Mark immediately stood up, invited Sophia in, sat in his seat and said, "I'll have a drink and talk with Donald."

Donald said, "yes, mark is too generous. I'm embarrassed to accept it. I can't help anything with my equity. Megan, they pay and contribute."

Mark said, "I paid for you."

Sophia said, "mark is the soul of mm. Without mark, it's just an empty shell. Megan, even if she has more money, she can't create such a situation. Chainsaw is an IP, and Wall Street's valuation of it is no less than $100 million."

Mark said confidently, "even if someone takes $100 million, I won't sell it."

Sophia said, "you don't have to refuse the gift given by your brother. Other people's children fight for money and our family is humble. I'm proud of you. The family motto of the ronaldson family is that the strength of brotherhood is strong. I'm glad to see that."

Donald said, "if I refuse, I am suspected of undermining unity?"

Mark said, "yes!"

Donald said, "our distance is getting bigger and bigger."

Mark said, "our brother doesn't have to compare these. You'll do the same if you change places?"

Donald said, "yes, mark, you've made so much money. What are you going to buy? Luxury or super sports car? "

Mark smiled, "do you have any suggestions?"

Donald said: "luxury houses and super sports cars will depreciate, and cash out is not easy at the critical time. I suggest you invest in the Internet, which is the fastest growing industry with great development space. Will there be another wealth myth created by bill and Larry?"

Mark moved in his heart and said, "in fact, I am also optimistic about the Internet and have planned how to spend this money. I am optimistic about a company, but they are not listed companies and can't buy their shares. They don't accept investment at present."

Sophia said, "what company do you like? Did you mention Google last time you recommended Amazon? "

Mark said, "I think it has great potential for development. In the case of the Internet technology bubble and the collapse of the whole city, it can achieve profitability."

Donald also said: "Guge has great investment value. Its search engine is essential for surfing the Internet. There are many similar products on the market, but they are not a threat to it." As he spoke, he turned on Mark's computer and searched the Internet. It was all about brother Gu.

Sophia said with a smile, "it's rare that your brothers have such a consensus. I know Gu Ge. Sequoia Capital was founded in 1972. Sequoia Capital has a total of 18 funds, with a total management capital of more than US $4 billion. It has invested in more than 500 companies, more than 200 have successfully listed, and more than 100 have successfully exited through mergers and acquisitions, Sequoia Capital, as the world's largest VC (venture capitalist), has invested in a number of famous technology companies such as apple computer, Cisco, Oracle and Yahoo, which once created the Sequoia phenomenon established by many famous American enterprises around Sequoia Capital for more than 30 years. At present, the total market value of the companies it invests in exceeds 10% of the total value of the Nasdaq market. "

Mark said, "do you have any way to invest?"

Sophia said, "the dune road in Monroe Park in San Francisco is not too wide. The buildings along the road are simple in color and there are too many trees. Most of the two or three storey buildings built in the first half of the 20th century only show wooden low sloping roofs. On weekdays, the sun, tree shadows and the undulating hills across the road form a group of quiet scenery, Through the cracks of the shutters, in contrast to this quiet and ordinary scene, this long road is called "Wall Street on the west coast of the United States" by some people because it is densely covered with hundreds of venture capital companies in charge of $300 billion. Although there is no Wall Street Style dignity or aristocracy here, just think that since intel was founded in 1976, the vast majority of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley have been supported and expanded by investors here. We can see why it is called Wall Street on the east bank. "

Sophia drank a glass of beer and added, "the investor in Guge is Sequoia Capital superstar Michael mo

Ritz, he rob Peter to pay Paul Don Valantine and YAHOO, and invest in CISCO and Pingguo's Michael, Moritz and Arthur Locke, John Toure, who invested in Intel in the early years, and call it the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the industry. This is a very powerful person, but the technology bubble has caused him great losses, and has been taking the Paypal to make up for the west, and to make up for the West's KPCB. It is rumored that he tried to operate Guge's listing to recover the defeat. In fact, he has put forward a financing plan to our bank, but the risk assessment committee believes that Internet technology stocks cannot recover in the short term and rush into the market. Now the cold winter of the Internet has passed and is slowly recovering, but it is too early to enter the market on a large scale. "

Mark said, "maybe in this way, we can buy shares at a favorable price. How many shares can I exchange for Guge with my $40 million?"

Mark found the information through the mobile phone Internet in his brain. Google was listed in August 2004 with a valuation of 1.8 billion. At that time, the market generally thought that the valuation was too high. Who knows, he still appreciated. By 2017, the market value exceeded 400 billion, second only to Pingguo. It is the second largest company in the world and a super big Mac.

Mark saw the continuous vibration of the mobile phone and prompted a message. Now he was talking happily and it was an extremely critical moment. He simply turned off the mobile phone.

Sophia said, "I have to test Moritz's tone to know that its investment in Guge is only $20 million. Although it has not announced its equity, I estimate it will not be less than 30%

Donald listened to their conversation while searching for information on the Internet. He said: "brother Gu has been founded for five years and has more than 500 employees. Because he has not been listed, he has not announced his revenue, but its real value should be about 200 million. Now Moritz, a super broker, is listed and the market is rising. Many people want to take the opportunity to speculate and artificially raise the market price, I don't think I can buy much. "

Mark listened to their tone and bought equity instead of stocks. He pressed his excited heart and said, "how many will there be?"

Sophia said, "about 10 percent."

Mark was so excited that he jumped up and said, "if I had 100 million dollars, how much can I buy?"

Sophia said, "where do you get so much money? oh If you restructure your assets and re mortgage, you should be able to get us $100 million, but the risk is a little big. The bank risk assessment committee can't see the market of the Internet. Last time, the technology bubble evaporated US $5 trillion, which is equivalent to half a year's GDP of the United States. It's frightening. Investment should be diversified, and eggs can't be put in one basket. "

Mark said, "I'll buy Guge's equity. I'll buy as much as I can. I decided to set up a foundation and transfer all my equity to the foundation. I account for 75%, and Donald and Keira account for 12.5% respectively."

Mark searched the whole network and found that there was no better investment project with higher return. He had a large number of Guge shares to ensure that they would not be excessively diluted. In ten years, he would become a super rich man. With the above books, he could hardly imagine how rich the oil and water were.

Only when Donald and Keira are involved and the interests are shared, will Sophia make every effort to sell, and only people like Sophia, a bank executive with a consortium background, can grab food from Sequoia Capital. Mark can be sure that even if he has $200 million in his hand and takes it to Moritz or Guge company, people may not see it.

Donald said, "wait, what's our business? We're just giving advice for your business, not taking the opportunity to ask for benefits. "

Mark said, "this is a big fat sheep. I can't eat it alone. Why not eat it together?"

Sophia smiled. Mark was very smart. He wanted to take the equity from Sequoia Zipeng and brother Gu. Even if he did it himself, he couldn't do it without the help of the family. He had to explain to his father with all his strength, or even borrow the power of the family. The reason for a stepson is not sufficient. If he is seeking some benefits for his grandson and granddaughter, even if the family gossip, Father will also open one eye and close one eye. Sharing interests is the best way.

Sophia said, "mark, are you worried that I won't try my best without sharing some benefits?"

Mark said, "it's a big cake. How can I eat it alone without dividing my brothers and sisters?"

Sophia patted him on the shoulder and said to Donald, "this is your own business. Mark provides funds. You have contacts. It's time to ask your grandfather to come out. There are not many people who can make Moritz yield. Your external justice is one of them."

Mark said, "yes, buddy, it's your turn."

Donald said, "I'm sorry to take you more than ten million in this way."

Mark said, "what's wrong with everyone working together to make the cake bigger and share it together? Besides, without your help, I couldn't get $100 million. This is a project that will succeed only if we work together. Won't you veto it? " Donald is the grandson recognized and loved by old ronsen. With his lobbying, old ronsen will help.

Donald said, "if I refuse..."

Mark replied, "I'll be angry."

Donald smiled and said, "OK!" They hit a fist and made an agreement in the name of gang Ji.

Sophia said, "it's getting late. Let's have a rest early. We won't say anything until Christmas."

Mark and Donald smiled. They hugged each other before they separated.

Black has been sending more than a dozen messages to mark. He doesn't reply to any of them. She thinks mark is angry. The man is so stingy. Black calls and tries to explain to him. Unexpectedly, mark turns off the power. Black is so angry that he smashes his cell phone on the bed

, scolded, "mark, you bastard!"
