Chapter 684: Cast a Blizzard (4100+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
On the road from Irvine to Los Angeles, an old Chevrolet car was driving indulgently, and three young people were sitting in the car, looking a little excited at this time.
"Mike, how do you look at me, will it be rude to see Director Wu later?" Alan Adhan sat in the co-pilot, fiddling with the old suit he didn't know where to go, and he looked very disobedient.
Frank Peirce, who was sitting in the back seat, said with a smile: "Don't worry, Director Wu will definitely feel that you are rude!"
Mike Mohan, who was driving, also helped: "Yes, I really don't know where you got this dress, didn't you look in the mirror when you went out?"
Alan Adhan's face turned slightly red, and he said, "Didn't you invest all your money in the company, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to afford a suit?"
The three people driving on the road were none other than Mike Mohan, Frank Pierce, and Alan Adhan, who later became known as the Big Three of Blizzard.
And when they went to Los Angeles this time, they also received an invitation from Wu Jianye.
Frank Pierce, who was in the back seat, said a little strangely at this time: "You two, how did Director Wu know about us, and asked his assistant to call us, saying that he wanted to invest in our company?"
Mike Mohan and Alan Adhan are also confused, their company has just been established not long ago, to say that they are well-known, they don't believe it, two days ago, in order to be able to support the company's operation, Mike Mohan also borrowed an interest-free loan of 15,000 US dollars from his grandmother, but now he received a call from the famous North American director Wu Jianye, saying that he was very interested in their company, this kind of thing is more unbelievable than pie in the sky, but it happened to them.
"I don't know about this, but what do you two think about Director Wu's investment?" Mike Mohan asked the other two with his left hand on the steering wheel.
Frank Pierce sat in the back, propped his hands on the two seats in front of him, leaned forward slightly and said, "I think it's better to wait until I see Director Wu, right?"
Alan Adhan echoed: "I think so too, but you two say, how much can Director Wu invest in us this time?"
Mike Mohan said: "Why don't you have tens of thousands of dollars, I heard that he signed a sharing agreement with Phantom Pictures for the filming of "Jurassic Park" this time!"
Frank Pierce sat in the back and said: "Even if you don't sign the sharing agreement, do you think Director Wu will be short of money? Think about the sales share of "Jurassic Park", the sales of "Born Out of Thin Air", and the income of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which was popular last year, is enough to make Director Wu's net worth exceed 100 million!"
Alan Adhan shook his head and said: "What you said is just Director Wu's achievements in North America, you forgot, the newspaper also said that Director Wu is a shareholder of Fengge Media, the largest media group in Asia. ”
Mike Mohan said: "Okay, don't talk about Director Wu's net worth, now let's think about it, if Director Wu really plans to invest in our company, how much money should we ask for and how many shares should we release, right?"
The three of them are not the kind of people who have no foresight, and when they hear that someone invests in their own company, they immediately can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and the three of them can accept external investment, but for them, the control of the company is still firmly in their own hands.
Along the way, the three young people finally arrived at Beverly Hills in Los Angeles before the agreed time.
Wu Jianye invited the three of them to the manor to meet, the family conditions of the three were actually good, otherwise they would not have chosen to start a business as soon as they graduated, but when they saw Wu Jianye Manor, they were still a little surprised.
Led by the servant, the trio entered the manor, while Lauren Donner was already waiting for them in the parking lot.
After the two sides introduced each other, Lauren Tangnan took the three of them to the living room of the manor.
Wu Jianye was sitting on the sofa at this time looking at the report on the reorganization of Phantom Media, and after hearing the movement outside, he turned around and saw Lauren Donner walking in with three young people.
After Lauren Donner and the three of them saw Wu Jianye, they also tried their best to stabilize their emotions, and they didn't look so LOW, but it was their unconfident behavior that allowed Wu Jianye to clearly see their inner tension, but he also smiled and did not demolish them, under the introduction of Lauren Donner, Wu Jianye knew the names of the three people.
smiled and said, "Sit down, what do you want to drink?"
Mike Mohan put his hands on his knees, although he had told himself countless times in his heart to be calmer when he saw Wu Jianye, but when they really saw Wu Jianye, such advice seemed a little useless.
"Just drink coffee!" Lauren Donner didn't even feel his voice tremble a little when he spoke.
The same goes for the other two.
Wu Jianye looked at the three young people and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I have a friend who happens to be from the University of California, and told me that there are three good young people in the school, who are now starting a business, and I myself like you energetic young people, so let's just talk about it, if you can, I also want to see what young people like to play now!"
casually found a reason to prevaricate and knew their reason, Wu Jianye chatted with the three of them.
When talking about their company, the tension in the hearts of Mike Mohan and the three of them slowly disappeared a lot, and Wu Jianye listened to their views on his company and the game with a smile.
Now the company founded by the three of them is not called Blizzard, but called Silicon and Neural Bond Company, but this is not the point, as long as the three of them are there, what kind of company name is not important to Wu Jianye.
So after listening to the descriptions of the three of them, Wu Jianye smiled and said: "After listening to your descriptions, I know that today's young people are really full of hope, and I have some expectations for it!"
The three of them heard that Wu Jianye spoke so highly of them, and a smug smile appeared on their faces.
Wu Jianye continued: "That's it, since the three of you are so confident in your company, I can invest 200,000 US dollars in you as the company's starting capital!"
Mike Mohan and the three of them immediately showed a surprised expression, the three of them originally thought that this time, as long as they could get tens of thousands of dollars of investment, it would be good, Wu Jianye was directly ready to invest 200,000 yuan in them, which made this brother look a little excited.
Wu Jianye looked at their expressions, and smiled slightly in his heart, he was still young, if he didn't clearly know Blizzard's future achievements, he would be able to get more favorable conditions for himself with the expression of this brother now.
In the end, it was Mike Mohan who was the first to react and asked, "Then Director Wu, how many shares are you going to hold in our company?"
When Mike Mohan asked this question, Frank Pierce and Alan Adhan also reacted, they said on the way to the road, the control of the company must be in their own hands, and now Wu Jianye has taken out 200,000 yuan, and he can almost buy several companies like them, so the shares that Wu Jianye wants.......
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know an entrepreneur's feelings for his company, so I won't fight with you for control of the company!"
Hearing Wu Jianye say this, the three of them were relieved, but they still had to see how many shares of the company Wu Jianye wanted to hold.
Wu Jianye didn't let the three of them wait for a long time, and said directly: "I am personally very optimistic about the development of your company, so let's do it, 200,000 US dollars, I only need 20% of the shares of Silicon and Neural Bond Company!"
When Wu Jianye finished speaking, the three of them could no longer be calm, not that the shares were too high, but too low, that is to say, as long as they accepted Wu Jianye's investment, then on the books, their company's market value was already as high as 1 million US dollars!
"Director Wu, this ......." For a while, Mike Mohan and the three of them didn't know what to say, they were so generous, so generous that they were embarrassed!
Wu Jianye smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, I have a condition here!"
When the three of them heard that Wu Jianye had conditions, they hurriedly sat up straight, and Mike Mohan asked, "Director Wu, please speak!"
Wu Jianye said: "My condition is that when the silicon and neural bond company needs to invest in the future, I must have the right of first refusal!"
Wu Jianye is naturally not a charity, even if he knows the future development of Blizzard, but the current Blizzard is definitely not worth 200,000 US dollars, the reason why he wants to invest 200,000 US dollars is to smash the three young people full of entrepreneurial passion first, only in this way can it be conducive to Wu Jianye to put forward his own requirements.
Needless to say, everyone knows how much money a game company spends, 200,000 may be a lot of money for a newly established company, but for Blizzard, which is bound to become one of the most famous game companies in the world, it is estimated that they can only hold on for a while.
Although Wu Jianye only holds 20% of the shares now, when Blizzard needs to continue to expand in the future, then the condition that Wu Jianye is proposing now is the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the three of them.
Moreover, Wu Jianye has already found someone to investigate the situation of the three of them, and the three of them attach more importance to the development of the company, which means that if Wu Jianye asks for a higher equity when he comes up, the three of them will definitely not agree.
So the old fritter is the old fritter!
Sure enough, Wu Jianye at this time saw Maxima's Bole in the eyes of the three of them, although they didn't know this sentence, but what they thought in their hearts must be similar to this meaning.
As for the requirements mentioned by Wu Jianye, in the eyes of the three of them, there is no big problem, anyway, if the company needs financing in the future, where is the financing not financing?
At this time, the three of them were really just young people, although they were much stronger than ordinary young people, but their life experience was too little, and they easily fell into the pit buried by Wu Jianye.
So after Wu Jianye made this request, the three of them only discussed it a little and agreed to Wu Jianye's request.
Wu saw that the three agreed to his request, and smiled and asked Lauren Donner to take the contract that had been prepared a long time ago.
"This is a specific signing contract, the three of you can take a good look at it, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask the lawyer. Wu Jianye generously handed the contract to the three of them and said with a smile.
That being said, Wu Jianye did not prepare a lawyer in the living room, which means that if the three of them want to ask a lawyer, they all have to find their own lawyer, but they have a newly established company, where is the lawyer.
So the three of them just got together, carefully studied the content of the contract, and didn't mean to ask anyone.
However, the three of them still noticed that the investor did not invest in the name of Wu Jianye personally, but an investment company called Lutai Investment.
The three of them have just graduated and started their own business, so they know less, although Lutai Investment has no concept in the eyes of ordinary people, but now on Wall Street, Lutai Investment is already a very concerned investment company.
Berkshire, Microsoft, Apple, Cisco and many other high-quality companies have Lutai Investment, although it is not the largest shareholder, but the shareholding is also high in the middle, and it is even the second largest shareholder of Berkshire!
If the company of Mike Mohan and the three of them is known that they have received the investment from Lutai Investment, then their company will definitely double its valuation even if it is still only in the garage!
After reading the contents of the contract, the three of them discussed it and signed their names.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Happy cooperation, the money has been transferred to the company's account, you can call to inquire!"
Mike Mohan's face flushed slightly, "Happy cooperation, Director Wu thank you very much for your trust in our company!"
Wu Jianye: "Okay, since the business is over, the three of us will stay here at noon and finish lunch together before going back!"
.......
Li Xiuming is back in New York!
Now that she has decided to stay in North America for development, Li Xiuming has also made her life busy, first she decided to go to New York to finish her previous work, and then decide whether to use New York as the starting point of her career in North America, or Los Angeles!
Wu Jianye naturally has no opinion on this!
The little guy Wu Luoxin followed next to Li Xiuming, in order to take care of Wu Luoxin, Wu Jianye directly invited a multi-person group, and he really took care of Wu Luoxin's life according to the specifications of the princess.
After sending off Mike Mohan and the others, Wu Jianye, who was quite bored, had to continue writing the script in the study.
Thanks to the gradual popularization of computer functions, Wu Jianye has finally gotten rid of the process of writing scripts by hand when he was reborn.
When the time came to more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Lauren Donner found Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, it's almost time, the time I made with Aniston is almost up!"
Wu Jianye glanced at the time, nodded, and said, "Let's go!"
Naturally, you can't be in the manor anymore when you meet Aniston!
