Chapter 306, Cisco, come to the bowl
Through the phone, Nan Yi smiled knowingly when he heard Bill Gates' declaration.
The richest man Weiye, this name is very arrogant, but the advertising effect will be very good. As long as Microsoft goes public and its market value soars and has a promising future, everyone will know that this company seems to be not bragging.
Of course, this effect is not that important now. The Internet has not been so popular with everyone, or in other words, most people do not know what changes the Internet will bring to the world.
The richest man Weiye clearly wants to invest in this field. The "garage companies" and "tool house companies" that want to make a difference in this industry will naturally come to the door with their ppts.
Gradually, the "richest man effect" will form.
The saying "The next company that the richest man is optimistic about is the next company" will cause a company's stock to hit the daily limit in the near future.
Start-up companies will cry and lower their valuations and seek investment from the richest man.
Nan Yi hung up the phone, came out of the car, looked in the direction of the cliff, and then walked straight to the reef on the beach, lay on the reef and looked at the stars for a while.
After Rachel drove to Palo Aldo after the press conference.
There was a couple at Stanford University, who were Leonard Posack, director of the Computer Center in the Department of Computer Science, and Sandy Lerner, director of the Computer Center at the School of Business, who worked together to design a networked device called "Multi-Protocol Router".
Used for Stanford campus networks, integrating incompatible computer LANs on campus to form a unified network.
Compared with the truly complete routers in later generations, this "multi-protocol router" networked device is just a prototype.
Now, the router designed by the Posacks still has a lot of problems, such as slow data exchange, frequent disconnection, etc., which are all defects of this router.
Many companies and individuals have already wanted to buy the technical patent of Posack couples, but the highest bid was only 100,000 US dollars, and they were rejected by Posack couples.
For the Posacks, a professor at Stanford University, $100,000 is just a trivial drizzle.
It is precisely because the Internet has not been valued by everyone that people do not know the great significance of multi-protocol routers, and they cannot truly recognize their value. The valuation of it will definitely not be high. Those who want to buy this technology patent are nothing more than
It is just a technical reserve.
The Internet at this point in time is just a product of application in the laboratory. The core purpose of the development of the Internet in the country is to prepare for war.
In order to ensure that the domestic defense forces and overseas defense forces of the Son Kingdom have a certain ability to survive and counterattack after being hit by the Soviet revisionist for the first nuclear strike.
It is believed that it is necessary to design a scattered command system: it consists of scattered command points, and when some command points are destroyed, the other points can still work normally, and between these points, those that have been destroyed can be bypassed.
keep in touch with the command point.
This led to the birth of Apa.com. Moreover, the current computer is different from later computers. The computer operating system is still quite simple and there is no graphics operating system with strong usability.
At this time, ibm and Apple's computers are high-end products, and only companies, university research institutions and some wealthy families will choose to buy them.
More Chinese people use Compaq home computers, which are powered by floppy disks, can do some form and word processing work, and can also be used to play games.
At this point in time, it is a good time for Nanyi to deploy the Internet. A large number of future high-quality companies have been established or are being established at this point in time, but they are still in the stage of unknown accumulation.
Rachel came outside the Stanford University gate and soon arrived at the cafe that she had made an appointment with Posack and his wife.
The Posacks and his wife attached great importance to Rachel's arrival, dressed very formally, and had already come out early to wait outside the cafe. They had no choice but to ignore it. Pan American Investment has already gained considerable popularity in the Danwu country, which is a valuation.
Not sure, but the company is large.
For Rachel, this is good news. The Posacks and his wife attach importance to meeting her, so it will be easier to talk about it later and will gain more benefits for the company.
Rachel spoke in a sure tone, "Hi, Sandy, Honard, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Not, just waited for a while," Sandy Lerner said.
After a brief greeting between the two parties, they entered the cafe and called the waiter. After ordering the coffee, the conversation between the two parties entered a formal stage.
Sandy Lerner spoke first on behalf of the couple: "Rachel, thank you for coming here. I wonder if you said you wanted to invest in the connected devices we designed. Can you tell me in detail?"
"Of course, Sandy. I was very interested after overhearding the connected devices you designed, so I rushed over after the press conference."
When the Posacks heard Rachel's words, they looked at each other and nodded, both of them smiling.
During this period, the couple had a hard time. They wanted to promote the equipment they designed on a large scale at Stanford University, so they tried to apply to the school, but their application was rejected by the school.
The road to school is not clear, and the Posacks are struggling to open a company and promote the networked device themselves. But they have found many investors, and the conditions for these investors are quite harsh.
The Posacks and his wife wanted to find investors, mainly to share the risks the company needs to face with them, rather than finding an ancestor for themselves.
According to the original trajectory, the Posacks have never found an investor who suits their wishes, and will eventually choose to invest in the company next year.
Now, Rachel finds the Posacks and tells them that their company wants to invest in their projects, which of course makes the Posacks and the Posacks and the other is ecstatic. On the one hand, some people recognize their design, but on the other hand, they find willing to invest.
Their financial backer is commonly known as the sucker.
At this time, Sandy Lerner said again: "I don't know what conditions will Rachel's company offer? If it is too harsh, we will not accept it."
Rachel smiled and replied, "It's better for you to talk about your own conditions first, so that I can have a reference. According to the process of our company, I'll just come here to have a preliminary talk with you today. The subsequent links will naturally be
Someone came to talk.”
The Posacks looked at each other again and said the numbers they had agreed on before, "Rachel, we valued the connected equipment we designed at $1 million."
Hearing this number, Rachel felt a little funny. Before coming, her boss told her that he was very optimistic about this technology and that the investment conditions could be relaxed.
But now it seems that perhaps the two inventors did not realize how valuable the technology they developed was, or that her boss overestimated the technology.
"Oh, this valuation is not high, I initially agree with your valuation."
The Posacks looked at each other for the third time, and obviously they did not expect that the negotiations would go so smoothly, and neither of them bargained.
According to their previous judgment, this negotiation would be a protracted tug-of-war, but now it is so easy to reach a preliminary consensus, which is really a surprise.
Rachel said to the Posacks: "Since we have no dispute over the valuation, why don't you tell me, how many shares are you willing to give up?"
Hearing Rachel's words, the Posacks knew that the meat scene was coming.
For venture capitalists, determining the valuation is only the first step, and the most important step is the number of shares they can acquire.
Of course, Rachel hopes to acquire more shares for the company without reaching the scope of holding. In the future, this company that has not yet been established has not yet been completed, and it is still unknown how many rounds of financing it will go through.
Whether you continue to follow up on the investment or wait for dilution or transfer, it will never be wrong to hold more shares in your hand.
Now the investment in the Posacks and his wife can only be regarded as a financial investment, and the core purpose is to use the expanded market value of the "company" to make profits.
This is the angel round, and there will be round A and B round... If Pan American investment control wants to follow up, you can continue to follow up. As long as you follow the principle of "Eat meat together with everyone".
Why did Nanyi put a pan-American investment in Pan-American investment?
Why did Nanyi decide early in the morning that Pan American Investment Control will attract a group of powerful shareholders?
It is because the company's market value will rise to a sky-high price in the future, and it is still in a relatively sensitive field. If you don't criticize Zhang Pi, you are not a domestic company in China, and you want to hold a large number of shares and wait for the market value to rise to a high point in the future.
Transfers and secondary market sell-offs are simply dreams.
Once that happens, Nan Yi has to worry about whether he has the life to make money and spend it.
Doing that is equivalent to cutting the Chinese leeks, and it is also cutting the whole truck. If you say you just pull a few trees, people will turn a blind eye and drive a train tow truck for hundreds of meters long.
If you want to install a car, why do you think others are dead?
On this side, Nan Yi was going to cash out, and on the other hand, he would be fabricated with 782 charges, manipulating the stock market, suspected of money laundering, providing funds to terrorist organizations, and engaging in espionage activities. No matter what, he would definitely be able to arrange it for him anyway.
It's clear that you may not be able to let go even after 2,000 years.
Only Wall Street can cut off the leeks of the Chinese people, and only the donkey party. The forces behind the party can cut off. Even except for China and the Soviet revisionist, the US believes that the global stock market is their own land.
"My own son can cut our leeks, and my godson can cut them too. What's your illegitimate son, Lao Wang's illegitimate son, still wants to cut our leeks?"
This sentence is actually a consensus among countries around the world that wolves guard their sheep pens, not to entertain wolves coming from other grasslands to enjoy.
Sandy Lerner said: "Rachel, we can give you 30% of the shares, but you can't get involved in the company's affairs at will."
Rachel smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you have not made decision-making mistakes, we Pan American Investment Control will never interfere in the company's affairs. We will only dispatch representatives to supervise the accounts and conduct regular audits of the accounts. As for the shares..."
Rachel deliberately paused, "You are sure you can't have more? I can promise that in your future financing, our Pan American Investment can dilute the shares and will definitely ensure your controlling rights."
"Is this sentence of your promise to be written into the contract?"
"Of course, why not?"
After the Posacks and his wife met for the fourth time, Santy Lener said: "Rachel, we need to discuss it."
"Don't worry, I can give you a day to discuss slowly. At 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow, people from our company will come to formally negotiate with you, and will also bring the contract template here. Please don't forget to hire a lawyer." Rachel
He said with retreat to advance.
Now Pan American investment control has no competitors, Rachel is not worried that the Posacks will fly away. She has enough patience to create the illusion that "she is easy to talk to" for the two.
Chapter completed!
