My Age of Investment

"Daren, I suggest you think about it carefully and answer me right away."

"I know that any entrepreneur has an affection for his website, just like a child raised by himself," Zeffner said with a smile.

I understand your sentiments, but suggest that you view all of this in a more rational way. "

Xia Jing let out a long sigh, "I am very grateful to Mr. Zeffner and Google for their attention to us.

Unfortunately, I still prefer to let Facebook operate independently.

If Google is willing to invest in us instead of mergers and acquisitions, we can consider it. "

Zeffner smiled and shook his head, "No, no, we don't consider investing. This is a big deviation from our strategic plan."

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Then there is nothing to talk about."

Zeffner thought for a while and asked, "If the information is correct, Daeron, you should still be a Chinese national now, right?"

Xia Jingxing was a little wary, especially if the acquisition could not be completed, was he going to make a fuss about the identity of Lao Tzu?

Zeffner waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else.

You are an international student, and you have only been in the United States for less than a year. You may not have a thorough understanding of American society and politics.

This land has never had a precedent for a foreigner to start a successful business!

Opening a small Chinese restaurant or laundromat is nothing. Several successful entrepreneurs in the high-tech field, Wang An, Huang Renxun, Wang Jialian, and Yang Jieyuan, are all American nationals. "

Xia Jingxing said lightly, "Thank you for reminding me, I'm already preparing for investment immigration.

Also, NetScreen Technologies was founded by Chinese and listed on NASDAQ! "

Zeffona was speechless, and it seemed that there were indeed one or two cases, but it didn't explain anything.

He nodded, "Okay, good luck!"

"Daren, Facebook is a joint-stock company, right? I suggest you discuss it with other founders, directors, and shareholders. You can give me a final answer in a week."

Seeing that Xia Jingxing was still unmoved, Zhefuna said a few more words before leaving.

Seeing Zeffner's back disappear, Xia Jingxing turned around and found that the dog and the foreign girl had appeared behind him without knowing it, and he was almost startled.

"Why?"

The little dog smiled and pointed to the door, "Who was that person just now?"

"Google's head of corporate development is actually the head of investment and mergers and acquisitions."

Xia Jingxing thought about what Zeffner had said to him before he left, so he relayed to the two about Google's door-to-door talk about the acquisition, and asked them for their opinions.

"It's only 30 million? Who gave him confidence? Boss, you simply refused. Don't ask me, your opinion is mine."

The puppy began to turn into a flatterer again, which made Xia Jingxing feel much better.

Just now, Zeffner reminded him that with the growing popularity of Facebook, his identity as a Chinese founder is indeed a bit dazzling.

It is estimated that competitors will seize this point to smear and attack him and Facebook.

This is the reality in the shopping mall. For the sake of profit, any indiscriminate means will be used.

But he doesn't want to change his nationality. At most, he can get a green card and become a permanent resident without naturalization of the United States.

Even if he is naturalized in the United States, because he is not born in the United States, he may be attacked by competitors, and it is possible to be charged with espionage.

Therefore, a shadow is cast in his heart now, and the situation he may face in the future is very complicated and even dangerous.

Every man is innocent, but he is guilty!

"$30 million is too little, our current market value is at least 100 million! This valuation is also recognized by many venture capital institutions.

"

Yang Niu shook her head, "And this company is built by all of us little by little, and I don't want to sell it."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "As long as we all work together, I believe that Facebook, which operates independently, will definitely have a brighter future."

"Yes, the boss is right! I'm still waiting for the listing to ring the bell! When the time comes, I'll press the bell button, and everyone is not allowed to rob me."

The puppy didn't really want to grab the chance to ring the bell, just gags to liven up the atmosphere.

"Okay, little dog, I've gained a lot of knowledge recently, and I still know how to ring the bell."

Christina joked.

The three were laughing and laughing in a group, and the employees not far from the side also gathered their heads to peek.

"Okay, don't look at it, we just rejected Google's $30 million offer!"

Xia Jingxing directly disclosed the news, and at the same time cheered the staff!

"$30 million? Rejected?"

Gao Lili murmured, she was a little dizzy and didn't know how to evaluate it.

"In addition, we also rejected Mr. Reid Hoffman's Series A investment, and he intends to value us at $100 million."

As soon as Xia Jingxing finished speaking, the staff exclaimed again.

Xia Jingxing simply asked the staff to move the stools over and held a small meeting together.

"Do you know why I rejected them?"

More than a dozen employees shook their heads.

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "It's very simple, it doesn't reflect the true value of our company."

Gao Lili got close to Shen Xinyi and Shen Si and asked, "What do you think the company should be worth now?"

"At least $110 million!"

Shen Xinyi felt that Xia Jingxing said that, it must be more than 100 million US dollars.

"I can't stop watching, at least 200 million!"

Shen Si looked happy. She had already decided that she would join Facebook after graduating from business school. At that time, she would also have options. The higher the company's valuation, the greater the value of the options she was about to get.

"Lilith, what did you guys say?"

Xia Jingxing noticed that the three of them were muttering in a low voice, and directly ordered the English name of Gao Lili.

"I...we're discussing the valuation of the company!"

Gao Lili looked like she was going to give up, and then she closed her eyes and waited to die... Oh, no, she was waiting for the boss's stormy criticism.

Xia Jingxing didn't have time to criticize her, so he asked himself and answered, "That's a good question, what should the valuation of our company be?

The cooperation between Amazon and us, I can tell you with certainty, is expected to bring Facebook no less than 30 million US dollars in revenue in the next year.

So we are not short of money, there is no need to rush to raise funds now.

I hope that when we completely take over the American university market and target international markets such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Open a new round of financing, with a valuation of $500 million!

At that time, each of you will be granted option incentives.

When Facebook actually goes public, I'm going to make each of you millionaires, multi-millionaires, even billionaires..."

The sitting employees, whether they were regular workers or interns, were completely aroused by Xia Jingxing.

Everyone has heard the story of Silicon Valley making wealth.

But this time, it seemed that the goddess of luck came to her side.

Whether Xia Jingxing exaggerated, they were not sure.

But Facebook's 3 million users, the skyrocketing sales of Amazon's stores, the cooperation with Amazon, investors and reporters who come to visit in an endless stream...

These are what they see.

Everything shows that the company is developing in a better and better direction!

Xia Jingxing looked at the desire for wealth in the eyes of the employees, and sighed, the military heart was available.

Facebook does not accept mergers and acquisitions and financing, and it does not mean that competitors will do the same.

As competitors continue to announce financing and even mergers and acquisitions, there are bound to be some negative implications for Facebook and the employees below.

He had to vaccinate his employees in advance.

It's not that Facebook can't raise money, it's not bad money!

Only by calming the inside can we go outside.
