Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh go your own way

Lake Tahoe.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, the water is wide and there are waves, the flowers are suspected of spring snow, and the green trees are like waves.

Feng Yiping was wearing blue and white shorts and a T-shirt, holding a copy of the best-selling gossip magazine in the United States, the National Inquiry newspaper, lying on a lounge chair in the backyard of a lake villa, feeling sleeping but not sleeping, wandering around.

Amanda was lying next to him. It must be because of the time he just came here that he was too crazy and tired. Now he was sleeping soundly on Candy. His sleeping position was as open as ever.

Whenever she sees her sleeping, Feng Yiping always remembers what her mother said before. When she goes to bed at night, she clearly puts herself on the head of the bed, but when she wakes up at dawn, she often sleeps like a pig at the end of the bed.

I never admitted it before, but now I think about it, it's probably true.

The candy is not as cute as when he was a child, but it will be like a child who loves adults, bent down and let the little master rest on him. Occasionally, he flashed his ears and opened his eyes. Feng Yiping seemed to be able to see the deep helplessness in his eyes - what can I do?

"It's so quiet," Huang Jingping, wearing a white sleeveless skirt, put on sunscreen on her arm. "You said, what did Paige and the others do?"

The two guys seemed to have ADHD in the morning, so lively that they didn't seem to have stopped for a moment, but this afternoon, until now, they were silent.

"Lucy and Anne were staring at Amanda before, very rare. So what do you think they are doing now?" Feng Yiping said slowly.

"Tsk," Huang Jingping spat, "It's broad daylight,"

"Life lies in exercise, and exercise can also create life. How can it be divided into day and night?" Feng Yiping smiled.

He reached out to pick up the juice next to him and took a sip. Immediately, a girl in a uniform came over quietly, made up another glass for him, and took away his cup that was almost over.

"Do you think you can also hire two at home?" Feng Yiping asked.

"I knew you wanted to," Huang Jingping spat again.

She also knew that men had a special liking for some uniforms, such as the maid outfit on the blonde girl just now.

The guy who designed the maid outfit must be an old hooligan. Huang Jingping is very sure that in Dream of Red Mansions, if the girls around Baoyu were wearing such maid outfits, there would probably be nothing Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai had to do with it.

"Why are your thoughts so complicated?" Feng Yiping looked at her with contempt, "I mean, if there are two professionals like this in the family who will appear automatically when they need her. When you don't need her, you won't feel that she exists at all, how much trouble can you save?"

"Who knows if there will be more things happening," Huang Jingping muttered in a low voice.

"What?"

"Ah, nothing," Huang Jingping responded randomly, "You came home late last night. Tell me how about Chief Yang?"

"He is indeed extraordinary," Feng Yiping said, putting his hand behind his head and looking at Bai Yun who was wandering around every day.

"Since he is so powerful, why do you say Yahoo is not as good as Google?"

"There are many reasons for this, but I think their main problem may be that the general direction is actually correct in terms of execution, but it is that the execution is not effective, and then it is not focused,"

"For example, it's like a monkey breaking corn and eating a few bites on this and a stick. If it doesn't taste delicious, it throws it away. Then I break one more bite. I bite the next one and feel it's boring. Then I break one more... As a result, I might have ruined a piece of land, but my stomach is not full yet."

He remembered that before he was reborn, Yahoo's main business seemed to be in a very downturn, just like many A-share listed companies later sold a house when they were about to release their financial reports. Whenever Yahoo wanted to release their financial reports, they sold some Alibaba or Japanese Yahoo stocks.

In fact, even if they don’t do searching, don’t play other business, spend less money to acquire, and just focus on building portals, they won’t be so down and out. You know, just talk about NetEase, but later, it still achieved a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars?

Yahoo’s foundation and its influence around the world are much higher than NetEase!

"Then he still has no vision," said Huang Jingping. "On the past," she got into Feng Yiping's lounge chair. "After purchasing so many companies, no one can develop well. Look at you, aren't each of the purchased companies developing well?"

This cannot be said to be wrong.

Yahoo has acquired too many, but has developed too little. For example, overture, which spent more than one billion US dollars last year, Google's advertising revenue is indeed mainly based on cloning this technology. However, the share of Yahoo, which acquired the original version, is still declining in the online advertising market.

Such a thing is indeed inappropriate.

As for Yahoo's ability to meet Alibaba, it can actually be said that blind cats can also encounter dead mice. Yahoo has acquired so many acquisitions, and occasionally one or two of them have good returns, which is really not surprising.

Of course, the rat they encountered was indeed a bit big.

However, he also let go of two big rats, first Google, and in 1997 he only offered $1 million, but he refused.

In fact, it is understandable. Yahoo also mainly does searching, and it is understandable if it is not favored by other search technologies.

But the second time, I really couldn't understand it.

The second time was in 2006. I negotiated with Xiaozha to acquire Facebook for $1 billion. Everything was ready, but at the last moment, I wanted to save some money, so I asked my subordinates to reduce the price to $850 million.

This move successfully angered Zuckerberg. He felt very insulted and tore up the agreement he was preparing to sign on the spot. So Yahoo lost a very rare opportunity.

Of course, with Yahoo's usual virtues, it may not necessarily develop if you really get Facebook.

"The others are good, but they may have many of their own difficulties, or they should focus more on technology," he said.

It is undeniable that Jerry Yang naturally made many fatal mistakes, but it is undeniable that there are indeed some objective reasons why he finally became a tragic figure.

Unlike Google's two figures, Jerry Yang only has a single-digit shareholding in Yahoo, and Yahoo's control is in the hands of those guys on Wall Street.

Those people on Wall Street, no matter what enthusiasm or long-term, they want direct rewards.

This naturally leads to Jerry Yang's lack of control over Yahoo, and some good strategies cannot be continued. This can be seen by changing so many CEOs from Yahoo.

His persistence in some things is indeed his reason.

For example, what directly led to him being kicked out in the end should be that he ruined Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo. Microsoft's offer at that time was US$44.6 billion, with a premium of 62%. Many shareholders were moved, but he just disagreed.

Is he really unreasonable? We know that when Alibaba went public, the Alibaba shares held by Yahoo alone were worth nearly US$51 billion, which was due to Alibaba spending US$7.6 billion to repurchase a lot of shares.

"That's Yahoo's ceo, it's not attractive to you?" Huang Jingping looked at Feng Yiping, and a little star appeared in her eyes.

"Why do we have to work hard for others? We can't finish our own business," Feng Yiping smiled. "Besides, you wait. In a year or two, we will create a bigger and better platform than Yahoo,"

Feng Yiping thought it very clearly. Through various signs, it can be completely judged that Yahoo has many problems, especially in execution.

Even if the Yahoo board of directors passes Jerry Yang's proposal and appoints himself as CEO, he really can't guarantee that Yahoo will follow its own baton.

Besides, everything develops as you expect, so why bother to do your best to other people's companies?

It's not that I don't have good projects.

If he had known that Yahoo was sold at a bargain price later and could not even protect the trademark, he might not have seen Jerry Yang yesterday.

"When you rely on the platform you set up by others to make a career, you can't feel more accomplished by walking a path entirely on your own,"

"Anyway, you are really great!" Huang Jingping kissed him in the face.

There was some movement behind this. When they looked back, they saw that Page and Lucy, Brin and Anne walked out a distance away.

Feng Yiping smiled as they looked at them, "How is it?" he whispered.

The two ladies were full of energy, while the two men around them seemed to have not woken up.

It turns out that there are only exhausted cows and no broken fields.

Huang Jingping gave her a blank look and greeted the two, "Lucy, Anne, have you rested?"
