The Youngest Son of Sunyang

“What?"

“What did you just say? ”

I only smiled at two people who didn't understand exactly.

“You two are lucky. I'm really greedy this time. ”

I smiled as I hesitated to say something because I didn't know what to say.

“Now, why don't we do this? ”

The two of them sat close to me.

“I will sequentially invest up to 30 million dollars. If you ever need to invest again afterwards, it's either already a huge company, or you've forgotten all your money, or it's either one of them. ”

The latter is another word for "ruined." If Google crashes, something's wrong. It doesn't mean their algorithms are wrong.

“If it's bigger and you need more investment, a lot of investors are coming, even if it's not me. Get their funding. On good terms.”

“Wait, Howard. I have a question... Don't get me wrong, will you listen to me? ”

When I first heard the $30 million figure, the shock was gone. I have doubts I don't understand.

“Anytime. Talk to me. ”

They carefully opened their mouths as they exchanged their eyes.

“If it's so big that you need more funding, why does the company stop investing? I thought you said there was enough money? ”

“Money is taken from many places. Aren't they people who have a lot of experience in investing? Witnesses to the many successes and failures of Silicon Valley. Additional funding is when they need advice. Stay close to those nagging next to you. They're the ones who spill the beans. ”

I can't believe you didn't hear me say that. What engineers hate the most is the interference of investors.

“But don't throw away your values, either. The goal will change gradually as the company grows, but you'd better not do anything to shake the values, right? ”

“Okay, so what about the latter? Is there a condition for our return on investment when our business goes bad? ”

“At that point, I'm going to spend 100 million, 100 million dollars, if that's what it takes. Did you get the answer? ”

That's a great answer, I guess. A wave of emotion flowed through their faces.

“Howard, you truly believe that Google will succeed. ”

‘Don't say anything you don't know. Google must succeed to start the fourth industrial revolution. The word’ wandered around in my mouth, but I couldn't throw it out but nodded my head.

“I know your heart well enough. But you can't just invest with abstract belief.... Now, can you tell me the exact number? ”

The names of the two are still a little confusing. Both have dark brown hair, so I have to distinguish between them. Is the handsomer one Russian Sergei?

“All right, Sergey. As you already know, I don't intend to have voting rights. As much voting rights as I have, let the two of you work together. And I want an average stake in the next 30 million dollars. ”

The word "average" blinked at each other.

“What? Don't tell me you two want to share the same thing forever... You didn't take this oath, did you? You're not a child?”

Founders are driven out of the United States. Co-founders can also share a significant difference at any time, depending on their circumstances. Isn't this the paradise of capitalism?

Fortunately, there were no such childish vows. Instead of the average, I accepted the word "joint."

“So the start is for all three of us to share the same stake? ”

“That's right. Two people with heads, I have money. Sounds fair to me. ”

The two of them raised their hands.

“It's not fair, Howard. It's your loss. If you ask for 50% of that investment, you'll be stupid not to accept it. ”

“Yes. Even if you're willing to buy us for 30 million dollars, it's not too much to ask. ”

“Done. Then you can guarantee my stake in the future. Increased payoffs, free payoffs. Keeping the average stake in both of you at all times. ”

Sergey suddenly extends his hand.

“Let's finish the deal before we change our minds. ”

“I'll make a contract for you tomorrow, so review it. And a million dollars. ”

I laughed and held his hand.

And they drank beer listening to the internet world of their dreams. There are no innovative ideas that they can come up with, such as Google Earth, Maps, Translation, Project Gutenberg, Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Driving.

It is not because it is a product of doing it alone, but because it is a result of fusing with the services of many geniuses who will come after it.

I stood up after talking a lot until dawn.

“This is the New York office, the Korean office, and my personal phone. Call me whenever you need me. ”

The two of them took my business card and did not conceal their surprise.

“Were you Korean? ”

“Why? Did you think it was Japan? ”

“No, I thought of Hong Kong because I wrote the last name Jyn. ”

I left two people in the garage who couldn't sleep tonight and came out.

You refused to take me to a nearby motel. I wanted to walk slowly and enjoy a cool night.

You hear a shout behind your back as you move your feet.

“Hey! Are you sure you're twenty? ”

* * *

I didn't even look at the contract.

The two founders of Google began slapping each other on the cheeks, looking at their million dollar checks.

“Aren't you seeing things wrong this time? ”

Rachel flew to Silicon Valley's residential garage early in the morning with a contract and a check.

It is natural that those who look like Dum and Dummer will not be able to outrun Microsoft and become the owners of the world's best market capitals.

“Trust me. This time it's not just about making money on stocks. because it's a funny moment for the main character to open up a new world in front of us. ”

No matter how much I scream, Rachel shakes her head and sighs.

“You're the one who told me to get out of the dotcom company. Are they different?”

“Did I mention that in 2000, the dot-com line will collapse? These are the eggs in the bubbly Silicon Valley. Take a good look. From now on, these guys are real. They're good at filling in the missing spots of fraudsters. ”

She couldn't stop sighing, but yelled at the desk.

“You Guys! That check is real, so stop checking it. Better yet, check and sign the contract. I'm not free enough to watch you guys play! ”

“Oh, I'm sorry. ”

Sergey and Larry faxed a check into the drawer in a hurry.

“Hey! The terms of the contract are not to be viewed by third parties. Where are they sending him? ”

When Rachel asked, the two of them smiled.

“Don't worry. He's a lawyer at the school founder's support center. They're lawyers who check everything until we sign off on a separate law firm. These lawyers know better about confidentiality. ”

Stanford.

Supports insufficient support for student startups

Rachel grabs my hand and kicks me out of the garage.

“Howard, the Amazon dot that you mentioned at the meeting. Why don't you invest there? You said it was promising. You seemed a lot clearer. ”

“Of course, the company has tremendous potential. ”

“But?”

“I turned toward having a relationship with those geniuses rather than making money on rising stock prices. The Amazon's business structure doesn't help me much anyway. ”

“So you're giving up your return on investment now? ”

Rachel shakes her head as she bites with an anxious look.

“Is it really necessary to invest in stocks to make money? There are better places to be. ”

“What do you have? ”

“Think about where the money will go when the dotcom bubble explodes. The devil on Wall Street can't keep his money quiet. ”

“Next Goal on .com? ”

You hear Rachel calling from the garage as she tilts her head.

“I'll sign it right now. The school attorney has seen hundreds of Silicon Valley contracts, but he's never seen such a dramatic contract before. It's called an autograph. ”

“Our Howard used to be so big. You met a real angel. ”

I didn't have time to party to celebrate being Google's first investor.

“Let's go back. Your father would have finished his meeting with Dreamworks by now. I'm curious about the results, so I can't wait any longer. ”

The eyes of the two who heard Rachel's words widen.

“D, Dreamworks? ”

“Howard! You invest in Hollywood? ”

I said as much as I could toward the two of you.

“Don't forget to look for Private Ryan. It's a film I've invested 35% of. Haha.”

Rachel said one more thing.

“Rumor after receiving 30 million dollars. If Miracle invested, they'd be lining up with money. We're symbols of immortality on Wall Street. ”

When I returned to LA, my father took me to Santa Monica Beach. Rolls-Royce provided by the hotel.

“Why the beach all of a sudden? It's so hot... ”

“Let's talk quietly. I have so many questions. ”

I sat down on the sand with a bottle of cold beer.

“How did it go with Dreamworks? ”

“The atmosphere was good. You had a positive reaction. ”

Then why does he look so stiff?

“Did the Dreamworks ask you to overdo it? ”

“Herd? Well. I asked for the obvious, but it's the right thing to say to me. ”

“What…? ”

“Build an Asian distribution network outside of the Middle East. ”

“I see. That's a reasonable request. ”

Half the films are distributed. The three masters of Dreamworks are not fools enough to hand over a sloppy distribution right just to give money.

“I heard that the money that goes into the Asian distribution ticket is 500 million dollars. But if you want to build a proper distribution network and expand to the secondary platform business, it also costs astronomical money. The problem is, if you screw up, you're gonna blow that money away. ”

Perhaps the father would have started with a much lighter mind if the investor were not his son. An investor is destined to live with the risks he always loses.

However, the disgrace of a father who blew up his son's money is worse than the disgrace of a son who blew up his father's money.

This fear grips my father's ankle.

“If you're not confident in your success, you can quit. But don't think that an investor can't do it because he's a son. Money doesn't have a label. It's good to be more careful with my money. ”

“It's going to cost you a fortune. ”

“I still have a lot of money. It will continue to happen. Don't worry about the money. ”

“That money is for the greater good. No matter how much money you have to make to take over the Cruiser Group, you won't have enough! ”

Oh, it's a little hot to be so obvious. Why does the story flow in this direction?

“Some things, no matter how much money you have, can't be bought. ”

“On second thought, yes. Buying stocks off the stock market is not the kind of governance you want to take over. ”

You must take what money can't buy. Money is the minimum weapon you need to get it.
