Chapter 232: Reception
Jeff Hawkins hung up the phone, still with a shocked look on his face! He exhaled deeply, since Mr. Williams is willing to invest, then naturally there is no problem with the funds! Jeff Hawkinston was relieved, tilted his head back, leaned back in the chair, relaxed all his body, and immediately laughed happily involuntarily!
These days, Jeff Hawkins has traveled a lot to find investment, but it is very difficult to get investment.
There are so many rejections that it's physically and mentally exhausting!
After a while, another partner of PalmComputing hurried from outside, his face looking very excited!
"Jeff Hawkins, good news for you, Bruce Down Levy Ventures is willing to invest in us! Mr. Bruce Don Levy is willing to invest $500!!,000 in Palm Computing."
$500,000 is not a small amount for a startup, and if he hadn't received a call from Harrison just now, Jeff Hawkins would have been very happy at the moment. However, during the phone call, Harrison made it clear to Jeff Hawkins that Henry Williams was willing to invest in his company. And Henry Williams has always been a big deal, although Jeff Hawkins didn't know how much he would invest, but thinking about it, it should be far more than $500,000, which is probably too small for him, and he is embarrassed to show it......
"Oh, that's good news, Robert!!" Jeff Hawkins laughed and said to him, "but I have better news for you?"
Robert looked at Jeff Hawkins in surprise, his face couldn't help but show a trace of doubt, he thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any other company that is willing to invest in Palm Computing?"
"Oh yes, you're not wrong at all!! Jeff Hawkins replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Robert excitedly asked, "Tell me quickly." Which company is it??"
"Hehe, can you guess?" said Jeff Hawkins, who was in a good mood, teased him.
Robert was stunned when he heard this, Jeff Hawkins was actually in the mood to sell off. It seems that the investment will be higher this time. Robert sat down in the chair across from him with a big grin and said, "Jeff Hawkins, how can you guess that?" Oh, spare me, I wasn't good at guessing since I was a kid. Just tell me, how much are they willing to invest this time? Is it more than the $500,000 that Bruce Downlevis Ventures invested?"
Jeff Hawkins laughed and shook his head!
Robert didn't understand the reason, and felt a little disappointed: "Well, $500,000 is not there?!"
"Hehe, how can there not be $500,000? It's just that I don't know the exact amount, but it's definitely much more than $500,000!" Jeff Hawkins looked at Robert's expression amusedly. Then he said, "Okay, I won't tease you! I'll tell you the news right away, and I think this news will shock you very much!!"
"Okay, then you can hurry up, don't sell it, I'm very curious now!!" Robert said anxiously!
"That's right, just before you came, I received a call from Harrison, CEO of Silicon Valley Electronics Group!"
"Oh my God!! Silicon Valley Electronics Group is willing to invest in us!!" Robert said with a look of surprise. "I thought they were rejecting us, but I didn't expect that...... You're right, Jeff Hawkins, that's enough to shock me!!"
"Please. Robert, I was interrupted by you before I could finish my sentence, look at your impatience!" Jeff Hawkins shook his head, and then continued: "Harrison originally seemed to reject us, but when he was chatting with Henry Williams, he casually said something about our company. Subsequently. Henry Williams has decided to invest in us!"
"You...... Are you saying that Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, is going to invest in our company?" Robert's face was so shocked that he couldn't even speak coherently.
"Yes! Mr. Harrison told me on the phone to meet Mr. Henry Williams at the headquarters of the Silicon Valley Electronics Group tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock!"
"Oh, Jeff Hawkins, take me tomorrow, I want to meet Henry Williams, too! You know, a big man like Henry Williams, how many people want to see him!!, Jeff Hawkins, can you take me with you? Henry Williams has always been my idol, you know that!!"
"Well, then I'll take you there! But first I have to warn you, don't talk nonsense when the time comes!"
"Don't worry, don't mess around!!!" Robert assured.
……
……
Early the next morning, Jeff Hawkins and Robert rushed to Silicon Valley Electronics Group.
After coming to the company, I first met Harrison.
Harrison said to them, "You two wait in the hall for a moment, Mr. Henry Williams is in the office to meet the other guests!"
Jeff Hawkins laughed, "It's okay, then we'll just wait here!"
Harrison nodded and instructed the staff to pour each of them a glass of water.
"After Williams finishes talking about things first, he will have someone tell you to go to his office! I still have some company matters to deal with, so I won't accompany you!"
"Please, Mr. Harrison, we'll just wait here ourselves!" said Jeff Hawkins.
"Hmm......" Harrison nodded, and left!
After Harrison left, only Jeff Hawkins and Robert were left in the huge hall.
After sitting for a while, feeling bored, Robert couldn't help but say curiously, "Jeff Hawkins, who did you say, Mr. Henry Williams is receiving?"
"I don't know, but I think the person he's going to meet must be a very famous person!" replied Jeff Hawkins.
"Hehe, yes......" Robert smiled and said.
Jeff Hawkins then took a sip of the glass and drank it down, then lit a cigarette. At this moment, he felt a little nervous in his heart, and he was going to meet with investors later, and he didn't know how much Henry Williams would invest, and how much equity he would get......
Fifteen minutes later, a female secretary came up and informed Jeff Hawkins, "Jeff Hawkins and Mr. Robert, Mr. Williams has finished meeting the other guests, and he asked me to inform them to come to his office." Please follow me!"
"Okay!!" Both of them responded, and immediately followed behind the female secretary.
As she walked, the female secretary said, "The innermost office is Mr. Henry Williams's office!!"
At this moment, the door opened, and a young man walked out.
"Hello, Mr. Tian!" the female secretary saw him and hurriedly greeted him.
Tian Shuai nodded slightly, then looked at Jeff Hawkins and Robert, and said with a smile: "You two are from PalmComputing?"
"Yes, Mr. Tian! I am the founder of the company, Jeff Hawkins, and he is my partner Robert!" The man in front of him, Jeff Hawkins knows him very well, he is the CEO of ICQ Tian Shuai! His history is talked about, it is said that he developed the instant chat software, and at first almost no one took a fancy to his software, until he met Henry Williams, got his investment, and then established the company, and since then he has soared to the sky! Today, ICQ's market capitalization is tens of billions of dollars, and Tian Shuai is already a super-rich man worth billions of dollars at a young age!!
If it weren't for Henry Williams' investment, maybe this young man would have only been studying in college, or else he would have been working as a junior clerk in a company.
Seeing him, Jeff Hawkins couldn't help but think of himself...... Perhaps, he is the next "Tian Shuai"?!
