Chapter 1147 Determine Investment
When Twitter was first created, it didn't attract much attention.
Twitter is the next logical step in the development of an existing blog site and the initial stage of blogging. Netizens believe that it is more convenient to type 140 words and send them to the network, so Twitter has streamlined the flow of information. As Evan Williams put it, "It's another step towards the democratization of information, and I firmly believe that if people can share information more easily, the future will be better."
That's all Zhao knows about Twitter.
Jack Dorsey, Bizstone and Evan Williams, these three people are the core figures of the future of Twitter, Zhao Fusheng feels that as long as he bets accurately, he will definitely be able to get a piece of the pie.
"Zhao, this is the place I chose. Evan Williams parked the car in front of a building, smiled at Zhao Fusheng and said, "I think this should be the place where our dreams take off." ”
Looking at this guy's slightly middle two appearance, Zhao Fusheng looked helpless, but he had to admit that this guy does have a kind of demagogic ability, just look at Bizstone next to him.
"Evan, I can invest in you, but I won't ask about the company's development. Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and said to Evan Williams.
He must say this sentence first, because once the news of Evan Williams' entrepreneurship spreads, there will definitely be many people who are willing to invest in him.
"Well, I knew you were willing to help me. Evan Williams said with a happy smile.
"How much money do you need?" Zhao Fusheng said bluntly.
That's how Americans talk about business, it's more appropriate to be straightforward and simple, how much investment you need, so that people don't think you don't respect him, but think that you value his project like this.
Evan Williams thought for a moment: "Half a million dollars, we have other investors, and we will give you a seat on the board of directors when the time comes, okay?"
Zhao Fusheng nodded: "If you have equity, how much can I get?"
This question is critical.
"Sixteen percent. Evan Williams and Bizstone glanced at each other before speaking to Zhao Fusheng.
When he said this figure, he actually had no confidence in his heart, after all, Zhao Fusheng took out 500,000 US dollars, but only 16% of the shares, if it were other investors, it was very likely that today's negotiations would collapse directly.
Sixteen percent?
Zhao Fusheng thought about it, and then laughed: "Yes, but I have one condition." ”
"You say. Evan Williams let out a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Fusheng.
He was really a little surprised, Zhao Fusheng didn't turn his face because he gave so much money but couldn't get more shares. So no matter what Zhao Fusheng asked next, as long as it was not too excessive, he decided to agree.
"I ask that if I raise money in the future, as long as my funds can keep up, you can't choose to dilute my shares. Zhao Fusheng looked at Evan Williams and said lightly.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and Zhao Fusheng will not believe that in the face of huge economic interests, the seemingly good relationship between himself and Evan Williams will always be maintained.
If it were really a day when it came to one's own interests, such as what happened between Eduardo and Zuckerberg in "The Social Network", it is not impossible that it will happen in reality.
Zhao Fusheng didn't want to be the one who was out.
Hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Evan Williams and Bizstone glanced at each other, and finally nodded: "No problem, this can be written into the contract." ”
In their view, this is a reasonable request of other investors and should be respected.
Although there are a lot of dirty things in the American market than in China, at the very least, they still have a lot of respect for the written contract, and since the two sides have reached such an agreement, then they will naturally abide by it.
As for the future problem, if someone really offers a higher price, they will naturally have other ways to avoid the trouble of the contract.
"Alright, I'll have someone come over. Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly and said to Evan Williams.
During this time, Dong Chenxi has set up the US branch of the Future Investment Fund, and it is up to them to deal with this matter.
Evan Williams nodded, he also knew that although he and Zhao Fusheng had negotiated these things, it did not mean that they could get the money immediately, and the regular investment company would definitely have to go through a process.
But that's all for later, at least, now Evan Williams can be sure that he and Zhao Fusheng, a magical man from the East, have become partners.
"Zhao, do you have any suggestions for our new company?" Bizstone asked Zhao Fusheng.
Through Evan Williams' introduction before, he already knew that Zhao Fusheng was not a person who knew nothing about the Internet, and this guy himself was also a tech-savvy talent.
That's why there is such a problem.
Zhao Fusheng thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't have any suggestions, you just need to do what you think." ”
As he spoke, he smiled: "Although it is the first time we have met, I am very optimistic about your combination, and I think that you will definitely bring different changes to the United States in the future." ”
Anyway, if you praise it, you don't need money, and knowing that these two guys are destined to succeed in the future, Zhao Fusheng certainly doesn't mind pretending to be an inspirational mentor and praising them fiercely.
Sure enough, Bizstone and Evan Williams both had smug expressions on their faces.
Although there are people around them who praise them, this is different from Zhao Fusheng's praise.
The reason is very simple, if a girl is beautiful, and she is praised by her neighbors and praised by the king, the mood is completely different. Although Zhao Fusheng is not a king, compared to them, the Facebook that Zhao Fusheng invested in before is now not a household name in the United States, but it has a high popularity among young people.
In other words, in Zhao Fusheng's heart, their company has the same important status as Facebook, and this feeling is completely different.
The three chatted for a while, and Evan Williams was in a good mood and took the initiative to invite Zhao Fusheng to dinner.
Zhao Fusheng naturally readily agreed, but the premise was to go to the hotel to settle down first.
Evan Williams personally sent Zhao Fusheng to the hotel, and then said goodbye and left.
After they left, Zhao Fusheng turned his head to Zhang Qian and said, "Contact Dong Chenxi and tell her to ask someone to sign a contract with them as soon as possible." ”
There are many dreams at night, and some things will still change before they are signed, and Zhao Fusheng doesn't want the duck in his mouth to fly.
Zhang Qian nodded, let Zhao Fusheng go to check in by himself, and he simply went to call Dong Chenxi.
When Zhao Fusheng finished checking in, Zhang Qian walked back and nodded to him, indicating that the matter had been done.
"She'll arrange for someone right away, and she should be in touch with me soon. Zhang Qian pulled the suitcase and went upstairs with Zhao Fusheng, and whispered to Zhao Fusheng.
Zhao Fusheng nodded: "This matter, you can't wait." ”
Zhang Qian snorted, he could naturally see that Zhao Fusheng attached great importance to this matter, so when he explained this to Dong Chenxi, he also made a special statement about it.
Putting aside the relationship between the two people's superiors and subordinates, in Zhang Qian's impression, there are really not so many projects that can be valued so much by Zhao Fusheng.
Facebook counts as one, Tengxun Technology also counts, and Netbillion's stock is also counted, and then there is this company that doesn't have a name yet.
Although I don't know why, Zhang Qian's principle has always been to put Zhao Fusheng's matter first, and naturally he attaches more importance to this matter.
"We changed rooms. When he walked to the door of the room, Zhang Qian suddenly said to Zhao Fusheng.
Zhao Fusheng was stunned, a little inexplicable: "It's all the same room, what to change?"
He is not the kind of extravagant and wasteful person, so naturally he will not book any presidential suites or anything like that, that is, a pure business suite, one room for one person.
It's just that Zhang Qian suddenly asked to change the room, which surprised him a little.
Zhang Qian calmly explained: "If someone is unfavorable to you, you will definitely go downstairs to lower your check-in record." ”
Zhao Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Zhang Qian meant, just like he said, if someone tries to deal with him, nine times out of ten he will go to the hotel lobby to retrieve the check-in record, and then go upstairs.
And when the time comes, what they need to face is a murderous Zhang Qian.
Tsk, thinking about this picture, Zhao Fusheng has a feeling of a kung fu blockbuster.
Although he knew that the probability of such a thing happening was not high, he still understood the truth that a gentleman should not stand under the wall.
Not to mention anything else, Zhao Fusheng can't guarantee that Mr. Li behind Tong Zhenbang will have nerves in his brain and want to see himself.
If something like that really happens, in the face of the American gangsters with loaded guns, Zhao Fusheng can be sure that he will definitely die for life.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Okay, listen to you." ”
After a pause, he instructed Zhang Qian: "Pay attention to safety, if you really can't do it, leave immediately." ”
Zhang Qian laughed: "Don't worry, if it weren't for you, I would have killed twenty people." ”
When he said this, his eyes were full of confidence.
After all, as the best special forces, he has the capital to say such things.
Seeing Zhao Fusheng walk into the room, Zhang Qian took a deep breath, took out the room card and walked into the room.
Although it may not happen, this kind of precautionary approach, in his opinion, is not wrong at all. This is what Dong Chenxi specially instructed Zhang Qian before he came.
There is no way, Zhao Fusheng's body maintains the entire Future Group, and there is no room for any difference, although he doesn't care about it, but everyone around him can't care less.
