Back To 1995

   Chapter 875 The Great King's Flag

   Hearing that Song Yang was going to invest in Google, Khosla also thought about letting KPCB venture capital join hands and take a ride, but then, he heard words that surprised him.

  ICQ CEO Erin Doherty going to Google? !

Regardless of Irene's ability, how she is doing in ICQ now, just as a CEO of $400 billion, Irene can basically rank in the top five in the ranking of professional managers in America, or even It's the top three!

People like   , no matter what the reason is to leave ICQ and join Google, as long as the news spreads, it is estimated that the entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street will be directly fried.

If you only invest money, KPCB Ventures can still compete with Song Yang, but if Irene joins Google, what will KPCB Ventures compete for, and who can KPCB Ventures pull to compare with Irene in the arena, come and go? As president of Google? !

  Larry Page and Sergey Brin all held their wine glasses and looked at Irene blankly. At this time, there was only a buzzing sound in their minds. They didn't know if what they heard was true.

  Today, Larry and Brin came here with a little expectation, but no matter how much they looked forward to it, they never thought that such a big pie could fall from the sky!

   Not to mention getting the investment from Song Yang, Irene, the queen of the Internet, is actually coming to Google?

It doesn’t matter how the outside world evaluates Irene, but in the eyes of small and medium-sized Internet companies and laymen in Silicon Valley, Irene is the queen of the Internet industry. She is one of the first batch of big figures to join the Internet industry and is one of the founding team members of Double Click Company. , served as the chief assistant of the American Internet Advertising Association, one of the founding team members of ICQ, and is still one of the directors of the American Internet Association.

  In terms of qualifications, experience, contacts, influence, etc., Irene is a representative of female practitioners in Silicon Valley!

How can a "big man" like    actually propose to join Google, which is not well-known and can't sell even if he sells himself.

"certainly!"

   No matter how talented Larry Page and Sergey Brin are, when they talk at this time, they can't help but stammer.

  Those with slow brain response and lack of experience know that Google is about to take off. Yesterday, it was looked down upon by Yahoo and Excite. After today, I am afraid that some of you will not be able to climb high.

   "Mr. Khosla, do you have anything to say?!" Song Yang looked at Khosla, who was hesitant to speak.

  Khosla gave a wry smile. Silicon Valley is a magical place. Yesterday may be worthless, but today it may be worth looking up to.

Khosla is a veteran of Silicon Valley, but no matter how experienced he is, he never imagined that a "broken" company like Google could have the experience of turning a crow into a phoenix, and it was only done in an instant. Not to mention the VCs, Irene can also be the president.

Even though Irene just said she wanted to join Google, she didn't say what position she would hold, but with Irene's identity and status, she went to Google and immediately became the Queen of Google. The entire Google's finances, personnel, management rights, etc., basically went to Irene. In hand, even if she is not the president of Google!

   "KPCB is willing to invest in Google, 30 million US dollars in exchange for 10% of Google's equity!"

Khosla knew that at this time, there was some suspicion of slap in the face. He didn't want it when Google estimated the value of one million US dollars before, but now he actually took out 30 million US dollars, just in exchange for 10% of Google's equity and got a Google board of directors 's admission ticket.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin have seen it today, and it's an eye-opening feeling. After a while, Google's valuation has soared from less than one million dollars to four hundred and sixty-six One hundred thousand dollars, and now it has soared to three hundred million dollars!

   is such a dream. It is estimated that it cannot be done like this. The speed of the money printing machine cannot keep up with the soaring valuation of Google. It is too fast.

  It is just such a blink of an eye, Larry Page and Sergey Brin also experienced a Silicon Valley legend, from worthless, and now they become multi-millionaires? !

  Larry Page and Sergey Brin, their hands holding the wine glass, were a little pale because they were too hard, and looked at Song Yang nervously.

From Stanford, Larry Page and Sergey Brin naturally have self-knowledge. Since Song Yang proposed to invest in Google just now, the two of them have consciously corrected their positions. Song Yang is now Google's major shareholder.

   As for remorse? !

  It takes a lot of brain cramps to say things that go back and don't want Song Yang to invest.

Why did Irene want to join Google, why did Khosla rush, and put out tens of millions of dollars to invest in Google. The premise of all this is that Song Yang wants to invest in Google, and he is optimistic about Google. Otherwise, Google is still the same. Google, which is disrespectful, has so many brands to search for, just like a butcher. Without a butcher, you can't eat meat, right?

   It has to be said that to be a partner of KPCB Ventures, one of the twin stars of Silicon Valley venture capital, Khoslar definitely has the courage.

   Seeing that Google might be about to soar into the sky, I immediately wanted to spend a lot of money to enter the market, without hesitation, nor did I mention reporting to the KPCB board of directors.

Hearing that KPCB Ventures wanted to send money to the door and provide ammunition to Google, Song Yang was naturally satisfied, but he invested 30 million US dollars and wanted to take away 10% of Google's equity, Song Yang was naturally satisfied. Yang was a little dissatisfied.

  Song Yang got the golden signboard, plus Irene's participation, and the resources invested by ICQ, PayPal, Xue Leshan online platform, etc. If there is an open tender, some of them will be taken advantage of, and they are willing to spend money to smash Google.

   "100 million US dollars, KPCB venture capital, you can get 10% of Google's equity!"

Larry Page, who had just taken a sip of wine, coughed suddenly, and Sergey Brin was not much better. Just now, Khosla gave Google a valuation of $300 million, and they felt that it was exaggerated enough. Compared to Google's previous valuation, this has increased by more than 300 times.

   But now, Song Yang has again tripled Google's valuation to an astonishing $1 billion, which is rightly cutting the leeks of KPCB venture capital.

Khosla raised his head and glanced at Larry Page, the "lucky ones" who had just become billionaires from multimillionaires. Amazing VC!

   Now it seems that giving Google $100 million in exchange for a 10% stake in Google seems to be a bit of a cut.

  Cocosla is betting that Google's future valuation is definitely more than one billion dollars, betting that Google can be listed on the Nasdaq!

   Seeing Khosla's venture capital investment of 100 million U.S. dollars, he didn't even make a bargain, and he agreed. Song Yang knew that he had already made up his mind.

Song Yang nodded to Marcus and asked him to formulate an agreement. With KPCB Venture Capital's US knife, it was enough to survive Google's early development. When Google's advertising revenue was on the right track, it would be another one. When the money printing machine is turned on, there is no need to worry about whether the money is enough...

When Google went public, it was not bad at all. The bidding advertising model made advertisers rush to send money for Google. There was no debt at all. Venture capital companies and Wall Street wanted to invest in Google, but they could not find the opportunity to send money. As a last resort, they began to force Google to go public, so that they could get Google's equity, otherwise how dare Google use the "Dutch auction" to sell stocks at sky-high prices to raise funds.

   "In the future of the Internet, there will only be search, and there will be no portals!"

Song Yang raised his glass, and Irene and Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Khosla had a drink, and then the first sentence of the opening sentence was amazing again, which made Larry Page stunned. there.

   Yahoo, as the representative of the portal website, is now very popular. Google wants to rush to acquire it, but no one wants Google.

   Now Song Yang told them that in the future, Google will be much more popular than Yahoo, or even replace Yahoo? !

   Not to mention Larry and the others whose three views were severely impacted today, Khosla had to take a gulp of wine to suppress the shock.

   "Of course, this does not happen overnight, but in the future, search may become one of the mainstream of the Internet, just like today's browsers, become the door to enter the Internet industry!"

   "What Google wants to do now is to become the largest search brand in the Internet market!"
