Chapter 730 Investment Implementation (Part 1)

Lin Jiayi was very unhappy. After returning to work during the Spring Festival break, Lin Jiayi flew directly to the United States, found Google through her classmates, and began to negotiate financing and shareholding.

American start-up companies welcome financing and shareholding attitudes, which are sometimes completely different from China's corporate philosophy. However, Lin Jiayi's investment was not so smooth.

Now is the era when the global Internet tide is in full swing. Every start-up company is full of hope for its own prospects. Every entrepreneur feels that he is the next Bill Gates and the next Larry Ellison. My own company must be the next Microsoft, the next Oracle, and the next Cisco. Who would easily lower their valuation?

Even if Lin Jiayi directly asked for 200 million U.S. dollars, buying 5% of the other party's shares before going public would not dilute the shares, equivalent to a valuation of 4 billion U.S. dollars. The two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, did not agree either. They firmly believed that as long as their company went public, it would definitely perform better, have a crazier valuation, and a higher valuation. .

Of course, as for the negotiation, it is definitely not possible to negotiate it once. Google does not reject investment, Lin Jiayi also sincerely wants to invest, it is nothing more than a question of price, the two sides sit down and talk slowly!

In half a month, Lin Jiayi has raised the price from 200 million to 250 million, 300 million to 500 million, and it is estimated that the listing valuation has changed from 4 billion to 5 billion to 6 billion. When it reached 10 billion, the two still did not agree.

In fact, this is already the highest price given by investors who have contacted Google during this period. But Larry Page and Sergey Brin are full of confidence, still not satisfied with this valuation, and want more.

Guo Tailai’s base price for Lin Jiayi was that it doesn’t matter if all the more than 900 million U.S. dollars are invested, after all, it’s for nothing, and Guo Tailai can be sure that there will be some profit from the investment, but Lin Jiayi doesn’t think so. With a valuation close to 20 billion, what else does she need to do? Just send someone to take a check, and Google will definitely line up and down to call Dad.

Therefore, Lin Jiayi absolutely cannot allow this kind of thing to happen. She has to reflect her own value, and 500 million is the highest limit that can be paid. For this reason, Lin Jiayi can even entrust the voting rights of the shares held before listing to Larry. Page. But even so, the two of them still didn't nod, and they still had higher confidence than ten billion dollars.

"They don't take oil and salt." When Lin Jiayi reported the work progress to Guo Tailai on the phone at the end of February, there was nothing she could do with them. This kind of guy with inflated self-confidence and not giving in at all is the most troublesome. Is it based on Guo Tailai's reserve price?

"That's it!" Of course, Guo Tailai would not blame Lin Jiayi. Guo Tailai would only encourage employees who work hard for themselves and think of employees who can create the greatest value. After thinking about it, Guo Tailai seemed to remember some big events, but he didn't remember clearly: "Let's wait for half a month or a month to talk about it. Don't worry. You should take a vacation first. You were exhausted last year, so take more rest this year." .”

Guo Tailai also only vaguely had such an impression in the dream of the future. It seems that the Nasdaq crashed this year. I can’t remember the exact date, but it must be this year. Maybe it will be next month or the next month. Anyway, it will be the first half of the year. .

Just because he vaguely remembered the bubble collapse, Guo Tailai also specially told Mi Feifei to delay the evaluation of the entrepreneurial plans of those resigned entrepreneurial employees, and wait until the end of March and April to make a decision. A few talented people who want to start a business will change their minds! Of course, as long as the project has prospects, Guo Tailai is still willing to invest, it depends on their own decision.

When the Nasdaq crashes, Larry Page and Sergey Brin will not still have such strong self-confidence, and still insist on such a high valuation, right?

For Guo Tailai, this matter is not so righteous and indignant. In the final analysis, Guo Tailai is still using Google's car to earn some small investment money. If he persists, he will see how much he can buy with 900 million U.S. dollars. Anyway, it is 1% It's all earned.

After comforting Lin Jiayi who was bored for a while, Guo Tailai also put this matter behind her. Then I continued to pay attention to my own studio, until Professor Wang came over half a month later and went back to the capital to apply for the project.

With Guo Tailai's tip-off, the Gusu Industrial Park took advantage of what he knew beforehand. Director Lu also mobilized his own relationships to help the industrial park get the project off the ground. It is absolutely impossible to settle down.

Professor Wang of the project team started preparations, but Guo Tailai found that he seemed to have nothing to do in Gusu.

The decoration of the house is watched by the parents. Guo Tailai originally meant that Guo Jianjun and Ding Yumei only need to determine the style and drawings of the decoration, and professional supervisors can do the rest. Now, where can I let my son watch and rest assured?

Guo Tailai can't have any objections, what kind of professional supervision, isn't it just to see how to build a factory building? Can you keep an eye on residential decoration? Guo Tailai could only nod very, very seriously. Mom is right, isn’t she a supervisor who can only be responsible for a first-class studio with high precision, constant temperature, humidity, vibration and dust? Don't worry about using him, and mother has to come in person!

The operating system of the batch of machine tools in the studio is being revised and perfected by the second brother with several graduate students of Professor Wang, and it will take some time. Before it is perfected, Guo Tailai will definitely not be able to use these jobs, which means that in this small processing studio, only Guo Tailai's fitter work is left to do. It's a pity that there is no work in hand now.

There is nothing to interfere with Zhengyifang Technology. Although Mi Feifei doesn't know much about technology, his management is orderly and everything is normal.

Since Guo Tailai from the headquarters of the company said to throw it to Xiaohui, he should fully trust him. Anyway, Xiaohui will be able to handle it with the help of Brother Zhang Laohai behind him. Don’t worry at all, as long as it is completed according to the design with quality and quantity, it’s simple. .

The patent business of Christina Company is so busy that it usually goes along with Zhengyifang Technology’s daily arrangement, but no, I just received a big job, a bunch of patent registrations for small and medium machine tool structures.

Beauty salons are not open yet, so they can't be too ostentatious. However, Guo Tailai called Sister Lan and Xiaoyu to Gusu, and asked them to prepare an operation room here, so that they could take care of customers who could not be rejected.

When he was bored, Guo Tailai received a call from Lin Jiayi who was very pleasantly surprised: "Boss, Google has let go, 5% will not dilute the shares, 350 million U.S. dollars."
