What is a party?
For ordinary people, it’s just eating, drinking, having fun, for Cadillac car owners, it’s a warm-up before going to the city to wash their feet; If you want to do business, find someone to pull the line.
After Tang Dao finished talking with Valentine, he just sat like this, and his table was the head table!
Including Apple Jobs, Atari Bushnell, Oracle's Ellison...
They are all giants. At this time, Atari had just released a game console that could be online at the same time, which occupied a large market share. Micro-management, which fell directly from the cloud, was beaten by Nintendo in the market and cried. I am afraid that it will be sold soon.
Tang Dao stared at the somewhat mellow Bushnell, thinking, should he buy it then?
Atari's program development is also the world's leading!
Of course, he was looking at others, and others were looking at him.
Most of the people here are in their early forties, and they are all successful people. They were very proud to be on the rich list when they were middle-aged.
Moreover, everyone sitting here knows what he does, and you can't be tough with him.
A $20 billion arms dealer? !
Even if there is water in it, it can drown more than half of the people in this clubhouse.
His position is very eye-catching. Tang Dao looked calm while sitting, holding a wine glass in his right hand, toasting to the bosses who were looking at him, and the atmosphere was considered harmonious.
"Mr. Nicholas, do you have a large stake in Yang's company?" Ellison didn't think so much when he sat next to him, and he was very active in communicating with him, but when he spoke, he was an old capitalist. Looking at him with bright eyes, "Are you interested in continuing to raise funds?"
Tang Dao shook his head, "It's not up to me to decide, you should ask Yang, he is the president of Yahoo."
His football skills are getting better and better. Ellison is obviously not very satisfied with this answer. Oracle is a product of the Internet, which makes him very optimistic about the Internet. He believes that the future world belongs to the Internet and intelligence, and Yahoo will definitely be in this history. Write a thick and colorful article on it.
He didn't give up and wanted to continue talking, the most important thing was that others asked him to.
Tang Dao spoke first, "I have some money on hand, I don't know if Oracle still accepts financing?"
"??"
"The North American market is saturated enough. You need to look outside. The base of the Asian market is the future. If you wait for other companies to join, I'm afraid... you will lose the initiative."
Ellison has foresight and foresight, of course he knows, but there is not much money left in his hand to "explore", and the market needs to be invested with money. Like the later takeaway three musketeers, hundreds of millions of funds are spent every day , In the end, the billions are just floating in the water, and the farther to the end, the less valuable the money is.
Market share is not a priority, but it is not so easy to get it back.
Like "Transsion", the king of mobile phones in Africa!
Sequoia Capital and other investors are unwilling to invest more money in him. The most important thing is that they don’t think that if so much money is spent, the final return will be geometric growth. There are even professional institutions evaluating that Oracle has reached its peak. , It is difficult to raise the ceiling again, unless there are some inventions that can change the industry. Of course, capital is gambling, but it is impossible to add unrealistic to the gamble.
Therefore, Valentine refused to reinvest.
So someone came to him at this time, hoping that he could tell Tang Dao to let him give up some shares in Yahoo. At that time, Ellison could get an investment, but the **** thing is that Ellison didn't know Tang Dao at all , I can only take the opportunity of this party to bite the bullet and ask, who knows that I was asked back.
"How much can you give?" Ellison asked.
Tang Dao laughed, "There is no such thing as a business talker, how many shares can you sell, we have to work it out and talk about it, make an appointment, find a good lawyer, and have an afternoon tea together."
Ellison also felt that he was right. This business requires slow work and meticulous work. He nodded, "Then I will arrange it."
The two exchanged business cards, and after that, Ellison stopped bothering him.
The party is actually very simple, it is Jerry Yang's speech. This time it is an announcement meeting before Yahoo's listing. The reason why so many people can come is because of the shares, and Mr. Tang Dao, who is worth tens of billions. This hand has already received business cards from many people, and everyone hopes to have business contacts with him.
Wall Street has never excluded capital.
He was the busiest at the party. People kept coming up to toast. After a few sips, he was still a bit smart, but his mouth was still very rocky. Many people wanted to get some wealth out of his mouth, but they were all caught Hit a haha and passed.
The party didn't end until after nine o'clock in the evening.
When Tang Dao was about to leave, Valentine came over and leaned into his ear and said, "I can give you news as soon as tomorrow."
"Looking forward to your good news." Tang Dao nodded with a smile, it was a bit nauseating, the alcohol was too stimulating, Valentine patted him on the shoulder, "If everyone earns money, no one will target you, a strong elephant will The day when a hunter came to his door."
He just dropped this sentence and left. This can be regarded as a piece of advice from the senior.
But Tang Dao has long understood that capital never needs to fight alone!
After Valentine left, Jerry Yang approached him again, and the first thing he said was asking for money, "Boss, I hope to invest another 70 million US dollars. I need a strategic layout."
Give!
Tang Dao seems very angry, as long as the investment company gets up, he can legally raise funds and then invest in Yahoo.
He was sure Valentine would agree!
No, it should be said that the consortium behind him will definitely agree.
…
Jack Kennedy was excited.
He finally negotiated with Valentine that more than 10% of the shares in his hand will be transferred to the other party. That's it!
But Jack thinks, even if Yahoo can go public, it won't be much, at most tens of millions? The family does not need this little money, they need a resurgent ally, and he also got what he wants. Valentine said that he has received the kindness of the Kennedy family, including the Jews behind it, and he will definitely receive it.
Use tens of millions of dollars, which is impossible to follow, in exchange for support.
Jack thought he had earned it!
At least he thinks so.
Standing in the distance and looking at Tang Dao, after lowering his head and thinking for a while, he said to Charlie beside him, "I'm leaving first, I'm a little tired."
Charlie was taken aback, "Aren't you waiting for Mr. Nicholas to go with you?"
Jack shook his head, "I'm a little too tired, so I won't wait for him."
Looking at the back of him leaving, Charlie always felt that something was wrong, this Jack seemed to be a different person, no! It should have become more thoughtful. After all, it is also a family that has been responsible for several times. Now it is unacceptable to be trapped in Boston.
But Charlie didn't think it was a good choice for him to leave the consortium.
Still too immature, I always thought that capital would choose to cooperate with you...
Why can't people use you and then abandon you?
