Chapter 507 Cleaning Twitter (two in one)

On the morning of August 17, Professor Qin Xianglin set off and returned to China and flew directly from San Francisco to the Demon Capital.

This time, Professor Qin helped Gao Yang and others a lot of money. After two weeks, he was still willing to accept a reward of 500,000 US dollars.

After seeing off Professor Qin, Chen Lan and Wu Fei accompanied Gao Yang in the southern area of ​​Palo Alto to consult with developers to customize manor-style villas.

The entire Palo Alto is not big, with about 60,000 people living in it, of which nearly one-third of the Asian population.

The southern area of ​​Palo Alto is the area where the rich are most concentrated.

Gao Yang budgeted 18 million US dollars, Wu Fei and Chen Lan budgeted 15 million US dollars, and the developer recommended the location near the coastline park to the east of the hotel, where you can customize a sea-view manor villa.

Gao Yang and his party went to see the environment. It was really beautiful and satisfied. They simply chose a custom villa in this area, but the price was really expensive.

Gaoyang's budget covers an area of ​​about 2.5 acres, which is 15 acres. Wu Fei's family's budget covers an area of ​​2 acres, which is equivalent to an area of ​​more than 12 acres.

Finally, I visited this area for a long time and selected two pieces of land next to each other.

Gao Yang and Wu Fei and his wife were both very straightforward and signed a contract with the developer in the afternoon. Now, for Wu Fei and his wife, 15 million US dollars is not much money.

For Shao Hanyun, Lin Yunjiao and Yang Ming, it is really rich to spend 10 or 20 million US dollars to buy luxury houses in a beautiful city like Palo Alto, with a pleasant climate.

The most shocking thing is Yang Ming, the lifestyle of the rich and the happiness after success, really makes people live.

Yang Ming also imagined that one day he would buy a villa in this comfortable and beautiful city.

Wu Fei drafted another power of attorney and asked Gao Yang to sign the sea view manor villa, the following design and construction matters, Wu Fei and Chen Lan, helped to stare at it, and communicate with the developer.

Back at the hotel, Gao Yang called Shao Hanyun alone to his room and introduced:

"Hanyun, I have completed most of my work in the United States this time. This weekend, I will exchange my next development plans for Android and Twitter, and I will set out to return home next Monday."

Shao Hanyun smiled and said, "Brother Yang, if you are pregnant, I won't advise you to stay longer."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Hanyun, let me tell you one thing. This time we shorted subprime mortgages and gained a lot. We made more than 20 times in half a year. The net investment income of Android companies is close to 2 billion US dollars."

"ah……"

Shao Hanyun was shocked and was so shocked that he couldn't speak easily: "Brother Yang, you are too... too... too harmful..."

Gao Yang smiled slightly: "Hanyun, it is normal to seize a rare opportunity in the financial market. Such short-term returns are normal. Next year, there should be a good opportunity here on the US stock market. At that time, the funds you can free up will be injected into the Titan Fund and invested in the long term."

Shao Hanyun asked: "Brother Yang, can I tell Dorsey about the big profits of Android's investment in Titan Fund?"

Gao Yang said: "Can you guarantee Dorsey is tight-lipped?"

Shao Hanyun said: "Brother Yang, Dorsey admires you very much. I think he will keep it secret."

Gao Yang asked again: "How are the three of them getting along now?"

Shao Hanyun shook his head: "Brother Yang, I feel that Williams has always been an unstable factor. Dorsey is tough now, and Stone also supports his work.

However, Twitter's development speed suddenly accelerated and its prospects were promising. Williams expressed some intentions to try to dominate and even regain control of the company.

Williams recently had private contact with two VC institutions. Dorsey and Stone had a dispute with him. However, considering the company's stability, Dorsey still did not pursue the matter again.

Among the three of them, Williams held the most shares. Dorsey and Stone had some concerns, but they still wanted to unite and were unwilling to have a breakup.

Williams is a man who is indeed capable at work.”

Gao Yang said: "Hanyun, this is why I have never arranged for Twitter to invest in US stocks and subprime mortgages like Android.

Android has invested $4 million in Twitter in the form of VC, and next year, Twitter will need to raise funds again.

Before this, the best way is to wait until your A-share funds are in place, and you will find a way to take over at least 50% of Williams' equity.

Twitter's current valuation level should be between 35 million and 40 million US dollars, and Williams holds 23% of the shares, worth more than 9 million US dollars.

We must strive to receive at least 12% or 13% of the equity from him, and we can budget 6 million US dollars, giving him a premium that is difficult for him to refuse.

Williams will either be marginalized or be eliminated. This matter requires the cooperation of Dorsey and Stone."

Shao Hanyun asked: "Brother Yang, do you need to talk to Dorsey and Stone?"

Gao Yang said: "Do you think it's appropriate to talk to them about this now?"

Shao Hanyun thought for a while: "I'll communicate with Dorsey tonight. If I can convince him, you can talk tomorrow."

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

Shao Hanyun said goodbye and left, went home to prepare supper, and notified Dorsey to go home directly after get off work.

At 6:30 pm, Dorsey returned home with a little fatigue, and Shao Hanyun immediately handed over a steamed hot towel.

"Hanyun, you are so good." Dorsey wiped his face, his eyes full of love.

Shao Hanyun smiled gently: "Let's have a meal, I've made the braised beef you like."

Dorsey said: "You are pregnant and can't be so busy. We want to hire a nanny right away."

Shao Hanyun smiled and said, "Jack, don't worry, I haven't started to have morning sickness yet. You can find a babysitter slowly and choose a suitable one."

The two sat down to have a meal, and Dorsey was already skillful in using chopsticks.

Shao Hanyun picked up two pieces of beef for Dorsey:

"Today I will accompany Brother Yang, Brother Wu and Sister Lan to consult the developer for custom manor villas.

Brother Yang and his team chose Mid-mountain near the Coastline Park, not far from Google, and have signed a contract.

If the design plan can be determined within two months, it is expected that the house will be delivered before Christmas.

Brother Yang has budgeted 18 million US dollars, and Brother Wu has budgeted 15 million US dollars. The two manors are close together, and they are very close."

Dorsey said in surprise: "Are Brother Wu and Sister Lan so rich?"

Shao Hanyun smiled slightly: "It's normal for Sister Lan and Brother Wu to host a private hedge fund. Jack, Brother Yang told me today that Android has made a net profit of more than 2.3 billion US dollars by investing in this fund."

"Watt?" Dorsey was stunned.

Shao Hanyun angrily said, "Jack, we promised that you should try to speak Chinese at home."

Dorsey hurriedly said, "Sorry, I was so shocked just now."

Shao Hanyun smiled and said, "When Brother Yang told me, I was also shocked. Brother Yang said that there are only a few major shareholders of the Android company who know about this matter now. He hopes that we will not disclose it."

Dorsey nodded and said, "Hanyun, I understand. Mr. Gao trusts us very much, and I will thank him."

After dinner, Dorsey helped Shao Hanyun clean up the dining table. When Shao Hanyun packed up, the two went downstairs together and walked on the street trail hand in hand.

Shao Hanyun said: "Jack, Brother Yang is not only an excellent entrepreneur and entrepreneur, but also a very powerful investor. Ruohan also has very excellent investment talents.

The Titan Fund hosted by Sister Lan and Brother Wu has actually been guiding investments."

Dorsey said: "I remember that in Las Vegas at the end of January, you attended the securities forum, led by Mr. Gao."

Shao Hanyun said: "Yes, it was the investment arranged in those days that Titan Fund earned nearly 20 times net income in just half a year.

At that time, android had just invested in the Titan Fund for 120 million US dollars.

The 120 million US dollars were almost all made by Brother Yang’s previous arrangements to allow Android companies to invest in US stocks.”

Dorsey exclaimed: "It's so amazing, just like capital magic."

Shao Hanyun smiled and said, "Jack, this is why Brother Yang suggested that you understand more about the capital market. With Brother Yang and Android as a backing, Twitter will not be short of development funds at all.

What you need is to be a good CEO, lead the management team, and let Twitter develop towards its planned goals."

Dorsey said in confusion: "Hanyun, Mr. Gao has such excellent investment ability, why don't he arrange Twitter to invest in Titan Fund?

At the end of January, if Twitter can invest $1 million in the Titan Fund, it will now have a $20 million return, and there will be no need to refinancing next year."

Shao Hanyun saw a wooden chair on the side of the road, pulled Dorsey over, sat down with a serious look on his face:

"Jack, that's the topic I want to discuss with you tonight.

Because of Williams, you have never been able to fully control Twitter. Brother Yang believes that Williams will hinder the normal development of the company, and may even be a time bomb.

Brother Yang hopes that you can join forces with Stone to marginalize Williams and even get out with the support of Android.

Only by solving this problem can Brother Yang fully support the development of Twitter, including helping the company make profits in investment in the financial market.

In this way, there is no need to raise funds frequently before Twitter goes public."

Dorsey frowned slightly and said, "Hanyun, Williams is the largest individual shareholder of Twitter and the most important founder."

I know he's trying to take control of the company again, just, do we have to do that?

He and Stone, I are both good friends and entrepreneurial partners, and have experienced a lot together.”

Shao Hanyun said: "Jack, Twitter is your hard work. Without you, Twitter would not have appeared.

Williams had some capital advantages at the beginning. He cooperated with you and Stone to start the Twitter project, and then registered as a company and operated independently.

Brother Yang has already explained to you clearly that he invested in Twitter because of you. Twitter needs you to be a leader and a spiritual leader of the team.

Why does 51 Group develop so fast and so well?

It is because of a leader like Brother Yang and a spiritual leader.

The internal entrepreneurial atmosphere of various companies in 51 Group has always been very good, because the management team obeys Brother Yang's command and works together.

The entire group, a large company with thousands of people, operates very efficiently every day.
