Rebirth

Chapter 224-Yahoo!

With Yahoo's successful IPO, Li Feng was extremely satisfied with this IPO. Originally, according to Yahoo in history, the IPO price was $13, but it skyrocketed to $33 on the same day.

Looking at the stock price of Yahoo in this life is much lower, but the stock issuance in this life is several times that of the previous life, it can be seen that the current Yahoo is indeed far beyond the previous life.

Not to mention the market value. Although the stock price soared to 33 U.S. dollars in the previous life, it was less than 1 billion U.S. dollars in terms of market value. Now it has almost reached 10 times the market value scale. In Li Feng’s view, Yahoo’s current The market value has indeed reached the scale one year after the previous life.

After the NASDAQ Yahoo listing trip, the group returned to the Waldorf Astoria. Naturally, everyone was full of excitement, especially Yang Zhiyuan and David Filo, who were sitting in the car without stopping. Twisting, showing that the two people are not at peace.

"I said, Jerry and David, don't do that. Now that the listing is over, and you are also billionaires, can you calm down after a day." In the car, Li Feng, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro joked with a smile.

"Hey, son, you are still calm. I feel like I'm dreaming now. Last year, Jerry and I were two Stanford students. In just one year, we became super-rich with a net worth of hundreds of millions. You Say if this is like a dream." David Filo looked at Li Feng's calm expression and replied with a wry smile.

...

Li Feng also knew the situation of the two of them. The two of them were not reborn as they were. They were able to face all this quickly and calmly. After all, phantom things like rebirth had happened, and there was nothing else that could not be seen.

However, the two became real billionaires overnight, and it is inevitable that they feel a little bit of trouble in their hearts. This is also in the heart of a normal person.

"Haha..., Jerry, David, do you know what it was like when I got wealth after Netscape went public?" At this time, Li Feng asked them with a smile.

Regarding Li Feng's fortune, the two are very clear about the situation. Li Feng obtained some shares of Netscape by virtue of Yahoo's share mortgage, and then obtained a large fortune after going public through Netscape, and then established his own Century Group.

Thinking of this, looking at Li Feng who was smiling on the opposite side, the two of them began to calm down. After all, facing a Li Feng whose wealth far exceeded the two of them, it seemed that their wealth seemed to be nothing.

Sure enough, people are afraid of comparison, and when they compare, they calm down.

...

"Shenzi, we all know that you used Netscape money to invest in Microsoft and Cisco stocks. I have to say that you made a profit and then used stock loans to establish the current Century Group.

You have earned yourself the ability of a group company with the money from the bank. This is the reason why the United States admires you. It is like a model of the empty glove white wolf.Faced with Li Feng's question, David Filo replied with a smile.

Seeing the expressions of the two and being able to make fun of him, Li Feng also knew that the two had calmed down.

"What is the empty glove white wolf? This is because we have a super investment vision, not to mention these investments. However, after Netscape went public, I quickly sold the stocks and gained huge wealth. At that time, I was also suffering from gains and losses. .

But I’ve heard a sentence, since I’ve become a billionaire on paper, I’ll see if I’m a billionaire worthy of the name. It’s the best way to confirm with spending money, so I started shopping spree .

As you know, at that time, I first bought the Century Manor in Hollywood. Even now, the price is still the Beverly Hills luxury house transaction record. As a result, I finally confirmed that I have indeed become a billionaire. If not, I don’t have so much money to spend, hahahaha..."

...

After talking, there was still a burst of laughter. At the same time, everyone in the car imagined the scene of Li Feng at the time. He was born in an orphanage. In just a few months, with his shrewd vision, he invested in Yahoo and borrowed money to invest in Netscape, and he was worth hundreds of millions. It is normal to suffer from gains and losses.

As a result, Li Feng confirmed that he had become a billionaire through frenzied consumption. It seemed a bit ridiculous, and at the same time, he felt sour.

Naturally, Li Feng won the praise from the bottom of everyone's heart when he said it. Not many people can gamble like Li Feng, and they are all overwhelmed. Whether it is investing in Yahoo or borrowing money to invest in Netscape, lucky He succeeded.

Among them, if something goes wrong, Li Feng will go bankrupt.

Naturally, if Li Feng knew what they thought, maybe he would tell others, if it weren’t for me to confirm, I would put all my belongings on it, my brain was rusty and teasing, who made us destined to let the world surround us. Force characters.

"So, look, if you two are still thinking about whether or not you become billionaires, it's very simple. Just spend your money and see if your ability to spend money is different from before."

Seeing Li Feng shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands to the two of them, and calmly pretending to be calm, Yang Zhiyuan and Yang Zhiyuan calmed down the various emotions in their hearts.After all, facing a younger and more successful Li Feng, the sense of accomplishment that just surged in his heart was suppressed.

Afterwards, the group returned to the hotel smoothly with a happy mood, and the next step was the celebration reception held by Goldman Sachs in the evening.

...

"John, Jerry, David, this is our President Henry Paulson of Goldman Sachs. Mr. Paulson and Goldman Sachs are very pleased to be able to reach cooperation with Yahoo this time."

Goldman Sachs Calvin, who had a relationship before, introduced a middle-aged bald man with glasses to Li Feng.

That's right, this is already a celebration reception in the luxurious banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria in the evening. The reception was jointly organized by Yahoo and Goldman Sachs and invited many executives from Wall Street and Silicon Valley to participate. It can be said that the scene is really a predator. Gathered.

For the Goldman Sachs president, Li Feng does not know his personal evaluation very well, but he still knows one thing, that is, he later became the Treasury Secretary of the United States, and he is the Treasury Secretary with real decision-making power.Therefore, Li Feng still wants to fight with him first, after all, there are multiple friends and multiple paths.

"First of all, congratulations to the three, Yahoo has achieved great success, and Yahoo has full potential, and it will be more brilliant in the future." Paulson then smiled and congratulated the three.

"This is still to thank Goldman Sachs for its help and support. If there is no full assistance from Goldman Sachs, Yahoo will not be so successful. We also thank Goldman Sachs." Yang Zhiyuan immediately responded with a smile.

"It is true, but it also has a premise, that is, Yahoo is indeed excellent, and Nasdaq will not reject such an excellent Internet leader." Paulson once again smiled and admired.

Listening to the other party's words not only made it clear that Goldman Sachs played a huge role in promoting it, but also praised Yahoo's status as the number one Internet company. His words were indeed clever, which made Li Feng sigh.

...

"Hello, Mr. Li, I finally saw you. The last time Calvin came back, I explained what you mean. For Goldman Sachs, this may be a very good opportunity. If you still have intentions, I will Instead, you can try it, such as trading with Yahoo shares."

Paulson turned his head to talk to Li Feng at this time, making Yang Zhiyuan and the others confused. After all, it is not clear what Li Feng said to Goldman Sachs last time.

Li Feng naturally knew that Paulson wanted to exchange his Yahoo shares for Rockefeller Center. If in 2016, Li Feng would have agreed directly, but now it is 1996.

Thinking of Yahoo, whose market value will exceed 100 billion in the next 3-4 years, and his 15% of shares are over 10 billion, how could Li Feng agree to the transaction?

As for the value of Rockefeller Center, Adams has already explored it clearly. The market value is at most between 1.5 and 600 million. Now his shares in Yahoo, based on today's market value, are not enough to acquire Rockefeller Center. If Li Feng is It is really silly to be willing to trade.

In addition, the investigation also found that in the past two years, the head of Rockefeller had quoted about 1.3 to 400 million US dollars and wanted to repurchase the Rockefeller Center. Unfortunately, in the end, they did not negotiate because of the price issue. In fact, it was only a difference of two or three. It's just billions of dollars.

...

In fact, what Li Feng didn't know was that Goldman Sachs sold Rockefeller Center in his previous life around 2000, and the price was only US$1.89 billion.

Similarly, the same side shows that the strength of the legendary Rockefeller family is indeed weakened. Although the family assets may still be tens of billions, and even the family influence is still so strong, in terms of the wealth directly controlled by the family, it is indeed One generation is not as good as one generation.

Therefore, although later generations on the Internet are explaining what some European and American families say to break the habit of'rich but not three generations', in Li Feng's view, this is also a boast of the media.

Obviously, if family members are really super capable, and have not seen future generations of Rockefeller family members active in the Internet age, most of the family members will be under the shadow of their ancestors. After all, relying on the family trust fund, every family member is Enough life for a lifetime.

Of course, Li Feng would not underestimate his accumulation of hundreds of years.
