Chapter 1009: Meeting on a Narrow Road (2)
"I believe the weight of my message ......" Tom laughed: "Qin Dong, you know that this is only a part of my news. ”
Qin Yuanfeng raised his chin and motioned for him to continue.
"You probably don't know...... Any university, in the United States, has a certain commercial nature...... They have laboratories, they have research institutes, and then they rely on these outputs to sell patent fees...... This is true of any university. So, where do they get their money from? ”
Tom's attitude at the moment is completely different from the previous few days, if he was tempted a few days ago, he deliberately hung his appetite, this time, he changed his identity very quickly, his expression is that of a supervisor in a certain position in the Qin Dynasty, dutifully offering advice.
He didn't wait for Qin Yuanfeng to ask, and said respectfully: "Every well-known university, their research institute, laboratory, and back must have a large company or investment bank sponsoring it. Otherwise, with the school's student fee, can you support the development of a project? I'm afraid they won't be able to set it up at the initial stage. ”
"Luckily, the investment arm of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank happens to sponsor the University of Illinois. We will see the details of each quarter, and we are also fortunate to see that Goldman Sachs is fortunate to see Qin Dong's interest in a browser with pictures. He stretched his smile and tried to ease the tense atmosphere: "Interest is a thing, it's hard to say, there are too many giants, just start from an interest and slowly do it, when I saw Qin Dong and Mark partnering, Goldman Sachs knew that Qin Dong was really moved......
Qin Yuanfeng's eyes were very calm and indifferent, but the trace of killing intent contained in them made people shudder.
Internet, whoever dares to touch it, he dares to chop off whose hand!
Whether it's Mitsui or Goldman Sachs!
Tom shuddered inexplicably, became a little more serious, and then said: "I don't have any intention of blackmailing, the Qin Dynasty has been developing for six years, and it has never exchanged shares with anyone, this is the first time. Maybe Mark can't see it, the Illinois school can't see it, but it's not that no one can see it......"
"Who told you this?" Qin Yuanfeng raised his hand and interrupted him.
Tom hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Mr. Adler, Livermore. Adler. According to Goldman Sachs' tradition, the Goldman family must have married the Adler family, so the Adler family is the most loyal supporter of the Goldman family and will never betray it. Adler's decision is basically the decision of Goldman Sachs. ”
"Huh." Qin Yuanfeng smiled noncommittally, Livermore. Adler...... It's better to pray that he doesn't put his thoughts on this, otherwise...... He will make him a dilemma of life and death!
The browser is not what he wants, the things carried by the browser are his real purpose!
Tom looked at his face and couldn't see a hint of it, so he could only stubbornly continue: "Chairman Qin, please rest assured, Goldman Sachs Group has no precedent for this kind of commercial espionage. Otherwise, it would have been discredited long ago...... Although the Adler family is famous for slamming the door, its reputation is not very good...... But the words of His Excellency Livermore are indeed in the same sentence. Moreover, I also learned about the IT industry for two days in a row before I found out that it was indeed as he said. ”
He cleared his throat: "If Qin Dong wants to make a website, and if he wants to make a big website, a global server is indispensable. There are also hundreds of server outlets in Europe and the United States, and each outlet has a three-year lease fee of 10 million US dollars, which is at least nearly 5 or 6 billion yuan. It's called a computer cluster, and it depends on how big you want to be, and you can even get to 10 billion ...... for top performance."
"Brush!" Qin Yuanfeng's eyes lit up, and in his mind, it seemed that something had been blasted open, and the clouds opened and the fog dispersed in an instant!
Mark found it temporarily, I'm afraid he hasn't understood it yet, and if he does, the finance department is likely to veto the plan as soon as possible.
The most basic reason is that computer clusters, which are "hubs" like databases, are too expensive! And keep upgrading! The current Qin Dynasty simply can't afford this kind of super project!
But how simple is the technology of search engines and portals? He doesn't know yet?
One month, only a maximum of a month! Both of these things can come out! That is, if he had been in the United States only, then, in a week at the earliest, France, Great Britain, Germany, and so on would have been flooded with their own portals!
What else is this talking about dominating ability?
If you want to publish this website globally, you need to rent a global network of outlets. Now, the European and American Intel networks have basically been paved, and he can afford to rent outlets in one country, but if he wants to push the network double sword to Europe and the United States, he really can't take it without billions!
Especially...... If other countries want to reject the cultural export of the Qin Dynasty in the future, they will push their own websites, in a word: their own countries will not provide Internet services to the Qin Dynasty for the time being......
His vacancies will quickly allow other portals to quickly occupy the market he has set aside!
What to do?
The best way to do this is to make your own HPC cluster! This is equivalent to building a global database!
The time is not long, three or four months at most, but this fund, even if it is five in one country, is at least close to 10 billion!
Of course, the profit is obvious, if in the Internet era for the first time to occupy the authoritative mouthpiece of public opinion, his database information is authoritative, once this standard is determined, the data survey of global merchants can make him quickly return to the capital!
Not only that, but in the future, online games will need agents from various countries, and with this, he doesn't need agents at all! Direct global distribution is! You don't have to share accounts with anyone else at all!
Online games, just small heads......
Alipay? Taobao? Internet banking?
These are the killer features! Must have a big database to support!
However, the condition for a unified global caliber is that the portal of the Qin Dynasty can cover the whole world! Don't give a life to the various portals that follow the trend!
Therefore...... This is nearly 10 billion, and it must be paid! For the great victory of the Third Age!
"What do you think?" Qin Yuanfeng turned his head and asked Tom, newcomer, naturally he wants to test the other party's level, and ...... I also have to see if the other party sells Goldman Sachs completely.
"Stir up." Tom said unabashedly: "Goldman Sachs wants to use a simple psychological hint: Goldman Sachs has taken a fancy to this browser, if it is promoted globally, how lucrative it will be?" This modus operandi ...... Try a smart person, because a smart person thinks more...... Then, the Qin Dynasty will borrow money and raise funds...... However, there is a problem with this. Where does your financing come from? ”
"Right? Qin Dong. Tom carefully observed Qin Yuanfeng's face and said cautiously, "Therefore...... Goldman Sachs Group Inc. made a suggestion...... "
Qin Yuanfeng nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"VAM agreement!" Tom felt that his breathing was a little short, this kind of agreement, often tens of billions, even his uncle, rarely experienced. Any advisor would be proud to have participated in this kind of agreement!
"As long as the Qin Dynasty is willing to participate in this agreement, it will never be a problem to borrow 10 billion."
"Is there a gambling agreement...... Qin Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes, and his hand tapped the handrail rhythmically. Goldman Sachs is insidious, at least in his opinion.
"What do you think?"
Tom's eyes showed confidence again, he coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Gambling agreement...... It's not that you can't, but you must choose a good match. Goldman Sachs' hand can be called the most insidious! ”
"The so-called VAM agreement is to ask the bank for a sky-high loan amount, and the price is to press everything on your own!"
"Reputation, all the equity of the company, all personnel, and the right of the other party to dispose of their own company...... And so to speak, betting, once you lose, then there is nothing. Yesterday's billionaire can become a homeless in a matter of minutes, and there will be no underwear left. ”
"It's the same with banks, every famous bank, they can take out dollars that can cover the top of the Alps, don't worry they don't have money, they have more money than anyone could imagine. They feel that your company will not complete the agreement, and that your company's assets will be better if they are handed over to someone else. Or you can go directly to the bank, and you will still be the CEO, but you will no longer be the chairman. ”
"From a boss to a senior worker." Qin Yuanfeng said approvingly. In his heart, he almost agreed with Tom's determination to break away from Goldman Sachs.
Adler could not have told him this kind of thing, and he deduced it himself, proving that this man was talented. deduced it to tell Qin Yuanfeng, which also proved his determination.
Goldman Sachs is indeed insidious, and his insidious thing is that they themselves proposed a gambling agreement, but they did not sign it with the Qin Dynasty!
They knew everything about the Illinois Institute, and it was likely that they knew everything about the Qin Dynasty immediately after they upgraded their ranks. It was easy to see the deal between the Qin Dynasty and the University of Illinois, and then, more naturally, they learned about Netscape, and it was clear that they also saw the great value of this browser that they had never noticed.
"This old fox...... They proposed a gambling agreement, but did not sign it with the Qin Dynasty, so he decided that if the Qin Dynasty used the browser to increase the confidence of the investors again and fill in another heavyweight weight in their hands, then they would lose the bet this time. Because, the Qin Dynasty, which went public with such a huge advantage, could easily pay off tens of billions of dollars, and it would not even take two years. Tom said.
Qin Yuanfeng rubbed his chin and took Tom's words with a smile: "If I were a senior executive of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, I would obviously not be careful in the face of a business that is easy to fail and is likely to only receive millions of dollars in interest. So, why tell me? ”
He snapped his fingers and smiled: "Because, he wants to use me to pit those opponents who don't know Netscape Browser!" ”
"That's right...... That's it......" The atmosphere of the two was very weird, and now they became like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, laughing and talking about the world: "They know very well that whoever makes this bet with the Qin Dynasty is likely to lose blood!" No...... Haha, they still have millions of interest to take! But the big expectations came to naught! Who can accept this kind of thing? Especially a businessman who would rather jump into the river without several times the profit? Take out tens of billions of funds, and other aspects will definitely be affected! ”
Dirty...... This hand is too dirty...... Qin Yuanfeng also nodded with a smile, wanting to use himself as a gunman? However, compared to Mitsui's gaze, this Adler is a little too small.
Which is better or worse, the superior is judged.
