Text Chapter 1199: Inspection and Negotiation

The legs are not easy to use, and Zhou Jiexi didn't want to be a wheelchair during the meeting, so he walked with a cane after getting out of the car. "Damn it, I will come here in person this time. If they turn a blind eye to this kind of sincerity, I will do them."

After getting out of the car, Zhou Jiexi secretly thought, if it weren't for the more than 19 billion US dollars, he wouldn't engage in this trick of looking around the cottage. No matter what, you have to get big and let them come to you.

If others can become bigger and stronger, they must have their uniqueness. Creativity in the IT industry is important, but operations cannot be ignored. Otherwise, why did Yahoo mess up so badly!

Coming to Mountain View, this is a small city, which is actually similar to domestic counties. Zhou Jiexi is standing at the door of their company now. The two people over there are the founder of Whatsapp, the company's CEO Koum, and Akton, who co-founded him.

Zhou Jiexi greeted them with a smile, and the surrounding security personnel moved forward. Put up a safety net to keep him safe.

The two people over there had already received news that the boss of Blue Sky Capital would communicate with them to discuss financing. This was originally a tactic to test sincerity and stall for some time. Unexpectedly, people really came in person.

There are more than 50 employees in the company building behind the two of them. At this time, there is another employee who is not from this company. He looks at the group of people outside with a bad face.

"This guy, didn't you say you broke your leg yesterday? Can you still come here today?" Jim Gitz frowned.

The two people outside were whispering a few words, and after seeing Zhou Jiexi's smile, they also walked over to meet him. "I didn't expect Jesse Zhou to come. I thought he would ignore our suggestion." Koum said in a low voice, still walking.

"Capital interests will make rich people who are sick and lying in bed full of vitality. This is a capitalist." Acton also whispered. "He is a capitalist first, and then an IT worker."

"What do you think, should we accept financing from Blue Sky Capital, or Jim Gitz from Sequoia Capital?"

"Comparatively speaking, Blue Sky Capital may not be as good as Sequoia Capital, but their investment in the IT industry is obvious to all. This aspect will help us even more. After all, we don't need to think about things after the listing, which is the next few rounds of financing. It needs to be considered," Acton said.

"Blue Sky Capital?" Colm asked again.

"Let's communicate first! After all, compared to them, our company is just a small nosy." Acton can better complement Koum in business, so his suggestion in this regard is very important.

Zhou Jiexi walked a little slowly on crutches, and this scene moved the two of them a little. I didn't expect him to come here even when he was injured. He really deserves to be a capitalist who wants money but not life.

If Zhou Jiexi knew that the two of them thought so, he would definitely kill them. Shouldn't this picture be touching or honoring?

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, it's a great honor for you to come to my whatsapp company." Jim stretched out his hand first.

"Ha ha...thank you." Zhou Jiexi said with a smile, he looked left and right, and then said to them: "The environment in Mountain View City is very good, this is indeed a good starting point for your career."

Then the two shook hands, and Zhou Jiexi said, "In the future, maybe you can consider talking about our whatsapp company. I came here with sincerity."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Koum didn't answer right away, but first introduced the co-founder next to him. "This is my partner, Acton."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou," Acton greeted him.

Zhou Jiexi was disappointed in his heart, he didn't expect that this little trick would fail if it was useless. It seems that Koum still has the ability to do business.

"Hello." Zhou Jiexi smiled at him too.

"As for the financing of Blue Sky Capital, how about we enter the company and discuss it?" Acton said.

"Of course, no problem." Zhou Jiexi said.

Then several people entered the company together. When passing by the front desk, Zhou Jiexi took a look at it, but was a little disappointed. The lady at the front desk is really not very good looking.

On the way, Jessie Zhou talked about whatsapp he knew. He didn't say anything good, but just discussed their current version and market.

After entering, Zhou Jiexi saw an acquaintance. Jim Gitz, the co-founder of Sequoia Capital, is a fox who can smell gold coins from afar.

"Hey, Jim, I didn't expect to see you here. Dude, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Have you had a bad stomach recently?" Zhou Jiexi opened his arms, wanting to go up and hug him. It looks so familiar.

But he put on a posture, but the person didn't move, as if he was waiting for someone to come forward. Jim is not an idiot either. Everyone must have seen him on crutches and injured his foot. How could it be possible for him to say he didn't see it.

In order not to leave the impression of being petty, he had no choice but to take two steps forward to hug him. This is the first time to lose in momentum, but compared to losing character, this can be regained.

"This bastard, I don't know if he knew I was coming, so he broke his leg on purpose! What a disgusting leech." Jim thought to himself, and went up to hug Jiexi Zhou.

The interaction between the two surprised Colm and Acton, who thought they were really good friends, and they seemed to have a good relationship. Just now I was thinking about whether I can make a profit, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

But it's okay, they don't really need the funds of venture capital institutions. In this regard, people from Sequoia Capital came to them, and the same goes for Blue Sky Capital. They came here on their own initiative, not what they needed to find.

Zhou Jiexi didn't have the heart to waste money with Jim, the best thing in his heart was to send people away, and he tried to spend money on these two young people this time. Don't need too many shares, if he can get 20% or even more shares, he will be satisfied.

After more than three years, he will be able to get a return of 6 billion. Is there any more profitable project than this? Zhou Jiexi doesn't know, anyway, now that he has the capital, investing in whats is definitely the most correct.

After Zhou Jiexi's words, Jim really left first. This is not the first time he has come here. Ever since he saw this project, he has been very moved and feels that there is a chance to bring in a lot of income. Capitalists never care about face in front of profits, so he has come many times.

Zhou Jiexi went into the conference room with the two people to discuss. Since he was willing to say that he would have something to talk about when he came, it definitely needed investment, and he just needed to go down to the next level first. After talking in the conference room for more than an hour, Zhou Jiexi gradually became impatient.

Seriously look at the two people "Okay. Guys, you have also listened to a lot of my opinions on whats, and now it's time to talk about financing. First of all, I need to remind you that the most important thing in the Internet age is speed."

"People's liking for the new and dislike the old has been magnified to the extreme on the Internet. Your company may have a good project. But before it reaches people's herd mentality, it is very likely to be eliminated at any time. Users, you have to have more users Only then can we guarantee our own advantage!"

"I didn't say this by myself. I believe you should know about Tom Cat, right?" Zhou Jiexi looked like he was asking, but he was actually just putting on a show. How could someone in this industry not know.

Sure enough, the two nodded. "It's a great project, and the ideas are very attractive!" Koum said to Zhou Jiexi with a look of admiration.

Acton said, "Tom Cat's business operation model is very good. It has been able to obtain profitable projects early on, and then even with fierce expansion and competition in the market, he can also be self-sufficient, especially in the competition with competitors. Great results have been achieved time and time again.”

Sure enough, people with different personalities look in different directions.

Zhou Jiexi nodded: "Now that you know, let me tell you that financing is imperative for any ambitious company. It should be because what you need to face is not only the existing opponents, but also the challenges that will always arise. The rising unknown opponent."

"If you don't strive to let more people know yourself when you are attractive, then there will be another software in the future to let everyone know yourself. What we have is only the temporary first, and a replacement will be given at any time. First......"

"So even if the finances are good, I will start the financing market for Tom Cat. I need more money, more advertisements, and more people to know about it. I want to beat my opponents, whether they are present or in the future. .Financing brings not only US dollars, but also a group of common interests.”

Zhou Jiexi had a lot of conversations with the two of them. The two of them still have some respect for this rich man who has experience in developing Tom Cat and financing. Now Tom Cat has a market value of 6 billion US dollars. What could be more convincing than this?

"Have you read our financing documents for the first phase?" Koum asked a little impatiently.

"Of course buddy, I've always been serious about projects worthy of attention!" Zhou Jiexi said with a smile. "However, I think your steps are still too light. Looking at you now, I can see that you have an excellent team. In this case, why don't you let you go faster and make everyone more cohesive? ?”

Zhou Jiexi looked at them: "Your five million can be seen, the idea is not bold enough. Five million is a lot, but it is not enough. In terms of publicity, he is not enough to consume it once."

"No, we use it to improve the hardware and improve the user experience, not to start advertising ourselves now!" Koum immediately retorted.

Zhou Jiexi nodded: "Okay, maybe this is just your idea, since that's the case, how about I tell you what I think?"
