My Age of Investment

  Chapter 51 Only Routines Win People's Hearts

   "Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot!"

   Andrew evaluated his own assets and the investment risks of Facebook’s projects, and indeed he can only spend so much money.

If there are more   , it will hurt your muscles and bones if you lose money.

  He doesn’t know what Xia Jingxing wants to do. Two hundred thousand dollars is still too small, so it’s hard to get things done?

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "I designed two new functions, which require a lot of manpower and servers.

  If it is only 200,000 US dollars, it may not last long. "

   "After the 200,000 US dollars are used up, I can refinance. I can also invest a further amount depending on the development."

  Andrew looked at Xia Jingxing, and said solemnly: "Dalun, you have to know that two hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount of money.

  This is already the annual salary of the average person. You can save a little bit, and you can definitely support Facebook to occupy most colleges and universities in the United States. "

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "This little money, once the company is established, and a few more employees are recruited, it can be spent in three to five months.

  And I need to finance the company's development for at least one year. "

  "Recruiting employees? Full-time?" Andrew asked.

   "Otherwise?"

  Xia Jingxing shrugged, “I can’t recruit part-time students. Staff stability is a major reason.

   Another big reason is that Facebook will have more and more functions, and the technology will become more advanced when it comes to technology. Ordinary students are simply not qualified for this job.

  What I need is a master with technical experience, not a rookie intern. "

  Andrew was speechless, and thought for a while, in this case, the money he invested is really not enough.

   "Why don't you slow down? Wait for Facebook to reach a new level, and then start the recruitment of full-time employees. At present, first part-time students will stand up?" Andrew persuaded.

   "No, we can't slow down our pace of expansion."

  Xia Jingxing said with a serious face, “In the world of the Internet, “slowness” means suicide.

  My rule is to do what I think of, rather than thinking about this and that there.

  Your opponent will not slow down their pace just because you want to stop and rest. "

   "But there is no rival yet? Facebook is the leading social networking site?"

  Andrew is both gratified and amused at Xia Jingxing’s “sense of crisis”.

  He said in a slightly ridiculous tone: "Are you afraid of another "ThisFacebook"?

  Don’t be afraid, even if these websites are born again, they are already slow for a few shots.

  What's more, you also got angel investment, but they didn't. Maybe two or three students were there to tinker.

  I don’t know what Darren are you worried about?

  Man, you are only eighteen years old, don’t look forward and backward like an old man.

  Young people should have the vitality of young people, don’t be afraid of competition.

  Also, you have developed fast enough, it's time to stop and take a break. At the same time, it is also preparing for the next step of development. "

  Xia Jingxing felt that this fat man really deserved to be a lawyer, and had a set of words.

  Don’t you just want to lower the valuation? As for pulling so much?

  There are real competitors in the future, and they are not one or two, and each one is strong.

  But these are not suitable for telling Andrew that keeping one's own secret is one aspect, and also afraid of advocating the opponent too strong, which really scared Andrew away.

   "Besides you, John Hennessy also wants to invest in us."

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing couldn’t help expressing a trace of pride: “Mr. Hennessy is more bold and willing to invest US$500,000 with a post-investment valuation of US$5 million.

  I want to make an appointment with you first and give priority to accepting your investment, so I will come to you first today. "

   "John Hennessy? Stanford's principal?" Andrew asked uncertainly.

  Xia Jingxing nodded.

   "He really agrees with the valuation of five million dollars?"

  Andrew stared into Xia Jingxing’s eyes and said very seriously, “Don’t deceive me!

  I will definitely ask a friend to contact Mr. Hennessy, and I will know the truth after asking.

  If you find that you lie to me, there is a problem with your integrity.

  I will not invest in a dishonest person. "

  The foreign girl and the little dog looked at each other, they didn't know that there was such a thing. At this time, my heart is a little guilty, don't play with fire!

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "No need to trust someone, I have Mr. Hennessy's call."

  After speaking, Xia Jingxing took out the phone and prepared to make a call.

  The little dog and the foreign girl stopped their movements and stared at Xia Jingxing blankly. What is the trouble?

   "I really did."

   Putting his hand on the phone button, Xia Jingxing reminded Andrew again.

  A smile appeared on Andrew’s chubby face. He was a young man, and he didn’t look at which bowl of rice I had eaten.

   "Hit it! If it is convenient, I would also like to have a few words with Mr. Hennessy."

  Xia Jingxing kept rubbing her fingers on the keyboard, and did not press the number for a long time.

  "Mr. Andrew, are you not afraid of Mr. Hennessy bidding with you later?"

  Andrew seemed to be sure that Xia Jingxing was bluffing himself, waved his hand, "You can just hit it, even if you bid, I will accept it."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, took a deep breath, and dialed the principal's phone.

  "Mr. Hennessy, this is Darren. Today I went to meet with Mr. Andrew, the angel investor who intends to invest in our Facebook."

   "Yes, Mr. Andrew is a partner in a law firm."

   "Well, he intends to invest us two hundred thousand dollars."

   "I told you before, under the same conditions, we give priority to Mr. Andrew."

  ...

  Xia Jingxing chatted with Principal John while talking and laughing on the phone, and the other three people present looked at him curiously.

  Andrew was the most surprised.

  He frowned, because he didn't turn on the PA, he couldn't hear the content on the other side of the phone.

  But based on what Darren said, he analyzed that this Chinese kid might really hook up with the principal of Stanford.

  This is not good news.

  If he bids, he will definitely not be able to compete with that rich old man.

   "I still said that, it is impossible to accept investment from you alone.

  Mr. Andrew has helped us a lot, and I always remember his kindness. "

  Xia Jingxing's voice was very loud, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

  Andrew was a little touched, this little Chinese guy still has a conscience, and he didn't have to help him so much by himself.

   "Okay, then you and Mr. Andrew will invest together, and the investment share is one and half.

  The post-investment valuation is 5 million! "

  On the other end of the phone, Old Man John frowned, "Didn’t it say three million?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "This price is not consistent with Mr. Andrew's asking price!"

  He was right. Andrew offered two million and Old John offered three million, which is inconsistent.

  Old man John is rich, and his two million valuation reflects his investment, which is only two hundred thousand.

  And he and Andrew share the investment share, which is only one hundred thousand yuan.

  For a billionaire, can this be a problem?

  Principal John thought it was Andrew who offered five million, and he secretly scolded the lawyer for being troublesome.

  I didn’t think about it for too long, but Old Man John directly agreed, “That’s it, it’s worth five million.”

  Xia Jingxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the routine was successful.

  "Would you like to talk to lawyer Andrew, let's make an appointment to sign the contract."

After getting a positive answer on the phone, Xia Jingxing handed the phone to Andrew: "Mr. Hennessy wants to talk to you."

  Andrew answered the phone and chatted with Principal John with a smile.

  The two are very tacit, and did not accuse the other party of raising the offer to 5 million on the phone.

   After all, this kind of accusation is very funny, and the strength is not good. Is it not allowed to increase the price?

  Anyway, the valuation of 5 million is not very outrageous. It is barely within the psychological tolerance of both parties, so there is no need to entangle it.

  After finishing the conversation, Andrew handed the phone to Xia Jingxing and said with a smile, "Okay, President John and I voted for two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars, and the valuation is based on the post-investment valuation of five million."

  The little dog and the foreign girl are dumbfounded, this is it? What advanced operation?

  Xia Jingxing smiled faintly, hiding his merit and fame deeply.
