Chapter 185 Yahoo Inc. goes online(1/2)

1 hour and 40 minutes later

The Airbus H155 helicopter parked smoothly on the helipad of the Red Hat Company on Fengsha Road. Wang Yaocheng gave Tom a thumbs up and shouted, "Good job, man."

Tom answered loudly; "This big toy is great! I love him so much."

"Is your Indy car ready?"

"Haha, yes, thank you boss, you have never seen such a fast Indy car."

"Don't give up on your dreams, I'm optimistic about you!"

Wang Yaocheng shook his head helplessly and stepped off the helicopter. The strong air flow brought by the rotor blew his hair flying in the air, and he left the tarmac with a trot.

Chairman's Office

Qi Yafei, Dr. Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan were already waiting here. Wang Yaocheng strode in from the outside, followed by Yu Chengde, the director of the secretarial department. He is now Wang Yaocheng's most satisfactory assistant and has a very strong working ability.

"Hi, good morning guys, you all look good."

Yang Zhiyuan replied: "That's true. After half a month of trial operation, the boss and Yahoo programs have solved dozens of bugs. The engine's algorithm has been verified and its performance is excellent. Now it can be officially launched."

"Great! Let's sit down and talk. We'll wait for Mr. Huo."

While they were talking, Atlantic Company President Huo Jiaguang, lawyer Montgomery Jr. and others walked into the office, said hello to everyone, and sat down one after another.

Wang Yaocheng; "Okay, everyone is here. Mr. Montgomery, please introduce the company's formation."

Attorney Montgomery Jr. took out the document, looked at it, and said;

"Yahoo company registration and patent applications in European and American countries and other legal procedures have all been completed. Legally speaking, it has no connection with Netscape and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Hat.

Due to Red Hat's subsequent second round investment of US$6 million, and Atlantic Company President Huo Jiaguang and Red Hat and Yahoo General Manager Qi Yafei successively taking shares, the equity changes are as follows;

Red Hat invested US$16 million in two rounds and held 88% of the original shares.

Technical leaders Dr. Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan hold a total of 10% of the original shares. After the second round of dilution, they hold a total of 6% of the shares.

Dr. Ferro serves as Yahoo's CTO technical director, and Yang Zhiyuan serves as Yahoo's COO chief operating officer.

Montgomery Investments Jr. holds 2.25% of the shares and serves as the company's chief legal counsel.

Huo Jiaquan Investment holds 1.5% of the shares.

Qi Yafei Investment holds 1.5% of the shares and is also the CEO of Yahoo.

Yu Chengde Investment holds 0.75% of the shares and concurrently serves as the CFO of Yahoo!

The Yahoo brand logo and search engine patent pool are owned by Red Hat. Yahoo will adopt a dual-class share structure design, that is, "same shares, different rights", and the founding shareholders have 100% voting rights.

In the third round of financing and beyond, Yahoo investors will not have voting rights and will only have the right to share dividends.

This new type of equity structure design will always ensure that the founding major shareholders have absolute control over the company, no matter how the equity is diluted. This is the equity design that is most beneficial to the original shareholders."

The introduction of lawyer Montgomery Jr. won unanimous applause from everyone. This was a great weapon for future generations, including the founding shareholders of Alibaba, Google, Amazon, Facebook and other Internet companies, to maintain control of the company.

Now, Yahoo has become the first to lead the trend, and it will be enthusiastically sought after by Internet companies and become fashionable.

Poor Dr. Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan were so ignorant that Wang Yaocheng deprived them of control of the company and put the curse of Qi Yafei, general manager of Yahoo, on their heads. They were still complacent.

Having never experienced the glory of Yahoo in their previous life, these two technology giants are very satisfied with their current situation and are very happy to have big legs and be able to share in the success of Yahoo.

To be honest, these two people have some talent, but they are too wasteful.

Yahoo, a giant company, bought more than 100 companies like crazy when they got rich. Basically, they paid nothing for what they bought. Instead, they didn't buy the most important Google search engine for only 1 million US dollars.

Yahoo was ruined by these two people. Wang Yaocheng changed his mind and was not ready to give up Yahoo. Instead, he was ready to let Yahoo develop and grow according to his own wishes.

After all, it was Yahoo that pioneered Internet interconnection and led the world into the network information age, which is of extraordinary historical significance.

It is a pity that such a historically pioneering company has withdrawn from history.

"Open the champagne and let's celebrate. Today is August 18th. It's better to choose a date than to hit it. Yahoo has arranged to officially go online today. It will serve as the second pillar of Red Hat and jointly support the brilliant success of Red Hat.

prospect."

Wang Yaocheng's passionate speech was unanimously echoed. Everyone raised their champagne glasses with smiles and celebrated the birth of Yahoo together.

This historic day in the history of the development of the Internet is forever fixed in this moment amid the uncertainty of the flashing lights.

Red Hat, a company located in Silicon Valley, has successfully hatched the dazzling Netscape and Yahoo. These two successful Internet companies will bring opportunities for Wang Yaocheng's business empire to take off.

Red Hat is still in the process of developing a computer integrated chip R&D company and a Linux operating system application company.

By building a nest to attract talents and attracting high-end scientific and technological talents from the United States to participate in scientific and technological research and development, computer integrated chip research and development companies have made rapid progress.

It now has a research and development team of more than 300 people, more than 30% of whom have PhD degrees from Harvard or the University of California, and more than half of whom are Chinese science and engineering elites. They have continuously achieved remarkable results in chip technology research and development.

In addition to registering R&D patents, Wang Yaocheng does not want to expose the true strength of the computer integrated chip R&D company for the time being.

Adhering to the concept of meat buried in a bowl, Wang Yaocheng hopes to wait until chip research and development is truly mature before making the existence of this company public. It may take three years, or it may take five years. He has plenty of patience to wait.

The Linux operating system has been continuously improved. From Red Hat Helsinki Research Institute, Jinling Research Institute, and Silicon Valley Research Institute, after a year and a half of continuous efforts and a lot of money and effort, the Linux operating system has now been improved to 1.7 million

Lines of code are uploaded for free to businesses and enthusiasts for use.

This free effort has achieved gratifying achievements. Many medium and large scientific research companies have successively adopted the open source Linux operating system, and a large number of app developers have developed various small-scenario applications based on the Linux operating system, enriching the entire scene of the operating system.

application.

Linux inherits the network-centric design philosophy of Unix and is a multi-user network operating system with stable performance.

With the development of the Internet, Linux has received support from software enthusiasts, organizations, and companies around the world.

In addition to maintaining a strong momentum of development in server operating systems, it has also made great progress in personal computers and embedded systems.

Users can not only intuitively obtain the implementation mechanism of the operating system, but also modify and improve the operating system according to their own needs to maximize it to meet the needs of users.

Linux not only has stable system performance, but is also an open source and free software.

Its core firewall components have high performance and simple configuration, ensuring the security of the system. In many enterprise networks, in order to pursue speed and security, the Linux operating system is not only used as a server by network operation and maintenance personnel, but Linux can also be used as a server.

, and can also be used as a network firewall, which is a highlight of Linux.

During long-term use, users have gradually discovered many advantages of the Linux operating system, become more dependent on it, and user stickiness has greatly increased.

This promotion method of boiling frogs in warm water has gradually penetrated into various application scenarios of enterprises and individuals, including small and medium-sized factories, power stations, private banks, chemical companies and individual users.

affecting more and more people.

This was Google's free and open source Android operating system promotion method in the previous life. This trick has now been learned by Wang Yaocheng. Its real explosion should be ten years later, not now when smartphone applications have not yet begun.

Wang Yaocheng will insist on continuous investment in research and development, investing tens of millions of funds every year to update and develop the Linux operating system from generation to generation, gradually accumulating a thicker and thicker patent pool, until it reaches an insurmountable level.

After a while

Everyone dispersed in the chairman's office. Wang Yaocheng could not suppress the ecstasy in his heart. The full sense of accomplishment made him passionate. After washing his face and waking up, his heart was still burning like a ball of magma.

He reached out to unbutton his collar, walked to his desk and pressed the transponder;

"Miss Guo..."

"Yes, Chairman, what are your orders?"

"Please come to my office, Vice President Cai Linlin, to report on recent work."

"Okay, I'll notify you right away."

After a while, with the sound of "thump, thump" of leather shoes, Cai Linlin walked over in high spirits wearing an expensive customized Chanel suit. Her flowing wavy hair made her beautiful.

Chanel's thin and tight suit outlines Cai Linlin's beautiful and concave figure, her beautiful face is full of beautiful eyes, and her fair skin on her neck has deep collarbones, exuding the charming charm of a mature woman.

Pushing open the door, the huge chairman's office was deserted. Stepping on the thick wool carpet and walking in, Cai Linlin looked around in surprise. There seemed to be some noise in the lounge behind.

"Brother Cheng, are you there?"

"Oh, Linlin is here! Come in."

"oh!"

Cai Linlin walked in without any precautions, and was suddenly thrown onto the bed by a black shadow. She was so frightened that she screamed, and then she was pressed down by a heavy body.

"Oh...ah..."



Yu Chengde accompanied Pan Shiyi, Vice President and Financial Director of DreamWorks, and Zhao Feng, Director of Distribution, walked in chatting and laughing. They held thick documents in their hands and were about to report to the chairman.

Pan Shiyi and Zhao Feng, who work at Caribbean Holdings, are their own people stationed at DreamWorks. They control two important departments, the finance and distribution department, and safeguard the interests of Caribbean Holdings.

The three people walked up to Miss Guo Liyi, secretary to the chairman, and asked, "Miss Guo, Mr. Pan and Mr. Zhao from DreamWorks are here to report to the chairman. Can you come in now?"

"Oh! Vice President Cai has been in for a while. Please wait a moment and I will ask you questions."

The secretary, Ms. Guo Liyi, had just picked up the phone. Yu Chengde hurriedly pressed the phone down and said covertly, "Well... we are not in a hurry. Let's wait outside for a while. Please make them a cup of tea."

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Looking at Miss Guo Liyi's leaving figure, Pan Shiyi glanced at Zhao Feng vaguely. The two of them immediately knew that the old god was sitting down and waiting, not in any hurry.

It's nothing like the fussy and anxious look on his face when he first arrived.

These are all smart people. People who are old enough to deal with office politics should avoid some of the taboos of leaders.

After waiting for more than an hour, another hour passed.
