My Age of Investment

   Chapter 267

  A Pilates Hall in Silicon Valley.

  A blonde woman wearing sports underwear and tight trousers split her legs into a horse, sitting on a blanket spread on the wooden floor, doing exercises, and asking the woman who is also wearing the same:

   "Kristina, how do you feel? Do you feel that the muscles throughout your body have been relieved a lot?"

  Since she is a cheerleader, the foreign girl has good physical coordination and toughness. After her legs are split into a horse, her waist is constantly leaning back.

  While doing the action, she smiled and replied: "Marisa, thank you for your introduction. I think I have fallen in love with this sport."

  Marissa Mayer had a faint smile on her face, her gaze swept across the full-bodied peaks of the foreign girl, and some envy said: "I haven't found out before, you are in such a good shape."

  The foreign girl glanced at Marisa and smiled: "Thank you, I actually feel a little fat."

  Marissa looked at the peaks where the foreign girl had been made more plump by her sports underwear, smiled and nodded, "Yes, some parts are really too fat."

  The foreign girl gave out a string of laughs. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. She and Marisa are already very familiar now, so she just joked.

   "Like the two of us, working at our desks and computers for a long time can easily lead to unbalanced muscle development.

  The Pilates course is mainly for the muscle training of the abdominal muscles, hip muscles, shoulders, back and other parts, which is very suitable for us. "

  After the course, Marissa sat on the blanket and chatted with Christina.

  The foreign girl nodded, "Yes, sitting in the office every day, I feel that my body is about to go wrong.

  Thank you very much for inviting me to join a Pilates class. After exercising, I feel that I am in a much better condition. "

  Marissa waved her hand and smiled and said: "You are welcome, in the association, we are the two closest in age, and we are engaged in the most similar occupations. We are still alumni, so naturally we have to get closer."

  The foreign girl was not stunned by Marisa's few words, she knew very well in her heart, and most of them had important matters to discuss.

  While chatting, Marisa gradually led the topic to Google Video.

   "The launch of Google Video did not cause any trouble to you, right?"

  The foreign girl smiled and said: "Of course, after Dalun was interviewed by the media that day, it immediately aroused huge public opinion.

  Now the mainstream business community in Silicon Valley thinks that we are short-sighted, and we are easily satisfied with this achievement now! "

  Marissa always had a slight smile on her face, her eyes staying on the foreign girl’s face, and after the latter finished speaking, she said lightly:

   “Of course those people can express their opinions casually, because they are not their own company, have nothing to do with them, and can speak as they please.

  Actually, after Paige and you and Darren had dinner that day, they were full of praise for both of you.

  Page thinks that your plans for Facebook and YouTube are very clear. If you follow this path, you can expect to go public. "

  Like a little girl, the foreign girl grabbed Marisa's hand and asked happily: "Really? Did Mr. Page really say that?

  Seeing Google's listing, to say something from the bottom of our hearts, we say we don’t envy it, that’s totally fake. "

  Marissa smiled and said, “Haha, I believe that Facebook’s listing is not far away.”

"Oh, right."

  Marissa said suddenly, “Page also said that I hope that everyone’s relationship will not be affected by unscrupulous media reports.

  As Darren said, Google Video and YouTube are two completely different development directions. Everyone is not an enemy, but a friend. "

  The foreign girl nodded and laughed, "Yes, we just need to develop our own businesses.

  Please also tell Mr. Page that we have no intention of being an enemy of Google.

  We will still stick to our positioning and continue to develop video social networking. "

  The foreign girl's words seemed a little timid, as if she was afraid of Google.

  Marissa is very satisfied with the foreign girl's statement.

  Larry Page saw the media report that day, and was afraid of fraud, so he sent her to explore the bottom.

  Kristina and her seem to have a good personal relationship, so they asked each other out to do Pilates together.

  After a conversation, the two left with satisfactory results.

   After getting dressed, she knocked on the door and walked into Xia Jingxing’s office after returning to the company.

"what happened?"

  Xia Jingxing raised her head and glanced at the foreign girl, and asked.

   "Marissa asked me to do Pilates, and then chatted with me about Google Video and recent media reports."

   Yang Niu organized the language, and simply repeated the process and content of her chat with Marisa to Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing's mouth curled up and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Page is also very afraid that we will make trouble."

  The foreign girl nodded, "Would you like to take this opportunity and do something?"

  "What do we do? We also purchase copyrights to scare Google?"

   After finishing speaking, Xia Jingxing quickly waved his hand, "It has no practical meaning, and it is impossible to cause any serious damage to Google Video."

  The foreign girl frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "They are too big to have any influence on them. Then we don't do anything?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “We haven’t done anything. Isn’t the tubing still developing at a normal speed?

  Now is a dangerous period, after this time, it is safe. "

   "Beep toot~"

  The phone rang, Xia Jingxing picked it up and saw that it was the old man Moritz calling.

  After answering the phone, Xia Jingxing smiled and greeted the other party: "Mr. Moritz, good afternoon!"

   "Darren, now that Google Video is also launched, the situation seems to be bad for you?"

  Moritz has been following Facebook and YouTube. After being rejected by Xia Jingxing last time, he still did not give up.

  Now that Google Video is online, he thinks it's an opportunity, so he called to explore Xia Jingxing's tone.

   "It's not very disadvantageous. They purchase copyrights and do online TV. We do video social networking. Everyone is safe and does not disturb each other."

  Moritz laughed. He didn't believe Xia Jingxing's words, how could he be well each other.

  "Online video can only have one overlord. You wouldn't be naive to think that after Google has consolidated their market, it will not turn to YouTube or even Facebook, right?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "You are right, I am a little worried, so I dare not slow down the pace of development at all."

  "Dalun, stop pursuing high valuations. Now for a round of financing, whether it is to purchase copyright or reserve funds, it is better than not having any preparations."

   Moritz persuaded with all his heart, he looked very considerate of Xia Jingxing.

  "If you don’t raise funds, it’s not a good time now. If you just raise funds, you will be beaten by Google. Isn’t it a venture capital institution that has harmed the investment?

  We are going to persevere first. If we can withstand the impact of Google, it means that our development model is sustainable and can stand the test. "

  Moritz is speechless, do you think venture capital institutions are charities? You need to worry about it.

   However, the meaning of refusal in Xia Jing's jargon is sufficiently clear, that it does not accept financing.

  He used all the methods, but the other party just didn't buy it, which made Moritz a little impetuous.

  "Really no consideration? We are going to invest you 300 million US dollars, and the post-investment valuation remains unchanged at 3 billion."

  Moritz did not take advantage of the fire and asked Xia Jingxing to lower his valuation, showing great confidence in the future development of Facebook and YouTube.

  Xia Jingxing smiled, and didn't know how to reject the old man. He was repeatedly rejected, but the other party never gave up. No wonder he became a big boss, with first-rate emotional control ability.

   "Wait, B round of financing, I will definitely invite Sequoia Capital."

  Xia Jingxing didn't say too much, and gave the other party a promise and a thought.

  Moritz still wanted to talk, but soon Xia Jingxing turned away from work and hung up the phone in a hurry.

  Because of the power amplifier on the phone, the foreign girl also heard the conversation.

  She was surprised, but she didn't expect the famous Sequoia head to speak so kindly.

  On the phone, it was Darren who was leading the direction of the conversation, and he packed the old man into a persuasive post.

   In response to the foreign girl’s surprised eyes, Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Have you seen? This old man is a smart man who can see things that most people can’t see.”

  The foreign girl nodded. The heads of Sequoia Capital all believe in oil pipes so much. As the founders, they naturally have more confidence.

  Thinking of this, she also swept away the haze caused by Google’s entry these days, and said with a smile: "Okay, then we will walk all the way to the dark and ignore the noisy sounds."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, in order to interfere with Google’s sight, they came to "show the enemy to be weak."

  But shrewd old men like Moritz are always a minority. Most people in Silicon Valley are mocking them for their short-sightedness, or thinking that they are afraid of Google’s power and do not dare to compete with them to avoid being hit by the Thunder.

  There is no need to argue about these, and it is exactly the effect they want to achieve.
