Vol 3 Chapter 178: Big surprise

"Okay, I'm very happy," Feng Yiping was very happy, actually making a decision so quickly.

According to Page, Google has agreed to accept his investment. Although this is too smooth, he can't help but think about the reasons behind, but regardless of it, consent is good. There is nothing more happier than this.

It should be said that he really happened to choose a very suitable time when he made a mistake.

Peppa and Brin could agree so quickly that in addition to eagerly hope that the company they founded could grow faster, they also have the consideration to consolidate their control with the help of him and his funds.

Their worries are not redundant.

In Silicon Valley, it is not uncommon for capital to drive away the founders, such as Apple, Compaq, Cisco, etc., and Sequoia Capital is a veteran of these things.

What makes some founders even more chilling is that Sequoia and the others did this, but they got a lot of praise, thinking that they could not only find the right startup company, but also the most suitable professional manager.

In fact, objectively speaking, this is not wrong. For example, they found Schmidt for Google. His later experience proved that he was indeed a very good one.

So that is, if you wait until they and Schmidt get in touch, or when Google's revenue is higher and the benefits are good, you want to invest, not to mention doors, even windows!

For example, they accept investment from Sequoia Capital. In addition to capital and other conveniences, Sequoia has brought them real benefits. Sequoia allowed itself to invest a large amount in another company, Yahoo, to search for business. Give it to Google.

Accepting Feng Yiping's investment is not his money, but his forward-looking vision, which will bring great benefits to the company's development.

"Do you have Chinese food?" Feng Yiping, who was in a good mood, didn't want to go into these twists and turns, he asked with a smile.

"Yes. But not much," Peppa was equally happy, accepting Feng Yiping's investment, for him. It's also a good thing with multiple birds.

…………

To be fair, Google’s buffet at this time, although there are not so many dazzling choices later, is not like the later local tyrants who can eat high-end products such as lobster at very low prices. But it is definitely better than the taste of most domestic company canteens.

However, those who ate in their cafeteria for the first time are afraid that no one will carefully study the dishes and taste.

The restaurants with music that I usually go to are different from the company restaurants that are gentle and gentle. Google’s restaurant is very lively and very lively.

During working hours, engineers who are immersed in their own world take this opportunity to communicate with each other and are influenced and driven by the two founders. Many of their exchanges can be said to be arguing.

However, some high-pitched tones just show their enthusiasm for work. In it, you can clearly experience the kind of vitality. In the words of some leaders, this is a fighting team. It is easy to draw a conclusion afterwards that this is a promising company.

Except for the excitement. There is another feature here, that is, fast!

They eat fast and speak fast. That is to say, your mind is turning very quickly. As soon as you have said your point, and the rebuttal will follow, Feng Yiping thinks in a daze, this is not eating, this is especially during a debate. It comes with something to eat, and it's not a general debate, it's more like a thesis defense...

Peppa and Brin are the same. Feng Yiping really saw their usual way of getting along. In front of Feng Yiping, the two of them were arguing over a problem.

That was a very professional question. Feng Yiping didn't understand it well. However, there were two high-frequency words that he understood very well, "idiot" and "idiot".

These two words seem to be dedicated to the end of each sentence, similar to "over".

Seeing Feng Yiping a little surprised, Brin smiled and said, "You will get used to our state in the future,"

Page said, "We will often disagree with each other."

Brin immediately went on to say, "But we have no fundamental differences,"

Page, "In fact, our two ideas are often surprisingly consistent,"

Is this performing cross talk? Feng Yiping also took the sentence, "It can be seen that sometimes your opinions are so consistent that they will scare others."

"Hehe, right, we think so too," the two good friends looked at each other and laughed.

Anyway, after only having a meal here, Feng Yiping felt that the canteens of his company are too far apart from this. How many brilliant ideas can I get after a meal here?

…………

"Is it strange, why are the desks and chairs in the company inconsistent in specifications?" Page asked with a smile when he went to their office after dinner.

"When we moved here to work, just in time for the bubble burst and a large number of companies closed down, the office equipment you saw was purchased from those companies that failed," Brin explained.

"It's such a coincidence?" Feng Yiping said, "Back then, my company happened to have a few senior executives here on business. The current small software company was established at that time. When I returned, I urged them to lower the price. Acquired office equipment in two containers, mainly computers and printers,"

"Hehe, what do you say? The hero sees the same thing," Page smiled.

Brin pushed open a glass door. It was a compartment measuring more than a dozen square meters, with a long workbench against the wall. "This is our office. It will be allocated to you in the future. It is estimated that there will not be much space. ."

"It's pretty good," Feng Yiping said. "I started my business in my freshman year. It wasn't until my sophomore year, last year, that I finally had my own office."

The small office remodeled in the storage room during his freshman year was subconsciously excluded.

"You never worked in a garage," Page sat down, "Feng, Brin and I welcome your investment. We just discussed and accepted your 150 million US dollars investment, accounting for 15% of the shares. ,how is it?"

He was still that quick-witted, and after a few gossips, he threw out the topic.

Although we have to wait for financial accounting, the main decision-making power is still in the hands of Page and Brin. For example, what is the current valuation of the company and how much share can be allocated to Feng Yiping?

The plan he said was the result of repeated discussions with Brin.

Feng Yiping was silent for a while, and Brin asked, "Do you think the valuation is too high? We think this should be a relatively objective number. This year, we are confident that we will achieve at least 200 million in revenue."

Feng Yiping didn't speak, not because he didn't agree with this plan, but because he was excited! He thought that he could give himself 10% at most, but he gave 15%.

15% dear! When it goes public in 2004, how much will your 15% be worth? 2 billion dollars, or 3 billion dollars?

In short, it is estimated to be higher than the total market value of many listed companies. This is really a big surprise and a big surprise.

"This plan is very reasonable. I have no opinion. For me, it is the most important thing to work for a common goal with both of you."

Only then did Page and Brin relax. They really don't want to lose partners like Feng Yiping who know the future of this industry better than anyone else.

Brin poured three cups of coffee, "I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Please rest assured, both of you. In the board of directors, I will always be consistent with you and be a strong backing," Feng Yiping proactively stated.

Feng Yiping's statement was also what Page and the others hoped for.

The self-founded company ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has grown from the valuation of 75 million in the first round of financing to the current 1 billion. It is the result of their dedication and the crystallization of their hard work. Naturally, they don't want to leave power.

"Haha, then we must have always been the majority, come and do it!"

"Actually, I personally have another proposal. In order for the company to develop better and faster, the more sufficient funds are, the better. I am currently in a good financial position. In China, I also have a car website and an express hotel. I am planning Listed on the Nasdaq, relatively speaking, the funds are relatively abundant.

If the company needs it, I am willing to continue to invest in the name of the investment company based on this valuation. Of course, in order not to affect the structure of the board of directors, I will give up voting rights for this part of the investment. At the same time, I promise that in order not to affect the possibility after listing Strategic cooperation and incentives for new employees in the future. I will sell the shares of this part of the investment after the ban on listing is lifted, or the company may choose to buy back.

In short, my starting point is, no matter now or in the future, I hope to contribute more to the company. "
