"The thought of having to be busy until September before you can rest comes to mind a sense of powerlessness that makes you want to do nothing." The whole person was lying on the sofa, and Sean, who even had his face sunk in, said sullenly, looking very bad.

"On the bright side, Sean, at least there's only one movie left, and you can rest as much as you want when you're done with this movie." Galen was as comforted as ever.

"I know, but ...... From July last year to the present, for more than a year, there has not been a month without staying in the crew. Sean finally raised his head and said with a bitter face, "And now it will be at least a month before I can completely relax, and I feel my scalp tingle just thinking about it, which is about to become the last straw." ”

"I think you brought it on yourself, you shouldn't have promised so much in the first place, at least you can give up like Fast and Furious 2." As always, Sanders rubbed salt into his wounds.

Sean immediately glared at him, but unfortunately the latter walked out as if he didn't see it at all: "I'll go to the door to take a look, Neil said that there is good news to inform you in person, he should be there." ”

As soon as the words ended, the doorbell rang, and a few seconds later, Neil appeared in front of Sean and the others.

"Hey guys, how's it going? Did you miss me? The kid asked, looking very excited, and in a suit and leather shoes like Frederick, a successful man.

"Not at all." Sean, who was crawling on the couch, replied unceremoniously.

"It's such a sad answer, and my heart is going to break." Neil made an exaggerated expression, then fussed again, "Hey, I said Sean, why are you crawling on the couch like this, even if you want to learn bats, you should be hanging upside down on the wall, right?" ”

"I'm playing Batman, not a bat!" Sean gave him a blank look and finally got up from the couch, while Galen brought a few glasses of water.

"Of course, of course, I know, I've seen the TV coverage." Neil excitedly took it, "I have to say, you are so handsome, so suitable for Batman, it was the right decision to get this role in the first place!" I can't wait for the movie to come out! ”

Well, he's also a fan of DC Comics, and a fan of Batman, just ...... That's a bit too exciting, isn't it?

"Alright, Neil, can't you calm down? What the hell is going on today, I was so excited that I smoked marijuana. Sean said with a frown.

"Okay, okay, I'm just happy, although I didn't make it, it's a pity, but it's still a lot of profit." Neil was still a little incoherent, at least to Sean.

However, he then took a deep breath, his face straightened, he controlled his emotions, and smiled: "Congratulations, Sean, I came here to inform you that your vision has been proven again, and you are now super rich!" ”

"I was originally super-rich." Sean rolled his eyes disapprerovingly, the production company plus real estate plus various copyrights and those equity, he now has a net worth of at least two or three hundred million or even three or four billion, but there is not much liquidity.

"No, no, Sean, you're not," Neil shook his finger as if he was in control, "You used to be rich, and now you're super rich — don't you know, Google went public a few days ago, on August 15th." ”

"Oh?" Sean raised an eyebrow.

The accident was not faked, after all, for more than a year, constantly shuttling between various crews, naturally there was not much energy to pay attention to finance, basically taking a quick look at the report to determine the income and expenditure - the accountant is still very capable - and then asked Galen or Sanders to help check it. Of course, it was necessary to conduct a detailed inspection in person, but he planned to wait until after this busy time had passed, but Neil now came to tell him that Google was listed.

"Okay, so how much did I earn." Sean asked in a relaxed tone as he picked up the cup in his hand.

"Let me think about it...... Almost $1.8 billion. Neil, who also picked up his cup, quickly gave an answer.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Sean, Galen, and Sanders squirted out the water in their mouths almost at the same time, and then looked at Neil in front of them in disbelief, and asked in unison, "What?!" ”

"Damn it!" Neil, who was sprayed on the face, shouted a little angrily, and his voice became a little shrill because he was too annoyed, like a woman, and then jumped up to find a tissue to wipe on his face and body, "What the hell, this is my freshly made clothes, and it cost more than 10,000 dollars!" ”

"If I really have 1.8 billion assets, I can compensate you for 100 pieces!" Sean didn't care so much, "So sit down for me, and then explain it honestly." ”

"I'm not a prisoner...... although Neil said this, he still sat down, but his face was a little angry, "What else do you want to explain, that is, Google went public, and the market value reached 20 billion on the same day, and it is still rising, and the equity in your hand is naturally worth 1.8 billion." ”

Sean couldn't help but be dumbfounded, of course he knew that Google was a company with a market value of hundreds of billions, otherwise how could he have invested more than 20 million in the first place, as a reborn, others may forget, but this should have a memory. However, even so, he has always believed that even after Google develops like this, it will be more than ten years later, and the investment of more than 20 million yuan is enough to have ten times the profit after going public, and he is not greedy at all.

However, Neil now tells him that the listed Google has a market value of 20 billion directly, and it is still rising, and he already has 1.8 billion assets or more...... To use an old-fashioned phrase, this is like dropping a big pie from the sky, and the huge gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which stuns him in an instant.

That's $1.8 billion, not 1.8 billion yen, not 1.8 billion baht, not even 1.8 billion Zimbabwean dollars! In Hollywood, if only actors are counted, according to the reports of various financial media, the most wealthy, such as two Toms, Hanks and Cruise, have assets of eight or nine billion.

Even if you add the director and producer, there are two more on top of them, George? Lucas and Steven? Spielberg, the former owns Industrial Light & Magic, owns the copyright of "Star Wars", and has a net worth of around 4 billion, and the latter is a shareholder of DreamWorks, plus the copyright of a series of well-known works, about more than 2 billion.

And Sean's equity in Google alone is worth 1.8 billion, and it is still growing, plus the production company and other assets, he is basically as rich as Spielberg.

Even if it would be much less, but on the face of it, it is true, and he can now enter the ranks of the super-rich.

"Of course," Neil spoke again, "a lot of people are optimistic about Google's prospects, so the stock is worth rising quickly, I bought some early with a little connection, and I will make a lot of money by selling it in half a year, it's a pity that I didn't have so much money to invest with you at that time." However, if you want to issue additional issues in the future, your equity will be diluted – in fact, it will already be diluted. ”

"I remember there was a deal......" Sean said in thought.

"Yes, there is an agreement, your representative is still on the board, but after this round, it is good that you can keep your equity around 5%." Neil said quickly.

"Well, looks like we're going to have to keep throwing money into it." Sean, who had finally returned to normal, said this.

"Still throwing money?" Neil's eyes widened.

Not only him, but Galen and Sanders, who easily recovered from the shock, also showed surprised looks.

"Of course, Google is only going to get stronger, and just because I'm still on the board, doesn't mean I'll be able to do it in the future." Sean nodded.

Since Google gave him such a surprise, and the future is still so bright, what can he do if he doesn't take the opportunity to plan carefully. And in the future, when network communication is becoming more and more important, Google will also be quite helpful to his acting career, just as he threatened the new line at the beginning, so the identity of Google's director must be kept anyway, but the problem and trouble are......

"You have to think clearly, Sean, Google doesn't pay dividends." Neil reminded.

"Yes, I know." Sean replied with a bit of a headache.

That's the problem, God knows why Google has such a rule, and it's accepted. If you can't pay dividends, it means that Sean has almost no income on it, except for the value of the equity itself, if you have to put money into it, it will only make him more burdened.

"At the moment, my equity will not be diluted too much, and it will ensure that I can continue to stand on the board, right?" Sean asked, and after receiving Neil's affirmative answer, he added, "I need a new investment target, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

To increase your stake in Google, you don't have to invest money, invest in other IT industries, and then let Google value it and acquire it in exchange for equity.

Of course, this is a bit idealistic, and investing in the IT industry with good prospects is also a good way to make a steady profit, and then invest in Google. If one doesn't work, just a few more, and Neil has also helped him earn some in this area before, such as Amazon, such as Yahoo, and the vision should be fine.

"It's not that easy." Neil shook his head, "Although there are still a variety of ideas emerging in the IT industry, there are not many that are worth investing in. ”

"What about angel investment." Sean asked after thinking for a moment.

Angel investment refers to those rich people who have spare money and are bored, invest their money in those companies that are not favored by venture companies, and then sell them to others to make a small profit when they develop, because the investment is generally not more than 1 million, so even if you lose too much.

"Too little." Neil shook his head, "Even if every investment is 1 million, you can have a double or even double the profit, it is too little, if you want to keep Google's shares, an investment must be at least more than 10 million." ”

Sean frowned, he had already estimated the question: "Is there really no one?" ”

Seeing his appearance, probably to comfort him, Neil jokingly said, "Well, Harvard has been popular on a social networking site recently, maybe you can try it." ”
