Chapter 255 The person who can change the world(2/2)
Lu Yiming did not shy away from it at all, and looked at Lin Shuyi innocently, wondering why she suddenly mentioned this matter.
Lin Shuyi became even more unhappy: "Then why did Google accept your investment but not mine?"
Lu Yiming used Future Capital's money to invest in Google, and Lin Shuyi was extremely jealous of this, because the one billion family trust she entrusted Lu Yiming to manage was only managed by Future Capital, so this time Future Capital purchased Google's shares.
Lin Shuyi did not have a share in it.
Lin Shuyi always felt that she must have suffered a big loss. She had a character that refused to admit defeat. So she thought that since Lu Yiming could use money to invest in Google, he must be optimistic about Google's potential.
So she also sent people to contact Google and wanted to spend money to buy shares, but the other party refused without hesitation.
Even though she was willing to increase the price, Google still wouldn't sell it.
This made her very depressed.
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Yiming couldn't help laughing: "That's it?"
Larry Page has even rejected every investment from Wall Street. If you, Lin Shuyi, go to invest money, does he know who you are?
Lin Shuyi has always been competitive, so she was not willing to be outdone in anything that Lu Yiming could do, but after trying it for a while, she got frustrated.
Now seeing Lu Yiming still here gloating about his misfortune, she immediately patted the table with dissatisfaction: "I just want to know why they don't want my money? Aren't entrepreneurs like this usually lacking the most funds in the initial stage? Deliver it to your door.
They don’t even want any money, so what do they want?”
After all, they were partners. Lu Yiming had to patiently explain Lin Shuyi's doubts: "Your understanding is applicable to ordinary Internet entrepreneurs, but Larry Page and Sergey Brin are not ordinary people.
, and the Google company they founded is not an ordinary company."
"Why is this not common law?"
Looking at Lin Shuyi's still unyielding expression, Lu Yiming asked with a smile: "Do you believe that in a few years, the market value of Google will exceed that of your Lin family's Jingwan Group? Even twenty years from now, most of the world will know Google.
, and the two words "Jingwan" are probably difficult to rank in China."
"Twenty years later, Jingwan Group will not be ranked high, but Google will be world-famous?"
Lin Shuyi obviously didn't believe what Lu Yiming said: "Our Jingwan Group is a tens-billion-level real estate group. What does Google have now? As far as I know, they don't even have a serious office. The company is opened in a garage.
Counting all the employees sweeping the floor, the total is less than double digits. How can they compare with Jingwan Group?"
Lu Yiming's face became solemn and his expression became serious: "Take their future. You have to understand that times are changing, and people's concepts should also change with them. The future is destined to belong to the Internet, and the 21st century is the century of the Internet, and
The only people who can lead the new wave are those who can change the world."
In March 1998, Larry and Sergey met with Paul Flaherty of Dec Company in a Chinese restaurant called Oriental Gourmet.
Paul was their senior at Stanford University at the time, and he was also one of the designers of the dec company's altavista search engine.
Larry and Sergey hoped that their seniors could connect the dots and wanted dec company to buy their search engine technology for one million dollars, because Google was originally just a new gadget they made out of personal hobbies. Although it was cool, they wanted
Continuing to improve would require a lot of money, which is beyond their ability to afford.
Unfortunately, Paul refused, and within a few years, Dec Company disappeared because it could not keep up with the times, and was submerged by the waves of the times.
On the other hand, after the failure of "dumping the pot", Larry Page continued to find several buyers, including Steve Kircher, founder of infoseek, which also does search business, but the other party directly
Tell them to get lost.
After all, there are too many "liars" like Larry Page and Sergey Brin in Silicon Valley. A small program that cannot bring any direct profit actually asks for a million dollars, even if the person is stupid and has a lot of money.
In Silicon Valley, few people want to be taken advantage of.
After failing to shirk the blame continuously, the two had no choice but to shoulder the "big pot" called Google. After all, they made it themselves and spent so much time and energy. Naturally, they had to shoulder it with tears in their eyes.
Go down.
A turning point came in August 1998, when Larry and Sergey, who were looking for money, met Sun's co-founder and famous investor Andy Bertolsheim.
Obviously, Andy, who has read countless people, felt their superiority. After patiently listening to their explanations, he said on the spot: "This is the best idea I have heard in the past few years. I hope it can work."
Be a part of it.”
Finally, they were given a check of one hundred thousand dollars, which undoubtedly greatly encouraged Larry Page and Sergey Brin. After that, they used various relationships and connections to find their "
The "Jewish fellows" raised funds and scraped together one million US dollars, starting the legendary road of Google.
There was still a chance to acquire Google a few months ago. After all, at that time, Larry Page only wanted to make some money to enjoy life.
Several times, Lu Yiming regretted that he was reborn a little too late. If he had made a sum of money to acquire Google two months earlier, why would he have to go through all the hard work to get less than 10% of Google like now?
Shares?
It’s a pity that time waits for no one. After meeting Andy Bertolsheim, Larry Page and Sergey Brin turned into horses with a thousand lili horse, and they were no longer the rich men they once were.
Boy.
The Jews are the most calculating people in the world.
And the two Jews with dreams and lofty ambitions are even more terrifyingly deep-minded. They have already grown wings, and it is extremely difficult to take advantage of them at a low price.
And if Lin Shuyi wants to get in by spending money, she is just thinking too much.
