Stanford University, located in the San Francisco area and close to Silicon Valley, is a world-renowned private research university, ranked among the top ten in the world. It has trained many Nobel Prize winners and many business elites.
These business elites include the founders of Hewlett-Packard, Yahu, Nike, Logitech, Firefox, Cisco, Yibai and other companies, and have also trained many world-class business executives.
Today, Feng Yu is here to meet two geniuses that he admires very much, geniuses in network technology.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, in their previous lives, created the world-famous Guge and the world's largest search engine company.
Larry Page did not see the value of this search technology at this time. He discussed with Sergey and planned to sell this technology to Yahu for one million dollars. The founder of Yahu was an alumnus of theirs. Senior brother
Sergey was still hesitant, thinking this was a good opportunity to start his own business. Although they couldn't even come up with $10,000 at this time, they could find someone to invest.
The flyers Feng Yu had people distribute at Stanford University worked. He expressed his willingness to consider investing in any enterprise as long as someone could convince him.
After Sergey found out, he persuaded Larry to give up his plan to sell the technology and called someone to inspect and invest in their research.
Feng Yu had long asked Ralph to pay attention to these two names. After knowing that Sergey called, Feng Yu asked Ralph to tell him that he would personally come to inspect the technology of the two researchers. If he was interested, then He can consider investment or acquisition.
Today, the two of them were waiting for the inspection of Feng Yu, the world's top rich man, at the agreed-upon restaurant near the campus. They were even a little nervous, fearing that their skills would not be favored.
When Feng Yu arrived at the restaurant, he was surrounded by eight bodyguards, which attracted everyone's attention. They were all curious, who went out with so many bodyguards? Is he a big star? But look at it, why does it look like an Asian face? Could it be that he is a Kung Fu superstar from Asia like Bruce Lee
Feng Yu accepted an exclusive interview with Forbes, but did not agree to publish the photos. Although some newspapers later published Feng Yu's photos, the circulation was not particularly large and not many people paid attention, so these people did not I don’t know Feng Yu.
In the corner of the restaurant, two young men with messy hair and thick beards were sitting. When these two young people saw several tall and powerful bodyguards standing in front of them, they both showed nervous expressions. look.
"Larry Page, Sergey Brin?" Feng Yu asked.
"It's us, are you?"
The bodyguard pulled out the chair and Feng Yu sat down: "I am Feng, the person who may invest in your research. Shh~~ don't get too excited."
Feng Yu looked at the two geniuses in front of him, and he had to say that at this time, the two men still looked similar. They both had a little curly hair and beards. Although they were both wearing suits and ties, they still looked a bit sloppy!
But it doesn't matter. What Feng Yu wants is their brains and skills, image and so on, it doesn't matter.
When the two saw Feng Yu, they were excited and wanted to stand up, but were directed by Feng Yu's gesture to sit down again and tried hard to suppress their excitement.
"Mr. Feng, our technology is a search engine technology that uses a calculation method we invented to rank web pages..." Larry Page couldn't wait to start talking, and he had a tendency to talk endlessly.
To be honest, Feng Yu couldn't understand a lot of what Larry Page said. He was too professional. And Feng Yu doesn’t need to understand at all. He is here to invest, not to conduct research on his own.
"Wait a minute, Larry, Sergey, I'm not a scientist or an engineer. I don't understand what you're talking about." Feng Yu took a look and didn't interrupt, I'm afraid Larry Page could say For an hour, Sergey was still making additions from time to time.
Both Larry and Sergey were a little embarrassed, and they began to feel a little at a loss. Does this mean that the other party did not intend to invest in their search engine technology
Larry Page was better off. He originally planned to sell this technology. If Feng Yu didn't invest, he was going to find Yahoo's seniors. But Sergey Brin wanted to continue to improve this technology and start a business based on it.
"Mr. Feng, our technology is really promising. It allows people to search for the web pages they want faster, which greatly facilitates users and greatly increases the traffic of the website..."
Feng Yu waved his hand: "Larry, don't panic. Although I don't understand your technology, a little investment is nothing to me. I want to know now what you two mean by planning to sell Do you want to get rid of this technology, or do you want me to invest so that you can continue to improve this technology?”
Larry wanted to complete his studies and he tended to sell technology, while Sergey wanted people to invest.
Larry asked tentatively: "Mr. Feng, if it is sold, how much money do you plan to give us? If it is invested, how will the profits be distributed?"
"If you plan to sell this technology, then I can give you a high price of one million US dollars. I don't think anyone can offer this price except me."
Before Feng Yu had finished speaking, Larry wanted to agree. One million dollars. After he and Sergey split it, everyone would have money. They could finish their studies first and start their own businesses in the future.
But thinking about Sergey, he knew that Sergey definitely wanted to hear the investment plan.
"If it is an investment, I will first invest 10 million US dollars to establish a company and give each of you 5% of the technology shares. You will be responsible for leading people to continue to improve the search engine technology. If the company needs more funds for development, , it’s up to me to solve it, as long as I can see the future, even if I invest 100 million US dollars, it’s no problem, and it won’t dilute your equity, but the relevant technologies developed in the future will belong to the company!”
Larry's eyes widened. Even a fool knew which option to choose. The second option, although it required some hard work on their part, was equivalent to each of them receiving half a million dollars, but in the form of shares.
What's important is that Feng Yu said later that if more funds are needed, Feng Yu will solve it without diluting their equity. This means that as long as they can achieve results that satisfy Feng Yu, the value of their shares will increase tenfold!
As for future technologies, all belong to the company, of course they have no objection. They are also shareholders of the company.
This time, before Larry could speak, Sergey said loudly: "Let's choose the second option!"
Feng Yu also knew that normal people would choose the second option. Talents are rare. He paid 10% of the shares, but he didn't feel a loss. On the contrary, the talents of these two people would bring him hundreds of times profit.
"Then we have agreed. This is the contract. Take a look at it and sign it. You will be the co-founders of this ancient song company. Guge is 10 raised to the hundredth power, which represents the number of times we search for data. Huge, I believe we will be able to create an amazing company!"
