1539 Temptation
"You're Qin Feng?" Larry Page was stunned.
"You're going to buy our company?" Sergey Brin was also surprised.
"Well, that's me. Qin Feng nodded.
"You actually know IT!" the two exclaimed.
"I'm also an IT major. I am about to graduate from Tsinghua University and am ready to go to Harvard immediately. Qin Feng said.
"Harvard, why don't you come to Stanford?" the two were slightly dissatisfied.
They're top students at Stanford.
The relationship between Stanford and Harvard is roughly the same as that between Tsinghua University and Peking University.
It's a mutual contempt anyway.
Qin Feng is from Harvard, so they are not happy.
In fact, they didn't like another Harvard student, Lisa, either.
They shouted $30 million, not only to prove their worth, but also because they hated Harvard. As a Stanford student, I instinctively hate Harvard students.
Now, here comes another one.
In this heart, it is not very happy.
Qin Feng smiled.
"Because she's at Harvard. Qin Feng pointed at Lisa.
Of course, this is not true. However, it made Lisa on the side listen to the joy in her heart.
Over the past few years, she is a sophomore at Harvard, and Qin Feng has come over to study as a freshman.
Those two, as alumni, can still be together for three years.
If she had gone to a master's degree, they would have been together for even longer.
When I think about it, I feel very happy.
Qin Feng's explanation made Larry Page and Sergey Brin very satisfied.
For the sake of his girlfriend, then go to Harvard, it's acceptable.
"But you're making it hard for us right now. Larry Page and Sergey Brin frowned.
Originally, they were preparing for the lion to open their mouths, and they didn't sincerely want to cooperate with Qin Feng.
Because, after being humiliated by Yahoo, they were very unhappy.
$1 million, Yahoo didn't even say yes. actually bargained for $500,000. It's also too bullying.
Is their technology so worthless?
So, they want to start their own business, and they want to be better than Yahoo.
At this time, Qin Feng threw an olive branch here, and they were not too happy.
After all, they don't understand some of the rules of the business game and don't quite understand the importance of money. In their current view, with technology, they can make money. They don't have a shortage of financiers.
So, $30 million, is to scare people.
But now, Qin Feng's discussion of Google PageRank has made them look at it with admiration. They didn't expect that Qin Feng would actually know this kind of technology so well. They got a lot of inspiration from the discussion.
This time, it made them feel embarrassed.
How should they talk to Qin Feng?
How can the two sides work together?
Qin Feng saw the hesitation of the two and smiled.
"Let's go on the current terms. Qin Feng said, "I just hope that our future cooperation will be smoother." ”
Now that Qin Feng has money, he doesn't care about this money.
$30 million, buying half of Google's equity, is a good deal, very cost-effective.
At this point, Qin Feng thinks it's worth it.
"Qin, you must know that we made a random offer at the time, and to be honest, we didn't expect you to agree. Larry Page was a little embarrassed to say.
"Yes, we want to start our own business and prove ourselves. Sergey Brin was also a little embarrassed, "so when we first talked about it, we put forward very excessive conditions. ”
"It's okay, I'm confident in your technology, and whether it's too much, I think it's worth it. Qin Feng said with a smile.
I'm hell-bent on signing a contract. Could it be that these two are unwilling?
If you don't want to, it's not easy.
This kind of thing can't be bought and sold by force.
After the two of them said sorry to Qin Feng, they came back after discussing it on the side.
"Qin, that's what we think, the cooperation with Lisa Online was just a joke before. Because it has nothing to do with our technology. Larry Page said.
Hearing this, Qin Feng's heart hung up.
"So what?" Qin Feng trembled slightly.
This, if you don't agree, you will faint to death.
"So, that's what we think. Because of your unique insights on Google PageRank and our like-mindedness, we decided to pull you into the company. As one of the co-founders. Sergey Brin said.
"Huh?" Qin Feng was stunned.
"Of course, if we have the capital, our company will grow a little faster. So, that's what we think. You invest $5 million and we give you 30% of the shares. Larry Page said.
$5 million, 30% of the shares. Qin Feng calculated this, and felt that he had lost more than before.
Although it cost $25 million less. But in the future, this 20% will be 200 billion US dollars.
The trillion-dollar market value company of the future.
Before and after, it's nearly 10,000 times different.
This made Qin Feng a little awkward.
"However, 5 million can't do anything. This may mean that in the future, there will be a second financing. Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin frowned.
It's not that they don't understand it entirely, and it's more appropriate if they have enough money.
"Well, I'll still give $30 million, of which $10 million will be used to invest in the company, and the remaining $20 million, as I said before, will be used to buy your shares. Qin Feng said, "As before, 50% of the shares." Of course, the stake in the hands of the two of you, the voter turnout, is 1:2. ”
That is, 50% of the shares in the hands of Larry Page and Sergei Brin, which is equivalent to 100% of the shares. Qin Feng still has 50% on his side, so it adds up to 150%, and then converts it back, that is, the shares in the hands of Sergei Brin and Larry Page have 66.6% of the voting rights, and Qin Feng has 33.4% of the voting rights.
If the two reach an agreement, then Qin Feng has no right to object. This also gives the two the right to decide on the company's equity. Of course, if the two sell their shares in the future, it will naturally reduce their control over the company.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, has 50% of the share income.
It's a matter of taking what you need.
Of course, one of the most critical of this is that the two received $10 million each. When these IT companies receive venture capital funding, there is a premise that the funds must be spent on the company. For founders, it can't be used for personal expenses. At most, raise the salary of the individual a little. But usually, there is a limit.
Now, Qin Feng directly made the two multimillionaires.
In 1998, even in the United States, this was a lot of money.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two were a little hesitant, Qin Feng directly took out three contracts and put down the pen.
As long as you sign a contract, you will become a multimillionaire instantly. From a poor graduate, he became a multimillionaire.
It's very tempting. You know, even if you graduate from Stanford, your salary may be high, but it is very difficult to become a multimillionaire. And now, they have it at their fingertips.
