Chapter 234: Choice

Seeing Henry's frown, Jeff Hawkins couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Williams, is it still nine inches?"

Henry nodded and said, "Yes, I think it's still big." I think it's best to fit in your shirt pocket so that it's easy to carry!!."

"Put it in your pocket!! Oh, Mr. Williams, if you want to make it so small, I'm afraid there are a lot of features that will have to be removed......" Jeff Hawkins was stunned.

"Delete it, delete it, it's not a big deal. You're right about your product, but you're not taking into account the market demand. Not to mention that the nine-inch handheld computer itself is not easy to carry, and then there are many of its functions are unnecessary! For example, there is no need for the product to be connected to the Internet, and there is no wireless network now, can you imagine how bad it is to hold the handheld computer in one hand and hold a long network cable behind it? In my opinion, the browser and e-mail are redundant, and there is only one USB interface, and the data flow can be realized with the computer through the USB interface......

Jeff Hawkins was red-faced by Henry.

Henry looked at him and said in a calm tone, "Although there are these or that shortcomings, but overall it is still good......! Tell me, how much are you going to invest?"

Jeff Hawkins and Robert couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and then Robert quietly raised a finger at Jeff Hawkins and reminded him that he wanted a million dollars! Jeff Hawkins nodded to him secretly, then looked at Henry, and said, "Mr. Williams, we need a million dollars!"

Henry smiled when he heard that he only needed a million dollars, and then said lightly: "What can I develop with a million dollars!!?

Upon hearing this, Jeff Hawkins and Robert were both shocked and speechless!

Henry looked at them and asked, pretending to be surprised, "Don't you want five million dollars?"

"Yes. We're going to !!," Robert said hurriedly, and then quickly gave Jeff Hawkins a look and asked him to agree.

Henry nodded at Robb, and turned to look at Jeff Hawkins. "Mr. Robert thinks so, what about you, Mr. Jeff Hawkins?"

One million dollars is very stretched to develop a product, and the more money the better. There's no reason for Jeff Hawkins to refuse. When Henry asked him, he immediately nodded and replied, "Oh, of course, so we have enough money to develop our products!"

"Well, in that case, let's talk about the distribution of shares!" Henry said slowly, "As far as I know, the registered capital of Palm Computing is half a million dollars, and the company currently has six engineers!"

"Yes, Mr. Williams. You know our company very well!"

"I don't know very well, I just asked people to investigate! Also, I want to ask, have you received any investment from other companies?"

"Not yet...... Oh, and it's not like there's no company at all, and yesterday Bruce Downlevis Ventures promised us $500,000!" Jeff Hawkins snapped to the fact that yesterday a venture capital firm had promised to invest.

"Well, very good, then you will reject this company, PalmComputing will have my investment!!" Henry said lightly, but there was a hint of domineering and confidence in his tone.

Jeff Hawkins and Robert looked at each other. They nodded to each other.

"No problem, Mr. Williams, we're going to turn down Bruce Down Levy Ventures!" Jeff Hawkins promised Henry.

Henry nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes." Very good. So...... Based on my investment of five million dollars, how much stake should I get?"

Jeff Hawkins' face was stunned, not thinking about anything else, just counting the funds, Henry Williams at least 90% of the shares! If so, he doesn't have many shares......

Henry looked at Jeff Hawkins' slightly ugly face. couldn't help but smile and asked, "Hehe, have you ever heard of the principle of my investment?"

"I've heard of ......," Jeff Hawkins nodded, "and it is said that the company you invest in will generally have an absolute controlling stake !!"

"Yes, exactly. However, as you may not know, I have always invested only at the team, not the project. I think this team is good, and I'm willing to invest in it!" Henry smiled at Jeff Hawkins, "Actually, I believe that only a good team can make a good project!!

When Jeff Hawkins heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy and proud in his heart, "Since Mr. Williams is willing to invest in us, does it mean that we have a good team at Palm Computing?"

"Of course!" Henry smiled slightly, "So, even though I have invested five million dollars, I only need 75% of the shares, and the remaining 25% is reserved for this team!! Jeff Hawkins and Mr. Robert, you can think about what I have to offer!" "There is a private room next to it, if you need to discuss it individually, you may as well go in!" Henry said, pointing with his right hand in a direction where there happened to be a door.

"Thank you, Mr. Williams, we do need to talk about it individually!" said Jeff Hawkins.

……

……

"Robert, what do you think? If you agree to Henry Williams' terms, he will be the largest shareholder of the company, and he will be the absolute controlling shareholder, and from now on, the company will be what he says he will !!do," asked Jeff Hawkins.

"Oh, Jeff Hawkins, I'm just a small shareholder, and you'll have to decide for yourself!" said Robert, "but you know, Henry Williams is too busy to run the company himself!"

Jeff Hawkins couldn't help but fall silent when he heard this.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had met Tian Shuai, the CEO of ICQ Company, at the door of the office before, and at this moment, his situation was so similar to the choice he faced at the beginning! At that time, Henry Williams also wanted to get the absolute controlling stake of ICQ Company, and ICQ Company would have today's status and influence with the support of Henry Williams!

Tian Shuai can also become a billionaire!!

Jeff Hawkins' gaze suddenly flashed with determination.

"Robert, I've decided !!"

"What have you decided? Have you decided to agree to Henry Williams' terms?" asked Robert.

"Yes, that's right!!"

"Oh, Jeff Hawkins, you should have done it a long time ago! If Henry Williams had invested in Palm Computing, he would have been our boss!! oh God, with the richest man in the world as our boss, why did I suddenly feel so proud!!" Robert smiled and said to Jeff Hawkins, "Hawkins, you said he was our boss, let him take a picture with us, sign a name or something, there should be no problem......

Jeff Hawkins shook his head and looked at him speechlessly. The two then walked out of the private room and into Henry's office.

Henry smiled and asked, "How are you thinking about it?"

"Mr. Williams, we have decided to agree to your terms!!" Jeff Hawkins replied.

"Very good, Mr. Jeff Hawkins, this decision of yours will definitely change your life!!"
