Silicon Valley, USA.

Larry Page found Yang once again, this time during work hours, and he came to visit and sit in her office.

"Regarding the modification of the contract, I have already consulted Mr. Chen. Yang Runling sat across from him, feeling like a woman in the workplace, "Fellow shareholders of Google naturally want to contribute to the development of the company, so Mr. Chen's answer is YES." ”

Page clenched his fist under the table and said, "That's perfect, Miss Yang! I don't even know how to express my gratitude to Chen!"

"I'll help you get it across," Yang said, "but Mr. Page, in the summer of 1998, $500,000 bought only 10 percent of the shares...... You shouldn't be ready to let Mr. Chen suffer this loss, right?"

Page said: "Of course, I understand what you mean, we have a plan, we will compensate Chen, such as subscribing to Google shares at a low price, in order to show sincerity we can share a higher subscription amount, such as a cumulative no more than 18%, which is no problem." ”

Yang Runling was convinced, "Do you still want Mr. Chen to pay?"

Page said: "Please understand, Miss Yang, the low price is already dissatisfying to new investors, and they will think why I buy a share at a more expensive price, which will give them an unfair feeling." ”

"Don't mention that, Mr. Page, you will personally discuss this with Mr. Chen. Yang Runling talked about what he heard, "Mr. Moretz of Sequoia Capital seems to have a lot of appreciation for you and your partner Mr. Brin, I have read his reports, his investment cases, and learned about him, Mr. Moretz is different from his colleague Don Valentine, Tang invests in promising industries, and Mr. Moretz is more obsessed with investing, and he has taken a fancy to the two of you." ”

Page confidently said, "Google deserves it." ”

Yang Runling asked: "Mr. Moretz is eager to become a shareholder of Google, I wonder if he is willing to contribute to this company like Mr. Chen?"

Paige had an ominous premonition.

Yang Runling continued: "There is an Internet company in Xiangjiang called China.com, and Mr. Chen hopes that the compensation is the equity of China.com. ”

Chen Zier has recently come to his senses, and completely gave up the idea of Yugong, these businessmen are monsters who only have interests, and it is not good to set up camp in advance to get shares and then start dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, if people don't kick you out at that time, even if they have a good heart, they will leave you so much equity?

Everything but cash is fake, and a year later, I have hundreds of millions of dollars in hand more than anything else. The road to wealth cannot be relied on by others, but by oneself. Even if he is not as good as these super-rich people in the end, his achievements, no matter how big or small, are made by himself little by little...... The above is purely a joke, pretending to be used...... Chen Zier will not give up his current equity in Google, give up the refusal to dilute the clause, but there are also pre-emptive options, and he will spend some money to buy some of Google's future financing, after all, it is a million profits...... It's not a ......

But this time he was on the side of the compensation.

Page is a mixed Internet, how many have heard of this company, and now the portal is popular, since China.com acquired a portal website, the momentum has become even stronger.

"I can't guarantee that," he said. ”

Yang Runling suggested: "You can fly to Zhonghai to negotiate with Mr. Chen in person, it is best to bring Mr. Moretz's envoy, everyone is for the development of Google, there will be a solution if there is a common goal." ”

Headquartered on Dune Road in Monroe Park, Sequoia Capital's legendary venture capital firm has two godfather investors, one is Don Valentine, the founder of Sequoia Capital, who has successfully invested in high-tech companies such as Apple, Cisco, and Oracle, and the other is Michael Moretz, who has successfully invested in Yahoo Google.

The investment styles and philosophies of the two are also completely different, Don Valentine values the market the most, simply put, it is to invest in a company with huge market demand, but this is actually a false proposition, and it is the most difficult to see that a company has a market.

Michael Moretz pays more attention to the observation and research of the quality of leaders, this year Silicon Valley is the era of portals, traffic is king, not many people think that search engines will become a business mining tool, that is, Yahoo itself is also making portals, but Moretz firmly invested in Google, especially the successful investment in Yahoo made him strengthen this confidence.

He admired Page and Brin as much as he admired Yang and Ferro.

Moretz, a typical white American face with glasses and a keen eye for observation, was given the latest information by his assistant, who organized it into materials and sent them to him.

The assistant added, "Mr. Beale said that the CEO of the company, which had only 12 employees, made Chinese investors back down. ”

Moretz was very busy at work, and he looked at many small companies every day, so he asked rhetorically, "Which company has only 12 employees?"

"Google, sir, that company called Google. ”

Moretz remembered the two partners, they were excellent and did not disappoint him, but he was also an old fox, "There is no follow-up compensation clause?"

He flipped through the materials and looked at them carefully, and then ordered, "Have we inspected a company called China.com?"

The assistant recalled: "Yes, sir, the chairman of the executive committee of the board of directors of that company is called Qian Guofeng, but the company's affairs are in charge of the vice chairman Ye Keyong. ”

He was careful to memorize this information, and Moretz didn't care about the person he dismissed, "Show me the man's materials, all of them." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Moretz spent more than two hours watching, and it seemed that China.com had no investment value, their leaders were fundamentally engaged in capital operation, the relationship between the company and capital was extremely complicated, a large number of shares were given to overseas investors, and the company could not survive for ten years.

His judgment was right, China.com really hasn't had much of a year.

"I obviously have the vision to find Page and Brin, but I am obsessed with Ye Keyong......" Moritz always felt a little weird.

Chen Zier himself was preparing to meet another big guy, the real big guy, but in fact, he no longer had the 'sense of worship' of the little people when he went to Page and Brin, and at that time he wanted to take the lead and make some money.

Now, it feels too far away, Ali Baba is a very good cow, but when he is a cow, Chen Zier's youngest days are almost over, and the big iron rod has become a small wooden stick, what else are you talking to me about?

The Spring Festival has passed, Master Ma according to his agreement with Chen Zier that day, to Zhonghai to call him, Hangzhou and Zhonghai are not far away, he waited a few more days, but he is also worried that after a long time, multimillionaires will forget about themselves.

So, after March and April, he came to Zhonghai.
