This acquisition can be said to be very sudden, but a few days after it was listed, it was quickly won by Su Zhen, which made other peers quite stunned, and sighed that another animal husbandry tycoon was about to be born.
During this time, garden ranches became the hottest topic in Illinois, and many newspapers carried headlines about the acquisition of large ranches by wealthy Chinese-Americans. But few people know that the so-called rich Chinese is just a ten-year-old boy.
At this time, someone who has become a topic of conversation is very comfortable walking birds in his own pasture~, everyone else is busy because of the expansion of the ranch, as the manager of the ranch company's accounts, Liu Ru is naturally not easy, but fortunately, there is a Liu Shihua who also helps on the side, but Su Zhen, the initiator, has become the most idle person in the entire ranch, running blindly with two small eagles all day long, and living out of a child of Eight Banners.
In this way, the time slowly entered August, on this day, Liu Shihua drove Su Zhen to the airport to pick up people, and ten minutes later, a beautiful working girl in a lady's suit stepped out of the airport hall, who is not Rachel.
Rachel was very happy to see Su Zhen and Liu Shihua coming to pick him up, and gave one of them a warm hug.
"It's just the right time for you to come back, we're going to Hawaii for a vacation in a few days," Liu Shihua said happily, she still likes Rachel, a sister who is a few years older, and she is not familiar with anything in the first days when she first came to the United States, and Rachel is by her side.
"Sue has already told me that I've been to Hawaii, and I'll be your guide when I get there." Rachel laughed.
Just when the two women were about to start talking, Su Zhen hurriedly stopped, "Let's talk about it when I go back if there is anything, this is not a place to chat." The second daughter saw that it was really not a good thing to stand at the door of the airport hall like this, so she walked towards the parking lot with Su Zhen.
When she arrived at the parking lot, Rachel looked at the SUV driven by Liu Shihua and said, "Su, you don't want to change Liu Shihua to a better car, this kind of car is not suitable for a beautiful girl like her."
"That's right, I still work for his company for nothing, the kind that doesn't pay for it," Liu Shihua also said with a smile after finishing it.
Su Zhen scratched his head and looked at the Cherokee in front of him, isn't this car very good, with a large space and volume, it seems that several women in the family don't seem to like this car.
Reluctantly said, "The day after tomorrow is her birthday, I promised to give her a car, and any model she chooses at any time."
"That's what you said, we didn't force you," Liu Shihua said with a grin.
Su Zhen rolled his eyes helplessly.
got into the car, Liu Shihua drove in front, and Su Zhen listened to Rachel's report in the back.
"I put the main investment target on the Internet industry according to what you said, I collected relevant information, and found that the hottest Internet company is the portal Yahoo, which has skyrocketed from $4 per share when it was listed in 96 to $97 now, which has become a myth on Wall Street, but its stock price is now too high for us to enter, and it has too many investment groups behind it, and it will not allow us to enter a piece of the pie." Rachel said.
"So does the company have any investment goals or plans now?" Su Zhen asked, of course he knows Yahoo, but it is more beautiful now, but in the future generations, he will hardly hear about it.
After hesitating for a while, Rachel said, "Although Internet companies are hot now, I feel a little too impetuous, almost every new Internet company is born, and the stock price is soaring, but I found that many of them are shell companies, only a simple website, but there is nothing substantial, this is not a good phenomenon, so I only invested in one company and two entrepreneurs."
"Are you worried about bubble brokers?" Su Zhen looked at Rachel in surprise.
"Yes, because I found that the Internet industry is completely different from the traditional industry, it has no physical material foundation, it is completely built on the virtual space, and its actual value is difficult to estimate, which is simply a hotbed of bubble brokers," Rachel said.
Su Zhen didn't expect Rachel's vision to be so outstanding, indeed, in the early days of the development of Internet brokerage, because the public did not have an exact understanding of the related industry, but blindly followed up, which led to the bursting of the brokerage bubble two years later, the stock market plummeted, and countless Internet companies declared bankruptcy after burning up the wind investment funds, resulting in a considerable number of venture capital companies slumping, Rachel was able to buy and see this, which is enough to prove her ability.
"Don't worry, boldly invest, as long as you completely withdraw before 2000," Su Zhen smiled and comforted Rachel and said, Su Zhen didn't know the specific time of the Internet bubble, only knew that the road was after 2000, anyway, he just had to make a big profit before that, anyway, it was better to cheapen himself if the money evaporated in vain.
Rachel wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by Su Zhen, "Don't worry, listen to me, although there is a bubble now, it is far from reaching the peak, and now that the market is booming, it will definitely not collapse before the new century, let's talk about the two investments you said." ”
When Rachel heard this, as long as she gave up, she thought that she would pick some potential companies to invest in, and she wouldn't lose too much if something went wrong.
"I'M EYEING AN ONLINE TRADING SITE SIMILAR TO AMAZON CALLED EBAY, WHICH WAS REGISTERED LAST SEPTEMBER AND THIS YEAR GOT MEG WHITMAN, WHO USED TO BE THE VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING AT THE DISNEY COMPANY, AS CEO. I think the Internet is developing rapidly, there will definitely be more and more online transactions, the potential of this company is very good, due to the rapid pace of expansion after Melo took office, it just lacks capital, and it is seeking to go public recently, which is a very good investment target" Rachel looked at Su Zhen after speaking.
"Yes, how many shares did you take?" Rachel's vision is really good, and she caught a big fish directly, Su Zhen secretly praised it in his heart.
"20 million US dollars, 20 percent" Rachel was actually very worried that Su Zhen would be unhappy, after all, for a new company that has only been established for two years, this price is indeed too high, according to the calculation of the company's accountants, the total value of the entire EBAY at this time is only so, and Rachel also gritted her teeth and made this decision.
BUT SU ZHEN DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, AND MOTIONED TO RATCHEL TO CONTINUE, IN FACT, HE DIDN'T KNOW THE VALUE OF EBAY AT THIS TIME, IN HIS OPINION, TWENTY MILLION TO WIN TWENTY PERCENT OF THE SHARES OF THE BEHEMOTH WITH A MARKET VALUE OF TENS OF BILLIONS IN THE FUTURE WAS TOO CHEAP.
"Another investment is a classmate of mine, named Larry Page, who wanted to set up a company, and I happened to run into it, so I invested five million to help them set up a company, occupying half of the equity" said and looked at Su Zhen again, and was slightly relieved to see that Su Zhen did not have any reflection, and continued "He and his classmates designed an Internet search engine, which is much more powerful than all the current search tools, and has great potential, so I decided to cooperate with them, and they are responsible for technology and management of half of the shares"
"And then? What is the name of the company? Su Zhen asked after seeing Rachel stop, he just felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
At this time, Liu Shihua in front of him said speechlessly: "Su Zhen~ is home!" ”
Su Zhen looked outside, but no, just thinking about things, he didn't realize when he got home, "Ha Luha, I'm sorry, I'm thinking about it, by the way, what is the name of the company built by your classmates." After getting out of the car, Su Zhen asked as he walked home.
"GOOGLE, THIS IS THE NAME THEY GAVE TO THE SEARCH ENGINE, AND THE COMPANY NAME WILL ALSO USE THIS" Rachel's answer directly made Su Zhen stunned at the door of his home.
"What's wrong with you, hurry up!" Liu Shihua looked at Su Zhen who was blocking the door, and said helplessly, "Is there anything to go in and say no, Rachel will just come, will you let her stand at the door like this?" ”
Only then did Su Zhen react, opened the door with a smile and entered the house.
AFTER ENTERING THE HOUSE, SU ZHEN COULDN'T WAIT TO ASK RACHEL ABOUT GOOGLE, AND NOW HE FINALLY REMEMBERED THE NAME LARRY PAGE, "YOU SAID YOU AND THAT LARRY PAGED WERE CLASSMATES?" But it seems like he's the one from Stanford? And you're from New York University, and you've been graduating for several years, huh? ”
"Sue, you know him too?" Rachel was surprised by Su Zhenzhi's Dao Larry Page.
"No, no, of course I don't know, but I saw a little paper written by him when I was on the Internet before, and I knew that he was from Stanford University, so I asked if it was the same person as you" Su Zhen secretly exclaimed that it was dangerous, and he almost said that he had leaked his mouth.
"Yes yes and no, he's doing a Ph.D. at Stanford University now, yes, but the university he graduated from is the University of Michigan, because the business school of the University of Michigan and the business school of New York University, where I studied, often have academic exchanges, so I stayed there for a while, and I met him, he and I were in the same class, but I worked after graduation and he continued to study for a degree." Rachel explained.
It turned out to be this meaning, but this time Su Zhen couldn't help but praise Rachel for being really his own blessing, first an EBAY, and then a behemoth that was not weaker than Microsoft fell into his pocket like this.
AFTER THAT, SU ZHEN LEARNED SOME DETAILS FROM RACHEL, AND FINALLY TOLD RACHEL THAT "YOU WILL DISCUSS WITH LARRY PAGE, MAKE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS IN GOOGLE, AND GET AS MANY SHARES AS YOU CAN, WE CAN NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY, THE MANAGEMENT BELONGS TO THEM, IF THEY ARE NOT AT EASE, THIS ARTICLE CAN BE WRITTEN INTO THE CONTRACT."
Rachel didn't know why Su Zhenwei attached so much importance to this company that had not yet been established, but since he said so, he would do it himself.
