Chapter 265 Get on the bus first and then make up the ticket
When Chris Jain heard Song Yang's last words, the excitement on his face was almost beyond words. Song Yang's words almost accepted him as a partner!
Just like his boss, Karimiya, he is eligible to acquire equity in some projects, just like America Telecom, whose valuation has soared now, and Kyrimiya holds the equity in America Telecom, which makes his worth directly Almost doubled!
Now, Jain has also received the same treatment as Kerimiya, and if there are new projects, he can also get the equity in them. Point salary and bonus are much more.

People make money and birds die for food. If you don’t give any benefits, how can you make Jain work hard, “As long as you can, let Comelica Bank reach a cooperation with PayPal. In the future, I will nominate you to be the independent director of PayPal. Get more than 1% equity treatment, if you want to sell this equity in the future, PayPal's board of directors can start a repurchase plan!"

This is equivalent to giving Chris Jain 1% of PayPal's equity. Although it cannot be sold to other people, if he wants to sell it, PayPal's board of directors will buy it back from Jain.

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

Think about it, Song Yang expended so much energy, he did not hesitate to take the risk of going to war with several giants, but also to get PayPal, Jia En can guess blindly that PayPal will definitely not be cheap in the future.

Even if it's only 1%, if they cash out in the future, then Jain's worth will probably be able to rise sharply.

With Song Yang's promise, Jia En's enthusiasm soared. Working hard for others and working hard for himself are two completely different states.

Song Yang approached Comerica Bank to cooperate because PayPal needed a settlement center. PayPal did not have a banking license and no relevant talents, so they played on their own as soon as they came up, which might cause them to stretch their hips.

The Comerica Bank is not a giant bank, but it is also one of the top [-] banks in America. It has business centers in all American states and some overseas regions. PayPal can use the Comerica Bank to conduct business without worrying about being caught Merida swallowed it in one gulp. If it were Citigroup, Morgan and other major banks, PayPal would have been slapped to death from the very beginning.

After talking for a long time, Song Yang and Jia En decided to adopt the strategy of getting on the bus first and then buying tickets for PayPal, that is, to start the business first, and then to get payment licenses, bank licenses, fund licenses and other things.

First, complete all these businesses with the Bank of Comerica, attract hundreds or even tens of millions of users to the PayPal platform, and then discuss with the American Finance, Banking Supervision and Administration, etc. Less than these licenses!
"I will arrange for the director of Kerimiya to meet with Song you as soon as possible." Jia En said to Song Yang.

Song Yang thought for a while, "Wait until I come back from Asia."

Recently, after Song Yang finished dealing with RICK's affairs, he will take a large team to start a trip to Asia. In name, he will spread the brilliance of the American Internet to the Internet desert of Asia. It was planned, and it was impossible to delay any longer.

Moreover, PayPal is still under development, and it will take at least half a year before its launch. This thing is no better than Hotmail and ICQ, and it cannot tolerate any loopholes. This involves countless people. If something goes wrong, it may be a real thunderstorm, so the development of PayPal is very cautious, even if the function is a little less, it must be absolutely safe!
"Besides PayPal, there are several other projects that require the cooperation of Jaen and you." Song Yang said to Jaen.

Pulling wool is not shabby, and being able to catch a sheep and keep pulling it is even more skillful!

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

"Of course!"

Regarding Song Yang's news, Jia En and Comelica Bank have always paid close attention to it. How could Jia En not know about Song Yang's activities in Hollywood.

Many people in the outside world of America are waiting to see the joke about Song Yang's big money and more than two billion US dollars being thrown at Hollywood. It is rumored that Song Yang was tricked by those Hollywood scammers, not to mention a few.

Jain didn't mention a lot of media, thinking that "The Matrix" might become an epic-level bad movie, and Song Yang might lose all his money. Instead, he boasted, "IMDB World Movie Museum, now the states of America, and England can all We're discussing this!"

Regardless of the "Matrix" movie, IMDB's announcement of building a world film collection museum has caused a lot of trouble in the film industry, as well as in the American states and even overseas.

For this kind of pretentious thing, it can also bring jobs and tourism to the local area. All states in America want to have film museums located there. Of course, Los Angeles is the most active. It has Hollywood itself, and if you add a world film museum, then Bigger took it to the next level.

And 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 holding of other international film festivals such as Cannes and Toronto Also quite positive.

On the whole, IMDB has successfully broken the circle by virtue of the name of building the "World Film Museum". IMDB, which was originally 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 Films wants to borrow a sum of money from the Comerica Bank, which will be used for the filming of "The Matrix" and later film box office and peripheral income to repay the funds!"

Chris Jain's smile froze on his face. He had an inexplicable feeling that he shouldn't be here today. First PayPal and then Western Films. There is no such thing as a good job. Either the risk is huge or the pit is huge. , and then looked at Eric who was staring at him, Jain didn't know what else was waiting for him.

"Song," Jia En felt that the quarrel was a little dry, "I am very willing to cooperate with Western Films. I believe that Western Films will definitely develop in Song's hands, but the "Matrix" project may really be difficult to pass. The investment review of the Comerica Bank..."

The major banks have always stayed away from film projects like Song Yang who was born halfway and entered Hollywood, because the success rate is too low. If one is not careful, the bank will have to pay for the money lent to the film company. went in.

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

Jain just shook his head again and again, but he didn't mention the loan from Western Films. Let alone Jain, even the directors of the Comelica Bank didn't dare to invest the money easily, for fear that the meat buns and dogs would be gone. return.

Song Yang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and then thought for a while and said, "Western Films will invest 50% in "The Matrix 4000", with an investment of [-] million US dollars, and Western Films will use Weta Special Effects Studio to invest the rest of the funds. , IMDB as collateral, obtained from Comelica Bank!"

The nominal capital of the first part of The Matrix was 8000 million US dollars, Western Films directly invested 4000 million US dollars, and the remaining half was invested by the Comerica Bank. The risk is not too great.

With the addition of Weta Special Effects Studio and IMDB as collateral, there is actually no loss, but Jain still said, "America Telecom should also join as a guarantor!"

Now Jain doesn't believe anyone, he just believes in American Telecom. At least American Telecom seems to have hope to make money, and can pay back the tens of millions of dollars.

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

The matter between PayPal and Western Films was settled, and Song Yang's troubles were partially resolved.

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

"Funk," Jia En scolded directly after seeing this posture, for Eric, Jia En didn't have such a good temper as he did for Song Yang, "Eric, why did you just say it directly, how much do you want?" Beautiful knife!"

Eric held out two fingers directly to Jain, and when Jain saw it, he smiled and said, "2000 million dollars?"

"Two hundred million dollars!"

The brandy just poured into his mouth was sprayed out by Jain. Jain, who has also lived in Texas for many years, also has a temper. RICK club, how much is it worth if you sell it all, who do you think I am, I can get you [-] million dollars?!"

When Jia En was scolding vigorously, Eric pointed at Song Yang calmly, "I am indeed not qualified, but Song is now the largest personal interaction in the RICK club company, holding 35% of RICK's shares, RICK It also holds 5% of ICQ’s shares.”

Eric said it calmly, and then he saw Jain's expression of holding back what he said just now.

Jia En can call RICK a broken night club, maybe call Song Yang, holding a 5% stake in ICQ, RICK can already lick his face and say that he is a technology company, these days, isn’t it all fake Dog meat, once RICK is listed, it can also be added to the Internet concept stocks.

After holding back for a long time, Jain finally asked, "So Song, Eric, what are you going to do?"

Jain really didn't know how to speak, and voted for a night show company with [-] million US dollars, which is enough to buy half of the night shows in America.
