"It's still incredible when I think about it now. BOSS, how do you impress investors?" Ulysses asked in a dream, he didn't think about it for the past two days, and he had been pondering the gap between himself and Roy, but he wanted to break his head, and he didn't figure it out, and he really didn't understand why Roy was such a dick.

"Haha, in fact, limited by the conditions, I still use an incomplete version of the secret art, if I use the real mystery, it will be invincible in the capital market, sweeping everything. ”

"Wow!!" Lisas's eyes widened like pebbles, and the look in his eyes bloomed like fireworks, "BOSS, teach me, teach me." ”

Ahem...... Roy straightened his clothes and said seriously: "This is your boss's mastery at the bottom of the box, hehe, it's no good, do you want me to confess?" Ulysses, haven't you heard a sentence: The apprentice of the church starves the master?"

"BOSS, how can such an extraordinary and wise man as you be poor in donkey skills? Ulysse Baba looked into Roy's eyes, religiously like a fanatic.

"Don't ...... Don't be like that......" Roy was praised a little fluttery.

"BOSS, why don't you get another group of girls from the film school? ”

"Hey, I'm that kind of person. "Roy is embarrassed, why don't you open any pot and mention which pot, I am acting as a righteous man and a gentleman, if this kind of thing is heard by others, it will affect my career. However, he recalled the oral work of the two actors and girls at the last charity dinner, and he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

“…… BOSS, what do you want me to do?" Ulysses had no choice but to start pretending to be innocent.

"What do you say, it is simply an insult to my character that you negotiate terms for a man as upright as me. Roy said: "Listen, I'll just say it once, it's up to you how much you can comprehend." ”

“NICE。 Ulysses pricked up his ears and looked focused, and the pen and paper he had pulled out of somewhere were already in front of him.

"I declare in advance that this classic financing routine is not original to me, but a man named Elon Musk has used it maturely and carried forward. ”

"Elon Musk?"

He had just sold his map company to Compaq for $300 million. ”

"Fake! 300 million!"

"Well, but it doesn't matter...... The important thing is that this financing routine shines in his hands.

"This story template is a four-step process.

"The first step is to discover the problems of mankind; the second step is that the problems are so big that they must be stumbled; the third step is that the matter can be solved with high technology; and the fourth step is to invest, merge and acquire, establish companies, and raise funds to go public. ”

Historically, Elon Musk has been an extremely good storyteller. For example, his Tesla electric car, from 08 to the present, has been losing money year after year, and the production capacity is also doubtful, so it has all the way to the No. 1 car company in North America by market capitalization.

He will tell a lot of stories: the warming of the atmosphere caused by human transportation, so there are Tesla electric cars, the shortage of human energy has led to the creation of solar energy companies, the population pressure of human beings is too great, we have to immigrate to Mars, so there is rocket companies, and the traffic congestion of human beings has led to the hyperloop.

Musk relied on his iron mouth, empty gloves and white wolves, and attracted countless investments without a penny, established so many companies, and his personal net worth rose like a rocket. (Appendix 1)

However, this just shows that Musk is also super strong in other aspects, and just managing so many companies has exploded.

– although none of the companies he runs have yet to become profitable.

And when Roy was pulling investment for Red Coral, he also used Musk's routine: 1. Throw out the problem, 2. The problem is very big and must be solved, 3. It can be solved by doing so, 4. Establish a company and raise funds to go public.

If he has the influence, speaks out through the media in advance, and has another debate with other voices in society, then the effect of financing will be doubled.

Ulysses pondered Roy's words as if he had understood.

Roy said: "Young man, don't worry, you still have a lot to learn." Hehe, the next thing is the real big show, which is to attack BesTV and eat away at this giant one by one. ”

"So what do we do now?" Ulysses' blood boiled, killing his opponent, what an exciting word.

Roy picked up a videotape he had rented from BesTV and said with a smile, "Go and return this first." ”

Debra's head was leaned towards Jamie, and her eyes looked around cautiously, as if she was afraid that her earth-shattering secret would be eavesdropped.

"Jamie, how's it going?

"Right now. Jamie wondered, "Why are you secretly calculating the value of your boss?"

"Curious...... It's really just curiosity, aren't you curious?"

"Hehe, I'm curious what's the use, anyway, it's not mine, it's you, did the boss promise you something?"

Debra pouted: "If it is, it would be good, you may not believe it if you say it, my salary is not as high as yours, not to mention any options and bonuses, I once heard Rex say, it is only the leadership, how can we shrimp soldiers and crab generals have such a good life." ”

"Yes, indeed. Jamie was also envious: "It would be nice if I could also get into the management myself." ”

"Oh, don't sigh, do the math, let me see how much money that stingy guy has. ”

Jamie pushed a piece of paper to Debra's eyes and explained, "According to the equity report you provided, before the Series A round, Roy held 65% of the company's shares, excluding the 8% option of Commitment Gary, and the 2% option of management, then Roy has 55% of the shares.

"The A round of financing is 40 million, and the valuation of Red Coral after financing is 200 million US dollars, and after the dilution of equity after financing, Roy now holds 44% of the shares, with a valuation of 88 million US dollars!"

"Eighty-eight million !!" Debra almost shouted, she counted on ten fingers, dizzy and still unable to describe the shock in her heart, how much this TMD must be.

Jamie also sighed with envy and hatred: "Yes, if the company develops well, this valuation will continue to rise, and the company will also rise once when it goes public, and if the company is profitable, there will be shareholder dividends every year...... In short, this is a number that we will not earn in this life, even in the next. ”

Debra threw a confused thought, "If my monthly salary is 4,000 yuan, how many years can I earn so much without eating or drinking?"

Jamie took out the computer and divided it by multiplication, and the result was in front of Debra's eyes.

"One thousand eight hundred and thirty-three years!! and that's not counting inflation. ”

Debra clutched her heart and collapsed in her chair, staring at the ceiling above her head in a daze, her soul out of her body.

Jamie took a step closer to Debra, clasping her hand tightly, his eyes looking up and down.

[PS] Appendix 1: Elon Musk is a business tycoon I greatly admire. He is a man who uses his power in the cold capital market.

I'll give you an example:

Regarding artificial intelligence, there are those who oppose it, and there are those who support it.

Among the opponents, three of the most famous are physicist Stephen Hawking, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Truss's boss Elon Musk. Among them, Musk's attitude is the most intense, and he has publicly expressed his opposition the most.

On July 15, 2017, he gave a speech at the National Governors' Conference in the United States, in which he compared car accidents, plane crashes, drug epidemics and food problems to artificial intelligence. The conclusion is that these things do not pose a fundamental threat to human civilization at least, but artificial intelligence is a fundamental danger to the existence of human civilization.

He also listed the potential "four major crimes" of artificial intelligence: stealing jobs, causing social crises, manipulating information, and triggering wars.

So the question is, why is he calling for opposition to artificial intelligence?

There is a school of thought that this is Musk's scheme.

At the end of 2015, Musk founded the artificial intelligence company OpenAI, which said that its mission is to control artificial intelligence, not to let it be a disaster for the world, and its achievements must be open and shared.

It sounds like a breath of fresh air in the industry. Other people's homes are insecure AI, only theirs are safe AI. Anyway, as a result of more than a year of rapid development, this company has become a significant player in the field of artificial intelligence. Musk, who is strongly opposed to artificial intelligence, is now a vested interest in artificial intelligence.

He has the accumulation of talents in this area, as well as the precipitation of platform technology, and he has also pried a crack in the industry controlled by giant companies such as Google and Facebook, and sat on the table of the game.
