096 A new wave of Internet craze
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone has been tired these days, and I don't like to drag it all the time, so let's round it up, the valuation of $3 billion, and 30% of the financing shares this time, this is our bottom line, and then you all discuss it here."
Eric, let's go. ”
On this day, Li Feng suddenly appeared at the negotiation site, and immediately gave an ultimatum, and finally said hello to Eric Schmidt and left the conference room with someone.
"BOSS, IS THIS OKAY?" ASKED ERIC SCHMIDT, A LITTLE WORRIED, LEAVING THE ROOM.
"Of course no problem, isn't it all very close to the bidding now, and both sides will finally take a step back and it's over. ”
Similarly, looking at Li Feng's remarks after he appeared, everyone in the conference room was discussing, and then the negotiators of all parties immediately picked up the phone and contacted the people behind him, which was also expected by Li Feng.
"BOSS, St. John Lee appeared, he gave the final bottom line, 3 billion estimates, 30% of the shares, how to arrange next?"
"Oh, did it appear, it seems that our little friend can't help it either. ”
“……”
Such similar words appeared in the conversations between the representatives of the parties to the negotiations and the capital tycoons behind them.
Half an hour later, Eric approached the conference room with people again, and then the group of delegates agreed to the results proposed by Li Feng, as for the specific share distribution, it was up to the group of people behind them to distribute it.
Because of this, the negotiations were truly over, and the parties left one after another.
……
Three days later, the final results came out, led by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins Huaying, Defengjie, Da Mo, and Goldman Sachs, and the remaining 10 capitals followed, with a total of 900 million US dollars in financing plans, of which Sequoia and Da Mo each got 5 points, Defengjie, KPCB, and Goldman Sachs each got 4 points, and the rest got a total of 8 points of shares, opening a precedent for the first round of financing in Silicon Valley.
Similarly, in the end, Li Feng personally took out 5 points again and sold them to Kenny, General Motors and other investment capital, naturally, these need to be taken out with real money.
Fortunately, these shares are distributed through offshore companies, and several companies are directly remitted to Li Feng's overseas private account at the place where the offshore company was opened, which is a reasonable tax evasion.
Through this round of financing, Li Feng actually controls 61.5% of the shares, and at the same time, Eric Schmidt, the company's chief executive, controls 3.5% of the shares, but now the general manager is full of spring breeze and pride.
According to today's valuation, this 3.5-point share is worth more than 100 million, no wonder he is so happy, he really stepped into the ranks of billionaires in one day.
The last point is that Li Feng is considering that he will come up with another 5 points for equity incentives, including management and employees, etc., which are also in Li Feng's plan, and Eric has begun to prepare, which has received a warm response from the whole company.
With the end of Feixun's financing, the discussion about Feixun and the Internet has once again boiled in the United States, and a large number of young American imperialists have poured into the Internet industry with the same dream of gold rush in the west, and the number of Internet users in the United States has surged by 2 layers at once.
Similarly, the market value of Yahoo and Internet-related industry companies has surged to varying degrees in recent times, which has further intensified people's Internet gold rush dreams.
……
At the same time, the media across the United States is boiling again.
"How long does it take to go from 0 to 3 billion market capitalization?"
"The Incredible Internet, the New Myth of Wealth Creation"
"New Wealth Gathering Place - Internet"
"The Unbeatable St. John Lee, the Incredible Flyer ICY"
“……”
All kinds of headline parties are flying around in the media news circles across the United States, and it can also be seen that the media is basically a virtue no matter where it is.
Because of the hot hype of the media, it completely attracted everyone's attention, and Li Feng achieved his desired goal and got rid of most of the attention for the development of the rest of the company.
It is also a coincidence that at this time, Amazon also came to intervene, publicize a wave, and rub some heat, Amazon has basically completed all the processes of listing, and finally determined that Amazon will officially log in to the NASDAQ on May 15, adding a fire to the already popular Internet.
Similarly, sharp-eyed media reporters saw the name of St. John Lee in Amazon's prospectus, which made Li Feng's wealth fever, which was originally hot because of Feixun's financing, go to a higher level.
……
In fact, Li Feng has already gotten Amazon's listing process and prospectus description, etc., on the eve of listing, Li Feng only has 8% of the shares on the surface, and is the second largest shareholder of the individual, in fact, counting the private fund that controls 30% of the shares.
However, in addition to shares, Li Feng's impact on Amazon is actually not so big, the butterfly effect is not obvious, and the market value and stock price are slightly higher than the hundreds of millions in the previous life. Similarly, it has 2 seats on the board of directors and 20% of the voting rights in Amazon.
Instead of Yahoo and instant messaging, these two projects have been directly deployed globally from the beginning, making the two companies multinational companies from the very beginning, occupying the global market, and definitely allowing the two companies to develop several years ahead of schedule.
That's why the valuations of both companies and their market capitalization are so high today. Today's Amazon's first round of IPO, according to the issue price, is only valued at more than 500 million US dollars, which is only 100 million higher than the memory of the previous life, which is the biggest butterfly effect, and it is really a very small company.
At the same time, some financial media are following Silicon Valley, constantly reporting a series of news about the establishment of large and small Internet companies, and Silicon Valley has never been more lively than ever before, and you can hear about the birth of new legends about Silicon Valley every day.
At this time, all the bigwigs behind the capital have understood that the Internet era has come, so capital has poured into Silicon Valley, making the already hot Silicon Valley now the central focus of the United States.
With Netscape and Yahoo Zhuyu in front, and Feixun's super financing and valuation behind, everyone doesn't want to miss this new Internet market and a new wealth feast.
……
Seeing the increasingly lively Silicon Valley, Li Feng is ready to slip away, anyway, Feixun has completed the task, successfully completed the first round of financing, and attracted the attention of the public.
The next step is to prepare for the British trip, and there is still a big meal waiting for you, which is Rolls-Royce, the symbol of the British automobile industry.
Now that he has a new decision, Li Feng immediately prepares, and now he is the focus in Silicon Valley, and it is very inconvenient to have a large number of media reporters follow him in and out again.
First explained the situation to Eric, naturally, there are the next development issues of Feixun, such as mailboxes, portals, especially the connection between mailboxes and YY accounts and the connection with the payment system PayPal, etc., and then will be the key development projects of Feixun, which will discuss with Yahoo and Yang Zhiyuan a little, not malicious competition, but healthy competition.
Yes, now Li Feng has finally begun to use the number of ICY users to get involved in other industries, the first of which is the portal and mailbox, and after the financing is completed, he finally has the money to do things.
When I heard that Li Feng was going to the UK to buy Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, I was surprised and excited at the same time, this is Rolls-Royce, which is simply one of the symbols of the car.
Another is to be surprised by Li Feng's ambitions, and look at Li Feng's current career map, from real estate to financial investment, banking, from military security to law firms, from entertainment media to fashion and luxury, from the Internet to sports, and now he is entering the automobile industry again.
Now it seems that Li Feng's career is very successful, thinking of this, Eric can't help but be shocked in his heart, it's not that he doesn't know, it's really shocking.
……
After handing over the company to Eric and putting aside his worries, Li Feng said hello to some friends again, and left Silicon Valley without anyone knowing.
