Chapter 518: The Harvest of Sowing
It turned out that Eric Schmidt, who called this because of Google's recent development, fell into a problem -
As the number one search engine in the United States and even the world, the two co-founders, Sergey and Larry, want to continue fundraising.
The problem is that as CEO, Eric Schmidt is now on Abel's side.
Eric believes that Google has already entered a good virtuous cycle of development. They are able to provide profits for themselves.
In addition, the search engine industry has also passed the stage of grabbing the market by burning money on a large scale.
Google, a monopoly company, is not bad for money at this stage, since it is not bad for money, so why do you need financing?
Wouldn't it be more valuable to refinance when the company is developing better?
Or simply do not raise funds, and when the time comes, go public directly, and the existing shareholders will have greater returns.
And from the point of view of Larry and Sergey, they don't think so.
Mainly now, Abel holds too many Google shares.
Smith personally owns 38.99% of Google's shares, more than a third.
This has severely squeezed the voice of Larry and Sergey in Google.
Although we have always had a good time working together, Abel is also very supportive of the two of them working at Google.
This is the reason why Google has developed well since it became a shareholder in Abel.
But people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, and this kind of power that requires the cooperation of Abel to have, the two co-founders are obviously very dissatisfied.
Forced by Abel's current influence, and the nearly forty percent of the shares, they dared not speak out in anger before.
And re-engage in investment financing, attract new shareholders to come in, dilute Abel's shares in Google as much as possible, and re-establish a new mountain among Google's shareholders.
It is the two co-founders, the only way to get rid of or reduce Abel's influence.
Eric Schmidt objected to such a thing. He is a professional manager, and even if he can get a stake in Google, the number will definitely not be too much.
The introduction of new shareholders may make Google, which has a good momentum, fall into problems of one kind or another.
Rather than that, it's better to keep the status quo and wait for Google to get better and then consider these issues.
Eric Schmidt's opposition, plus his now within Google, has been recognized as Abel's man.
The CEO called Abel to inform Abel of the incident, and at the same time wanted to know Abel's opinion or get Abel's support.
In the compartment of the Cadillac monster sedan, after listening to Eric Schmidt's narration, Abel groaned slightly.
In fact, Abel had expected this kind of thing.
Neither Larry nor Sergey, the two co-founders, is a guy who is willing to be subservient.
Otherwise, before the dot-com bubble burst, Yahoo was on better terms, and they could have sold Google to Yahoo at that time.
They didn't sell it, probably because the Internet was developing very well at that time, and they thought that Google would be more valuable in the future.
The second is that these two people have a great desire for power and don't want to give up Google.
Now that they have taken Yahoo's place, the two will fight back and try to expand the voice in their hands, which Abel has long predicted.
"Financing is never a bad thing, it's a good thing to have enough money."
Abel held Yin Kana in one hand, felt the beauty of her body, and whispered:
"Eric, we should support Larry and Sergey."
Hearing Abel say this, Eric Schmidt was stunned.
The current CEO of Google was very disappointed when he received this reply from his boss.
If Abel had this attitude, then Eric felt that he was really a villain.
It's better to work with Larry and Sergey to make your work in Google go more smoothly.
Fortunately, just when Eric Schmidt was a little disappointed.
He heard Abel's voice ringing on the phone again.
"But for the valuation of financing, Larry and Sergey, how much do they plan to offer?"
"About $30 billion, not more than $35 billion."
Eric Schmidt reinvigorates himself and answers Abel's question.
"Then you go directly and tell them that if it is less than $35 billion, I will subscribe as much as I want to raise the amount of financing. If I want to stop expanding my equity, the valuation of this financing must be more than $50 billion. ”
Abel remembers that Google in parallel time and space, when it first began raising money publicly after the Nasdaq bubble burst, its stock was valued at $32 billion.
This time and space, because of its own reasons, Google is obviously developing better. Its valuation is now at least $40 billion.
Larry and Sergey want to bring in a new majority shareholder to dilute their stakes.
Abel actually didn't object, because he knew that it was unrealistic for Google to really become bigger and dominate so many shares.
In this case, in the process of sharing stocks, try to maximize your own interests.
It's not a bad thing to sell more, recoup your investment, and make more money.
At the same time, higher valuations can also repel those pretenders who do not have the strength to a certain extent.
Let the shareholders of the new Google company either have the strength or are very optimistic about Google.
This must also be a good thing for Google.
Even for the two co-founders, it may not be so good.
Hearing Abel's figure of $50 billion, Eric Schmidt knew that Abel was trying to make trouble.
Google is worth a lot of money right now, but it's not really worth $50 billion.
It's not Microsoft or Yahoo, it's mainly Google, which is only a search engine, and now has a market value of $40 billion.
If it is a valuation of $50 billion, it will not be so easy for Larry and Sergey to bring in major shareholders.
Funders will consider whether Google is worth so much money now, and whether Google has little future prospects.
You know, this is Google, which doesn't have Android and no other services.
Relying on a search engine and a market capitalization of $50 billion is obviously a big question mark.
"I see what you mean, Mr. Smith. I'm going to tell the two co-founders. ”
Eric Schmidt had a relaxed smile on his face.
With Abel's request, it will be easier for him to say when facing the two co-founders.
"Well, Eric. Don't worry, in short, I support you. Even if you can't do it at Google in the future, Smith Media, Tesla Motors, or any other company you're interested in are all welcome. ”
"Oh, thank you, boss. But now, I'm going to take control of Google for you! ”
Eric Schmidt said excitedly, and even his name changed.
Abel smiled here, "That's it, I believe you anyway." Goodbye, Eric. ”
"Goodbye, boss."
Wait for the convoy to return to Santa Barbara, about 18 kilometers from the airport.
When arriving at the villa where Yin Kana and Paris had a baby.
It was already past 9 p.m.
The doors of the Cadillac monster are opened.
The high-spirited Abel came down from above.
Then came Yin Kana, whose face was flushed.
The two entered the brightly lit villa, and Yin Kana took him directly to Paris, who had already given birth to the child and was recuperating.
"I'm going to visit my two little darlings, and it's your time next."
Yin Kana, who gave birth to Abel's only pair of twins at present, is still a dragon and phoenix fetus, and now she is very open to these things.
She felt that she was in a stable position, and there was no need to compete for favor in such a trivial matter.
What's more, because of Abel, her relationship with Paris is indeed better.
Temporarily giving Abel to Paris, Yin Kana can still do it.
Even Paris is grateful to me for doing this. She thought
Sure enough, when Yin Kana saw Paris, she gave herself a grateful look.
She waved her hand and turned to leave Paris's room.
In the room, only Abel was left for a while, and Paris who had just given birth and was resting on Simmons.
"Hey, dear......" Paris's voice sounded a little weak, and Abel spoke a little hoarse before she could get to her Simmons.
"Have you seen our children? He's so beautiful, he's going to be a handsome young man in the future, and I don't know how many people I'm going to die! ”
Abel smiled, didn't speak immediately, went directly to her, leaned down and kissed her.
Paris struggled slightly to dodge, "Don't, don't kiss, I just finished taking the medicine, and it tastes a little ......"
However, Abel didn't care at all, he knew that the more he didn't shy away from these things at this time, the more comfortable the women's hearts would be.
With a long French mouth, Paris gasped for breath before Able let go of her.
"You are more important, my dear. The child is just the crystallization of our feelings, and it will only come after the two of us forever. ”
Now Abel can speak these sweet words very fluently.
It's not impossible to have a complete interest relationship with women. But adding a little emotional embellishment to it will make both parties more pleasant and make yourself more mentally enjoyable.
Abel doesn't mind doing this little extra "work".
His sweet words were so effective that Paris's eyes softened.
With his power and his looks, Paris felt that the hard work of the day today was worth it.
She even wants to have a few more children for him and get a few more crystallizations of love.
She didn't want to think that Yin Kana had just gone to the airport to greet him in person.
With the urine nature of these two people, something must happen on the way home from the airport.
After all, Paris had just finished giving birth for a long time, and although she had rested for a day, her spirit was still a little weak.
Soothed by Abel, she soon fell asleep.
After getting the child, Abel went to the thermostatic nursery next door to visit his other child.
He was a beautiful little boy, with very thick hair from birth, and a bit of blonde hair - he and Paris had the same hair color, and I don't know if he inherited it from his mother or his father.
As for the facial features, the newborn children all look a little ugly, and the outline of the future facial features can only be seen after the full moon.
At this time, except for the lack of hair, it is actually a bit like a little monkey.
Of course, there is nothing to see.
Abel, who is already the father of many children, is very experienced in this area.
To be a sowing "farmer", you still need to have this ability.
The baby was still sleeping, and Abertus took a few looks before leaving the nursery.
In the room not far from the next door, there are mothers of two other children, and her own two children, who need to visit by themselves.
When he arrived at Yin Kana's room, Yin Kana was not there.
She is in the baby room next door, taking care of Abel's pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.
Abel was just about to go out when he saw her walking back.
"Oh, dear. After reading it, how's it going? I don't think Paris's kids look as good as my little Andy. But it's not too bad, because after all, you inherited your genes. ”
"Ha, don't you think Andy and Yin Fanna will be alone?"
"Huh? How so? They have the mom who loves them the most, and you, the dad who loves them, will be the happiest baby in the world, how could it be...... Woo, woo......"
She was only halfway through her words, and there was no way to continue.
Because Abel is already planning to make more siblings for Andy and Yin Fanna.
More than two hours later, it was close to twelve o'clock in the morning.
In Yin Kana's bedroom, she was lying on her side in Abel's arms, a slender beautiful moon retreat was on Abel's moon retreat, her chin was supported on his bear mouth, looking up at her child's father, still panting, but showing a sweet smile a little stupidly.
"I almost died......"
"Huh." Abel reached out and stroked her smooth jade back, "That's not what you said just now. ”
"Bear with me, my dear. Let's talk about something else, like the Internet? When we were in the car just now, it seemed that the person who called you was the CEO of Google? ”
Abel smiled and didn't really continue to farm on Yoonka.
It has been less than two months since she gave birth.
In more than 50 days, I can already have sex.
Charlize had just given birth to little Arya not long ago, or even earlier.
But not too often, or too tired.
Seriously, it could really hurt her body.
That's more than worth the loss.
Abel restrained his hope and talked to her about Google.
"A $50 billion valuation? Oh my God, will anyone approve of it? ”
As soon as she heard that Google was going to raise money and Abel insisted on a valuation of $50 billion, Yin Kana couldn't help but be amazed.
This is now in 2002, and not long ago, General Electric, which was the largest in market capitalization, had a peak market value of less than $500 billion.
Not only are there several companies with a market value of trillions of dollars, but there are dozens of companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars in 2020.
In this day and age, companies with a market capitalization of more than $10 billion are already great giants.
Companies with a market value of more than 30 billion are already leading enterprises in their fields.
Google is not Microsoft or Yahoo, it is just the hegemon of the search engine industry.
In the current state of the ebb of the dot-com bubble, no one would believe it if it is worth $50 billion.
"The price is certainly a bit high, but I'm sure someone will follow. And if no one wants to invest, that's better for me. ”
"Why do you say that?" Yin Kana is a little tired, but she is a woman who wants to improve very much, and she wants to understand everything.
Abel looked at her for this cuteness. felt that since Yin Kana was tired, she had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, so she naturally wouldn't hide it.
】
He told her all about the filth within Google, as well as the real purpose of Eric Schmidt's phone call just now.
After listening to the reason, Yin Kana frowned slightly and said:
"Honey, those two guys really don't know what to do. If it wasn't for your help, there would be Google now! ”
Abel smiled, knowing that she was referring to the fact that she had invested in Google at its most dangerous time, so that it would not be too difficult during the time when the Internet bubble burst.
However, the reality is that even without itself, Google, which has become a climate, will not have any problems.
In this regard, there is no need to explain it to her in detail.
Suddenly, Abel heard Yin Kana whisper, "Honey, when little Andy and little Yin Fanna grow up, I want to continue working." But I don't want to go back to New York, I want to work here in Los Angeles. ”
Abel looked down at her in some surprise, "But the fashion center of the United States will always be New York." Los Angeles and Miami can't catch up no matter how much they can't catch up. ”
"Then I won't be working in fashion."
Yin Kana suddenly reached out and pressed Abel's bear mouth, supporting her body, her beautiful eyes flashed with wisdom, and she didn't care at all that the charming scenery of her watermelon-like big babies hanging down made Abel take in the view.
"I'm going to hand over YKM to Paris." "After spending so much time in California, I've found that I actually prefer the Internet industry," she says. ”
"Oh?" Abel was a little surprised, "YKM was founded by you, and even the name is your name." Can you really give up? And are you really interested in the internet? ”
"Hmm." Yin Kana affirmed: "YKM was founded at that time, more because of my father. Actually, my interest in fashion and clothing is mainly because I'm a woman. But now I find that my interest in this area has faded. ”
"I want to help you here in California. My dear, I'm a little uncomfortable in New York right now. ”
Yin Kana looked at Abel and said softly and seriously.
