This kind of relatively backward and unique search network actually earned nearly 100 million US dollars last year. At the peak of Nasdaq’s market value, it achieved 900 million US dollars, and Nasdaq’s market value was 700 million, accounting for 4% of the search market.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Bo put this information aside. He can’t afford to buy this company now. Lack of money is one of the factors. It is hard enough to get at least 100 million yuan at a premium if he wants to collect it privately, and he has to lay off a large number of employees and pay a large amount of termination money.
After the manual search, a lot of chat librarians are piled up to update the network. Although it seems that this company is beautiful, Sunnyvale is still his neighbor.
"Let’s talk to these companies first." Chen Bo handed the information to Liu Qing. "Let people make an ant model and put it at the door more than ten meters high. It should be cute and sexy!"
"… how sexy can an ant be?"
"Use your imagination. Since you’re here, you have to move around the clock. The image can’t be sloppy!" Chen Bo touched Ba with a smile and said, "Another press conference will be held another day to make an offer to Ask Jeeves for William to do."
"Are you crazy? ! What acquisition are you taking now? " Liuqing face confused way
"If the acquisition is unsuccessful, don’t buy it." Chen Bo didn’t intend to buy it without any intention. It is still feasible to brush it.
Of course, it is necessary to ensure that you have the ability to pay if you really launch an offer. If any company jumps out and calls me to buy Microsoft, I want to buy Connect. That’s not enough for them. Generally, they need to hand in a bank certificate, but a certificate can also be a bank credit.
Some acquirers will even ask for the buyer’s deposit, and it is often the case that you have to pay a sum of money after the final acquisition fails.
Chen Bo is now trying to build momentum. Since you are all playing big, I can’t be alone outside the circle. Anyway, I just announced my intention to buy, which made this chaotic river and lake mixed up a little more.
Williams Pratt has been ordered to search for CEO of North America by ants. This is almost a rare black executive in Silicon Valley. Although geek elites, engineers and presidents in various Hollywood blockbusters may all be black, the actual elites are really rare. Those are just a banner for politicians to promote freedom and equality and export culture.
Black technicians in Silicon Valley may not even be 3% here, except for white people and Asian faces.
Chen Bo’s original intention was to set up an inspirational banner through Williams. A probationary employee who was abandoned by Ggle can now show the company’s more liberal and inclusive corporate culture to the outside world through his efforts in ant search.
Innovation, freedom, equality, whether you are white or aboriginal, Asian or black, Ant Company can realize your dreams, not only to let others find out that yellow-skinned Chinese can be so awesome, but also to help others achieve themselves.
Chapter X Capital Double-edged Sword
Recently, the atmosphere in Yanjing, China is a little weird. The pedestrians in the streets of such a big city are like ghosts. It is hard to believe that there are still tens of millions of people living here. However, there is a Chinese Silicon Valley in the Wuhuan outer manchuria area. There is a self-titled No.1 Chinese portal company in Zhongguan Village called Speed Fox. Its office staff are still busy.
Zhang Chaoyang looked at the report submitted by the finance department, and his face was covered with laughter. After two months, he gained a lot. After so many years, the Internet is not as fast as a small online game.
Although it can’t be compared with Shanda’s bloody curiosity, it can at least get a share of it. The quick money of online games has not made Tongmen. com e exclusive in the front and left behind.
"Old ancient evening you and ChuYuan come to my house and let’s have a few drinks." In a good mood, Zhang Chaoyang dialed the line to inform his partners Gu Yongqiang and Yu Chuyuan that most of the hotels are closed at this time and there is no place to go to his villa in the northern suburbs.
All three of them are all returnees, and they all share the same pursuit of work and quality of life. Nowadays, it is common for the management to have a bottle of red wine for recreation in their leisure time.
"Yo collection Romani Kandy for so many years you are willing to take it out? Did you find the money today or are you going to get married? "
Gu Yongqiang didn’t miss this bottle of wine before, but Zhang Chaoyang was always untouchable. I didn’t expect that today’s top French wineries produced three vines to brew a bottle. Even the original wine barrels were made of the latest oak and dried for three years.
Although this is not produced in 1999, it is also valuable. A bottle of wine is worth two rings and one suite.
"We in dr. zhang are very happy. The performance in the first quarter was very bright. How many bottles of wine came out after Nasdaq released Q1 financial report next month!" Yu Chuyuan is the chief financial officer, and the company’s wealth is bound to go through her hand, gracefully shaking the goblet, admiring the crystal clear red wine, and the dewdrop is hung on the wall.
"Am I that philistine?" Zhang Chaoyang laughed. "I just think it’s not easy for everyone to stick to it all these years. You’ve been thinking about this wine. Just today!"
"Well, then I have to drink enough!" Gu Yongqiang took a sip of the cup and closed his eyes to feel the stimulation of mellow wine on taste buds.
Zhang Chaoyang graduated from Massachusetts, Gu Yongqiang came from Stanford, and Yu Chuyuan came from Berkeley. The three of them have different feelings about American life, chatting over wine and thinking about all kinds of hardships at the beginning, and now they have a sense of satisfaction.
A bottle of wine soon met the bottom three people, even playing CD, and the relaxing jazz room slowly shook with the strength of the wine.
Until it was Yu Chuyuan’s mobile phone that was disturbed by the ringing tone of urgent words.
"Hello …" Drink a little tipsy. She speaks with a little hazy and slightly drunk.
"What? Say it again! " Yu Chuyuan heard the words in a wine woke up high way "good! Ok! ! I know I will inform the board of directors. "
"What’s the matter?" Found abnormal Zhang Chaoyang dropped music came and said
"Nasdaq just B≈ ap; The P Foundation issued a reduction announcement. "
"How much is the reduction to be taken over by a third party or directly circulated?" Zhang Chaoyang also realized that the situation was serious at this time and asked quickly
"… department … hold! ! The reason is B≈ ap; P wants to allocate funds to invest in other projects, and it is directly flowing into the stock market. For the time being, no third-party organization is willing to take over! "
Zhao Chaoyang’s dark face has emerged a trace of democratic. He took out his mobile phone and pressed it for half a day. He finally found a number and dialed it. After waiting anxiously for dozens of seconds, he finally got through and shouted angrily at the words "Zhao Chuan, you B≈ ap; P what the hell? You this is * * naked fish in troubled waters! "
"Oh, it turned out to be General Manager Zhang. I just learned the news about this matter, but this is all decided by the US headquarters. I asked."
Zhao Chuan got Li Zhaojun’s instructions before, and naturally he won’t give him any promises. Moreover, he is also an investment partner of China, so he simply can’t take care of the American piece, so he replied casually and hung up.
"MD, these ungrateful Americans!" Zhang Chaoyang was so angry that he threw the glass he had drunk into the wall and smashed it with a bang. It was still a little rational and added, "Chu Yuan immediately moved the working capital to buy back the stock and tried his best to save the investors’ trust and arrange the board of directors to send a notice."
At the same time, although it is already late at night in Hang Cheng, western Zhejiang, Ma Yungang and Ali executives have finished the meeting, and the whole company has temporarily transferred to work at home. Taobao has also ushered in the best development period.
Lu Zhaoxi, CEO of Taobao, has obviously learned the latest news and handed the mobile phone text message directly to Ma Yundao. "Speed Fox just turned over and was smashed into a big party. I’m afraid it will fall behind."
"I’m afraid there is a danger for everyone in West Wave and Net E." Ma Yun showed a shallow smile. Sanmen.com signed an exclusive agreement with eBay and blocked him out early. Although there is no sorrow, he must be angry in his heart. Then he sighed, "Capital is a double-edged sword that can make you live and die. This is a bloody lesson. Zhang Chaoyang is a doctor of physics, but he is not a qualified leader. His pattern is too small."
"I heard that Chen Bo is now in the United States. Do you say this thing with him? And he and B≈ ap; P is very close, and every financing is through this foundation channel. "
"Well, it’s not impossible. This kid is very clever, but he stabbed others in the back and naturally some people dared to set fire to his lair!"
"Then what should we do? Should we add a fire to tell Yahoo! USA?"
Ma Yun’s face gave me a meaningful smile. "No one will be more active. Just move now. We have no choice but to watch a good show!" I hope he can survive. "
At this time, Chen Bo, on the other side of the world, didn’t know these things were happening in China. He was meeting LinkedIn Founder in a coffee shop in Mountain View.
"Mr. Hoffman, tell me about your idea of LinkedIn."
Sitting opposite him is the huge white fat Red Hoffman, who co-founded LinkedIn with his classmates at Stanford University, and he is not a famous person. After being sold last year, the former board member and executive vice president of PayPal decided to leave his job and start a business.
