Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

In the living room, Guan Meiren looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. This guy had been leaving early and coming home late lately, and he had no sense of romance. When he came back after dinner and missed her, he would pull her into the bedroom or find Chai Xiaofen. He was really a guy who had no sense of romance.

Today, she saw the man about to go out again, and she was a little curious as to why he had been so busy lately.

"Stephen, what are you busy with?"

"Busy with my career, going to make money." Zhang San was very Silicon Valley-esque at the time, wearing a plaid shirt and sporting a buzz cut.

Guan Meiren said, "You're very rich now, why do you still work so hard?"

"I always feel like someone is chasing me from behind, which makes me unable to relax."

After saying that, he smiled and glanced at Guan Meiren before getting into the convoy outside; they were now at a villa in San Jose, a place with many internet companies and universities.

This was to make his work easier, from home to his workplace.

Except for YN, all the other startups were housed in Zhang Sanquan's garage; however, the computers and servers they used were all top-of-the-line.

The people Zhang San approached, who were also the co-founders, asked him, "Hey boss, the money you've invested could easily get us working in a better place. Why are we working in a garage?"

Zhang San didn't blame them for their hedonistic mood. Instead, he smiled and said, "Although I borrowed this money to start a business, I don't care about that. Starting a business is my ideal."

He paused for a moment. This was the first time he had told his employees about borrowing money to start the business. Looking at the employees he had recruited to join him, and seeing their serious expressions, he said, "Don't you think it'll be awesome when, after you succeed, the first thing you say when the media interviews you is, 'We started our business in a garage'? When you're old and writing your memoirs, the first sentence will be, 'That year, under our boss's leadership, we started our business in a garage…'"

"Wow, that's so cool, I love it."

Cheers erupted in the garage, and as Zhang San clapped along with them, a female employee kissed him.

"The boss is the coolest."

Zhang San had been going back and forth between different garages lately, trying to prevent his seeds from growing normally and going astray.

He knew that some things were unavoidable in North America, namely accepting investment from Wall Street. Compared to venture capital firms, what was needed now was Wall Street capital. Wall Street capital was more cost-effective than capital that could not help businesses.

Of course, it's not that venture capitalists lack resources, but rather that their resources are limited. Unlike ten or twenty years later, when these venture capitalists knew when to quit while they were ahead and accumulated enormous wealth, they now have more say in the business.

Amidst his busy schedule, LN Company became the first company to express interest in investing in him, which was exactly what Zhang San expected.

After all, LN's Nets Navigator was already profitable, and very profitable. Although most of the profits were swallowed up by YAHO, it didn't matter. YAHO was developing rapidly. According to the backend query, at least 20 million users were using it. Anyone who bought the Nets Navigator browser was using YAHO, this portal navigation website.

Under such circumstances, it's hard not to be noticed.

"Hello, this is Vincent from G Sheng." A middle-aged man introduced himself to Paul, the CEO of LN Company.

Paul smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Paul, the CEO of LN Company."

Vincent said, "It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to cooperate with LN Company. We are very interested in your business and development prospects, and hope to invest in your projects."

Paul was thinking, "Do you even need to tell me? Do you know how many investment calls we get every day?" However, he still replied, somewhat awkwardly but politely, "Thank you for G Sheng's interest. We also very much look forward to cooperating with you. However, before we proceed with specific negotiations, I would like to understand your company's investment plan and expected returns."

Vincent immediately replied, "Our investment plan is based on a comprehensive assessment of your company. We believe LN has great potential, and we plan to invest a certain amount, expecting a reasonable return in the future. Of course, you should go public as soon as possible."

That's like saying nothing at all; he's a seasoned veteran.

Paul knew the other party was talking nonsense, but he still said, "I understand. We also have clear plans and goals for our own development. We hope that investors can grow with us and achieve a win-win situation in long-term cooperation. What specific thoughts do you have regarding the investment amount and equity structure?"

Vincent: "We are open to considering various approaches to determine the investment amount and equity structure, which can be negotiated based on the needs and objectives of both parties. Our primary focus is on establishing a long-term and stable partnership with LN Company."

Paul: "That's right, long-term cooperation is our shared goal. Besides financial support, what other resources and support can G Sheng provide us in terms of business development and market expansion?"

Vincent: "We have extensive resources and experience across various industries, and can provide LN Company with support in many aspects, including strategic guidance, market channel expansion, and technological cooperation, to help your company achieve faster growth. For example, we can help you go public faster."

People at G-Sheng talk about going public all the time, which shows how obsessed they are with it. It's no wonder, since how can they make money if they don't go public?

They can invest in these startups, nurture them, and once they've been nurtured and fattened up, they can go public.

There are many benefits to going public. G-Sheng underwrites shares and collects various listing-related fees, which can be said to be a sure-fire way to make money, just like Hollywood distribution companies. They have little risk; they just need to issue shares and they can still have a stable income.

Zhang San was aware of these things, but relying on his first-mover advantage, he began to suppress other similar companies, not for any other reason than to let them know that he still had manpower to help him.

"Vincent, we can only offer 10% of our shares for financing this time."

Vincent didn't know what that 10% meant at the moment; he would find out how much G Sheng would earn in a few years. But LN's current strength was much greater than they had expected.

As for those 10% of the shares, they are naturally determined to get them.
