Chapter 365: How to Get Qom
Chen Bei didn't come back from Mountain View all night.
But it doesn't matter, in fact, it is the distance from this district of the first-tier city in China to the adjacent district.
Google Inc. is at the northern end of Mountain View, 5 or 6 kilometers from the city center, 10 minutes by car, northwest of the city center is Stanford University, 13 kilometers away, the center of the city east is Intel, and to the south is Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, of course, it is not finished yet......
In a word, a 20-minute commute circle.
Wen Xiaoguang had heard and contacted teachers or classmates who had returned from studying in the United States when he was studying, because most of the domestic doctoral students need to have a year of study abroad experience to graduate.
At that time, when people talked about life in Mountain View, Palo Alto, or Menlo Park, they always felt envious, thinking that they didn't all have to be the best of the best.
This time he came on such a trip, whether Google was suspicious of Apple, he came to take a look, and it is said that Google's environment is excellent, but unfortunately they can't get in.
"Big, right?" Chu Qiuchen sighed, "Don't say that the Internet is magical, such a big company can be built in ten years." ”
"You can join the Internet. Wen Xiaoguang said.
Today, Song Yiqiu went to work, Chu Qiuchen took a taxi and ran around with him, and he was also a god.
"It's a pity that I won't, so let's go with me to see the house. ”
Wen Xiaoguang looked at Google's building, googled a few letters, and said, "Can't we find a way to get in?"
"What are you going to do in there?"
"Look. ”
"What's there to see, come with me to see the house. Chu Qiuchen suddenly took out some pictures from his bag, "This is a Rad real estate project on the edge of Mountain View, don't you like to buy a house?" There are townhouses, and there are also a small number of independent villas, the big one is 400 square meters, 2 million US dollars. ”
"When I was a student, I was quite impulsive, but now, I don't want to pay property taxes every year for no reason. ”
When I was in graduate school, there would be the kind of Ph.D. who returned from studying in the United States, and at that time, I felt that not all the people who could live here had to be the elite of the elite.
But now that gaze is gone.
In fact, Chu Qiuchen didn't come to buy a house, she just came to see the design and see what was good about others.
Wen Xiaoguang's mind is not on these villas, but on Chen Bei.
The value that Chen Bei brought back to him could buy 100 sets of these.
Chu Qiuchen could see that he was half-hearted, "What are you thinking?"
"Thinking about Chen Bei, I don't know how he did things. ”
"It turns out that when we were in college, Lao Chen was not the kind of person who really studied technology, he just needed to use more and more in his work later, and he was the kind of organizational talent at the beginning. ”
Wen Xiaoguang asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that there are actually two types of people who are very different at work, some people hate non-technical affairs, you ask him to organize a dinner party for a long time, and he always thinks that I might as well be comfortable working here for a while, and the other type of person, he likes to engage in bells and whistles, in fact, Lao Chen was the latter when he was studying. ”
Chu Qiuchen asked: "Don't you think that everyone has that kind of person in their life? It seems that you feel very relieved to hand over things to him, Chen Bei is, the teacher loves to look for him whenever he has something." ”
As he was talking, Chen Bei called.
Wen Xiaoguang picked it up without saying a word, "Hey,"
He didn't want to be too eager, WhatsApp was just an inconspicuous small company at this time, and he was panicked if he couldn't eat it, which was actually very bad.
"When I meet someone like you," Chen Bei seemed to be walking, the wind whirring, "Qom is not happy to reduce his stake too low, he has done too much than you, and there are people who only take 1% of the shares in the initial employees." ”
"Is that okay?" Wen Xiaoguang asked.
"I don't know how he did it, maybe he started this company in 2009 at the height of the financial crisis, and there were many people who couldn't find jobs, but anyway, he just didn't want to reduce his shares, even though he and Acton owned 80%!"
Wen Xiaoguang thought of the $19 billion deal, and Qom received 6.8 billion, which also added a lot of taxes.
In other words, in 2015, after several rounds of financing, he still owns close to 40% of the equity, which is quite high for a technology company.
"Say how it turned out. ”
Chen Bei stopped, "He accepted a $2.5 million investment and gave up 10%, and of course he didn't forget your promise not to ask him to advertise." ”
"$2.5 million?
Chen Bei smiled, "I can't help it, he feels that he is not short of money, but he was persuaded by me to enhance the company's risk prevention ability, and the too little cash in the account always makes the boss afraid." ”
In fact, it is not right to say that there is no interest, just a company of more than ten people dares to estimate 25 million US dollars, which is crazy, and the dollar is a depreciation after all.
"10% is fine. Wen Xiaoguang touched his chin, 2.5 million into more than one billion is also very good, more powerful than his excellent products, "But I want to give priority to stock options, and when we issue new shares or raise funds again, we as old shareholders need to protect our rights and interests." ”
"Yes, but he also has to set a ceiling. Considering that we are the same type of company, he is afraid that we will gain control, and at the same time he wants to get strategic support. ”
Wen Xiaoguang asked, "For example?"
"For example, borrowing from our design ideas. ”
"I'm going to call him. Wen Xiaoguang thought of a way, he had a lot of ideas.
In the Internet industry, there are only two Chinese and American companies, and the so-called heroes of the world are only Jun and Caoer.
In fact, this kind of communication software, which records what everyone is talking about, they can't enter our market, and it is difficult for us to go abroad.
If you go ruthlessly, it is easy to involve reasons such as privacy and security supervision, which is the case in Europe and the United States, which is not safe, and it must also be regulated, and in the end, it is not Merkel who is being monitored.
Having said that, to be honest, the right to speak in world opinion is in the hands of the Anglo-Saxon nation.
So it doesn't matter if it's borrowed or plagiarized, because Wen Xiaoguang didn't think about annexing WhatsApp, otherwise there would be too many political factors in the end, and it would be annoying to death.
It's like Xiao Zha, who was killed because of privacy issues, listening to those mentally retarded senators ask those mentally retarded questions is as uncomfortable as eating, Xiao Zha is still an orthodox white person, and if you change to a yellow race, a group of people will definitely come up and rob you of your money, and then it is very likely that you will be the same as the protagonist in The Wolf of Wall Street.
Either you pay a fine and leave the company, or I will sue you and sentence you to the law, and if you don't break the law, I will make a law and sentence you to break the law.
Island culture and rogue nations have done this kind of shit.
Since the river is divided, Wen Xiaoguang feels that it is okay for him to ask for strategic support or learn from something.
Chen Bei said his location, and the taxi driver went directly to pick him up, they were all in Mountain View, and it was only five or six minutes to find him.
By the time Chen Bei got in the car, Wen Xiaoguang had already updated the investment plan for him, "$3 million, 14% equity, and the rest remains unchanged." ”
Chen Bei was shocked, how could that guy who was not short of money be convinced?
Chen Bei asked Chu Qiuchen, "What did he say, and how did he get him?"
Chu Qiuchen scolded him, "You know that I can't understand English and it stimulates me?!"
I blame me for not learning and not knowing.
"Tell Sarah to draft the contract. ”
Chen Bei's curiosity was tickled, "No, what did you say?"
"Guess. Wen Xiaoguang said cheaply.
Chen Bei: (╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻
