There was Mr. Chen before him and Baidu Li behind him. When the Internet companies around the world were still struggling because of the collapse of the previous bubble, half of their legs were still in the mud.
Chinese Internet companies seem to have found a guiding light. Especially when the bubble of the world's Internet companies burst in 2000.
Domestic Internet companies such as Sohu and NetEase have successfully listed on the U.S. stock market, and their stocks have been very strong in recent years. The U.S. stock market seems to have really become a blessed place for Chinese Internet companies to land and make a lot of money.
In this way, domestic Internet companies have become restless. Those who have opportunities have started to raise funds in various ways and burn money to increase their scale. It seems that as long as they can log in to the US stock market, they will be the next richest man.
In particular, Feixun Technology CC and Parkson Technology MM are two instant messaging software companies with huge users. They are also profitable companies in the fields of space, games, avatar shows, etc.
It seems that he directly saw the opportunity to block the YY blockade that was weighing on him and made him breathless. He understood that the United States was like seeing its own golden coast.
After all, just as the executives of Xuri Technology are worried, any discerning person from these two companies can see that if there is no way to break through YY's blockade.
Even though it is still in glory now, it has entered a state of chronic death. Therefore, they are not afraid to give up their equity to obtain financing and a passport to overseas. There is no psychological pressure on them at all.
But Xuri Technology obviously can't do this. After all, compared to these two companies who are struggling to survive, Xuri Technology is a precious porcelain.
Moreover, everyone knows that porcelain is expensive and precious. It is a big profit maker. How can it be possible to introduce domestic and foreign capital to share its cake?
Therefore, Feixun and Parkson, which are not as good as Rising Sun Technology at this point, strangely have an absolute advantage. This is undoubtedly a very speechless thing.
What makes people even more speechless is that the moon in foreign countries is really rounder than that in China. There is no way that the roundest moon in China belongs to YY and not to CC and MM.
Therefore, the second roundest moon in foreign countries seems to be extra round to these two companies at this time. After all, although instant chat software originated abroad.
However, the current foreign development in this area is simply lagging behind like the primitive era. MSN has not been updated for a hundred years, causing users to complain in various ways.
Facebook, which became popular in later generations, was just established last year. As for WhatAP and Twitter, which will also have many users in the future, they have not yet been established.
If foreign Internet companies entered the country in the past, it was like a shark entering a fish pond, relying on its big body to wreak havoc in the fish pond.
Now if CC and MM travel west to Europe and the United States, it will be as easy as a shark entering the sea. As long as the patent issue is solved, there is really no foreign instant messaging software that can beat them.
"Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs Venture Capital, International Data, SoftBank... are all wolves." After finishing the work in hand, he originally wanted to get off work, but Sun Yang sent another document at this time.
After taking a look at Yang Dongxu, the venture capital company that CC and MM had been in contact with recently, he couldn't help but rub his chin.
What are you afraid of? Baidu has just gone public and China's Internet companies have become hot again. As a result, before Baidu went public, so much capital was like sharks smelling blood, and they poured into the Chinese market in search of valuable products. prey.
Let’s not talk about whether these preys themselves have investment value or future potential. As long as they can make a lot of money by going public on the U.S. stock market, these venture capital investments will definitely not lose money.
This is the international capital that poured into the country before Baidu went public. Now that Baidu has directly released a nuclear bomb in the United States, more international capital will flock to the country in the future.
The main target of these large capitals is also clearly China's domestic Internet market, which is not good news for Yang Dongxu.
After all, the influx of capital will trigger many uncontrollable things. That's why Xuri Technology is so popular now and has so many high-quality industries in its hands.
One is indeed that Yang Dongxu has a sharp eye and can cut off everything in advance, and the second is that he is not short of money. Whether it's losing money or making money. As long as there is potential, he has the capital to support these projects.
In contrast, peers in other Internet companies have to worry about whether they will lose sleep when investing in a game project, and the money in their hands is broken into two halves. If you want to raise funds to expand the scale, you can’t find the funds by begging your grandfather and grandma.
But now, no matter whether this project makes money or not, and a lot of venture capital is investing in you, these people can finally stand upright and say: "I am not short of money!"
In this way, Yang Dongxu's competitive advantage is directly reduced by half. In addition, these peers are not all mud and can't support the wall. There are many high-quality industries.
Once these industries receive sufficient financial support, their development speed will definitely skyrocket, which will be a big challenge for Yang Dongxu.
"This Goldman Sachs is helping Lenovo with some acquisitions recently, right?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Yes, Goldman Sachs, as an intermediary, is helping Lenovo acquire IBM's PC business. We have been talking for a while and are ready to sign a contract." Sun Yang said.
"Isn't IBM's PC business cheap?" Although it is because of the previous Internet bubble and the fact that the U.S. Internet industry is only recovering and not yet prosperous.
The PC business is already a burden for the IBM Group, but this thing is indeed a good supplement for Lenovo. Moreover, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if it is IBM's burden, this thing is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"The specific negotiations are unclear. It is said that the final transaction price will exceed 1 billion US dollars." Sun Yang said.
"Can Lenovo afford it?" Yang Dongxu looked a little surprised.
"I'm sure I won't be able to afford it, and I'll probably need a loan. After all, Lenovo's current market value is around US$400 million to US$500 million. Even if it's sold at the lowest price of US$1 billion, the transaction price is twice Lenovo's total assets."
"It's a bit difficult to get a loan, isn't it? Why is it so different?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but be curious.
"Goldman Sachs is working as a mediator and has found several large international capitals. It said it would let Lenovo take out shares as collateral. It's probably not a big problem. Otherwise, there would be no news of a signing."
"The original acquisition was for expansion and better development. Is the mortgaged Lenovo still my Lenovo? After spending so much money to acquire this PC business, I took on a lot of debt. As a result, the company's major shareholder became someone else's. ....."
Yang Dongxu curled his lips speechlessly. This was an obvious move to eat a fat man in one bite.
However, Yang Dongxu can understand somewhat about Lenovo's current situation. After all, as the former leader in the computer business, Lenovo's position as the leader has been somewhat precarious in recent years.
The world's major computer manufacturers continue to enter the country, and shopping malls such as Computer City are popping up all over the country. Assembling machines have also begun to impact the original all-in-one machine market.
Lenovo has not had an easy time in the past two years. Seeing that the position of its boss is about to become someone else's, it is understandable to be anxious.
But Yang Dongxu shook his head and refused to comment on such a risk-all effort.
"Pay close attention to the news of CC and MM. If these two companies really get involved with these capitals and then land in the European and American markets, it will definitely be a trouble for us.
At the same time, the current patents related to YY and some game development, as well as those international patents that have not been registered, will be registered as soon as possible. "
"You want to take advantage of the other party's patent." Sun Yang couldn't help but ask.
"I can't stand it. I just want to collect some patent fees. Let's forget about the unclear things here in China. After all, YY is indeed too strong.
The higher authorities want to strike a balance. Although we are aggrieved, there is really no good way to deal with the lawsuit being dragged out. But if they still want to play this game internationally, my legal team is not a vegetarian. Yang Dongxu sneered.
But at the same time, he also looked helpless. There was no way that patents were originally a technical barrier, but no matter how bad they were, they were also a moat for enterprises. But such a moat is a bit ineffective for CC and MM.
Apart from anything else, if Yang Dongxu dares to use these patent cards CC and MM's neck, they will not be allowed to develop abroad.
There is no need for CC and MM to cry and make trouble and find people above to adjust, netizens alone can blast Yang Dongxu to death.
What kind of traitors and traitors are there? Shameless people who say grapes are sour when they can’t eat the grapes. They can’t bear to see domestic companies go global. They don’t help but drag them back...
In short, the ancestors have not been able to live in peace for eight generations, but in fact it is not Yang Dongxu's fault. But CC and MM are acting like gangsters and plagiarizing all kinds of things for free, and even scolding YY, an original, as a bully. Who are you going to talk to for reasoning?
So you don’t want to go out into the world?
Aren’t you willing to give up most of your shares to bring in capital?
Anyway, those capitals are not short of money, so just pay your patent fees.
Of course, this patent fee cannot be collected by Xuri Technology or Yang Dongxu. First register all the patents, and then package and sell these patents to a company controlled by the United States itself before CC and MM go global.
When the time comes to use this company to collect patent fees, CC and MM will still have to stir up trouble and criticize Xuri Technology.
Yang Dongxu can directly stand up and say that he has signed a transfer agreement with others. If he regrets it, he will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. If these two companies are willing to help pay the liquidated damages, they can use these patents at will.
Of course, for the sake of both Chinese companies, Xuri Technology negotiated with the other party through various efforts and even made certain compensation.
The decision to give CC and MM 20% off the convenience of using these patents can be regarded as helping domestic brothers save some costs and help them get started.
Then let’s see how the two companies continue to compete. I still want to have sex for nothing, and then surround Xuri Technology from the outside of the world, crush this original enterprise under me and ravage him.
It’s hard to say whether this scene will happen in the future, but now I’ll pay the toll!
Besides, the money does not belong to the two companies themselves, but to those who want to earn more venture capital. Yang Dongxu has no psychological burden at all when collecting the patent fees.
"Do you want to add some catalyst to the development of FAbook?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin again.
