The three of them said goodbye to Lisa and came down from the sixth floor of the Empire State Building, Catherine originally arranged for Guan Hao and them to go out through the boss's exclusive elevator, but Guan Hao insisted on taking the ordinary elevator.

Although the huge Empire State Building is only six floors, there are no less than 600 people working in this centuries-old building, which shows the scale of the Cape Town company, which is worthy of being the mainstay of the windmill kingdom and the pillar of the country.

The Empire State Building is a fortress-like structure similar to a Hakka walled house, with six floors above ground and three floors underground, built of sturdy giant granite, which still stands in the low-lying windmill kingdom for hundreds of years.

In the days of the Navy, more than half of the national wealth of the Windmill Kingdom was stored in a secret vault beneath the impregnable foundation of the Empire State Building.

As a result, the Empire State Building is not only the oldest building in the Windmill Kingdom, but also the birthplace of the world's first company, and an ideal place for business owners around the world who need financing to find investors, because Cape Town is known for its openness, freedom and innovation.

In the initial stage of the rapid development of the Internet, when Country A and Valley could not fully meet the financing needs of those young people with ideas, the Windmill King Duoduo Cape Town Company became the best choice for many Internet business owners.

Just after the Chinese New Year this year, the popularity of the Internet has decreased significantly, and many companies have experienced a serious shortage of funds, and many people have begun to come to Cape Town to find opportunities for financing.

The Empire State Building has more than 20 old-fashioned elevators, and although they look cramped and slow, these antiques are elegantly decorated and distinctive.

Guan Hao took Zhang Yuan and Luke to take the elevator on the sixth floor to prepare to go down to the lobby, and Zhang Mingkai still had some formalities to deal with, so he went to the third floor of the Empire State Building.

Separated from Zhang Mingkai, on the third floor, at the moment when the elevator was about to close, a tall white young man quickly drilled in, there were already five people in the elevator, such a narrow old-fashioned elevator, and then squeezed in a tall white man looked very crowded, Luke saw the young white man squeezing towards Zhang Yuan, he was very unhappy, and wanted to push the young white man.

"Rook, it's okay, move to me and let him in." Guan Hao uses C.

During this time, I got along with Luke day and night, and Luke's C language level has improved greatly, considering that I will have to live and work with my friends on the ship in the future, it will be more convenient to communicate with Luke in C, so I will use C to communicate with Luke whenever I have the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, the young white man who had just squeezed in heard Guan Hao's conversation, instantly turned his head, looked at Guan Hao with grateful eyes, and said in a stiff C language: "Thank you!" ”

Guan Hao didn't care at first, but when the young white man said "thank you", he moved his eyes from Zhang Yuan, who was in the corner, to the young white man.

Guan Hao glanced at the young white man on the side with a smile, and a sense of déjà vu arose:

Why is this person so familiar! Where have you seen it?

"Is it from Country C?"

"Hello, yes, we are from country C!"

"Hello, I'm Elon Martin and I'm from G-Valley in Country A."

"Elon Martin,, Iron Man?" Guan Hao was shocked and burst into foul language.

"Iron Man?"

Soon the elevator reached the lobby on the first floor, and Guan Hao couldn't wait to pull the confused Elon Martin to the coffee booth next to the front desk.

"Mr. Martin, I'm Guan Hao, please have a cup of coffee!"

"Is that okay?"

This somewhat abnormal behavior made Zhang Yuan and Luke on the side a little confused.

"Mr. Martin, how did you come to the Cape Town office? How do you speak C so well? Guan Haoyi sat down and asked questions continuously.

"Hello, Guan, did we know each other before?"

"Oh, I've heard of you in G-Valley before!" Facing the idol he admired the most in his previous life, Guan Hao couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"That's right, my family has a business consulting company and some business in G Valley, and I have read your introduction from the company's profile."

"I see, Guan, what's the name of your company?"

"Quark Business!"

"Oh my God? I know that this company is very hot in G-Valley right now, and you have invested in a lot of companies recently! ”

"Yes!"

"Then how did you end up in the Cape Town company?"

"I'm here to visit!"

"Mr. Martin, why are you here?"

"Hey, I'm here to get financing from a Cape Town company, which has been short of money lately."

"What's going on?"

"My partner and I started a company called Zip2, and now we are having some financial difficulties, and we want to find investors in Cape Town!"

"And how much money do you need?"

"About 5 million dollars!"

"I can vote for you!" Guan Hao said it without thinking.

“？？？”

"Sister Kite, you can arrange for the Foundation to give Mr. Martin a priority procedure!"

"This?" Zhang Yuan was also very confused.

"Sister, in the future, Mr. Martin's project, we will give priority to it."

"Thanks, off!"

"That's right, Mr. Martin! I heard that you are preparing an Internet payment system called it, how about it, do you need a partner? ”

"Ah, Guan, how do you know, it's just an idea of mine, it's not ..... it's still in preparation."

"Do you need funds? I can vote for this project! ”

"Well, well!" Elon was shocked by Guan Hao's boldness, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Guan, you didn't ask me about my situation, and you decided to invest like this?"

"Mr. Martin, you may not know me, I am a person who uses the old saying of country C, it is to invest by feeling, the two of us have fate, and it is fate that allows us to work together."

"Fate? Well, I see, is it the same smell? Elon used a foul-smelling description, and it seems that his C is also half a bucket of water.

"Haha, Mr. Martin, can you tell me who taught you your C?"

"Guan, I was born in country N, and when I was 5 years old, it was my godfather who taught me, and my godfather was a man from country C who went to country N to do business from country C."

"No wonder! Let me introduce you to my fiancée, Ms. Zhang Yuan, who is the administrator of the God of Wealth Foundation. ”

Looking at Elon who was sitting still, Guan Hao smiled.

"I forgot to tell you, the God of Wealth Foundation is also my family's."

"O my God! Did I go shit luck today? ”

"Mr. Martin, tell me, how many Zip2 shares can you give me for 5 million?"

"Well, let me tell you the truth, my company's first capital was funded by my godfather, I left him 20% of the shares, last year I used 10% of the shares to find MD company to raise 3 million, deducting the non-voting equity in the hands of other partners, I still have 43%, 5 million in my hand, if calculated according to the current market value, I can give you ........"

Elon paused and continued: "Then I'll give you, 20% equity, what do you think?" ”

"Hmm!"

Seeing that Guan Hao did not express his position, Elon thought that Guan Hao was not satisfied with the shares, and hurriedly explained: "Guan, that's the case, although Zip2 is not profitable now, but the current development momentum is very good, the development trend of the Internet is beyond doubt, if it is not for the recent cooling of the Internet by capital, I think our valuation should be above 50 million, so the 20% I give has actually been ...... If you're not satisfied, I'm actually okay ......."

"I'll tell you the truth, we have a principle of Fortuna Foundation investment, venture capital investment in startups is generally not less than 25%, do you think we need to increase our investment to get 25% of Zip2 company's shares?"

Elon thought about it seriously and said cautiously:

"C people prefer 6, think 6 is an auspicious number, 6 is also my lucky number, I think it is 6.66 million dollars, 25%, what do you think?"

Guan Hao thought for a while: "I think this price is worth it, I am very satisfied!" ”

"Okay, deal!"

"Sister, you will immediately arrange for someone to handle Mr. Martin's investment matters."

"Okay!"

"In addition, I personally add another 10 million to invest in Mr. Martin's other projects, as for the shares, Mr. Martin, you can look at it!"

"Thank you so much, off! Thank you for your trust, there is an old saying that "a man dies for his confidant!" "I'm willing to share it with you, deducting the equity of the core team, then we'll have half of each!"

"Okay, I have no problem, happy cooperation!"

"Happy working together!"

"By the way, in the future, I will not participate in the operation, you are completely in charge, I will let the Foundation sign a concerted actor agreement with you, and you have full authority to represent me. Board seats, let Miss Zhang arrange to enter! ”

"There's no way at all!"

"This is my personal contact number, plus you, only three people know about it at the moment, and all three of them are here!"

"Okay!"

"That's right, Mr. Martin! I have a suggestion that I hope you will consider! ”

"Guan, I am very interested in the traditional culture of your country C, and I also have a lot of good feelings for the people of country C, now that we are all partners, you can open the skylight and say something if you have anything!"

"Hehe, C is very slippery! I even know what to say after the break! Very good! ”

"That's right, Quark Company did a survey report, and concluded that the Internet will be an important development trend in the world in the future, and many scenarios of enterprises will be placed on the Internet in the future, Tob business will be the focus of Internet business, and there will be a huge demand for classified ads of enterprises."

"Yes, that's exactly what I envisioned."

"Therefore, I suggest that Zip2's business should be oriented to enterprise classified ads, and that we should accumulate professional and technical talents to optimize our technical architecture. In the future, those technical development work will be handed over to the following technical engineers, so that they can help you do the technical architecture and modular operation management! ”

"yes, I understand!"

"Mr. Martin, if you don't have enough funds, just tell Miss Zhang, she is the real God of Wealth!"

"Yes, Mr. Martin, Hao Shao and our God of Wealth Foundation will fully support you."

"Thank you! Hao Shao, thank you Miss Zhang! ”

"That's all for today! We're going shopping! ”

"Okay, Hao Shao!"

The four of them got up and said goodbye!

Walking to the door, Guan Hao seemed to remember something, and asked curiously, Elon who followed behind:

"Mr. Martin, are you interested in immigrating to Mars?"
