Rebirth of the Financial Overlord - v7 Chapter 23

Matthew Lucas was previously a staff member of the venture capital department of Goldman Sachs. Through Huanghui International Relations, he was dug into the investment department of Nanbo Bank by the old turnip head.

　　 thirty years old.

　　 Science and engineering background, but selected computer industry.

　　 This is something Shen Jiannan values.

　　As a high-tech industry, the Internet and computers are also an exploratory industry for the United States. An outstanding young venture capitalist is naturally more capable of development than those experienced but solid thinking senior practitioners.

　　 Under the leadership of Matthew Lucas, Shen Jiannan went to Face Valley Technology Company.

　　 This high-tech technology company was founded by a Chinese American named Tang Dongfang. Six months ago, the company received 3 million US dollars in financing from Jiuding Capital, First International Capital, and Nanbo Bank No. 2 Fund.

　　 is mainly engaged in the information technology development industry.

　　 Of course, this is actually a casual game played by Shen Jiannan half a year ago.

　　 Tang Dongfang, a man who graduated from California Institute of Technology, was originally in the computer industry, so there is no problem with technology.

　　 And his family members are still in China.

　　 Shen Jiannan is very satisfied with this point. Tang Dongfang has worked in both Apple and Hewlett-Packard before that, mainly doing engineering computer research.

　　 With a salary of more than six thousand dollars, it is already regarded as a middle class in the United States.

　　 But this person has not completely forgotten his parents at home, and will send money home from time to time.

　　 Although it is a very common thing.

　　 Shen Jiannan would not think that such a person has a conscience at least.

of course.

　　 Shen Jiannan has never believed in how much a person’s conscience is worth. It is nothing more than the name of a Chinese-American who can avoid the review of US regulatory policies in the future.

　　The area of ​​the company is not large.

　　 Two-story office building, about 500 square meters.

　　There are Indian engineers, Chinese engineers, and white engineers. According to the requirements passed by Shen Jiannan, they mainly study the application of browsers.

at this time.

　　 With the arrival of Shen Jiannan, Tang Dongfang summoned several directors of the company and introduced them separately.

　　 Listening to these people reporting the development situation.

　　 Shen Jiannan didn’t move his eyelids. He was obviously not interested. When he met and said hello, he said to Tang Dongfang, “You know about the NCSA of the University of Illinois.”

　　 Tang Dongfang was puzzled, but he nodded and said, “Yes. They developed the MOSAIC browser, which has more color display functions than the World Wide Web.”

　　 Shen Jiannan nodded and asked, “What do you think?”

　　 This is a test question.

　　 Tang Dongfang thought for a while and said: “It is more attractive than the World Wide Web, but it does not have much advantage in data reading and office work.”

　　 really bad answer.

　　 However, Shen Jiannan also knows that people’s horizons are improved a little bit, and it is not an overnight effort to break the fixed logic of thinking.

“For the future development of Face Valley, we don’t need to move towards business development. Why does the company want to do information? Remember, it’s information technology. What we want to do is make everyone available on the Internet. Through our software, See the world.”

　　 Isn’t this… the role of the media?

　　 Tang Dongfang frowned, puzzled.

　　In his understanding, computers are used to calculate, and information is still a strange thing.

　　 Moreover, the major media giants have a monopoly on information, and it is difficult to compete with these giants with just a browser.

　　 Shen Jiannan saw that Tang Dongfang was at a loss, and felt a little helpless in his heart. It would take a long time for him to be a real shopkeeper.

He patiently explained: “For example, you can read newspapers via the Internet, and news from the world can be transmitted to all parts of the world via the Internet within a few seconds. Or, through a browser, you can watch movies, TV shows, etc. Or, we can use some kind of software for instant social networking.”

　　 “What we want to do is a world, an Internet world. Anything that can be done in reality can be done here.”

　　 “Of course, except having children.”

　　 “So for the future development of the company, my request is that you solve the technical barriers.”

　　 “……”

　　 An Internet world?

　　 can listen to songs.

Read newspapers.

　　Social.

watch movie.

　　 Even business transactions.

　　 Tang Dongfang’s vision seemed to be opened, and there was a kind of enlightenment in his heart.

　　 The University of Illinois was founded in 1867 and is one of the most influential public university systems in the United States. It has the reputation of “Public Ivy” and is well-known all over the world.

Among them, Urbana-Champaign is one of the top comprehensive research universities in the United States. It is also a founding member of the Ten American Alliance and a member of the American Association of Universities. Its comprehensive engineering strength ranks among the top five in the United States, and it is also world-class in the fields of science and social sciences. Level~www.mtlnovel.com~Welfare】Follow the public.. number【】, read books and draw cash/points every day!

　　 Thirty of the alumni who have studied and worked in this university won the Nobel Prize.

　　 And this university also nurtured the internet originator Mark Anderson and Jim Clark. It was the web browser software Mosaietscape they developed that finally opened the door to the internet world.

The Netscape company founded by 　　 is one of the world’s Internet giants.

　　 The reason why the two can achieve such an achievement is also inseparable from the famous American Computer Center at the University of Illinois.

at this time.

　　 Mark Anderson is facing the computer and is fixing some vulnerabilities in the program.

　　Because Mosaic is more suitable for use, but there are often some position errors. Anderson wants to perfect these things so that they can be fully used.

　　 Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted: “Mark, someone is looking for you.”

　　Who will find me?

　　 Mark Anderson was puzzled.

　　 When I went out and found a strange face, I became more confused.

It was Matthew Lucas who came here. He smiled and stretched out his hand and said: “Hello Mr. Anderson, I am Matthew Lucas. I come from Nanbo Bank and belong to First International Capital. I saw Mosaic in the Silicon Valley Science and Technology News. I am very interested in it. Do you have time to chat?”

Oh, God!

　　 Nanbo Bank, First International Capital!

　　 Originally, Mark Anderson was a little wary of the stranger he had never met before. Hearing the name of First International Capital, he was immediately excited and shook hands with Lucas.

no way.

　　 First International Capital’s name is really too big.

　　 makes Europe uneasy, God knows how much money is made.

　　 Even the new president is rumored to be supported by First International Capital.

　　 This kind of giant.

　　Whoever meets it will not be excited.

　　 After all, Mark Anderson is still very young, only twenty-two years old, completely unaware that the Big Mac like First International Capital is completely cannibalistic.

　　 excitedly shook hands with Matthew Lucas and said, “Of course, of course, it’s my honor.”

　　 Matthew Lucas looked at this excited young man with a strange look flashing in his eyes. As an investment banking elite, he could see that the young man in front of him had been restrained by himself.

　　 A feeling of pride emerges spontaneously.

　　 Going to any place to report the name of Capital One will always attract all kinds of admiration and awe.

　　 This feeling is awesome.

　　 Led by Matthew Lucas, the two went to a nearby coffee shop.

　　 After ordering coffee, Lucas stirred the spoon and asked, “I am very interested in your Mosaic. How much do you plan to sell?”

　　 Selling money?

　　 Mark Anderson hesitated and said, “This is the common result of Jim and I. We don’t want to sell him for money.”

Lucas was not surprised by this, saying: “Very ideal. At my age, I also want to make a career. However, I think you also know that investing in a company requires at least millions of dollars to start. , And competing with other companies is not so easy.”

　　 This is the truth.

　　 In addition to technology, entrepreneurship still requires a lot of financial support.

　　 Whether it is a new industry in Silicon Valley or in the past, there is no way to start a business without capital.

　　 Although Mark Anderson has a middle-class family and mastered the technology, it does not mean that he will be able to successfully start a business.

　　 This is very unrealistic.

　　 is like Truss.

　　 Despite having extremely sophisticated technology, in his field, no one can surpass the existence.

　　 but died in poverty.

　　 And Edison, who didn’t need technology, pushed this genius to a dead end.

　　Born in a capitalist country, Mark Anderson clearly knew the horror of capital.

　　 After considering his tone, Mark Anderson said, “If you want to buy the results of me and Jim, how much are you going to pay us?”

　　 Thinking of the boss’s explanation, Matthew Lucas took out a checkbook from his arms and said, “You fill it out yourself.”

　　The green checkbook is thick and thick.

　　 It feels like a dollar.

　　 Mark Anderson stared at the checkbook in his hand blankly, smashing his head a little confused.

　　 fill in casually?

　　 If you fill in ten million, wouldn’t you get ten million dollars?

　　 Ten million dollars?

How many things can 　　 buy?

　　The girl she likes flashed through her thoughts, the luxury cars she had been fond of for a long time, she also flashed through her thoughts, and the big villa she had been envious of…

　　 Mark Anderson swallowed.

　　 But after all, I dare not to fill it out by myself.

　　What a joke.

　　 A capitalist has never been a philanthropist, and he fills it out by himself, so it’s better to calculate whether the money will kill people.

　　 Looking at the checkbook right in front of him, Mark Anderson thought about a lot of things and pressed the greed in his heart, but he also made sure that the other party is determined to get the results of himself and his friends.

how much is it?

　　 It doesn’t make much sense.

Refuse?

just forget it.

　　 Even the outstanding geniuses like Truss and Jobs cannot resist the power of capital, and they have no right to refuse.

　　 After careful thinking, Mark Anderson said: “If we invest the results as shares, how many shares can we get.”

　　 This is a very clever answer.

　　Matthew Lucas held out a finger faintly.

　　 Mark Anderson took a look and said with some dissatisfaction: “Ten percent? This is too little.”

　　 Matthew Lucas shook his head and said, “No, one percent. Also, what we need is not the current Mosaic, but you and your partner.”

　　 Mark Anderson’s expression changed, he looked a little angry, and he clenched his fist and said, “One percent, we will never accept it.”

　　 Matthew Lucas was unmoved, and said lightly: “You should listen to me to finish.”

　　 Anderson thought for a while, his face sullen without moving.

Matthew Lucas took a sip of coffee and said: “We have established an information technology company in Silicon Valley. The current investment is three million US dollars. Next, we will establish the same in all states and even the world. Company. I can’t tell you the total amount of investment, but you can imagine how much money will be invested in one hundred or one thousand group companies.”

　　 “And you and your partner join the group, we can each give you one percent of the shares, are you satisfied with this?”

　　 Three million dollar companies, one hundred, one thousand?

　　 Mark Anderson opened his eyes wide, and could hardly believe what he heard.

　　 Doesn’t that mean that one percent of oneself, if it is a hundred, it will be three million U.S. dollars, and a thousand will get thirty million U.S. dollars.

　　 The anger just now disappeared.

　　 was replaced by a kind of excitement and excitement.

　　 Mark Anderson quickly said: “I’m sorry, my attitude just now. I am very satisfied with this condition, but I need to discuss it with my partner.”

　　 Matthew Lucas said calmly: ‘Of course, this is your right. But believe me, you will be grateful for joining First International Capital in the future. ’

　　 “……”

　　 soon.

　　 Mark Anderson hurried away.

　　 Matthew Lucas stood up, walked out of the cafe detained, and stood in front of a car with a respectful look.

　　 Soon, the window of the car was lowered and Shen Jiannan’s face appeared.

　　Matthew Lucas was very puzzled that his boss would personally see a trivial little person, but he didn’t know that Shen Jiannan just wanted to enjoy it and ruin the thrill of a legend.

　　 “Boss. He said he needs to discuss with his partner, but I’m sure they will be the same.”

　　 Shen Jiannan nodded ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Some regret to hear this answer, and some satisfaction to hear this answer.

　　 However, since these geniuses have made the right choice, it seems not bad.

　　 “After they join the company, the company will operate in the direction I said, and the patent must be applied for as soon as possible.”

　　 “Yes, boss. The Legal Department is already hiring talents in related industries as soon as possible, and it is expected to be completed by the end of this month.”

　　 “Very good. Regarding new companies in the field of information technology and computing, please pay more attention to them. If there are, do you know what to do?”

　　 “Understand.”

　　 The car gradually left.

　　 Matthew Lucas looked at the back of the car, still wondering why the boss would be so interested in a new industry.

　　 But, none of this is his business.

　　 Since the boss is optimistic about this industry, all he has to do is to acquire all related companies and destroy all disobedient companies.

　　 Money?

Ha ha.

　　 Anyway, a large number of venture capitalists continue to buy.

　　Capital One has never been short of money.

As Matthew Lucas expected, Mark Anderson returned the news that afternoon. Jim Clark agreed to join Face Valley Technology Company, but only slightly dissatisfied with the name of Face Valley Technology Company… ..
