Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire - v5 Chapter 895

“I like your research results very much. Let’s start a company together. I will give you 10% of the shares.”

originally–

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro were very excited about Xu Cun, a super famous, no, it should be said that he was super rich, who suddenly appeared and was optimistic about the Internet navigation service they created – they thought they might be very lucky to pull it. Their first VC investment!

But Xu Cun only gave them 20% of the shares. What is this, count them two working for Xu Cun?

Besides, there is no such thing as such an investment in the limelight. The first round of investment will take 90% of the shares. After the company really develops in the future, they may not even have 3% of the remaining shares, and it is still 2%. Individuals together are not even 3%!

Now Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are just two computer scholars, how could they conceal their true thoughts?

And Xu Cun is an old fried dough stick with 60 to 70 years of rich experience, how could he not see the true thoughts of Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro?

Xu Cun smiled and said, “Why, do you think I gave you too few shares?”

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro didn’t say a word at all, acquiescing to Xu Cun’s guess.

Xu Cun didn’t take it seriously, and said again: “You think I’m giving you less shares, that’s because you don’t know how much I’ve invested in you, I believe that as long as you know how much I’ve invested in you. , you will definitely not think that the shares I gave you are too small.”

Yang Zhiyuan couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Xu, how much are you going to invest for us?”

Hearing this, Xu Cun stretched out a finger and said, “You can guess.”

Seeing that Xu Cun stretched out a finger——

David Ferro guessed: “One million?” – For Xu Cun, a million dollars is nothing. The pocket money he gave a woman for a year was far more than this, but for the absolute For most people, in 1994, a million dollars was a huge sum of money, and most companies in Silicon Valley can’t raise that amount of money for their first round of financing, unless they are very promising companies. And the company also has promising products to hand.

Yang Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then guessed: “It should be 10 million, right?” – Yang Zhiyuan guessed based on Xu Cun’s fame and wealth and Xu Cun only gave them ten percent of the equity. In addition, if Xu Cun is willing to give 10 million US dollars, it means that Xu Cun is very sincere, and he and David Filo can also consider accepting the venture capital that Xu Cun gave them.

After David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan had guessed, Xu Cun said, “One hundred million.”

Xu Cun invested 100 million when he opened his mouth, not only because Xu Cun was bound to win Yahoo, but also because Yahoo was a money-burning gossip furnace at the beginning of its establishment—whether it was a portal website, a search engine, or even a small Mailboxes are extremely expensive in the initial stage, especially when they want to quickly seize the market. In the last life, Yahoo went public two years later, and the total stock price on the first day of listing reached $500 million, while Yahoo! The five-year turnover was only $1.3 million. It wasn’t until the end of 1996 that it made a mere $90,000. During this period, the venture capital burned incalculable money.

“One hundred million!”

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro’s pupils all shrank!

Soon, the smart brains of Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro began to spin quickly, “Ten percent of 100 million is 10 million, half of 10 million is 5 million, God, I’m a millionaire. , and five millionaires!”

After a while, David Ferro asked cautiously, “Mr. Xu, are you talking about US dollars?”

No wonder David Ferro asked this question, Xu Cun is a native of Hong Kong, and he is naturally used to measuring in Hong Kong dollars. If it is not US dollars but Hong Kong dollars, there is a huge gap of more than 80 million US dollars. In addition, if Xu Cun said it correctly It is Hong Kong dollar, they can accept it, but if Xu Cun said it is Japanese yen, then they will have nothing to rejoice!

Under the nervous gazes of David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan, Xu Cun smiled and said, “Of course, this is the United States, how can I say other currencies?”

With Xu Cun’s confirmation, David Ferro clenched his fists and slammed his fists, and then said excitedly, “oh, yeah!”

Yang Zhiyuan is no better than David Ferro, and he is also excited with his fists clenched!

After Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro had digested what Xu Cun said, Xu Cun said again: “Then I should be fine with the two of you to start a company in partnership, right?”

How could there be a problem with throwing out 100 million dollars at a time to smash two computer students who just walked out of the campus? What’s more, Xu Cun put forward many revolutionary suggestions to Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, and let Yang Zhiyuan And David Ferro regards Xu Cun as a god!

In fact-

Xu Cun did put a lot of thought into the construction of Yahoo~www.mtlnovel.com~—for half a month, Xu Cun went to Silicon Valley every day. It can be said that during the construction of Yahoo, Xu Cun not only went out Money is really worth it.

Compared with Netscape, Xu Cun really didn’t bother much—except for meeting Mark Anderson and Jim Clark on the way on the first day, Xu Cun only met them when they signed the contract, and the contract was still a dream. Signed by the estate.

In addition to Yahoo and Netscape, Xu Cun actually acquired a company, a game company, Blizzard.

Three years ago, three American college graduates, Mike Morwaime, Alan Adhan, and Frank Pierce, met because of a coincidental computer password, Joe, a stranger.

After graduation, the trio co-founded Silicon & Synapse.

In the 91st year of the company’s founding, the then Silicon and Synaptic Company used $40,000 in development funds and four months to develop a game called RPM Racing for Chaoren.

A year after the launch of the RPm race car, Silicon & Neurokey has released its first big hit on the Ultra-Ren platform – The Lost Vikings.

This year’s launch of Superman on the sFc platform is the first game released under the name of Blizzard.

The current Blizzard is not the one that has developed the world’s leading game companies such as Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo series, Overwatch, Hearthstone, World of Warcraft and other games, but just a small company with several small games .

Therefore, Xu Cun only spent 2.8 million US dollars to win 49% of Blizzard’s equity.

At the beginning of February, after dealing with Yahoo, Netscape, and Blizzard, Xu Cuncai brought the girls back to Xiangjiang to prepare for the Chinese New Year.
