Chapter 684: Throwing a Blizzard (4100+ Chapters~)
On the road from Irvine to Los Angeles, an old Chevrolet car was driving wildly. There were three young people sitting in the car, who seemed a little excited at this time.
"Mike, what do you think of my outfit? Would it be rude to meet Director Wu later?" Alan Adhan was sitting in the passenger seat, fiddling with an old, wrinkled suit that he found somewhere.
It seems very inconsistent.
Frank Pierce, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director Wu will definitely feel that you are very rude!"
Mike Mohan, who was driving, also helped: "Yes, I really don't know where you got these clothes. Didn't you look in the mirror when you went out?"
Alan Adhan's face turned slightly red and he said: "Why don't I invest all my money in the company, otherwise I can't even afford a suit?"
The three people driving on the road were none other than Mike Mohan, Frank Pierce, and Alan Adhan, who were later known as the Big Three of Blizzard.
When they went to Los Angeles this time, they also received an invitation from Wu Jianye.
Frank Pierce, who was in the back seat, said a little strangely: "You two, how did Director Wu know about us and ask his assistant to call us and say he wanted to invest in our company?"
Mike Mohan and Alan Adhan also looked confused. Their company had just been established not long ago. They didn't believe it was famous. Two days ago, in order to support the company's operations, they
Mike Mohan also borrowed a US$15,000 interest-free loan from his grandmother, but now he received a call from the famous North American director Wu Jianye, saying that he was very interested in their company. This kind of
This thing is even more unbelievable than pie in the sky, but it happened to them.
"I don't know about this, but what do you two think about Director Wu's investment?" Mike Mohan held the steering wheel with his left hand and asked the other two.
Frank Pierce was sitting in the back, with his hands on the two seats in front, leaning forward slightly and saying, "I think we should wait until we see Director Wu?"
Alan Adhan echoed: "I think so too, but you two say, how much money can Director Wu invest in us this time?"
Mike Mohan said: "It must be tens of thousands of dollars anyway. I heard that he signed a sharing agreement with Phantom Pictures for the filming of "Jurassic Park" this time!"
Frank Pierce sat in the back and said: "Even if you don't sign a profit sharing agreement, do you think Director Wu will be short of money? Think about the sales share of the novel "Jurassic Park", the sales of "Turn Out", and last year
The income from the hit "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is enough to make Director Wu's net worth over 100 million!"
Alan Adhan shook his head and said: "You are just talking about Director Wu's achievements in North America. You forgot that the newspaper also said that Director Wu is a shareholder of Fengge Media, the largest media group in Asia."
Mike Mohan said: "Okay, let's not talk about Director Wu's net worth. Now let's think about it. If Director Wu really plans to invest in our company, how much money should we ask for and how many shares should we release?"
The three of them are not the kind of people without far-sighted planning. When they heard someone investing in their company, they immediately couldn't tell the difference. The three of them could accept external investment, but for them, they still had to control the company.
Firmly in your own hands.
Along the way, the three young people's longing and expectations for the future finally arrived in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles before the agreed time.
Wu Jianye invited the three of them to meet at the manor. The three people's family conditions were actually good, otherwise they would not have chosen to start a business as soon as they graduated. However, when they saw Wu Jianye's manor, they were still a little surprised.
Under the leadership of the servant, the three entered the manor, and Lauren Donnell was already waiting for them in the parking lot.
After the two parties introduced each other, Laurent Tangnan took the three of them to the reception room of the manor.
Wu Jianye was sitting on the sofa reading the report on the reorganization of Phantom Media. After hearing the noise outside, he turned around and saw Lauren Donnell walking in with three young people.
After seeing Wu Jianye, Lauren Downer and the other two tried their best to calm down their emotions, and they didn't look so low. But it was their unconfident behavior that allowed Wu Jianye to see them clearly.
He was nervous inside, but he also smiled and did not expose them. With the introduction of Lauren Donnell, Wu Jianye knew the names of the three people.
He smiled and said: "Everyone, sit down. What would you like to drink?"
Mike Mohan put his hands on his knees. Although he had told himself countless times in his heart to be calmer when seeing Wu Jianye, when they really saw Wu Jianye, such warnings
It seems a bit unhelpful.
"Just drink coffee!" Lauren Donnell didn't even feel that her voice was trembling when she spoke.
The same goes for the other two.
Wu Jianye looked at the three young people and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. I have a friend who happens to be from the University of California. He told me that there are three good young people in the school who are now starting their own businesses. I am also
I prefer you energetic young people, so we can just chat briefly. If possible, I also want to see what young people like to play now!"
After finding a random excuse to explain away that he knew their reasons, Wu Jianye started chatting with the three of them.
When they talked about their company, the tension in the hearts of Mike Mohan and the other two people slowly disappeared. Wu Jianye listened to their views on their company and the game with a smile on his face.
Now the company founded by the three people is not called Blizzard, but called Silicon and Synapse Company, but this is not the point. As long as the three people are here, what kind of company name is not important to Wu Jianye.
So after listening to the descriptions of the three people, Wu Jianye smiled and said: "After listening to your descriptions, I realized that today's young people are really full of hope. I feel a little hopeful when I hear it!
"
The three of them had proud smiles on their faces when they heard that Wu Jianye spoke so highly of them.
Wu Jianye continued: "Well, since the three of you are so confident in your company, I can invest 200,000 US dollars in you as the company's starting capital!"
Mike Mohan and the others immediately showed expressions of surprise. The three of them originally thought that as long as they could get an investment of tens of thousands of dollars this time, it would be good. Wu Jianye was actually prepared to invest 200,000 for them. This made the three brothers
He seemed a little excited.
Wu Jianye looked at their expressions and smiled in his heart. He was still young. If he hadn't clearly known Blizzard's future achievements, he would have been able to obtain more favorable conditions for himself just by relying on the expressions of the three brothers.
In the end, Mike Mohan was the first to react and asked: "Director Wu, how many shares of our company are you planning to hold?"
When Mike Mohan asked this question, Frank Pierce and Alan Adham also reacted. They had said on the way here that the control of the company must be in their own hands. Now Wu Jianye came up with
With 200,000, you can almost buy several companies like theirs, and the shares Wu Jianye wants...
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know how an entrepreneur feels about his company, so I won't compete with you for control of the company!"
Hearing what Wu Jianye said, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they still had to see how many shares of the company Wu Jianye wanted to hold.
Wu Jianye did not keep the three of them waiting for long, and said directly: "I am personally very optimistic about the development of your company. Let's do this. For 200,000 US dollars, I only need 20% of the shares of Silicon and Synapse Company!"
After Wu Jianye finished speaking, the three of them could no longer calm down. It was not that the shares were too high, but that they were too low. In other words, as long as they accepted Wu Jianye's investment, then from a book perspective, their
The company’s market value has reached US$1 million!
"Director Wu, this..." For a moment, Mike Mohan and the others didn't know what to say. It was so generous, so generous that they were embarrassed!
Wu Jianye waved his hand with a smile and said, "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, I have a condition here!"
When the three heard that Wu Jianye had conditions, they quickly sat upright. Mike Mohan asked: "Director Wu, please tell me!"
Wu Jianye said: "My condition is that when Silicon and Synapse companies need to invest in the future, I must have priority investment rights!"
Wu Jianye is naturally not a charity. Even if he knows the future development of Blizzard, the current Blizzard is definitely not worth 200,000 US dollars. The reason why he wants to invest 200,000 US dollars is to first get the three
A young man full of entrepreneurial passion was frustrated. Only in this way could Wu Jianye put forward his request.
Needless to say, everyone knows how much money game companies spend. 200,000 may be a large sum of money for a newly established company, but for Blizzard, which is bound to become one of the most famous game companies in the world.
Speaking of which, it is estimated that they can only persist for a while.
Although Wu Jianye only holds 20% of the shares now, when Blizzard needs to continue to expand in the future, the conditions Wu Jianye proposes now will be the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the three.
Moreover, Wu Jianye has already asked someone to investigate the situation of the three of them. The three of them all attach great importance to the development of the company. In other words, if Wu Jianye comes up and asks for higher equity, the three of them will definitely not agree.
.
So the old fried dough sticks are the old fried dough sticks!
Sure enough, Wu Jianye at this time saw the horseman Bole in the eyes of the three people. Although they did not know this sentence, what they were thinking in their hearts must be similar to this.
As for the requirements mentioned by Wu Jianye, in the opinion of the three people, there is no big problem. Anyway, if the company needs financing in the future, where will the financing be not financing?
At this time, the three of them were really just young people. Although they were much better than ordinary young people, they had too little life experience and easily fell into the pit that Wu Jianye had buried.
So after Wu Jianye made this request, the three of them agreed to Wu Jianye's request after just a brief discussion.
Wu Jianye saw the three people agreeing to his request, and smiled and asked Lauren Donnell to take over the contract that had been prepared long ago.
"This is a specific contract. You three can take a good look at it. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask the lawyer." Wu Jianye handed the contract to the three of them generously and said with a smile.
Having said that, Wu Jianye did not prepare a lawyer in the living room, which meant that the three of them had to find their own lawyer if they wanted to ask for a lawyer. But they were a newly established company, so where could they find a lawyer?
So the three of them just got together and carefully studied the contents of the contract, without any intention of asking anyone.
However, the three of them noticed that the investor did not invest in Wu Jianye's personal name, but from an investment company called Lutai Investment.
The three of them started their own business just after graduation, so they know little about it. Although Lutai Investment has little concept in the eyes of ordinary people, it is now an investment company that attracts great attention on Wall Street.
Among the shareholders of many high-quality companies such as Berkshire, Microsoft, Apple, and Cisco, Lutai Investment is present. Although it is not the largest shareholder among them, its shareholding is on the middle to high side, or even higher.
Is Berkshire’s second largest shareholder!
If the company of Mike Mohan and his trio was known to have received investment from Lutai Investment, then the valuation of their company would definitely double even if it was still in a garage!
After reading the contents of the contract, the three people discussed it and signed their names.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. Someone has already transferred the money to the company's account. You can call to check!"
Mike Mohan's face flushed, "It's a pleasure to work with you. Director Wu, thank you very much for your trust in our company!"
Wu Jianye: "Okay, now that we've finished talking about the business, the three of us will stay here to have lunch together before going back!"
.......
Li Xiuming is back in New York!
Now that she has decided to stay in North America for development, Li Xiuming has also made her life busy. First, she decided to go to New York to finish her previous work, and then decided to use New York as the starting point for her career in North America.
, or Los Angeles!
Wu Jianye naturally had no objection to this!
The little guy Wu Luoxin followed Li Xiuming. In order to take care of Wu Luoxin, Wu Jianye directly hired a group of people to take care of Wu Luoxin's life according to the standards of a princess.
After seeing off Mike Mohan and the others, Wu Jianye, who was quite bored, had no choice but to continue writing the script in the study.
Thanks to the gradual spread of computer functions, Wu Jianye has finally gotten rid of the process of writing scripts by hand when he was reborn.
When the time came to around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lauren Donnell found Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, it's almost time. The appointment with Aniston is coming soon!"
Wu Jianye glanced at the time, nodded, and said, "Let's go!"
Of course, you can’t meet Aniston at the manor anymore!
