The company founded by these two people is also engaged in the Internet, and its name is Google.

This company has only been established for a short time and has not yet made much of a name for itself, but the search engine website they launched has indeed been extremely popular on the Internet for a period of time.

For the consortium that wants to participate in investing in this company, there are countless funds, and now the concept of American technology stocks and Internet stocks is noisy in the world, many people rely on investing in Internet stocks and technology stocks to make a fortune, I don't know how many people have changed from a poor student to a million, tens of millions, or even billionaires overnight.

So, for investing in this, the interest is very large.

It's the same with Google.

Since it's hot, Larry. Paige with Sergey. The Brin couple weren't in a hurry, and now it was their turn to choose the investors, not the investors to choose them.

Of course, according to the agreement of the first investment, in the second round of investment, the first round of investment is eligible to add their own investment in the share expansion to ensure that their shares are not diluted, of course, if you want to ensure that your shares are not diluted by the share expansion, a large amount of investment is naturally essential.

It's not Jester who took the initiative to find Larry this time. Page, the two founders of Google, ate and discussed.

Instead, the two of them took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to talk about the second round of investment, because Jester was the largest shareholder of Google's investment for the first time, and Jester sold very generously, with a $30 million investment, and got 35% of Google's shares, which was indeed extremely high, but no one else could compare with Jester's price at that time.

Although a little reluctant, but Larry. Page and Sergey. After much deliberation, Brin agreed to Jester's investment.

Because in their opinion, this can be diluted by relying on the next few rounds of financing, which is also a matter of no way. After all, if one person controls too many shares, it will be too dangerous for the two of them to be the founders in the future.

The example of Jobs is placed there.

When Steve Jobs started Apple, he was not prestigious, but he didn't agree with investors, and he could still be kicked out by the company he created, which is also the thing that all those who do in this area of technology companies are most worried about.

Now, of course, Jobs, with Jester's help, is back in power at Apple. And Jester, as the first director of Apple, did not interfere with Jobs, of course, in the hands of Jobs, Apple's performance has improved significantly in recent years, and even relied on the strong performance of MP3, with the momentum of returning to the peak of the year, which really surprised everyone.

According to the original plan, this matter was difficult to negotiate.

Jester is rich, very rich. In Larry. Page and Sergey. Brin knows this.

Needless to say, a hundred million dollars, even a billion dollars, is nothing to Jester, after all, he has been in contact with Jester for so long. As their investor, Larry. Naturally, the two Paiges will investigate Jester's background.

And the results of the investigation are shocking.

Admittedly, Jester is best known for being the founder and chairman of Mars Entertainment. Of course, not long ago, Jester resigned from his position as chairman. Taken over by his wife, this was his original identity, but this identity brought him only fame, and the vast majority of his wealth did not come from games.

Mars Entertainment's profitability is very prominent, but the proportion of Jester's wealth may not be one-tenth.

Needless to say, the part of Citigroup's shares he obtained after the merger of Traveler Group and Citibank, and the annual dividends he owned, are not comparable to Mars Entertainment.

Not to mention the power that comes with this part of the shares.

That's Citibank, one of the most powerful financial predators on the entire Wall Street, and the power he represents is naturally earth-shattering, not trivial, at least the two of them, they don't dare to imagine how much energy Jester has.

Just knowing that is enough for Larry. Page and Sergey. The two Brin were terrified.

What's more, it's still not all of his inheritance.

Jester knows how to invest in a wide range of projects, companies, and industries all over the world, including Japan, South Korea, Z, and even the Middle East, Australia, South America, and Europe.

The investment projects are also varied and strange, from retail, hospitality, high-tech industry, traditional industries and even minerals are within the scope of his investment.

It is said that even after the recent Asian financial crisis, the Samsung Group, which has developed extremely rapidly and has become the largest chaebol in South Korea, has a large investment in Jester, and even Jester has a pivotal position in it.

And recently these two people heard the news.

It is Jester Holdings, a well-known registered wealth management fund under the name of Jester, that has officially submitted a letter of intent to bid for Vale, which will be a bid plan of more than $3 billion.

You know, during this time, Brazil was undergoing internal reforms, one of the core of which was the privatization of state-owned assets.

Although Brazil's economy is now collapsing, inflation ~ has swelled to an incredible extent.

But their domestic domestic enterprises, there are still a few very eye-catching, including Vale, after all, this is the world's top three, even the top two, the first ore company, with the world's largest iron ore mines, of course, now iron ore is not too valuable, and because of this, Vale is not the most eye-catching privatization reform in Brazil.

The most eye-catching is Petrobras!

Of course, there are many people who are interested in the largest oil company in South America, and those oil giants are sharpening their knives, and Jester has considered it before, but then the heads of the consortium behind the oil companies such as Total and Shell have met with Jester, and they hope that Jester will not participate in this bid.

As long as Jester agrees to their request, then they can help Jester win other bids that interest him.

Jester is not a person who likes to grudge with others, his investment goal is only to make money, and he himself does not have much investment in oil, plus Samsung, who wanted him to do this before, also agreed to cooperate with Total to bid, so Jester, who has no desire, agreed with the other party's opinion and set his goal on Vale.

Vale now has iron ore that is indeed not very valuable, but. You know, the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is about to start the most rapid development of the golden decade, and then the price of iron ore will rise sharply.

Jester is very clear about this period of history, how the three major ores joined forces to manipulate iron ore, and he also knows a thing or two about how Baosteel reached a long-term contract with Nippon Steel and POSCO.

Because of this incident, other domestic steel companies scolded Baosteel as a traitor and traitor.

However, Jester didn't care much about these things, he just needed to know that he could make a lot of money in the future by buying more than 30 percent of the shares that Vale had put up for auction this time.

And it's basically no secret that the price of some Vale shares is cheap, and the Brazilian government can't make a profit.

Three billion dollars!

For two people, this is simply a number that they can't even imagine.

This is not a so-called stock, but a real three billion dollars!

This time Larry. Page and Sergey. Bryn said he was going to California to meet Jester in person. However, after they informed Jester, Jester said that they were going to New York once during this time, so they might as well meet in New York if it was convenient.

During this time, the two founders of Google were also in New York for the second round of financing, so there was a meeting this time.

It's not that Jester wants to go to New York to hang out with his wife, to be honest, for WOW. Jester didn't have that much time to play around during this time, and even the original plan to go to his own island in Australia for Christmas with Claudia to rest was put on hold for the time being, but Claudia also understood his current work.

Just because Citibank's annual annual meeting of shareholders is held on these days, as one of the big directors of Citibank. Jester was of course going to be there for this meeting.

Jester sipped his coffee as he listened to Google's two founders plead with them.

The thing they pleaded for was simple.

That is to hope that Jester can reduce his shareholding in the second round of financing, in other words, that is, he hopes that Jester will not raise according to the proportion of the second round of financing. Of course, financing according to one's own shares is a power that Jester has, and no one can stop it. That's why we have Larry. Page and Sergey. Bryn's request.

The two men always had a smile on their faces when they heard Jester say, and one Jester would agree to their request.

But wait until they're done.

Jester's first words whitewashed their wishful thinking.

"I don't agree."

Jester's words were categorical, and even after a slight pause, Jester continued: "Both, I am very optimistic about your company, I think your company has the ability to create the future. ”

Jester's words are not too high.

Larry. Page and Sergey. Brin's expectations for Google may not be so high, but the thing they are most worried about is that one person controls too many shares, and in the end, the company they created single-handedly is not theirs in the end, and even throws themselves out, which is the saddest thing.

"I know what you're worried about."

Jester said immediately, then muttered slightly.

"I also know that it is difficult for me to convince you, but what I said before is also true, I am really optimistic about Google, I think its future is promising - of course, I have no idea of trying to snatch this company from you, you should also know my investment style, I am rarely involved in the specific operation of the company I invest in, because when I invest, I am not only optimistic about the project itself, but more importantly, I am optimistic about the people who do the project."

This sentence naturally means something, Larry. Page and Sergey. Brin also knew that Jester was complimenting the two of them.

However, as two brilliant people, they certainly knew that the words of the capitalists could not be believed, so the disappointment in their hearts did not change in the slightest.

Jester also saw this scene.

"You are just worried that I control too many shares, and we will have more and more say in the future, and we may even kick you out of Google." Speaking of this, Jester paused for a moment, then smiled, "With all due respect, as long as you two have enough skills to keep this company growing and get enough dividends for my investment in the company, then what kind of madness did I have to kick you out of Google?" ”

"Besides, I only have 30% of the shares now, and even if I invest in all my future investments in proportion to all my future investments, it won't have any impact on your management of Google, right?"

Hearing Jester say that, Larry. Page and Sergey. Brin also hesitated, because what Jester said made a lot of sense.

"Yes, if we can do a good job in this company, of course he won't use the equity in his hand to kick us out, but if we don't do well, even if he doesn't get rid of us, other shareholders can sit idly by?" But soon, the two of them had a second thought: what if some of our ideas clashed? Honestly, Larry. Paige for Sergey. Brin's idea of Google isn't just about being an Internet company.

He hopes that in a decade or so, people will refer to their companies as technology companies, not just Internet companies.

Who knows, before they could say what they thought, Jester laughed and said.

"To be honest, I understand your concerns, are you worried that I will object to your ideas or proposals for the future direction of this company? I think you are completely overthinking this, I said before, I will not interfere in the specific operation of the companies I invest in at all, but will arrange my financial team to supervise the finances, which is also my power, and as for whether you will research quantum computers or other things in the future, I don't care, what I care about is what this company can bring to me. ”

Hearing Jester talk about quantum computers, the two founders of Google smiled, thinking that Jester was really humorous, even if they were whimsical, they didn't think they were capable of developing quantum computers.

But what neither of them could have imagined was that the Google in Jester's mind would actually be conducting research on the feasibility of quantum computers fifteen years later. (To be continued.) )
