Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 41 Phoenix and Hanhua

…

"How is this place? Is it enough for your office?"

Michael Moretz looked at the spacious and bright office area, as well as the neatly arranged desks and office equipment, and nodded with a smile. I am very satisfied with the attentiveness and thoroughness of the new boss. This feeling of being valued is very good.

"According to the information I got, Google's 10% stake has been acquired by Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd. for $25 million. Then can I and my team change jobs?"

For the past week, in order not to affect Guo Shouyun's acquisition of Google's equity, Michael Moritz has been holding back. Now he can't wait any longer!

"Of course. I can't wait to recruit you as a genius in the venture capital industry!" Guo Shouyun smiled, "Tell me, what are you going to do after you change jobs?"

"I plan to divide the $30 million invested by Boss into two parts and set up two private equity funds, one is mainly invested in the Internet sector, and the other is mainly invested in the high-tech sector. These two areas I am most familiar with, and I am also optimistic about these two funds. The development of this field in the future!”

Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement.

"But in this case, isn't the power scattered?"

"Boss, I have been in the venture capital industry for so many years, and I have met many rich people. I believe many of them are still willing to hand over their funds to me for operation!"

"You just need to be confident. Anyway, I have already said that unless the loss exceeds 20%, I will not interfere with the company's operations! However, if I were you, I would set up another private equity fund to invest in the biopharmaceutical field. !" After patting Moritz's left arm with a smile, Guo Shouyun turned around and walked outside.

"I'll go first, remember to call me if you have anything. Oh, by the way, don't tell the third party about our relationship for now. I don't want too many people to know that 'Phoenix Capital' and 'Phoenix Investment Management' are affiliated in the same company."

"Can I know why?"

"You will know later, but not now!" Guo Shouyun glanced at him one last time, raised his right hand and waved it casually, turned and left.

Looking at his back, as well as the final suggestion and unique request, a thoughtful look appeared on Michael Moretz's face!

Two days later, Michael Moritz, the head of Sequoia Capital's No. 3 Fund, took him and his team to a total of 23 people to join a new venture capital firm 'Phoenix' with a registered capital of $30 million. capital'!

Phoenix Capital is a subsidiary of a holding company 'Phoenix Holdings' registered in the Cayman Islands. Under its command, there is another "Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd.". In Guo Shouyun's plan, Phoenix Capital belongs to VC, and Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd. belongs to PE. Both focus on the US and European markets.

At present, Phoenix Capital has no projects in its hands. Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd. already owns 59.95% of Google’s equity; after investing $20 million, it got 60% of Guo’s business group; after investing 15 million, it got 30% of LinkedIn equity.

After deducting these investments, Guo Shouyun's gambling and loan money left 135 million US dollars. He used the money to set up three other companies in Hong Kong. They are Hanhua Holdings, and Hanhua Capital and Hanhua Investment Management Co., Ltd. under Hanhua!

Like Phoenix Capital and Phoenix Investment Management Co., Ltd. under Phoenix Holdings, Hanhua Capital belongs to VC, and Hanhua Investment Management Co., Ltd. belongs to PE. The investment direction of Hanhua is naturally China and the future Asian market.

The reason for this division is also to avoid political risks to the greatest extent. In the future, Guo Shouyun knows how Uncle Sam and Huaxia compete in politics, economy, military, culture and other fields.

In addition, Hanhua and Phoenix, both of which are short of an angel investment, plus a brokerage, can cover the entire process of any company's IPO! Maximize the benefits of the information you know in your previous life.

However, at present, apart from Phoenix Capital, he has not found a suitable manager for the time being, whether it is Phoenix Investment Management or Hanhua. Angel investors and brokerages are even more clueless. Especially for brokerages with wider needs for capital and contacts, I am afraid that there is no way to make up for it in a short time, and the closed loop of capital is completely completed!

…

"Boss, I've thought about it! I want to be the leader of the secretary team!"

Looking at Wendy Solo with a serious look, Guo Shouyun nodded. He took out the three-point document from the drawer and handed it over.

"Everyone who joins the secretarial team in the future will have to sign a lifetime nondisclosure agreement. They cannot disclose any information about my personal and company that they come into contact with at work."

In the future, the secretarial team will connect him with the various companies under it, and access his most confidential information. It is not an exaggeration to use the strictest means of secrecy, which is the usual practice of large groups.

"clear!"

"You go down first, and by the way, let George know that I want to see him!"

Wendy Solo nodded, but when she was about to turn around and leave, Guo Shouyun stopped her again.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you. Is there any news from Korn Ferry?"

"not yet!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. Unfortunately, it is also a headhunter. LinkedIn’s influence is still limited to the middle and low levels, and it is still far from top headhunting companies such as Korn Ferry and Heidrick & Struggles.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, come step by step!"

After Guo Shouyun waved, Wendy turned around and walked out.

Not long after, George Davis pushed open the door and walked in. Guo Shouyun had no special reason to see him. It is mainly to discuss the meaning of forming a specialized team of lawyers.

In the United States, whether ordinary people or high-class gentlemen, the most inseparable is a lawyer!

After dealing with the company's affairs, Guo Shouyun left LinkedIn's tripled office area and drove to Google's headquarters.

Looking at the familiar logo, Guo Shouyun's mentality at this time has undergone an earth-shaking change from the last time he came. Last time he was just a crazy speculator who pretended to be calm and didn't know whether his adventure would be successful. But now, after spending nearly $120 million to get 59.95% of Google's equity, although only 39.95% of the voting rights, it still can't shake Sergey Brin and Larry Page's belief in the company Absolute control, but the real interests contained in the shares are in his hands. As long as Google grows according to its original trajectory, even if his equity is diluted for various reasons such as listing and rewarding management, it will definitely be a super asset worth more than $300 billion in the next ten years.

As long as he thinks of these, Guo Shouyun is greatly encouraged. Since his rebirth, the first major goal he had worked so hard to plan for his future has finally been successfully achieved.

Walking into the Google office, this time the front desk saw him again, with respect in his eyes. Although his appointment as Google chairman and CEO due to the existence of the 'royalty contract' has not been announced among the Google staff, but because of his two 'marketing models' are so brilliant that they almost directly changed Google s future. Therefore, out of gratitude, and of course, more needs to retain talents, Page has put the title of vice president of operations on Guo Shouyun. Even if he can't get the $80 million investment in one or two months, he can still let Guo Shouyun's talent serve the company.

Going through the office area, I found Larry Page's office directly. After knocking on the door to get permission, Guo Shouyun strode in.

"Bruce?"

"You're so surprised. Why, aren't you welcome?" Guo Shouyun joked.

Although Guo Shouyun seldom came to Google during this period, Larry Page and Sergey Brin often emailed him to ask him about the specific operation of the two business models and some problems encountered in the company's operation. Therefore, compared to the beginning, the relationship between Guo Shouyun and the two has become much closer.

"How come! Come, sit down and talk!"

Larry Page put down his work and took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

Guo Shouyun nodded, and the two sat together on the sofa in the reception area.

After Larry Page, the owner, served two cups of coffee, "the 80 million fund has been received by the Finance Department. Moreover, we have also received documents from Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins and Andy to change their shareholdings. Now, if you got your wish, is it time for you to consider coming to work at Google?"

"certainly!"

Guo Shouyun nodded without hesitation.

"Great! I can't help but want to see the chemistry of the two business models applied to Google!" Larry Page said excitedly.

"Larry, I don't think it's easy to make it public right now!"

After looking at him, Guo Shouyun said solemnly.

"why?"

Larry Page frowned.
