It was a pleasure to approve the money today, but Zheng Tong and the financial staff have a headache. They prepare a budget for the second year at the end of every year. Unless there are special circumstances, they generally do not make additional appropriations.
This year, the funds reserved at full budget were only about 200 million, because if the money was not enough for some projects, additional investment could be made. As a result, Jianghua built half of it in one day.
Zheng Tong rested for three days. After three days, he saw the documents given to him by the Finance Department and became furious: "Jiang Hua, it's not a good idea to let your kid take over. This year's emergency fund totals 200 million.
I already spent 50 million in September, and you made 100 million for me in one day. If someone comes to apply for funds later, what should I do if I can’t get it?"
"It's not like we don't have money in the institute." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "Can't we just get some of the money out when the time comes?"
"Are you managing a company?" Zheng Tong shook his head: "There is no plan at all. No wonder you never interfere in specific affairs. If you interfere in specific affairs, it will be really chaotic."
"This is why I have always been a hands-off shopkeeper, because specific matters are not what I am good at. I use my strengths to avoid weaknesses."
Zheng Tong sighed: "The only thing you have is your mouth. If you want to go to Chou Country, hurry up. As long as I see you, I will feel bad."
"Look, this is also called a method. I always have a way to get the work you gave me back to you."
Zheng Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I really owe you eight generations of ancestors. I am here to repay your debt in this life."
The next day, Jianghua flew directly to California and arrived in San Francisco.
1998 was a year when technology boomed. In this year, in a garage in Mountain View, a great product was born, which the world is accustomed to calling Google.
The founders of Google were Stanford University students Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They added an exclamation mark after Google to pay tribute to Yahoo. Later, Yahoo fell, but Google has always occupied the top 100 search engines in the world.
Ninety percent of the market has a market value of over one trillion US dollars.
After taking a good rest in San Francisco, Jiang Hua rented a car and rushed directly to Mountain View.
After careful inquiry, he found the garage. It was a very simple garage, just like the garages used by Steve Jobs and Compaq.
When he happened to find them, the two of them were coding excitedly on the keyboard. Jiang Hua knocked on the garage door: "Hey man, can we talk?"
Sergey Brin was a bit arrogant, so Larry Page stood up and said, "Hello, are you looking for us?"
Jiang Hua nodded: "Yes, I heard that another great product was born in the garage, so I wanted to take a look. If possible, I hope you can accept my investment."
Larry Page's eyes lit up: "Of course, please come in and sit. Of course it's quite messy in here. I hope you won't dislike it."
Handing Jiang Hua a can of Coca-Cola, Larry Page sat across from Jiang Hua and said with a smile: "What you just said is right. There is indeed a great product born in the garage."
"The Ugly Country's garage is a magical place where great products are always born. Steve Jobs's computers and Compaq's computers were all born in the garage. Okay, show me your products."
Larry Page turned his computer screen to face Jiahua, and then he tapped on the keyboard and a very simple page appeared.
Then he took the trouble to explain the principles and effects to Jiang Hua over and over again, with Sergey Brin sitting next to him occasionally adding a word or two.
What Sergey Brin talks about is generally more advanced, but Larry Page will translate it for him in layman's terms.
"It is indeed a very great product." Jiang Hua smiled and nodded: "You two are very good partners. I am very optimistic about your website. Let's make a price."
Sergey Brin said nervously: "We don't sell our website."
Then you nodded in agreement, and then looked at Jiang Hua: "We don't know who you are yet."
"My name is Jiang Hua, a shareholder of Yahoo, and also a shareholder of Microsoft, Apple and Compaq."
"Is that Xiangjiang Cube your work?" Larry Page said with a smile: "It's a very classic game."
"Compared with your website, it's not worth mentioning. Mine is just a game. You are a great work of art that can change the world and the Internet landscape." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I never like to rob other people's achievements.
Please give me a price for how many shares you are willing to transfer, and I can invest in you and make you more glorious and stronger faster."
"Okay, let us discuss it."
Jiang Hua nodded and opened the lid of the can. Larry Page and Sergey Brin walked to the corner. Larry Page said excitedly: "This is an opportunity for us. Do you know who he is? He is the most popular person in Silicon Valley."
One of the great investors, he has countless dollars and connections that can help us expand our territory quickly, and I think we can give him a little more shares."
Sergey Brin pushed up his glasses: "Of course I agree with your decision. The question is how many shares should we give him and how much should we ask him for?"
"How about thirty percent? We still have absolute power." Larry Page said with a smile: "There has always been a legend about him in Silicon Valley. He doesn't like to get involved in the company's operations. This is just right for a company like ours. We
We can build the company of our imagination as much as we want.”
"If he's not satisfied with 30%."
Larry Page gritted his teeth and said: "Add another five percent at most. I think he will be satisfied. According to rumors, he is not the kind of greedy person."
Sergey Brin nodded: "There is another key question, how much should we ask for?"
"How about five million?"
Sergey Brin nodded, then shook his head: "What he just said is that this is a great work of art. Great works of art should not be so cheap. I think 10 million is more appropriate."
"Then we'll make an offer of 10 million. If he doesn't want to, we'll look back slowly." Larry Page nodded: "In short, we can't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime gathering. If between us in a while,
If the negotiations between us are at a stalemate, please be there to relax."
Sergey Brin nodded, but he was actually beating a drum in his heart. He was not good at this kind of interpersonal communication, so he didn't feel confident if he was asked to calm down next to him.
"Mr. Jiang, we can transfer 30% of the shares, and you will be the largest shareholder besides me and Sergey."
Jiang Hua frowned: "It's less, please add a little more."
"Thirty-five percent at most." Larry Page raised a finger: "We want ten million dollars."
