Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 65 LinkedIn News

…

"Boss, this is the information about Juji Company sent by Mr. Moritz."

The next day when Guo Shouyun arrived at the office, Wendy put a thick stack of faxes in front of him.

"Tell Moritz that I have the funds ready. After he signs the contract, I will transfer it to Phoenix Capital's account." Guo Shouyun glanced at it and nodded.

"Yes!"

"Also, ask Tim to come up in two hours!" After explaining, Guo Shouyun waved.

After answering, Wendy Solo turned around and walked out.

Opening the information, Guo Shouyun watched intently. As a result, the more he looked at his brows, the more he frowned, and the strength of Juji Company exceeded his expectations.

Not only does it have its own wafer fab, packaging and test facilities in Milpitas, California, but it has also established its own independent associates in RB, Europe and Canada, expanding its business globally. Now, this company, which went public in 1983 with a value of US$135 million, has become a Silicon Valley technology giant with a market value of nearly US$800 million after more than ten years of development.

If Guo Shouyun goes all out, the acquisition of Juji is not hopeless. However, it is obviously unwise to give up the huge gains brought by shorting Enron for an opportunity to get involved in mobile phone chips in the future.

Shaking his head, he kept the information on the table and started pacing in the office in a fidgety mood.

"Do you want to give up?"

After a moment of silence, Guo Shouyun, who frowned, was still unable to make up his mind. The connection between 3G and 4G is too close. In later generations, Huawei, Samsung, and Apple are so good that they can't get around Qualcomm's patent barriers, which shows the problem.

MediaTek's chips rely on the CDMA authorization obtained from VIA to develop a series of full Netcom mobile phone chips based on the CDMA series, which are suppressing Samsung and Huawei, occupying 20% ​​of the global mobile phone chip market. This is tens of billions of dollars in revenue, billions of dollars in net profit, and huge industry influence.

Every time he thinks of this, Guo Shouyun's heart is swaying.

After walking back and forth in the office for more than half an hour, his eyes couldn't help but focus on the Juji company information on the table again. Go over and pick it up, calm down and read it over and over again, hoping to find some loopholes or opportunities that you can drill.

Nearly an hour later, Guo Shouyun, who frowned, showed a thought in his eyes.

"Maybe try it!"

Touching his chin, after thinking about it, a firmness flashed in his eyes. Then he got up quickly and picked up the phone on the desk.

"Let Nicholas come to my office!"

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

With a 'squeak', the tempered glass floor bounce door was pushed open, and a middle-aged Chinese man in a dark blue suit, about thirty-six or seven years old, with a serious expression stepped in.

"boss!"

Looking at the head of the M&A team that he had dug over from the ***** M&A department with a high salary, Guo Shouyun pointed to the sofa opposite him.

"sit!"

Qin Zhicheng, English name: Nicholas Qin. In the early 1990s, he studied in the United States and stayed in the United States after obtaining a Ph.D. in financial engineering from Princeton.

"Look at this information!"

"The boss wants to acquire Juji Electronics?" Qin Zhicheng said in surprise after reading the complete document.

"No, to be precise. I'm only interested in the CDMA R&D department of Juji Electronics and the CDMA patents in their hands." Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly.

Here's a workaround he came up with. Since the overall acquisition of Juji Company is not worth the loss, it is an acceptable consideration to only acquire the CDMA patent and R&D department in its hands. Moreover, Juji's business focus is on ASIC series products, as well as the manufacture, packaging and testing of semiconductor chips. CDMA is not the core business. This is also a matter of course. Although Qualcomm has granted Juji a series of patents around CDMA in order to avoid anti-monopoly investigations, it will not cultivate a strong competitor for itself.

"CDMA?"

"That's right! You can contact Juji for me to see if they have any intention of selling the CDMA R&D department and patents. If so, you will formally represent me to acquire it, if not...!" After hesitating for a while, Guo Shouyun shook his head slightly, "Forget it!"

"clear!"

"Dong dong...!"

The knock on the door rang again.

"Please come in!"

"Boss, Mr. Tim is here!" Wendy Solo pushed in the door and said.

"Let him in!"

When Guo Shouyun finished speaking, Qin Zhicheng also stood up, "Boss, then I'll leave first!"

"Hmm!...By the way, bring this information and go back and have a look!"

Qin Zhicheng nodded and left with the information about Juji Company on the table.

At the same time, Tim George also walked in.

"Boss!"

"Tim, you gave me some good news last week. LinkedIn has 7 million registered users and over $1.2 million in revenue. This achievement has far exceeded my expectations for LinkedIn. Your credit is indelible. "Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"This is because the business model designed by the boss is good enough, especially the launch of the 'recommendation letter' program, which has caused an explosive growth in the number of registrations on our website!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "LinkedIn is a professional social networking site. The more registered people, the richer the content, the better for our development. Therefore, the construction of blogs and forums should be strengthened. In addition, the management of content should not be slack. Emphasize the professional social nature of LinkedIn, and any non-professional life entertainment content cannot be published in the forum. Once it appears, it must be forced to clean up.”

"I see!"

"Well!... By the way, I have a plan here for you to give to Martin, and let him organize the people in the development department to perfect it in the shortest possible time!"

With that said, Guo Shouyun got up and took out a prepared document from his drawer and put it in front of Tim George.

"LinkedIn News?"

Looking at the title on the title page, Tim George said in surprise.

"Yes, in the lower right corner of the LinkedIn homepage, a 2*3-inch pop-up window has been developed to release the hottest news of the day by time period!" Guo Shouyun nodded.

"Will this affect the user experience of the website?" Tim George frowned slightly.

"There will be an impact, but we want to minimize the impact. Therefore, we should limit the number of pop-up windows to once every two hours, and automatically hide them after 10 seconds. If users are interested in news, they can click the pop-up window. It will automatically jump to the home page of the news content."

After nodding clearly, "In this case, is LinkedIn News going to develop into a portal like Yahoo?"

"No, we don't do portals, just news!" Guo Shouyun emphasized.

The content of the portal site is too much, too cumbersome and too complicated. It's hard to stop and browse. In the PC era, he preferred personalized news websites such as "Observer" and "Tiger Sniff".

"...Also, because of LinkedIn's website attributes, when doing news, the content of the report should focus on the professional field, and the content of life and entertainment can be included, but not more than 30%. Also, the homepage should be set aside 2~3 A sector for digital advertising. After all, we also need to make money.”

"clear!"

"Is the company's funds enough?" Guo Shouyun nodded and asked.

"If you count the revenue, it should be able to last until the end of next year! But once the internationalization strategy is launched, it will not be enough!" After a pause, after a little hesitation ~ www.wuxiahere.com~ boss, someone from a venture capitalist has looked for it us! "

"Oh?" Guo Shouyun said with great interest, "Who is it? When?"

"Three days ago, it was De Fengjie!"

"De Fengjie!" Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly. He was no stranger to this world's top VC.

"What conditions did they give?"

"$20 million, 20% stake!"

"In the current environment, this condition is a bit sincere. But we are not short of money, let's refuse!"

Tim George nodded, not surprised by Guo Shouyun's answer. Now the boss is a famous best-selling author. With the popularity of books such as "Fantastic Beasts", "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", he does not lack funds.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. ... Take this plan! Remember, develop it as quickly as possible."

Tim George stood up, "Boss, then I'm taking my leave!"

"it is good!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, got up and sent him out. Returning to the office, checking the time, picking up the coat on the hanger next to him and putting it on, he pushed open the door and walked out.

"Wendy, I'm going out. You don't have to follow me, call me if you have anything!"

"But...!" Looking at Guo Shouyun who was striding away, Wendy Solo frowned and had to stop. After so long, she felt that she had no charm in front of Guo Shouyun.

Guo Shouyun didn't know what Secretary Qiao was thinking, so he drove out of the office building to downtown San Francisco, and quickly stopped in front of a store with the capital "PARIS" hanging on it.

After getting out of the car, I stood in front of the door and looked at it briefly, then walked in.
