Chapter 202: Meeting in the Air
New York JFK Airport
Ivana looked at Andy with reluctance, although Andy stayed for another day because of the mortgage, and the two nested in the hotel room for a day, but the separation was imminent, Ivana was still a little lost. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Baby, well, it's not about how long we have been apart. Andy looked at Ivana, feeling her reluctance, so he comforted her.
"I know, back in Los Angeles, obediently, call me every day!" Ivana calmed down, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and whispered to Andy coquettishly.
Andy smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders, "I promise! Didn't you put all your girlfriends into my negotiation team?"
"Giggles, hate it, it's clear that you have to ask Emily to participate in this negotiation... ”
Before Ivana could finish speaking, Andy hugged Ivana and kissed her. A group of people standing not far away, all of them looked speechlessly at the two people who seemed to be the center of the world, kissing under the flashing lights.
After a long time, Andy smiled, squinted his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to caress Ivana's rosy cheeks, and whispered, "I'm on the plane." ”
Ivana watched Andy take the lead, followed by 7 or 8 people, with a distant back, with an elegant smile on her pretty face, after all, she was surrounded by paparazzi, she would not lose her temper in this kind of public place, until Andy passed the security check and walked into the airport passage before retracting her gaze.
Ivana's little secretary walked over from the side, "Boss." ”
Glancing at the secretary, she took out the white-rimmed sunglasses in the pocket of her trench coat and put them on, "Let's go back to the company." ”
This time flying to San Francisco, Andy did not choose to be an airline's passenger plane, but rented a private jet, after all, there were a lot of people in their group, and they also included two Dobermans.
As for the ocelot... has completely become Ivana's follower, don't say it.
A group of people boarded the private jet, all sat down one by one, fastened their seat belts, and after confirming that it was correct, the plane began to move after a while, and it was obvious that the plane flew off the ground, and then after the flight attendant announced, Andy and the others all unbuckled their seat belts and did it step by step at a conference table on the private jet.
The flight attendant quickly brought everyone a cup of coffee, and Andy looked around at the members of the think tank sitting across from him, all of them looking at him with excitement.
"It's time to go. Andy nodded at Alvitatre.
Alvitatre took a folder from the hand of a person next to him, opened it, put some A4 paper documents in front of Andy one by one, and began to explain, everyone else listened quietly, and Li Xiaoying was among them.
The team led by Alvitatre has already made contact with Facebook's Xiao Mazi, and has had several exchanges, and Xiao Mazi is still very welcome to Andy, a writer with many names, who wants to invest in Facebook.
Of course, who let him negotiate with Yahoo is currently at an impasse, Xiao Mazi wants to keep Facebook alone, and does not want to merge into Yahoo, Xiao Mazi thinks that it is very beautiful, Yahoo spent 1 billion to buy Facebook, and he is still the one who has the final say, unless Yahoo is funny.
Since the negotiations have failed, Facebook, which is currently expanding its influence all over the world, is in a state of no money to burn, and the $25 million injection just received in January this year has long been spent in Europe.
However, in Andy's opinion, perhaps Xiao Mazi is more concerned about Andy being an Internet layman, because in this way, he doesn't have to worry about the new shareholders making trouble for him, and he can even fool Andy to completely stand on his side and fully trust and support him.
What Alvitatre showed Andy was the result of the recent work of their think tank, Facebook's detailed asset assessment, which estimated its approximate market value, after all, Andy wanted to invest money, and would not calculate the proportion according to what they thought was the market value. Xiao Mazi now dares to shout that Facebook's market value is 4 billion, even if Andy thinks that compared with a future, the sincerity is not very high, but after listening to the analysis of the think tank, he gave up his preparation to be the wronged leader.
"We think a market capitalization of $1.9-2 billion is reasonable, but after talking to Facebook's negotiators, they refused to accept our assessment of their market capitalization, believing that we were completely undervaluing Facebook. Alvitatre spoke softly, and in a soft voice, he stretched out his well-maintained finger and pointed to a set of numbers on a document to explain to Andy.
"What market value do they want to calculate? or the original 4 billion?" Andy frowned slightly.
"3.5 billion, this is the last number they reported to us, however, this is only a reference number, after all, the negotiations have only been carried out a few times, there is still a lot of room for compression, although Facebook's model has great potential, but it has not yet been able to make a profit, which is its Achilles' heel. Alvitatre quickly explained.
"Hehe, have you ever been in contact with Mark Zuckerberg?" Andy shook his head and smiled, and suddenly asked casually when he thought of Xiao Mazi.
"No, it's always been their investment department, but, according to what we know from the negotiators, Mark Zuckerberg is very serious about our investments, and it is not easy to come to Facebook, in January and March last year, Facebook twice approved the authorization of a large number of additional common shares, and Mark Zuckerberg successfully diluted his share of one of his co-founders, Edward, to 10% Below, at the same time, Edward was kicked out of Facebook, although the company was calm on the surface, but everyone still had a lot of complaints about Mark Zuckerberg's scheming in private. Alvitatler said with a hint of disgust for the little pockmark.
Well, all the famous IT companies in the world, which one did not grow with the company, it started to tear from the inside, basically the co-founder will only leave one as the boss, and the others will withdraw with the shares.
Andy's understanding of Xiao Mazi still has a clear understanding by watching the pirated version of "Social Network", even if many things in this movie are processed and not the same as reality, but the character and foul words of Xiao Mazi and his bad temper are still very objective.
"Hehe, in that case, then let's wait a few days before coming to the door, after all, Mark Zuckerberg is a little anxious now, we can't go and cause trouble for others, don't you say?"
Andy's words made everyone present laugh, after all, the villain who kicked his partner out of the company in a despicable and deceptive way will not be respected, and the key person Edward also authorized his shareholder power to Xiao Mazi, and Xiao Mazi passed the authorization to increase common shares with another co-founder who was about to be kicked out of Facebook by Xiao Mazi without Edward's knowledge.
If Edward hadn't passed the law in the end, his 10% stake would have been reduced to 1/1000 to 3/1000 due to the dilution of his common stock, and he would have won and got back 5% of his Facebook shares.
Although Andy is also laughing, he has a deep wariness of this little pockmark who has not yet met, cold-blooded, greedy, and betrayal, all of which are shown in this genius little pockmark, even if he is very successful later, but it still makes people not like it.
