"Hello, Zekai. Why are you calling me? Why are you in the US? " Feng Yu received Li Zekai's call when he was researching how to scam Softbank and discuss the investment in FB. Li Zekai knows Feng Yu is in the US, and that's why Feng Yu asked.
"My boss and I are about to go over. We have something to discuss with you."
From Li Zekai's serious tone and Li Zeju's name, Feng Yu knew it must be about business. Li Zeju could represent Superman Li to a certain extent now.
"Ok. I will be going to Boston tomorrow and will be back the day after tomorrow. Is there a problem?"
"No. We will talk in person."
Feng Yu is in Boston again because Zuckerberg agreed to invest 100 million USD in exchange for 85% of FB's shares. This means Wind and Rain Holdings Group will acquire FB.
The other three co-founders will get 2% each, and Zuckerberg will get 9%. Feng Yu did not know how they negotiated the terms and conditions. All he knew was that they had signed the contract and will continue to work in the company and contribute to FB.
100 million USD now, but who knows how much it will be in two years. FB can become the world's top brand in Feng Yu's previous life, and it can do the same in this life.
In Feng Yu's previous life, FB covers many countries and regions, and only the Commonwealth of Independent States and Hua Xia can't do anything to them. With Feng Yu's help in this life, FB's development will be faster.
But Feng Yu doesn't intend to let FB cover all the countries in the world. There must be different social networking sites in the Commonwealth of Independent States and Hua Xia. This way, FB can avoid being monopolized and won't be forced to break up like the Asian tiger.
After separation, although the companies could still cooperate with each other, there was still a big difference. It was like the difference in hardness between ten chopsticks that were separated and ten chopsticks that were tied together.
Little Zuckerberg and his partners are excited to see Feng Yu coming to sign the contract with them personally. At the same time, they are full of confidence in their new company.
Although a supervisor was assigned to the company's finance department and several management personnel were assigned, the positions of CEO and other senior executives still fell to Zach Jr. and the others.
The four of them also joined the board of directors. Although there were nine people on the board, and the chairman was Ralph, the vice president of Wind and Rain Holdings.
Masao Kameda was in Japan during this time, so Ralph was in charge of everything in the US. Ralph was burdened with more responsibilities, but he was happy with it.
The more positions he held, the more money he could earn. Senior management of a subsidiary company would be rewarded with shares of the subsidiary company, which was more attractive than a salary.
For example, after Amazon got listed, Ralph's Amazon shares will shoot up, and his net worth will skyrocket.
When Ralph's shares reach the peak, he will get a large sum of money and follow his boss to invest. How can he not make money?
When Ralph knew Masao Kameda was appointed as Softbank's Independent Director, he was secretly delighted. Ralph felt he was not as capable as Masao Kameda, but Masao Kameda was too busy to manage other companies' senior executives.
Wind and Rain Holdings should give Ralph more power. Masao Kameda can continue to be the President, but why can't Ralph be the CEO? In many companies, there are both presidents and CEOs.
Also, Ralph was the same as Wu Chih-gang. Feng Yu taught him personally, and his way of doing things is similar to Feng Yu. Ralph had done many things for Feng Yu, and Feng Yu valued him. That's why he had some thoughts about his salary.
"Boss, 100 million USD is definitely not enough, right? It might be enough in North America, but it will not be enough to expand overseas. Also, if they want to make profits, they will need to develop new paywall applications. Just these people alone will not be enough. "Ralph asked.
"The first investment of 100 million USD is enough for them to enter the North American market. Also, we do not intend to let them make profits immediately. Two years later, we will raise funds, or we will increase our investments. Once we have a large number of users, it will be easier for us to make money. "
Users are the most important thing for an internet company. Without users, everything else will be useless. With a user base, even if they only advertise, they will be able to make high profits. Coupled with some other value-added services, it would be much easier to make money.
"Boss, let me tell you about Amazon's recent situation."
"Alright, go ahead. I want to hear it."
Feng Yu looked at Ralph. Ralph was extra attentive today, and Feng Yu knew why. It was because Masao Kameda was appointed as Softbank's director.
Masao Kameda had mentioned to Feng Yu that Ralph can take on more responsibilities after two years of training. Masao Kameda had also mentioned the separation of the CEO and President of Wind and Rain Holdings.
Heitaro Nakajima is getting old, and his health had not been well for the past two years. Masao Kameda is going to be the President of Aiwa and ask Heitaro Nakajima to recommend a successor.
Masao Kameda wants him to be in charge of the company's operations in Asia, and Ralph will be in charge of the US operations. This way, he can balance the authority in the company and speed up the development.
Although the companies in the US have a lot of potential, Wind and Rain Holdings' most valuable subsidiary, Wind & Rain Consulting, is in Hong Kong, and it is also Feng Yu's most valued company. Masao Kameda believes this way, Feng Yu will trust him more, and he will be closer to him.
Masao Kameda can take over the work in the US anytime, but it will be difficult for Ralph to take over the work in Asia. That's why Masao Kameda knows that as long as he does not betray Feng Yu, his position will not waver.
After introducing Amazon, Ralph introduced Google and other industries. He even introduced LA Wind and Rain Team.
"Ralph, you should pay more attention to the company's operations in Europe."
Ralph's eyes brighten up. Isn't Kameda the one in charge of the company's operations in Europe? That means Feng Yu is going to give him more authority?
Ralph hesitated and asked. "Boss, isn't Kameda the one in charge of those jobs? Did something happen to him?"
Feng Yu looked at Ralph. "Something happened to him? He does not have any problems. You are talking about him taking on the role of Softbank's director? I had agreed to let him take on the role. If you are interested in taking on the role of an independent director in another company, and it will not affect Wind and Rain Holdings, just let me know. I will not stop you. "
Ralph was touched by Feng Yu's words.
The plane landed, and they returned to New York. Feng Yu looked out of the window. Why are the Li brothers here?
