Chapter 238

When Jeff Hawkins saw Henry frown, he felt nervous and asked carefully, "Mr. Williams, is nine inches still big?"

Henry nodded and said, "yes, I think it's still very big. As for how big is appropriate? I think it's best to put it in the shirt pocket so that it can be carried conveniently! "

"Put it in your pocket!"!!! Oh, Mr. Williams, if you want to make it so small, I'm afraid many functions will have to be deleted... "Jeff Hawkins said in amazement.

"Just delete it. It's no big deal. Your product positioning is right, but it does not take into account the market demand. First of all, the nine inch PDA itself is not convenient to carry, and then there are many functions that are not necessary! For example, the product does not need to be connected to the Internet. Now there is no wireless network. Can you imagine how bad it is to hold a handheld computer in one hand and hold a long cable behind it? In my opinion, the browser and e-mail are redundant. Just a USB interface is needed. Data can flow with the computer through the USB interface.... "

Jeff Hawkins was red faced by Henry.

Henry looked at him and said gently: "although there are these or those shortcomings, they are still good on the whole! Well... Tell me, how much do you plan to invest? "

Jeff Hawkins and Robert can't help but look at each other. At this time, Robert quietly raises a finger to Jeff Hawkins and reminds him to ask for a million dollars! Jeff Hawkins nodded to him, then looked at Henry and said, "Mr. Williams, we need a million dollars!"

When Henry heard that he wanted only one million dollars, he laughed and said, "what can one million dollars develop? Well, I'll invest five million dollars! "

On hearing this, both Jeff Hawkins and Robert were shocked and speechless!

Henry looked at them and asked in surprise, "don't you want five million dollars?"

"Yes, we do!" Robert said quickly, then winked at Jeff Hawkins and asked him to agree.

Henry nodded to Robert and turned to Jeff Hawkins. "Mr. Robert thinks so. How about you, Mr. Jeff Hawkins?"

One million dollars is used to develop products, which is very difficult. Naturally, the more money, the better. Jeff Hawkins has no reason to refuse. When Henry asked him, he immediately nodded and replied, "Oh, of course, no problem! In this way, we have enough money to develop our products! "

"Well, in that case, let's talk about the issue of equity distribution!" Henry said slowly, "as far as I know, Palm Computing's registered capital is $500000, and the company currently has six engineers!"

"Yes, Mr. Williams, you know our company very well!"

"I don't know very well. I just asked people to investigate! In addition, I would like to ask, "have you received any investment from other companies?"

"Not yet... Oh, it's not that there's no company at all. Yesterday, Bruce donnaway venture capital promised to invest US $500000!" Jeff Hawkins suddenly remembered that a venture capital company promised to invest yesterday.

"Well, that's good. Then you can refuse this company. Palm Computing company has my investment!" Henry said faintly, but with a trace of overbearing and self-confidence in his tone.

Jeff Hawkins and Robert look at each other and nod to each other.

"No problem, Mr. Williams. We're going to turn down Bruce donnaway!" Jeff Hawkins promised Henry.

Henry nodded and said, "well, that's good. So... Based on my investment of five million dollars, how many shares should I get? "

Jeff Hawkins looks stagnant, regardless of other, just calculate the capital, Henry Williams at least occupies more than 90% of the shares! If so, I don't have many shares

Henry looked at Jeff Hawkins's slightly ugly face. He couldn't help laughing and asked, "ha ha, have you heard of the principle of my investment?"

"I've heard of..." Jeff Hawkins nodded. "It's said that the company you invest in, under normal circumstances, must get the absolute controlling interest!"

"Yes, it is. However, as you may not know, my investment always focuses on the team rather than the project. I think this team is good, so I'm willing to invest in it! " Henry said to Jeff Hawkins with a smile, "in fact, I firmly believe that only a good team can make a good project!"

When Jeff Hawkins heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little happy and proud. "Since Mr. Williams is willing to invest in us, does it mean that we have a good team in Palm Computing?"

"Of course Henry smiles, "so, although I invested five million dollars, I only need 75% of the shares, and the remaining 25% is for this team!"!!! Jeff Hawkins and Mr. Robert, you can think about it. What do you think of my offer! "“ There is a single room next to it. If you need to discuss it separately, you may as well go in! " Henry said, pointing in one direction with his right hand, where there was a door.

"Thank you, Mr. Williams. We really need to discuss it separately." Said Jeff Hawkins.

……

……

"What do you think, Robert? If you agree to Henry Williams's terms, he is the largest shareholder of the company, and he is also the absolute controlling shareholder. In the future, the company is what he says Asked Jeff Hawkins.

"Oh, Jeff Hawkins, I'm just a small shareholder. You have to make up your mind!" Robert said, "but you know how busy Henry Williams is. He won't run the company himself!"

When Jeff Hawkins heard this, he couldn't help being silent.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had met Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ company, in front of the office. At this moment, his situation was so similar to the choice he was facing at the beginning! At that time, Henry Williams also wanted to get the absolute control of ICQ company, and ICQ company would have today's status and influence with the support of Henry Williams!

Tian Shuai can also become a billionaire!!!

There was a flash of firmness in Jeff Hawkins' eyes.

"Robert, I made up my mind!"

"What have you decided? Have you decided to agree to Henry Williams' terms? " Robert asked.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Oh, Jeff Hawkins, you should have done that! If Henry Williams invests in Palm Computing, he will be our boss!!! Oh, God, with the richest man in the world as our boss, how can I suddenly feel so proud! " Robert laughs and says to Jeff Hawkins, "Hawkins, you said that he became our boss, let him take a picture with us, sign a name or something, there should be no problem..."

Jeff Hawkins shook his head and gave him a silent look. Then they went out of the single room and came to Henry's office.

"How are you thinking?" Henry asked with a smile

"Mr. Williams, we've decided to agree to your terms!" Jeff Hawkins replied.

"Very good, Mr. Jeff Hawkins. Your decision will change your life!"
