"Dila."
"Who?"
"President of A+ Audio, you must have seen it, it's the white Rapper who sang The with me."
"Haha..." Mark Anderson shook his head and laughed. "He is not a professional."
"He also participated in the venture capital investment in DTS. Now that company is valued at tens of millions." Song Ya said, "If you think he is unprofessional, I can ask Dile to find a headhunting company to hire a professional manager. ..."
"Why?" Mark Anderson asked in surprise.
"what why?"
"Why are you so optimistic about the web browser project? You know, I haven't figured out any good profit model myself..." Mark Anderson said.
"I have nothing to look down on, I think the Mosaic you participated in writing is very easy to use, you know I am rich." Song Ya replied. Can't you say the inexplicable familiarity when he uses it?
"Yes, very beautiful private jet."
Mark Anderson smiled, "Your investment in Barn Company is very successful. I also went to nightclubs to play Fluorescent Nights in school. You took advantage of the celebrities' advantages in carrying goods. This really impresses me, and combined with yours Age, wow..."
Then he changed the conversation, "But the technology industry has a different gameplay, and Jim Clark is the best..."
The two chatted for more than an hour. Song Ya was always unsuccessful in provoking, so she had to take a step back, "I don't reject that Mr. Clark, or you can take me one, you always need investors to share the risk, right? Since you I said that I still can't find a good profit model, so I can get more venture capital to renovate the office."
"Well, I'll go back and discuss it with Jim."
This time Mark Anderson nodded and agreed, "Don't let Jimmy bother me." Before leaving, he dropped a serious sentence.
"I'm waiting for your news." Song Ya did not answer directly.
Mark Anderson has left, and Marvota will take him to the airport, still taking the plane back.
"Jimmy, good job."
Song Ya went to the swimming pool and saw Jimmy's flamboyant floral shirt and white suit at a glance, which resembled the style of the rogue lawyer who represented gang members.
"Ok……"
Jimmy put down the cocktail glass in his hand and hurriedly swallowed the wine in his mouth, "Thank you, Mr. APLUS, guess how I bother him?" He was quite contented.
"I don't want to know."
Song Ya interrupted by pointing at him, "I only want the result, not the process."
"Okay, OK, let's not talk about it, I won't talk about the process." He raised his hands and smiled awkwardly.
"You still have to go to Silicon Valley." Song Ya said.
"Continue with the old method?" Jimmy asked.
"I don't care, as long as it works, after all, I haven't got the result I want." Song Ya replied.
"OK." Jimmy drank the cocktail on the table and left in a hurry.
That night, Mark Anderson asked Jim Clark to reply. The Silicon Valley bull was not very polite, "APLUS, is that what others call you?"
"Everyone calls me that." Song Ya smelled gunpowder.
"We don’t need a singer’s venture capital. I heard about DTS. You and a group of Hollywood people turned that company into a arena for gangsters, didn’t you? The listing is far away, and shareholders have their own minds. I think my company doesn't need this kind of'experience'." He said.
"The arena of gangsters? How do you see DTS?"
It was the first time Song Ya heard this kind of evaluation from another big cow. He has always been quite content with his lucrative investment...
"Isn't it? You are as slow as a snail..." Jim Clark complained.
"Uh, can you elaborate on it?" Song Ya asked humbly.
"I have no obligation to teach children." Jim Clark was impatient.
"Well, what do you say about the project with Mark? He told me my investment intention, right?" Song Ya has always been as thick as a wall in business matters.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, "Two million, giving you five percent of the shares without voting rights."
"A web startup that hasn't opened and found a profit model is valued at 40 million yuan? And I don't even have the right to vote?" Song Ya is not happy~www.mtlnovel.com~ The company currently has only one venture capitalist, KPCB , They are not as optimistic about us than you, but they can help with the listing, so they spend 4 million to get 20%. And you, please pardon me, you can’t help much except money, even if you spend two million, we can only give you 5 percent. Mark is very impressed with you. I don't want to discourage his enthusiasm, but I definitely don't want to hear pointers from outsiders in the entertainment circle in the company..." Jim Clark said.
"KPCB is it?"
Song Ya knows that it is a well-known venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. The 20% value of 4 million means that they value the new company of Jim Clark and Mark Anderson at 20 million. This price also shows that they are very optimistic. , Then it's not impossible to get one million more into the game...
Just five percent is a bit less...
"I can help, and I can give you... our new browser products do something soft and wide." Song Ya still wants to fight again.
"On this offer, accept it or not." Jim Clark said, "Our negotiation with KPCB is 5% worse. You may not even have a chance at a later date."
"I have other opportunities. Now there are many Mosaic imitators on the World Wide Web." Song Ya decided to threaten a little, "Their things are very rough, but I believe my money can change a lot of things."
"Unfortunately, only Mark has the royal blood of Mosaic." Jim Clark used a metaphor.
"..."
"Before get off work tomorrow, KPCB may change its mind at any time, so hurry up and think about it."
Jim Clark was about to hang up, "Wait!" Song Ya stopped him, "Don't think about it, my lawyer will be there tomorrow. His name is Jimmy Goodman."
Chicago 1990 Chapter 521: Arena
Let Linda rush to Silicon Valley with the authorization documents, and let Goodman go from Chicago to help her younger brother review the contract. It is almost March. This is Song Ya's first venture investment in 1994, and she patronizes consumption.
Although a little bit low-pitched in the process, Song Ya still likes Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, the founder of the company who masters technology, Mark Anderson is much smarter than DTS’s Terry Beard and Palm’s Jeffrey Hawkins, and also I know what I want. Not to mention Jim Clark. His judgment on the status quo of DTS, the ‘Golden Rogue’ arena, and the claim that Mark has the royal blood of Mosaic poke his heart, the founder of SGI really did not give it for nothing.
Cooperating and playing games with smart people may not be too pleasant, but it should be closer to success.
Jim Clark has learned a lot of experience and lessons from the struggle of SGI from founding to listing and capital, so this new company named after the Mosaic communications company, clarified the inheritance relationship with the Mosaic browser, the equity in the new company is particularly simple and clear, he has the majority, Mark Anderson took a small share of technology shares, 20% of it was given to the well-known venture capital KPCB, and the remaining 5% was given to himself willing to pay the highest premium.
Only these four parties participate, and only oneself has no voting rights.
"OK, Jimmy, next you travel to China to find out how the three million dollars I spent in Wanyan was spent, and what is the status of the specific operations there."
Jimmy's mission was done well, but right now there is no one who can be trusted and available. "Song Asheng is over there, you go find him and lead the way."
Song Ya is going to increase the difficulty level of work to Jimmy. If Wan Yan's performance is still generally satisfactory to him, let him stare at Mosaic Communications, Wan Yan and Palm. VC booth.
Next he has to deal with the issue of the ‘Golden Rogue Arena’.
While still a little free, he went to David Geffen's home in Beverly Hills.
"Bot?"
