Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
With the advent of Thanksgiving, the media heat brought by the 《The New York Times》 interview did not mean any cooling.
Under the intensive high attention, if Eric stays in Eath Hampton and Thanksgiving, the media's attention is likely to be transferred to women and children. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Eric took the women and children to Maryland with the Chris family.
At the end of November, there is still no snow around Frederick County, Maryland, and the gentle hilly plains have long lost the vitality of summer. However, when you look around, the sky and clouds and the decay of the rough grass and the vast landscape will make people living in the city feel a special sense of relaxation.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a group of large and small finally came out of the forest more than ten kilometers west of the Jeffrey farm. Several hounds still roamed around in a hurry, from time to time, a few times, obviously apparently unfinished.
The more and more prosperous Jeffrey is carrying a wild deer in person. This is the result of a busy day for everyone.
Today is Thanksgiving, and the women are already preparing Thanksgiving dinner on the farm. I really enjoyed the crowd coming to accompany myself for the holiday. Jeffrey decided early in the morning that they must add a roast venison, so they came to hunt.
I originally planned to bring Chris with Eric These two nephews, heard Jeffrey Grandpa wants to hunt, Emma The first one shouted to follow, Kevin I also look forward to a small look, Hawaii Obviously it is impossible to be interested in this kind of thing, but in order to avoid ‘terror Drew "Auntie", the little girl also followed, so she originally planned to go out for an hour or two of hunting and lively toss a day, more like an outing.
Joanna and Virginia were originally very reluctant, worried about the safety of the little guys, but after Eric nodded, the two women had to agree, but still let the twins come to take care of the three little guys together, women can always be more careful. some.
Three little guys keep up, Jeffrey is naturally all-permitted, and even wants to bring his little grandson to ‘see the world’, but unfortunately Emily is desperately unable to follow. Daniel, who is only one year old, has just learned to walk at this time.
At this time, Jeffrey is carrying the wild deer in the front, surrounded by three little guys Kevin, Emma and Hawaii, and the twins are carefully watching around.
Eric and Chris were carrying several shotguns at the end, because three little guys were there, several shotguns were useless all day, and the unlucky wild deer was completely the result of hunting by several hounds. Carrying a shotgun on the body is just worried about the fierce beast like black bear.
Looking at the group in front, Eric's gaze finally settled on the twins in a simple and hard suit.
Two girls of tall and slender with light blonde hair and ponytails can occasionally see a white snowy neck.
I do n’t know why, Eric always feels that the temperament of the twins is very consistent with the cold and bleak surroundings at this time. If you think about it, this is probably because the two girls are from the perennial ice cold Russia.
Put the deer on the off-road vehicle. The Jeffrey drove in person. The twins carried the three little guys into the back row, and the car drove to the farm.
Eric and Chris drove another off-road vehicle to follow, and a few hounds didn't need anyone to care. Even if they couldn't keep up with the speed, they could follow the path back to the farm.
With the steering wheel, speeding up a little bit, Chris glanced at the Eric on the co-pilot and smiled: "This kind of life is actually good, right?"
"Yeah," Eric nodded and said, "However, we can only experience it occasionally. It is impossible for us to enjoy this kind of life for a long time like Jeffrey. Last time you went to New Zealand, you know, the scenery there is very Beautiful, but there is still a saying that living in New Zealand for a week is paradise, and living for a year becomes hell. In fact, many places are like this. "
Chris nodded and chatted a few words, but the topic still turned to work unconsciously: "Ian they complained to me more than once in private, and achieved 3billion USD annual profit in five years, which gave them a lot Pressure. "
Eric shook his head and said with a smile: "This is obviously a deviation in their understanding, or did not go to read the interview. I mean Yahoo only needs five years to match its current market value, and did not say to Realize the annual profit of 3billion USD in five years. That ’s what Jodie.Miller said. In fact, as long as Yahoo can maintain the current high growth rate, the price-earnings ratio within 100 times, the market is acceptable. Many investors are actually not Lack of long-term vision. "
Chris nodded slightly and said: "Then you think, how long will it actually take for Yahoo to achieve the three 1 billion USD annual profit target?"
"I really don't know about this," Eric shook his head: "However, it doesn't take too long, Yahoo's revenue for the whole year of this year has been able to achieve 1.6 billion USD or more, revenue growth in the first two years The rates are far more than 100%, then, in the next few years, as long as the annual revenue growth rate of Yahoo remains above 100%, in five years, in theory, the revenue of Yahoo should be able to reach about 50billion USD, according to 20% profit According to the rate calculation, by then, the annual profit of Yahoo should be 10billion USD. "
"10billion USD, is this unlikely? According to last year ’s Forbes data, no federal company has an annual profit of 10billion USD."
Eric said with a smile: "It's unlikely."
Actually, the reason why Yahoo can achieve revenue data above 1.6 billion USD this year is, on the one hand, because in the face of the upcoming listing, in order to make the financial report of Yahoo more attractive, Firefly system affiliated companies Yahoo carried out the appropriate transfer of benefits.
On the other hand, the surging wave of new technology has made the entire industry crazy to throw money. In order to promote its own website, the advertising orders and quotations received by the Yahoo portal and Yahoo Advertisement Alliance have increased significantly compared to last year.
If history does not change much, this great situation will continue next year.
However, once the Internet bubble bursts and the entire industry enters a state of cold winter for several years, it is not necessarily whether Yahoo's short-term revenue data can maintain the current status, let alone continue with 100% revenue growth next year. .
In the memory of Eric, the ice period after the bursting of the Internet bubble was actually not long, probably only two or three years. With the rapid popularity of the global broadband network and the substantial increase in the number of Internet users year after year, the Internet industry began to recover rapidly around 2005.
However, even if the Internet industry enters a cold winter state, the huge user base that continues to grow is in front of us. Yahoo only has no fatal errors in the direction of development. By 2005, even if the scale of annual profit 3billion USD cannot be achieved, it should Almost the same.
After a pause, Chris suddenly laughed again: "In fact, if you are not very familiar with your long-term planning for Yahoo, I can't help but feel that your statement about the importance of web portal in the interview is very reasonable. In the past few years, many people will definitely develop according to your theory, but they do n’t know what will happen. ”
A few years ago, Eric and Chris privately formulated the Yahoo development strategy of ‘Ming Xiu Zhandao Andu Chen Cang’. On the surface, Yahoo will focus on the web portal business and publicize the importance of the web portal business.
However, privately, Eric is still most concerned about the two major businesses of search engines and social networks. In memory, in addition to e-commerce, or you can add an online game, in addition, the Internet industry is only the two major businesses can bring very stable large-scale revenue.
"Everyone knows nothing about the future. However, judging from the growth rate of Google search engine users in the past six months, my strategy is not wrong. web portal Even if the scale is large, it is impossible to meet. With the differentiated needs of hundreds of millions of users, the future Internet content market will definitely show a more refined trend. The car website specializes in car information, and the electronic website specializes in electronic information, and we only need to provide users with Tools to easily find these. "
"However, Eric, have you ever thought about what if we turn to the search engine business in the future and the huge registered user group accumulated by Yahoo at this time, according to the calculation of global 300 million Internet users in 2000, Yahoo is confident to develop the scale of registered users Above 200 million, in the future, this scale will definitely be longer and larger? If it is simply abandoned, it will be a pity. "
"Of course, it is oriented to social networks," Eric said without hesitation: "Since we now have enough development funds, we do n’t have to wait for a few years to expand our social network business. Engine development goes hand in hand. "
According to the original plan of Eric, the development of social networks will not reach its peak until the advent of the mobile Internet era.
However, the rapid growth of the Yahoo blogging business in recent years has also allowed Eric to see other possibilities.
The market is made after all. In the past, the outbreak of social networks was actually a stable business model that was formed after many years of development of the Internet industry.
But at this time, since just knows was the right way at the beginning, Yahoo can also develop a brand-new social network model exclusively for the PC era.
Not to mention, as long as the Firefly electronic tablet is successfully launched, according to Eric's plan, social networks want to be mobile in advance, in fact, it is not a difficult thing.
So chatting, the two cars quickly returned to the Jeffrey farm.
Joanna and Vicky Nia greeted a few women together and saw three little guys around Jeffrey lively, so they felt relieved.
Only comparing the dirty looks of some three little guys and Eric's still meticulous clothing, Vicky Niya stared at Eric with some complaints.
Jeffrey dragged the deer and planned to peel it off personally. Both Emma and Kevin followed with excitement.
It's just that Hawaii who found Drew figure came from his father tightly, until the girl followed Joanna and they returned to the villa to prepare dinner, the little girl was relieved.
Over the years, Drew has become a deep shadow in Hawaii ’s heart. Poor little girl is so clever, but she just ca n’t understand why Aunt Drew is so terrible. What ’s more terrible is that Papa Mama, even Vicky Aunt, even I really like to see myself being bullied by my aunt Drew.
oh God, why is there such an illogical thing in this world?
Everyone is busy, but the two idlers Eric and Chris have nothing to do. Eric simply picked up the baby girl who was next to him and walked to the fireplace in the living room of the villa with Chris to sit down and continue the fire The topic just now.
Chris continued: “I think it ’s still a pity if it ’s just oriented to social networks, and a lot of people are actually not very interested in social networking.”
"Interests are cultivated, and even, we can further develop social networks into an essential tool in people's lives, just like search engines," Eric recalled the information in his memory, saying: "You Think about it, if one day, people can send party invitations through social network friend circles, or even become a trend, then if one does not want to be excluded by the surrounding people, he must have a social account. As long as he has a social account , This person will definitely not focus on practical functions such as invitations, they will certainly involuntarily interact with people around hell, which is determined by the entrenched group of creatures Basic Instinct, as long as they start to interact , For a long time, it will inevitably have a dependence on social networks. "
Chris listened carefully to the words of Eric, nodded, and suddenly laughed again: "The party invitation letter is indeed a good note, but it seems that you have not said it before, if you tell Ian this idea , They may have done it now. "
"You can discuss this with Ian if you have time. You can even do some party invited raffle promotion activities. Hollywood can provide a lot of fans' dream party opportunities." Eric will want to join the fireplace The daughter who was studying what was around grabbed it in her arms and said: "However, although I have a lot of whimsy in my head, I can't put too much energy on these trivial things. Yahoo now has more than 6000 The scale of employees, these talents are the main body that provides various ideas. If I need to do everything, what else do I have to pay to hire so many people? "
"What you said makes sense, but on the other hand, ordinary employees of Yahoo and even low-level management, even if they can come up with similar ideas and even make detailed project plans, in fact, no one can cause Ian They value it. "
"This is also inevitable," Eric thought for a while, and said: "So, I let my assistant's office open a special channel to accept the creative solutions of Yahoo employees. I spend a few hours a week. Above this. "
