Chapter 126

[126] The next jab is Straight 1 "What?"

"What did you just say?"

I just smiled at the two people who did not know exactly.

"You two are lucky. I am really greedy this time. "

I did not know the English language and laughed as I watched as I hesitated to say what I wanted to say.

"Now, how about this?"

The two sat close to me.

"I will invest up to $ 30 million sequentially. If it is necessary to invest again after that, is the size of the company already huge, or have you forgotten your money, or is it not one of them? "

The latter is another word meaning that it has collapsed. If Google is broken, something is wrong, not that their algorithm is wrong.

"If the size of the market grows and additional investment is needed, many investors will come and go. Take their funding. In good condition. "

"Wait, Howard. I have an … Would you listen to me, please? "

The alarm of the first $ 30 million has already disappeared. It is a difficult question to understand.

"anytime. Talk to me. "

The two exchanged their eyes and opened their mouths carefully.

"If you need more funding because of the bigger size, the company is getting better. Why stop investing? Did you say that money is enough? "

"I get money from several places. Are not they people with a lot of experience in investment? They are those who witnessed Silicon Valley's many successes and failures. Additional funding means that their advice is needed. Do not stay away from those who nag you. They are people who will pour out words like gems. "

I would not have heard of this. It's the investors' interference that engineers hate the most.

"But do not throw away the values ​​of both of you. The goal will change little by little as the company grows, but you do not want to do anything that can shake your values? "

"Okay, so in the latter case? When our business is down, is there a condition for paying back money? "

"Then I will start pouring money until I start again and succeed. If you need 100 million or even 1 billion dollars. Why not? Did you answer? "

It was a great answer. The waves of impression were flowing in the expression of two people.

"Howard, you really believe our Google will succeed."

'Do not say that you do not know. Google will surely succeed, and the fourth industrial revolution will begin. "I could not throw it out, but I nodded my head.

"I knew your heart enough. But because investment can not be done with abstract faith … . Can you tell me the specific number? "

The names of the two are still a bit confusing. Both can be distinguished by the appearance of a dark brown hair. Is the more handsome guy Sergey of Russia?

"All right, Sergei. As you already know, I have no intention of voting. The voting rights as much as the amount that I have will let two people to act jointly. And I want an average stake of two people in return for $ 30 million to invest. "

Two people blinked as they looked at each other.

What… I do not know if you two will share the same forever … Well, you did not make a vow like that, did you? Not a child? "

The founder is also the United States. Co-founders can also make a stakeholder gap at any time, depending on their circumstances. Is not this a capitalist heaven?

Fortunately, there seems to have never been such a childlike oath. Instead of an average, I accepted it as the word co.

"So the departure is to make the three of us share the same share?"

"right. Two people have hair, I have money. Sounds fair? "

The two men fell out of their hands.

"It 's not fair, Howard. If you invest that much, you will be stupid if you do not accept 50%. "

Sy! It would not be too much to ask us to buy us for $ 30 million. "

"Yes. So keep my share in the future. Whether it is a paid – up capital increase or a free capital increase. I always keep the average of two people. "

Sergei suddenly reached out his hand.

"Let's finish the deal before it changes."

"I'll make a contract tomorrow. And with a million dollars. "

I laughed and grabbed his hand.

And they drank beer while listening to the internet world they dream of. Yet, innovative ideas like Google Earth, maps, translations, Gutenberg projects, artificial intelligence, and autonomous navigation are not coming out.

This is because it is a result of fusion with various genius services to be followed up not only by oneself.

I had a lot of talk until dawn and got up from my seat.

"Here is the New York office, the Korean office, and my personal phone. Please contact me whenever you need. "

They took my business card and did not hide their surprise.

"You were Korean?"

What? Did you think it was Japan? "

No. I used Hong Kong as my surname. "

I left two people who would not sleep tonight in the garage and came out.

I refused to take him to a nearby motel. I wanted to walk slowly and enjoy a cool night.

When I moved my foot, I heard a shout from behind.

Hay Are you really twenty years old? "

* * * I did not even look at the contract.

The two founders of Google began pounding each other 's cheeks as they watched a million – dollar check back and forth.

"Are not you wrong this time?"

Rachel, who had flown to the residential garage of the Silicon Valley from the morning, got a contract, prepared a check.

It's no wonder that those who look like dumb-and-dumer are not going to be the owners of a company that is outspoken by Microsoft and boasts the world's best market cap.

"Believe me. This is not just about making money with stocks. It is the moment when the protagonist who opens the new world shows such a ridiculous appearance in front of our eyes. "

No matter how loud I sound, Rachel shook her head and sighed.

"It's you who told me to get out of the dot-com business. Are they different? "

"Did you tell me? In 2000, the dot com business line collapses. These kids are the bubbling Silicon Valley volleyballs. Look forward to it. The guys who show up from now on are real. The scammers are the ones who fill the place where they are gone. "

Still, she could not stop sighing and yelling at her desk.

"You Guys! The check is real. Rather check the contract and sign it. I am not a leisurely person to watch as you play! "

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Sergey and Larry hurriedly put the check in the drawer and faxed the contract somewhere.

-Hey! The contents of the contract are basic that no third party should look at. Where do you send it? "

When Rachel was amazed, the two of them said with a smile.

"Do not worry. I'm a lawyer at the School Entrepreneurship Support Center. We are lawyers who check everything until we sign a separate law firm. These lawyers know better about confidentiality. "

It is also Stanford.

Supports the lack of support for students' start-ups.

Rachel grabbed my hand and came out of the garage.

Howard Amazon.com at the meeting. Why are not you investing here? I told you it was promising. You seem to be more certain. "

"Of course, the company is worth a lot of potential."

By the way…

"I ran toward a relationship with geniuses rather than making money from rising stock prices. Amazon's business structure is not helping me anyway. "

"So now you're giving up your return on investment?"

I shook my head when Rachel asked with an uneasy eye.

"In order to make money, do you have to invest only in stocks? There are many better places. "

"What is it?"

"When the dot-com bubble bursts, think about where the money will go. The demons of Wall Street can not afford to lose money. "

"Dot-com next goal?"

When Rachel woke her head, she heard a call from the garage.

"I'll sign it right now. The school attorney saw hundreds of Silicon Valley contracts, but this is the first such unconventional contract? It is a sanctification to sign unconditionally. "

"Our Howard is innocently bigger than the original. You've met a real angel. "

There was no time for a party as a commemoration of being Google's first investor.

"Let's go back soon. By now your father will have finished the meeting with DreamWorks. I am curious about the result and can not wait any longer. "

The eyes of two people who heard Rachel's words grew bigger.

"De, DreamWorks?"

Howard Do you even invest in Hollywood? "

I was glad for both of them.

"Be sure to save Ryan. I'm 35% invested. Haha

Rachel also took another word.

"Give me a rumor after three million dollars. If Miracle has invested in it, investors will make up their minds. We are a symbol of unbreakable myth on Wall Street. "

When I returned to LA, my father took me to Santa Monica Beach. Take the Rolls Royce that the hotel offers.

"Why suddenly the beach? It's getting hot and dying … "

"Let's talk quietly. I have a lot to ask. "

I sat down on the sandy beach with a bottle of cool beer.

"Did you talk well with DreamWorks?"

"The atmosphere was good. They also showed a positive response. "

But why is my father 's expression hardened?

"Did you ask for anything unusual in DreamWorks?"

Herd Well I asked for the right thing, but it's not correct for me. "

any

"I want to build an Asian distribution network except the Middle East."

"Sure you are." It is a natural demand. "

Half of the film is retail. The three masterpieces of Dreamworks are not stupid enough to be able to overpay because of the money.

"I heard that $ 500 million is the amount of money that goes into Asian distribution rights. However, to build a proper distribution network and expand into the second platform business, astronomical money also enters. The problem is that if you are mistaken, you will eat that money for a while. "

Perhaps the father would have started much more lightly if the investor was not his son. Investors are always destined to live with the risk of losing.

But the disgrace of a father who blew his son 's money is more than the stupid son who blew his father' s money.

This fear catches on Father 's ankle.

"If you do not have the confidence to succeed, you can quit. But do not think that you can not because the investor is a son. Money does not have a name tag. It's my money and it's a good thing to be more cautious. "

"It's going to be pretty big."

"I still have a lot of money. I will continue to earn from now on. Do not worry about money. "

"That money is preparing for a big deal. How much money do you need to win a Sunyang group?

Oh, I'm a bit nervous when it comes out too plain. Why is the story going in this direction?

"There is a lot of money that can not be bought."

"Thinking about it. It is not a governance structure that takes control of the stock market by buying stocks in the stock market. "

You must take away what you can not afford with money. Money is the minimum weapon you need to take away.
