I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 164 13.15% (6 thousand words)

Larry Page pondered for a while, took a step back and said:
"A valuation of [-] million, Lin, I think this valuation is very reasonable..."

"7000 million." Lin Xiao directly interrupted Larry Page and said, "Dude, you have only been established for less than a year..."

"No, Lin, your price reduction is too ruthless, buddy, you directly cut the valuation I said by 5000 million."

This time, it was Larry Page who interrupted Lin Xiao.

And Sergey Brin also said on the side: "Lin, investment is not based on the time when the company was established, nor is it just based on the company's current scale, but the future, isn't it?"

"Yes, both of you, we should indeed look at the future, but to create the future, you must first solve the current problems. You need money so that you can maintain your future operations. This is the most realistic, isn't it? "Lin Xiao tapped on the table lightly.

Larry Page said with a firm expression at this time: "Lin, if it's just this valuation, we'd rather go to a venture capital firm."

Lin Xiao's expression did not show the slightest impatience because of Larry Page's firm words. He smiled and said to Larry Page:

"Look for a venture capital firm? Then let them take away [-]% or [-]% of your shares at a seemingly high valuation?"

"If you are looking for a venture capital company now, you need to give up at least 25% of the shares. Are you willing to sell so many shares now?"

Lin Xiao's soul torture finally made Larry Page and Sergey Brin a little silent. To be honest, no one is willing to sell too many shares in the early stage of the company unless it is absolutely necessary.

For those who believe that their company can have a future, the sooner they sell more shares, the greater the loss for the founders, because in most cases, the valuation of a promising company is over time And rose.

After a short silence, Larry Page asked again: "Then how many shares do you need?"

"5%-6%." Lin Xiao replied.

He doesn’t have a lot of money in his hands. Although investing in Google is very important, it will take some years to see the benefits. The layout of MP3 can not only see the benefits quickly, but also the development layout of his own company. closely related.

Larry Page did not answer directly after listening, but said: "Lin, wait a moment, I will discuss it with Sergey."

Saying that, Larry Page and Sergey Brin walked away.

At this time, Lin Xiao also started to think. The meeting with the two founders of Google was so sudden that he didn't think about many issues clearly.

It is good to be able to invest in Google, even if it is 5%-6%. This is an investment that is definitely very profitable.

It would be great if there is more than ten percent. After all, Google will definitely introduce venture capital in the future. If I propose additional investment, it is possible to keep the existing shares, but if they disagree, I don’t know what to do in the end. How is it diluted.

Is there any way to get more shares?

Lin Xiao began to think seriously, and it was a little difficult. Even if he got money from where, the two founders of Google were not necessarily willing to give it.

After all, this time point is a bit embarrassing. Google has not just been established, and it is not a venture capitalist. The resources it brings to the company are limited, and they are unlikely to be willing to sell too many shares.

At the same time, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who walked out of the office, also discussed.

"Sergey, we can't give too many shares. With the development of the company, we must still need to introduce venture capital. Moreover, we also need to ensure that the company's outstanding talents can hold a certain amount of equity."

Larry Page spoke to Sergey Brin as soon as he stepped out of the hallway.

Sergey Brin nodded immediately, "And his valuation is too low. Although Lin is a good partner, it is clear that the interests of the company are more important."

Larry Page pondered for a moment, then whispered two numbers to Sergey Brin, who nodded immediately after hearing it, and the two reached an agreement and discussed again. Just walked back to the office again.

"Lin, we're done talking." Larry Page said first.

Lin Xiao, who had just thought about it, cast a look at the other party after listening to it, signaling the other party to continue talking, and Larry Page continued: "320 million yuan, 4% of the shares."

This is the valuation of 8000 million yuan. Hearing this quotation, Lin Xiao frowned slightly. The valuation is indifferent, but the proportion of the shares sold is less than he expected.

"Lin, we have sold 20% of the shares in the early stage. In the process of finding venture capital in the next round, we still need to sell a lot of shares. We can't give a larger proportion." Larry Page explained.

Lin Xiao thought for a while, raised his head and said to Larry Page, "Larry, there is no problem with 4% of the shares, but it can only be 300 million yuan."

Before Larry Page could speak, Lin Xiao continued, "And if you guys help me accomplish something, I'm willing to pay 300 million yuan, which is only 3.15% of the shares."

300 million yuan, 3.15% of the shares, which is equivalent to a valuation of 9500 million yuan, which is close to 1 million yuan.

Lin Xiao took the initiative to raise the valuation. Larry Page and Sergey Brin naturally wished for it.
Larry Page immediately asked Lin Xiao, "What do you want us to do?"

"Who was your first angel investor? He got 10% of your shares with 10 yuan, right?" Lin Xiao asked back, although he knew who this person was and the data, but he also cannot be exposed.

Larry Page didn't hide anything, and replied directly: "Andy Bertosheim, the founder of Sun Company, he is our Stanford alumnus, last summer he gave us a check for 10 yuan, and we received acquired a 10% stake in Google.”

Lin Xiao nodded after listening, then smiled and said to Larry Page: "What I need your help is... contact Andy Bertosheim and persuade him to sell 10% of the shares for 100 million meters The price of RMB is transferred to me."

Larry Page and Sergey Brin looked at each other after hearing this. They never thought that Lin Xiao would have such a proposal.

Seeing the obviously confused expressions of the two, Lin Xiao continued: "This is a win-win cooperation. The 10 yuan invested by Andy Bertosheim has increased by 10 times after one year. This is a win-win cooperation." Very good income."

"You don't need to pay another 4% of the shares, you can keep more shares in your hands, and I can get more shares."

Both Larry Page and Sergey Brin were moved when they heard this, and suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good proposal.

The two thought about it carefully, and Larry Page finally asked hesitantly: "But, how can we persuade him?"

"Tell the truth." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Tell him, you have found an investor to raise money, but you can't give any more shares. I hope that 100 million will buy back the 10% of the shares."

"Man, remember to tell him that this is you guys going to buy back 10% of the shares, not me, I think he should agree."

Larry Page reacted and asked Lin Xiao: "You mean, we will buy back 10% of the shares first, and then you will pay 400 million yuan, and finally get 13.15% of the shares from us?"

Lin Xiao nodded, "Yes, I can lend you the 100 million yuan first."

"Lin, you can take advantage of this." Larry Page looked at Lin Xiao with complicated eyes.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "No, no, buddy, no one is taking advantage. As I said just now, this is a win-win cooperation between the three parties, and everyone can get their own benefits."

Larry Page thought for a while, and finally said, "Let me try it."

With that said, Larry Page called.

Lin Xiao continued to sit there and wait. He felt that the founder of Sun Company would most likely agree that Andy Bertosheim was in the business of hardware and operating systems, and he didn't pay much attention to the Internet, and he didn't even care about application software. They don't pay much attention to it.

The people at Sun Inc. only wanted to sell hardware, so that when the Internet bubble came a year later and those Internet companies could not afford hardware, this company with a market value of 2000 billion yuan and the most valuable company in Silicon Valley declined rapidly, and it never recovered. .

Andy Bertosheim, who only pays attention to hardware, probably has not had a comprehensive understanding of Google until now. At this time, he can get 10 times the return on investment within a year. Although the money does not seem to be much, Lin Akatsuki judged that there was a high probability that the other party would agree.

Sure enough, after waiting for a few minutes, Larry Page came back and said to Lin Xiao, "Andy Bertosheim agreed."

"Good news, Larry, you just facilitated a win-win cooperation for all three parties." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Google's 13.15% stake is worth a lot of money!
Lin Xiao laughed inwardly, this was an unexpected joy of coming to the United States this time!
Things are agreed, the next thing is some formalities.

Before coming to the United States, Lin Xiao had already taken out more than 5000 million of the 4 million Huaxia coins in his hand and exchanged them for 500 million yuan. Xue Jiahui helped handle these procedures.

After earning a lot of money in stocks, he opened an account in Xue Jiahui's branch. Lin Xiaoyi became a major customer of Xue Jiahui's branch, and he was able to become the president of the branch in Yanjing. Naturally, he had some means.

In addition, Lin Xiao also deliberately opened a bank account of the ancient network in this branch, and Xue Jiahui handled it with more care.

Changing all the money into rice yuan was originally prepared for the establishment of the R&D center, but it was used first at this time.

In the previous conversation, what Lin Xiao said was that he first lent 100 million yuan to Google, and asked Google to take back 10% of the shares held by the founder of Sun Company, and then Lin Xiao reinvested to get the corresponding equity.

In the actual operation process, Lin Xiao proposed to complete the equity transfer with him first, and after Lin Xiao gave all the money to Google, Larry Page and others would go to buy back the 10% equity .

"Why?" Larry Page was a little puzzled by Lin Xiao's proposal, "Lin, this is different from what we discussed at the beginning."

Lin Xiao explained: "I can't stay in the United States for too long. In about five days, our exchange group will return to China, and I have another important thing to do. There is no way to wait here for too long." Long."

"Actually, the result is the same, isn't it? In the end, I need to pay 400 million, and you get 300 million."

Of course, to bring up such a point, on the one hand, Lin Xiao really needs to get things done in the R&D center.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao has another very important consideration, that is, he does not want any accidents to happen.

He wasn't worried about Larry Page and Sergey Brin's repentance, but he was afraid that the founder of Sun would repent, or that a venture capital or something like that would suddenly intervene in the middle, causing extra problems.

Anyway, he got 13.15% of the shares first. As for whether Larry Page will buy back the 400% of the shares when they get the 10 million in the end, he doesn't have to care and pay attention anymore.

"Well, Lin, you're right. In fact, the result is the same. We have to complete all the procedures as soon as possible."

Lin Xiao's explanation convinced Larry Page. He also knew that Lin Xiao would not stay here for too long, and he was really worried that the money he got would disappear.

After the agreement, the two parties invited a special lawyer to be responsible for drafting the agreement.

At this time, Lin Xiao proposed to add an additional clause, that is, the shares held by Lin Xiao will not be diluted.

This clause was firmly opposed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. In the end, the two parties took a step back and agreed in the agreement that if Google wanted to introduce new investors and the shares had to be diluted, Lin Xiao had the right Add corresponding investment to ensure that the proportion of shares held by yourself remains unchanged.

In the actual investment, considering that he may have unnecessary troubles in holding shares as a Chinese, Lin Xiao finally chose to use Future Investment registered in the Cayman Islands as the shareholder.

"Lin, you actually registered an investment company in the Cayman Islands?"

Hearing that Lin Xiao was actually holding shares in an investment company, Larry Page was a little confused. He couldn't help but wonder if Lin Xiao was looking for them to invest in the first place.

But thinking about it carefully, Lin Xiao is a Huaxia student, so it is unlikely that he knows the existence of Google and more detailed information.

And Lin Xiao's performance in today's conversation probably proved this, and Larry Page's doubts were slightly relieved.

At this time, Lin Xiao also explained again: "Before, through some transactions, I obtained shares in a domestic Internet company, and registered this investment company for the convenience of holding shares, but this company has never invested in any companies. "

"Oh no, to be sure, it will invest in an excellent company right away." Lin Xiao smiled.

Larry Page also laughed at this time, "So, can I say that Google is honored to be the first company to invest in the future."

"Yes, it's an honor for us to be together." Lin Xiao smiled.

The last obstacle was gone, so the two parties signed a formal investment and equity transfer agreement.

Future Investment paid Google 400 million yuan and obtained a 13.15% stake in Google.

And the future investment is still 100% in the hands of Lin Xiao alone!This is equivalent to Lin Xiao obtaining a 13.15% stake in Google alone.

Walking out of the gate of Google, Lin Xiao once again realized the huge advantage brought to him by rebirth, 13.15% of Google shares!
The highest market value of Google in the previous life exceeded one trillion yuan.

Theoretically, just investing in Google, Lin Xiao will have a worth of more than 1315 billion yuan in the future!

Lin Xiao couldn't wait to find someone to share this gratifying news. He looked at the time. It was 5:13 p.m., the time difference between California and Yanjing time was 6 hours, and it was only [-]:[-] a.m. in China, which was a little early .

Therefore, Lin Xiaoxian went back to the hotel and called Yang Guanbin, telling him that he could come to the hotel to pick him up the next day, and to do another important thing in the United States, to meet Tony Falder.

I was going to find Tony Fylder a long time ago, but because of Google's affairs, this matter was delayed for a few days.

……

Gusu, Wuzhou, 7:50 in the morning.

At the dining table, Chu Xiyun asked her mother Meng Yazhen, "Mom, aren't you going to the company together today?"

"Today, Aunt Wu asked Mom to go out for a walk, so I won't go to the company."

After Meng Yazhen finished speaking, she asked Chu Xiyun, "Xiaoyun, are you still going to the company with your father today? Do you want to go with us?"

"Forget it, how many times have you visited the stores you went to, I'd better go to Dad's company." Chu Xiyun shook her head.

Meng Yazhen raised her head, looked at Chu Xiyun with some doubts and asked, "What kind of tricks did you open up this summer vacation? Before, you didn't care about the company's affairs at all. You didn't even want to ask you to go to the company last summer vacation. Your aunt is going to Xiangjiang to play."

"I used to be in high school, and I didn't understand. Now that I'm grown up, I need to learn more." Chu Xiyun replied.

He was muttering in his heart, that guy's career seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and now he went to the United States again, and said that he would set up a research and development center there.

Although I hope that I can live a simple life in school in the past few years, I don't want to wait three years and stand by his side, just as a vase.

"Mom, I'm done eating. Let's go clean up first. Call me when Dad is ready."

As soon as Chu Xiyun left, Chu Xiong came out of the room, looked at Chu Xiyun's back, and asked Meng Yazhen, "Daughter ready?"

"Well, remember to call her when I tell you to go." Meng Yazhen finished answering, and then asked Chu Xiong:

"Do you think Xiao Yun is a bit strange, she used to have no interest in company affairs, but now she follows you every day."

Chu Xiong was eating breakfast, he was familiar with his wife's personality and asked: "You should have asked her yourself just now, what did your daughter say?"

"She said that she didn't know much in high school before, but now that she's grown up, she wants to learn more." Meng Yazhen replied.

Chu Xiong nodded immediately after hearing this, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, maybe because I saw a lot of outstanding people in Yanjing, so I figured it out.

There are also classmates around her who are doing business. The last time I went to Yanjing, I ran into Chuan Fu at the Yanjing Restaurant. He was eating there with a business partner. That person was a classmate of his daughter, and I heard that he had just entered college. "

"You didn't tell me about this, is that person a man or a woman?" Meng Yazhen asked immediately after hearing this.

"A young man named Lin Xiao, he is not bad, young and promising." Chu Xiong said with emotion.

"My daughter said that he started from scratch. Later, I inquired with Chuan Fu. His company was just established last year, and this year it can conservatively achieve a revenue of [-] million."

After hearing this, Meng Yazhen asked thoughtfully, "You're also from Xiaoyun's school?"

"It seems to be from the school next door." Chu Xiong replied, and then asked his wife with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Meng Yazhen shook her head, "Let's have breakfast."

In Chu Xiyun's room, she received a call from Lin Xiao just after entering the room for a while.

"If you have anything to do, you can send me an email, and call me back. It is very valuable for me to take international calls."

Chu Xiyun said so, but there was a faint smile on her face.

Lin Xiao smiled and said immediately after hearing this, "I will cover all your future phone bills."

"Hmph, I don't want it. I recently worked as an intern in my dad's company. He paid me a salary, and I can pay it myself." Chu Xiyun said arrogantly.

"You go out with the professor, and you don't know much about technology. Did you go to talk to foreign beauties every day at Stanford?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I have been hanging out with two men from Stanford University these two days." Lin Xiao replied.

After hearing this, Chu Xiyun asked curiously, "Do you still know people at Stanford? Didn't you say you're going to Silicon Valley to prepare for a R&D center?"

"I just met. They also came out of college to start a business. The company is good. I just completed the investment for them this afternoon, so I can't wait to share the good news with you."

"You went to America to invest in other companies?" Chu Xiyun asked in surprise, "Then how much did you invest?"

"400 million." Lin Xiao replied, and then added, "Mi Yuan."

"How much?" Rao Chu Xiyun knew that Lin Xiao might have made money, so she couldn't help but exclaimed, "400 million yuan?"

"That's right, although my money is almost used, it's no problem to earn at least a hundred times the 400 million yuan." Lin Xiao said with a smile. He didn't dare to tell Chu Xiyun the final possible income, for fear scare her.

"It's a pity that I don't have any more money in hand, otherwise I can invest more."

After hearing this, Chu Xiyun said worriedly: "Didn't you say that you just met each other, so you are not afraid of being cheated?"

"I can't be fooled. In the United States, my behavior is called angel investment." Lin Xiao said with relief.

"Hmph, you know a lot." Chu Xiyun wrinkled her small nose, feeling that although she had learned something in her father's company, she was far behind this guy.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to pack up again, my dad will go out later."

As Chu Xiyun said, she hung up the phone. Just at this moment, Chu Xiong's voice sounded outside the door, and Chu Xiyun walked out of the room together.

Sitting in the car, thinking of the chat with Lin Xiao just now, Chu Xiyun couldn't help asking: "Dad, have you heard of angel investment?"

"I've heard that there will be more in the United States. Generally, rich people or rich investment institutions see good projects or companies, and they invest money to get some shares. I don't have much contact with you. Your aunt has stayed abroad. More, should know more."

After hearing Chu Xiong's words, Chu Xiyun couldn't help asking again: "Then these angel investors invest their money, can they get it back in the end?"

"It depends on how the company you invest in is doing well. If the development is not good and it goes bankrupt in the end, the money may be wasted. If the investment is accurate, the company will develop in the end. Dozens of times, Hundreds of times the income is possible."

As Chu Xiong said, he asked Chu Xiyun strangely, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"I just saw it on the Internet. I haven't touched it before, so I asked." Chu Xiyun replied.

At the same time, she also muttered in her heart, Lin Xiao said that she could get hundreds of times of income, hundreds of times of 400 million...

Four hundred million yuan?
Such a calculation made Chu Xiyun dumbfounded.

How did she know that a hundred times is just Lin Xiao's conservative statement, and the 400% shares obtained for the 13.15 million yuan are more than [-] times the income!
