1106. in the first place to Google
Heidi's big eyes flickered as he looked at Li Yifan, Li Yifan was a little soft-hearted, he knew that Heidi wanted to spend more time with him.
But now he feels that he is really busy, and it is not possible to complete these projects in a day or two, especially when it comes to four factories from north to south, not to mention that there are many intricate relationships in them.
Now he doesn't want to make too many leaks in front of the Chinese people, especially in front of many unnecessary people, it is better to make a fortune or make a fortune in a muffled voice.
And to investigate such a joint venture project, it is best to have a pure foreigner like Heidi come forward, according to the habit of the domestic group of people who are most afraid of foreign adults, if Heidi comes forward directly, it can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Forget it, I'm still not going, I have some other things to deal with."
A look of regret flashed in Heidi's eyes, and Li Yifan also felt quite guilty, and he added a little strength to his arm and hugged Heidi tighter.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we're busy with this time, we still have time, even a lot of time, together, and at the end of the year, I'm trying to take some time off to go to Europe. It's not interesting to stay like this in the country all the time. ”
"Really?"
Heidi was very happy when she heard Li Yifan say this, after all, for so many years, she has been alone, although she is used to loneliness, but with Li Yifan, a person who broke into her heart, she is often separated for a long time, which still makes her a little unacceptable.
"Of course, don't worry, I said I would do it. At the end of the year, I will definitely go to Europe to accompany you. ”
"Darling. You're so nice. ”
"Huh. Let's not talk about that, when you finish your inspection in China, I want you to go to the United States to help me buy some equity in a company. ”
"Well, what company are you talking about?"
"It's an Internet company, and now it's just a little famous, I'm very optimistic about their future development, if you have enough money in your hands, you might as well try to buy some."
"Oh? Listen to what you say. I'm more interested, what company are you talking about? ”
"It's Google, which has been very popular recently."
"Google? The Internet company that does the search engine? ”
"Well, that's them."
Li Yifan smiled and said to Heidi, after he was reborn, he really didn't think about relying on Google, the stock market killer, to make money, not because he didn't want to, but because at that time, first, he didn't have overseas capital channels, and secondly, because he didn't have so much capital.
But that's no longer the case. First, there is such a trustworthy capital channel as Heidi, and secondly, because the funds in hand are relatively sufficient. The more than 200 million dollars earned by the SAS epidemic have nowhere to spend now, so it is better to invest in Google's stock to turn over a few heels.
Moreover, there are still many worthy investors in the Internet industry in the United States in the future, but now is not a good time.
For example, a few years later, when the company was IPO and went public, it caused a sensation similar to Google's Facebook, but now the concept of Facebook has not yet been born, and the founder of the company has not even gone to college.
Although I also know the concept of Facebook, I can completely ignore the founder of Facebook and do it myself, but there is a big trouble that the reason why Facebook can develop rapidly in later generations is closely related to the development of Internet technology at that time.
At that time, it was the era of rapid development of wireless Internet, driven by the mobile phones and tablets launched by Apple, and Facebook, a software that belongs to the nature of instant messaging, is closely related to the development and construction of this wireless network.
And now in these years, countries around the world have not even been able to finalize the specifications of wireless networks, and if you come to a website like Facebook at this time, you can only say that your brain is in water and you think you have too much money.
In the United States, you are lucky to be lucky not to lose this thing, and it will take a while for that website to develop, so Li Yifan is not in a hurry.
These are all gold-absorbing weapons for future generations, and you don't have to rush to develop them all too early, just go with the flow and wait for them to sprout after the rain.
Once the founder of this website has made this website out, he will definitely need financing, and that is the best time to start on his own.
What's more, as early as the beginning of the creation of this website, there were not many people who were optimistic about Facebook, and the father of the social network, because of the shortage of funds, once thought about selling this website, so he didn't have to worry at all.
That was after 2006, and now I should put more of my experience on Google, you know, this website, in the future, was once called a stock killer against the sky.
By the end of that year, the original stock of $85 had risen to nearly $300 per share, and two years later, it had risen to $700 per share, and at its peak, it had broken through the stock price of $1,000 per share.
If you don't make a lot of money on this stock, then I'm really sorry for myself, I used to have no channels and no funds, so I didn't think about using this company's brains, but now I have both, if I don't want to make some money from this company, then I would be too stupid.
Li Yifan was still lying on the bed smoking a cigarette, and at this time Heidi had already gotten up from his arms, took the laptop, turned it on, and checked it on the bed.
When Li Yifan finished smoking cigarettes and Heidi almost finished checking the information, she pushed the computer to the side, and lay down in Li Yifan's arms and said.
"Honey, I just checked, this Google company is not listed yet? How do we acquire their shares? ”
Li Yifan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained to Heidi.
The Google company, founded in 1998, had fewer than 10 employees at the beginning.
In 1999, they received a $25 million funding round from Sequoia Capital, the same year they had fewer than 50 employees.
After entering 2000, relying on Sequoia Capital's $25 million, they began to recruit and continue to increase investment in research and development, and in the same year their number of employees expanded to nearly 150 people, but the company was still in a state of loss.
And in 2001, as their search engine became more and more sophisticated, and more and more netizens used it, their company also began to make a profit for the first time, and in the same year their revenue reached more than $80 million, and the profit reached nearly $7 million.
This year, the number of employees increased to almost 250.
In 2002, it was in this year that Google laid a solid foundation and established their position as the hegemon of the search engine industry.
This year, they created a revenue miracle, their revenue performance soared from more than $80 million last year to $430 million, and their net profit increased tenfold to $99 million.
And their staff has increased to nearly 500 people.
That's how Google has grown in just five years, and as a healthy company, they didn't need outside funding at other times than once in the second year of their finances.
Moreover, the boss of this company is very generous to their employees, and in order to retain talents, they are implementing an equity incentive system for their employees.
That is to say, as long as you join this company, then you can obtain a certain amount of equity in this company, but these equity rights are absolutely not transferable before and for a period of time after listing.
But this did not prevent Li Yifan from asking Heidi to buy the company's shares.
"You can start from three aspects, on the one hand, you can tentatively ask this company whether it needs financing, and if they do, of course we can get the equity of this company in a bright way. Of course it's a bit difficult, after all, now they are in a very good financial situation. Second, you can contact their employees and managers who own the company's shares, although now their shares are not allowed to be sold, but we can sign a futures-like contract with them, for example, if their company's shares are listed, what kind of price will they reach, or what kind of price will not be reached, they will have to sell their shares to us at a specified strike price, you know, after all, not all people will be so confident in the company. Or some people are in a hurry to use the money......"
"You're so optimistic about this company?"
After listening to Li Yifan's means, Heidi couldn't help but be very curious, where did Li Yifan get the courage to have so confidence in this company.
"Yes, I am very optimistic about this company, and even in my opinion, the future prospects of this company will not be weaker than Microsoft, as for why, I think it should be my intuition, and judgment!"
Li Yifan didn't want to explain too much, so he could only give an answer that showed off his wealth, but fortunately, Heidi is not particularly fond of getting to the bottom of things, and she is a good executor.
"The third point is to just go to the door and ask them if they are willing to sell the company, but I think it's difficult, but we can try."
Li Yifan said the third thought, to be honest, he felt that the hope was very slim, you must know that Microsoft once wanted to win the company, but in the end it also fell short, people don't even look down on Microsoft, let alone themselves?
But wouldn't it hurt to give it a try?
Among these three ideas, Li Yifan believes that the most likely to achieve is the second one, and the first hope is not very big, but Americans love money very much, so it is not impossible to succeed. (To be continued......)
