There seemed to be a voice ringing in my ears.
The cold voice that was ashamed and angry last night seemed very calm at this time.
Zhang Wei muttered and shouted don't make trouble, turned over and wanted to hug him, but he threw himself into the air, didn't think much about it in a daze, and continued to sleep.
"It's five o'clock, get up. Leng Yan patted the quilt.
"Again...... Sleep again. Zhang Wei was sleepy.
Leng Yan lifted the quilt directly, "Hurry up." β
Ouch I'll go, it's cold.
Zhang Wei, who was separated from the warmth, suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the house, it was still dark, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Leng Yan blinked and said, "Practice martial arts." β
is sleepy, Zhang Wei doesn't care, he pulls the quilt and is about to sleep, "I'll sleep again." β
There was a moment of silence.
It seems that the other party is really not going to disturb him sleeping.
But not long after falling asleep, a cold voice sounded again, "Really can't get up?"
Just wanted to respond with the voice, but suddenly thought of what he said last night, exercising for two hours a day, Zhang Wei looked at Leng Yan in a white sportswear with sleepy eyes, "But I'm really sleepy." β
Leng Yan didn't speak, just looked at him.
Zhang Wei was a little embarrassed to be looked at, and was about to get up, when he suddenly wanted to leave a lingering fragrance on his hand last night, ouch, not to mention how wonderful that taste was, really on third base, basically except for not eating, every part of Sister Leng's body had been touched, he was a little hot when he thought of this, swallowed his saliva and said: "If you kiss me, I will get up." I was a little nervous when I said this, and I didn't know if I would agree.
Surprisingly, Leng Yan leaned over and kissed him directly, and said naturally: "Get up." β
Kissed?
So natural?
In an instant, Zhang Wei felt happy, a woman woke you up in the morning and gave you a good morning kiss, what a happy thing is this? It seems that after experiencing last night's incident, Leng Yan completely let go of her heart, well, it should be like this.
And then...... It's a tragedy.
When practicing martial arts, Zhang Wei was abused wildly, and the content was very simple - Zama step, but he couldn't stand it for a long time, Leng Yan was also very strict, and she had to do everything she said.
"Sister, can I rest?"
"No, I can't. β
"My legs are so sore, I can't stand it anymore. β
"You stop and try. β
ββ¦β¦β
Two hours!
It's a whole two hours of walking!
When it was over, Zhang Wei felt that his legs were not his own, and he wanted to cry without tears, why didn't he enjoy comfort and have to practice this martial arts?
In fact, Zhang Wei doesn't really want to practice, it's just that practicing martial arts is really tiring, and he also understands in his heart that strict teachers produce high apprentices, and Leng Yan is strict with himself because he wants to practice well, no matter what, he has now taken the first step in practicing martial arts, and hopes to practice well in the future.
After the Zama step was over, Leng Yan kept massaging Zhang Wei's muscles, and said that if she was not by her side, it was strictly forbidden to practice by herself.
waited until after nine o'clock, Zheng Wen personally rushed over, and Zhang Wei went with him to look for Larry Page.
β¦β¦
California.
Mountain View, Santa Clara County.
When Zhang Wei and Zheng Wen arrived here, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was relatively warm, and a group of American imperialists followed behind with great momentum, and then the two dialed the phone number left by Larry Page for Mr. Ferro.
An unfamiliar voice on the other end of the line said, "Hello, I'm Sergei Mykhailovich Brin." β
Zhang Wei, who was standing on the side of the road, held his mobile phone and knew that this person was another founder of Google, "Hello Mr. Brin, I am from Huajin Capital, and I made an appointment to meet you today." β
"Oh, I know, I'm a little busy right now, can I stay for a while?" Sergey Brindo.
"Okay, when?" Zhang Wei said very considerately, after all, the other party is Google, although it has not yet made a fortune, but in memory, this is one of the most valuable companies in the world, comparable to Apple.
Sergey was a little noisy, "Around four o'clock." β
Zhang Wei asked for the address again, and then hung up the phone.
Just hung up the phone.
Zheng Wen asked, "How's it going?"
Watching the cars coming and going on the road, Zhang Wei said casually: "They are a little busy, let's wait until four o'clock." β
Zheng Wen was a little unhappy, "Didn't you say that it was three o'clock in the afternoon?"
Zhang Wei said with relief: "Maybe the other party is indeed a little busy, let's find the Treasure Coffee Shop near King Avenue first." In fact, he is also a little unhappy with the backsliding attitude of the two founders of Google, but now he is begging to invest in the other party, and this little pimple can only be endured first, after all, the initiative lies with the other party.
β¦β¦
Brew Bao coffee shop.
Sitting by the window, Zhang Wei looked outside, Mountain View, also known as Mount View, is a major part of Silicon Valley, where many famous institutions such as Intel Corporation, Google Headquarters, Mozilla Foundation/Mozilla, Microsoft's MSN/Hotmail/Xbox/MSNTV division, SGI and the Ames Research Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States are located here.
Zheng Wen, who was sitting on the side, looked at his watch, "It's almost four o'clock, and no one has come yet?"
After coming back to his senses, Zhang Wei looked at him, "Wait a little longer, maybe someone will come." β
The security guards scattered around watched vigilantly at everyone coming and going, they were very professional.
Zhang Wei sat there and thought for a moment, leaning back on the sofa and thinking about how to persuade Larry Page and Sergey Brin to accept his investment.
How?
It must be with the help of Huajin Capital.
After thinking about it, Zhang Wei determined that Huajin Capital is the key, and now Huajin Capital has some fame on the side of the United States, especially in the eyes of small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs, Huajin Capital belongs to the god-like existence, but the two founders of Google did not find it at the first time, indicating that they are not too optimistic about Huajin Capital, or they do not want to accept investment from venture capital companies at the entrepreneurial stage.
Is it because Huajin Capital is not famous enough?
Or is it because the two really don't want to accept investment in the startup stage?
Zhang Wei didn't quite understand, and all this would have to wait until the two founders of Google arrived.
I waited another ten minutes.
Two strange and familiar faces walked in at the door.
Zhang Wei immediately confirmed that these two people were the founders of Google, and stood up and waved at Zheng Wennunu.
Larry Page took the lead and walked up, stretched out his hand to Zheng Wen, and said, "Hello." β
Sergey Brin also said hello.
Zheng Wen returned the salute.
The crowd sat down.
"I'm sorry, I was raising money just now, so I kept you waiting. Larry Page apologized.
Zhang Wei's heart tightened, fundraising? No wonder he was busy just now, he pretended to ask casually: "Did those two raise money?"
Sergei Brin smiled bitterly, "The money was raised, but the money was not much." β
Call!
No more is good!
Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief instantly, in his memory, Google accepted an investment of 100,000 US dollars, and later raised 1 million US dollars from family and friends as founding funds, it can be said that the two in front of them are not as difficult as when Mr. Yang and Mr. Fei Luo founded Yahu, perhaps it is precisely because the two families are relatively wealthy, so they have never looked for investment from venture capital companies.
Don't want to think so much!
Now let's talk to the two of you about investing first!
Zhang Wei drank coffee and was thinking about how to cut into the topic.
Over there, Zheng Wen had already talked to Sergei, "Huajin Capital believes that you have also heard of it, it is a company specializing in venture capital, and this time my boss and I came to see you because we are very interested in the search engine you made." β
Larry Page smiled: "It is precisely because of the fame of Joaquin Capital that Sergei and I decided to meet you. β
Zhang Wei interjected: "I heard that you are looking for investment?"
Sergei Brin's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and said: "I am looking for investment, and I have temporarily pulled in an investment of 500,000 US dollars." β
Half a million?
Pulled it so quickly?
Zhang Wei felt a little confused, this is a little out of memory, it stands to reason that Google initially pulled an investment of 100,000 US dollars, and then saw Sergei's expression, he immediately reacted that the other party was exaggerating.
"Oh, really?" Zhang Wei took the soup spoon and mixed the coffee, "Who invested in you 500,000?"
Zheng Wen also looked over curiously.
Larry Page continued: "Andy Bekhtohim, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems, invested in us. β
Sergey also smiled and said: "We finally have our first investment. β
Zheng Wen frowned, "Then you have invested enough?"
"Pretty much. Sergey leaned back on the sofa and looked very leisurely.
But Zhang Wei clearly saw a trace of nervousness on the faces of Larry Page and Sergei, he was a little secretly funny, these two people obviously want someone to invest, but they are still swollen and fat, it is very likely that they want to get a huge investment, but Zhang Wei is not stupid, he knows what the value of Google is now, and the investment has to be step by step, what should I do when I invest a lot of money now when I raise money?
This is something he does not want to see.
"If that's the case, then I deeply regret it. Zhang Wei spoke, "I'm sorry to disturb your time." β
Larry Page and Sergey were stunned.
Zheng Wen also looked a little confused, didn't he say a good investment?
Larry Page looked a little embarrassed, "That...... Are you asking us out to invest?" he wanted to bring the conversation back.
Zhang Wei snorted, "Now it seems that you have found investors, congratulations." β
Sergei sat on wax, what did he say just now that Mao found an investment, and bragged about 500,000 yuan, the real investor seems to be running away now, he said eagerly: "Maybe the funds are still a little insufficient, and you still need to find someone to invest." β
Secretly funny in his heart, Zhang Wei knew that the two of them were in an anxious mood, when he first came here, he was more anxious, and when he saw the appearance of the two, he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "If you don't have enough funds, you can go to Manhattan to find us, Uncle Zheng, and give them a business card." β
Larry Page and Sergei looked at each other, why didn't they talk about investment if they didn't agree?
Zheng Wen couldn't figure it out, but he still handed over the business card as Zhang Wei said, "You can call me if you have something." β
"Good...... All right. Larry Page hung his head.
Zhang Wei stood up, "I'm still a little bit of a departure in advance, the coffee money has been settled, and I have time to contact." β
As soon as he got up, not only Zheng Wen got up, but all seven or eight big men around him stood up and opened the way in front of him.
This situation scared Larry Page and Sergei, the two didn't expect Zhang Wei to travel with so many bodyguards, and these men are burly and majestic, they are not ordinary people at first glance, both of them regret that they want to slap themselves, why are you bragging just now, why are you bragging...... I can't cry if I want to, people don't talk about investment now, I'm leaving!
From the beginning of receiving Zheng Wen's call, the two of them were excited all night without sleeping, this is the initiative to find the investment, so they want to put some pressure to get more investment, but they didn't expect it to be the current situation!
Looking back at the expressions of the two, Zhang Weiwei curled the corners of his mouth, there will be no problem with taking a stake in Google, and now the two of them will be hung first.
Zheng Wen whispered in Mandarin: "Xiaowei, why did you leave suddenly?"
As soon as he walked to the door, Zhang Wei showed a confident smile, "I'll wait for them to find themselves, and then we will take the initiative!"
"Will they come to the door?" Zheng Wen was a little puzzled.
"Of course. Zhang Wei was sure, and looked back at the two whispering again, "They should be in dire need of funds." β
"But they said they had an investment of 500,000 yuan. Zheng Wen was puzzled.
Zhang Wei laughed, "They said you just believe it, let's go back and buy Netscape first." β
The reason why he doesn't want to invest is because Zhang Wei doesn't want to get very few shares, if the angel investment gets very few shares, there will be fewer shares in the next few rounds of financing, and he must take the initiative in order to get more shares, Zhang Wei is very clear about this.
At least angel round investment of not less than 30% of the shares to achieve their goals, this is Zhang Wei's firmest bottom line, but from just now, the two said that 500,000 investment has been very satisfied, it is very likely that the first investment needs not much, then to get fewer shares, rather than so, it is better to wait, wait until Google does need a large amount of money to enter the market, then may get more shares, although it may cost an extra amount of money, but compared to the acquisition of shares these money is completely worth it, who does not know how awesome Google will be in the futureοΌ
Zhang Wei is very eager to get a large stake in Google, at least, to become Google's third largest shareholder, which is the minimum bottom line, if possible, it is best to become the largest shareholder, provided that the two are willing to accept the sale of so much equity.
As for now, Zhang Wei thinks very clearly, go home first and acquire Netscape, no matter how awesome Google will be in the future, how many shares he can occupy in it is not the most critical, the key is to develop his own enterprises, for example, Huajin Capital, which is now the most important thing, only the company that belongs to his own control is the king, and the acquisition of Netscape allows Huajin Capital to take a big step forward on the road to becoming one of the world's top 500, which is the most important thing, and it is urgent! )
