"Well, you have to work like this. When you go back, you dig Thomas Tur first, give him enough termination money, and then let him get to work quickly and share your pressure. I'm really short of money here, big projects are moving forward now, but I need a lot of money. There are a few timelines to pay attention to when you raise funds. The first batch of funds must be in place by February next year. The remaining funds will be in place by May next year. ”

"Okay, Yao. At that time, you may need to go over to the foreign exchange operation, and you need to go to the foreign exchange operation for such a large amount. ”

"Okay, not a big problem. Thailand currently implements a fixed exchange rate system, now 1 US dollar = 25 baht, which is basically a low point, under the attack of Soros led by the capital, Thailand's foreign exchange reserves can not resist for long. I'll go over and sit in the town when the time comes, but I don't know much about Forex, only a little bit about it. ”

"There are some decisions that no one can make for you. By the way, the promotion of ICQ is now on the agenda, and the speed of promotion will be faster and faster. If we want to go public, we must find some powerful investment banks or brokerages to be listed underwriters, and the fastest time to complete the listing is the beginning of 98, and the latest is June 98. These brokers are asking for shares. ”

"There is no problem with the time to market, it cannot be more than June '98 at the latest. Several rounds of venture capital before the IPO were handed over to the Panda Fund. ”

"No problem. But Ah Yao, can't all be handed over to Panda Capital, ICQ is a communication software after all, for security reasons, we also need to introduce some shareholders of Citigroup as shareholders on the surface. ”

"Then find two strong ones, such as the best ones on the rich list. ”

"I... I... ”

"What do you want to say? Melissa, don't hesitate. ”

"Well, my mother's current husband has a bank, he should have a net worth of about 20 billion US dollars, I went to my mother some time ago to ask if his bank can give ICQ loans, but my mother said he didn't agree, he didn't trust the Internet economy. And that old guy is close to the Koch family, and he and Charles are classmates at MIT. ”

"What's so bad about that, isn't it your stepfather, thank you for helping me with my affairs. Since that bad old man doesn't trust the Internet economy, let's slap him in the face, and we have to borrow money from him. You tell him that I need a $300 million low-interest loan with a 50% stake in ICQ.

If he agrees, I will set aside 5% of the shares for him in the round of financing before the IPO, and this 5% of the shares will also require a price of 300 million US dollars, and I promise that when the time comes to 2000, the 5% of the shares will be worth no less than 3 billion US dollars, and if it is less than 3 billion US dollars, I will make up for him. If it reaches $3 billion, he needs to give me another $300 million as a supplement to the transfer of this 5% stake. This is a loan plus VAM agreement. You just tell him this, and ask him if he dares to make this decision that is sure to make a profit. ”

"So, he will lend you a loan? Is this your Huaxia radical method?"

"It probably would. Your Chinese is progressing very quickly, not bad, there is a little bit of agitation, after all, what I gave is his plan to make a steady profit, I still have a lot of net worth now, in the capital of a country, with so many properties and land, I naturally have the confidence to speak.

By the way, when you talk to him, don't forget to say that I am your Chinese lover. Otherwise, he wouldn't know who I am. That's right, and one more string attaché. Let's just say that the same loan and gambling agreement was handed over to Charles Koch, and he needed to help us convince the other party. At the same time, I told the other party that my estimate of the value of this 5% stake in 2000 was $6 billion, but I could only guarantee 3 billion. ”

"Do you mean that Wild Bank lent $300 million to Mountainside Technology at a low interest rate, and got the opportunity to invest $300 million in 5% of ICQ's shares, and can get 10 times the investment income in up to two years, and if the conditions are met, he needs to pay you another $300 million as a fine, and the Koch family does not need to pay the $300 million fine?"

"That's pretty much what it means, whether it's a fine or a share transfer fee, it's all the same, who told him to lose. Alas, who told me that I was short of money, or I wouldn't have played these terms. You must know that ICQ is the only instant messaging software on the market at present, and our promotion efforts are still very large.

When this wave of promotion is completed and we get more funds, I will inject capital into ICQ through Panda Capital, one purpose is to dilute the stake in the founding team, and the other purpose is to expand quickly and knock back possible competitors. At the same time, I will let ICQ publish the slogan of free forever, which I want to scare off some potential competitors by doing free forever and burning a lot of money. ”

"If it's free forever, how can ICQ make money?"

"Silly, how do you make money? Do you forget how I got all the 5 and 6 digit ICQ numbers? Remember, free is the most expensive. free, the biggest commercial killer of this century and the next. ”

"Why are you telling me this? You're not afraid of me... ”

"Don't be afraid, haha, you must know that it only took me 4 months to do everything I have now. Achu said that I am a king of mouths, yes, as long as I can speak, I can stand on top of the world. ”

"Achu asked me to be careful with you, let me not be fooled by you, just now you said that you are my Chinese lover, this is your fooling, right? ”

"Haha, the pronunciation is very pure. Flickering is based on an unfinishable thing, and I'm not, I really have the potential to be your lover, as long as we have been in contact for a long time, I will naturally enter your heart. I signed a gambling agreement, and in your opinion I'm a crazy person, and the stakes I'm probably high, and I'm gambling on my life. But in my opinion, I actually left myself a lot of room to maneuver.

For example, ICQ, I did not do my best to develop it, I still have a lot of careers, media and film and television, education and tourism, Internet and communications, these are all very important, all need funds to develop, otherwise once I miss the opportunity will lose the initiative, it will disrupt some of my layout, although there is still a way to make up for it, but after all, it is troublesome.

I still have a lot of ideas for ICQ, but I won't say more, I only mentioned two improvements to make ICQ dominant, I don't need to grow it, after all, I still have to use it to go public and make money. If I lose control of ICQ, there are many ways I can beat it. So, all the foolishness is based on me as a person, and this is my self-confidence, which is extremely powerful. ”

"Well, you're such a special person, someone like you is either a genius or a madman, but I'm willing to go crazy with you. ”

"Haha, I'm a good person, and I will never let down the people who trust me. ”

"Then I'll be waiting for you in Citigroup. ”

"Good!"
