Chapter 892 Conditions

"Never do evil! Can you do it?"

Looking at each other, what Larry and Sergey saw in each other's eyes was joy, excitement, excitement, and recognition!

In the end, it was Larry who spoke up first and gave an affirmative answer. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"If, I mean if," Fu Zhengyi deliberately paused for a moment before continuing. "What if a company wants to be able to obtain the right to advertise on your company's website in an 'exclusive' way at a high price?"

Even if the other party is the best company in the industry, monopoly is the source of stifling creativity, and everything we do is to let customers have more choices and find the information they need in the shortest time, rather than blindly pursuing profit maximization!"

Fu Zhengyi nodded, hit the enter key, and said when he saw that the webpage still couldn't be opened. "Okay, and another question, how many shares are you going to take out to fund the company's growth?"

"Fifty million! Ten percent!"

Flipping through the data provided by Larry, Fu Zhengyi shook his head. "It's only been four months since your website was launched, and even according to your own statistics, the number of searches per day is only in the thousands, and such a website is worth half a billion dollars?"

Unexpectedly, Larry would offer such an astonishing company valuation, and Sergey couldn't help but kick him with his foot, reminding him that some things need to be done in moderation!

Glaring at Sergei, Larry looked up and said seriously. As the founder of the company and the technology developer of the company, we do not want the company to be evicted one day because of the introduction of venture capital, so the valuation issue can be evaluated, but the proportion of shares transferred cannot be increased!"

Fu Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and still said in a flat tone. "If, I'm still emphasizing that this is 'what if'! If according to the current self-protection ability of your company's website, if you are continuously attacked by malicious attacks by cyber hackers, then what price do you need to pay for this, so as to ensure that your website can continue to run stably?"

Seeing Larry set his eyes on himself, Sergei hesitated before speaking. "We're using a cheaper and less efficient way to get a host of more advanced PCs and a more protected server, and we're going to increase our spending by $300,000 a month......"

"So if your website continues to have similar failures in the next six months, then in addition to changing server vendors, improving hardware facilities, and improving the protection capabilities of firewalls, are there any other ways to solve this problem?"

"Give me two to three weeks and our servers will be able to defend against similar malicious attacks......"

Hearing that Sergei's confidence was not particularly sufficient, Fu Zhengyi smiled and turned to Larry. "So in such a short period of time, is it possible that someone has developed an online search software that is better than yours and more suitable for the current development of the Internet?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The algorithm we used was developed after months of hard work, and even if a company were to develop the project with all its might, they would not be able to do it in three months!"

"Okay, so let's take three months! Do you think Yahu or Altavista, which has a 42% market share in the search market, will they be willing to pay them 10 million dollars for software development?"

Finally understood what the other party wanted to express after going around in such a big circle, Larry also felt deceived and got up angrily. "It's shameless for you to do this!"

Pointing to the web page that could not be opened yet, Fu Zhengyi pressed his hand and waited for Larry to sit down before continuing. "As long as the ideas that appear on the Internet, they can be copied! Yahu is developing towards a comprehensive development, but I believe that their technical reserves are far more powerful than your company, if I give Yahu 10 million development costs, entrust them to make a similar software, and then spend 40 million US dollars to promote, I believe that even if the software functions in a short period of time can not achieve the effect of the software you developed, but in terms of capital, this is definitely a very cost-effective deal, right?"

Sensing that the initiative was being lost, Larry hesitated and said. "Okay! $40 million injection, 20 percent shares!"

"In view of the software you have developed, I think it has very broad development prospects, and I accept no less than 40% of the shares!"

Before Larry could speak, Sergei shouted. "No! That's too much!"

"I can promise to grant you the voting rights of this part of the equity to exercise, and the specific time limit can be negotiated, but the shareholding ratio cannot be less, for this I would rather pay more money, and I don't want your company to be diluted when it reaches Series A, Series B, and Series C, and lose the investment ......income that may be obtained."

"40 million! At most, 30 percent! At the same time that you give up your voting rights, we can let you get the right to lead the next round of voting! When the company needs to continue to raise funds in the future, your company can lead the next round of bidding, and the proportion is also not less than 30 percent!"

Fu Zhengyi laughed deliberately. "No, no, no, we still don't want to play word games, I didn't think that today's meeting would talk about this point, if the lawyer is called, the relevant legal issues will definitely become the focus of the dispute, which is not in line with our previous happy and harmonious atmosphere!"

"Pay 30 million US dollars, 30 percent of the equity transfer, this is the bottom line we can accept, and in order to prevent the founder of the company from having the opportunity to let us out because of continuous capital injection, Sergei and I must hold the company in our hands, investors can enjoy the profits brought by the company's development, but the company must not become a prop played by capital!"

Larry's firmness made Sergei, who was sitting on the sidelines, nod repeatedly.

Seeing this, Fu Zhengyi pretended to hesitate, and thought for a moment before speaking with a smile. "Fifty million, forty percent! If you agree to my limited few conditions, then I can accept non-voting shares!"

"Please!"

"First, neither you nor Sergei should leave the company to develop other businesses; second, all investors in the future must accept the same conditions as me; third, adhere to the concept of 'never do evil' to let the company grow, and not abandon this principle because of the thirst for profit......"

After listening to what he said, Larry and Sergei were surprised and delighted, although they still didn't quite understand why the other party was so optimistic about the company's development prospects, but they also understood that the other party really didn't have the idea of controlling the company, but simply hoped to obtain investment income through the company's development.

Larry found it a little hard to understand. "Fu, can you really accept such a condition? Not even a member of the board of directors?"

"I hope you can tell me before you make a big decision, maybe I will make some suggestions, but the final decision is still in your hands! After the final agreement is implemented, both parties are bound by the law, what else do you have to worry about?"

Seeing that Sergei was already so excited that he couldn't hold back, Larry stretched out his hand. "Deal!"

After sending the two away, Fu Zhengyi immediately dialed Xi Meijuan's phone and asked her to send someone to contact the founder of Google immediately in the name of [FLY International Company], which was established in the Cayman Islands, in exchange for 40% of Google's shares at a price of 50 million US dollars, and strive to complete the signing of the relevant agreement within a week.

"What? Done?"

"Yes, before the agreement comes into effect, they have to make sure that they don't know the relationship between [FLY International] and [FL North America Ventures]!"

Recording the request, Xi Meijuan asked with some curiosity why he was able to convince Larry and Sergei so easily?

"Actually, it's very simple, they once hoped to sell this software to Altavista for a million dollars, but the other party refused because of the strategic development layout, and then they found Yahu Company, hoping to reach a cooperation, but David also rejected them, so the two had to start developing on their own......"

Hearing Fu Zhengyi say the situation, Xi Meijuan smiled bitterly. In fact, there are many software companies that want to cooperate with Yahu, but maybe because of the growth in value, maybe because the company's development is too smooth, Yang Wenyuan believes that Yahu will replace Microsoft as the world's highest market capitalization, the greatest development potential, and is destined to become a 'great' company, so he is ......not interested in cheap software at all."

"I remember how far he was going to spend billions of dollars to buy an online broadcaster with bad financial statements?"

I talked to him once, and he still insisted on his own judgment, he believes that the company must develop in an all-round way, otherwise the current great opportunity will be lost!"

"There is no stock that only rises and does not fall! When the harsh winter of the financial market comes, no one knows how long the harsh winter will last! Proper cash reserves are a necessary condition for surviving the harsh winter, and too smooth development will make self-confidence infinitely inflated, do you remember to pay attention to this plan, if Yang Wenyuan insists on getting it to the board of directors to discuss, we will vote against it! There is no room for negotiation, and there is no possibility of any compromise! He must abandon this acquisition!"

"Okay, I'll go to Sunnyvale and talk to him after I'm done investing in Google......"

Hanging up the phone, Fu Zhengyi glanced at the memorandum he had just drafted, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl.

The $50 million capital injection has acquired 40% of Google's shares, which is a bit expensive at its current valuation, but the acquisition of the lead voting rights and the setting of standards for the capital injection of Google must be a headache for those venture capital investors who are late to know......
