Soon after Roland left Los Angeles, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro had already found David Olsen who was interested in them with the prepared planner, and the two sides negotiated very happily, because two million was simply astronomical for them who were studying, and the valuation of 10 million after financing made them even more ecstatic.

Of course, the two of them are not fools, and the reason why they agreed to the conditions of David Olsen's 'buyback' is because compared with David's original 'veto', he has retreated a lot - yes, David is not a fortune boy like Roland, in his eyes, angel investment is very risky, but it is also controllable and preventable.

If you win a veto, you can intervene in the company's development progress, win the company's repurchase clause, and reduce the loss of investment accordingly; In the face of such harsh conditions, even if none of the two Yahoo chiefs who were still young did not want to agree, but after considering that so far, only David Olsen took the initiative to come to the door, and the venture capitalists they found themselves were not interested in unprofitable schedules and projects, under the condition of 'persuading' David to give up the idea of "veto", accepting the "buyback" clause became the best result of taking a step back.

However, even if the two parties reached an agreement and signed the contract, David was not interested in Roland's idea of investing in Yahoo, and after making up for the current situation in the Internet market, he felt that Yahoo really had no prospects, and it was better to invest in Netscape than to invest in it!

Now, almost everyone is using Netscape Browser! Their market share is more than 90%!

And they are still financing, 40 million can get five percent of the equity!

Investing in this kind of monopoly giant is much safer than investing in a web portal, and Netscape is the last round of financing before the IPO, so it is possible to enter the market at this time and realize the profits!

…………

"If you don't make this kind of quick money, you have to stare at a web page, I really don't know what he thinks!"

"I'm still surfing the Internet every day! The browser is such a good project in front of him, and he can't see it! ”

"I really don't know what he's playing all day long!"

Flying back to Los Angeles from San Francisco, as soon as he entered the house, Garneti asked about the outcome of the incident, and in the face of his wife's curiosity, David, who shook his head in confusion while taking off his coat, kept sighing.

Hearing this, Ganetti, who took the coat, laughed, "You told me before that you don't understand the Internet. ”

"How did you become an expert after a few months?"

"I don't understand, but I'll check!" David shrugged, "Isn't it what a qualified investor should do by researching the market before investing in a project?" How can there be such a person like Roland who invests when he sees what he likes? ”

"Isn't it normal for children to buy what they like when they see it?" Garnetty felt natural, "If it weren't for Roland's lack of money, otherwise your son would have instigated him to buy Marvel, and Lizzie, who wants to soak in Disneyland every day, if Roland is rich, do you believe that she can hold his thighs and tell him to buy Mickey, buy Mickey, buy Mickey, buy Mickey......"

When Ganetti followed the example of his daughter, shook David's arm, and kept repeating the same words, the childishness made David raise his hand and pat his head, but just when he showed helplessness, a small head suddenly jumped out of the stairwell, looked at his parents with bright eyes, and wondered, "Dad?" o？ Who is going to buy me Mickey? ”

Bang dong dong......

The two little short legs seemed to be attached to the wind talisman, and rushed in front of them in a puff of smoke.

"No, no." Seeing that his daughter was about to collide with him, David squatted down, stretched out his arms, and picked her up, "I'm talking to your mother about Roland's investment company." ”

"No, your dad thinks Roland made a decision that wasn't smart." Garneti corrected her husband's words.

Hearing her parents say this, Elizabeth was a little confused, and when the little guy broke the casserole and asked to the end, trying to find out what happened to Roland, David's words that summarized the story made her pout, "Roland is not stupid!" ”

"He had already discovered that frame, but he felt that it had no investment value!"

Well?

Although there were some problems with his daughter's expression, David understood what she meant, and while casting a curious look, he also asked, "Why do you say that?" Wrong...... How do you know about this? ”

"Because I often go to his study, he just stares at the box and plays with the computer, and tells me what is that navigator called?"

How could Roland not know about Netscape?

This company, which can force Microsoft to the point where the antitrust bill must be investigated, also has huge investment value, but the problem is that the investment value is large, and it does not belong to Roland, or rather, it does not belong to any angel investment company.

Because their founders, hate venture capital.

Mark Anderson, the founder of Netscape, worked for the National Supercomputing Application Center in America during his college years, and there was no shortage of entrepreneurial opportunities for those who worked here, and Jim Clark, who wrote the browser with him, was the founder of Silicon Graph, the world's first graphics terminal and graphics workstation.

Just listening to the name, it may be very unfamiliar, but, although the silicon map does not have IB, HP is famous, but in the field of graphics and high-performance computing, he has an irreplaceable position for other products, all special effects movies on the market are made with the super workstations they produce, "Jurassic Park" is, "Forrest Gump" is also, "The Game of the Brave" filmed by the Olsen sisters is even more, and the "Titanic" that the truck driver wants to shoot can't be done without a workstation!

Looking at it this way, isn't it as simple as eating sugar for Roland to invest in Netscape?

Wouldn't it be the end of just letting the old man take him to meet people?

But the question is, what is the use of the old man introducing these two guys to him?

Roland went there with a golden knife and told them that I want to invest in Netscape, 4 million and 20% of the shares?

People will definitely change their faces, pick up the shotgun and stuff it into Roland's head, and explode his head directly!

Why?

Because Jim Clark, the founder of Silicon Map, was kicked out of the company by venture capital!

When he founded Silicon Chart, after the angel, the first round, and the second round, his stake in the company was only a pitiful five percent.

Although this is not a small amount in the IPO, for him, the capitalists who supported him to complete his dream have completely occupied his company!

If you talk to someone like that, they'll just shout, 'Hallelujah!' and kick you out of your company.

They don't need angel investment, they feel that angel investment is the devil who embezzles the results of others.

And if a company like Netscape can't enter the angel wheel, it won't make sense......

There are 40 million, isn't it good to use it to shoot "The Seven Deadly Sins"?

How much can I cash out when I enter the last round of financing before going public? In addition, as soon as the shares exceed 5%, they will be disclosed, and once disclosed, what does Microsoft, which is also tinkering with browsers, think? Isn't the atmosphere of DreamWorks' cooperation directly disrupted!

If you can't earn much, forget it, and give a backstab to your allies?

You think you're the French in Civilization 6?

Since Roland doesn't have the ability to make others stand in line now, he who has already chosen a side will not toss around.

If you can't earn money, you won't earn it, and besides, it's not a choice that can affect the future, if you lose it, you lose it.

…………

Of course, Roland won't tell David about these things, anyway, with James behind him, he doesn't have to think of anything else at all.

After three weeks of filming in New York, the crew finally returned to San Francisco, and the rest of the fight scenes were filmed in the studio - everyone is their own people, and of course it was the studio of Industrial Light & Magic!

Since you can shoot and cut while designing special effects, you don't have to fly between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Because Xiao Lizi is not involved in fighting, after flying to San Francisco with the crew, he turned around and flew back to Los Angeles after the scene was completed.

Roland is not a fool, how can he not hear the meaning of the other party's words?

Isn't this an obvious way to tell him that if there is any good project, he can recommend it!

But Roland doesn't produce projects, he's just a porter of projects!

"That'...... What about DreamWorks? Xiao Lizi asked cautiously.

Get...... This guy still wants to hook up with DreamWorks.

In his previous life, all kinds of news flew all over the sky, saying that Xiao Lizi only wanted to win the Oscar and didn't care about the commerciality of the film.

This is bullshit!

People just don't want to act in that kind of commercial film where special effects overshadow the performance!

How could he refuse a commercial film that can really make money?

And for Spielberg, there are too many feature films that can not only win awards, but also reflect business!

In this way, isn't it reasonable for him to set his sights on Roland?

But Roland thought about it and still expressed regret, "The reason why DreamWorks invested in my "Spider-Man" is because they don't have to take care of the project themselves, Sony invests seventy-five, DreamWorks fills twenty-five, and the other two production companies, one is mine, which specializes in publishing rights and shares, and the other is Catherine's, she is responsible for production and operation, if you want to wait for the project prepared by DreamWorks itself, then ......"

"DreamWorks has just been formed, and there won't be any new projects in these two years."

“oh，！” Xiao Lizi cursed.

Seeing the loss written on the other party's face, Roland added another sentence.

"But,If you have a favorite book,You can bring it to us to make!"

"Huh?" Xiao Lizi cast a puzzled look.

"Be a producer yourself, come to us to attract investment!" Roland didn't think there was anything wrong with his words, "If an investor comes to you, of course, it's good, and if you have a favorite project and can't find an investor, I can also take a look." ”

"After all, the current film market is actually a two-way choice, the producer invites you, the main purpose is to make money, and the main purpose of you looking for the producer is to attract investment, but for me, this is not the case."

"I started a company in 91, but so far I haven't let those companies take the initiative to make money, I have never touched money, I have no interest in money, but I am interested in spending money, especially spending money to help others achieve their dreams."

"I bought a game company and I'm happy to see that the games they make are well received by the market."

"I sponsored a website, and even though they asked me for a million and didn't count my shares, I was happy when they excitedly told me how much traffic to the website had increased and how many people they had served."

"I bought the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption', and although it may never be released, I was happy when Castle Stone Pictures happily threw this burden to me and helped others."

"And that David Fincher, I threw 30 million to make a movie for him, and I was very happy to see him patting his chest and telling me that he would definitely make a good movie and that it would be released this year."

"So, if you have an idea, you can also come to my ......"

Although Roland said it seriously, the corners of Xiao Lizi's mouth twitched.

I believe you're a ghost! You're a bad old man, you're bad!

The company doesn't make money?

That's because you can take away half of the producer's life with one movie!

If I can siphon off 18 points of the box office, I don't care if the projects I invest in make money or not!

glanced at Roland, but Xiao Lizi's mind was also enlivened.

That's right! Anyway, there's a big injustice here!

Since you can't catch the line of DreamWorks for the time being, it's the same for you to explore projects and find Kaizi to invest!

Xiao Lizi, who felt that this was feasible, stepped on the flight home with great morale, and while watching the other party drift away, Roland also put his hands in his pockets and returned to Lucas's lair, Skywalker Manor.

Why did he suddenly mention investment?

Is it because he robbed Xiao Lizi's "Titanic" and wants to compensate him?

Bullshit!

He is not the kind of person who robbed you of the opportunity, I want to repay your Virgin, and the reason why I invest is because it is valuable.

Roland believes that even without "Titanic", Xiao Lizi can come out.

Why?

Because he was on set, called Robert De Niro 'dad'!

In his previous life, when Roland was watching a movie, he felt that Xiao Lizi's performance was more and more similar to De Niro's.

Now—

After more than two months of getting along, he finally understood why this was happening.

Is Martin Scorsese teaching students only one trick?

No!

Is it not like father and son?

Not only that, but he also understood why after the death of Riven Phoenix, Xiao Lizi was able to take over his project!

Because of Robert De Niro!

Don't be too familiar with this 'King of Drama' and Harrison Ford of Thivan Phoenix!

As a guy who can make others pay out of their own pockets to act with them, even if they have not made any relationship public, insiders are not deaf and blind!

What should be taken care of, will be taken care of!

In this way, Roland, who is giving the role of the second generation of Green Goblin to the other party and promised to look at the investment, is actually taking care of his own people!

It doesn't matter if it's profitable or not, it's an investment in people, not in movies!
