American Fortune Life
Chapter 1361: Silicon Valley or Evil Valley? (73/78)
"This group of guys is really difficult."
In the office, Andy frowned, put his cigar in the slot on the crystal ashtray, took a sip of coffee, and muttered while looking at the information in his hand.
In the morning, he had discussions with representatives of several investment companies with investment intentions. At present, it seems that Google and Sequoia Capital have made a 2% increase in the company's valuation, which is $ 600 million. Investment in the valuation.
This is undoubtedly very sincere, but the appetite of these two companies is not small, needless to say, Google will never consider less than 2%, and Sequoia Capital also hopes to get 1% of the shares.
Although he sent money to himself, Andy was very cautious about the red line of the share ratio. Although he could dilute the shares through refinancing, his shares would also decrease accordingly. For his own shares, With less than 5% of the risks, he had to think carefully.
In addition, Google's subscription method will be carried out in the form of cash and Google stocks. The other party is not thinking about tying him to a Google chariot.
However, if the current stock price of Google is replaced, it may be a good time. After all, Google's stock price has plummeted by 3% at this time, and it is on the verge of falling out of the billion-dollar market value list at $ 11.5 billion.
Almost as bad as Google is that despite the launch of a new phone, Apple, which still cannot escape its market value, has stepped on the red line of the billion-dollar list for $ 1.6 billion.
In the context of the economic crisis, if there are more investors who like stable and pragmatic enterprises, it means that they like fashion and fewer avant-garde investors. Google, which has just launched a new browser and phone, and Apple, which has launched a new phone, are undoubtedly the latter case.
"Boss, Google's idea of annexing the City of Freedom must exist, and it will choose to eat slowly. This is undoubted, but this is not a big problem.
First of all, you do n’t have money. Do n’t worry about the subsequent rounds of financing will dilute too many shares. We can also redistribute the share proportion through subsequent financing. We can increase the company's equity incentive plan to draw shares from the other party. There are many of these methods that should not be considered.
Boss, what we should consider at present is whether Liberty City can face the competition of both sides of Google with Android system and Apple with iOS system at the same time?
Incorporating Google and uniting against Apple is the best solution for the rapid development and growth of Liberty City.
Although antitrust has a certain degree of deterrence against Google and Apple, it is not that there is no evasion. They have very rich experience and methods on how to monopolize. If they really want to embark on the path of antitrust litigation, that is a loss.
Capital is for profit, after all, we are trying to make money, not to spend money in a lawsuit ... "
Andy nodded slightly while listening to the words of the chief think-tank Alvitre in the video connection. To be honest, the main reason why Andy has suffered is to eat alone and eat. He has some instincts for the shareholding system. To put it bluntly, he is a little bit interested in sharing benefits. accurate.
However, the reason why a company wants to introduce shareholders to financing is not only that point of funds, but also needs such as contacts, allies, opening up the market, making up for shortcomings, etc., and Google ’s help for the future development of Liberty City, Andy is It's so clear.
If Liberty City does not want to be kicked out of the market and slowly decline, the most important thing to do is to compile Google at all costs and make Google its own person.
"As for investment companies such as Sequoia, they originally existed to show the boss's attitude of benefit sharing. Just allocate 1% and 2%.
In recent days, Wall Street has been very concerned about the financing plan of the City of Freedom. Many people have called to ask about the specific situation. This group of vampires is finally willing to open the door to welcome capital, and has turned from questioning to optimistic. "
"Ha ha."
Andy just chuckled slightly. He didn't care much about the group of people on Wall Street. He was not at the beginning of his rise, and his voice was not much worse than them.
"That's it. Before that, first comb through the city of freedom and perfect the contracts and funds with the companies ..."
"understand."
Switching off the video, Andy squinted his eyes slightly, touched his chin, picked up the phone and called Michael Wright and the company's chief financial officer.
Since Liberty City will no longer be a company belonging to him alone, cooperation with all its companies will require official business, and the funds that he personally lent to the company will also need to be repaid and completely separated.
"Humph!"
As soon as he entered the door, Andy was sneered by the emperor with an upright frown, so he could only come forward with a smirk and prepare to hug him.
"Do not touch me!"
"Cough ..." Andy slightly coughed awkwardly, looking at Charlize with a look of discomfort, only one eyeball turning, "Oh, my little angel, miss my father."
Looking at Andy's appearance of a rogue, he picked up little Laura on the sofa and started teasing, listening to Little Laura's happy giggles, Charlize's mood was really mixed, and he thought he could face it calmly from beginning to end. It now seems that true feelings are always selfish.
Looking at Andy's smiling face full of pampering, thinking of his romantic love, Charlize was helpless again, not to mention that she is not a genuine girlfriend, or a genuine girlfriend, I am afraid it will not stop her from hunting around.
Damn it, forget it, you don't bother to see it ... who asked himself to choose a bastard, and he fell asleep with his feelings.
While Charlize was persuading himself, while Andy and Laura were playing, the little assistant in a black ol dress came up with a few pieces of paper in his hand.
"Boss, the fax from New York is Gaia's eci department ..."
"Oh?" Andy stretched out his finger and let Laura's little hand hold it, then took the fax from Gaia's Competitive Intelligence Department with interest and read it.
"Xiete, all I saw this morning was that he was meowing beasts and scum, okay, compared to them, I'm really a good person!"
The more he looked at Andy's face, the darker he hurriedly took his fingers away, then stood up and sat aside, and began to frown and curse.
"Don't say swear words." Charlize gave Andy a nasty look, and motioned the babysitter to hold Laura to play. Looking at the ugly expression on Andy's face, he couldn't help asking: "What information will let you Have the illusion that you are a good person? "
The dark face of Andy twitched, raised his head and glanced at the emperor, opened his mouth, and finally smiled bitterly: "Forget it, you still don't have to watch it, I'm afraid you will be stimulated ..."
"Ha" Charlize leaned forward, reached out and pulled the information from Andy's hand, Andy shook his head with a grin, and the little assistant, who was equally ugly, hurriedly stopped to say, "Best not to watch."
Charlize ignored them, but looked more curiously. The first page of the file was Google Eric Schmidt's personal information, but the more he looked back, Charlize looked up at Andy from time to time, and then Sneer again and again.
It turns out that this Eric is also a se ghost. Although he is a young man, Qing woman is spread across all walks of life, including his company's public director, female anchor, female producer, female pianist, etc., even more exaggerated is him I also took these women out on a yacht to go to sea.
"You haven't been better. There are fewer people than him. Do you say you're a good person?" Charlize taunted Andy with anger.
Andy also laughed helplessly. After reading these materials, he found that he was really far worse than this group of guys.
"Fxxk! It's disgusting! He should go to hell, he should call the police immediately and catch this kind of beast ..."
Hearing Charlize's roar, Andy slaps his forehead, grabbing the data with a bitter smile, looking at the pretty face flushed, and glaring at him with a gritted teeth, stretches his hands over her and lets her sit in her arms, Then he said comfortably: "Don't be stupid. It is not difficult to investigate these materials. They are not still safe, captive female slaves, no evidence."
"No evidence? Then how did you get all this information?" Charlize stared at Andy angrily, eyes full of inspection.
"What's your look?" Andy rolled his eyes angrily, hit **** Charlize's buttoks, and uttered: "I'm not their group of tai, to be honest, I didn't expect red This brother of Shan is a crowned beast, Nima, really sickened me.
No, I asked Sequoia to change over to a partner. Alas, I have been joking about the collective out-of-control of the lower part of the financial circle in the United States. Now it seems that it is not an exaggeration at all, but it is beautifying. what!
I know what you're thinking. It's useless. There is no party to stand up to testify. There is no way they can do it. However, I will make people stare at this. Human trafficking cannot be forgiven.
You don't have to be angry, you have to keep it secret, I will let someone handle it. "
"Okay, I believe you, you can't let this group of scum beasts continue to be free. Damn, they should all go to hell!" Charlize said, his eyes burning with anger and gnashing his teeth.
