Chapter 14: Investment Company Startups(1/2)

Inside an inconspicuous cafe in Silicon Valley.

Abel glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him, and then looked at the information in his hand.

Alvertley Gus.

American German.

42 years old.

Germans are very common in the United States.

Among Americans, Germans actually account for the highest proportion.

For example, the current US president, his grandfather and grandmother came from Germany.

Then, similar to Bill Gates, Jobs, Disney, Rockefeller, Chrysler, these celebrities are also German.

Then the second highest proportion is Irish, then England, and other races.

But during World War II, the most fierce attack on Germany was the United States, which had the most Germans.

It's gone far.

Abel looked at the resume of the elite introduced by the headhunter, which was very perfect.

Alvertley Gus.

Graduated from UCLU’s Department of Finance and is also an alumni with Abel.

He then graduated with a master's degree from the law department of Stanford University.

Graduated from the Department of Finance of Harvard University.

Work experience:

Facebook's Deputy Finance Director (2006-2009).

NEA Capital, Risk Management Manager, Angel Investment Company (2009-2012),

Instagram Company Financial Director (2012-2015)

Deputy General Manager of KPCB Capital Company (2015-2018).

This is an excellent resume of elite talents.

Excellent academic qualifications: UCLU, Stanford University, Harvard University.

Each one is a top university, the latter two universities, Stanford University and Harvard University, are among the top universities in the world in terms of finance and finance.

Excellent work experience: Facebook and Instagram are both large companies.NEA Capital and KPCB Capital are also top venture capital companies.

Especially KPCB Capital, it is on the same level as Sequoia Capital!

The age is also appropriate, 42 years old is the peak stage for men.

Just such an excellent resume and such an excellent talent, why would he be willing to accept his invitation and come for an interview?

You should know that you have no fame except for a little money.

In fact, even the company has not started to register.

Of course, Alvertley didn't know that the company had not been registered yet.

When Abel asked this question, Abel was quite satisfied with his answer.

Alvertley Gus: "Three reasons!"

"First, I was in a disagreement with the general manager of KPCB Capital. I wanted to become the general manager. The other party was old but refused to retire, but instead recommended other people!"

"The second reason, I want to prove myself."

"The third reason, haha...Piaggio and I are neighbors and classmates!"

Such a coincidence?

Biagio is the founder of Blue Star Future Company, who was prompted by Fate Smoke, who invested in Beverly Hills before.

Unexpectedly, he and Biagio were friends.

There is no need for the other party to lie about this kind of thing, it can be confirmed by just a phone call.

It's probably true.

It may even be that the two have a good relationship, or it may be that Piaggio recommends himself to Alverti.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Abel nodded and looked at the resume carefully again, and already knew it in his heart.

"What kind of treatment can keep you."

Abel asked.

This is a very testable question.

If you talk less, the boss will think that you lack confidence, your ability may not work, and it cannot be of great use.

If you say too much, the boss will think that you are more and more capable, not easy to control and cannot be reused.

It's a very difficult thing to say just right.

"A annual salary of two million and dividends at the end of the year."

Alvertley Gus also said directly.

He proposed a normal salary for someone of his level.

The annual salary of 2 million US dollars is 99% of the people in the United States, and their income does not have this number.

But Abel was not surprised at all.

Such excellent resumes and those who have worked in large companies are not overly treated.

It is estimated that Alvertley Gus can get a higher annual salary at KPBC Capital.

It's just that there may be no dividends.

"I think about it."

Abel pounded on the table and thought about it.

Annual salary of two million is actually not high, and it can even be said to be a bit low.

Of course, Abel also knew that this was just a basic salary, such as car distribution, travel expenses and other company benefits, and it also had to be paid. As for how to pay, it depends on the boss Abel.

But to be honest, Abel didn't want to make a promise so early.

His investment company is not relying on talents in the financial and investment circles like Alvertley Gus.

What I really rely on is the magical smoke of destiny. With the smoke of destiny that can predict future fragments, Abel's investment cannot lose money.

The profits in the future will definitely be in an astonishing quantity.

Even 1%, it will be tens of millions of dollars or even higher!

It’s just that I am a small company now, and I am still in the forging stage. According to the practice of the United States, even if I give dividends, I will give too little.

I guess Alvertley Gus would also dislike him.

That's better than...

"The annual salary is raised to US$5 million! From now on, the increase is at least 10% per year! As for dividend bonuses, depending on the company's profitability, I will distribute it!"

Abel said to Alvertley Gus.

Alvertley Gus couldn't help but feel surprised.

Annual salary of 5 million.

It's already good for him.

When he was at KPCB Capital, he didn't have this treatment.

But KPCB is a giant in the industry, and Abel's company is just a startup company.

Such generous conditions were offered.

"These conditions must be written in the contract."

He doesn't make a bastard with money, and Alvertry is not the Virgin, he said.

His original idea was to pay an annual salary of US$2 million, with dividends of 2 to 5% by the end of the year.

For a normal investment company of this size, including the annual salary of dividends, benefits and bonuses, it will be about four million US dollars a year.

His previous annual income at KPCB was about three to four million US dollars, depending on his performance.

Now, the annual salary of 5 million US dollars may not have bonuses or dividends, but compared with previous income, this has increased a lot.

Alvertley was very satisfied.

"Happy cooperation in the future." Abel stretched out his hand and smiled slightly.

“Happy cooperation.”

Alvertley smiled slightly.
