Chapter 722 You exist, in my big hard drive(2/2)
As she thought about it, Lin Lei's eyes sparkled and she looked at Lu Yiming like a pool of autumn water, not hiding the emotion in her eyes, just like the way He Jianhua looked at her just now.
Regarding this, Lu Yiming's mood was quite calm.
The goddess who once could only dream about her was now making secret glances at him, but now he was unmoved.
There is no way, because of Shi Qingxue's oppression, he is still in the state of a sage, and he really can't be stubborn.
However, Lu Yiming still admires the actress Lin Lei.
Meeting is fate, and Lu Yiming doesn't mind giving Lin Lei a chance: "Actually, Hollywood is a good choice. If there are no movies in Hong Kong, you can go to Hollywood."
Lin Lei smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I can't even get a notice in Xiangjiang, so am I still qualified to go to Hollywood? Mr. Lu, you think too highly of me."
Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "What's wrong with Hollywood? You sound like you're superior to others in Hollywood. Do you want to go to Hollywood to develop?"
"I think about it, of course I do!"
Lin Lei said impatiently.
However, she then stopped and said, "I definitely want to, but it's a pity that I haven't had a chance."
"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. You have good basic skills, but what you lack is just an opportunity. Now that you meet me, your opportunity has come. I will give you a number. When you arrive in the beautiful country
You can call him and ask, just say it's the number I gave you, and he should make arrangements with you."
"Really?"
Lin Lei never expected that by such a coincidence, she would get the key to Hollywood!
She excitedly took out paper and pen from her handbag and said hurriedly: "I'll make a call when I get off the plane."
Lu Yiming told her Su Zhenge's phone number.
Su Zhenge's Su Qiao Pictures has now established a firm foothold in Hollywood with the Resident Evil movie series. For Lin Lei, it is definitely a big backer and a big ship that can lead to a bright future.
Although Lin Lei didn't know who Su Zhenge was, she was the one Lu Yiming asked her to find, so he must be right. Thinking that she was about to step into the door of Hollywood, Lin Lei couldn't hold back her inner excitement and flirted with Lu Yiming.
He looked up and said, "Mr. Lu, thank you so much. Why don't I treat you to dinner after we get off the plane?"
"No."
Lu Yiming, who was still in the sage state, naturally refused without hesitation.
Do you still want me to drink some wine during dinner?
Do you want to take me to have a rest after drinking?
Lu Yiming is powerless now.
He seemed to understand immediately why Shi Qingxue was so crazy.
He muttered helplessly: "You're not afraid of breaking my seat."
"Mr. Lu, what did you say?"
"nothing."
The plane landed smoothly in Los Angeles, and Lin Lei walked out of the airport with a feeling of regret.
She was very upset when she failed to make an appointment to have dinner with Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming, who slept all the way on the plane, went straight to PayPal's headquarters with his bodyguards.
As soon as he entered the company gate, Musk and a group of senior executives came forward to greet him, and sprayed the ribbon all over Lu Yiming's body.
"Surprise?"
"Dear Lu, we are all looking forward to your arrival."
While Lu Yiming was cleaning the ribbons on his body, he muttered helplessly: "I didn't expect you guys to like this stuff too."
Peter Thiel and Max Live also enthusiastically stepped forward to hug Lu Yiming. Peter Thiel said excitedly: "Lu, your previous suggestion was really great. As expected, the listing was postponed to this year. PayPal's valuation is higher than
It was better than expected, more than double the price!”
No one in this world can reject Franklin.
After all, even if you are an idealist, if you want to realize your ideals, you must first spend real money.
The original founding team of PayPal, including Musk, believed that it should go public as soon as possible to raise funds to avoid long nights and dreams.
After all, no one knows how long the Internet cold wave will last.
However, Lu Yiming had already expected this, so he strongly advocated postponement of PayPal's listing plan until July of this year, that is, July 2003.
As the saying goes, the long wait will be worth it after all.
Although delayed by one year, the Internet economy began to slowly recover in 2003 and will soon usher in new glory again.
During this year, Lu Yiming also continued to provide financial and creative support to help PayPal conquer the city and defeat other competitors.
Even eBay's own payment software has been hacked to the point where it can't be found.
Musk excitedly said to Lu Yiming: "Whitman just came to us last week and she offered a price of US$2.2 billion. What do you think?"
US$2.2 billion is enough to make Musk excited.
However, what he didn't expect was that Lu Yiming shook his head directly, and then said to him seriously: "Do you think this price is high for PayPal? We are the best team in the world, and our payment software is now
The best payment software in the world, so we deserve more generous returns!"
"That's right! Lu is absolutely right!"
"We are the best!"
Everyone's emotions were aroused by Lu Yiming. At the end of 2002, Meg Whitman actually came to Musk and others and offered a price of US$1.5 billion.
At that time, Musk and the others already wanted to sell it, after all, it was worth US$1.5 billion!
As long as they nodded, everyone would immediately become a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire!
For a group of young people like them who have only graduated from college a few years ago and have nothing but dreams, few people can resist such a temptation.
But Lu Yiming gave them greater confidence and greater ambition.
PayPal is worth $1.5 billion now, what will happen next?
US$1.5 billion is by no means the end of PayPal, let alone their end.
And now, US$2.2 billion is not the end of PayPal. As the ceiling in the industry, a "dream team" like them deserves more generous returns.
Lu Yiming raised his hands to calm everyone down, and then said with a smile: "I think 3.5 billion US dollars will be a good number. What do you think?"
