Chapter nine hundred and sixty-seven the flag of the king changing the city head
When he heard that Song Yang was going to invest in Google, Khosla thought about asking KPCB Venture Capital to get involved and get a ride, but then he heard something that surprised him.
icq CEO Erin Doherty is leaving for Google?!
Regardless of Eileen's abilities or how she is doing within ICQ, just being a CEO worth 400 billion US dollars allows Eileen to basically rank in the top five in the ranking of professional managers in America, or even
It's the top three!
No matter what the reason is for such a person to leave icq and join Google, as soon as the news gets out, it is estimated that the entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street will immediately explode.
If we only invest money, kpcb venture capital can still compete with Song Yang. But if Irene joins Google, what will kpcb venture capital fight for? Who can kpcb venture capital attract who can compare with Irene's status in the world?
President of Google?!
Larry Page and Sergey Brin were holding wine glasses and looking at Erin blankly. At this time, there was only a "buzzing" sound in their minds. They didn't know if what they heard was true.
Larry and Brin came here today with some expectations, but no matter how much they looked forward to, they never expected that such a big pie could fall from the sky!
Not to mention getting Song Yang’s investment, Irene, the Queen of the Internet, actually wants to visit Google?
It doesn’t matter what the outside world thinks of Erin, but in the eyes of many small and medium-sized Internet companies in Silicon Valley and outsiders, Erin is the queen of the Internet industry. She is one of the first big names to join the Internet industry and is one of the founding team members of Double Click.
, served as the chief assistant of the American Internet Advertising Association, one of the founding team members of icq, and is still one of the presidents of the American Internet Association.
No matter in terms of qualifications, experience, connections, influence, etc., Erin is a representative figure of female practitioners in Silicon Valley!
How could such a "big shot" not be surprised when he proposed to join Google, which was not well-known and could not even sell his job?
"certainly!"
No matter how talented Larry Page and Sergey Brin are, they can't help but stutter a little when talking at this time.
No matter how slow your brain reaction is, no matter how inexperienced you are, you all know that Google is probably going to skyrocket. Yesterday, it was looked down upon by Yahoo, Excite, etc. After today, I am afraid that some of you will not be able to reach it.
"Mr. Kosla, do you have anything to say?!" Song Yang looked at Kosla who was hesitant to speak.
Khosla smiled bitterly. Silicon Valley is a magical place. It might have been worthless yesterday, but it might be worth looking up to today.
Khosla can be considered a veteran of Silicon Valley, but no matter how experienced he is, he never expected that a "broken" company like Google could have the experience of turning a crow into a phoenix, and he did it in just an instant, and got Song Yang
Not to mention the venture capital, Irene can also be appointed as president.
Even though Irene only said that she wanted to join Google and did not say what position she would hold, with Irene's identity and status, she immediately became the Queen of Google when she went to Google. Basically, all of Google's finance, personnel, management rights, etc. went to Irene.
Hands on, even if she is not the president of Google!
"KPCB is willing to invest in Google for US$30 million in exchange for 10% of Google's equity!"
Khosla knew that at this time, he was suspected of being slapped in the face. When Google was valued at one million US dollars, he didn't want it, but now he actually gave out 30 million US dollars, just to exchange for 10% of Google's equity and get a Google board of directors.
of admission tickets.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin saw it today, and it was an eye-opening feeling. In just a short time, Google's valuation soared from less than one million US dollars to four hundred and sixty-six dollars.
One hundred thousand US dollars, now it has soared to 300 million US dollars!
Even in my wildest dreams, I probably wouldn't be able to do something like this. The speed of the money printing press can't keep up with the soaring valuation of Google. It's just too damn fast.
In the blink of an eye, Larry Page and Sergey Brin also experienced a Silicon Valley legend, going from being worthless to becoming multi-millionaires?!
Larry Page and Sergey Brin's hands holding the wine glass turned a little white because they were holding the wine glass too hard. They looked at Song Yang nervously.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who came out of Stanford, are naturally self-aware. Ever since Song Yang proposed investing in Google, the two of them have consciously corrected their status. Song Yang is now
He is the majority shareholder of Google.
As for regretting it?!
It takes a crazy person to say that he regrets and doesn't want Song Yang to invest.
Why did Eileen join Google? Why did Khosla rush to invest tens of millions of dollars in Google? The premise of all this is that Song Yang wants to invest in Google and is optimistic about Google. Otherwise, Google will still be the one that no one can
I look down on Google, which has so many search brands, and is just like a butcher. Without a butcher, there will be no meat left, right?
It has to be said that Khosla definitely has the courage to become a partner of kpcb Venture Capital, one of the twin stars of Silicon Valley venture capital.
Seeing that Google might skyrocket, I immediately wanted to spend a lot of money to enter the market without any hesitation or even mention reporting to the KPCB board of directors.
Song Yang was naturally satisfied when he heard that KPCB Venture Capital wanted to send money to Google and provide Google with ammunition instead of having to invest money for Google to burn. However, he only invested 30 million U.S. dollars and wanted to take away 10% of Google's equity. Song Yang
Yang was a little dissatisfied.
Song Yang has a golden brand, coupled with Irene's joining, and the resources invested by icq, paypal, Xueleshan online platform, etc., if the bidding is open, some will be taken advantage of and willing to use money to destroy Google.
"With US$100 million, KPCB Ventures can get 10% of Google's equity!"
Larry Page, who had just taken a sip of wine, suddenly started coughing. Sergey Brin was not much better. Just now, Khosla valued Google at US$300 million. They felt it was an exaggeration.
, which has increased more than three hundred times compared to Google’s previous valuation.
But now, Song Yang has once again raised Google's valuation by three times, reaching an astonishing one billion US dollars. This is exactly how he is cutting the leeks of KPCB Venture Capital.
Khosla raised his head, glanced at Larry Page, the two "lucky ones" who had just risen from multi-millionaires to billionaires, frowned, and with disbelief on their faces, they nodded and agreed to the deal.
Amazing venture capital!
Now it seems that spending $100 million on Google in exchange for 10% of Google's equity seems to be a bit of a loss.
But Khosla is betting that Google's future valuation will definitely be more than one billion US dollars, betting that Google can be listed on the Nasdaq!
Seeing that Khosla agreed to the venture capital investment of US$100 million without even counter-offering, Song Yang knew that he had made up his mind.
Song Yang nodded to Marcus and asked him to formulate an agreement. With the money from KPCB Venture Capital, it would be enough to sustain Google's early development. When Google's advertising revenue gets on track, there will be another one.
With the money printing machine turned on, there is no need to worry about whether the money is enough...
When Google went public, there was no shortage of money at all. The bidding advertising model made advertisers rush to send money to Google. There was no debt at all. Venture capital companies and Wall Street wanted to invest in Google, but they couldn't find opportunities to send money.
As a last resort, they began to force Google to go public so that they could obtain Google's equity. Otherwise, how would Google dare to use the "Dutch Auction" to sell shares at sky-high prices to raise funds.
"In the future Internet, there will only be search, not portals!"
Song Yang raised his glass and clinked it with Erin, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Khosla. Then, in the first sentence of the opening sentence, he once again said something astonishing, leaving Larry Page and others stunned.
There.
As the representative of portal websites, Yahoo is now very popular. Google is trying to acquire it, but no one wants Google.
Now Song Yang tells them that in the future Google will be much more prosperous than Yahoo, or even replace Yahoo?!
Not to mention Larry and the others, who had a serious impact on their outlook today, Khosla had to take a big gulp of wine to calm down his shock.
"Of course, this will not happen overnight, but search may become one of the mainstreams of the Internet in the future, just like today's browser, becoming the door to the Internet industry!"
“What Google needs to do now is to become the largest search brand in the Internet market!”
