Yehao:
"I remember that you cooperated with Apple and established a subsidiary. There were reports from the outside world that you were planning to develop a handheld computer and an operating system? I don't know if there will be any difference between Nvidia and me at that time.
There is no chance of cooperation. Now I and other senior executives are waiting for your company, Boss Su, to help us produce new models. The order quantity is likely to be 20 to 30% higher than the number mentioned before."
The handheld computer project is a cover, and the smartphone is the core.
Su Yehao paused for a moment, finished his speech and replied:
"Of course I welcome any orders. ASML should quickly supply Micron. I won't be the only foundry in the future, so I don't have to worry too much about the production volume. There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future, but the main projects with Apple are
It’s just a large-scale Walkman. Don’t believe the rumors outside. On the basis of the iPod, it adds the functions of watching videos and reading e-books. There is no technical content.”
There is an official war situation, and Su Yehao understands the essence of it.
Jason Huang and Yang Zhiyuan were originally thinking about whether they had a chance to get involved. After hearing these words, they immediately lost interest in the Apple Smart Company.
Last year, a company called Archos took the lead in launching MP4, which is not a new thing.
It will probably take another two or three years before everyone here will come to their senses and say - Make your sister a large Walkman!
