After more than three months of development, iView recruited more than 50 employees in Silicon Valley. As soon as the news of successful financing came out of the conference room, these usually quiet and dull guys seemed to have been ecstasy and all fell into a state of madness. Ribbons, balloons, champagne, and cakes were flying all over the sky - champagne and cakes were really flying in the air, one sprayed everywhere like a fountain, and the other threw it everywhere like a cannonball, which quickly turned the office into a garbage dump.

When these madmen heard about Chen Dayou's story of learning Elvis at the conference table and singing "hound-dog" to dance the hip twisting dance, they were even more excited, surrounded him, twisted his hips, clapped his applause, and shouted like a bonfire party in the wild.

"Wow…dylan, you are an outstanding rabbit..."

"Wow…dylan, you are an outstanding rabbit..."

Chen Dayou's emotions were so excited that he was about to explode. He held the huge champagne bottle, raised his head and took a big sip, then raised his right hand, opened his five fingers, and announced loudly: "When the money is received, everyone will give a bonus of 50,000 US dollars!"

Programmers are also human beings, and no one doesn’t like money. The annual salary of iView employees is about 80,000 US dollars, and 50,000 is equivalent to 7 and a half months’ salary, which is definitely a huge reward. The audience suddenly burst into cheers of howling ghosts and wolves, almost shaking the roof.

At this time, most investors had left, but Jennifer had not left yet. She was worried that she would get wet by the champagne splashing everywhere and kept hiding in Du Qiu's lounge. At this time, she looked outside through the glass window and sneered: "What a nouveau riche among nouveau riche."

Rewarding merits is the best way to maintain the company's cohesion. Du Qiu has also done this in China. He sat obliquely at the corner of his desk and defended him: "Dylan is just too excited."

"Why aren't you excited?"

"How do you know I'm not excited?"

Yes, how could you not be excited...

Du Qiu was just an ordinary otaku before traveling through time. US$200 million was an astronomical figure that he could not even imagine. Now he was within his reach and it was impossible not to be excited. However, this excitement was more similar to leading a team to defeat a super difficult boss in an online game. He was extremely satisfied with his spirit, but his mind was still clear, and he knew that life would continue, and he was still a human being. He did not lose his mind like Chen Dayou, thinking that he was the king of the world, and fell into a state of complete carnival.

"feng told me that if you are excited, you will be like a beast in heat, very aggressive." Jennifer's eyes moved down, glanced at Du Qiu's jeans, then posed for a wide open door and let Jun taste it, and said, "This room has a good sound insulation effect. Do I need me to pull the curtains?"

Du Qiu couldn't resist it, so he hurriedly raised the wine glass in his hand, took a sip of champagne, forced to reverse the topic, and said seriously: "jenny, thank you for your help at the meeting."

"It's nothing, we are friends." Jennifer often teases him these days, and he always tastes it casually and stops when he sees it. This time, he is no exception and has no trouble anymore. He said, "I really regret not bringing the camera here. If you dance with dylan just now, it would be an excellent publicity if you can take a photo and publish it in the media."

"Is that so? I think it's funny."

"You two are Silicon Valley superstars now. The more funny, the more amazing, and the more controversial you are, the more sensational it will be." Jennifer held his arm and looked into Du Qiu's eyes, saying: "If the iView succeeds, today's funny dance will become a legendary story, circulating in Silicon Valley and even the whole world. If it fails... if it fails, the whole life will be funny, and it doesn't matter."

She contributed a lot to this financing and took great risks. She was not less pressure than Chen Dayou. Du Qiu was a little moved, but on the surface she still maintained a cynical attitude and said with a smile: "In order not to disappoint you, I will not fail."

Jennifer seemed to feel the sincerity hidden in his words, smiled sweetly and said, "I believe in you."

At this time, a man's voice came from outside the door: "Abumn is a man who is good at creating miracles, and I believe him too."

Du Qiu looked up and found out that it was Masayoshi Son, the boss of SoftBank Group. He walked in from outside the door with a glass of champagne and said in Japanese: "Du San, congratulations."

"Thank you." Du Qiu raised his glass to greet him and said, "I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"It will definitely be." Masayoshi Son drank a lot of wine, his face turned red, but his thinking was very clear, and suggested: "Du San, imail is a revolutionary product and has a large market in Japan. Why not cooperate with us to open a branch?"

"Okay, we'll find some time to talk in a few days."

When Jennifer heard them talking in Japanese, she made a gesture of "I'll leave first" and left with her briefcase. Masayoshi Sun looked at her back and sighed: "Du San, if this woman had not convinced Tim Draper and let DeFengjie seize the opportunity, I would have invested you alone in $100 million, $100 million!"

"Sun Sang, you have a pair of good eyes that are sharper than falcons, and are good at discovering miracles. I believe in you."

"So we are a match made by heaven." Masayoshi Son laughed, and once again clinked wine glasses with Du Qiu, and asked, "Du San, iView owns 20% of Yahoo's equity, right?"

"Yes."

"So have you heard that Netscape is preparing to acquire Yahoo?"

Netscape wants to acquire Yahoo?

Although Du Qiu had already prepared his mentality for the unrecognizable history of the Internet after the W3C meeting, he was still a little surprised when he heard the news and asked: "Where did Sun Sang get the news?"

"I have a good cooperative relationship with Sequoia Capital. They once recommended Yahoo to me. When I went to inspect yesterday, I heard what Jerry Yang said." Masayoshi Son has cooperated with many Silicon Valley companies, with wide connections and well-informed news. He said: "NetView plans to acquire it in a combination of cash and stock, with a price of US$50 million. If IView also wants to acquire it, it is best to follow up quickly."

Du Qiu received a $4 million reward when writing IE to Microsoft in June. At that time, IView had no plans to split the financing. The company's main employees were all in China and had very little expenses. The money was idle, so he encouraged Chen Dayou to spend $1 million to invest in Yahoo. He originally wanted to make a fortune when it went public next year, but now the situation has changed. This investment is really planned well.

According to the agreement, after the financing is completed, iView will form a five-person board. As the second most investor, Son has already locked a seat on the board in advance. Du Qiu decided to consult his opinion and asked: "Sun Sang thinks we should acquire Yahoo?"

"Yahoo's content is richer than icard and has more clicks. It has a great advantage in advertising, and I think it should be acquired."

It is worthy of the big funder who forced the Yuanshishi to spend 100 million US dollars to Yahoo, and he still looks forward to it so much...

However, Yahoo is not worth $50 million at all now. Jerry Yang may be like Chen Dayou, who is also launching smoke bombs to increase his value...

"When we invested in Yahoo in June, their valuation was only $7 million. It only took 4 months to become 50 million, which is a bit inflated."

"Du San, iView's valuation was only 20 million in June!" Masayoshi Son shook his head and smiled, revealing: "At the beginning of this year, when Yahoo had not registered a company, Netscape proposed to acquire them with 6 million shares. Based on the current share price, it is equivalent to US$300 million, and now it is only US$50 million, which has shrunk a lot."

"There is still this?" Du Qiu pondered for a moment, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he said, "If Netjing really wants to acquire Yahoo, Yang Zhiyuan will definitely notify us. Let the news fly for a while now, don't rush to express his opinion."

"I admire Doosan's young but calm and moderate."

“Where…”

The carnival lasted for about 30 minutes and was forced to end under complaints from other companies upstairs and downstairs. However, Chen Dayou quickly came up with a better celebration plan. He booked a Boeing 737 business jet and prepared to take all employees to Las Vegas to continue the party carnival.

Du Qiu was not interested in gambling-Bo and party, but in order not to sweep the employees' interest, he followed him. When he walked into the cabin of 737, he immediately realized something was wrong, because there were too many flight attendants on the plane, with more than 30 clothes, and he was wearing heavy makeup, which was very similar to a scene in the movie "Wolf of Wall Street".

"Brother Chen, are you trying to play in the wine pond and meat forest in the air?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that you are usually hypocritical and know very well." Chen Dayou completely indulged in his arms, hugged two plump women and said carelessly: "It's just a show-off, Jiang Danfeng won't know. Besides, even if you know, it's okay, she doesn't care about you at all."

Du Qiu is not a hypocritical gentleman, but he doesn't like this way of playing. He turns around and walks out of the plane, saying, "You guys play, just don't cause an air crash."

"Hey! Du Qiu, you're boring, just having fun."

Du Qiu turned his head to look at him and warned very seriously: "Brother Chen, you can play, but don't touch things you shouldn't touch. After returning to the company, all employees will go for a blood test as soon as possible. If there is any problem, they will be fired, including you!"

Chen Dayou was warned by him and his fanatical mind became much clearer. He let go of the two women awkwardly, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I just made a lot of money and want to live a few more years, so I won't mess around."

The workload of developing iView and imail is very high. The company's employees started in mid-September and worked more than 10 hours a day. They all volunteered to work overtime on weekends and had not had a rest for more than a month. This is very rare in the United States. Du Qiu didn't want to seem unkind. Before getting off the plane, he announced: "I'll give you three days of vacation, each person will be reimbursed for $10,000 in chips, and come back to work on time next Monday."

“woooo!”

"Boss, I love you!"

After getting off the plane, Du Qiu looked at the time and found that it was only early 3 pm. He thought that he had nothing to do when staying in Silicon Valley alone, so he called Jennifer and wanted to take a private plane to go shopping in Los Angeles and buy some favorite items to reward himself. After all, he had been on the road for more than a month, physically and mentally exhausted and needed rest.

"That plane belongs to my mom. It is now parked in Seattle, not in Silicon Valley. If you have urgent matters to go to Los Angeles, I can help you contact a rental company to rent one."

"Nothing urgent, I just want to go sightseeing and relax."

"If you are traveling, it's better to drive from Route 1 to Los Angeles. There are many beautiful scenery along the way, and it will be within 5 hours." Jennifer was probably bored and suggested: "I'll be your tour guide, let's go there together."
