America’s Road To Fame

Hearing Nelson's news, William Chen finally let go of his dangling heart.

During this period of time, William Chen had two main concerns. The first situation is that Siri directly rejects his acquisition request, so that he can only seek to temporarily invest in shares and hold a part of Siri's shares.

The second situation is that during this time, Apple's Steve Jobs will appear again and make an acquisition request for Siri.

If that's the case, even if Siri rejects the other party's acquisition, it will be difficult to agree to William Chen's acquisition request in the short term, because this will obviously offend Jobs and cause their SiriAPP to be removed from the AppStore. risks of.

Fortunately, neither of these two situations happened. Nielsen has already started the acquisition negotiation of Siri Company under the instruction of William Chen.

This kind of dangling waiting is not good for Chen William. The last time I felt this way was when he bought the New York Observer.

Since then, with the increase of Chen William's assets. There was not much turbulence in the investment after that, so he could not help but feel a little proud.

This is also easy to understand. With the experience of the past life and the help of the bank in the future, this kind of emotion is easy to breed.

But at this moment, he once again tasted the taste of waiting for judgment, which is equivalent to sounding the alarm for him.

Even if he has various advantages, he still needs to be careful in the face of a behemoth like Apple.

What's more, there are still many such behemoths in the United States, and he still needs to continue to work hard.

At this time, Siri's shares are composed, the three founders still hold 60% of the shares, and the investors of the two rounds of financing hold the remaining 40% of the shares.

In the end, an agreement was reached, and William Chen's Meta Investment Company will invest 160 million US dollars at a price of 200 million US dollars worth of Siri's company to acquire 40% of the company's shares in the hands of the three founders and investors respectively.

In this way, after the acquisition is completed, Meta Investment Company will hold 80% of the shares of Siri, and the three founders will hold a total of 20% of the shares.

Finally, Meta Investment Company will continue to invest 66.66 million US dollars in Siri Company. After this investment, the total shareholding ratio of the three founders will become 15%, and Meta Investment Company's shareholding will become 85%.

Through this series of operations, the absolute control of Siri Company by Meta Investment Company held by William Chen has been completed.

After the acquisition, Siri will continue to be managed by the three founders, continue to improve the SiriAPP, and improve the level of artificial intelligence.

In this way, all the 500 million US dollars allocated to the equity investment department of Meta Investment Company have been spent, and the remaining US$16.66 million needs to be invested in Siri Company.

However, this does not mean that the task of the equity investment department has been completed. William Chen will continue to allocate funds in the profits of the securities investment department. Next, they will return to New York under the leadership of Nielsen and start working with Marvel. make contact.

"Niki, why are you here?"

After finally completing the acquisition of Siri, William Chen was in a good mood. When he returned to his home in Silicon Valley, he saw Paris' sister Nikki in the living room, chatting with her.

"I just finished filming, and then I came to see my sister. I was talking about my sister. When will the result come out."

When her sister was not paying attention, Niki gave Chen William a teasing look and said to him.

This girl is getting more and more daring, and now she dares to act a demon in front of her sister. William Chen didn't bother to pay attention to her, and went directly to Paris and sat down.

On the other hand, Paris replied to her sister's words: "It's not that fast. It will take a while for the court to start. The most annoying thing is my face. I don't know when it will return to normal. It's annoying to be bored at home all day. where."

"Then I happened to be here to stay with you for a few days." Nikki said with a smile.

"That's great, you can chat with me here. William has something to do every day, and he doesn't see anyone during the day."

Hearing Paris complaining so, William Chen thought that Nikki could come to accompany her, he was really busy right now.

Although the Siri company's affairs have been resolved, he still hopes to arrange the affairs there as soon as possible, so that he can return to New York as soon as possible.

However, although he is now in Silicon Valley, William Chen still takes time to open his mailbox every day to check the work report sent from New York, and often needs to reply by phone or email.

When William Chen was looking at the recent investment situation of the securities investment department sent by John Paulson, the door of the study was opened.

William Chen raised his head and saw Nikki quietly walk in.

"Niki, why are you here?" This scene seemed familiar, and William Chen immediately became alert. He lowered his voice slightly and said to her, "Your sister is still at home!"

"Oh, William, are you working?" Seeing that she walked to William Chen's desk and was about to look at the computer, William Chen immediately closed the laptop, and she couldn't help but say with some dissatisfaction:

"How mysterious, aha, you're not looking at unhealthy things, are you?"

William Chen glared at her and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, there are secrets of my company here, of course, you can't just show it to others. You better go out quickly, and you won't be able to see it when your sister comes over."

"Who cares? You are so timid, William, it's not like when you were in RB, you forgot to see you and that female star when I came back that day..."

"Shut up, Nikki, did you forget who was crying and begging for mercy?" I have to say that the two Hilton sisters were exactly the same...

"Really? It seems that I really forgot, or brother-in-law, please help me recall it." He emphasized the word "brother-in-law" and said with a smile: "My sister just put on her face. After applying the medicine, it will take a while to wake up."

"Okay, don't make trouble, Nikki, I have to work now."

"Want to work?"

Nikki rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Then I can help you. I'm your secretary now, Nikki."

William Chen looked at Nikki, only to see that she was wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt and a grass-green pleated skirt today, but she looked more elegant.

"Look at what you're wearing now, how can you look like a secretary?"

Nikki also looked down at her clothes. She patted her head and said, "I'm not ready for today. Next time I'll dress up a bit more, so I'll do it first."

Chen William looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what trick she wanted to play again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I saw Nikki walking to Chen William's side, supporting his leg, and then got into the man in front of him. under the desk.

"What are you doing? Nikki."

Chen William looked down. At this time, Nikki only showed a head, and she smiled charmingly at Chen William.

As he started to move, he said to him, "Don't all secretaries do this kind of work? Look at your documents, I'll do it myself."

"Hi~"

I have to say that this is the first time William Chen has had such an experience.

Although he opened the laptop and continued to watch, but at this time his eyes swept through the words, but he couldn't get into his mind at all, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

At this time, the phone he placed on the table vibrated.

William Chen picked it up and saw that it was a short message, and the sender was Nozomi Sasaki.

"William, are you free? It's afternoon where you are."

William Chen checked the time by the way. It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon, so it should be less than five in the morning in Tokyo.

Why did Nozomi Sasaki get up so early? Thinking of this, William Chen immediately replied to a text message.

"What's the matter, Kiko, why did you get up so early? Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing. I was a little tired because of an announcement earlier, so I went to bed early yesterday and got up earlier today."

Just when William Chen wanted to continue replying to text messages, he received another text message from Zuo Zuo Mu Xi.

"Actually, I miss you, William, can I go to America to see you? I just have a vacation in a while."

William Chen was about to reply to her text message, but he felt that somewhere in the distant universe, a black hole gradually formed, sucking all the surrounding objects into it...
