Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chen Danni's foreign language proficiency is not good enough, Chen Danlin can't do without Jumei, Zhang Yiwen is calling for business, ready to clear the warehouse at any time, so although there are many women, but no one can accompany him to the United States for travel, uh, work.

The international crude oil price has risen to around US$75, and his futures are about to expire and be settled. These matters are arranged for Peterson of HSBC. The position of 600,000 barrels can make a profit of about 8.1 million, and the original principal of US$3.85 million , his private house money is going to be a lot more, how can a man really have no money to use?

Yesterday, he and Chen Danlin paid 100,000 yuan to invest in Chen Ke's development of "Minecraft", accounting for 50% of the shares. Qu Li and Chen Danlin also shared 50/50. The money is not enough, and I will give him more money according to the progress of the game development. However, Chen Ke did not go back to school or his hometown. There are many masters here who can learn many things that cannot be learned in school.

"Is that why you don't want my family members to work in Jumei?" Although Chen Danlin was satisfied with Qu Li's actions, she faintly felt something was wrong, and went back to the bedroom to torture Qu Li.

"This is a matter of principle and cannot be compromised." Qu Li didn't want to fool her, a man's bottom line cannot be broken easily

"Yeah~~~"

This is the meaning of the horse, Qu Li understands badly, who cares about her, for no reason, then Qu Li was kicked out of the room and almost moved into Chen Danni...

Cough cough, no, really not, how dare he.

A person flew directly from Yangcheng to San Francisco, and then contacted HSBC, asking them to help him arrange a driver and a hotel. You can’t ask him to take a taxi to every place. It was very troublesome to do this last time. Later, I learned that some travel agencies provide full travel The accompanying driver service means that you have to pay extra. It's far better to start a company in the United States and then find social animals. No one thinks that workers in the United States don't need to lick the boss, right?

After resting for a day and waiting for the driver the next day, Qu Li went directly to Yahoo to find CEO Yang Zhiyuan, and then met Lu Qi. He got a promotion and a salary increase, and was responsible for developing a browser and an open source project, which is the famous Chromium. Don't ask why it has the same name as Google, probably because Google currently does not have an open source browser project.

"Why doesn't Jerry buy Twitter, Yahoo has a similar project?"

"I don't know either. He never asked me about this matter."

"Does your browser have a built-in webpage translation function?" Qu Li and Lu Qi chatted about the browser, and he even drew a sketch of Chrome for Lu Qi.

"No, there are not enough manpower now."

"Jerry..."

"Is it because this project does not see a profit prospect, which has a great impact on you?"

"There are reasons for this, and there are also reasons for Yahoo's search." Lu Qi can't tell an outsider too much in detail, but Qu Li is too smart, and he is also Jerry's friend. We have discussed the future of Yahoo together. Qu Li agrees more and more with his ideas.

The two chatted, and Yang Zhiyuan soon arrived, and everyone found a new place.

"I originally wanted to buy Twitter, but in March this year NBC and Fox jointly established a video site called Hulu, intending to cooperate with Yahoo, I agreed, and will soon invest 100 million US dollars in Hulu." Yang Zhiyuan explained his reason Without acquiring Twitter, Yahoo gave up Facebook and became a laughingstock. It is nothing to invest in Twitter. It is better to invest funds in streaming media with more promising prospects.

"Who is the leader of Hulu?" Qu Li didn't ask Yahoo, which already had a video service, and invested in external video sites. What's the point?

"..." Everyone is a discerning person, and it's meaningless to say high-sounding words. It's like Wanda teaming up with Baidu and Penguin to do e-commerce. It's a big deal. As a result, has anyone ever gone to their house to buy things? Anyway, Qu Li never opened their website at all.

People have the same heart and the same reason. It is impossible that Chinese female businessmen and foreign businessmen are two species. The interests of the three-party cooperation are inconsistent. It would be strange if Hulu can succeed.

After Qu Li asked this question, he didn't continue. When he talked about other things, Yang Zhiyuan made adjustments to the Yahoo portal, gave up some businesses, concentrated more funds on news information, and strengthened media attributes. The other core is of course the search engine.

"The three businesses of news, media, and video will become the core of Yahoo's future, and I will submit the plan to the board of directors for approval after I plan it."

"How about adding another one?"

"..." Yang Zhiyuan's reform plan was influenced by Qu Li, but he didn't expect Qu Li to be so ignorant, did he really want to hear your opinion?

"When I came to the United States this time, besides investing in Twitter, I also wanted to set up a branch company to sell our own design and production of clothing, sneakers and other products in the United States. Although PayPal can be used, their rates are relatively high, which is not cost-effective." Qu Li explains

In fact, PayPal’s fees in this era were not too outrageous. The collection fee was about 2.4~3.4% plus 0.3 US dollars, and then gradually increased to 3.2~4.4% plus 0.3 US dollars, and there was also a cash withdrawal fee of 35 US dollars. Of course, if Qu Li started a company in the United States, the rate of using PayPal is likely to be 2.4% plus $0.3.

"The online payment in the United States is very convenient..." Yang Zhiyuan deliberately refused, and Yahoo closed their third-party payment PayDirect in 2004.

"I'm thinking about another level of issues, the needs of different industries and the convenience of payment. For example, the New York Times has opened a subscription account on Yahoo News, and paying users can receive the news pushed by the New York Times on the Yahoo website. Then they need What kind of third-party payment? I think fourth-party payment may be more suitable for them.”

"Fourth party payment?" Yang Zhiyuan was stunned

Qu Li was talking about Stripe. Anyway, he didn't know the founder of Stripe. It may not be a good thing for Yahoo, an Internet company with Chinese ancestry, to grow.

"What do you mean by that?"

“I want to cooperate with Yahoo to establish such a fourth-party payment company.” Jumei’s payment channel in the United States is not much problem, PayPal can be used, and you can also pay directly by credit card, online banking, or even check. There are many ways. But Qu Li felt that Yahoo was a good platform, and while Yang Zhiyuan was in power, he had a good impression of him, of course he wanted to take advantage of it.

"This matter is not urgent, let's talk about Twitter first..."

"Also, I am optimistic about the development of this company in the mobile Internet era."

"You really want to build a cell phone?"

"Of course, it's already being done."

"How brave."

"I suddenly made a lot of money, thinking that I can't use it in my life, so I might as well do something more meaningful. Even if the mobile phone company goes bankrupt, I can still live comfortably. At most, I can't get to know Jerry, lah Here, Qiaobosi, you global elites."

"You too, I'm your age..."

"What is age? In the Internet age, no one knows where a genius will emerge. Isn't there many such examples in the United States?" Zuckerberg will always be Yahoo's pain
