Chapter 1405: Dispelling Doubts
Schmidt looked at the underwriters in the conference room who were originally very proud and felt that they had a chance to win. After hearing the news one after another, their faces became solemn. He felt secretly happy in his heart.
Haha, things are back on the right track. I think the subject and the guest are in different places, and you don't even care who you are facing.
When he walked out of the conference room, he felt very friendly to the looks on some people's faces.
Looking at those people's faces with "Why did things become like this?" or "I'm so sad, this is not the result I wanted", he couldn't help but smile on his face. So a little bit of sadness.
Where are you guys? To me, this kind of thing is completely normal.
Michael Moretz and John Doerr couldn't stop the smiles on their faces, but they didn't leave in a hurry and happily stayed to enjoy the fruits of victory for a while.
Although Sand Hill Road is known as the "Wall Street of the West," its influence in the country and the world is clearly far from that of authentic Wall Street.
This time, he can make these Wall Street guys bow their heads in front of him. Haha, these two guys who are kings on Sand Dune Road are really satisfied.
Hehe, at the beginning of the meeting, even senior financial figures like them had to bow to Andrew and David, but now, those arrogant guys had to wag their tails in front of them, like this Reversals are rare.
Michael glanced at John, and John nodded knowingly. This matter is worthy of a few drinks.
However, he pointed outside again, and Michael nodded. He had to call the Chinese young man. The reason why such a reversal happened was all because of him.
"David, Andrew, everyone," they walked through the crowd smiling, "see you at the next meeting,"
"Goodbye Michael, goodbye John," David said politely.
However, as soon as the two people went out, Andrew's expression changed immediately, "Old guy!" He said bitterly, and then sat down on the stool, "See, I have already said that these two people from Google Young people will not accept such a request,"
"How will you know if you don't try?" The person who answered him turned out to be David, who had a good impression of Feng Yiping. "It's not without results. At least, didn't we save everyone the burden?"
"Then our green shoe option is gone too?" Andrew said as if he had known this, why bother.
David shook his head, "It was also our mistake and we didn't take Mr. Feng into consideration."
"Yes, that Mr. Feng," many people nodded in agreement.
The situation was originally going well, but even the two unruly young people at Google couldn't control it. It was because of Mr. Feng that everything turned around.
…………
"Haha, I really want to see the expressions on their faces again," Brin couldn't help but laugh as soon as he turned the corner.
"These guys in suits," Page said, "are doing routine work, and they have the nerve to make many demands. We should have even asked for a lower fee just now,"
Wearing suits and doing work with almost automated processes inherited from decades ago, this is the impression that many entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley have on Wall Street people.
"Let's take it step by step," Feng Yiping said. "We'll wait until we have dealt with the troubles at hand."
"Yes, what they have suffered today is enough. If we ask for lower rates, I'm afraid those guys will really collapse," Brin said.
"Besides, it can't be said that those on Wall Street can't innovate. Look at the many dazzling products they have launched now," Feng Yiping said.
However, in terms of results, the current innovations of those Wall Street guys are really worse than nothing.
It was because of their current innovations that the crisis that swept the world four years later was triggered.
"Feng, thank you for your help," Page patted him on the shoulder, "What you just said really helped a lot,"
"I am also a member of Google," Feng Yiping laughed, "It's not what it should be."
"Besides, I really don't want to save myself. If there are stocks that cannot be sold by then, I really want to do this."
Paige's expression changed slightly.
Brin also asked, "Really mobilize your employees in China to buy our stocks?"
"Yes, I think our stock can generate high returns for them,"
What Feng Yiping said was really not a joke. He knew very well that after Google went public, its stock never fell below the issue price, and soon exceeded $400.
"But, it seems that it is not very convenient for Chinese investors to buy our stocks?" Brin asked these detailed questions.
"It's inconvenient, but it's easy for us to operate. I have an investment company in Hong Kong, and that company handles the operation for us. It's not convenient for us ordinary residents to exchange U.S. dollars, so the funds can be advanced by the company first,"
This is why Feng Yiping strongly believes that the company’s employees will buy Google stocks. The stocks are yours, and the company will help you advance the money. Coupled with his charisma and Google’s rising stock price, I am afraid that many employees will feel that 10 shares is too few.
"Of course, I think that through our efforts, this situation will not happen. If such a situation does happen, then there is a prerequisite for me to do these things,"
Feng Yiping looked at the two guys who had become somewhat silent and said, "Although I promise to buy all the unsold stocks, at least 80% of the voting rights of these stocks will be in your name. As for the other 20%, you know, I may have to sell it to some friends."
He knew that this was the reason why the two guys were silent now.
These two guys are good in other aspects, but there is one thing that cannot be touched, that is, the control of Google.
For their brothers, they can stick their swords in their ribs, and for Google, they can really stick their swords in their brothers.
"What does it matter," Page said immediately, "I am worried that this will cause you financial pressure."
It doesn't matter, why do you look so good now?
"Not at all, I have always been very conservative, always keeping sufficient cash reserves, plus NEXTDOOR, CoinStar, and Netflix, now bring me abundant cash flow every day, financially, I have no pressure at all,"
Influenced by his previous experience, Feng Yiping now pays special attention to cash flow, which is also a major reason why he first invested in convenience stores in China.
In the United States, it is no exception.
"Haha," Brin put his arm around their shoulders, "Can we say that we have now officially made the Western Wall Street and Wall Street surrender?"
"You're right, buddy. Congratulations," Feng Yiping turned around and high-fived him.
When introducing venture capital, they forced the "Western Wall Street", the representative of venture capitalists on Sand Hill Road, Michael Moritz of Sequoia and John Doerr of KPCB to accept their arrangements.
This IPO also made those guys on Wall Street who openly and secretly expressed resistance bow their heads. Such things are rare.
Such things are really worth being proud of-well, although the three of them have some lofty ideals, they are still three people who have not gotten rid of vulgar tastes.
"Let's get together tonight?" Page said.
"It's time to get together and celebrate," footsteps came from behind them. They looked back and saw Schmidt and the two people on Sand Hill Road hurriedly catching up. This was said by Doerr.
"Feng, thank you for your wonderful performance just now," the two took turns shaking Feng Yiping's hand to express their gratitude.
"It's just my job," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"I must express my gratitude," Michael Moritz shook his hand, "Today's meeting can be said to have cleared the biggest obstacle on the road to IPO, which is of great significance,"
"So, tonight, you choose the place, we will arrange it, and everyone can have a good gathering?"
"Let's go to the company," Feng Yiping and the other three said almost in unison.
Why am I so slow to react? Schmidt blamed himself for not keeping up.
"Haha, yes, the company is good. We have been preparing for so long and working hard for so long. It's time for everyone to relax. We will have people prepare now,"
"We have to prepare, because soon, I think you two will prepare to celebrate Feng's success again," Brin said.
"Oh?" Moritz and Durr's eyes lit up, "Tell me quickly, why?"
"Next time, it should be for the Chinese market,"
