Chapter 41: The Phoenix and Hanhua

……

"How's this place? It's enough for your office, isn't it?"

Michael Moretz looked at the spacious and bright office area, as well as the neatly arranged desks and office equipment, and nodded with a smile. I am deeply satisfied with the care and thoughtfulness of the new owner, and it is very nice to feel valued.

"According to the information I received, 10% of Google's equity has been acquired by Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd. for $25 million. So is it okay for me and my team to change jobs?"

In the past week, in order not to affect Guo Shouyun's acquisition of Google's equity, Michael Moretz has endured and not moved. Now he can't wait!

"Of course. I can't wait to get you, a genius in the venture capital industry, out of my command!" Guo Shouyun smiled, "Let's talk about it, what are you going to do after you change jobs?"

"I plan to split the $30 million invested by Boss into two private equity funds, one for the Internet sector and the other for the high-tech sector. I am most familiar with these two fields, and I am optimistic about the development of these two fields in the future!"

Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement.

"But in that case, wouldn't the power be scattered?"

"Boss, I've been in the venture capital industry for so many years, and I know a lot of rich people. I'm sure many of them are willing to hand over their funds to me to operate!"

"It's good if you have faith. Anyway, I said a long time ago, unless the loss is more than 20%, I will not interfere in the company's operations!However, if I were you, I would set up another private equity fund to invest in the biopharmaceutical field!" After smiling and patting Moritz's left arm, Guo Shouyun turned around and walked outside.

"I'll go first, remember to call me if you have something. Oh, by the way, don't talk about our relationship to a third party just yet. I don't want too many people to know that 'Phoenix Capital' and 'Phoenix Investment Management' are affiliated with the same company. ”

"Can I find out why?"

"You'll know later, but not now!" After Guo Shouyun took one last look at him, he raised his right hand and waved it casually, and turned to leave.

Looking at his back, as well as the final advice and unique request, Michael Moretz had a thought-provoking look on his face!

Two days later, Michael Moretz, the head of Sequoia Capital Fund 3, and his team of 23 people jumped ship and joined Phoenix Capital, a venture capital company with a registered capital of $30 million!

Phoenix Capital is a subsidiary of Phoenix Holdings, a holding company registered in the Cayman Islands. Under its command, there is another 'Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd.'. In Guo Shouyun's planning, Phoenix Capital belongs to VC, and Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd. belongs to PE. Both are focused on the US and European markets.

At present, Phoenix Capital does not have any projects in its hands. Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd. already has 59.95% of Google's equity; after investing 20 million US dollars, it got 60% of the equity of Guo's Business Group; after investing 15 million, it got 30% of LinkedIn equity.

After deducting these investments, Guo Shouyun has $135 million left with the money from gambling and loans. He used the money to set up three other companies in Hong Kong. They are GCA Holdings, as well as GCA Capital and GCA Investment Management Co., Ltd., which are subordinate to GCA!

Like Phoenix Capital and Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd., which are subsidiaries of Phoenix Holdings, GCA Capital belongs to VC, and GCA Investment Management Co., Ltd. belongs to PE.

The reason for this division is also to avoid political risks to the greatest extent. In the future, Guo Shouyun knows very well how Uncle Sam and Huaxia compete against each other in the fields of politics, economy, military, and culture.

In addition, Hanhua and Phoenix, both sides need an angel investment, plus a brokerage, they can cover the whole process of any company's IPO!

However, at present, in addition to Phoenix Capital, whether it is Phoenix Investment Management or Hanhua two companies, he has not found a suitable manager for the time being. Angel investors and brokerages have no clue. Especially for brokerages with a wider demand for capital and connections, I am afraid that there will be no way to make up for it in a short period of time, and the closed loop of capital will be completely completed!

……

"Boss, I've thought about it! I want to be the leader of the secretarial team!"

Looking at Wendy Solo, who looked serious, Guo Shouyun nodded. He took out a three-point document from a drawer and handed it over.

"In the future, everyone who enters the secretarial team will have to sign a lifetime confidentiality agreement. Can't divulge any information they come into contact with about me personally and the company at work. ”

In the future, the secretarial team will be the link between him and his various companies, and have access to his most confidential information. It is not an exaggeration to use the strictest secrecy, which is the common practice of large groups.

"Understood!"

"You go down first, and by the way, inform George, I want to see him!"

Wendy Solo nodded, but just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped by Guo Shouyun again.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you. Is there any news from Korn Ferry?"

"Not yet!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. Unfortunately, it is also a headhunter, and LinkedIn's influence is still limited to the middle and low levels, which is still too far from top headhunting companies such as Korn Ferry and Heidrick & Struggle.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let's take it step by step!"

After Guo Shouyun waved his hand, Wendy turned around and walked out.

After a short time, George Davis pushed the door open and walked in. Guo Shouyun saw him for some special reason. The main purpose is to discuss the idea of forming a team of specialized lawyers.

In the United States, whether it is a flat-headed ordinary person or an upper-class gentleman, the most inseparable thing is a lawyer!

After dealing with the company's affairs, Guo Shouyun left the three-fold office area of LinkedIn and drove to Google's headquarters.

Looking at the familiar logo, Guo Shouyun's mentality at this time has changed drastically from the last time he came. Last time he was just a crazy speculator who pretended to be calm and didn't know if his adventure would succeed. But now, after spending nearly $120 million to get a 59.95% stake in Google, although only 39.95% of the voting rights are still unable to shake Sergey Brin and Larry Page's absolute control of the company, but the real benefits contained in the shares are in his hands. As long as Google is allowed to grow according to its original trajectory, even if it is diluted for various reasons such as going public and rewarding management, it will definitely be a super asset worth more than $300 billion in the next ten years.

As long as he thinks of this, Guo Shouyun is very encouraged. Since his rebirth, he has worked so hard to plan for his first major goal for the future, and finally achieved it.

Walking into the Google office area, I saw him again at the front desk this time, and his eyes showed respect. Although his appointment as chairman and CEO of Google has not yet been announced among Google staff because of the existence of the 'royalty contract', his two 'marketing models' are so wonderful that they almost directly change Google's future. Therefore, out of gratitude, and of course, more of a need to retain talents, Page has put the title of vice president of operations on Guo Shouyun. Even if he can't come up with the $80 million investment in two months, he can still let Guo Shouyun's talent serve the company.

Walk through the office area, go directly to Larry Page's office, knock on the door and get permission, Guo Shouyun strode in.

"Bruce?"

"Look at you so surprised. Why, aren't you welcome?" Guo Shouyun joked.

During this time, although Guo Shouyun rarely came to Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin often asked him by email about the specific operation of the two business models and some problems encountered in the company's operation. Therefore, compared to the beginning, the relationship between Guo Shouyun and the two has become much closer.

"Come, sit down!"

Larry Page put down his work and took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face.

Guo Shouyun nodded, and the two sat on the sofa in the reception area together.

After Larry Page, who was the host, served two cups of coffee, "80 million funds, the finance department has received." In addition, we have also received documents from Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins and Andy to change their shareholdings. Now, if you get your wish, shouldn't you consider coming to work at Google?"

"Of course!"

Guo Shouyun nodded without hesitation.

"Great! I can't help but see how the two business models work together when they are applied to Google!" enthuses Larry Page.

"Larry, I think it's still hard to make it public!"

After glancing at him, Guo Shouyun said in a deep voice.

"Why?"

Larry Page frowned.
