China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 237 235. E3 and Chinese Enterprises?

Although Cao Yu scolded this cunning hooked nose in his heart, he still decided to tease this guy.

Looking at Zuckerberg's cute-looking face, he pretended to be very interested and asked: "How much do you plan to pay to buy it back?"

Zuckerberg hesitated "with difficulty" for a long time, then "gnashed his teeth" and said a string of numbers: "Thirty-three million!"

The first angel investment Facebook received was US$100 million from Cao Yu. Zuckerberg gave him 20% of the shares, which was also the company's start-up capital.

In the real first financing, it was also 20% of the shares, but it got 500 million. Last year, as the company's influence expanded, the value of 20% of the shares had risen to 5000 million. Growth The speed is not unpleasant.

Now that Cao Yu's shares have been diluted to 12.8%, Zuckerberg feels that if he offers 300 million, the other party will definitely be tempted.

Cao Yu almost laughed out of anger, and said deliberately: "It's really a lot. I only invested 100 million at the beginning, and the income was more than 30 times, which is quite a lot."

"Of course, you are my friend, and I can't let you suffer."

Zuckerberg is still pretending to be close.

In fact, I have already planned it in my heart. After repurchasing Cao Yu's shares, I will directly take out 10%. This year, I will definitely be able to raise more than 5000 million yuan. After all, the number of Facebook users has been increasing. In the first half of the year, there were many limelight contacts. .

"Shit! This kid is so bad!"

Cao Yu cursed in his heart, and then said: "Forget it, the company has not made a profit yet, 3000 million is too much, I won't sell my shares yet, I can't affect the development of the company."

"what?"

Zuckerberg was a little confused, but seeing how sincere Cao Yu was, he thought he was really thinking about the company's development, and said: "Cao, the company's development will not be affected. I really think about you. If you If you think it’s not enough, how about I add another 100 million?”

Zuckerberg thought that Cao Yu thought he was paying too little and continued to increase money. He felt that the Chinese people would definitely agree this time.

"I'm not a money-gaining brother."

However, Cao Yu kept shaking his head: "NO, NO, NO, wouldn't that make the company worse? Otherwise, we can wait until it goes public."

"Going public? I don't know how long it will take for the company to go public. Cao, if you keep waiting like this, based on the company's current development, you might lose even a penny by then."

Zuckerberg still looked kind-hearted and wanted to fool this Chinese person.

"Haha, are those who financed you all fools? Or am I a fool?"

Cao Yu said something in his heart, and then said: "I believe that when Facebook is connected to our video website, maybe you can compete with Youtube, and you will be able to make a profit soon."

Zuckerberg looked distressed: "Cao, then I can only thank you for your trust."

It seemed that he was moved by Cao Yu's trust, but actually he was disappointed.

However, he didn't dare to add more money or say too much, otherwise he would make the other party doubt his motives.

But what he didn't expect was that Cao Yu suddenly said: "If I invest another 1000 million US dollars, how many shares can I get?"

"What? Cao, are you kidding?"

Cao Yu originally did not plan to invest more in Facebook, but he did not expect that if the other party wanted to acquire his shares, Facebook would develop faster than he imagined.

If 1000 million can get more shares, it will be geometrically doubled by then.

Anyway, money in the bank is dead now, investment is alive, and more importantly, Facebook’s future is very strong.

"How could I be joking? You want to buy back 300% of my shares for 12.8 million, so how much can I buy for 1000 million?"

"I…"

Zuckerberg regretted a little at this time. Why did he mention the repurchase of shares? Now, let's not give it. The company is losing money, and people are kind enough to give money.

Give it, I am at a loss again.

Moreover, one's own shares cannot be given away.

His mind was running rapidly for a while, and he finally came up with an idea: "How about we see if we can buy some shares from Eduardo, he is short of money now."

This cunning Jew directly betrayed his teammates.

After thinking about it in his mind, he finally said: "Cao, you are really my friend. If the company is like this, you are willing to increase investment."

"Is it fake or not?"

Cao Yu looked at each other, smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "We are friends."

During this meeting, Cao Yu used 1000 million US dollars to get another 4% of the shares, accounting for 16.8% of Facebook's total shares.

This ratio is already very large, second only to Zuckerberg, but their poor roommate has dropped to less than 10%.

Later, his roommate Eduardo realized what he was doing and took Zuckerberg to court. He settled out of court and received a compensation.

However, that’s just something to talk about later.

Cao Yu also didn't expect that this trip to Facebook would bring unexpected gains. When he was happy, he would either be wandering around the streets of the United States with Liu Yifei after filming, or looking at houses everywhere.He knows very well that even if Facebook goes public and his net worth exceeds tens of billions of dollars, it will be difficult to get all the money back.

At that time, he could spend as much as he wanted here. He bought everything he could buy, including airplanes, yachts, and small estates.

As for the song "Victory", it was mainly just a show. If it were released too early, it would look too fake.

On June 3th, Cao Yu, who had finished his work ahead of schedule, came to the E[-] exhibition hall of the Los Angeles Exhibition Center.

The annual feast of the global electronic entertainment industry is unprecedentedly grand. During these three days, game manufacturers, distributors, players, comment media, etc., gathered tens of thousands of people, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

Cao Yu walked through the crowd and looked at the many game companies from the United States, Han Bang, Japan, etc., and felt a little emotional.

In this exhibition, only the Penguin family participated in the exhibition. Although the location was good, it still looked a bit pitiful.

"Mr. Cao, you don't have to be like this. In previous exhibitions like this, when Chinese people came, they could only talk about agents. Now Penguin has a fast position here, which is already progress."

Secretary Xiao Wu saw the boss shaking his head, guessed what the boss was thinking, and comforted him.

"Xiao Wu, after working as a secretary for a long time, you can guess the boss's thoughts. Not bad." Cao Yu turned around and smiled.

"Mr. Cao, I..." Xiao Wu's expression changed and he was busy trying to explain.

"Haha, don't get me wrong, I just feel that if I change my secretary in the future, I might not be as comfortable as you."

"The boss wants to fire me? I didn't do anything?"

Xiao Wu was frightened and worked as a secretary for Cao Yu. Not to mention the worry, the salary was very high.

Cao Yu glanced at Pang Yuan, who was following not far behind, and whispered: "You have been a secretary for almost two years. I plan to let you do management."

"manage?"

"Yes, the secretary next to me is in love with a bodyguard. He can't change positions, he can only promote you."

"Boss, I"

Compared with the secretary, the management has gains and losses, Xiao Wu struggled for a while, and said: "That's fine."

Cao Yu nodded, but he was thinking in his mind: "Who should I ask to be the secretary? It's a new hire, so it's unreliable, and the company's artists don't seem to be willing to be secretaries. It's quite a headache."

However, there is no rush in this matter, after all, Xiao Wu and the others have not decided yet.

……

Cao Yu was still wandering around, and a group of people happened to walk into the exhibition hall at this time.

These people were all wearing the same clothes, speaking Korean, and each had three letters embroidered on the front of their clothes: SSG.

As soon as they entered, these people saw a very eye-catching penguin logo, and underneath the logo were all Chinese people.

Penguin is now well-known, and these people naturally know what kind of company it is. One of them said with a smile: "I didn't expect there to be a Huaxia company in E3, and I'm a little surprised."

"The only game company that China can take advantage of is Penguin, which poses no threat to our game industry at all."

A person next to him looked at the luxuriously decorated booth and said with disdain.

"That's right. How many years has our game been developed? Even if we give China another ten years, they won't be able to catch up."

"However, there are quite a few people here. I don't know what game Penguin launched this year."

Although a few people said so, they still came to Penguin's booth curiously, and then looked at the big screen where the game promotional video was playing.

"Hey, it's also a competitive game."

These people are all members of an e-sports club. They currently mainly play WAR3 and "StarCraft", and are naturally very interested in competitive games.

"The promotional video looks pretty good. Why don't you go in and try it out to see what bad games the Chinese can make."

Several people immediately walked in with a smile on their face, with the mentality of causing trouble.

Seeing someone coming in, the two beautiful young ladies immediately offered a few glasses of juice.

These people didn't even say a word of thanks, they picked it up and walked directly to the trial computer.

"What quality?"

The young lady at the reception suddenly felt unhappy.

"Haha, Han Bang is like this, arrogant and arrogant, thinking that the entire universe belongs to him."

A companion smiled and comforted him.
