I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 163 Don't use that set (reward plus more)

"You invest in us?"

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other, their expressions moving.

"Yes." Lin Xiao said provocatively: "I don't need to spend so much money now, but you need money."

"More importantly, we all like the Internet. You can regard me as an angel investor. I don't care whether you make a profit. In my opinion, if the product is well done, one day you will find a suitable business model."

"Besides, I'm still an entrepreneur. Our communication can be about how the company can do better, instead of a director or CEO watching you every day, whether you have betrayed the interests of investors."

"Honestly, I don't even have to do the due diligence, you guys just have to show me that your product is really good and that's it."

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other again, and both of them were a little moved.

Yes, it is much easier to find an angel investor than to find a venture capital investor in the early stage.

This is why the two of them will come to the school to find investment instead of venture capital.

What moved them the most was that Lin Xiaotong was a young man and an entrepreneur. In their opinion, he was undoubtedly the most ideal investor.

Larry Page and the two obviously had a tacit understanding. They knew each other's wishes when they saw each other's expressions, so at this time Larry Page said:
"Lin, I think this is a really good idea. Why don't you go to our company and have a look at our search engine."

Although Lin Xiao already knew how good Google is, and wished to talk about specific things now, but the scene still needs to be sufficient, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there now."

With that said, Lin Xiao and the others greeted Tang Xingchang and Massimo Maricchio, and after the two professors agreed, the three left the school.

"Guys, are you working in a garage?"

Thinking of the famous garage business in the United States, Lin Xiao asked the two of them.

"It used to be, but now our company has 8 people, so we moved out of the garage and rented an office in the first two months." Sergey Brin replied.

The two immediately took Lin Xiao to their newly rented office building on the first floor. The two offices seemed a little crowded. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that the world's best search engine will be born in such a simple place.

Of course, in the previous life, Google was not just an exploration engine, its business touched various fields, and eventually became the world's largest Internet company.

Larry Page brought Lin Xiao to a computer, opened the Google search engine, and introduced it.

"Lin, this is our search engine."

"Google uses the PageRank algorithm, which is unique to us. We describe the Internet with a graph or a matrix, and each website is like a node, and the link of each web page is like an arc. We use each Those nodes in the arc that best match the search information are captured."

Lin Xiao was a little confused, but this did not prevent him from praising.

"Great idea, your search engine is very simple and easy to use, I want to say, I like this search engine, and I believe more and more people will like it."

Both Larry Page and Sergey Brin showed happy smiles on their faces. After all, no one doesn't like others to praise their products.

"Okay, Larry, Sergey, let's talk about investing. I think it's worth putting the money I made in the stock market into a product like this."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Larry Page and Sergey Brin completely changed from the excitement when Lin Xiao said about investing, but became very calm.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two people, Lin Xiao also cheered up, after all, the two people opposite were very shrewd.

"Lin, we want to know how much you are willing to invest in the company." Larry Page asked Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao didn't answer directly after listening, but asked back: "Before that, I want to hear your current valuation of the company."

"Google's current business is developing very well, and it is also very fast. When we founded, we only received 10 yuan for 10% of the shares. When we received investment from angel investors a few months ago, we received 10 million yuan for 100% of the shares. At that time, the company’s valuation was 1000 million yuan.”

Larry Page did not directly answer Lin Xiao's words, but pulled out the previous round of financing to prove that his company was already very valuable.

After saying this, Larry Page deliberately paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Xiao, as if he was waiting for Lin Xiao to ask about his current valuation again.

However, Lin Xiao was more patient than he imagined, he just nodded and didn't speak.

There was silence in the room for about ten seconds before Larry Page said again: "Now, our valuation is 1.2 million yuan."

"This valuation is completely reasonable. We now have the most accurate search technology in the world, and our users are increasing every day..."

Larry Page continued to talk about how good the current Google is, and how many users use Google search every day.

And these, Lin Xiao didn't listen very carefully. After Larry Page said the valuation, he had already started to calculate it in his heart.

Is Google's valuation high?If you never look at it, this valuation is not high.

Even now, it is not inflated. In the previous life, Google raised 2500 million yuan this year, which was invested by the world's two largest venture capital companies, Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins. The two companies each accounted for 10% of Google's investment. % of shares.

From this point of view, Google's valuation is 1.25 million yuan.

Therefore, Larry Page said that this valuation really cannot be said that the other party is high.

But for Lin Xiao, this valuation is too high. He has more than 5000 million yuan, which is only 600 million yuan. According to this valuation, even if he invests all the money, he can only account for 5%.

What's more, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to invest all the money. He still needs to save some money to set up a research and development center to develop MP3. The ancient network has already been established, and it needs money.

Therefore, Lin Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "Larry, your valuation is too high."

"I admit that your technology is great, but don't forget that Inktomi is currently a giant in the market, and their market value may soon exceed 100 billion yuan. Now you have no way to prove that you have a chance to beat them .”

"So, when there are prospects, but the prospects are not clear, your valuation is obviously too high."

Lin Xiao said, his eyes swept over the faces of the two, "There is another key point, I am talking to you as an angel investor, not a venture capitalist, right?

I just looked at your product without doing due diligence to check any of your data, my money will come right away, and I won't give you so many restrictions like VCs, you can't use the money you are going to treat VCs A set to deal with me. "
