Back To 1995

   Chapter 265 Get on the bus first and then make up the ticket

   Chris Jaen was so excited when he heard Song Yang's last words, his expression was beyond words. Song Yang's words almost accepted him as a partner!

Just like his boss Kerimaiya, he is eligible to acquire equity in some projects, just like American Telecom, now the valuation of American Telecom has soared, and Kerimaiya holds the equity of American Telecom, which makes his worth directly. Almost doubled!

Now, Jain has also received the same treatment as Kerimaiya, and he can also get the equity in the new project, which is comparable to Jain, who has worked hard all his life in Comerica Bank. Salary and bonus are much more.

How can you make Jia En die if you don't give some benefits, "As long as you can, Jia En, let Comerica Bank reach a cooperation with PayPal, I will nominate in the future, you will be an independent director of PayPal, you can With more than 1% equity treatment, if you want to sell this equity in the future, the PayPal board of directors can start a repurchase plan!"

   This is equivalent to giving Chris Jain a 1% stake in PayPal. Although it cannot be sold to others, if PayPal wants to sell it, PayPal has the board of directors and will buy it back from Jain.

How much   PayPal will be worth, or even survive, no one knows, but this is definitely a huge change for Jain.

  Think about it, Song Yang spent so much energy, not hesitating to risk a war with several giants, but also to get PayPal, Jia En can guess blindly, PayPal will definitely not be cheap in the future.

   Even if it is only 1%, if it is cashed out in the future, then Jaen's worth is estimated to skyrocket.

   With Song Yang's promise, Jia En's enthusiasm has soared. Working for others is completely different from working for himself.

  Song Yang asked Comelica Bank to cooperate because PayPal needed a settlement center. PayPal did not have a bank license or relevant talents. As soon as he came up, he played by himself, and he might pull his hips.

The Bank of Comerica is not a giant bank, but one of the top 100 banks in America. It has business centers in various states of America and some overseas regions. PayPal can conduct business with the Bank of Comerica without worrying about being subject to corruption. Merika swallowed it in one bite. If it were changed to several major banks such as Citi and Morgan, it is estimated that PayPal would have been slapped to death in the first place.

   After talking for a while, Song Yang and Jia En confirmed that PayPal adopts the strategy of getting on the bus first and then buying the ticket, that is, to start the business first, and then get the payment license, bank license, fund license and other things.

First talk to Comerica Bank to complete all these businesses, attract hundreds or even tens of millions of users to the PayPal platform, and after the facts are established, then go to the America Finance, Banking Supervision and other agencies to discuss, otherwise I am afraid that it will be taken at all. Without these license plates!

   "I will arrange for the director of Kerimaia to meet you Song as soon as possible." Jia En said to Song Yang.

  Song Yang thought for a while, "Wait for me to come back from Asia."

Recently, after Song Yang has dealt with RICK's affairs, he will start a trip to Asia with a large group of teams. In name, it is to spread the glory of America's Internet on the Internet desert of Asia. This is a long time ago. Well planned, it can't be delayed any longer.

Moreover, PayPal is still under development, and it will take at least half a year to launch. This thing is no better than Hotmail and ICQ. It can't tolerate any loopholes or the like. If something goes wrong, it is probably a real thunderstorm, so the development of PayPal is very cautious, even if the function is a little less, it must be absolutely safe!

   "In addition to PayPal, there are several projects that need your cooperation from Jia En." Song Yang said to Jia En.

  The wool is not shabby, and it is even more skillful to be able to catch a sheep all the time!

   "You should have heard about Western Pictures too?!" Song Yang drank a cup of tea. The authentic domestic tea was the Dahongpao that Xie Qing specially entrusted to bring to America from China.

"certainly!"

   As for Song Yang's news, Jia En and Comerica Bank have always paid attention to You Jia. How could Jia En not know about Song Yang's news in Hollywood.

   As for Song Yang's big money, more than two hundred million dollars were smashed into Hollywood. Outside America, many people are waiting to see the joke. It is rumored that Song Yang was tricked by those Hollywood liars.

Jia En did not mention a lot of media, thinking that "The Matrix" may become an epic bad movie, and Song Yang may lose everything, but touted, "IMDB World Film Museum, now the American states, and the British capital. discussing this!"

   No matter what the movie of "The Matrix" is, the news of IMDB's claim to build a world film collection museum has caused a lot of storms in the film industry, as well as in the states of America and even overseas.

For this kind of pretense, it can also bring jobs and tourism to the local area. All the states of America want to have film museums settled there. Los Angeles is of course the most active. It has Hollywood itself, plus a world film museum, then Bigger took it to the next level.

New York is also very active, not for anything else, just to be able to add a new landmark building to attract more tourists. Overseas, England, where IMDB is located, is also very active. As for the other international film festivals such as Cannes and Toronto also quite positive.

   On the whole, IMDB has successfully broken the circle with the help of the name of building the "World Film Museum", so that IMDB, which was originally just a small broken website, has successfully broken the circle.

   And now, IMDB is also cooperating with several major art magazines, film newspapers, etc., so that IMDB's Bigger is constantly improving, and more film practitioners have begun to enter IMDB.

   "Western Pictures wants to borrow a sum of money from Comerica Bank, which will be used for the filming of "The Matrix", the later film box office, peripheral income, etc., to repay this fund!"

Chris Jain's smile stiffened on his face. He felt inexplicably that he shouldn't be here today. It was PayPal and Western Pictures, so there was no good job. Either the risk was huge or it was a huge pit. , and then look at Eric, who is staring at him. Jain doesn't know what else is waiting for him.

"Song," Jia En felt that the quarrel was a little dry, "I am very willing to cooperate with Western Pictures, I believe that Western Pictures, in your hands Song, will definitely be able to develop, but the "Matrix" project, I am afraid it is really difficult to pass Bank of Comerica’s investment review…”

For film projects like Song Yang, who started halfway through Hollywood, the major banks have always kept their distance from them, because the success rate is too low. went in.

  Song Yang glanced at Jia En, shook his head and said, "I haven't invested yet, how can you be sure, Jia En, that "The Matrix" will fail?"

Jia En just shook his head again and again, but he didn't mention the loan to Western Films, let alone Jia En, even if the directors of the Comerica Bank, would not dare to throw the money lightly, for fear that the meat buns and dogs would be gone. return.

Song Yang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, then thought for a moment and said, "Western Pictures will invest 50% in "The Matrix First Part", with an investment of 40 million US dollars, and the rest of the funds, Western Pictures will use Weta Special Effects Studio. , IMDB as collateral, obtained from Comerica Bank!"

  The nominal capital of the first film of The Matrix is ​​80 million US dollars. Western Pictures directly invested 40 million US dollars, and the remaining half was invested by Comerica Bank. The risk is not too great.

   With the addition of Weta special effects studio and IMDB as collateral, it is actually not a loss, but Jain still said, "America Telecom will also join as a guarantor!"

   Now, Jain doesn't believe anyone, he just believes in America Telecom, at least it seems that America Telecom still has hope of making money, and can pay back these tens of millions of dollars.

   "I hope that this fund will arrive as soon as possible." Song Yang nodded and said.

The    talk became a matter between PayPal and Western Pictures, and Song Yang's troubles were partly resolved.

   But before Jain could catch his breath, the wheel battle began again, and Eric sat opposite Jain.

"Funk," Jia En scolded directly when he saw this posture, for Eric, Jia En did not have the same good temper as Song Yang, "Eric, you just said it directly, how much do you want? Beautiful knife!"

  Eric directly pointed out **** to Jain. When Jain saw it, he smiled and said, "Twenty million dollars?"

   "200 million dollars!"

The brandy that was just poured into his mouth was squirted out by Jia En. Jia En, who has also lived in Texas for many years, also has a temper, and when he caught Eric, he scolded him, "You are such a badass. The RICK club, how much is it worth when it is sold, who do you think I am to give you 200 million dollars?!"

While Jia En was scolding vigorously, Eric calmly pointed to Song Yang, "I'm really not qualified, but Song is now the largest personal interaction in the RICK club company, holding a 35% stake in RICK, RICK It also holds a 5% stake in ICQ.”

   Eric said it calmly, and then saw the expression of Jia En, who was holding back what he had just said.

Jia En can scold RICK as a night club, maybe he can scold Song Yang, who holds a 5% stake in ICQ, RICK can already lick his face and say that he is a technology company. Dog meat, once RICK is listed, it can also be added to the Internet concept stocks.

After holding back for a long time, Jia En finally asked, "So Song, Eric, what are you doing?"

  Jian really didn't know how to speak. He invested two hundred million dollars for a nightclub company, which was enough to buy half of America's nightclubs.
