Chapter 116: Borrowing Money

The crooked lonely moon hung in the sky, and Jack Dorsey did not have the sigh that the moon was his hometown Ming, and at this time a thick shadow hung over his heart.

It has been two days since he came to Huaxia, and just this afternoon he chatted with the chief technology officer of Mortal, only to know that just a few days ago, Lin Fan had just injected more than eight million US dollars into the company, and he instantly understood something. Previously, Lin Fan had just injected $10 million into YouTube in the United States, and spent another $8 million in the blink of an eye, which means that Lin Fan probably has no funds in his hands.

Jack suddenly felt a sense of frustration now, could it be that God really didn't let him succeed? Finally, someone expressed his willingness to invest in Twitter, but he had no money. He regretted it very much, if he had come to Huaxia earlier, maybe he would have signed a letter of intent to invest. However, there was still a faint glimmer of hope in his heart, Lin Fan did not explicitly reject him, maybe Lin Fan still had funds in his hands.

Even if it's a million dollars, Twitter will be enough to continue to grow and hold on for a long time, and if it doesn't, he will have to give up some of his shares and let his partner Evan Williams invest, but that's just a drop in the bucket. He would also lose his leadership of the company, and of course the most important thing is that Twitter was almost entirely developed by him, and he felt that Twitter would probably be out of course without him.

At this time, Lin Fan was in a good mood, although he postponed his trip to Shencheng. Ignoring Jack was done on purpose, and although he admired Jack very much, he was now talking about business, and it was necessary for him to use some means to obtain greater benefits for himself.

Lin Fan is not worried that Jack will leave because of the cold, as far as Lin Fan knows, in his previous life, Twitter did not receive less than five million investments until 07, which also means that Twitter has not been cared for for more than a year after its establishment.

And Twitter received 15 million investment in 08, with a valuation of 80 million. At the rate of expansion of Internet companies, Twitter may not be worth 10 million at this time, after all, Twitter has only been created for a few months. This also means that Lin Fan may be able to obtain an absolute controlling stake in Twitter for $10 million, which of course requires Mark's consent. And this is obviously impossible, Lin Fan naturally has to use some small means.

However, before that, Lin Fan still needs to go to Baidu, in order to solve the financial problem, he needs to mortgage Baidu shares to obtain a bank loan, and he must be agreed by Robin Li to trade equity.

After Baidu went public last year, Baidu, which has received sufficient funds, has developed by leaps and bounds, and now has a trend of surpassing old giants such as NetEase.

The front desk called Robin Li, and Lin Fan went straight to Robin Li's office, how to say, he had been working here for a few months.

"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for so long, you seem to be handsome again. ”

"You're still so out of tune. Robin Li was also in a very good mood, and the two of them came to visit and meet Lin Fan during the Spring Festival, and it was more than two months, "But you came just in time, after the development of Baidu Library, you patted your ass and left, and this time it was just for the project team to guide and guide." ”

"Mr. Li, dare to love me and I'm here to catch a strong man for you again? Every time I come to you, this is the routine, won't your conscience hurt?"

"Conscience, don't you know that everyone who does business is black-hearted?" said Robin Li.

Lin Fan was absolutely down, it seemed that he had just started on this shameless road.

"Okay, let's joke about it, tell me what you are doing here, you have always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. ”

"Mr. Li, I'll be embarrassed if you say it so bluntly. ”

Robin Li drank tea by himself, didn't look at Lin Fan's face at all, and joked, I don't know what kind of goods you kid have? Would you be embarrassed if you dared to ask me for shares in Baidu when you were eighteen years old doing business?

"OK, Mr. Li, I do have something to come to you. Lin Fan smiled brightly.

"Okay, you can put your smile away, I have a feeling that I'm about to suffer. ”

"Okay, let's be serious, Mr. Li, I want to mortgage my shares in Baidu to the bank, which means that I need a sum of money. ”

Robin Li's expression was very calm, and he took another sip of tea, "Do you know how much one percent of the shares in your hands are worth now?"

"Huh?"

"Six million dollars!"

"Doesn't this mean that Baidu's market capitalization has reached $6 billion? Lin Fan is indeed sincerely congratulated that Baidu's market value has increased by two billion US dollars in such a short period of time.

"How much money do you need?"

"Ten million dollars. ”

"Do you have to use it?"

"Urgently needed. ”

Robin Li took out the checkbook from his hand, "You don't have to get this 10 million by mortgaging it to the bank, I can lend it to you." ”

"Mr. Li?"

"I won't collect the debt from you if I can't repay the money I borrowed, you can pay it back slowly. But the bank will take away your shares, and Baidu's shares will definitely become more and more valuable, so you don't want to lose them easily. "Robin Li said it slowly and logically, and the wind is light.

But Robin Li's words of love for his fists made his heart hot, and he didn't know what to say. He knew that there was certainly a reason why Robin Li valued him, but Robin Li didn't know that he had founded a mortal, but he still dared to borrow it, how much trust was this?

"Mr. Li, me?"

"Don't be a mother-in-law, this is not your character in the past, and I believe that you will never use it nonsense, there must be something real to do. ”

"Mr. Li, I don't want to refuse. A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth, "I'm just telling you that I've borrowed sixteen million dollars before you lend me money." ”

"Huh?" Robin Li was startled, but immediately reacted, "How can you borrow so much money?"

Lin Fan just figured it out in an instant, if the love of children is unacceptable, Robin Li will help him, and it will be a big deal to take him to fly in the future. "Mr. Li, I suggest that you can call Mr. Liu over and ask. ”

"Nationhood?"

.......

"You two are hiding it so well. Robin Li complained with a smile on his face, "But I didn't expect Xiaolin to make such a career." ”

Liu Jianguo laughed, "When I first knew, I had a similar reaction to Mr. Li, and Xiao Lin wanted to hide it from me before." ”

"I'm so good, what can I do? I'm afraid that people will know and beat me. ”

Robin Li's tone was quiet, "I want to hit you now!"

"Mr. Li, then please prepare 10 million US dollars, it is estimated that I will use it in the next few days. Saying this, Lin Fan took the opportunity to run out.

God loves to be jealous of talents, of course, if you have to die, you can't blame others, Lin Fan naturally wants to slip away.

"Kobayashi's future is extraordinary. Robin Li sighed leisurely, with both envy and regret on his face.

Thinking of Lin Fan's achievements, Liu Jianguo couldn't help but nodded......
