Chapter 547: Tripartite Talks
Because of Ding Yi's early joining, Google is now stronger than it has ever been, with more than 500 million searches per day, which has also caused Google's capital consumption to be greater. Now Google, with less than 100 employees, must be valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
If Ding Yi had the idea when he was first reborn, no matter how much valuation Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Huaying gave, he would follow up.
But now, he chose to forget it, there is no need, the money is inexhaustible, everyone really turns their faces and talks about it, and Ding Yi may not be able to get more benefits.
However, anyone who tries to snatch benefits from Ding will be met with a counterattack.
In this round of Google financing, Larry and Sergey tried to kick out Ding Yi's Xuanyuan investment, and Ding Yi will do what they want?
Just kidding, that's really muddy.
When the two of them asked Ding Yi for his thoughts on valuation, Ding Yi smiled, "You know that I have a lot of things lately, and I haven't paid much attention to Google, so you can talk about it first, and then wait for me to understand the situation, okay?"
Ask him for his thoughts?
Ding Yi is not stupid, he just wants to pull him into the ring and fight with Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Huaying.
Larry Page and Sergei Brin are not of the same mind with these two, it was only Sequoia Capital who came to the door, or Kleiner Perkins Huaying from Sergey, and now they still want Latin to enter the ring.
Of course, Ding Yi would not push back as they wished.
Seeing Ding Yi's reaction, Sergei had a little headache, Ding Yi pushed back, nothing more than letting them talk first, in short, Ding Yi just didn't want to give them a quasi-word, so as not to be passive in the end.
Sergei paused and said, "Mr. Ding had better give us an explanation, and it will be easier for us to negotiate." ”
Ding glanced at Sergei, who was more socially friendly than Larry, and he was the one who got involved with the staff in the office......
So where there is Sergei, Larry doesn't talk much.
Hearing what he said, Ding Yi smiled, leaned back in his chair, and lit a cigarette.
This leisurely appearance made Sergei, who didn't know what he was thinking, and Larry and Larry were in their hearts.
After taking two sips, Ding Yicai said, "Now that the Internet market is changing with each passing day, if half a year ago, I said that Yahoo was worth more than 50 billion yuan, would you believe it? If Yahoo asked me to give an account at that time, how could I say it? According to the market value of 20 billion yuan at that time, or the current market value of 50 billion yuan? And a financing negotiation is not a matter of three days or two days, what do you say I will pay?"
Sergey, "......"
Everyone understands the madness of the Internet this year, and since Ding Yi uses Yahoo as an example, it proves that he will definitely not pay this bottom......
I'll probably just wait for them to come up with a rough result before making a decision.
In this way, after a few rounds of confrontation, Sergei and Larry, who did not get any answers from Ding Yi's side, left disappointed.
……
With a cigarette in his mouth, Ding Yi considered how to deal with Google's affairs.
In fact, Ding Yi's requirements are not high, and he only asks to maintain his equity from being diluted.
To be precise, in the previous rounds of financing, taking advantage of Google's low valuation and small investment, Ding Yi tried to join in proportionally to maintain his equity at 40% and not be diluted.
Ding Yi also has his own thoughts in his heart, and he estimates that this time Google's financing is about 200 million, and the investment of about 30 million yuan, accounting for 15 percent.
He only needs to come up with $4.5 million, which is enough for himself to maintain 40 percent of his shares from being diluted.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and saw that Natasha was propping one hand on the table, holding her cheeks, and staring at herself with a charming face, Ding Yi smiled, "What, look at how handsome I look?"
Natasha wasn't embarrassed, and simply admitted, "It's very handsome!"
Ding Yi smiled contentedly, and then said, "Help me make an appointment with Sequoia Capital, the person in charge of Kleiner Perkins." ”
"Huh?" Natasha straightened up at this, "Do you want to negotiate with them?"
Ding Yi extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and said with a smile, "We investors, we can't always let those two people from Google lead the way." ”
……
Xuanyuan Investment, because of the blog, followed by Yahoo, and Google's successful investment, is already a well-known investment company in Silicon Valley. Especially after the successful trading of Yahoo stocks, Ding Yi became a new legend of wealth, and Xuanyuan Investment naturally became a legend of a new investment company.
The whole Silicon Valley knows that Xuanyuan is very rich now.
So when Natasha asked Sequoia Capital and the heads of Kleiner Perkins to meet in the name of Xuanyuan Investment, the two quickly agreed.
The two are real investment institutions, which are not quite the same as Ding Yi, who determines the future, and pays more attention to risk sharing.
In the next two days, Ding Yi mainly met with the heads of the two companies.
In the end, the valuation of Ding Yi proposed 200 million, and the two parties agreed. As for Ding Yi's investment, fifteen points became thirteen.five, and the opinions of both sides were not too big......
After all, with the crazy momentum of the Internet now, if Ding Yi really consumes it, it will drag on for a few months, but it will only be a market-driven effect, and 30 million will not necessarily be able to get 13.5 by then.
Similarly, in exchange, on the Huaxia side, especially the Fengxiang High-tech Industrial Park, Ding Yi will also take care of the two of them.
The Chinese venture capital market is definitely the dominant one in Xuanyuan Investment now, and in comparison, IDG is much worse.
By the end of August, temperatures in the Bay Area were already mild.
In the conference room of Xuanyuan Investment's Silicon Valley branch, after Xuanyuan Investment, Sequoia Capital, and Kleiner Perkins roughly agreed, Richmond, the head of Kleiner Perkins, said, "It's easy for us to reach an agreement, but what does Google say?"
It's not that they don't understand that the reason why Google is looking for them this time is because they don't want Ding Yi's Xuanyuan Investment to be involved in it again.
So, without Google's consent, their agreement doesn't work at all.
And the reason why they agreed to Ding Yi's proposal was that they understood the meaning and asked Google to reject Ding Yi, and at the same time, it was also enough to save face for Xuanyuan Investment.
When Google rejects Xuanyuan's investment, they will be embarrassed to deliberately stumble, right?
Before, we've saved you face!
Xuanyuan Investment's office location is definitely the core area of Silicon Valley, and Stanford is not far from the window. ”
"Alright then!"
Seeing Ding Yi's confident appearance, Richmond shrugged his shoulders, as for how Ding Yi persuaded Google, he didn't care.
Or maybe he even hoped that Ding Yi couldn't convince Google......
