"Hey, Zekai, why are you calling me when you have time? What, you came to the United States?" Feng Yu received a call from Li Zekai when he was studying how to cheat soft banks in the United States and discussing the investment in FB. Li Zekai knew that Feng Yu had come to the United States, so Feng Yu asked.
"My boss and I are planning to go there. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Hearing that Li Zekai's tone was serious and that he was also carrying Li Zeju, Feng Yu was sure that it must be a business matter. Li Zeju could almost represent Li Chaoren to a certain extent at this time.
"Well, okay, I'm going to Boston tomorrow and will come back the day after tomorrow. Is there any problem with the time?"
"No, it's time for the interview."
This time Feng Yu came to Boston again because Zach gave Feng Yu a reply and agreed that Feng Yu would invest 100 million US dollars in exchange for 85% of FB's shares. In other words, he recognized Fengyu Holdings Group's interest in FB. acquisition.
Their four co-founders, the other three each received 2%, and Zach Jr. himself received 9%. As for the specific conditions they negotiated, Feng Yu doesn't know and doesn't care. In short, these people have signed the contract and will continue to stay in the company and contribute to FB.
One hundred million US dollars today will not be worth much in two years. FB was able to become the world's top brand in its previous life, and it can do the same in this life, perhaps even easier.
In the previous life, FB covered many countries and regions in the world, with only the CIS and China regions, leaving FB completely helpless. With Feng Yu's help in this life, development will definitely be faster.
However, Feng Yu also has no intention of letting Facebook cover all countries in the world. There must be different social networking sites in the CIS countries and China, so that Facebook can avoid being suspected of monopoly and will not be forced to split up like Yahoo. .
After the split, although companies can still cooperate, there is still a big difference, just like the difference in hardness between ten scattered chopsticks and ten tied together.
Zach Jr. and his partners were very excited when they saw that Feng Yu came to sign the contract with them in person, and they were also full of confidence in the new company.
Although a supervisor was assigned to the company's finances and several managers were assigned, the positions of CEO and other senior executives still fell to Zach Jr. and others.
All four of them have also joined the board of directors, although there are nine people on the board of directors, and the chairman is Ralph, the vice president of Fengyu Holdings Group.
Kameda Masao was in the island country during this period, so everything on the American side was left to Ralph. Again, some burdens were placed on Ralph, but he enjoyed it.
The more positions he holds, the more he can earn. Those who serve as executives of a subsidiary are rewarded with shares of the subsidiary, which are more attractive conditions than salary.
For example, after Amazon goes public, the Amazon stocks that Ralph acquired will start to rise, and Ralph's net worth will also skyrocket.
If you cash out when the market reaches a high point, you will be able to get a large amount of cash. When the time comes to invest with your boss, will you still be able to make money
When Ralph learned that Kameda Masao had served as an independent director of Softbank, he was secretly happy. Frankly speaking, he thinks that his ability is slightly inferior to Kameda Masao, but Kameda Masao will definitely be too busy to be a senior executive of other companies.
The power of Fengyu Holding Group should be allocated more to him, right? Masao Kameda can continue to be president, but why can’t he, Ralph, be CEO? In many companies, there is both a president and a CEO, right
Moreover, like Wu Zhigang, Ralph was taught by Feng Yu step by step, and his acting style is very similar to Feng Yu. Moreover, Ralph has done a lot for Feng Yu and is more valued by Feng Yu. Naturally, he also has some ideas about salary.
"Boss, one hundred million US dollars is certainly not enough, right? It may be enough in North America alone, but if you want to expand abroad, it will definitely not be enough. And if you want to make a profit, you must develop some new paid applications. Wait, it's definitely not enough for them alone, right?" Ralph asked.
"The first phase of investment, US$100 million, is enough for them to occupy the North American market. And at the beginning, we did not plan to make them profitable immediately. After two years, we will raise funds for development, or we will continue to invest additionally. As long as we have a large amount of users, then it will be much easier to make money.”
In an Internet company, users are the most important. Without users, everything else is useless. And with a user base, even just advertising can make a lot of money. Coupled with some other value-added paid services, it is much easier to make money.
"Boss, let me introduce to you the recent situation of Amazon."
"Okay, you go ahead and I'll just listen."
Feng Yu glanced at Ralph. This guy was particularly attentive today. Of course he understood why, because Masao Kameda served as the director of Soft Bank.
In fact, Kameda Masao mentioned to Feng Yu that after two years of training, Ralph could increase his burden. Masao Kameda even mentioned that the CEO and president of Fengyu Holdings Group will be separated in the future.
Hajime Yagyu is getting older and has not been in good health in the past two years. Masao Kameda plans to serve as the president of aiwa concurrently, and then asks Hajime Yagyu to recommend a successor to the president.
Masao Kameda meant that from now on, he would be mainly responsible for the business in Asia, and the business in the United States would be handed over to Ralph. This would not only balance the power within the company, but also allow work to be carried out better and faster.
Although the potential of the company in the United States is huge, Fengyu Consulting, the subsidiary with the highest assets of Fengyu Holdings at this time, is in Xiangjiang, and it is also the company that the boss values most. Kameda Masao believes that this will not only make the boss trust him more, but also Can be closer to the boss.
Kameda Masao can take over the work in the United States at any time, but it will be difficult for Ralph to take over the work in Asia, so Kameda Masao knows very well that as long as he does not betray Feng Yu, then his status will be Will not waver.
After introducing the situation of Amazon, Ralph introduced the situation of ancient songs, and then introduced the situation of other industries. Even the situation of the Los Angeles Storm Team was introduced in detail.
"Ralph, please pay more attention to the company's European business recently."
Ralph's eyes lit up. Wasn't President Kameda always in charge of Europe? So, the boss is going to give him more power
Ralph asked hesitantly: "Boss, wasn't President Kameda responsible for those tasks before? Is there something wrong with him?"
Feng Yu looked at Ralph: "Problem? He doesn't have any problems. You mean, he served as a director of SoftBank. He only went there after I agreed to it. If you have served as an independent director in other companies, Without affecting your job opportunities at Fengyu Holdings Group, tell me and I won’t stop you.”
Ralph was moved beyond words by Feng Yu's words.
The plane took off and landed, and they returned to New York. Feng Yu looked out the window, what are the Li brothers doing here
