Vol 6 Chapter 561: consult

? To say that if there is anything bad about this Olympics, it is that the weather is a little better. There was no rain for many days. Most of the time, the sky was blue and blue, without a trace of clouds, and the weather was so hot that it made people feel like that. God, every asphalt road you walk on is a bit soft.

This is a rare experience in the summer in San Francisco.

Perhaps because of the uncommon high temperatures in Silicon Valley, Chief Yang seems to have been unable to lift his energy these days.

Did not participate in several activities, and did not accept an interview.

But after the car entered the Jiasheng business district, Chief Yang's wife Jingzi felt that her husband seemed to be more energetic.

"Do you think it's great here?" Chief Yang said.

Jingzi looked out the window and didn’t think there was anything special here. The main building was still a tall building not uncommon in this country. Because of the high temperature, the leaves of the trees beside the road were hanging down, even the grass in the lawn. They all seemed to curl up.

Oh, the greening of this park is great!

Although it is quite common for most campuses in Silicon Valley, it is very rare here.

Jingzi only inquired about the nearby land price, and suddenly felt that this piece really felt like the center of the universe.

In such a place, it is really extraordinary to take out so much space for greening.

But Chief Yang is not talking about this, "Look at them," he said, pointing to the people who came in and out of the building, "Is it very energetic?"

Those people who held their heads high and walked in a hurry reminded him of the few years when Yahoo was founded. They were confident and fearless, with only dreams in their eyes, and an infinitely possible future. They had no time to feel and feel the same. Experience, so I don’t care.

But now... he is envious.

Jingzi understood her husband's mood a little bit. Seeing that she was about to arrive at the destination, she arranged his clothes for him. Looking at the reporters coming out of the building who turned the camera around, she felt that this was even more necessary.

Chief Yang looked at the reporters who were running towards the car and said with a smile, "This is a level..."

When he got out of the car, he returned to his former style, smiling and waving at the reporters in the flashing lights.

But the subsequent events also surprised him. In the lobby, there were many young men and women shouting his name excitedly, all proud of being able to take a photo with him and get his signature.

Chief Yang was also extremely enthusiastic. Finally, when he shook hands with Feng Yiping who was welcoming him with a big smile, he really felt a little sour in his hands.

"Chief," Feng Yiping gave him a hug, "Welcome to come again,"

Chief Yang patted Feng Yiping's back twice, "Thank you!"

For anyone, a lot of things are not known until after they are lost.

For example, the reporters who flocked to the door just now, and the enthusiastic fans added to cheer, and those interviews that were not helpful at all but sometimes had to be accepted...

It seems that not long ago, these were the existences that he didn't care about, or were a little bored, but for this period of time, Chief Yang could not help but miss them.

Suddenly from the center of the spotlight, it was almost unattended. Such a cliff-like experience would really bring a strong sense of frustration by surprise.

Especially at this time, because there are reporters from all over the world gathered here, and many people who originally had similar status and status have never lacked the attention of flashlights.

Therefore, he appreciates Feng Yiping's arrangement.

When many people, including those who were very welcoming to him in the past, immediately alienated him, Feng Yiping was still so enthusiastic, which made him feel very warm.

Therefore, he felt closer to Feng Yiping.

A few minutes after going upstairs, he took Feng Yiping to sit down by the window and talked about his feelings these days.

"I still have to solemnly thank you for Yiping. If it weren't for you, I don't think my ending would be so good,"

It can sell Yahoo, which has a market value of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, at a high price of more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, and creates two years of opportunities for company employees to rearrange and plan their careers. From any point of view, this is considered a worthy one. It ended perfectly.

After experiencing the blow of the Internet bubble and a series of setbacks afterwards, although he still has confidence in the company he founded, he knew in his heart that if he wanted the company's market value to grow to more than 50 billion US dollars again, if With such a path, the difficulty of that path will definitely exceed my imagination.

Feng Yiping looked at Chief Yang. Although he said that the ending was good, there was no trace of happiness on his face. Instead, he was full of loneliness that could not be concealed.

This is probably the case when the beauty is late and the hero is white.

"Chief, I can understand how you feel,"

For an entrepreneur who has created the industry's glory, what good result can be considered if the company is sold?

This is of course the worst result.

But I have to say that, relatively speaking, it is a comfort to sell the company at a high price.

But for Chief Yang, that must be a comfort that will feel heartache when he thinks about it.

"Yiping, what do you think we did wrong?" Chief Yang asked.

To him, the scenes of Yahoo being regarded as a leader and guiding light by the entire industry still seem to have happened yesterday.

And the merger and acquisition initiated by Yahoo once also heated up related entrepreneurial fields.

How come suddenly in front of the younger generations, there is no strength to fight back, so you are completely devastated?

Think about it, whether it's the search for Google to become the top Internet high-tech company, or the social networking that made Feng Yiping the rising star of the Internet, as well as online video, those are the areas that Yahoo has pioneered.

For Feng Yiping, this is not an easy question to answer, because it is equivalent to talking about the shortcomings of his predecessor with someone who is always unforgettable.

But especially in this period, his predecessor is the most perfect time in his mind, that is, no matter what you say, the result will only be wrong.

The problem is, at such times, if you don't answer such questions, it will make people unhappy.

"Chief, you really embarrass me, I really can't answer this question,"

Chief Yang felt that when this person whom he cited as a confidant was a little unhappy, Feng Yiping said again, "From my personal experience, sometimes, it's really not that we did something wrong. We can only say that it is the timing. The problem,"

"Just like many companies that have suffered huge losses or are in a crisis of survival, strictly speaking, their current situation is not because they have done something wrong, because of similar work, they may have been in the past few years. Did, but did not encounter the current predicament,"

"The reason for the current dilemma is mainly because they encountered subprime mortgages," Feng Yiping added.

"A matter of timing, a matter of timing," Chief Yang murmured.

Feng Yiping’s explanation can be said to be in his heart. He recalled the decisions that the company had made. Many of those decisions were proved to be correct by others-such as spending a lot of money on online video sites. Mergers and acquisitions.

And, during the Internet bubble, the company's market value shrank significantly.

Yes, we didn't actually do anything wrong, it's just that the timing was wrong.

Of course, even though he also felt that this was the best explanation, he did not feel that he had no room for improvement.

Yes, he is very unwilling, so he hopes that he can create another career, but before that, he needs to make up for his shortcomings.

So he changed the question, "So Yiping, what do you think is the main reason for you to lead your company from success to success?"

Yahoo, once achieved an extremely brilliant success, but suddenly fell into the sand, but Feng Yiping’s company, after achieving remarkable achievements one by one, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is still at high speed. Growing up, to be honest, he envied it.

"I haven't summed it up yet." Feng Yiping lowered his head and thought, "If you want to say, my experience is that the more we are on the top of the mountain, the more we have to remember when we climbed. Time is not easy,"

He really felt that Yahoo's decline had a lot to do with the blind optimism after success.

For this reason, Yahoo is very sloppy in many aspects, especially in acquisitions, and can even be said to be somewhat random.

Since 1997, Yahoo has spent a huge amount of money on acquisitions, but the vast majority of them are really not even heard.

Few companies can afford such unscrupulous profligacy.

Especially, they are a little so obsessed that they think they can succeed in whatever they do, so they do everything. In the end, they are naturally sloppy.

"...Climbing..." Chief Yang repeatedly chewed Feng Yiping's words, suddenly lowered his head to cover his face...
