"Carl is really too deceitful!" Chen Shijun drank a glass of wine, indignant.

Lin Fan shrugged, "The means of doing things in large companies have always been like this, you talk to him about favors, and he only talks to you about interests." Liu Yifei has been arranged by Lin Fan to leave, and he has realized that it is very likely to be a perfect opportunity now.

"I work hard to run the company, but there are people who want to pick peaches easily, and I will never allow this to happen. ”

"And what do you want to do next?"

Chen Shijun's face suddenly straightened, "Mr. Lin, I need your help." ”

"As long as I can help, just ask. ”

"I'm ready to sell 15 percent of my shares for five million dollars. Speaking of this, Chen Shijun looked solemn, "Mr. Lin, I think YouTube is definitely worth the price, at present, most American video websites are cooperating with media companies, and they can't be civilian, while YouTube is providing a platform that can meet the performance needs of users, as long as he has a social circle, as long as he is eager to become famous and willing to share, YouTube is their only choice......."

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even if Chen Shijun was angry to death by that Karl, but the train of thought in his heart was not messed up, he knew that Chen Shijun was right, YouTube not only succeeded in history, but also provided a reference for many companies. Take China as an example, Youku's feature is that users can upload videos by themselves, and then Meipai seconds, which can share a few minutes of small videos, but it has been moved from the computer to the mobile terminal, all of which are undoubtedly not copies of YouTube.

"For four million dollars, I'm willing to buy 15 percent of YouTube. When he said this, Lin Fan was extremely serious, but only he knew that the current five million acquisition would be more than 200 million US dollars in real money by October, but he still had to lower the price, and he couldn't say that he was black-hearted, if he agreed directly, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, and it would seem that he had been planning for a long time.

Chen Shijun felt a pain in his heart, this price reduction was too ruthless, although four million US dollars was his psychological price, how could he not want the company's valuation to be higher?

"Four and a half million, Mr. Lin, my company is worth this price, a company with unlimited potential is placed in front of you, it will bring you ten times a hundred times the income. ”

Lin Fan glanced at Chen Shijun deeply, this glance made Chen Shijun embarrassed, only he knew that YouTube was basically still in money-losing mode, and the income was simply a distant thing.

But to Chen Shijun's surprise, Lin Fan actually nodded, "I agree." ”

"Ah?" Chen Shijun, who reacted, was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin." ”

Lin Fan waved his hand, "You don't need to thank me, my investment is essentially a business, it's good to make money, but losing money is also a problem with my vision, don't get involved in personal friendship, so as not to hurt my feelings." ”

Chen Shijun's face was straight, "What Mr. Lin said is that I have been taught, but should we sign the contract now?"

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was happy, it seemed that Chen Shijun was really angry with Carl, and he wanted to pretend to be slapped in the face so quickly. It's just that Lin Fan is still a little dissatisfied in his heart, according to the information released later in his previous life, Sequoia Capital holds a total of 8 million US dollars this time, and it is very likely that the shares held will exceed 30%.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and Lin Fan also took out the eight million dollars, and he also wanted to get more shares. However, Chen Shijun bluntly said before the start that he would only sell 15% of the shares, and Lin Fan did not want to speak rashly, only hoping that there would be any accidents when the board of directors was convened.

In the conference room, Chen Shijun confidently summoned the three members of the company's board of directors, Chad, Carl, and Judd came together, and when they saw Lin Fan smiling in the conference room, the expressions of the three were different.

Chen Shijun couldn't wait to announce, "I plan to sell 15 percent of the company's shares for $4.5 million." Chen Shijun is indeed very satisfied with this price, a few months ago Sequoia took 30 percent of the shares with 3 million, and now it has more than doubled.

But Carl's mood was not so good, his face was very stinky now, "Mr. Chen, you mean to give up Sequoia?"

"Why not? I think Mr. Lin is in a better position. Chen Shijun saw Carl's appearance, couldn't help but be full of happiness in his heart, he is twenty-nine years old this year, since junior high school and high school has been in a school for high-IQ people, after graduation to a number of technology companies, most of the companies are PayPal and other large companies, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is young and ambitious, but to accept Carl's bird spirit, how can he be comfortable in his heart?

Carl held back his anger, he knew that the company's board of directors treated YouTube positively, although this is a small company, but the company's executives regard it as the future Google, this is of course a gamble for the company, Sequoia won the bet in history, but now there is Lin Fan as a roadblock.

"Mr. Chen, Sequoia is willing to raise a million dollars and buy 40 percent of YouTube's shares for $8 million. Carl said word by word, less arrogant and more solemn, "I hope you will think about it." ”

However, Chen Shijun did not understand Carl's kindness, but thought that this Carl was really damned, and he actually underreported a million US dollars, even if he knew that the negotiation was like this, he must not expose all the hole cards at once.

"For the sake of the company's good shareholding structure, I will not agree to Sequoia's request for financing, sorry, Carl. After that, Chen Shijun looked at Lin Fan again, "Mr. Lin, I have asked people to draft a contract, and when we reach a preliminary intention, we can consider signing a contract." ”

"I don't have a problem. ”

"Mr. Chen?"

"Carl, you don't have to say any more. Chen Shijun directly interrupted Carl's words, "I repeat, the company will never agree to Sequoia's financing request!"

"Thirty-eight percent! We only need thirty-eight percent of the shares!"

"Impossible!"

Karl's face was distorted for a while, but he still insisted, "Thirty-seven percent of the shares, there must be no less!"

Chen Shijun still refused directly, but Chen Shijun's face was not as firm as just now, and he was a little shaken in his heart now, he understood Sequoia's intention to hold the company, but as long as Sequoia did not interfere with the management right, it was not unacceptable, as for Lin Fan, businessmen have always been profit-oriented, if Sequoia's conditions are really good, he doesn't mind saying sorry to Lin Fan.

"Thirty-six percent! That's the bottom line for Sequoia. ”

Chen Shijun still didn't speak, Carl gritted his teeth, and couldn't help glaring at Lin Fan in the corner, if it weren't for this person, how could Sequoia pay such a high price!"Thirty-five percent, there will be no possibility of any lower!"

Just as Chen Shijun was about to speak, Lin Fan finally spoke, "Ten million US dollars, thirty percent of the shares!"

"Mr. Lin, you're not kidding?"

Lin Fan smiled and said in Chinese, "I can't see the arrogant faces of foreigners, although it was my impulse just now, I am willing to pay for my impulse, 10 million, 30% of the shares, I can still afford this price." ”

Lin Fan's Chinese can only be understood by Chen Shijun, but if others can see something from Chen Shijun's expression, sure enough, Chen Shijun smiled, "Mr. Lin is willing to buy thirty percent of the shares with ten million dollars." "It's undoubtedly certain, Carl is dead, but he still wants to redeem something. "Mr. Lin, are you sure you're not impulsive?"

"In our Huaxia there is a saying that love is priceless, and I am willing to pay for my friendship with Mr. Chen. ”

Chen Shijun was stunned, he really couldn't think of Lin Fan's reason for raising the price, this seemed to be the only reason that could be explained, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Fan's gaze warmer........
