"Yao Cheng, have you seen the list of the world's richest people just released by Forbes magazine? You are the 67th, with a total assets of 3.763 billion U.S. dollars, which is incredible. You are second only to the Li Ka-shing family and the Guo Bingxiang family, and you are the richest Chinese.
There are three." Qi Yafei held a magazine in his hand and chatted with each other.
"I didn't read it. This stuff is all made up. I only have so little assets, so I might as well kill myself with a piece of tofu."
"That's good. Forbes magazine calculates net asset value. Your Wangan Computer, Marvel magazine, and NBA teams have not contributed any data. We have already incurred bank loans of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. All of these require
Less."
Wang Yaocheng had an unhappy look on his face. He picked up the cherries and threw them into his mouth. He ate them deliciously. "What about my investment in China?"
"Forbes magazine has no branches in China, so it should not be included in the statistics due to rigorous scientific considerations."
"As for my three listed companies in Hong Kong, all of them have more than 50% absolute controlling rights, with a value of more than 6 billion US dollars. These grandsons didn't even include me."
Qi Yafei smiled, shook the magazine in his hand and said, "The information in Forbes magazine was not collected today. It might have been a month ago, or it might have been two months ago. The stock price was still very low at that time."
"Damn, I feel a little uncomfortable."
"I think this is pretty good, but you're just too pushy."
"Oh, by the way, who is the richest man in the world?"
Qi Yafei folded the "Forbes" magazine in his hand and saw Wang Yaocheng eating cherries leisurely with his long legs raised. He was very dissatisfied and reached out to grab a few; "Can't you read it yourself?"
"Just treat it as a reporting job."
"Damn, I'm selling this to you 24 hours a day. Don't even think about it when you're on a plane and have to report to work." Qi Yafei was also quite arrogant and raised her neck; "Unless you lend me some money."
"What are you doing? Your salary is not low? You also have 0.75% of Yahoo's shares, and you will become a billionaire after the listing."
"It will still take a year or two. Maybe it will be listed in 1996. Network technology is changing rapidly, so we only seize the day."
Wang Yaocheng shook his legs playfully, "I want to go it alone."
"It's useless to work alone! There are too many people better than me in Silicon Valley, and only a handful of them are truly successful. Without the big platform of Red Hat, who am I?" Qi Yafei smiled bitterly; "I'm still optimistic about Athlon chips, and I'm ready to raise funds.
If you put some money in, it will be like an angel round like you."
"Actually, from the perspective of making money, it is more cost-effective to invest in Yahoo Search, and you can earn more quickly. After all, Athlon chips are still high-tech industries, and their valuations are not as high as those of the virtual economy." Wang Yaocheng said this sincerely.
Think about your brothers.
Intel's current market value is only US$56 billion, but Netscape's market value has reached half of that. Compared to Intel, which has more than 20,000 people, Netscape's valuation is extremely inflated, so it is naturally easier to make money.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yafei refused;
"Forget about Yahoo search. I feel that Athlon chips are more in line with my ideals. I want to do it as a career, not just from the perspective of making money. As for funds, you can just give me the entire 50 million US dollars."
Wang Yaocheng agreed simply; "That's no problem. When the time comes, I will find another way to get the Japanese yen loan, and you will pay the interest on the loan yourself."
"I asked Citibank and they can give me a credit line of up to 10 million U.S. dollars. I'm ready to give it a try."
"Haha, yes." Wang Yaocheng pondered for a while and said; "The entire Athlon chip project will be carried out for A-round financing after seeing the actual results. After the current project team has added experts from Wang An Computer, the number of personnel has doubled to more than 400 people.
, the results will be seen around the end of the year.
According to the current rate of burning money, this project will probably burn more than 200 million, and this is just direct investment.
Including other expenses and costs, the angel round should be about 400 million. If you invest this money, you will only have 15% of the equity. Before you see the money back, you will probably have to eat chaffy food during this period, and the interest will be enough for you.
Back."
Qi Yafei smiled treacherously and said, "I have told my wife that I am going to sell my current house and live in a Mediterranean manor in the future. Anyway, you will not lack me for food. Give me a separate small house."
Just upstairs."
"Just give me a separate small building." Wang Yaocheng held his tongue and imitated his accent, "You've got me, right?"
"Hey, let's keep you company so that you won't be lonely. If you have nothing to do, take the woman home and I'll keep an eye on it for Auntie."
"Okay, it's all a trivial matter." When he said this, Wang Yaocheng felt guilty; "I said you have been distracting me for a long time, who is the richest man in the world now?"
"Haha! Fuso's Yoshiaki Tsutsumi continues to be the richest man in the world, with a wealth of US$21.7 billion."
"Damn, this guy."

The Toyota Coaster bus drove into the manor and stopped at the entrance of the French palace. My uncle Chen Xiutong was the first to get out of the car. He was wearing a Hawaiian floral shirt, sunglasses, and a small flag in his hand.
"Everyone came down in order. After riding for a long time, my legs were numb. The second sister-in-law behind me helped the eldest sister. Don't let the little Juan run away. When the halter is released, she will act like a wild child. How many times have I told you, girls' homes
We have to cultivate a ladylike style in our family since childhood."
Chen Xiutong was nagging in his mouth, and stood at the door of the car to help Chen Xiulian, but was rejected: "Go, go away, I am not a grown-up who can't walk."
"Sister, what you said is what you said. When Xiaocheng left, you told me to take good care of you. I carry the order with me."
"Okay, you have a point."
"Of course." Chen Xiutong's chest puffed up; "This trip around the United States has to be thousands of kilometers. If I hadn't been watching closely, do you think these elm bumps would have come back intact?
Even being dragged by a wild bear, okay?”
Chen Xiulian smiled and patted him: "My little brother is the most capable, okay?"
"Ang, according to what Xiaocheng said, I am a night pearl buried in the soil. It is absolutely good, but it doesn't shine. If you put it in water and rinse it, you will see that it is a treasure."
"Dad, my cousin is talking about pearls covered in dust." Xiaojuan reminded her.
Chen Xiutong's face turned red, and he reprimanded Xiaojuan unhappily: "If you are a kid, do you want to interrupt what the adults are saying? Go quickly and ask your mother to go back and wash you, apply more perfume, and look like a lady."
"
Uncle Chen Xiude couldn't bear it when he heard him keep saying that we are all ladies, "Brother, don't you know what kind of family we are? If it weren't for the eldest sister who often helps us, your kid would starve to death, and you are such a lady, do you think it's possible?"
?”
"That's what the elder brother said." Second uncle Chen Xiucai said after a long time, which is equivalent to 10,000 points of critical hit.
Chen Xiutong walked in with an unhappy face, but his words were not ambiguous at all;
"You are all old-fashioned, what is your identity in Xiaocheng? Not to mention he is top not only in China, but also in the United States. I am his brother-in-law, and Xiaojuan is his cousin who would not trade for candy. This bloodline is noble.
I won’t tell you anymore, we don’t have any common language at all, the levels are different, okay.”
"You'll be OK, just keep talking about it all day long."
"I can still mess with Bai, but you bite me!"
"I don't have the leisure time."
Several people walked over, and Chen Xiulian followed behind with a smile. On one side was the second sister-in-law, and on the other was Xiaojuan supporting her. She was really treated like a queen mother.
Wang Yaocheng appeared at the door with a smile and said hello to everyone; "Mom, uncles and second uncle, you are all back!"
"Didn't you say you were going to Fuso? Why did you come back today?"
"Mom, I'll come back when I've finished my work." Wang Yaocheng stepped forward to replace Xiaojuan and held his mother's arm; "How was this round? Did it go well?"
"Hey, I've seen so much scenery that I'm numb. Mom is homesick now and can't wait to see the old man. I don't know if he's lost weight at home. I've been dreaming about your dad these days. I'll take a day off.
Want to go home."
"It's such a rush. Let's take it easy and wait ten days and a half before we talk."
"No, Mom can't wait all day. If I hadn't been too tired today, I would have wanted to leave now." Chen Xiulian sighed; "This time I came to see the big world. I have eaten the best things. In the end,
After seeing all the beautiful scenery, I realized that without your dad by my side, it’s like food without salt, it always feels tasteless.”
Wang Yaocheng was a little reluctant to give up. Looking at his mother's expectant eyes, he could only give in; "Okay, you wait for two days, and I will go back with you."
"Child, just go about your own business. Mom and your uncle can just make a ticket. There is no need to send him back and forth. The distance is really too far." Chen Xiulian felt a little sorry for her son.
"I still have business in China, so I always have to go back and take care of it. It's not a special gift."
"All right!"
After settling down all the relatives, Wang Yaocheng led his entourage on a non-stop flight to Boston and found that Atlantic Business Machines was on the right track and was rapidly regaining its vitality.
As expected, Chambers made extraordinary moves. He had already considered the enterprise comprehensively, reorganized the organization vigorously, cut off unnecessary departments, and promoted some capable managers to important positions.
It's like cleaning and refueling a rusty machine. It has started running quickly and is gradually accelerating.
The R&D centers under the group headquarters have been merged and restructured to become more concise and efficient.
Boston originally had six independent research and development centers. In addition to retaining one independent research center each at Harvard University, MIT and Lincoln Township, the other three have been eliminated, and personnel and resources have been integrated.
Similarly, the two independent research centers in Silicon Valley were all cancelled, merged into Red Hat, and mobilized elite personnel to form the Communications Electronics Technology Research Center, with 192 technical staff and the third largest number of researchers, second only to
The Athlon chip project and the Yahoo search engine project show the importance of status.
After drastic reform and personnel readjustment, scholars engaged in cutting-edge research from Atlantic Business Machines Company were transferred to Red Hat, and the company's current number of practical scientific and technological researchers dropped to 980, further reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Most of the middle and high-level managers of the original enterprises have rich work experience, and many of them have been assigned to local sales centers, greatly increasing the strength of this last sales link.
At present, what is still maintaining production is the traditional office equipment strengths of 1200 typewriters, WPS processors, and other products. Sales have been stable, barely keeping the company from starving to death.
Now, Atlantic Business Machines urgently needs a leading product to break the situation and bring new life to the company.
