Chapter 746

Wu Tao is not good at playing financial war.

But he was relieved to see that Molly was so keen on it.

Molly is in charge of the overall situation. He only needs to record a face-to-face meeting occasionally and have coffee and chat with Mr. Anderson, the founder of Netscape.

In addition, Wu Tao put more energy on the R & D team preparing for the campus network and blog.

After a day's running, the location of the new Internet technology company was set on the former site of a company not far from Tianxing game company on 101 Avenue.

In the days when the Internet bubble was rampant, almost every day, companies closed down in Silicon Valley.

The place Wu Tao liked was once a medium-sized company, and its share price soared to more than $40.

Now it is empty, and one main building and two auxiliary buildings of the company have also ended up selling at a low price.

After Wu Yingying took Wu Tao to visit, she carefully asked, "boss, will it be unlucky for this company to prosper and decline?"

Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid. The predecessor of Tianxing game company was a small bankrupt company. Isn't it developing very well now?"

In fact, this is also caused by the different environment and Humanities of the two countries.

Investing and building factories in China is mostly to achieve good luck and have a new atmosphere. In addition, the construction cost is relatively low, so many bosses choose to build their own factories.

In the United States, especially those engaged in the Internet, there is a garage that can engage in R & D. The investment obtained in advance will often be used to purchase blades such as servers, and will never be used to build factories and buildings.

However, the next day, when Bill Babbitt brought the people with his team, he was stunned.

"Mr. Wu, my boss, is this where the new company is located and where we will develop in the future?"

Wu Tao nodded and glanced at seven people except Bill. Except two Indians, the other five were white.

The number is still a little less than I expected.

Obviously, bill also realized it and explained in a series of surprised voices: "boss, I didn't expect you to invest so much in one fell swoop, so there are not many people this time. But I can guarantee that they are all senior programmers. "

So it's not hard to understand.

At least in terms of the number of people brought this time, bill should have used his head.

Without knowing Wu Tao's follow-up investment actions, it would be embarrassing if the new boss could not eat more people. On the contrary, if the number of people is small, it is also inappropriate. Because on the one hand, it seems that he has no influence. On the other hand, it is useless if he can't undertake the project development.

As a programmer dragged by bill, Jim Felman is a tall, thin white man with a beard.

He had already received a good offer from Microsoft. If Bill hadn't had a good relationship with him, he wouldn't have come here at all.

However, even so, he was a little disappointed when he saw Wu Tao's first face.

I'm an Asian Chinese, and so young!

Their country is so backward. How much do they know about the Internet industry?

However, when bill and Wu Tao decided that the location here was the new company in the future, Jim's eyes finally changed slightly.

Not only he, but also the other six people looked at everything around them with great interest and imagined their pride as the elders of the company.

Just then, Bill Babbitt pressed down his excitement and asked, "Mr. Wu, how much is your first investment?"

Wu Tao raised two fingers and said, "20 million dollars!"

Bill and his party were stunned and looked at each other. No one spoke.

Seeing this reaction, Wu Tao quickly added: "of course, if it's not enough, you can add it. At that time, my investment company will do all the investment and financial work of the company. You can apply at any time. "

Bill waved his hand again and again and said, "no, no, no, my boss, the first investment is so large that it has been considerable." Immediately thought and sighed, "it seems that I must go back and dig some more talents to come over..."

At this time, Jim suddenly interposed and asked, "Mr. Wu, for the product you are interested in, I think it is more like a developer product. It is expected that the market will be very limited. I'm afraid it is inconsistent with your large investment."

Wu Tao's eyes narrowed. The meaning of this goods is that he is a local old hat in the Internet industry. He doesn't understand anything and knows to throw money indiscriminately.

"Jim, may I call you Jim?" As soon as Wu Tao opened his mouth, he took out the momentum of the superior. After all, now is not a low-key time.

"... it is precisely because the products I currently use do not meet the expectations of the majority of target users that I hired you for development with a high salary."

"... if one day, when it is introduced to the market, it is still just a developer product, at least it means that your R & D work has not been done in place."

"... of course, if you bring out a product that I am satisfied with and the market response is poor, it will be my problem. In fact, I believe this will not happen. "

Jim stared at Wu Tao with blue eyes for a while, and then he recovered.

From these words, he could tell that the Chinese young man in front of him had a clear demand for the product he wanted, and was very confident in the future market prospect of the product.

In that case, that's enough.

Bill answered and asked, "my boss, have you come up with a name for the new company?"

"Yes, I think so." Wu Tao nodded. "How about skyscape, Tianjing Internet technology company?"

Bill's eyes brightened. "It clearly has something to do with Netscape. To some extent, it also makes it easy for his group to agree."

So far, skyscape officially came into being at 668 101 Avenue.

After seeing the territory of the new company and the wealth of the investment boss, Bill returned to netscape to dig people more smoothly.

Although people's hearts are floating these days, many people have got offers from Microsoft one after another.

Today's Microsoft is at its zenith, with huge profits, which is really a good place to go.

This is true for mediocre programmers.

However, programmers with a little skill at hand don't think so. They prefer to choose challenging jobs.

It's better to start first and suffer later.

So Bill took the opportunity to really dig a lot of good players with such encouragement and lobbying.

Bill's action was very fast. Finally, the number was fixed at 20. He has formed a capable technical team to complete a medium-sized software development project.

Moreover, Wu Tao respected his suggestion and approved everyone's offer without change.

In his plan, these can be seed players. On the one hand, they are the development team of the Intranet technology prototype, on the other hand, they are also prepared for the follow-up intranet and more local Internet R & D teams.
