Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"IcQ has reached a height where it can take off, but as the number of users continues to increase, and IcQ wants to maintain the current user experience, you need to rent better servers and more bandwidth, which is not cheap; In addition, with the expansion of the IcQ user base, your company is currently understaffed, and you still need to recruit manpower, based on the average annual salary in Silicon Valley, your company's annual salary expenses may reach $2oo US dollars in half a year......" Moretz looked at Lin Zheng with a sincere face, "So, Mr. Lin, in the early stage of the company exhibition, IcQ does not have any source of income, you really need our help." ”

"If your conditions are suitable, I will consider it," Lin Zheng nodded noncommittally, "Then your conditions?" ”

"Sequoia Capital injected $5oo to acquire 6o% of the shares of IcQ, and Sequoia Capital has the ...... to expand the shares" When he said this, Moritz smiled, he did not think that Lin Zheng could refuse Sequoia Capital's conditions, although this condition was indeed ...... Well, it's a bit harsh, but the world of capital is like this, one qiē speaks with strength.

Listening to Moretz's eagerness to say this large list of conditions that can be called "unequal treaties", Lin Zheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Moretz with a playful face: "Mr. Moretz, maybe you don't know, I have $3ooo worth of Microsoft shares in my hand, oh, now the value of this batch of shares is almost close to $380,000, so ......"

Do you think it's so easy to hold me? Still want this condition to bind me? Boy, you're so naïve.

Lin Zheng actually has $380,000 worth of Microsoft stock in his hands? Moretz was dumbfounded, if Nima really has $380,000 worth of Microsoft stock in his hands, Sequoia Capital is still playing with wool?

Looking at Lin Zheng's face full of mockery, Moretz had already scolded the bastard in charge of intelligence collection in his heart: You didn't even collect such important information?!

That's right. If Lin Zheng has a value of 38oo in his hands...... Maybe in a year, Microsoft stock will be worth more than $4ooo dollars, and of course he doesn't have to treat Sequoia Capital as a thing, short of money? It doesn't matter, you can sell a part of the stock in your hand, since people have money in their hands. No matter what kind of conditions Sequoia Capital offers, they will not agree, let alone such conditions, even if they inject $1ooo US dollars and only need 3o% of the shares, they will not agree.

However, after all, Moritz is a master negotiator with many years of rich experience, and when he heard Lin Zheng's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Mr. Lin." Congratulations, with such a stock, IcQ's exhibition is indeed much easier...... But excuse me, as far as I know, your company doesn't seem to have the financial resources? ”

3ooo U.S. dollars, converted into the currency unit of the republic, that is almost 250 million RmB, Sequoia Capital conducted a detailed investigation of the history of Lianchuang Technology. It is impossible for them to come up with 250 million RmB, and 250 million RmB to huàn3ooo US dollars in international currency to huàn is not a small amount, it is impossible for Sequoia Capital not to pay attention to it, if there is really such a thing, it is impossible for Sequoia Capital not to know.

Exercise! These guys are really prepared. Lin Zheng scolded fiercely in his heart, he could have thought that Sequoia Capital must have done enough homework before coming to him, but he didn't expect Sequoia Capital's homework to be so meticulous. "Oh, this stock wasn't something we bought from the stock market, it's Mr. Gates' reward for thanking us after we came up with some more constructive suggestions for Mr. Gates' epoch-making new generation of operating system...... I don't think it's hard to verify. ”

This guy offered some construction to Microsoft, and he actually exchanged it for Microsoft shares that were worth $3ooo at the time? Moretz almost bit his tongue: what kind of proposal did Nima propose to Microsoft, as an expert in capital operation, he couldn't understand Bill. Gates would do such a brainless thing: Bill. Doesn't that Gates bastard know what a fortune $3ooo is?

Despite the fact that in the heart will be Bill. Gates cursed a bloody dog, but Moretz still had to show his demeanor, "I see...... Mr. Lin's ability turned out to be Bill. Mr. Gates' recognition gives us more confidence in the future of IcQ. Mr. Lin, I hope that we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future. ”

Moretz was simply able to afford to put it down, knowing that the money in Lin Zheng's hand was enough to support IcQ to a certain height, and it was absolutely impossible for people to introduce the possibility of venture capital now, he immediately chose to have a good relationship with Lin Zheng: not introducing venture capital now does not mean that it will not be needed in the future.

"Absolutely. But I hope that the next time we work together, Sequoia Capital will show more sincerity. Lin Zheng is very satisfied with Moretz's cleverness, this guy is not stupid, he knows when to advance and retreat.

"Boss, do you really own Microsoft stock?" As soon as Moritz left, Benier couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't wait to ask Lin Zheng.

"Isn't that a mystery?" Lin Zheng asked with a smile.

"Great, great, with this money, we can do IcQ according to our own ideas, and we don't have to pay attention to those vampires in venture capital companies anymore!" Benier's face was flushed and excited.

Benier is extremely optimistic about the prospects of IcQ, but he is extremely skeptical about whether the boss has the financial resources to support IcQ to make money. Gates and these people are typical examples, but it's one thing to have a good idea and make a lot of money in the future, but the worst thing is that the investment in the early stage is too large, and no one can sustain this huge investment, and being squeezed by venture capital companies has become their only choice. Known as the next billionaire in the US IT industry, their Yahoo company was losing money last year.

It would be great if the boss really had nearly $4ooo worth of Microsoft stock in his hands, and the company would definitely be able to survive until the day when it would make money in the future.

"Of course, every penny we earn will be in our wallets, and we won't give those vampires a chance," Lin Zheng said with a smile, "Benier, do you remember the company's equity incentive plan, as long as our IcQ user scale reaches about 1ooo thousand, the market value of IcQ will not be less than 400 million US dollars!" ”

"$400 million?!" Benier blinked, a little excited, but still a little skeptical, "Is it really worth so much money?" ”

"What does 1ooo mean by 10,000 users? It means that we have covered 4% of the users in the United States, excluding the people under the age of 12 and over 65 who do not have much purchasing power, which means that we have covered more than 2o% of the American population with the strongest purchasing power, as long as we can provide a good user experience, they will be our loyal customers, Benier, think about it, how much money can we make a year just for advertising revenue? Lin Zheng's voice was full of temptation.

That's right! Benier's eyes lit up: the people who can end and get used to using computers and the Internet are all 14 to 5o years old, who are called the pillars of society, among the 1ooo million users, at least 9oo million are these "pillars of society", a full 9oo million, that is almost 9oo million families, this coverage is comparable to some TV stations with very good ratings, the boss is right, how much can we earn in a single year's advertising fees? According to the company's equity incentive plan, wouldn't it be a ......

"When the time comes, everyone will be a millionaire and a multimillionaire," Lin Zheng smiled and patted Benier's shoulder, "So, Lao Bei, you tell everyone, so that everyone doesn't have to worry, their boss has money in his hands, there is a lot of money, the company's exhibition will not be bound by funds at all, what I need is for them to display their talents to the fullest, the harder they work, the closer they are to the dream of millionaires and multimillionaires." ”

Benier is already excited and doesn't know what to say, for countless Americans, being able to become a millionaire is their ultimate dream in life, a multimillionaire? Many people don't even think about it, but now, this opportunity is in front of their eyes, the boss has a stock worth 380,000 US dollars, with the current appreciation of Microsoft shares in the market, I believe that the boss does not need to spend this money to reach the scale of 1ooo million users, when the company goes public, every penny is our own, everyone will become a multimillionaire, millionaire, we can watch those vampire-like venture capital companies drooling on the side... …

The power of a multimillionaire is endless, thinking that he will become an enviable multimillionaire in a year or two, Benier only feels that he is full of energy, "Boss, don't worry, I promise that as long as there is no problem with the funds, there will be absolutely no problems on the IcQ side!" ”

"That's right," said with a smile, "by the way, Benier, boss, I have a new idea." ”

New idea? Benier, who had already admired his boss's creativity, suddenly brightened his eyes, and his saliva began to flood, "Boss, is your idea also on the Internet?" ”

"Of course, you listen well......"
