Chapter 19 Investment

After returning to New York, both of them were too tired to do it, they went back to the dormitory and fell asleep directly, and rested for a night before they eased up, not only physically tired, but also mentally tense, for fear that the bet would fail, so that there was really nothing, and they owed a lot of foreign debts, and at the same time the mental pressure was relieved, they were one step closer to their future dreams, but only this was far from satisfying Kim Do-jun, and he slowly fell asleep while thinking, and this sleep was extraordinarily sweet.

Early the next morning, Kim Daojun went directly to Uncle Mustache, paid off the 500,000 yuan he borrowed, and bought some gifts for Uncle Mustache, and told Uncle Mustache that he might not come to work again in the future, because he was about to enter the senior year, and he should devote his mind to studying, and the pressure of the American-style college entrance examination was also very great.

After Uncle Mustache heard this, although he was uncomfortable, after all, he could understand Daojun's thoughts, and the two hugged each other and cherished goodbye, and agreed that as long as they had time in the future, they would come over to eat and chat.

"Uncle Li, goodbye, take care." Outside the door of the Chinese restaurant, after hugging each other with Uncle Mustache, Uncle Li sent Daojun away, reluctant to look, Daojun turned around and said, bent down and made a ninety-degree bow, it took a long time to slowly straighten up, the corners of the eyes have gradually moistened, after a few years of getting along, the relationship between the two people has been very harmonious, and suddenly one day to tell himself that he will not come to work again in the future, and he will feel a little bit in his heart if he is any person. Everyone has feelings, but the depth of feelings is different.

Kim Do-joon rode his bicycle back to the dormitory, and he looked a little sluggish along the way, and it seemed that his mood had also been affected, and his interest was not high, and he didn't have the usual playful appearance.

"Daojun, you're back, everything is done." Han Sung-ho sat naked and watched TV on the bed in his underwear. Just got a million dollars, which is an unimaginable amount for him, and suddenly his mentality is out of balance, and he is ready to buy a good car immediately as his means of transportation, but fortunately he was taught a lesson by Kim Dojun: "Is your ambition so much?" ”

Kim Do-jun said speechlessly, thinking that he could still have much ambition, but he didn't expect that he had just a million dollars and started to enjoy himself.

In the end, after being taught a lesson by Kim Do-joon, he finally returned to normal and began to live the same life as before.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, this is an old Chinese saying, which is tried everywhere and will never go out of style.

"Brother Cheng Hao, let's start preparing in the afternoon, get a good understanding of some of the company's information, let's divide labor and cooperate, I am responsible for some decision-making, you help me find some companies with relatively low stock prices, list a list for me, mark their respective fields, we should also start to do some practical things, just rely on gambling These are not visible, and it is not a good thing for future development. After saying that, he threw a T-shirt for him to put on, and motioned for him to get up quickly.

"Yes, my young master Jin, I'll go wash up right away, and start work as soon as I finish eating, by the way, you can help me order a lunch, you pay." Han Chenghao said jokingly while putting on his clothes.

Kim Do-joon took out his wallet from the pocket of his pants, took out a card and threw it on the bed and said; "In the future, you will be my housekeeper, responsible for all my food, clothing, housing and transportation, the cost is in this card, not enough to tell me, keep your own money, save a little more, I will pay your salary, you can rest assured that it is very rich." After saying that, he blinked, like a demon teasing.

Han Chenghao twitched the corners of his mouth, and spit out for a long time: "Yes, my Young Master Jin." "Get out of bed and clean up.

In the afternoon, the two of them didn't communicate much, Han Chenghao sat in front of the computer, constantly searching for information, while constantly gesturing with a pen, while Jin Daojun would stand at the window and look into the distance, and he would stand behind Han Chenghao for a while and didn't know what he was doing, sometimes his eyes suddenly opened and closed slightly, or he lay directly on the bed, and his mouth kept muttering.

"Daojun, you see that I have sorted out about fifteen companies in total, you can come and take a look." He handed the copied form to Kim Do-joon.

Jin Daojun looked at the list on the form, swept it from top to bottom, suddenly paused for a while, and said slightly: "Brother Cheng Hao, help me check this company called Google, I want to know all the news about it, the current situation, and all the information of their boss." When Kim Do-joon saw it, he immediately said.

"Oh, this company, it seems to have been created in 1998, I heard that it was still two college students, okay, I know I'll start it right away." After saying that, he turned his head and immediately began to search for information.

Google was founded by the founders Larry Page and Brin in the student dormitory of Stanford University in the United States, and then quickly spread to the world, becoming a global information searcher, and the world has also entered the search era, Google was also founded in 1998 in Mountain View, California, USA in the form of a private joint-stock company, Larry Page, Brin, Schmidt is known as the three carriages of Google, and Schmidt currently serves as the company's chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer.

Han Chenghao sorted out the collected information and reported it at the same time.

"Brother Cheng Hao, Google hasn't been listed yet, right?" After hearing this, Kim Do-joon immediately asked.

"From the current situation is not, in terms of the market outlook, it is not very promising, and the profit outlook is not particularly clear, and the company has just received a $25 million injection from Sequoia Capital and KPCB venture capital funds, successfully obtaining five percent of the company's shares, and there is now news that Google is ready to acquire Pyra Labs.

"Brother Cheng Hao, can you help me contact the boss of this company? I'd like to talk to him about a business, maybe he'll be interested. ”

Kim Do-joon said with a smile as he touched his temples and rubbed them gently.

Five days later

"Mr. Larry Page, I hope we can have a good time working together." Kim Do-joon shook hands with the white man next to him, still holding the document he had just signed.

"Me too, by the way, can I call you Jason? To be honest, I'm not used to Korean names, and I don't know how to pronounce them yet, so I feel a little awkward. Larry Page said with a hint of a smile.

"Of course, no problem, if nothing happens, then I'll go first." Kim Do-joon said as he prepared to say goodbye, since the goal has been achieved, there is no point in staying here, after all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

"Okay, hopefully the next time we meet, our company will be listed on the NASDAQ." Larry Page deliberately highlighted us, just to let Kim Do-jun know that they are a carriage of people, only by building the carriage together, the carriage can run fast and steady, and the company is the same, if the shareholders are inconsistent, in one direction, blindly intrigued, fighting for power, then the company's development cannot be so rapid. In this way, Kim Do-joon left Google's headquarters in California with Han Sung-ho.

As soon as he got in the car, Han Chenghao asked anxiously: "Daojun, is it too risky to do this this time, 60 million US dollars, only 25% of the shares, isn't it a network bubble now?" Isn't this too fast, at least 40 percent of the shares have to be strife, you look at their company only 250 people, a year profit is only 6.99 million US dollars, not even a fraction of us, this is really a loss. ”

"Brother Cheng Hao, do you think I don't want to? But they will not agree, 40 percent of the shares are too much, and they will not give up their absolute controlling position, even these 25 percent is also the result of two days of negotiation, and they do not ask for a controlling stake. Kim Do-jun explained and analyzed to Han Chenghao, and secretly figured out in his heart that now he has completely regarded Han Chenghao as his own person, so he let him participate in these things, which is also the experience of Han Chenghao.

Although he spent 60 million US dollars and only obtained 25 percent of the shares, but for him, he already felt very satisfied, this transaction was very cost-effective, even if he wanted to get more shares, it was impossible, Sequoia Capital and KPCB, two top venture capital companies in the United States, injected 25 million US dollars to get 5% of the shares, compared to himself, he still took a big advantage, but this cheap also paid the price, not only did not participate in the daily operation and management of the company, The appointment of personnel and a series of future policies and decisions should belong to their own rights, and their shares will also be entrusted to Larry Page and Brin for joint escrow, so as to enhance the voice of the two on the board of directors, so as to ensure that the company's management and future development direction are firmly grasped in their own hands.

When he heard the news, he objected for the first time, because it would greatly weaken his right to speak, and finally the two compromised with each other, Kim Dojun agreed to Larry Page and Brin's conditions, and at the same time they could also sign a confidentiality agreement, not to deal with it publicly, requiring the two to abide by their own identities and code their own processing, and at the same time, the company's future listing and issuance of shares, mergers and acquisitions will not affect their shares, and will not participate in equity dilution.

Larry Page and Brin were also very satisfied with the proposal, and in the end, the three of them signed an agreement in friendly negotiations, and in this way, Kim Do-joon successfully owned 25% of Google's shares, which was also the first business investment in his life.

After returning to New York, Kim Do-jun and Han Sung-ho immediately set up a second company of their own in the building next to Broadway in Times Square, Manhattan, New York, KDJ Venture Capital Company, although it is just a shell company, a small company, just Kim Do-jun and Han Sung-ho, but the butterfly's wings have been flapped, and it will become a big tornado.
