Chapter 522: Conquering the Venture Capital Queen (Two in One)

After dinner, Gao Yang accompanied Ding Lei, Li Yan and others to have tea in the hotel. Some time ago, Ding Lei and Li Yan reduced their holdings of about US$100 million at Gao Yang's suggestion. Now they decided to invest in a smartphone project of 300 million to 51 Group.

Gao Yang naturally expressed his welcome, and he also clearly mentioned that Yiwang and Baidu cannot be invested in the name of the company.

Boss Feng of CPI also decided to invest 100 million in the name of CPI.

At noon, Gao Yang and Wu Ruohan went home to rest, Gu Yawen returned to Weber's apartment to rest, and in the afternoon he had to take Chen Sen, Zhou Wenbin and others to inspect the construction site of 51 Science and Technology Park.

Before lunch break, Wu Ruohan asked: "Honey, this time the investment department has received a reward of 100 million yuan. What are you going to make arrangements?"

Gao Yang smiled and said, "You are the department head and the commander. You should reward you with 40 million."

Wu Ruohan said: "There is no need to reward me, just reward sister Yufei and the others for 5 people. The average per capita is 20 million, which will inspire them even more."

Gao Yang said: "You are the minister and have the greatest contribution. If you don't get the bonus, why are Yufei and the others embarrassed to get it?"

Wu Ruohan thought about it and said, "Then I'll get 30 million. I suggest Sister Yufei 20 million, Yang Liu 14 million, and others 12 million."

Gao Yang said: "Yes, Yufei and Yang Liu have made a lot of money in this big bull market, right?"

Wu Ruohan said: "Yes, in their own account, Sister Yufei made 15 times, close to 80 million, and Yangliu made more than 30 times, more than 30 million.

The other three people also have 10 to 20 million.

Sister Yufei is still very strict in management. She herself, not even buying stocks in the company's stock pool, nor does it affect the company's investment and trading."

Gao Yang thought for a while and said, "Next month, Yang Liu and the others will go to Hong Kong Island to trade 1 billion US dollars. You tell Yang Liu that they are forbidden from using their own funds and investing with the asset management company.

This time they went to Hong Kong Island to operate, and their mission was to train their ability to compete with international investment banks and hedge funds in the Hong Kong Island and European markets.

Their salary during their work in Hong Kong Island is based on local market standards.

In addition, as an incentive, after the investment task is completed, the company can arrange a 5% performance commission."

Wu Ruohan said: "Will there be too few performance commissions of 5 points?"

Gao Yang said: "Their main task is to short the stock index and other high-leverage products.

If everything goes well, you will get 5 times the net income within one year, which is 5 billion US dollars, and 5 points of performance commission, is it still less?"

Wu Ruohan smiled: "If they really make a net income equivalent to US$5 billion, the commission of US$250 million is really a lot."

Gao Yang said again: "Yang Liu and others, including Huang Yufei, will be included in the group's employee shareholding pilot personnel next year.

If they are not stupid, they should understand the value of participating in group dividends every year in the future.

Huang Yufei also has to go to Hong Kong Island once a month to strictly inspect.”

Wu Ruohan said: "Well, I will make arrangements, don't worry..."

At this time, at Hong Kong Island Airport, Xu Xin, founder of Today's Venture Capital, had just boarded a plane flying directly to Beijing.

At noon today, Xu Xin received a call from Gao Yang, asking her to come to the capital, saying that she had something important to discuss.

Xu Xin quickly booked the air ticket and set off soon.

In late April, 51 Toutiao held a press conference and announced that the website was launched, Xu Xin was a little unhappy with Gao Yang for a while.

Gao Yang never revealed such a good project to her, nor did he give Today's Venture Capital an opportunity to invest in venture capital.

Later, I learned that the project of 51 Toutiao is a wholly-owned investment by 51 Group, and Xu Xin was very regretful.

The emergence of 51 Headlines, just like the 51 Guardian, directly changed the business model of the entire industry.

The news websites such as Xinglang and Sohu have suffered a lot, with a large number of users lost and their advertising revenue has dropped sharply. Many news media and reporters have refused to be reproduced by Xinglang and other websites.

Because 51 Headlines pays for advertising traffic sharing for original content.

Now, in just half a year, 51 Headlines has ranked first in the influence of portal news websites. After hesitating for three or four months, Xinglang, sohu, and Goinchang.com have to find ways to poach people everywhere and quietly start organizing technical forces to develop new portal websites empowered by AI technology.

At dusk, Xu Xin left Beijing Airport. Xu Xiaolong, deputy director of the Security Department of 51 Group, who greeted her, directly sent Xu Xin to Wanliu Huafu.

After 9 o'clock in the evening, Gao Yang ran back at night, took a hot shower, and asked Wu Ruohan to go to bed first. Then he invited Xu Xin into the study, accompanied by Gu Yawen, and began to talk about the main things.

Gao Yang asked with a smile: "Sister Xin, has Venture Capital invested in a new project this year?"

Xu Xin shook her head and said, "In March, I invested in a small project worth 1 million US dollars. In the second half of the year, I felt that the economic situation was wrong. The Central Bank of China continued to raise interest rates, and the United States and Europe were in a subprime mortgage crisis again. I began to be cautious.

Yesterday, Merrill Lynch announced a huge loss of US$8 billion in the third quarter. I feel that there may be great turmoil in the global financial market next year. Gao Yang, what do you think?"

Gao Yang said: "Yes, I also think that the probability of a global financial crisis next year is very high. In the future, large US and European financial institutions may explode further.

Sister Xin, it is a big event to invite you to Beijing today. 51 Group plans to start investing in a smartphone project. Are you interested?"

Xu Xin said in surprise: "Will 51 Group enter the industry, or do you want to make a smartphone?"

Gao Yang said: "Yes, this project has been prepared for two or three years. Now that we have the conditions to go on, Brother Tao is preparing to invest 500 million, Brother Lei and Brother Yan are planning to invest 300 million each."

Xu Xin asked: "How big is the initial investment scale of this project?"

Gao Yang said: "The project has not been officially launched yet and the investment plan has not been drafted yet. I plan to make the registered capital of 10 billion, which is real."

Xu Xin was shocked and said, "It's such a large scale, where did 51 Group get so much money?"

Gu Yawen smiled slightly: "Sister Xin, 51 Group has invested 20 to 30 billion yuan to invest in this project, and it is no problem. In the past two years, the company has made a lot of money in A-share investments. Please keep this matter confidential."

Xu Xin buzzed in her mind, stunned and asked: "Gaoyang, what resources does 51 Group have to do mobile phone projects besides funds?"

After Gao Yang introduced the open source operating system of Android and the registration of the smartphone company headquarters in Shudu Hi-Tech Zone, Xu Xin suddenly realized that Gao Yang had indeed planned it.

After thinking for a while, Xu Xin asked again: "Gaoyang, are you so confident that open source mobile operating system can occupy the market?"

Gao Yang took out his iPhone 3G and asked, "Sister Xin, are you using an iPhone?"

Xu Xin also took out an iPhone 3G: "I bought it in September and it feels pretty good. It's much better than the Rockia and Doppard I used before."

Gao Yang said: "Sister Xin, what we need to do is to have high-end smartphones with innovative characteristics.

The English version of Android was developed by more than 200 top-notch engineers in Silicon Valley for two years. The debugging and comparison later was no worse than Apple's iOS.

In terms of hardware design and process manufacturing, we must also benchmark the iPhone, and even better than this phone.

Open source software systems are currently widely used in various fields around the world, with many developers.

The user experience of Android testing has clearly surpassed Symbian and Windows.

Now, the total user traffic of 51 Group's Internet platforms has exceeded 800 million. With the support of Yi.com, Baidu, Qihu and Jingdong Mall, is it difficult for us to promote such a private brand smartphone for high-end users?

After opening up the high-end market, it will be natural to promote mid- and low-end models."

Xu Xinyan smiled: "Okay, I believe in the strength of 51 Group. In recent years, as long as it is a project you like, there will be no unsuccessful ones. Well... Then today's venture capital investment will invest 25 million US dollars, how about it?"

Gao Yang shook his head and smiled: "Sister Xin, we are not short of funds. If you want to invest in this project, you can only invest in it in your personal name, and there is another condition."

Xu Xin said in surprise: "Gaoyang, what do you mean?"

Gao Yang said: "Sister Xin, this project is not accepted for investment in European and American capital."

"Gaoyang, don't go around with Sister Xin."

Gu Yawen angrily said, and said with a smile: "Sister Xin, that's right. Gao Yang plans to set up an investment center in 51 Group. He wants to invite you to be the chief investment officer of 51 Group to preside over this work."

Xu Xin said in confusion: "Gaoyang, don't you want to set up an Internet venture capital fund with Yiwang and Baidu? Why do you still have to set up an investment center?"

Gao Yang said: "Sister Xin, tell you the truth. 51 Group now has hundreds of billions of cash."

"Does 51 Group have hundreds of billions of funds?" Xu Xin was shocked in an instant.

Gu Yawen said: "Sister Xin, this is currently a secret within our company. Only shareholders and company leaders know about it. Please be sure to keep it confidential."

Xu Xin nodded: "Yawen, I understand."

Gu Yawen said again: "The investment center that Gao Yang wants to set up mainly has three directions.

First, investment in new projects such as smartphones, second, acquisition of some projects from outside, and third, venture capital funds.

The venture capital fund is mainly invested by 51 Group, and the total investment ratio of Yiwang and Baidu will not exceed 30%.

In the next few years, the investment center's investment scale will not be less than 20 billion soft girl coins, including smartphone projects.

Gao Yang hopes that you will take over the overall investment of 51 Group.”

Xu Xin thought seriously for a while and suddenly asked with a smile: "Gaoyang, I went to 51 Group to be the chief investment officer. How much salary do you pay?"

Gao Yang said: "Is the salary of one million yuan, the treatment of the vice president enough?"

Xu Xin laughed: "It seems not enough."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Okay, for a talent like you, a million-dollar annual salary is indeed a little less, but this is just your salary.

In addition, you can be a venture capital fund partner, and you can also hold equity in 51 Group through employee shareholding, and participate in the group's annual dividends..."

After Gao Yang introduced it in detail, Xu Xin finally understood and smiled: "I came to 51 Group to host the investment center. What should I do today's venture capital? I can't stop liquidation."

Gao Yang asked: "Sister Xin, how much capital does Venture Capital still have today?"

Xu Xin said: "There is more than 30 million US dollars, and I own 15% of the shares."

Gao Yang thought about it and said, "It's just over 30 million US dollars. You can just find someone who is capable in the company and help you take charge of the work. If there is a suitable project, you can just shuttle it away."

Xu Xin thought for a while: "Forget it, I'll arrange for an executive general manager, so I'll choose some small projects and last for a few more years. Now, I'll wait for Jingdong Mall and Qihu to develop quickly and go to Nasdaq to IPO."

Xu Xin is not the venture capital queen who became famous overnight after she went public through Jingdong Mall. 51 Group's thighs are too thick now. Gao Yang plans to let her control the amount of funds exceeding 20 billion soft girl coins. Xu Xin cannot be moved.
