Leaving Shengdian Company, Cang Yaozu asked the driver to drive around Silicon Valley. This is the center of technology in the world. Every year, countless technology companies are founded here and closed down here.

When passing by Stanford University, Cang Yaozu looked carefully. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, a pair of good friends, should be developing a search engine. Of course, the search engine they developed at this time was not called Google. Well, the domain name is now in Cang Yaozu's hands, which made him very pleased. Will Google not succeed if it does not use this domain name? Of course no, Google will still succeed. However, those who can succeed will be a little paranoid and will always make various efforts to achieve their goals.

Is it despicable to register a domain name? Those deliberate registrations are quite despicable. For example, if you register a well-known trademark or brand in China, it is a very despicable behavior and will be sued. But if Cang Yaozu does this, it is not true. Who would know that he is registering?

Cang Yaozu just registered a lot of domain names, and there are no well-known trademarks or anything else. It’s just some Internet companies that are destined to rise in the future. There are more than 10,000 domain names. If you are rich and willful, what can you do?

The driver drove and continued to move forward. Cang Yaozu began to admire the Kinmen Bridge. The bay was beautiful. The Kinmen Bridge is a suspension bridge, which is very long and beautiful. It may have been the longest suspension bridge in the world before, but it is definitely not now. Cang Yaozu knew that the Akashi Strait Bridge in the Sakura Kingdom had been built, and that bridge was longer than the Kinmen Bridge. However, the Kinmen Bridge is still very beautiful. Cang Yaozu still remembers the Kinmen Bridge Battle in "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

The northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge connects Northern California and the southern end connects the San Francisco Peninsula. This suspension bridge is very shock-proof. Whether it is San Francisco or Sakura Country, the earthquake comes at will. The Golden Gate Bridge has passed the test of the San Francisco earthquake in 1989.

In the fog, the orange-red Golden Gate Bridge is looming and beautiful. In recent years, it has also become a famous suicide holy place, mainly because the bridge is tall, beautiful and famous.

"Well, go to the Oracle Arena to see the Golden State Warriors, and then go back?"

"Uh, boss, where is the Oracle Arena? The Golden State Warriors are in the Oakland Arena, and of course the Oakland Arena is renovated this year, so they are in San Jose this year, and in San Jose."

"Oh, oh, I heard that Oracle is going to name the Warriors' stadium, have they not reached a cooperation yet?"

"No, now it's called Oakland Arena? Boss, are you going to see the Oakland Arena or the Golden State Warriors team."

"Forget it, I won't watch it anymore. The stadium is not the same, and the team is not that." I was really out of interest, things are not good, and people are not good.

Cang Yaozu looked at the street scene outside the window and wondered whether to acquire the Clippers or the Warriors? The Warriors are close to Silicon Valley, and he may invest in many companies here in the future. The Clippers are in big cities, have good football markets, expensive teams, bad results, and are completely suppressed by the Zijin giants. This is a problem. Forget it, I don’t think about it. I don’t have the spare money now, so I’d better hurry up and make money.

Defengjie has agreed to Cang Yaozu's offer for hotmail. They took 20 million US dollars to make a profit, with an investment return of more than 40 times. This wave is a huge profit. Cang Yaozu gave the two founders of hotmai 5% of each at a discount of 2 million US dollars. They spent 76 million in cash and then invested 50 million US dollars. This time, the shares of the two people were not diluted, Cang Yaozu still occupied 90% of hotmail's shares.

The total expenditure of Hotmail's acquisition and capital injection totals US$126 million. Cang Yaozu hopes to build Hotmail into the absolute overlord in the email field through this acquisition and capital injection.

The company acquired 55% of Shengdian's shares for US$145 million and then invested US$200 million. Cang Yaozu now occupies 72% of Shengdian's shares. The total expenditure is US$345 million.

In less than a week, Cang Yaozu spent $471 million. There is another company in England that Cang Yaozu wants to acquire. This company is the ARM company in England. ARM was a terrible sight from 1990 to 1993, with an estimated US$30 million.

In 1993, they joined Nokia, and the development of GSM mobile phones instantly made ARM popular. According to Melissa's survey, ARM's current turnover is around 20 million pounds and its profit is around 2 million pounds. Now ARM is a bit of money and may not be willing to be acquired. They have launched a plan to go public in 1998. Even if it can be acquired, the price will not be less than 300 million US dollars.

In that case, the expenditure would be 771 million yuan, which is really a blessing for people to lose money. Melissa worked hard to raise more than 1.1 billion US dollars, which made Cang Yaozu spend a lot of money. Cang Yaozu also left 100 million US dollars for Shanyao Technology for some daily affairs, patent purchases and music copyright purchases. As for Cang Yaozu's promise to several universities, there is no movie yet, so they can only let those promises float for a while. Fortunately, it was agreed that they would donate in installments.

Speaking of music copyright, Ge Liqin led her professional team to negotiate with several major record companies for several rounds, and finally achieved the following cooperation:

1. Online listening authorization: The five major record companies allow Yamaoke to use authorized songs for online listening. The first audition is free, and the second audition is paid for, each time of 0.2 US dollars, and the five major record companies charge a 30% fee as the music copyright fee.

2. Downloading authorization for mobile phones and other non-computer hardware: Authorized songs are not allowed to be downloaded to computers through the Internet, but songs can be downloaded to mobile phones and other hardware listening products through the Internet. Shanyao Technology should do its best to ensure that song resources will not be easily used for illegal dissemination. The fee for each song downloaded to non-computer hardware products is not less than US$0.9, and the five major record companies charge a 30% fee as music copyright fee.

3. Special authorization for mobile phone ringtones: Shanshan Technology is allowed to use authorized songs for mobile phone ringtones. The ringtone part must not exceed one-third of the length of the song. Each song can produce multiple ringtones. The song ringtone authorization is exclusive authorization, with an exclusive authorization period of 15 years. Shanshan Technology pays a fee of 20,000 US dollars per song for this exclusive authorization. Each record company can designate 50 new songs as special authorization songs each year, and the designated song authorization fee is US$100,000 US dollars per song. The authorization fee for old songs in the song library is US$10,000, and 50 special authorization songs can be designated for every 1,000 US dollars per song, and the fee is US$50,000 per song. If other companies need to authorize songs as mobile phone ringtones, they must negotiate the authorization fee with Shanshan Technology. The re-authorization fee belongs to Shanshan Technology during the authorization period, but the authorization deadline for re-authorization songs is the same as that of Shanshan Technology.

However, Ge Liqin's team talked about these three main terms for nearly a month before it was concluded. This agreement will be signed in January next year. According to the agreement, Shanshan Technology will pay nearly 600 million US dollars, and there will be tens of millions of dollars in new song authorization expenditure every year. Fortunately, Ge Liqin has won two discounts for Shanshan Technology. One is to pay the annual new song authorization fee in the first quarter of the following year. The old song authorization song has a one-year payment grace. After all, there are many songs in the song library, and delivery will take a process. This is also the reason why the agreement will be signed next year. This agreement stipulates that the liquidated damages are 20 times the contract amount.

But you have to pay later, and if the contract is signed, Cang Yaozu can't escape. There are not many mountainside technology profit projects, and this cost cannot be afforded and Cang Yaozu needs to solve it. Well, you don't have to worry about too much debt. You will only need to pay the fees at the end of next year. There is no hurry at all now. Let's continue to spend money. This world is boring, and only spend money can you get pleasure.
