Rebirth

Chapter 16 Negotiations

Accompanying a group of big guys around in the garage, and then, under the sign of all parties, led a few big guys into the simple small conference room on one side, plus 5 people on Li Feng’s side, barely able to sit down , Really compact enough.

"Sitting here, I really miss it. We all came here back then." After everyone took their seats, Intel President Andy Grove said with a smile.

The first two presidents of Intel were the two founders, and this Andy Grove was the first employee hired by Intel. It is said that he is known for his rigorous and serious work.

"Yes, I was still busy with you for a while." KPCB founder John Durr also said at this time.

Yes, John Durr worked for Intel for a period of time before founding KPCB. He was one of Intel’s first employees and one of Intel’s veterans, just like Ali’s 18 "Rohan".

Therefore, John Durr is very familiar with Andy Grove.After that, everyone exchanged for a while, these big guys are actually very familiar.

For example, KPCB is one of the first venture capitalists to invest in AOL. It can be said that in the large companies of the United States, it is very complicated to hold the holding company behind it. It may seem that there are two unrelated companies, or both of them. The underlying capital control or a lot of capital are intertwined, and the relationship is very close.

......

"Now is not the time to reminisce about old memories. Today we are here for the same purpose. Everyone is usually very busy. It is a rare opportunity to meet. Let Jerry and the others talk about Yahoo."

IDG's gangster McGovern interrupted the memories of the two men. Speaking of several gangsters, McGovern and Don Valentine had the right to interrupt their memories.

Wherever they are, they are all about seniority. The same is true for American emperors. When the two recounted their old memories, AOL’s Keith, Michael Moritz, and Defengjie’s Tim (the three-generation son of the family founded Defengjie) did not To interrupt, only McGol and Valentine are qualified.

"OK, it seems to be old. Looking at Yahoo's situation, I can't help but think of when we started our business. Okay, let's listen to Yahoo's situation." Andy Grove replied with a smile.

Following the words of the two of them, several big men looked at Yang Zhiyuan and others.

......

"Thank you for your importance to Yahoo and for your presence." Yang Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude to several people on behalf of Yahoo at this time.

I have to say that Yang Zhiyuan still has a kind of natural business elite. For example, here, although he was a little nervous at the beginning, after the company and greetings, now he can't see the nervousness at all, which is natural.

"You can take a look at the Yahoo business plan we have prepared for you. We believe that the next Yahoo will be able to satisfy you."

Immediately, Yang Zhiyuan talked to everyone about the current situation and future of the Internet. I have to mention that Li Feng plays a role in it. As a posterity, no one knows the future of the Internet better than him. Therefore, in the previous few days, he talked to Yang. Everyone in Zhiyuan praised it for a while.

......

Then he gave a detailed description of the current situation of Yahoo, and finally explained the financing plan and the specific Yahoo plan after financing.

For example, the gradually unfolding global plan, in accordance with the development strategy plan of Canada, Australia, Europe and then Asia, allows Yahoo to occupy the attention of the global portal and become the veritable first portal in the world.

Then it was explained that Yahoo plans to set up European branches, Canada, and Australia offices, establish various language versions, and even establish a branch website development model for each country.

These models are actually very simple models in later generations, but they are full of forward-looking when proposed at this time. Of course, this is also Li Feng's proposal.

Followed by some new plans for Yahoo site, such as free mailbox, VIP paid mailbox and so on.

Afterwards, I mentioned Yahoo’s entrepreneurial team and its development, especially the concept of entry-level websites and portals, and new online media, but it made a few big shots.

......

"Everyone, Yahoo has become the world's best portal website. This is a rare opportunity for us.

At the time when all competitors have not yet reacted, we will quickly seize the opportunity and opportunity to occupy the global market and face the resources of hundreds of millions of Internet users around the world. Should we give up on our own resources that we have advantages.

If Yahoo can become the first choice for all netizens to surf the Internet, Yahoo must be the best in the vast market of hundreds of millions of netizens now and in the future.

I can even assert that with the rise of the Internet, the reality of paper media will decline sharply, such as newspapers. This is the problem that the media must face in reality after the development of the Internet. The Internet is an irresistible trend."

......

It can be said that as Yang Zhiyuan spoke more and more cheerfully, the eyes of the big guys on the opposite side became brighter.

After all, these bigwigs also know that the development of the Internet is indeed unstoppable, so if you master Yahoo, which is the brightest right now, you will have the right to speak on the Internet in the future.

"Therefore, this is the reason why we still need to raise funds when we are already profitable. As long as we have enough funds to open up the global market, the future Yahoo will be a world-class enterprise, even an Internet business card.

Finally, our plan is to raise 100 million US dollars, 20% of the shares, to realize our Yahoo global strategy.

If the plan goes well, the strategic layout of the Canadian, Australian, and European markets and preparations for the Asia-Pacific region will be completed in 1995, and the Asia-Pacific layout will be launched in 1996. After that, it will gradually expand in Latin and Latin America, even if it goes smoothly in 1996. In half a year, we can expect Yahoo to ring the bell on Nasdaq."

......

It can be said that Yahoo has basically taken out its own bargaining chips against these bigwigs, and Yang Zhiyuan has nothing to hide from a kind of business bigwig.

I believe that as long as Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan and the others raise their heads, it is estimated that this group of people will be able to make a rough guess about the follow-up plan. You must know that these companies are facing the global market.

In the same way, you guys have actually been moved, which is the reason for the amount of financing in the end.

After all, these people are not ordinary people. As the most elite group of people in the business world, they understand Yahoo’s advantages and disadvantages. As long as there is sufficient development funds, Yahoo’s future is already bright. Therefore, how can Yahoo be like this? The opportunity is missed before.

......

"Well, it's convenient for some of you to go outside and have a rest. Let's discuss it here." Finally, Andy Grove suggested.

After that, Yang Zhiyuan took the Yahoo group and left the small meeting room, and let these big guys negotiate. In fact, it was the issue of share allocation, and let them divide it up by themselves.

The small conference room is a glass room. The crowd outside can clearly see the negotiation process of everyone inside, although they can't hear what is said inside.

Seeing Yang Zhiyuan and the five people walking out of the meeting room, the employees on Yahoo's side looked at it nervously. Everyone at Yahoo immediately calmed down. After that, a few people greeted a group of big brothers. Several people sat down to rest and chatted, while also paying attention to the situation in the glass room.

Seeing that the big guys inside seemed to get more and more excited at this time, they were already arguing with each other.

......

"Brothers, do you think they are arguing about who gets more or less of the 20 shares?" Li Feng joked while watching the lively scene inside.

"It's really possible." Yang Zhiyuan also replied with a smile.

"Haha..."

Perhaps thinking of this possibility, the five laughed together, attracting the attention of the crowd outside.
