The company founded by these two people also operates the Internet, and its name is Google. ◇↓◇↓Dian◇↓Small◇↓◇↓

This company has not been established for a long time and is not very famous yet. However, the search engine website they launched has indeed been extremely popular on the entire network during this period.

There are countless funds for consortiums that want to participate in investing in this company. Moreover, the concept of Internet stocks in the United States is in a hustle and bustle world. Many people make a fortune by investing in Internet stocks and technology stocks. I wonder how many people turn from a poor student to a million, million, or even billionaire overnight.

Therefore, there are many people who are interested in investing in this.

The same goes for Google.

Since it is very popular, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are not in a hurry. Now it is their turn to choose investors, not investors.

Of course, according to the agreement of the first investment, in the second round of investment, the first round of investment is eligible to add their own investment in the expansion of shares to ensure that their shares are not diluted. Of course, if you want to ensure that your shares are not diluted by the expansion of shares, large investment is naturally essential.

This time, Jester was not the one who took the initiative to discuss with Larry Page, the two founders of Google.

Instead, the two of them came to the door to talk about the second round of investment, because Jester was the largest shareholder of the first Google investment. At that time, Jester sold extremely generously, with a total investment of 30 million US dollars, and obtained 35% of Google's shares. This share was indeed extremely high, but no one else could compare to the price Jester offered at that time.

Although he was a little unwilling, Larry Page and Sergey Brin agreed to Jest's investment after thinking about it for a while.

Because in their opinion, this can be diluted by the subsequent rounds of financing, and there is no way to do so. After all, if a person controls too many shares, it will be too dangerous for the two pioneers in the future.

There is the example of Jobs.

When Jobs started Apple, he was very powerful, but he was not in line with investors and was still kicked out by the company he created. This is also the most worrying thing for all those who do technology companies in this field.

Of course, with the help of Jester, Jobs has regained the power of Apple. Moreover, as Apple's first director, Jester did not interfere with Jobs. Of course, in the hands of Jobs, Apple's performance has improved significantly in recent years, and even relied on the strong performance of MP3 to return to its peak that year, which really surprised everyone.

According to the original plan, this matter is difficult to negotiate.

Jester is rich, very rich. Both Larry Page and Sergey Brin know this.

Needless to say, $100 million, even $1 billion is not a big deal for Jester. After all, I have been in contact with Jester for so long. As their investors, Larry Page and the others will naturally investigate Jester's background.

The results of the investigation were shocking.

It is true that Jester is best known as the founder and chairman of Mars Entertainment. Of course, not long ago, Jester resigned from his position as chairman. His wife took over, which was his original identity, but this identity only brought him fame, and the vast majority of his wealth did not come from games.

Mars Entertainment's profits are very prominent, but the proportion of Jester's wealth may not be one-tenth.

Needless to say, the dividends he received after the merger of Traveler Group and Citibank were not comparable to those of Mars Entertainment.

Not to mention the power brought by this part of the shares.

That is Citibank, one of the most powerful financial tycoons on Wall Street. The power he represents is naturally earth-shaking and extraordinary. At least they both dare not imagine how much energy Jester has.

Just knowing this is enough to make Larry Page, Sergey Brin scared.

What's more, this is still not his entire industry.

Jester knows that he has invested in a wide range of projects, companies, and industries he invests in are almost all over the world, Japan, South Korea, and even the Middle East, Australia, South America, and Europe.

The investment projects are also diverse and diverse, from retail, hotel, high-tech industries, traditional industries and even minerals are within its investment scope.

It is said that even after the Asian financial crisis, it has developed extremely rapidly. Samsung Group, which has become the largest chaebol in South Korea, has a large investment from Jester, and even Jester has an important position in it.

And the news these two people have heard recently.

It is the famous wealth management fund under Jester's name that Jester Holdings officially submitted a bid letter of intent for Vale, which will be a bidding plan of more than $3 billion.

You should know that reforms are underway within Brazil during this period, and one of the core is the privatization of state-owned assets.

Although Brazil's economy is now collapsed, inflation has reached an incredible level.

However, there are still several domestic domestic companies that are very jealous, including Vale. After all, this is the top three in the world, or even the top two. The first ore company has the largest iron ore mine in the world. Of course, iron ore is not too valuable now, and because of this, Vale is not the most eye-catching thing about Brazil's privatization reform.

The most eye-catching thing is Petrobras!

Of course, there are many people who are jealous of this largest oil company in South America. Those oil giants are sharpening their knives. Jester has considered it before, but later the heads of the behind-the-scenes consortiums of Total and Shell have met with Jester. They hope Jester will not participate in this bid.

As long as Jester agrees to their request, they can help Jester win other bids that he is interested in.

Jester is not a person who likes to make grudges with others. His investment goal is just to make money, and he himself has not made much investment in oil. In addition, Samsung, who had hoped that he would do this before, agreed to cooperate with Total to bid, so Jester, who had no desires, agreed to the other party's opinion and specifically put his goal on the Vale.

The iron ore that Vale now has is indeed not very valuable, but you should know that the country on the other side of the Pacific will soon begin to develop the most rapid golden decade, and it is inevitable that the price of iron ore will rise sharply in the future.

Jester is very clear about this history. He also knows how the three major ores work together to control iron ore, and how Baosteel reached a price contract with Nippon Steel and Posco Iron.

It is also because of this incident that other domestic steel companies called Baosteel a traitor.

However, Jester didn't care much about these things. He only needed to know that he could make a lot of money in the future after purchasing more than 30% of the shares he bought Vale this time.

It is basically no secret to ask for some Vale shares, and the Brazilian government cannot make people profit.

Three billion dollars!

For two people, this is a number that they dare not even imagine.

This is not the so-called stock, but the real $3 billion!

This time, Larry Page and Sergey Brinn originally planned to go to California to meet Jester in person. However, after they informed Jester, Jester said that they would go to New York once during this period, so if it is convenient, they might as well meet in New York.

During this period, the two founders of Google are also in New York for the second round of financing, so this time they met.

It’s not that Jester wants to go to New York to relax with his wife. To be honest, in order to do O. Jester doesn’t have so much time to travel around during this period. Even the plan to go to his own island in Australia for Christmas that he had planned with Claudia was temporarily put on hold. Fortunately, Claudia also understands his current job very well.

It’s just that Citibank’s annual shareholders’ meeting will be held in these days. As one of the major directors of Citibank, Jester of course needs to attend this meeting.

Jester sips coffee while listening to the two founders of Google say their pleas.

What they begged for is simple.

That is, I hope that Jester can reduce their holdings in the second round of financing. In other words, I hope that Jester will not raise funds according to the second round of financing ratio. Of course, financing according to his own shares is the power that Jester has, and no one can stop it. That is why Larry Page and Sergey Brin’s request was obtained.

The two men always smiled when they saw Jester when they heard them say it, and one Jester would agree to their request.

But after they finish speaking.

The first sentence of Jester made their wishful thinking avatars.

"I don't agree."

Jester said this firmly, and even after a moment of pause, Jester continued, "Two, I am very optimistic about your company. I think your company has the ability to create the future."

Jester's comments are highly praised.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin may not have such high expectations for Google, but what they are most worried about is that they control too many shares. In the end, the company they founded was not theirs in the end, and even drove themselves out. This is the saddest thing.

"I know what you're worried about."

Jester immediately said something, then pondered for a moment.

"I also know it's hard for me to convince you, but what I said before is true. I am really optimistic about Google. I think its future is promising. Of course, I don't want to steal this company from you. You should also know the style of my investment. I rarely participate in the specific operations of the companies I invest in, because when I invest, I am not only optimistic about the project itself, but more importantly, I am optimistic about the people who do this project."

This sentence is of course meaningful meaning, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin also knew that Jester was praising them.

However, as two people with outstanding intelligence and intelligence, they certainly knew that the capitalists could not trust the words, so the disappointment in their hearts did not change at all.

Jester also saw this scene.

"You are just worried that I have too many shares, and we will have more and more voices in the future, and it may even drive you out of Google." At this point, Jester paused for a moment, and then smiled, "I am frank, as long as you have enough skills to keep this company developing and get enough dividends for my investment in the company, then what crazy did I do to drive you out of Google?"

"Besides, I only have 30% of the shares now. Even if I invest in all my future investments in proportion, it will not have any impact on your control of Google, right?"

When he heard Jester say this, Larry Page and Sergey Brin hesitated for a moment, because what Jester said makes sense.

"Yes, if we can do this company well, of course he wouldn't use the equity in his hands to drive us out, but if we don't do it well, even if he doesn't drive us away, other shareholders can sit back and watch?" But soon, the two thought about: What if some of our ideas conflict? To be honest, Larry Page's idea of ​​Sergey Brinn's Google is not just treating it as an Internet company.

He hopes that more than ten years later, when people call their companies, they will be called technology companies, not just Internet companies.

Who knew that before they could express their thoughts, Jester smiled and said.

"To be honest, I understand your concerns. Are you worried? I will object to your ideas or proposals about the future development direction of this company? I think you are completely over-thinking about this. I have said before that I will not interfere in the specific operations of the companies I invest in. I will just arrange for my financial team to supervise the finance. This is also my power. As for whether you will study quantum computers or other things in the future, I don't care. What I care about is what this company can bring to me."

When they heard Jester talk about quantum computers, the two founders of Google smiled and thought Jester was really humorous. Even if they were fantastic, they didn't think they had the ability to develop quantum computers.

But what they may not have imagined was that the Google in Jester's mind was actually conducting research on the feasibility of quantum computers fifteen years later. (To be continued.)
