"I like your research results very much, let's start a company together, and I will give you 10% of the shares. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Originally-

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro were very excited about the Internet navigation service they had created, and they felt that they might be very lucky enough to get their first venture capital!

But Xu Cun only gave them two percent and ten percent of the shares, what is this, count the two of them working for Xu Cun?

Besides, how can there be such an investment in the limelight, the first round of investment will take 90% of the shares, and after the company really develops in the future, they may not even have 3% of the remaining shares, and it is not even 3% when two people add together!

Now Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro are just two computer students, how can they hide their true thoughts well?

And Xu Cun is an old fritter with sixty or seventy years of rich experience, how can he not see the true thoughts of Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro?

Xu Cun smiled: "What, do you think I give you less shares?"

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro did not squeak, and they acquiesced to Xu Cun's guess.

In this regard, Xu Cun didn't care, and said: "You think I give you less shares, that's because you don't know how much money I put in you, I believe that as long as you know how much money I invest in you, you will definitely not think that I give you less shares." ”

In the end, he was young and couldn't hold his breath, Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xu, how much money are you going to invest in us?"

Hearing this, Xu Cun stretched out a finger and said, "You can guess." ”

Seeing that Xu Cun stretched out a finger-

David Ferro guessed: "One million?" -- for Xu Cun, a million dollars is nothing, and the pocket money he gave to a woman for a year is far more than that, but for the vast majority of people, in 1994, one million dollars is definitely a huge amount of money, and the vast majority of companies in Silicon Valley cannot raise so much money in the first round of financing, unless it is a company with a particularly good prospect, and the company has promising products.

Yang Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, and then guessed: "It should be 10 million, right?" - Yang Zhiyuan guessed based on the fame and wealth that Xu Cun owned and Xu Cun only gave them ten percent of the equity. In addition, if Xu Cun is willing to contribute 10 million US dollars, it means that Xu Cun is very sincere, and he and David Ferro can also consider accepting Xu Cun's venture capital from them.

After David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan finished guessing, Xu Cuncai said, "One hundred million." ”

Xu Cun opened his mouth and invested 100 million, not only because Xu Cun was bound to Yahoo, but also because Yahoo was a money-burning gossip furnace at the beginning of its establishment. Whether it is a web portal, a search engine, or even a small mailbox, in the initial stage, it is extremely money-burning, especially in the case of wanting to quickly seize the market, in the last life, Yahoo went public two years later, and the total stock price on the first day of listing reached $500 million, while Yahoo's turnover in 1995 was only $1.3 million, and it was not until the end of 1996 that it made a mere $90,000.

"100 million!"

Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro's pupils all shrank suddenly!

Soon, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro's smart brains began to spin rapidly, "Ten percent of 100 million is 10 million, and half of 10 million is five million, oh my God, I'm a millionaire, and I'm still five millionaires!"

After a while, David Ferro cautiously asked, "Mr. Xu, are you talking about US dollars?"

No wonder David Ferro asked, Xu Cun is a native of Xiangjiang, naturally he is used to measuring in Hong Kong dollars, if it is not US dollars but Hong Kong dollars, there is a big gap of more than 80 million US dollars, in addition, if Xu Cun said Hong Kong dollars, they can accept it, but if Xu Cun said Japanese yen, then they are empty joy!

Under the nervous gaze of David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan, Xu Cun smiled and said, "Of course, this is the United States, how can I say other currencies?"

After receiving Xu Cun's confirmation, David Ferro directly clenched his fists and swung them violently, and then said excitedly: "Oh, yes!"

Yang Zhiyuan is not much stronger than David Ferro, he is also clenched his fists and excited!

After Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro digested what Xu Cun said, Xu Cun said again: "Then I should have no problem with the two of you to start a company, right?"

How could there be a problem with spending 100 million US dollars at one time to smash two scholars who had just walked out of the campus to learn computers, not to mention, Xu Cun made a lot of revolutionary suggestions to Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, so that Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro regarded Xu Cun as a celestial!

In fact,

In the construction of Yahoo, Xu Cun did put a lot of effort into it - for half a month, Xu Cun ran to Silicon Valley every day, it can be said that in the construction process of Yahoo, Xu Cun not only paid money, but also really put his heart into it.

In contrast, in terms of Netscape, Xu Cun really didn't bother much - except for meeting Mark Anderson and Jim Clark on the first day, Xu Cun only met them once when he signed the contract, and the contract was signed in Neverland.

In addition to Yahoo and Netscape, Xu actually acquired a company, a game company, Blizzard, during this time.

Three years ago, three UCLA graduates, Mike Mowymi, Alan Adhan, and Frank Pearce, met because of a coincidental computer password JOE (stranger).

After graduating, the trio co-founded Silicon & Neural Bonds.

In the early ninety-one years of the company's existence, Silicon & Neural Bonds spent $40,000 in development funds and four months to develop a game called RPM Racing.

A year after the release of RPM Racing, Silicon & Neural Bonds launched the first major production released on the Super Throne platform, The Lost Vikings.

Superman: Desperate Encounter, which landed on SFC this year, was the first game to be released under the Blizzard name.

The current Blizzard is not the world's leading game company that has developed games such as Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo series, Overwatch, Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, etc., but just a small company with several mini-games.

Therefore, Xu Cun only spent $2.8 million to take 49 percent of Blizzard's equity.

At the beginning of February, after handling the affairs of Yahoo, Netscape, and Blizzard, Xu Cuncai returned to Xiangjiang with his daughters to prepare for the New Year.
