Chapter 154: Talking to Gates (1/4)

"Great idea, unfortunately we can't pull out much money for the time being, we can try to do it later. ”

Su Mu believes that the opening of large home appliance stores is very promising, like supermarkets, there are now all over the world, but the number is not enough for the time being, since the seventies, many scattered goods are being centralized.

Then he thought of other aspects, stood under the air conditioning outlet and blew the cold air, and continued: "Since you can build a supermarket for household appliances, you can also sell cars, clothes, furniture, etc., there are profitable businesses everywhere, but unfortunately there is no money in your hands, let's run the current three companies well and then consider it, otherwise it will lead to problems in the flow of funds." ”

In the past, there was no money, even if there was a good business idea, he couldn't take out the money to invest, but now that Su Mu has made money, the idea has begun to become different, as said before, the opportunity is left to the rich who are prepared, and after having money in their pockets, they can find business opportunities everywhere.

He didn't say what he was pursuing, he rose slightly, compared to selling goods to make money, Su Mu hoped to change the world through his own efforts like those tech tycoons.

Some time ago, he spent more than $4 million to acquire shares from Boss Han, which has greatly reduced the amount of cash in Su Mu's hands, so he has delayed the opportunity to invest in Microsoft.

At present, Microsoft is already planning to go public, compared with the future of the home appliance retail market, it is more prudent to invest in Microsoft Corporation, which knows in advance that it will succeed.

A company with a brand value of tens of billions of dollars, it is difficult for him to imagine how much Microsoft will be worth in the future, even if it is worth 200 billion dollars, 2% of the shares are as high as 4 billion dollars, which is the money that can be made lying at home!

Miss Black was very afraid of the heat, and after being a little more comfortable, she finally accompanied Su Mu and Li Ping'an to buy a central air conditioner, and after finding the store, she told the other party the total area that it cost 43,000 US dollars to buy it, and the store would help install it, and the service fee was included in the price.

……

The next few days were still boring.

Su Mu takes care of himself and has to raise cats at the same time, and Blake likes fat cat ingots very much, and sometimes takes them to his rented house to help take care of them.

I went to James every day to see them, and after Professor Malzer raised the requirements, the manpower became insufficient, so the development team quickly became twelve people, and another associate professor of computer engineering at Stanford University also participated, according to them, it would take about half a month to complete the initial version.

You make a lot of money, and you spend a lot of money.

On June 9th, Qian Helberg came to Menlo Park in person, and after discussing with Li Zhekai, the company's second shareholder, Su Mu chose the addresses of eight stores, five in San Francisco, one in San Diego, one in San Jose, and one in Palo Alto, close to Stanford University.

The locations were hand-picked by Herberg and photographed, and they are not necessarily surrounded by many residents, but they are all located in high-traffic downtown areas.

Li Zhekai let Su Mu decide that he had told his father the news of investing in the supermarket, and Mr. Li, who was far away in Xiangjiang, was very satisfied with the investment after seeing the performance growth of the Qugou supermarket, and it was rare to praise him.

This guy was so excited that he was half drunk because of the sentence "good", he was born in a wealthy family, and he actually had a lot of troubles.

On the 10th, Su Mu went to take the SAT test alone, and the exam schedule was compressed into just five hours, he went out at seven o'clock in the morning and came back at two o'clock in the afternoon.

After a few days of going to Menlo Park High School for the graduation ceremony, the short half year of high school career ended in a hurry, except for a bunch of blank eyes and disregard, not much was gained, since Daniel's transfer, Su Mu has been disappointed in this school.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, he drove a Porsche 911 to the school, but many alumni were surprised, there were almost no friends in this school, and naturally no one told anyone about the news of his fortune, in just half a year, Su Mu's achievements surpassed all alumni, including the grandson of Wang An, who drove a Bentley car and only cared about playing with girls all day long.

This rich third generation surnamed Wang has entrepreneurial resources that are countless times better than Su Mu, but he only cares about pleasure.

Looking back at the school after the graduation ceremony, Su Mu found that he had no good memories, and from the day he entered the school, he was like a passerby......

**************

Eight supermarkets are in preparation, and the five that have already opened have stabilized sales.

At the end of June, Herberg found that the funds in the account were sufficient and felt confident that he could solve the logistics supply chain problem, so he simply planned again, so the number of Qugou supermarkets that were about to open increased to ten.

The incident attracted the attention of many people, and several investors began to consult with Herberg, asking him if he would be willing to accept financing, and the valuations offered ranged from $20 million to $30 million.

If the financing is accepted according to the market value of 30 million US dollars, it means that Su Mu's worth has successfully exceeded 25 million US dollars, and he is about to touch the threshold of 30 million US dollars, and it will take more than half a year to develop from 170,000 US dollars to 10 million US dollars, and from 10 million to 30 million, it will only take more than 50 days.

Even Wal-Mart has set its sights on Qugou supermarkets, trying to directly incorporate these stores into its own, whether it is to transform them into Wal-Mart or retain the Qugou brand, and make an offer of $35 million for the overall acquisition.

Not only did Su Mu not agree, but even Li Zhekai and Mr. Senna did not agree, believing that Qugou should have better development prospects and did not want to sell high-quality stocks.

So Qian Hellberg didn't even mean to negotiate, and rejected Wal-Mart's acquisition proposal.

The SAT test score came out, Su Mu took the test 2,290 points, even he felt incredible, about 100 points higher than expected, which means that the top ten universities in the United States are all chosen by themselves, as long as they pass the interview, they have a high chance of being admitted.

On the day of the score, there was another piece of good news, the spider email was developed, Su Mu used it to send a message, and sent it to Professor Marzer, who was more than ten meters away, and the other party quickly laughed happily and gave a thumbs up, because it said: "Thank you, I will pay you another bonus!"

Recently, in the Silicon Valley newspapers, there was a series of news about the upcoming release of Microsoft's "indos" operating system, Su Mu couldn't bear it anymore, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to go to Seattle in person to talk to Mr. Bill Gates about email and Microsoft shares......

(I flipped through it yesterday and found that the plot has been a little boring lately, and the accumulation of capital is almost over.) In the early eighties, the Internet was just developing, and the background was probably explained, so it didn't make much sense. The next chapter starts the next volume, skips a period of time, and starts a new journey. )
