Chapter 731 Investment Implementation (Part 2)

After receiving Guo Tailai's instructions, Lin Jiayi's heart sank, and she ignored Google's side for now, and simply let the two guys hang out for a while, so that they could calm down and calm down. Not satisfied with a valuation of 10 billion, is it too greedy?

Nasdaq still has a lot of companies worth investing in. The boss mentioned Apple, which is just a good time to check Apple's recent performance.

However, Lin Jiayi is actually very curious, why did Guo Tailai ask her to rest for half a month or a month before talking?

The boss asked her to take a vacation with pay, so of course Lin Jiayi was also happy. She is now a rich woman with a net worth of several million dollars, and there are a bunch of classmates in the United States. It is just this time to catch up with the classmates, talk about the experience after graduation, and learn some latest news by the way, maybe one of them is A project worth investing in.

I just had a break and played for more than a week. On March 10, the Nasdaq index hit a record high of 5048.62 points, and then the stock market began to plummet.

The entire Nasdaq began a panic sell-off, countless investors lost their money, and Wall Street could hear news of jumping off buildings from time to time. The sudden change, not to mention all the investors, even Lin Jiayi was shocked.

Fortunately, I listened to the boss's words and played around first, and didn't invest the little money I and Mi Feifei earned last year. Otherwise, wouldn't I lose everything in a few days? While rejoicing, Lin Jiayi suddenly had a feeling of gloating in her misfortune.

Can Larry Page and Sergey Brin maintain their confidence and pride now? Will he still have such confidence when facing Lin Jiayi's re-bid again?

Seeing the development of the situation, Lin Jiayi endured for another week before contacting Google again. This time, the two founders of Google did as Lin Jiayi expected, no longer arrogant, but very enthusiastic about seeking investment.

It will be much easier when we talk again. But obviously, it was impossible for Lin Jiayi to shout out a valuation of 10 billion to them, and she directly discounted it by 40%. The valuation of 6 billion U.S. dollars was actually very close to their psychological price. However, what Guo Tailai wants is 5% of the shares that cannot be diluted before listing, so the price will naturally have to be renegotiated.

Seeing the Nasdaq falling day by day, Lin Jiayi let go and increased the valuation by one billion. Without much hesitation, the two founders decided to sell 5% of the shares at this valuation .

This is a big step forward for Google. You know, just last year, in 1999, Google raised more than 20 million U.S. dollars. Only one year later, Guo Tailai was willing to hold 5% of their non-dilutable shares at a valuation of 7 billion and sell the pre-IPO shares The voting rights were entrusted to Larry Page. This is by no means a failure, but a success. It is an upward trend against the market.

"In addition to the 5% non-dilutable shares of 350 million US dollars, there are also 5% dilutable shares, and this part of the stock price is 150 million." Lin Jiayi immediately reported to Guo Tailai: "Boss Do you think they are cheap? At the beginning, they are not willing to give them 500 million as long as 5%, but now they have to give 10%."

Guo Tailai smiled, who would have expected such a thing? If Guo Tailai hadn't had a future dream for reference, who would have known that a stock market crash would happen?

After all, Guo Tailai is not a very greedy person in essence, and he is not a qualified investor. Otherwise, he should follow the normal investment methods, angel round, A round, and start with a small price to get 100% Thirty to forty is no problem, no matter how diluted it is in the end, it can be kept to ten to five percent, and it can make a fortune in the process. Such an undilutable five percent of direct investment is actually quite wasteful.

But Guo Tailai was content, he didn't even think about earning all the money in this world, as long as he had enough to spend. This money is enough to support Guo Tailai's future life and research, not to mention, Guo Tailai also has a unique skill in beauty, no matter how poor and destitute, it is worst to make a casual move of hundreds of thousands.

"Did I tell them my conditions?" Guo Tailai asked on the phone.

"I said it." Lin Jiayi replied with a smile: "Their expressions at that time were very exciting."

Guo Tailai’s acquisition of Google’s shares also came with a small condition, that is, in the future, no matter what language you search for on Google, if you use the two keywords “Guo Tailai” and “Zhengyifang Beauty Salon”, you will not be able to find any results. The search results appear. Guo Tailai knows how crazy the Internet self-media will be in the future. At that time, it is inevitable that there will be sky-high nursing programs at Zhengyifang Beauty Salon on the Internet. Guo Tailai does not want to be harassed or criticized on the Internet. Better to save some hassle.

Now in this world, when everyone wants to spread their reputation to the world, Guo Tailai actually does the opposite. It is estimated that the two founders of Google cannot understand. However, this requirement is very easy to implement. One is that when their network ants crawl the network, they will not include the web pages containing these two keywords. The other is that when querying the database, the SQL query statement removes Results containing these two keywords are discarded. There is absolutely no need to refuse a few lines of code or a small request from a shareholder holding 10% of the shares.

"Good job." Guo Tailai's bottom line, even if more than 900 million US dollars is invested in Google, it is not a loss. Now that he only used half of the funds but got twice the shares, Lin Jiayi has undoubtedly done a good job.

Lin Jiayi didn't take the credit this time, and directly rejected Guo Tailai's compliment with a wry smile on the phone: "Boss, this time you have a unique vision and the right timing. I didn't do much. Also, the rest of the money , how to invest?"

"Wait for a while to see how much the valuation will drop." Guo Tailai still insisted on the investment direction he had set before: "After a while, you can buy the bottom of Apple. Well, it seems that Amazon may also consider buying the bottom. In addition, several large domestic websites , Sina and NetEase can wait and see, the stock market crash is estimated to cause heavy losses, and holding some at the right time should be enough.”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Lin Jiayi agreed, and quickly entered the working state.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Tailai suddenly felt unreal. In the future, even if Google is not the company with the highest market capitalization, it will still have more than 700 billion US dollars, and 5% will be more than 35 billion. Well, if you add Apple and Amazon, put it on for more than ten years, it will be tens of billions! This is not counting the shares of Alibaba and Penguin, it seems that now I can lie down and play without counting money.
