Chapter 103 Networking Circle

……

"I'm very sorry, LinkedIn is not short of funds now!" Guo Shouyun shook his head.

"Mr. Guo, I think my conditions are worthy of the current value of LinkedIn!" Paul Denelson said with a slight frown.

The valuation of $150 million is indeed not low in Silicon Valley now. But Guo Shouyun's expectations for LinkedIn are more than that. Moreover, geniuses have always been proud and conceited, and he is very unhappy with Paul Denilson's self-righteous tone.

"Mr. Denilson, I think I have made it very clear. LinkedIn is not short of funds now!" Guo Shouyun said with a cold expression.

Although he doesn't want to offend the 'Kratos Brotherhood', it doesn't mean that he is afraid of the other party. After all, Kratos' roots are much shallower than Archimedes', which has big roots and deep roots.

Paul Denilson's expression froze, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. However, his family background is extraordinary, and he has rich knowledge and ability, so he is naturally not a fool who can't control his emotions when he is blocked by two sentences. After quickly adjusting his mind, he regained a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Mr. Guo forgives me, I'm too anxious!"

"Mr. Denilson, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, I'm not angry, I'm just talking about things just now!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile on his face.

The two of them looked like they were in harmony, and in the eyes of the people next to them, their expressions were different.

"Mr. Guo, I think I must have some unique insights in the Internet industry to develop LinkedIn so well, I wonder if you can tell us about it today?" said Jason Valles.

"Yes, in less than a year, LinkedIn has grown from a garage state to an Internet company worth more than 100 million, and I don't know how many people want to listen to Mr. Guo's views on the Internet industry!" Cheng Tinghua echoed.

After his gaze quickly swept over the faces of the two of them, Guo Shouyun's mind turned, and after a while, he smiled: "The two of you think too highly of me." There are so many things involved in the Internet that I don't know much about it. However, if you are interested in Internet investment, I know of a good investment opportunity!"

"Oh?"

Everyone's expressions moved.

But in the face of their attentive eyes, Guo Shouyun suddenly stopped talking. Instead, the old god took the wine glass from the hand of the beautiful woman next to him and took a sip of the red wine.

After Keith Braischroeder exchanged glances vaguely, the former, as the representative of the crowd, spoke.

"Mr. Guo, if we can all benefit from it afterwards, then everyone, including me, will not forget your help!"

Looking at his deep gaze and sincere expression, and then looking at the earnest looks on the faces of the people around him, Guo Shouyun nodded slightly.

In fact, he didn't expect to get anything out of these people right now. The reason why they make a show of waiting for a price is mainly to express that their suggestions are not cheap, so that they can remember their help.

In the future, regardless of whether he joins the Kratos Brotherhood or not, with this foundation, it is easy to talk when we meet later. And human nature is greedy, and this time, through their own guidance, they have obtained substantial benefits. When these people come to the door again, they may be able to get some big benefits. At the same time, I also expanded my network and influence by the way.

"This company is called 'Netflix', and it is a streaming Internet company whose main business is the rental of videotapes and DVDs. At present, the speed of development is very fast, and in only three years since its establishment, it has already had 2.38 million subscribers! For now, this is the most promising Internet company in Silicon Valley!" Guo Shouyun said after some consideration.

In his future plans, Netflix is only an investment objective, not a core objective. Therefore, when he has already obtained 25% of its shares and guaranteed his core interests, he does not mind taking it out and sharing it with others, and then investing more funds in Netflix. Let it develop faster and at the same time be listed early, and at the same time, let the shares in your hands generate value as soon as possible.

"Is the Netflix company Mr. Guo talking about located in the town of Sagatos in Silicon Valley?" said Walter Henderson, who had never spoken much.

"Yes, Mr. Henderson knows about it?"

"Mr. Guo may have forgotten that the town of Sagatos is directly under the jurisdiction of Santa Clara County!"

Guo Shouyun suddenly said, "Mr. Henderson is a member of the Santa Clara County Council, of course, he knows about the well-known companies in his jurisdiction, but I am lonely!"

"Mr. Guo is polite, but as far as I know, Netflix is not a small company. It's not much smaller than LinkedIn. Moreover, it is still a question of whether or not to accept the investment!" said Walt Henderson.

"In this world, what is the easiest thing to make money!" After a pause, Guo Shouyun's gaze turned to Keith Braischroeder, who had not spoken, "I believe that with the strength of 'Kratos', it should not be difficult to achieve this goal." ”

Guo Shouyun's playful eyes made Keith Braischroeder frown slightly.

"Thank you Mr. Guo for informing us, we will make a decision after careful investigation of the investment in 'Netflix'!"

"Of course, I wish you success!" Guo Shouyun nodded and looked at the time, "I'm sorry everyone. It's not early today. I promised my girlfriend to call her in the evening, so I said goodbye first!"

At the same time as he stood up, Keith Braitschroeder, Walt Henderson and others also stood up.

"Since Mr. Guo still has something to do at night, then we won't keep you more. Keith smiled. Here, he seems to be the master. And Sully Wendelow didn't have much to complain about it. Martin Alexander's expression was a little melancholy from the beginning to now, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Guo Shouyun nodded, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly stopped from behind.

"Bruce, please wait a minute!"

looked at Cheng Tinghua who walked up, "Jerry, is there something wrong?"

"I love your "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", I have a chance today, please sign my name!"

Seeing that the other party was taken out from behind his ass as if he was doing a trick, Guo Shouyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

took it, habitually opened the title page, and an unfamiliar URL made him subconsciously shrink his pupils. After quickly turning a few corners in his heart, he quickly memorized the URL, and then turned the page quietly, and then used the pen handed over by Cheng Tinghua to sign his name on the back.

"That's it!"

"Thank you!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, and after glancing at the other party with a deep gaze, he quickly shifted his eyes. Said hello to the Keys and the others, and then walked out with Su Li and Martin seeing each other.

"Bruce, I'm sorry. I should have told you about today!" Martin Alexander said guiltily as they were about to be separated.

"It's okay! Besides, it's not a bad thing to know a few more friends!" After patting his friend's shoulder, Guo Shouyun took a deep look at the woman next to him who was always smiling.

"Su Li, Martin is my best friend, I hope you can get along with him well in the future!"

"Of course! I didn't know much about it when I was reading before. Later, I met more people, and I realized that Martin, who was straightforward and sincere, was the best fit for me!"

As she spoke, Surie Wendello smiled and put her arms around Martin Alexander's right arm. It looks like you've found true love. But no one knows how much of it is true.

Looking at the excitement and a hint of pride on his friend's face, Guo Shouyun didn't say much.

"In that case, then I'm relieved. Go back, there are quite a few people in your family!" After the words fell, after Matthew Bruce held the car steady, Guo Shouyun opened the car door and sat in.

After saying goodbye, sitting in the back seat, he couldn't help but think of the last URL Cheng Tinghua gave him. Obviously, in the end, the other party was going to remind himself of something, but it was not easy to speak directly.

"What the hell is it?"

Guo Shouyun's face showed a touch of deep thought.

"Boss, we're here!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the car had stopped steadily in the fountain square in front of the manor under the driver's hand of Matthew.

nodded, pushed the car door, looked at Wendy who had already come out of it, and Guo Shouyun stepped forward to meet him.

"How's it going, are you still having fun tonight?"

After taking Guo Shouyun's coat, Wendy asked as she walked.

"You see I came back so soon, I should have guessed the result!"

"Didn't go well?"

Guo Shouyun nodded and briefly recounted his experience tonight.

"Brotherhood of Kratos? I haven't heard much of it!" Wendy Solo shook her head, there are thousands of fraternities and sororities in the United States, but there are only a few that are truly top-notch, and Yale's Skull and Bones Society is one of them.

"Are you ready to say yes?"

"Of course not, if it's 'Archimedes', I might think about it, but 'Kratos' is still too far away!" Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

Moreover, he has long thought about the future PE object of LinkedIn. If it weren't for the big surprise, or the temptation he couldn't refuse, he didn't want to make any more trouble.

Wendy Solo nodded, and after a little hesitation, "Boss, Kratos is certainly not worth investing in, but for your future career and development, connections and circles are essential!"

"Of course I know that. But I'm not a politician or an opportunist, and I spend most of my energy on my career, and I need to think carefully about things that require a lot of energy, such as organizing circles and connections. Moreover, I believe that one person who can make friends is worth ten general friends!"

Speaking of this, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but think of Ao Guanhai and his wife. This is the second person besides Rowling who needs to go to great lengths to win over.
