187, Brin and Page
That night, as soon as the old rascal returned to the nest, he said to Yang Damei's 'daughter': "Daughter-in-law, 'woman', you have been unqualified recently, as soon as your brother-in-law comes, you either accompany him to eat, or accompany him to go shopping, and your husband is cold, I am so pitiful!"
The old rascal is pitiful or not, only he knows, Yang Damei's 'girl' heard this, and immediately put her arms around his neck and said coquettishly: "Husband, then, then I will accompany you tonight?"
There hasn't been that for a few days, Yang Damei's 'female' thought about it, and the old rascal also thought a little, but he said: "It's time to eat and go shopping!"
Yang Damei's 'female' "snorted" and said, "If you don't want me to accompany you, you won't accompany me!" and then pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Husband, do you dislike me?"
'Women' may be more or less afraid that their husbands will have this kind of thought, and Yang Damei's 'girl' is no exception.
How can such a good daughter-in-law get tired of it? The old rascal responded to her with practical actions!
At a critical time, Yang Damei's 'woman' doesn't care about any cleanliness.
Google Corporate Headquarters in Mountain View, California, USA.
"Mr. Brynn, I'm sincere, is it true that a 30 percent stake can't be conceded?" said Stern, a young Jew.
"Mr. Stern, I'm sorry, not to mention 30% of the shares, even if we don't sell a share!" said Bryn, who is also Jewish, "Mr. Stern, we really admire your perseverance. ”
"Hehe, Mr. Brin, you should say that we are all very proud that we are all Jews, I have come to you for the third time, we are sincere in our Lanyin investment, to tell you the truth, we invest in Google, mainly because we are optimistic about its long-term prospects. Mr. Brin, since you are so insistent, I think I should let our boss Yifan Li come and talk to you personally. He stood up and said.
"Yifan Li?" said Brin, and then said to Stern: "Mr. Stern, is Yifan Li the boss of your Lanyin Investment?"
Brin remembered that his mentor Rajev Motvani had called him a while ago to recommend this Huaxia Li.
Stern said with some surprise: "Yes, Mr. Brin, our boss Huaxia Li, he is only 19 years old this year, he is already the chairman of the board of directors of Lanyin Investment and Lanyin Electronics, and his assets should reach 1 billion US dollars, such a young man, even Mr. Bill was far inferior back then, why don't you see it?"
Mr. Bill is Mr. Bill Gates, the idol of young Americans.
Bryn thought for a moment and said, "Well, Mr. Stern, I think I'd be happy to meet this Mr. Lee." ”
Hua Xia Li was snorting and doing intensive training, when he suddenly received a call from Mr. Stern, and he said excitedly: "Oh, Stern, my friend, is there any good news for me?"
"Lee, I'm sorry that Stern didn't impress Mr. Bryn because he wasn't eloquent, but he would like to talk to you in person," Stern said, feeling a little sorry for his $1 million.
The old rascal thought, this result is okay, hmph, Lao Tzu is out of the horse, I don't believe that you will not be fooled Bryn and Paige.
But feeling Stern's tone, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Stern, you have done a good job, don't worry, I will count you successful in this matter! I will go to the United States as soon as possible, and see you then!"
Hung up the phone, the old rascal thought, originally planned to go to Xiangjiang during the May Day period, it seems that it can't work, but it's still Google's important matter, if next year, Google is profitable, and I want to buy some more shares, I don't know how difficult it is.
So he hurriedly called Wang Zixuan: "Sister Zixuan, hurry up and prepare, I'll go to the capital with me!"
In the car rushing to the airport, Wang Zixuan said: "Yifan, why do you look at Google so much?"
"Hmph, in the future it will be the era of information explosion, how can we do without a powerful search engine?" The old rascal sat in the passenger seat and said: "Not only Google, but also Baidu, but Baidu was established at the end of last year, and I guess its search engine will be launched around June, so after returning from the United States this time, we will find a way to get some of its shares." ”
"Well, you just said that Google will become a great company like Microsoft?" Wang Zixuan said suspiciously.
"Hehe, of course, it will give Microsoft a headache in the future, the future is the era of the Internet!" the old rascal laughed.
The next day, the old rascal and Wang Zixuan came to the U.S. Embassy as scheduled;
After providing documents and materials;
The visa officer browsed it, looked up and smiled at the two: "Mr. Li, thank you for investing in the United States, there is no problem with your visa, we can immediately give the two of you a one-year multiple-entry business visa!"
The old rascal said in pure English: "Sir, can you introduce me to Mr. Ambassador?" I am very disgusted by the cumbersome way of this visa method at present, you know, I can provide jobs for no less than 100 'elite' people on Wall Street, provide them with jobs with an average annual salary of no less than 1 million US dollars, and pay no less than 200 million US dollars in taxes for the state and federal governments every year. However, the chairman of their board of directors actually wasted a lot of precious time for a visa!"
The visa officer also looks at people's words, and if it is an ordinary person, if he says these words that have immigration tendencies, he will immediately be coldly rejected. At this time, he smiled and said: "Mr. Li, for a particularly outstanding person like you, you can apply for immigration through the 'First Preference Person' to the USCIS, and we welcome you and this 'woman' to become citizens of the United States." ”
Wang Zixuan knew that the old rascal was playing a scoundrel again, and he smiled slightly.
"Well, sir, I hope you can help me get permanent residency in your country as soon as possible, and I want to buy a villa in Seattle and be a neighbor with Mr. Gates!" said the old rascal.
"Mr. Li, so be it, I wish you a pleasant journey. Rest assured, your business visa is valid for one year, during which time you will definitely get a U.S. green card. The visa officer said.
"Alright then, may I ask your surname, sir?" asked the old rascal, standing up.
"You sir, you can call me John Anderson. The visa officer replied, and with that, handed the old rascal a business card.
"Alright, Mr. Anderson, I hope that when I return to Huaxia, I can invite you and Mr. Master to have a meal, this is my phone, goodbye!" the old rascal took it, nodded, and left.
Anderson watched the two leave, and said softly: "When did China start to conquer Wall Street?
Out of the embassy, the old rascal pointed to the long queue and said to Wang Zixuan: "Look at so many people, how many people went in with hope and came out disappointed." The Yankees are really too deceitful! Ten years from now, Lao Tzu will not make all your money, and his surname will not be Li!"
Wang Zixuan also sighed a little about the warmth and coldness of this world, and said: "Yifan, let's go, it's still a plane at night!"
Wang Zixuan is still very excited about the old rascal taking her to the United States, from yesterday to today, I don't know how much tofu the old rascal has eaten. In the luxurious first class cabin of the plane, the two were huddled together and lay down.
Drinking red wine, the old rascal said: "It's better to be here, lie down and fall asleep!"
He remembered the first time he sat on an ordinary seat with Yang Fei'er, remembered that she was told yesterday that she was going to the United States, and this girl hurriedly ran back from class to prepare clothes for him, remembered the way she wrinkled her little nose and got angry when she didn't let her send it yesterday, and remembered the scene that finally made her laugh happily.
Wang Zixuan said at this time: "Yifan, then let's sleep, we are not allowed to 'mess' and 'touch' casually!"
When landing in Los Angeles, Mr. Stern was already waiting for the two at the exit, and when they met, they couldn't help but admire Wang Zixuan.
Since the two were not tired, just a little bit of jet lag, as soon as they arrived in Los Angeles, they rushed to Mountain View in Santa Clara County.
Brin and Palin were in the office at this time, and Google was not making a profit at this time, and the life of employees was not as good as it had been for a few years**;
"Brin, are you really going to sell him a 30% stake?" Page laughed.
At this time, Google was still early enough to go public in 2004, when the two owned 16 percent of the company's shares and 50 percent of the voting rights. At that time, the old hooligan just wanted to buy 3% of the shares, and it was estimated that it was difficult.
However, at this time, the two young men together owned about 70% of the company's shares.
"Page, 30 percent is not possible, and if this Mr. Lee is a mentor and Mr. Stern is as good as Mr. Stern says, we can transfer 10 percent of the shares to him. Hehe, Byers Investment Company and Sequoia Investment Company already have a 10% stake, but they paid $25 million half a year ago, you say, how much does this Huaxia Li need to pay to get 10% of the shares?" Brin cocked his 'legs' and smiled.
"Hehe, at least 50 million, Brin, at least 50 million!" Page also smiled: "30% of the shares, hehe, even if he is willing to pay $1 billion, we will not agree, how can we lose control?"
When they saw Brin and Page, the two proud young men were still impressed by Wang Zixuan's beauty;
Mr. Stern said in Hebrew: "Mr. Brynn, Lee Ke knows 20 foreign Chinese!"
The so-called 20 foreign languages were of course deliberately 'exposed' by the clever Wang Zixuan in front of Mr. Stern, so that he could continue to promote in front of Mr. Brin.
Sure enough, Brin showed an expression of disbelief and said, "Lee, really? I can't believe you're so young. ”
Brin, a Russian Jew, replied in Russian, "I think so, maybe I'm gifted in it!" and then he added in Hebrew: "Mr. Brin, I'm here with great interest this time, but before we formally talk, I'll send you and Mr. Page a copy of our company's new product." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Wang Zixuan.
After introducing the two, Stern nodded out.
When Brin heard him speak two Chinese, especially Hebrew, he 'revealed' an excited expression and said, "Oh, Lee, what is it?
"Hehe, Mr. Brin, of course not, but this product is not on the market yet, I hope you and Mr. Page don't spread it. The old rascal took the pass in Wang Zixuan's hand and handed it to him.
Subsequently, both Americans were amazed!
