"YAHOO? What does this mean? What kind of company is this? It was only established at the end of last year. It has only been five months. What achievements has it made?"
one shareholder asked.
"What's it for? Didn't it say it in the introduction? It's... provided in a classified website directory. What does this mean?"
The other person wanted to explain, but he didn't understand either.
"Everyone, you should learn some knowledge about the Internet. We, Fengxing Tianxia, want to be the best venture capital company. The future is the world of the Internet. If you don't know what the Internet is, then others will question us."
Liu Lang looked at these people and smiled and said, these shareholders are all tycoons in the entertainment industry, and they really don't understand the new industry of the Internet. They don't know that the future entertainment industry will rely on the Internet to make more money.
"Jimmy, it doesn't matter if we don't understand, as long as you understand. In a word, we listen to you!"
A major shareholder of Fox Corporation said that he was "shameless".
"Yes, we just make money, everything is up to you!"
Others also agreed one after another.
"Okay, okay, listen to me. Then call the two founders of YAHOO, um, Yang and David, over for a talk!"
YAHOO is the famous Yahoo in the previous life. If there is a symbol of the Internet era, then more than 90% of people will rate the establishment of this company as a symbol of the Internet era. As some experts said: Everyone
I know that one day the Internet will change the entire world, but without YAHOO! I am afraid that no one can even touch the door.
That's right, the company introduction Liu Lang is holding now is this Yahoo company, a small company established in Silicon Valley in November 1991 with only seven people.
When the two founders of Yahoo came to Fengxing Investment Company, they still had expressions of disbelief. Their company was founded less than half a year ago, and the technology was not yet mature. They just had an idea. In this case, there were actually venture capital investors.
The company took the initiative to come to our door.
Of course, there are already many Internet-related companies in Silicon Valley. The more famous one is Netscape, which has been sought after by the capital market. It is said that it will go public this year. After all, Netscape has been established for two years, and Yahoo cannot compare.
, just as young as the two founders in front of me.
"Are you Yang Jingyuan, the founder of Yahoo? A Chinese?"
A shareholder from Fengxing Tianxia looked at one of the people and asked, in fact, he didn't know if the other person was Chinese. East Asians all look similar, but he is most familiar with Chinese people. After all, Liu Lang is a Chinese, and many Americans pass Liu Lang.
Lang got to know China.
"Well, I came to the United States from Wanwan when I was two years old, and I am now a junior at Stanford University."
Yang Jingyuan replied.
Liu Lang looked at these two people from the side, especially this Yang Jingyuan. He was the same as the photos on the Internet in his previous life. He looked like a typical Chinese, with small eyes, wearing a pair of big glasses, and looked a bit scholarly.
"Jimmy, this is your compatriot and your junior fellow student!"
Another shareholder looked at Liu Lang.
"That's right, Mr. Yang Jingyuan, Mr. Ferro, please introduce yourself. I am Jimmy Liu, shareholder and chief analyst of Fengxing Tianxia Investment. It's a pleasure to meet you two."
Liu Lang introduced himself to the other party, and then what he expected happened.
"What? Are you Mr. Jimmy, that genius boy? God, it's really you!"
The two people across from each other shouted out at the same time, with such deep emotion that they were like fans seeing their idols.
Several other shareholders in Fengxing Tianxia were not surprised. The two founders of Netscape were both in their forties, and they had similar expressions when they saw Liu Lang for the first time.
They don't understand why these Internet geniuses all look the same when they see Liu Lang. Shouldn't geniuses have their own arrogance?
Of course they can't understand it, because they don't know the status of the book "Digital Survival" in the Internet industry.
This book can be said to be the "Bible" of Internet people. There is no one who is currently engaged in Internet companies who has not read this book, and they have all found inspiration in the book. In some respects, there is no such thing as this book.
There would be no business for them.
It is not an exaggeration to say that in this life, Internet companies such as Netscape and Yahoo were established earlier than in the previous life. In the previous life, Yahoo should have been established at the end of 1993, but in this life it was two years earlier.
It was established at the end of the year. This is the impact of "Digital Survival". Now it seems that this impact has affected the Internet era.
Yang Jingyuan has a different feeling for Liu Lang than others. Both of them are Chinese and both are students at Stanford. It's just that he is an undergraduate now and Liu Lang is a graduate student, so Yang Jingyuan is still Liu Lang's junior student.
Well, Yang Jingyuan is actually thirteen years older than Liu Lang. There is nothing we can do about it, so there is no need to compete with Liu Lang in age.
This meeting was not very long. The negotiation between the two parties ended within an hour. In fact, in less than an hour, only ten minutes, Yang Jingyuan and Fei Luo agreed to the conditions proposed by Liu Lang. The remaining time was just
It's just chatting.
Ten million US dollars for 30% of the shares, this is the price Liu Lang proposed. If they still need capital injection later, he can increase the investment.
When Yang Jingyuan and Ferro almost sat on the ground when they heard the price, it was ten million US dollars! What kind of concept is this? An astronomical figure.
Netscape also received an investment of 10 million US dollars last year, and Fengxingtianxia received 20% of the shares. Their price tag was higher than Yahoo, but at that time Netscape was already well-known in Silicon Valley, and the two founders
They are not young boys, they are all university professors. In addition, many venture capital companies are also eyeing them. Fengxing Tianxia has to offer a sufficient price to impress them.
What is Yahoo? It has only been established for half a year, and the so-called search engine product is only in its infancy, and many people are not optimistic about their product. Under such conditions, Liu Lang decided to invest 10 million US dollars, not to mention such a price.
It's 30%, even 50% will accept it.
But they are not fools. Liu Lang can invest 10 million yuan, which shows that he is very optimistic about their project. Can a project that is valued by the first person on the Internet be inferior? What the two gain more is confidence, which is more important than money.
.
The two parties quickly signed the contract. After the contract was negotiated, everyone became a family. Because Yang Jingyuan and Ferro were both very young, both in their twenties, the shareholders were very curious about them.
, especially Yang Jingyuan’s Chinese identity.
"Jimmy, you are from northern Liaoning, China. Where in China is this young man Yang from?"
