"I'd like to invest in your Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide!"

Although Su Chenyu's words were plain and quite casual, in the ears of Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, it was as shocking as a thunderbolt.

After a moment of confusion, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro glanced at each other, and then a thick ecstasy appeared on their faces, yes, how could the two of them not be so ecstatic?

After all, Su Chenyu's sentence is not just a sentence, for Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, it represents a lot of US dollars - this is real money.

To be honest, neither Yang Zhiyuan nor David Ferro had the luxury of expecting the other party to really invest in their own small websites since they received Su Chenyu's invitation. You know, in Silicon Valley, there are really many entrepreneurial teams like "Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide" that are not even companies, so Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro just came with the mentality of giving it a try.

However, who would have thought that this "try it" would really attract investment, and it is no wonder that Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are not confused.

However, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are top students at Stanford after all, although they see that their entrepreneurial path is likely to come back to life, but after the ecstasy, they immediately calmed down, because they want to see what kind of requirements the young boss of the investment institution will prescribe?

Who doesn't know that those venture capital funds in Silicon Valley and Wall Street are all masters who eat people and do not spit out bones? Therefore, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are quite cautious, and they do not want to work hard for more than half a year and return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

After glancing at David Ferro, Yang Zhiyuan said a little nervously, "I wonder how Mr. Su is going to invest in our Yahoo Internet navigation guide?"

After listening to Yang Zhiyuan's words, Su Chenyu nodded, put down the coffee cup in his hand, handed over a piece of information with a smile, and said: "Our Ginkgo Fund has made a comprehensive value assessment of the Yahoo Internet navigation guide, you can take a look at it first!"

Taking the document from Su Chenyu's hand, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro eagerly browsed it, they wanted to see how the other party's Ginkgo Fund evaluated their website.

As Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro went through the documents, Su Chenyu said slowly: "According to our assessment, we have estimated the Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide at $6 million to $8 million, which is based on the overall situation of your website and its future development prospects. ”

"I wonder if you two have any objections to this?"

Putting down the documents in their hands, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro shook their heads in unison, because even they couldn't believe that the website that a few of their friends had built was so valuable? Moreover, in this Ginkgo Fund's evaluation report on Yahoo's Internet navigation guide, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro were surprised to find that there were so many hidden bugs on their websites, as well as the current situation of the entire Internet industry-I have to sigh, this group of venture capital companies is awesome.

$8 million, that's not a small number.

Since the two of you have no objection to this valuation, then we can talk about the next step, the specific form of investment. ”

While speaking, Su Chenyu handed over another document, and then said: "This is the specific details of cooperation, you two can take a look." ”

This time they couldn't wait, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro almost grabbed this document from Su Chenyu's hand in a "grabbing" way, and then browsed it word by word.

"We at the Ginkgo Fund have invested $4 million to form a new Yahoo company with the Yahoo Internet Navigation Guide. The newly formed Yahoo Inc. wholly owns all of Yahoo's Internet Navigation Guide's assets, of which we own 49% of the shares, the two of you jointly own 50% of the shares, and 1% of which will be jointly owned by other employees. ”

"As for how the shares of the two of you will be distributed, it will be up to the two of you to arrange the distribution. ”

"After the new Yahoo Company is formed, the two of you, including all of the company's founding employees, are not allowed to leave the company for two years. ”

……

When Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro carefully browsed through all the terms, Su Chenyu stared at the two of them, and explained the details of the cooperation one after another.

Finally taking his attention away from the file, David Ferro pondered for a moment and said, "What about the management and operation of the company?"

"Please rest assured that since I have asked the two and all the founding employees to stay in their posts, they will naturally not interfere in the specific operation of Yahoo. ”

Yes, Su Chenyu gave David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan a positive answer, to be honest, he was not interested in running Yahoo at all. Besides, once Yahoo goes public, when his market value is close to or reaches its peak, Su Chenyu will gradually cash out all the shares he holds.

Hehe, no blowing, no black, Su Chenyu doesn't look at the management skills of Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, after all, he can make a company with a market value of more than $120 billion to less than $5 billion - this is also a divine ability.

So, investing in Yahoo is just investing — it's just a business, that's all.

"How's it going?

What is there to be dissatisfied with, it is completely the investor of his dreams, so Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro both smiled and nodded.

"I have one condition, though. ”

Well, as soon as they heard Su Chenyu's words, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro suddenly became nervous, for fear that Su Chenyu would put forward some harsh conditions.

"You say!"

Looking at the nervous Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, Su Chenyu couldn't help but smile, how can these two people look like IT tycoons in later generations, but also, in the face of investors, who is not a grandson?

"If Yahoo needs to increase its capital and expand its financing in the future, then I request that it can only be followed by Ginkgo Fund and the investment institutions we have agreed to. ”

Well?

Listening to Su Chenyu's words, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro were stunned, the two of them really didn't think about it so much, and there was no need for the two of them to object to this matter at all-because the two of them didn't think so far at all.

So, without any hesitation, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro nodded in unison and said solemnly: "It's no problem!"

Seeing that both of them nodded in agreement, Su Chenyu said with a smile: "Okay, since this is the case, then we can sign the contract at any time, and the $4 million will arrive immediately after the signing." After that, our finance and auditors go to Yahoo. ”

"What do you two think?"

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are now thinking about the $4 million, what else can there be a problem, and hurriedly said: "No problem at all!"

Since everyone is fine, the next thing is much simpler, and it's OK to sign a contract directly.

So, in this café that is not well-known at all, Ginkgo Fund, the absolute first brother in the venture capital industry in the future, successfully completed its first investment - investing in the famous Yahoo.

Well, what the hell is this Ginkgo Fund?

Hehe, Ginkgo Fund is a new "trumpet" opened by Su Chenyu, focusing on venture capital in high-tech companies such as the Internet IT industry, which is exclusively controlled by Su Dashao - after all, no one can have such an accurate foresight ability, this is the greatest benefit of the reborn.

Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc., before the rise, were just a small role that Silicon Valley had to dispense, after all, this kind of company Silicon Valley had to be founded and closed down every day if there were not 1,000. Therefore, Su Chenyu only needs to take this ride according to the trajectory of history, after all, he wants to be an "investor", not an "IT man".

With his Su Dashao's Ginkgo Fund, Sequoia Fund, IDG, SoftBank Capital, DCM Capital, etc., just trouble these venture capitalists to stay where to stay.

After signing with Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro and officially taking Yahoo into their arms, Ginkgo Fund did not make the slightest noise - in fact, even if they did, no one wanted to know. After all, one is a newly formed venture capital fund, and the other is an even more pitiful Dick Yahoo - who is so idle that they pay attention to these two goods?

However, in the future, after Yahoo goes public and creates a wealth myth in the Internet IT era, everyone will return to review today's history and know how awesome the Ginkgo Fund is. Because, today's investment of $4 million will bring more than $60 billion to the Ginkgo Fund in the future - more than 10,000 times the return on investment, just ask who else you have?

However, after all, these are all things that come later, and now it's better to honestly walk the road under your feet and get Yahoo up first.

For Yahoo, Su Chenyu really kept his promise, except for providing a $400 investment, he really didn't care about a little more - it's better to let this guy grow savagely.

To be honest, in fact, Su Chenyu was really worried that Yang Zhiyuan would launch his "great god skill" in advance and directly bankrupt Yahoo. You must know that in the future, Yahoo was able to fall from a market value of $120 billion to less than $5 billion, and Yang Zhiyuan, the "god", was absolutely indispensable - opportunities hit Yang Zhiyuan one after another like raindrops, and he was able to dodge them one after another.

Whether it is Yahoo's acquisition of Google, or the acquisition of Facebook, or Microsoft's $50 billion acquisition of Yahoo, Yang Zhiyuan can perfectly avoid the past. In the end, Yahoo was naturally like a "coffee table", full of "cups", and ended up with a $4.8 billion acquisition by the American telecommunications giant Verizon.

However, these are not what Su Chenyu has to worry about, anyway, he only knows that now that Yahoo has entered his arms, there will be countless dollars flying towards him in the future......
