Wall Street Legend - Chapter 409

   Chapter 409 listing plan

  At the annual meeting before Christmas this year, the list of the first batch of employees who are eligible for free points and low-cost housing will be announced. Ye Dongqing is just free today, so let’s take a look in advance.

By the second quarter of next year, ordinary apartment-style houses can also be delivered for use. Employees of several companies only need to pay very little rent and daily management fees to enjoy relatively good living and living facilities, schools, hospitals, The sports facilities are all under construction, and a golf course may be built next to it in the future, just like a satellite town of Santa Clara.

  As the scale of the industry expands, the number of employees in Silicon Valley is also increasing.

It’s okay for those who are alone, and some with families can only separate the two places for the sake of rent and children’s education. After that, many people will be able to settle here. The scale and quality of the private school are likely to rank in the The top 50 in the United States has been jointly built with many famous schools.

  These are considered employee benefits, and some bosses have the strength to do so, but they are afraid of trouble and don’t want to pay too much for their employees.

And Ye Dongqing hopes that they can find a sense of belonging in their own company. By the way, it is also a big deal, because of the high salary and high benefits, and the promotion system in terms of positions is more reasonable. The management system has become a popular enterprise for headhunting companies to worry about.

After spot-checking several buildings, they felt pretty good, and Ye Dongqing ordered: “Take some time, post an announcement in those companies, let them come and have a look at some houses, especially the middle and low-level managers, tell them that as long as they work hard There may be these in the future.

  Executive officers, financial officers, operating officers and other high-level houses get bigger houses, right? Where are those villas? “

   There are many people standing around.

The project supervisor responsible for the construction project told him: “The location is better than here. It is located on a small hill, and those on the top can see the San Francisco Bay. The area is about twice as large as these, and the front and rear gardens are also larger. Shall we go and have a look?”

  The house, no matter how beautiful it is, can it compare to those of Ye Dongqing’s own?

Just take a look, but the smell left by the decoration made him feel uncomfortable, so he said casually: “Forget it, I want to visit the school and shopping malls, when will the investment promotion work start? It doesn’t need to be high-end, it can satisfy people I heard that with the help of this project, some surrounding land has already been taken over by developers?”

“It’s almost like this. Nvidia is in Santa Clara. It is said that Apple may also move some of its business here. Coupled with Intel, it is very suitable for building high-end apartments, and the price is more expensive than Palo Alto, Menlo Park. Wait for the area to be lower. In the south, a community with about 300 houses will soon be built. The developers have come to discuss with us about the school. They hope to open up the entrance threshold so that children in their community can also have the opportunity to attend school .”

   The speaker was a middle-aged Jew sent by Danshui Investment Group to oversee the project.

Ye Dongqing thought for a while and replied: “Yes, but the tuition fee may be slightly higher. There must be children of company employees, as well as external students. Let’s communicate with each other. After an employee leaves in the future, the children You have to transfer to other schools as well, these should be taken into consideration.”

  No one would care when someone said something, but he was different. The person in charge even took out a small notebook and wrote it down.

One of the reasons why Ye Dongqing doesn’t like socializing very much recently is that he receives too much praise and flattery wherever he goes, as if he is not an ordinary person with flesh and blood because of his money. He doesn’t like that, or he hears too much , After watching too much, I already feel bored, but it was pretty good at the beginning.

   I took some time and went to the shopping malls and schools that were nearing completion.

According to the person in charge, the investment promotion work has been almost done. There are cafes like Starbucks, and there are also retailers specializing in furniture. Wal-Mart feels that the market here is too small and is not willing to open a store. Instead, it is Carrefour, which is large enough to meet people’s needs. Daily needs, not far from bigger supermarkets.

  Looking at it this way, it is estimated that living here will be more comfortable in the future. Basically, there are no major problems to be found, and this is enough.

  ********

  The boom in the Internet industry is once again on the rise.

  In 2000 and 2001, funds were continuously withdrawn, and now they are rushing in again. While the valuation and market value of many companies are rising, Ye Dongqing’s worth is also constantly being pushed up.

As the unlisted Internet company with the highest market capitalization in the world, Facebook has always been the focus of investors’ attention. Currently, it has more than 600 million registered users worldwide and more than 390 million frequently used accounts. It is estimated that There is certainly a bubble in the value, but it is relatively small, because Facebook can indeed make a lot of money, mainly through the advertising business.

   In comparison, the number of users of another company is not low, but it has not found a good profit growth point until now.

Whatsapp, since ICQ has gradually fallen behind, is another social giant that has just risen. Like Facebook, all the shares are in the hands of Ye Dongqing. With more than 200 million users worldwide, the latest valuation is as high as 7.5 billion US dollars , A total of 23 brokerages made this quotation, but it is a pity that Ye Dongqing has never been willing to raise funds or go public, and the valuation is just a valuation.

how to say.

The company’s rise was too smooth. With the user resources accumulated by Facebook, it only took three months for the number of users to exceed 40 million, and then it skyrocketed all the way. After launching the video communication business, it was even more prosperous. Voice-messaging technology has also been launched, and there are currently no strong competitors.

   It was because the development was so smooth that Ye Dongqing seldom paid attention to it. With just over 400 employees, such a huge market was supported, and it hardly took any effort to manage it.

This trip to Silicon Valley, Ye Dongqing is also to announce a big news – he is going to let Whatsapp go public first, and the initial offering time is set by him in January next year, mainly because he has been holding back his energy not to go public, which has caused some people in Washington There are some negative voices under the impetus of the company, and it is also because the company’s profit scale is limited, and it is estimated that there will be no major improvement in a short period of time if it continues to be in the hands of the company. Instead, it will continue to consume funds for market expansion.

  After half a year since Tencent went public, it will be the second company hatched by Ye Dongqing to go public. Facebook will probably go public next year. It’s not that it can’t support it anymore. Facebook’s own money is enough to maintain operations.

It’s just that after reaching this scale, the room for growth has gradually become smaller. It’s better to cash out some money and use it to continue investing in other places. In addition, it can also reduce the debt pressure of Danshui Investment Group, and use the money to do things that Ye Dongqing wants to do more .

The news has not been released yet, and other people don’t know yet. Ye Dongqing has thought about this matter more than once, and the conclusion is that it can be listed now. Don’t forget that there will be a lock-up period ranging from half a year to a few years. The stocks in his hands must be worth more at that time…
