Parking lot......

Larry Page, Sergei Brin's eyes were full of anger, staring at the young man in front of him who had just come down from business, and was younger than them Chinese......

It's despicable!

The moment they received the lawyer's letter, both of them were furious, but when the two of them calmed down and received several calls from venture capitalists, they could be considered to reflect why this Chinese would send a lawyer's letter at this time, and the timing was too accurate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

All of Silicon Valley knows that the much-sought-after Google is now a critical time to negotiate financing.

But at this time, if Google's underlying PR algorithm is sued for patent infringement, as long as the case is not closed for one day, this lawsuit will be a time bomb on Google's head!

In the face of these investors, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are completely unable to prove themselves, because compared to ordinary companies, the investor's discipline is more unbelievable.

However, the reason why the patent of the PR algorithm is stuck is because of the similarities with the patent for hyperchain analysis, so as long as this lawsuit starts, it will definitely seriously affect the confidence of investors......

Now, the other party just sent a lawyer's letter, and the matter has not yet been exposed, if negative news suddenly breaks out at this time, Google's door will immediately change from a crowd to a door, that is, I really want to invest in Google's venture capital, I am afraid that I will almost wake up from a dream, and I am absolutely happy to see it.

Before investing, the other party has such a big mistake, which is definitely a good opportunity to reduce the price!

Looking at Page, the anger on Brin's face, Yang Fan couldn't help but show a smile, this was the first time he really went toe-to-toe with the giants of later generations, and he also had the upper hand, directly forcing them to sit at the negotiating table.

It's cool!

Similarly, Yang Fan thought that his smile at this time must be very handsome......

Lin Yao, who was acting as an assistant next to him, also thought so now.

But in the eyes of Page and Brin, Yang Fan's smile at this time was the ridicule of the victor and the smile of the devil......

Evil!

Treacherous!

In short, the two of them have one idea now, and they shot the bastard in front of them!

It's a pity that they don't dare, can't, not only can't, but also negotiate with this shameless guy at the negotiating table......

Putting away his smile, Yang Fan stretched out his right hand to the two of them, and said sincerely, "Mr. Page, Mr. Brin, hello, I have heard of your name in China for a long time, and I have wanted to cooperate with you for a long time!" ”

Wang Tianze hurriedly translated beside him......

Liu Qingfeng, "......"

James, "......"

Lawyer's letter, this is really a chic way of trying to cooperate.

After listening to Wang Tianze's translated words, Page and Brin looked at Yang Fan even more unkindly.

Hypocrisy!

Is sending a lawyer's letter the way you Chinese choose to cooperate?

Seeing that the two did not mean to shake hands with him, Yang Fan shrugged, there was no displeasure on his face, withdrew his outstretched hand, and took the lead in walking towards the investment building.

The victor must have the demeanor of a winner!

The place of negotiation is in the investment building at 3,000 Shashan Road next to Stanford, which is arguably the largest concentration of venture capital in the world, gathering many big-name venture capital firms, including Sequoia Capital, and James also has his own office here.

Again, it's not far from Google's later office building.

Whether they wanted to or not, the group still followed Yang Fan's footsteps into the investment building.

In the conference room, the Google side represented by Page and Brin sat down on either side of the long conference table with Yang Fan, Liu Qingfeng, and James.

Until they sat down at the conference table, Page and Brin still looked at Yang Fan with unkind faces......

Young after all!

However, Yang Fan, who was opposite the two, had a feeling that was completely out of step with his age.

After sitting firmly, Yang Fan did not greet politely, and simply asked neatly, "Can you ask you how many shares Google is going to take out in this round of financing?" ”

Hearing this, Page looked uncooperative, and said coldly, "This is our Google trade secret!" ”

Seeing Page's uncooperative attitude, Yang Fan hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth!

This sentence is just a question.

Google's funding was no secret to later generations, as they should have succeeded in getting $25 million in venture capital from venture capitals Sequoia Capital and KPCB earlier, at the cost of two venture capitalists each owning 10 percent of Google's shares.

This also means that Google, a company founded less than a year ago, is valued at 125 million.

I have to say that the market value of Internet companies is rising fast!

Now Google's funding has been delayed a bit, and its valuation has reached $150 million...... But now the closest to Google is still Sequoia Capital and KPCB!

Speaking of which, this delay is also due to the fact that Larry Page and Sergei are more ambitious, they have already negotiated an investment agreement with Sequoia Capital, but Page later deliberately pulled KPCB in and let the two venture capital companies fight in the ring, so as to improve their status. Later, when the agreement with the two venture capitalists was about to be reached, a third investment company suddenly appeared......

This, in turn, delayed the negotiations......

Thinking of this, Yang Fan smiled slightly, "Your attitude is not suitable for cooperation!" ”

Hearing this, Brin immediately said coldly, "We at Google have never lacked collaborators!" Also, don't say that our attitude is not suitable for cooperation, and your attitude is not suitable for cooperation from the beginning......"

In his twenties, even if he was one of the giants of later generations, it was the time when his temper was hot, and he began to choke before he even started to negotiate!

In fact, after the two calmed down, they understood the purpose of Yang Fan's lawyer's letter.

Of course, they don't mind pulling Yang Fan in the ring, and they haven't done anything before to pull KPCB in to fight with Sequoia Capital, which is not a big deal.

It's just that now they are forced to the negotiating table by Yang Fan, which makes them inevitably angry with the recent spring breeze.

Speaking of which, everyone knows each other. Yang Fan naturally also knows about Paige, Brin's urine!

When he saw Page and Brin surrounded by a bunch of investors at the party before, the reason why Yang Fan felt hopeless was that he didn't want to participate in it and become a tool for the two to speculate on Google's valuation. Anyway, in the end, I will definitely be kicked out. After all, his power in Silicon Valley is far worse than that of veteran venture capitalists such as Sequoia Capital and KPCB.

But then it was an unexpected joy to meet Li Hongyan.

It was only then that Yang Fan had the idea of a part of Google's equity.

Yang Fan, who had a plan in his heart, sat down at the negotiation table and shook his head, ignoring Brin's choking, and directly quoted, "Twenty million US dollars, fifteen percent ......"

Hearing this number, Page, who had regained his composure while sitting at the negotiating table, immediately showed a sneer, "This is impossible!" ”

Page's ridicule is to ridicule Yang Fan's whimsy, that is, Sequoia Capital and KPCB, which have more resources, are now more than this offer! You are a Chinese, you have no power in Silicon Valley, and you joined in later, why ask for such a low price?

Patent threat?

It was Sequoia Capital and KPCB who knew about the patent, which made them have some scruples, but Page still believed that he could convince them to accept the price, after all, he had already persuaded KPCB once.

After knocking his hand on the table and thinking about it, Yang Fan decided not to entangle with them too much, and simply quoted a psychological price, "Two thousand two and a half million, fifteen percent!" ”

This offer is also an admission of Google's self-valuation of 150 million!

It is equivalent to the same quotation as Sequoia Capital and KPCB......

But this did not satisfy Page's request at all, so he simply said, "It's still impossible!" ”

Seeing that Page still agreed, Yang Fan shook his head, "Then there's nothing to talk about!" ”

As he spoke, Yang Fan simply stood up from the negotiation table.

Seeing Yang Fan stand up directly, Liu Qingfeng, who had not spoken, James was stunned for a moment at the same time, not understanding what Yang Fan was thinking at all.

That's not what the negotiations talk about, right?

They often encounter a negotiation that drags on for several months, and they don't understand it at all, and Yang Fan wants to flip the table when he doesn't agree......

Where did the confidence come from?

To be honest, the two had no hope of joining Google's financing before, because it was the food of giant crocodiles such as Sequoia Capital and KPCB.

It was only Yang Fan's previous assurances that gave them hope, but the two of them didn't know what Yang Fan was planning to do. It's just that they said before, everything is up to Yang Fan today, so even if the talks are falling apart now, they can only follow Yang Fan's footsteps and stand up......

After standing up, Yang Fan looked at Paige and Brin on the opposite side and said, "Today, both Sequoia and KPCB will be notified!" ”

That's the threat......

Paige and Brin's faces suddenly showed anger again!

Yang Fan continued to ignore this, "In addition, the news media will be notified......

Hearing the translator's words, Page and Brin stood up at the same time and looked at Yang Fan coldly, if the news media were really notified, whether it was true or not, this would be a scandal for Google!

Google is in a patent crisis!

Google's foundation is shaky!

Google is a line between life and death!

Needless to say, both men knew that a similar headline would surely appear in the newspapers tomorrow.

"You threaten us?" Page said word for word.

"Threat?" Repeating Page's words, Yang Fan suddenly laughed, then turned to Liu Qingfeng and said, "Contact Li Hongyan ......"

As he spoke, Yang Fan suddenly turned his head and said to Page and Brin, "By the way, does your PR system divide web pages into 11 levels from low to high according to the number and quality of external links?" ”

After Wang Tianze's translation, Page and Brin were immediately stunned!

Compared to what I just said......

That's the real threat! (To be continued.) )
