Reborn Financial Overlord

Shen Jiannan was very satisfied with this point. Before that, Tang Dongfang had worked in both Apple and Hewlett-Packard, mainly doing engineering computer research.

The salary is about more than 6000 US dollars, which is already considered middle class in the United States.

But this person, who has not completely forgotten his parents at home, will send money home from time to time.

Although a very common thing.

No, Shen Jiannan felt that this kind of person at least had a conscience.

of course.

People like Shen Jiannan never believe that a person's conscience is worth much. It is nothing more than a Chinese-American name, which can avoid the review of American regulatory policies in the future.

The company area is not large.

Two-story office building, about 500 square meters.

There are Indian engineers, Chinese engineers, and white engineers. According to the requirements of Shen Jiannan, they mainly study the application of browsers.

at this time.

With the arrival of Shen Jiannan, Tang Dongfang called together several executives of the company and made introductions respectively.

Listen to these guys debrief on developments.

Shen Jiannan didn't even move his eyelids, obviously not interested. After we met and greeted Tang Dongfang, he said to Tang Dongfang: "You know about the NCSA of the University of Illinois."

Tang Dongfang was puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Yes. They developed the MOSAIC browser, which has more color display functions than the World Wide Web."

Shen Jiannan nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

This is a test question.

Tang Dongfang thought for a while and said, "It's more attractive than the World Wide Web, but it doesn't have much advantage in reading materials and working."

Really bad answer.

However, Shen Jiannan also knows that people's horizons are improved little by little, and it is not an overnight achievement to break the fixed logic of thinking.

"For the future development of Face Valley, we don't need to develop towards business. Why do companies need information? Remember, it is information technology. What we want to do is to allow everyone to be on the Internet and through our software. See the world."

Isn't this... the role of the media?

Tang Dongfang frowned, puzzled.

In his understanding, computers are used for calculations, while information is still a strange thing.

Moreover, the major media giants have monopolized information, and it is difficult to compete with these giants with just a browser.

Shen Jiannan saw Tang Dongfang's bewilderment, and felt a little helpless in his heart. It might take a long time for him to become a real shopkeeper.

He patiently explained: "For example, you can read newspapers through the Internet, and news from all over the world can be transmitted to all parts of the world through the Internet within a few seconds, or you can watch movies, TV series, etc. through a browser. Or, we can use some kind of software for instant social networking.”

"What we want to do is a world, an Internet world, and anything that can be done in reality can be done here."

"Of course, except for having children."

"So for the future development of the company, my request is that you solve the barriers related to technology."

"..."

An internet world?

Can listen to music.

Read newspapers.

social contact.

See a movie.

Even for business transactions.

Tang Dongfang's vision seemed to be opened, and there was a kind of enlightenment in his heart.

Founded in 1867, the University of Illinois is one of the most influential public university systems in the United States. It has the reputation of "Public Ivy" and is well-known all over the world.

Among them, UC Urbana-Champaign is the top comprehensive research university in the United States. It is also a founding member of the Big Ten in the United States and a member of the Association of American Universities. Its comprehensive strength in engineering ranks among the top five in the United States. level.

Thirty of the alumni of this university who have studied and worked here have won the Nobel Prize.

And this university also cultivated Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, the originators of the Internet. It was the web browser software Mosaic and Netscape developed by them that finally opened the door to the Internet world.

The Netscape company he founded is one of the world's Internet giants.

The reason why the two can achieve such achievements is also inseparable from the world-renowned American Computer Center of the University of Illinois.

at this time.

Mark Anderson is facing the computer, perfecting some procedural loopholes.

Because Mosaic is more usable, but there are often some positioning errors, and Anderson wants to improve these things so that they can be fully applied.

Suddenly, someone shouted outside the door: "Mark, someone is looking for you."

Who will be looking for me?

Mark Anderson was puzzled.

When I went out and found a strange face, I was even more confused.

It was Matthew Lucas who came, he showed a smile, stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. I saw Mosaic on the Silicon Valley Technology News, I am very interested in it, do you have time to chat?"

Oh, God!

Nanbo Bank, the first international capital!

Originally, Mark Anderson was a little wary of this stranger he had never met before, but when he heard the name of First International Capital, he immediately shook hands with Lucas excitedly.

no way.

The name of First International Capital is really too big.

It made Europe uneasy, and God knows how much money it made.

It is even rumored that even the new president has the support of First International Capital.

Such a giant.

Whoever encounters it will not be excited.

Mark Anderson is still very young after all, only 22 years old, completely unaware that First International Capital is a giant that eats people without spitting out bones.

Excitedly shook hands with Matthew Lucas and said, "Of course, of course, this is my honor."

Matthew Lucas looked at this excited young man with a strange look in his eyes. As an elite investment banker, he could tell that the young man in front of him was already overwhelmed by himself.

A sense of pride arises spontaneously.

Going anywhere to report the name of Capital One will always attract all kinds of admiration and awe.

This feeling is awesome.

Led by Matthew Lucas, the two arrived at a nearby coffee shop.

After ordering coffee, Lucas stirred the spoon and asked, "I'm very interested in your Mosaic, how much do you plan to sell it for?"

Sell ​​money?

Mark Anderson hesitated for a while and said: "This is the joint achievement of Jim and I. We don't want to sell him for money."

Lucas was not surprised by this, and said: "It is very ideal. At my age, I also want to make a career. However, I think you also know that investing in a company requires at least a million dollars to start. , and it is not so easy to compete with other companies.”

This is the truth.

In addition to technology, starting a business requires a lot of financial support.

Whether it is an emerging industry in Silicon Valley or in the past, without capital, it is impossible to start a business.

Although Mark Anderson's family is middle-class and has mastered technology, it does not mean that he will be able to start a business successfully.

This is very unrealistic.

Just like Tesla.

Despite his extremely superb technology, in his field, no one can surpass him.

but died in poverty.

And Edison, who didn't need technology, drove this genius to a corner.

Born in a capitalist country, Mark Anderson clearly knows the horror of capital.

After considering his tone, Mark Anderson said, "If you want to buy the achievements of me and Jim, how much are you going to pay us?"

Thinking of the boss's explanation, Matthew Lucas took out a checkbook from his pocket and said, "You fill it out yourself."

Green checkbook, thick stack.

It feels like a dollar.

Mark Anderson stared blankly at the checkbook in his hand, feeling a little dazed from being hit.

Just fill in?

If you fill in 1000 million, wouldn't you get 1000 million US dollars?

$1000?

How much can you buy?

The girl I like flashed through my mind, the luxury car that I have been fancying for a long time, also flashed through my mind, and the big villa I have been envious of for a long time...

Mark Anderson swallowed.

But in the end, I dare not really fill it out by myself.

What a joke.

Capitalists have never been philanthropists, and they fill in randomly. It is best to weigh whether the money will kill people.

Looking at the checkbook in front of him, Mark Anderson thought of many things and suppressed the greed in his heart, but he also made sure that the other party was determined to obtain the results of himself and his friends.

how much is it?

It doesn't make sense.

reject?

just forget it.

Even outstanding geniuses like Tesla and Jobs cannot resist the power of capital, and have no right to refuse at all.

After some careful thinking, Mark Anderson said: "If we buy the results as shares, how many shares can we get?"

This is a very clever answer.

Matthew Lucas lightly stretched out a finger.

Mark Anderson looked at it and said dissatisfiedly, "Ten percent? That's too little."

Matthew Lucas shook his head and said, "No, one percent. Besides, what we need is not the current Mosaic, but you and your partner."

Mark Anderson's expression changed, he looked a little angry, and he clenched his fists and said, "One percent, we will never accept it."

Matthew Lucas was unmoved, and said lightly, "You should listen to me."

Anderson thought for a while, but didn't move with a sullen face.

Matthew Lucas took a sip of coffee and said, "We have established an information technology company in Silicon Valley, and the current investment is 300 million US dollars. Next, we will establish the same company in every state and even the world. .I can’t tell you the total investment amount, but you can imagine how much money will be invested by one hundred or one thousand such group companies.”

"As for you and your partner joining the group, we can each give you [-]% of the shares. Are you satisfied with this?"

A $300 million company, a hundred, a thousand?

Mark Anderson's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe what he heard.

Doesn't that mean that if you own one percent, if it is a hundred companies, you will get 300 million US dollars, and if you have a thousand companies, you will get 3000 million US dollars.

The anger just now disappeared.

Instead there was a thrill and excitement.

Mark Anderson said quickly: "I'm sorry for my attitude just now. I am very satisfied with this condition, but I need to discuss it with my partner."

Matthew Lucas said calmly: 'Of course, this is your right.But believe me, you will be lucky to join First International Capital in the future. '
