Vol 2 Chapter 283: The Charm and Power of Capital

    "This is it, it was established in... um... April or May, I forgot, after all, it was circulated within the Harvard campus at first, requiring an internal mailbox for authentication, and I have graduated . This website was sent to me by a former classmate, saying that it is convenient to contact, well, from this perspective, the website is still interesting." Neil opened the website on the laptop that Sean found and typed in the URL. , pointing to the page and saying so to them.

    "What's the use of it?" Galen asked.

    "You and your friends are organized into a network through this platform. As long as you write about what the other party is doing, you will know that it is very convenient to communicate." Neil explained briefly.

    "That's it?" Sanders shrugged, seemingly disapproving of the site.

    "If you are interested, you can study it yourself." Neil wouldn't tell him, and he didn't know much about it. Although he registered, he basically didn't use it a few times.

    "Are you sure you want to invest?" He turned his head to look at Sean, "I don't think it's a good idea, although it gets a lot of traffic, the two people who started this site are still students, they Not necessarily having the patience to continue, and it is said that there have been rumors of plagiarism."

    "But I think it's pretty good." Sean stared at the homepage of the website, which clearly wrote the word facebook.

    Without waiting for Neil to persuade him, he has already made a decision: "I need you to be my representative, ask them if they are interested in coming to Silicon Valley, and if they want to come, I can invest Millions of people support their website, and only 35% of the equity, no interference in their management and operations - do you want to come together?"

    The latter sentence was addressed to Galen and the others.

    In the end, Neil went to New York with his checks and demands, and Galen and Sanders joined, which is what Sean said, not to mention Google example above. And under his influence, they all had some considerable savings, so they took away 5% of the shares together and shared 35% of the equity with him. It's not that I don't want more, but if there is more, the man who founded the website... Mr. Mark Zuckerberg will probably refuse.

    Sean doesn't remember how he became the king of the online social kingdom, he only remembers that facebook is worth investing in, but this does not prevent him from experiencing other people's feelings from his own perspective. In the company, if someone comes to invest millions and tens of millions and then ask for 35% or more of the shares, he will not agree. It's about control of the company, and if the founders have their own vision for the company's future and believe it can grow, they're bound to guard against any possibility of being squeezed out.

    Sharing this 35% stake with Galen and Sanders is no big deal, as long as Neil can meet his requirements, Sean will get the big buck anyway, and it will take at least five or six years to see to profit. Besides, Galen and Sanders have been with him for so long, and while they each have their own goals and careers and are doing well, it's time to share more. As for Neil, if he wants to invest in facebook, he can, as long as he can get another 35% of Sean's, he can still persuade Zuckerberg.

    Well, anyway, Sean is now a super-rich man, and he's quickly becoming known.

    Google's listing is also a major event, especially the market value of 20 billion or more on the first day, which directly surpassed Nike and even Lockheed Martin, and various financial media rushed to report.

      , and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

    Sean is also here, and has been mentioned many times. You know, even Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital, two well-known venture capitalists, only hold 10% and 12% respectively. % share, and he alone holds as much as 8%, and he invested after the IT bubble burst in 2000.

    Although it is not as big as Schwarzenegger and the others, the small money invested at the beginning has been exchanged for tens of thousands of times the return, but it is also worth writing about.

    "When the IT bubble burst, everyone was talking about the IT industry, lest they avoid it from time to time, a young man who had just become an actor, but invested 20 million against the current. Still very weak on Google. Now, his investment has paid off, and his shares worth nearly 2 billion have made this young star, Sean Tang, one of the youngest billionaires. It seems that he is not only in the You have a good vision in choosing the script, and you also have a good vision in investing." Fortune wrote this to Sean in its report on Google's listing.

    Although it was first reported by the financial media, the economy, finance and entertainment are basically part of each other. The actor's net worth ranking mentioned earlier is done by "Fortune" magazine. So the entertainment media quickly reprinted it, and the report that Sean made a lot of money from his Google shares and became the richest star in Hollywood quickly spread.

    If it is said that the hundreds of millions of net worth he earned with the production company in the past is only known to the insiders, and in front of outsiders he is just a newly famous actor, then the current nearly 2 billion assets are basically people All known.

    "Lucky Sean's Lucky Investment", "Investment Vision Is Just as Good" and "The Richest Star" have been published, and the content is basically biased towards the good aspects, such as Praise his vision, or be surprised that the IT industry has created a myth and so on.

    It is normal, the media can offend ordinary people, the middle class, and ordinary stars, but not the rich, or the super rich. What's more, many sources show that the other party is also a member of Google's board of directors and has connections with many bigwigs, which must be treated with caution by the media - at least until the specific situation is known.

      To further attract the curiosity of the audience, let them enter the theater for the first time.

    With the tendency of bad-mouthing that the media has shown before, it is simply impossible not to take the opportunity to make an article at this time. But now the impossible has become possible. Most of the media hardly reacted strongly. Some tabloids continued to attack Scorsese's casting vision, insisting that Sean was not suitable for the role, but the words used were like Tickle.

    Of course, those tabloids who are not in the mainstream are still attacking, but unfortunately no one pays attention.

    This is naturally the shock of Sean's exposure, but unfortunately neither Warner nor Miramax want to see such a situation, after all, they originally hoped that Sean would attract Come see more eyes.

    But they didn't say anything, a net worth of 2 billion is considered a big man no matter where, and the influence of Sean's net worth exposure is not negative. Hughes equals?

    Similarly, on the set of "Twelve Arhats", Sean also received more respect, and even Clooney's eyes changed a lot. After the release of "My Great Greek Wedding", although he regarded him as an equal figure, he still treated him like a predecessor.

    But now it can't work, although Clooney is also a rich star, not losing to the two Toms, but not to this point, so they are... more equal, even Sean Also slightly higher. As for Pete, or even Cheadle, that's even worse.

     

      , want more power.

    Sean naturally disagreed, so Vladimir talked with them for more than half a year and could not reach an agreement. However, when Google went public and Sean's net worth was revealed, the attitude of these guys Immediately made a 180-degree turn, accompanied Smiley and scrambled to provide funds, but the conditions also dropped again and again.

      Want the working capital, need to find fund financing at that time? And the benefits of Samsara Pictures in the past few years have been placed there. If the various funds on Wall Street missed it, it would be a very bad thing.

    This is the charm and power of capital.

    Of course, the biggest gain after exposure is not these, but—

    "Why? It's very simple, I think this website is cool." Sean sitting in the high-back chair raised his hands, "I haven't been to college, and I can't find that in my head. Lots of adjectives, so I can only say...it's cool, very cool, and it's going to be a wonderful world."

    The two young men behind the desk exchanged glances, the frivolous one shrugged, while the longer face smiled: "Thank you for your compliment, Sean ."

    "This is what you and your facebook deserve, Mark," Shawn laughed, "So, I think this site should have a lot of potential, and even people like me are attracted , not to mention those younger people, and with their drive, it is easy to blow up a wave, and then more people will join in, and soon this will become a social kingdom on the Internet ."

    He said sitting up straight, looking at Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, without blinking: "I believe in my investment vision, Mark, it is in 00 In 2010, I chose Google. Although it cost 20 million, Google returned me nearly 100 times the revenue not long ago. Now, it has made me choose facebook. I think that in the future, facebook can also bring 100 times the revenue, Facebook has the potential to catch up with Google!"
