If compared with the future market value, ten million US dollars is simply a bargain price. It is extremely cheap. Even if it is not compared with the future market value, today, when Internet stocks are soaring, a very promising Internet company is worth 100%.
The stock price of Thirty-Five is only US$10 million. It can only be said that Larry Page and Sergey Brin are not very courageous.
Jiang Hua suppressed the excitement in his heart and wanted to agree immediately, but then he thought about it and couldn't agree so happily. Chen Liuzi from Dayan Fang once said that if this businessman knew that his goods were sold cheaply, he would feel bad in his heart.
It's as disgusting as a fly. If we work together in the future, at least it will make people happy.
"Ten million dollars seems a bit much for a small company like yours in a garage. When I invested in Compaq, it only cost one million dollars."
Sergey Brin danced excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, you just said that our products are works of art that change the times. How can works of art be cheap?"
"I think the most important thing is to change the world and the Internet." Larry Page said calmly: "Products that can change the world and the Internet are destined to be extraordinary. This indicates that you are actually quite optimistic about our company.
Since we have good prospects, your spending of ten million shouldn’t be too much. What you are investing in is the future.”
Jiang Hua nodded slowly and looked embarrassed: "You two, you must know that there is no inevitable relationship between a company's prospects and whether it can be successful. There is an old saying among us flower growers: the right time, the right place and the right people.
If all three are present, it is still possible to succeed. That is to say, a variety of factors need to be combined to make it possible for a company to grow and expand. Google's future is bright. But whether it can become stronger, I can't say."
Larry Page pointed to himself and Sergey Brin: "We have the best technical staff. If you are willing to invest in us, we have the best investors. At the same time, you will also bring us the best
For business channels, we only need to find the best operator, and there will be no limit to Google’s future.”
"I have to say that you have clear goals and firm will. You need to find a more suitable operator."
In fact, Larry Page is a more suitable operator. He has served as the CEO of Google twice and brought Google to a height that people look up to.
Larry Page stood in front silently and recommended himself: "If you have no objection, I would like to be the first CEO."
"Of course I have no objection. Entrepreneurs are always full of passion, and they know their products best. If you become the CEO, then Sergey will be the technical director."
"Of course, he deserves this position."
Jiang Hua smiled: "Well, I have no problem now. Ten million dollars is not a problem. We just need to find a lawyer to draft a contract for us now."
There are not many countries in this ugly country, and there are lawyers all over the streets. I found the best business lawyer in Mountain View and drafted a very reasonable contract for them. Both parties signed their names, and Jiang Hua officially became a member of Google.
.
"From now on, we are partners." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "To celebrate, let's go to San Francisco to find a most popular restaurant, and I'll treat you to a big meal."
On this night, Sergey Brin and Larry Page enjoyed their first feast in their lives, three Michelin stars, $10,000 of red wine, wagyu beef, top-quality truffles and caviar.
In the evening, Jiang Hua opened a room in a five-star hotel: "Two future billionaires, please have a good rest. I will take you to visit the boss of Yahoo tomorrow."
The next day, Representative Jiang Hua took them to visit the boss of Yahoo. In the next three days, Jiang Hua took them to visit many big figures in the Internet industry, including Bill and Steve, and even Compaq.
.
Although I only had a cursory conversation with these people, they all knew that the Internet would usher in two upstarts, and what they had in their hands was enough to change the landscape.
Jiang Hua took Larry Page and Sergey Brin around and successfully attracted the attention of many investors.
The smell of wealth cannot be concealed. Soon, companies like Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan all knew what Google was doing, and they all offered olive branches to this small company.
Jiang Hua met with those who invested in the fund on their behalf: "Unfortunately, you are late. We have completed the first round, but don't worry, there will be financing plans in the future."
This is the basic rule of doing business in the Ugly Country. You cannot go it alone, you must share the benefits. Otherwise, Jiang Hua's financial resources alone can support Google, but it will soon be squeezed out to the point where it cannot continue.
After receiving the promise of a second round of financing plan, the investment fund let these two poor programmers go and let them resume their work.
Next, they want to expand the company, rent offices, and hire more technical staff. Larry Page does all of this himself. Obviously, the future CEO also enjoys it.
Before leaving, he gave them the money, left his business card, and a check for one hundred thousand dollars.
"Change to a better living environment and buy some smart clothes. You will need to see many big scenes in the future. These are necessities."
Larry Page sent Jiang Hua to the airport in San Francisco. After seeing Jiang Hua boarding the plane, the plane soared into the blue sky. Larry Page could not restrain his excitement. Next, it was time for them to show off their grand ambitions.
Sitting on the plane, Jiang Hua was also very excited. He had not shown excessive excitement in the past few days. He had been secretly holding back. The ten million now can be exchanged for three hundred billion in the future. This deal is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.
of.
When Jiang Hua came to work at the institute again, Zheng Tong looked at him with a smile: "This time you kept your word. You said you would be back in seven days."
"That's necessary. A man's spit will not make a nail in his mouth."
Zheng Tong threw a document to Jiang Hua: "It's the land you asked my deputy to buy for you. It's on the edge of the Third Ring Road and the area is quite small. Don't you like real estate? Why did you suddenly buy a piece of land?"
"It was done so quickly, which is beyond my expectation." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I really don't like real estate very much, but buying land does not mean it is used for real estate."
"The third ring road will be equivalent to the city center in the future." Zheng Tong shook his head: "You spend a lot of money to buy such a piece of land. If you don't do real estate, I can't imagine what else you can do."
"Our dream." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "Didn't I always say that I wanted to build a museum?"
