At the end of December, Hu Peichao, President of SK Shenhua International Investment Co., Ltd., boarded a plane at SK International Airport and flew directly to California.

In the Pacific Cafe outside Stanford University, Hu Peichao met Brin and Paige, who had arrived in a hurry.

Hu Peichao: "Dear friend, I heard about the product you are developing, and I feel quite novel, can you tell me about it?" ”

Bryn: "Dear Mr. Hu, our product is a free search engine. ”

Hu Peichao said: "Well, I have a general understanding of this, and there are many similar products on the market. ”

Page said sincerely: "Actually, we are different from other products, because we are not really interested in search, we want to develop artificial intelligence." ”

Hu Peichao: "Then the search you are doing now is just to develop human intelligence in the future?"

Page said happily, "Hu, that's what it means." ”

Hu Peichao smiled and praised: "Dear friend, this sounds cool, I like it." Then tell me about the difficulties you are facing now, and see if I can help you a little. ”

"The biggest difficulty we're facing right now is the shortage of capital, you know, we're growing so fast that we can't afford to expand without capital," Brin said. ”

Hu Peichao said: "Then how much money do you plan to need, and how many shares can be divided?"

Page said: "$2 million, 15% of the shares. ”

Hu Peichao said: "In this way, I will give you 3 million US dollars and give me 20% of the shares." In the future, each round of financing will give me priority investment rights. I only invest, how to manage and run the company is still up to you. ”

After a short exchange of words between Brin and Page, Page said, "Dear Hu, Brin and I agree to your proposal. It's just that this plan is different from what we originally set, so we still have to go back to the company and discuss it with other shareholders. But don't worry, Brin and I will try to convince them that it's better for us to meet here at the same time tomorrow. ”

Hu Peichao said: "Okay, then we'll see you here at this time tomorrow." ”

The next day, in the Pacific Cafe, Hu Peichao signed an investment contract with Google, 3 million US dollars, 20% of Google's shares, gave up voting rights, and had the right of first refusal.

After dinner that day, at 8 p.m. local time and 12 p.m. Beijing time on January 1, 1999, Hu Peichao called Li Xuanning in the hotel and informed him that he had successfully invested in Google, $3 million, and got 20% of the shares.

The eldest young master of the Li family, who learned the news of the successful shareholding, was inevitably a little excited in his heart. As long as there are no surprises in Google's development in the future, the 20% stake will be worth more than $60 billion in more than a decade. After a while, after Google burns out the $3 million, it will invest another $20 million or 30 million and take another 25-29% stake. More than ten years later, the value of Google's shares alone will reach more than 100 billion, US dollars, equivalent to more than 700 billion yuan at that time.

Google has successfully invested in the shares, and the next one is T News, Brother Xiao Ma is still very fierce and worth investing in.

Young Master Li, who had just returned to the city from the base, didn't go home, went to pick up the two little flowers, and after eating on the street, he went shopping in eastern Guangdong City.

Today's New Year's Day, give yourself a half-day off and accompany two little flowers to go shopping. Since I went to Pengcheng after the high school entrance examination, I have been active in Nanlin in the past few months. Out of Nanlin, Su Xiaotong and Xu Li are in a more relaxed mood, and it seems that they can temporarily put aside family pressure and study pressure. And Li Dashao has just received the news of his successful stake in Google, and he is also in a good mood.

This product has a little bit of a smug look. When I was shopping, I said to the two little flowers, I am in a good mood today, I just got the news, I have successfully invested in a company, and it is estimated that I will be able to make a lot of money in the future. Two sisters, take what you like directly, and my brother will pay for you.

The second goods who got carried away were cleaned up by two small flowers, whose brother are you, ah, you are the youngest, and you are still a brother.

Ouch, sisters, you can't kick the ground, it's about your happiness in the future.

Bah, I'm kicking you.
