My Age of Investment

  Chapter 739 Cooperation is frustrated

  The next day.

  Pebbles Beach Golf Course.

   With a crisp "bang", the white ball crossed a beautiful parabola and landed on the tender green lawn. Not far away was the vast and spectacular coastline.

   "Papa Papa~"

  Xia Jingxing was observing where the ball fell, and suddenly heard a round of applause from behind him.

   Looking back, he found that Yang Zhiyuan was walking towards him with a smile, followed by a caddy with a backpack behind him.

   "Daren, I haven't seen you for a few months, and my skills are getting better. You have to let me order later."

After    approached, Yang Zhiyuan smiled and shook Xia Jingxing's hand, then patted Xia Jingxing's shoulder affectionately.

  The two have known each other for several years, and they have cooperated and competed. Now they have almost let go.

  Of course, this is based on the growing strength of one party, which contributed to this situation.

  If you want to win respect, you must rely on your strength to speak. This is an eternal rule of social operation.

   "Oh, yes, I almost forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations to YouTube for completing Series A financing and Facebook for completing Series C financing."

  Yang Zhiyuan looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile on his face, with a sincere tone.

However, Xia Jingxing saw a trace of loneliness from his face. The reason is not difficult to guess. The market value of this once hundreds-billion-dollar giant fell to around 20 billion US dollars. Not only did he lose to Google, he was also surpassed by Facebook. .

  Seeing so many younger generations, the previous merger and acquisition options, one by one surpassed oneself, and beat the products launched by oneself, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to change.

  Xia Jingxing didn’t mean to show off at all, he showed restraint, smiled and nodded, "Thank you!"

  The two talked while walking forward slowly.

   "After completing this round of financing, Facebook's listing plan should also be on the agenda?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "I haven't made a corresponding plan yet, and the company is still losing money. Let's look at it in two years. Anyway, there is no shortage of money."

  Now that the competition between everyone is not big, he doesn't mind revealing the truth to Yang Zhiyuan.

  Yang Zhiyuan smiled, "If it is about to go public, let me know, I will use the pension money to buy some shares."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "How old are you, you are so young, just like me, you have a bright future."

  Yang Zhiyuan laughed loudly, “Dalun, it’s such a pleasure to chat with you.”

  Gossiping for a while, the two began to play.

After    hit the ball on the green, the two slowly walked over.

  "Daren, come on, what can I do for you?"

  Yang Zhiyuan knows that Xia Jingxing basically does not engage in useless social interactions. If he invites himself to play, it must be something to discuss, so he didn’t know what to do and went directly to the topic.

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Yang Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "Haha, Jerry, you have passed, what service is not available, I want to discuss cooperation with Yahoo for mutual benefit."

   "Oh, then I will be interested."

  Yang Zhiyuan stopped and looked at Xia Jingxing with his cue in both hands.

   "I'm making a mobile phone, you know?"

  Yang Zhiyuan nodded slightly, “I heard it, and many people are ready to see your jokes. They say that hardware is not better than the Internet, and you have no industrial experience, so it is easy to make a big battle.”

  Xia Jingxing didn't mind this, and even laughed.

  The number of people who make mobile phones is beyond count. There are not only domestic counterparts and opponents, but there are also many people who are not optimistic about his second business in Silicon Valley.

  With the increasing valuation and influence of Facebook, although he has retreated to the second line, there are still a lot of eyes on him.

  This also indirectly shows that he is in Silicon Valley, not too big or too young, but also an expert.

  "Do you think I can make a mobile phone?" Xia Jingxing smiled and looked at Yang Zhiyuan.

   "I believe you, you can definitely make a mobile phone."

  Yang Zhiyuan paused, and changed his conversation. “But the mobile phone industry has long been fixed. It is very difficult for you to make a **** road.

  Mobile phones are not comparable to the Internet. A large number of patent barriers are just a stumbling block, and your technology is not enough. You need to be mentally prepared to fight for ten years. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled but did not speak, not only Yang Zhiyuan, most people in this era dare not lightly stroke Nokia's tiger beard, in their opinion, making mobile phones is a dead end.

   "Okay, let's talk about cooperation, I want to build Yahoo mailbox in our mobile phone, and send and receive mail through mobile phone."

Yang Zhiyuan seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, his face was calm, and he said indifferently: "If you want to win the business mobile phone market by relying on the mailbox function, I advise you to dispel this idea, because BlackBerry has already done so in this market. Very powerful."

  Xia Jingxing spread out, “How can I know if I don’t try it? In addition to the mailbox, we will also seek breakthroughs in other functions.”

  Yang Zhiyuan smiled lightly. Anyway, he persuaded everyone who should be persuaded. It is Xia Jingxing's own business to listen.

   "No problem, I will greet the company's people, you can directly let your company's people come to the docking."

   "Haha, refreshing!"

   "Okay, let's continue playing!"

  …………

  …………

  The cooperation to win Yahoo went smoothly, but there was a little trouble with Google.

  In the coffee shop downstairs of Facebook, Marisa Mayer looked at Christina and Xia Jingxing who were sitting across from her, gently stirring the silver spoon in the cup.

  "I told Page about Darren's proposal, but he didn't give me any answer. Maybe he has his own consideration."

  The foreign girl looked at her "good girlfriend" and said with a smile: "Mayer, we have been good friends for so many years, you give me a bottom line, is Peppa still resenting us?"

Meyer stopped his hands and looked up at the foreign girl. "Maybe, your "good intentions" for rejecting Google were too decisive. Later, they dug up many of our advertising department elites, and then took us away. Many advertisers.

  For me, I might not forgive you so generously. "

   "But Android and Facebook are two companies!"

  The babes spread their hands, "Except for equity, Dai Lun has nothing to do with Facebook now.

  The built-in Google service in the mobile phone is also helping you to promote the market, which is very cost-effective for everyone. "

  Meyer gently shook his head, "Then I don’t know what he thinks, and it’s not easy to ask. You know, me and him are over."

  The foreign girl opened her mouth, and swallowed it back when she spoke.

  Her plastic sister has actually helped enough. For her commission, she also went to find her ex-boyfriend in private.

   Asking for more help is indeed a bit difficult.

   "Thank you, Meyer."

  Xia Jingxing finally spoke, smiling at the blond foreign girl in front of him.

  "Dalun, you don’t have to be so polite. Everyone is a friend. It’s just a matter of effort. It’s just a pity that I can’t help you."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I will leave the rest to myself."

  Meyer glanced at Xia Jingxing, who looked at her with a smile, not discouraged at all, but seemed confident.

   "Well, good luck to you."
