Compared with the white people in the United States, Chinese people prefer to work hard to shape a good interpersonal network, and are proficient in this to form a unique social culture.

Through word of mouth, many people already know that a young Silicon Valley rich man worth tens of billions of yuan will come to Tencent to inspect work recently. In their opinion, this is an opportunity. At the same time, they also envy Tencent for being able to easily attract investors and get tens of millions of dollars in financing from Ye Dongqing.

In recent years, it has not been easy for Internet companies to raise funds. Luck and opportunity are indispensable. In fact, many small companies should have a lot of prospects, but because of the difficulty of financing, they fell on the road to starting a business.

When the bubble collapses and waves roll, even Silicon Valley companies are not easy to obtain venture capital or financing, let alone Huaxia, because most of them do not have assets as collateral, it is not easy to even borrow from banks.

Sohu people, NetEase people, Sina people, etc. are all on the way to try their luck. They know how awesome Ye Dongqing is in Silicon Valley now, and how popular Facebook, Amazon and others are around the world. They hope to take the ride and seek some opportunities for win-win cooperation. If they really can't do it, they can get some money back. Almost every "big" company has some projects in their hands and needs funds to operate them.

In addition to Boni Ma, Ye Dongqing knows more about Jack Ma, but this Jack got 20 million US dollars from Japan's SoftBank Group last time. He has not spent all of this money. He is not short of money for the time being, and he has no idea to come to talk to Ye Dongqing. He is now busy and is preparing to start Taobao.

Speaking of this website, there are more or less shadows of eBay and Amazon. Just like Boni was inspired by the ICQ program and created OICQ, it is now a common practice for one of the earliest Internet merchants in China. Because of its small scale, it has no influence. Almost no one pays attention to this. Silicon Valley is eager for more netizens in China, naively thinking that if you can take root in other markets, you can take root in China.

eBay, Google, Yahoo and other companies are all staring at this area and setting their goal to enter China. However, Ye Dongqing knows that for some reasons, their prospects will be very bleak. In his opinion, directly investing in local Internet companies is the most correct way, and history has proved this to him...

Sohu's people come the fastest, and they are a deputy manager named Zhang Yang.

In order to find Ye Dongqing, his people started guarding the airport exit two days ago and followed all the way to the villa. It was a pity not to be a policeman.

As long as he gets help, there are many bosses who accompany him to the hospital. This kind of thing is nothing, it is already within the category of "smart". Last year, Boni Ma originally planned to merge with Sohu, but it was left alone. According to the news Zhang Yang received, it was because of Ye Dongqing that the merger was ruined.

It’s not that I want to beat him and take revenge. In fact, as the Nasdaq Internet sector gradually recovered over the past six months, Sohu’s stock price has risen by more than 30%. He should also thank Ye Dongqing, otherwise he would definitely lose a lot.

Sohu's current financial situation is pretty good. Relying on advertising can make some money, and user growth has also led to a rise in market value. It can be said that it is "thank you for not killing me." Now they hope that the market value can return to the level at the beginning of 2000, and even want to continue to compete for the throne of China's No. 1 Internet company.

They don’t plan to talk about the merger. In fact, even if Boni Ma now pays 200 million US dollars, they will not agree to sell their shares. After all, the market has rebounded and there is a potential for upward growth.

The reason why I came here was mainly to talk to Ye Dongqing about entering the United States and hope to reach cooperation with him. I have to say that these people still regard competition in the Internet industry as too simple, and they must have potential, but in terms of industry improvement and scale, there is still a big gap with the United States.

When Zhang Yang arrived, Ye Dongqing was still sleeping. After learning about this from the bodyguard, he said in fluent English: "It doesn't matter, keep letting him sleep. It's not too late to see him when he wakes up. It's not an important thing."

Knowing that disturbing the other person's sleep will only have a counterproductive effect. It is better to wait and spend a few hours to exchange for a good impression. The business is more likely to be negotiated. It involves so much money and it is worth it to spend a little time. It is not common for communication with a super rich American who has made a name for himself. Zhang Yang spent six years at Princeton University, and he has never met anyone during this period. Even if it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Drinking and bragging in the future will bring topics of conversation.

Ye Dongqing's bodyguard nodded and continued to stand at the door, wearing a black suit. Boni Ma immediately got the news of their visit from the main force. Although he was wondering how he found the house, he finally decided to leave it alone to avoid offending the boss of Sohu.

***************

It’s still too short to become famous, otherwise, with Ye Dongqing’s worth, the official should send someone to receive it, and at least he should show his face.

Most Americans have not heard of his name yet, and the Chinese media have not reacted. At least a few people know him. It is normal to be so dull. However, after suffering a little, Boni Ma learned to be smooth. While Ye Dongqing was sleeping, he visited the region chief and invited him to have dinner together. During this period, he praised Ye Dongqing and said that he was going to attract foreign capital to build online shopping malls, investing hundreds of millions of dollars, etc.

It was only 2004, and the money was still very valuable. Pengcheng was not the future Pengcheng. The district mayor agreed without saying a word. He was eager to invest in the more foreign capital, the better. Moreover, Tencent is now a celebrity company, and it is a celebrity company incubated under his own hands. Of course, he attaches great importance to it.

Ye Dongqing woke up and felt much better. According to the afternoon of New York time, it was already early in the morning. According to the original biological clock, he should still be asleep at this moment. The long voyage of more than ten hours also made him exhausted.

I changed my clothes and combed my hair and put on my shoes, and I heard a bodyguard voice coming from outside saying, "Boss, the car is ready, now go to the restaurant for dinner? How long will it take to pack it?"

"I'm already done, let's go now. You'd better buy a few breads with you. Most of them are not used to the dishes here, which is not in line with your eating habits." Ye Dongqing said.
