Chapter 10 Investing in Google

Larry Page might have considered $80 million before the Nasdaq crisis, but it’s too tempting right now. And only need to pay 20% of voting stock. In this way, he and Sergey Brin can own at least 55% of the company’s voting shares and still control the company’s future.

“Bruce, the company is not mine alone, I need time to ask other investors for their opinions!”

After thinking for a moment, Larry Page did not immediately agree.

“No problem. However, when is the latest to give me an answer?”

“Three days at the latest!”

“Yes!” Guo Shouyun nodded, “I look forward to receiving good news from Senior Peggy!”

After he finished speaking, he got up and stretched out his right hand towards Larry Page.

“I also hope that we can reach a cooperation! … I will send you!”

After a simple handshake, Larry Page personally sent Guo Shouyun out of the company.

After watching the Stanford junior drive away, Larry Page returned to his office. Not surprisingly, Sergey Brin had already waited here in advance.

“How about it?”

Larry Page certainly understood what his friend was asking.

“$80 million, in exchange for 40% of Google’s shares, only half of the voting rights!”

“$80 million? Half the voting rights? You said yes?”

“not yet…!”

“Why don’t you agree? This condition is much better than Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and Ryan Capital! Moreover, the two of us can still get absolute control of the company.” Sergey Brin hurriedly said.

His character is different from Larry Page. Sergey Brin is similar to Martin Alexander next to Guo Shouyun. He is good at technology, but not good at company management. In fact, Larry Page is not very good at it, but with Google’s existing scale and strength, it is impossible to find the kind of top management talents who can lead Google forward with an annual salary of millions of dollars.

“Sergey, don’t you think 40% is too much? Even if we only need to pay half the voting rights?”

There was a hint of hesitation on Sergey Brin’s face.

“40% is a bit too much, but we have access to $80 million worth of money. Especially at a time when you and I both know what $80 million means to us. . . . Larry, now ‘Excite’ The largest search engine provider in the US, and we’re not yet!”

After listening to his friend’s words, Larry Brin’s wrinkled brows trembled involuntarily. He is of course aware of Google’s current situation. At first, they almost sold the company to Excite, but they didn’t negotiate because the other party’s price was too low.

“Our advertising business…?”

“Larry, you know, we’ve tried it before. Print ads will only make our user experience worse, we need time and money to support us in finding more effective marketing and business models!” Schell Guy Brin interrupted.

“Looks like we have to accept this investment!”

After thinking for a while, Larry Page sighed.

“Larry, we have absolute control over the company, that’s enough!”

The latter nodded, “Notify Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital of our decision. If they don’t inject capital, we will pay less shares.”

“I think they will definitely refuse!”

Sergey Brin said in a somewhat determined tone.

Thinking of the current situation in the Internet industry, Larry Page nodded in agreement.

Guo Shouyun is still very confident about the negotiations with Google. Not to mention his generous offer of 80 million US dollars, and until now, he still has a killer in his hand that has not been taken out. However, if this investment goes well, he is not ready to take it out at this time.

“If I could be reborn half a year earlier, I would be able to rebuild a Google myself, and I wouldn’t have to bother negotiating!” Guo Shouyun couldn’t help thinking.

“Jingle Bell…!”

Hearing the ringtone, he took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, Guo Shouyun pressed the answer button.

“Hey, Bruce, where are you now?”

Matta Lincoln’s voice rang on the phone.

“At the company. What, something?”

“Catherine is on the plane at 4:30 this afternoon. I can’t get away from something temporarily. Go pick her up. We’ll see you at the farm tonight!”

“Catherine is back today?”

“Well, United Airlines flight C186!”

“I see!”

“Don’t forget, you know Catherine’s temper, I don’t want to be taught by her!” Matta Lincoln said.

Guo Shouyun smiled, and he knew from the fusion of memories that Catherine Lincoln was an out-and-out tough girl. The boys at Guo’s Farm, including Bruce, were bullied a lot by her when they were young.

“Do not worry!”

After agreeing, Guo Shouyun looked at the time. Originally going back to work, he turned the wheel and headed for San Francisco International Airport.

As one of the top ten busiest airports in the world, hundreds of thousands of people travel from Los Angeles International Airport to the rest of the world every day. You can imagine the density of people here.

Guo Shouyun waited here for more than half an hour, and finally saw a tall, upper-middle-aged man in the crowd with short golden-yellow hair, a light brown tunic coat, black tight-fitting trousers and dark brown ladies leather shoes. The capable young girl came out dragging her suitcase.

Seeing Guo Shouyun, the girl walked straight over.

“Why didn’t that guy Mata come?”

Before she could speak, the girl handed the suitcase over to Guo Shouyun.

“He said the company has a job and can’t leave!”

“Let’s go!”

Catherine nodded, turned and walked outside the airport.

Looking at her back, a bitter look appeared on Guo Shouyun’s face. From Bruce’s memory, we know that this eldest lady is not a good servant.

“You got your MBA from Harvard Business School?”

On the way to Santa Rosa, Guo Shouyun took the initiative to find a topic to chat. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“Of course! Although this lady is not as good as your pervert, she is still an elite! A Harvard MBA is nothing more than a big thing.” Catherine rolled his eyes at him and said.

“Catherine, after all, we are all friends who grew up together. Don’t call me a pervert every time we meet?”

Guo Shouyun couldn’t help complaining.

Turning her head to look at the obviously mature face of the man beside her, and looking at him with her head tilted for a moment, Catherine smiled lightly.

“Look at your performance later!”

Guo Shouyun sighed in his heart. If it wasn’t to avoid acting too strangely and attracting suspicion, he would definitely fight for his own reputation.

“By the way, where do you plan to go after graduation? Those big companies in the S&P 500?”

“Maybe, but when I come back this time, I plan to rest for a while before thinking about work. … By the way, don’t go back to the farm yet!”

“why?”

“I didn’t have time to come back for Grandpa Guo’s funeral, this time I want to go to his tomb to worship first!” Catherine said seriously.

Guo Shouyun nodded, and the atmosphere in the car became a little heavy.

“Bruce, Grandpa Guo just went to heaven under the inspiration of God…!”

“Catherine, needless to say.” Guo Shouyun interrupted her, “I am really saddened by the death of my adoptive father. But rather than sadness, I think he wants me to live a better life in the future!”

Catherine nodded in agreement.

“There is a flower shop in front, let’s go buy something for worship!”

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun parked the car on the side of the road. After buying some white lilies, as well as chrysanthemums and carnations, we came to Guo Jiancheng’s cemetery together. After the worship was completed, we drove back to the Guo Family Farm in Santa Rosa.
