Chapter 875 The Great King's Flag Changed at the City Head

Hearing that Song Yang wanted to invest in Google, Khosla wanted to let KPCB Venture Capital get involved and take a ride, but then, he heard something that surprised him.

ICQ CEO Erin Dougherty going to Google? !
Regardless of Irene's ability, how she is doing in ICQ now, with just a $4000 billion CEO status, Irene can basically be ranked in the top five or even the top five in the ranking of American professional managers. three!

Such a person, no matter what the reason is, leaves ICQ and joins Google, as long as the news gets out, it is estimated that the entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street will be fried directly.

If you only invest money, KPCB Ventures can still compete with Song Yang, but if Irene joins Google, what kind of competition will KPCB Ventures have? Who can KPCB Ventures bring in who can compare with Irene in the world? As the president of Google? !
Larry Page and Sergey Brin both held their wine glasses and looked at Irene blankly. At this time, there was only a "buzz" in their minds. They didn't know if what they heard was true.

Today, Larry and Brin came here with some expectations, but no matter how much they expected, they never expected that such a big pie could fall from the sky!
Not to mention getting Song Yang's investment, Irene, the queen of the Internet, is going to visit Google?
It doesn't matter what the outside world thinks about Irene, but in the eyes of the small and medium-sized Internet companies in Silicon Valley and laymen, Irene is the queen of the Internet industry. She is one of the first big figures to join the Internet industry and is one of the founding team members of Double-Click , 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.

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

Such a "big man" proposed to join Google, which is little-known and can't be sold by selling himself, how can it not be surprising.

"certainly!"

No matter how talented Larry Page and Sergey Brin were, when they spoke at this time, they couldn't help stuttering.

No matter how slow the brain is, no matter how inexperienced people, they all know that Google is afraid that it will soar into the sky. Yesterday it was looked down upon by Yahoo, Excite, etc. After today, I am afraid that some of you will not be able to climb up.

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

Khosla smiled wryly. Silicon Valley is a magical place. It may be worthless yesterday, but today it may need to look up.

Khosla can be regarded as a veteran of Silicon Valley, but no matter how rich his experience is, he never thought that a "broken" company like Google can have the experience of turning a crow into a phoenix, and it can only be completed in an instant. Not to mention the venture capital, but Irene can also be the president.

Even though Irene only said that she would join Google and didn't say what position she would hold, but with Irene's status and status, she went to Google and immediately became the queen of Google. The finance, personnel, and management rights of the entire Google basically belonged to Irene. In hand, even if she is not the president of Google!

"KPCB is willing to invest in Google, 3000 million US dollars in exchange for 10% of Google's equity!"

Khosla knew that at this time, there was some suspicion of slapping his face. He didn’t want Google’s valuation of 100 million dollars before, but now he actually took out 3000 million dollars in exchange for 10% of Google’s equity and a piece of Google’s board of directors. ticket.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin saw it today, and it felt like an eye-opener. In just a short while, Google’s valuation soared from less than 100 million US dollars to 460 million US dollars , and now it has directly soared to [-] million US dollars!

It's just a fucking dream, and I probably can't do it like this. The speed of the money printing machine can't keep up with the soaring valuation of Google, it's too fast.

In the blink of an eye, Larry Page and Sergey Brin also experienced a legend in Silicon Valley, from being worthless to becoming multi-millionaires? !

Larry Page and Sergey Brin, holding the wine glasses with too much force, turned white and looked at Song Yang nervously.

Coming out of Stanford, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are naturally self-aware. Since Song Yang proposed to invest in Google just now, the two of them have consciously adjusted their positions. Song Yang is now Is the majority shareholder of Google.

As for repenting? !
People with a lot of brain cramps will say that they regret it and don't want Song Yang to invest.

Why did Irene join Google, why Khosla rushed to invest tens of millions of dollars in Google, the premise of all this is that Song Yang wants to invest in Google and is optimistic about Google, otherwise, Google is still the same I don’t like Google, there are so many brands to search, it’s like a butcher, without a butcher, you can’t eat meat, right?

It has to be said that Khosla definitely has the courage to become a partner of KPCB Venture Capital, one of the twin stars of Silicon Valley venture capital.

Seeing that Google was about to soar into the sky, I immediately wanted to spend a lot of money to enter the market, without any hesitation, and did not mention reporting to the KPCB board of directors.

Hearing that KPCB Venture Capital wanted to send money to Google and provide ammunition to Google, Song Yang was naturally satisfied, but he just invested $3000 million and wanted to take away 10% of Google’s equity. I am a little dissatisfied.

Song Yang won the gold-lettered signboard, plus Irene's joining, and the resources invested by ICQ, PayPal, Xueleshan online platform, etc. If there is an open bidding, some people will take advantage of it and are willing to spend money on Google.

"10 million US dollars, KPCB venture capital, can get [-]% of Google's equity!"

Larry Page, who had just taken a sip of his drink, coughed suddenly, and Sergey Brin was not much better. Just now, Khosla gave Google a valuation of [-] million dollars, and they felt that it was exaggerated enough. Compared with Google's previous valuation, this has increased by more than three hundred times.

But now, Song Yang tripled Google's valuation again, reaching an astonishing one billion US dollars. This is definitely cutting the leeks of KPCB's venture capital.

Khosla raised his head and glanced at Larry Page, the "lucky guy" who had just become a billionaire from a multi-millionaire. Amazing VC!

Now it seems that giving Google $10 million in exchange for a [-]% stake in Google seems to have been cut off.

But Khosla is betting, betting on Google's future valuation, definitely more than one billion dollars, betting that Google can be listed on NASDAQ!

Seeing that Khosla agreed to the $[-] million venture capital without even countering the price, Song Yang knew that he had already made up his mind.

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

When Google first went public, it was not short of money at all. The bidding advertising model made advertisers rush to send money to Google. There was no debt at all. Venture capital companies and Wall Street wanted to invest in Google, but they couldn’t find opportunities 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 Internet, there will only be search, and there will be no portals!"

Song Yang raised his glass, had a drink with Irene, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Khosla, and then said something amazing in the first sentence, leaving Larry Page stunned over there.

Yahoo, as a representative of portal websites, is now very popular. Google wants to rush to buy it, but no one else wants Google.

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

Not to mention Larry and the others whose three views have been severely impacted today, Khosla had to take a big gulp of wine to suppress the shock at this time.

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

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