The ICQ team eventually rented a house near Mountain View, a typical American-style home, with two floors and six rooms.

Once everything was settled, Viggs put his arm around Wady's shoulders and said, "Hey, bro, don't always have a bitter face. We're in a much better position than Apple and Microsoft were starting from, they're just a garage. ”

"Within six months, we will have better conditions. Zhang Chen's voice came from the door.

Zhang Chen waved the agreement in his hand, "The lawyer has prepared the agreement, you can take a look at it, and you can sign it without any problems." ”

Viggs hurriedly gathered all three of them together, and looked at the legal documents that were dozens of pages thick, and all three of them had a headache.

Zhang Chen smiled: "Don't worry, there are no trap clauses here, you can take your time." ”

Goldfinger was the one of the three people who was more familiar with the investment aspect, and looked at it carefully, "Ok, no problem, it's the same as we talked about before." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "I must remind you that I can do without voting rights, but I have asked for special rights for shareholders, and I can dispose of my equity according to my own will without your consent, which is also compensation for my waiver of voting rights." I must remind you of this. ”

The three of them considered that as long as the voting power was in their own hands, there would be no consequences like Jobs being kicked out of Apple. The other shareholder rights are not so important to the three of them. The three of them felt that there was nothing unreasonable, and they all said that there was no problem, and they all signed the agreement.

Zhang Chen snapped his fingers: "OK, I wish us a happy cooperation!" As he spoke, he handed over the $400,000 check that had been prepared to the three of them.

The three of them were a little excited when they took the check, and in the most difficult time, they even thought about selling 20% of their shares for $100,000. Now, although he has given up 20% of his equity, he has not lost his voting rights, and he has also taken an additional $300,000 investment. This gave the three fledgling young people a feeling of getting rich once.

After the agreement was signed, Zhang Chen didn't talk nonsense, just discussed the online release time of ICQ with the three of them, and then said goodbye.

Zhang Chen and Tang Miaomiao have moved to Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, next to Stanford. Su Zhuorui can't move, after all, the place where she lives is only a bridge away from Berkeley, and if she moves to the Bay Area, it will be too far.

Tang Miaomiao has an international driver's license, so it saves a lot of trouble, and at Zhang Chen's suggestion, Tang Miaomiao bought a Toyota Corolla as a means of transportation.

Although Zhang Chen can drive, because he is not old, he still has to let Tang Miaomiao be the driver in the next few days. And Tang Miaomiao, in the future, will be a graduate student at the Stanford School of Management.

"Hi, Zack, meet again. Roger greeted Zhang Chen with a smile.

Zhang Chen smiled: "Miss Barros, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have become beautiful again." ”

The interview location agreed between Zhang Chen and Roger this time was Tang Miaomiao's villa, and the cameraman was still Barr, but a few more TV station staff who operated the live broadcast equipment were added.

The live broadcast time is only ten minutes, so Roger is not polite, and all the questions are straight to the point.

"Zack, how is your website running now?" Roger stretched out the microphone in front of Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen turned on the computer: "As you can see, I have now sold 557 grids and have a revenue of 50,000 US dollars. ”

Roger exclaimed, "Ah, it's only been two days since our interview aired, and you sold so much?"

Zhang Chen smiled: "Yes, and it will get faster and faster, and now I am considering hiring someone to handle the contract and renewal matters." ”

"It's worth mentioning that my website now has more than 100,000 daily visits, which ranks eighth among all websites. ”

Roger emphasized: "All sites?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "Yes, the current daily visit to Yahoo is 300,000. We expect that by the next week, we'll have about half of Yahoo's average daily visits. ”

Roger laughed, "That's a great achievement, so what's next for you?"

Zhang Chen said: "At present, several companies have expressed their intention to acquire to me, but due to some external reasons, it has not gone well. ”

Roger was perceptive: "What do you mean by external causes?"

Zhang Chen showed an innocent expression: "It is said that a guy named Steve Jobs sent an email to all investment companies and did not recommend that they buy my website. ”

Roger realized that this might be a big news, and became excited, Jobs has always liked to tear up with people, could it be that this time it tore Zhang Chen's head? But how could such a small website arouse Jobs' interest?

Roger asked, "Are you talking about Steve Jobs, the president of Pixar and the founder of Apple?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "It should be him, and I was also investigated by the Immigration Bureau in the morning, and it is said that he also sent an email to the Immigration Bureau, saying that I have a tendency to be an illegal immigrant." ”

Absolute big news, Jobs seems to be really in love with Zhang Chen!

Roger excitedly said, "Can you tell us how you came into conflict with Jobs?"

Zhang Chen said confidently: "He scolded the website I made for being garbage, oh yes, Steve, if you are also watching TV, I want to tell you that your NeXT is garbage, and the investor's money is almost lost, right? Your operating system is just frying Unix cold rice, uncreative. ”

Roger's face turned red with excitement: "Zack, you know, Steve is the one who created the Apple and changed the world, are you challenging him like this?"

Zhang Chen said calmly: "Challenge? Changing the world, I'll tell Steve, I'll do better than him. Together with a few friends, I launched an instant messaging app, which will be a revolutionary innovation in the entire history of the Internet, and will exponentially improve the communication efficiency of the Internet. As long as you are online, you can communicate with your friends without any delay, just like a face-to-face chat. Moreover, you can also meet more new people on it. ”

Roger realized that Zhang Chen was taking the opportunity to advertise, and said with a smile: "Then what is the name of your software?"

Zhang Chen said loudly: "I-C-Q! means Iseekyou! Everyone can go to our website to download this software for experience now, free of charge." Our website address is. ”
