Chapter 15

After the meeting, everyone got a little ready. After lunch, Yahoo's garage looked very quiet. Obviously, everyone in the company knew what the next negotiation meant.

Yang Zhiyuan and others are also a little nervous, including Li Feng. After all, Li Feng was an ordinary person in his previous life. Next, these are the people of the moment in American shopping malls. It would be strange if Li Feng could be calm.

Yang Zhiyuan and others are the same. They were students two months ago. Next, they will face those business elites. It is inevitable to be a little nervous.

In fact, the financing negotiation has attracted the attention of the whole venture capital industry and even the whole silicon valley. Since deciding to accept venture capital, Yahoo has recently become the topic of the whole silicon valley.

Who let Yahoo's recent performance is really great. It has become a benchmark on the Internet. As long as it is online, there are almost no people who can't get on Yahoo. The registered members have exceeded 2 million, and nearly 10 million hits a day.

You know, yahoo still has many competitors on the Internet before. However, since the revised Yahoo portal was launched, the traffic of many competitors is declining sharply.

......

Yahoo's performance, because of Li Feng's early intervention, can be said to have far exceeded the same period in previous lives, at least making Yahoo's development at least a year or more ahead of schedule. This is also the biggest storm that Li Feng, a butterfly, has caused so far in the world.

A few days ago, the 500 million valuation offer made by Yahoo has been spread in the venture capital circle and Silicon Valley. Many people say Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan and others are crazy.

How can such a crazy valuation offer be made? The US dollar at this time is not the US dollar devalued wildly in future generations. At this time, the US dollar is the strongest world currency.

Even the market value of many listed companies is less than $500 million. Think about this, you can see how crazy Yahoo's valuation seems to ordinary people.

And at this time, Yahoo is still a company with less than 20 people, still shrinking in a garage of more than 100 square meters. Yahoo has been officially established for only two months. You know how incredible it is.

Because of this, today the whole Silicon Valley is paying attention to Yahoo's first round of financing negotiations, and even many people are preparing to see Yahoo's jokes.

......

At 1:30 p.m., with many cars in front of Yahoo's garage, there was a commotion in Yahoo. Obviously, many venture capital representatives have arrived.

Originally, the negotiation wanted to find a hotel or something, but those venture capital representatives proposed to negotiate directly with Yahoo, saying they also wanted to see how Yahoo, which is popular on the Internet, works.

Then Yang Zhiyuan arranged to take a group of people to the garage gate to meet many venture capital representatives in addition to the necessary staff.

Li Feng followed Yang Zhiyuan out of the door. Sure enough, he saw a group of people coming out of the car, including Michael Moritz of Sequoia Capital, whom he had just met a few days ago.

Then Yang Zhiyuan walked in front of the crowd, followed by mutual greetings and introductions, especially the appearance of Li Feng, which surprised the crowd. After all, Li Feng was only 15 years old, which was too abrupt among the crowd.

Similarly, the representatives of yizhongfeng investment are obviously heavyweights, but they are also stunned by Yahoo people.

For example, don Valentine, the founder of Sequoia Capital, and Michael Moritz, the second-generation core; John dur, founder of KPCB; Steve Keith, chairman of AOL; Tim Draper, founder of de Fengjie; McGovern, chairman of American International Data Group (parent company of IDG capital); Andy Grove, President of Intel, the parent company invested by Intel, came in person.

People still take a lot of small Luoluo not to say, in short, these people who come to Yahoo today are definitely heavyweights in Meidi shopping malls.

......

So many heavyweights gather Yahoo, which is a historical precedent. In fact, it is impossible for ordinary venture capital to summon these big people. No matter how high the amount of venture capital is, it is generally impossible.

However, because Yahoo has opened a historical precedent and put forward the profit model of the Internet, it has attracted people's attention, which is the most important.

Who are these big people? They are all world-class business elites. From the business model of free "content + traffic + advertising" put forward by Yahoo, they see the unparalleled prospect of the Internet, which is also the main reason why they come to Yahoo.

When we realized the broad prospects of the Internet in the future, we were naturally curious about the first proposed enterprise. Under such circumstances, we gathered heavyweights from all parties.

At the same time, this is also one of the important reasons why many capital giants are willing to sit down and talk after Yahoo's quotation of 500 million valuation.

It can be said that when all the characters introduced each other, Yahoo was a little stunned.

Think about it, these leaders are world-class business leaders. Why are they suddenly so interested in their own Yahoo company, but they scared everyone. Even Li Feng was a little stunned.

......

"Why, your Highness the son was surprised?" Just when Yahoo people were stunned, Michael Moritz came to Li Feng and asked jokingly.

"Michael, what are these big guys doing here? We Yahoo don't seem to be so important?" Li Feng regained his consciousness and immediately asked.

"Ha ha... Nothing. Everyone is a little curious about Yahoo. Therefore, by chance, they all came. You know, when I saw it, I was also surprised." Michael Moretz immediately replied with a smile.

In fact, Li Feng underestimated Yahoo. Considering the stock market performance of Yahoo after its listing, the company clearly suffered huge losses, but the stock price kept rising.

Although there is suspicion of a network bubble, it can also be seen that people value YAHOO, which is YAHOO's first award of the first business model of Internet profit.

This is the case for European and American enterprises, which attach great importance to pioneering companies. For example, apple, the founder of personal computers;

Yahoo is the founder of the Internet entry-level website portal and the profit model of Internet free "content + traffic + advertising", which has opened the door to Internet profit and pioneered the history of the Internet.

......

Li Feng winked at Yang Zhiyuan, David Philo and Tim, and then walked aside. All three came over.

"You guys, it seems that we still underestimated our Yahoo and muttered about our influence. Therefore, in the next negotiation, the valuation of RMB 500 million is tightly clenched, and we can't retreat too much even if it is concessions." Li Feng said to several people.

Sure enough, with Li Feng's voice just came, their eyes were bright. Yes, if Yahoo didn't have something they valued, these big guys wouldn't come.

Then they all smiled knowingly, nodded their heads for sure, and immediately accompanied a group of big men.
