America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 518 Harvest of sowing

   Turns out Eric Schmidt, he's on the phone because of recent developments at Google, and he's stuck in a problem—

  As the number one search engine in the United States and even the world today, the two co-founders, Sergey and Larry, want to continue financing.

  The problem is that as CEO, Eric Schmidt is now on Abel's side.

  Eric believes that Google has already entered the stage of a good virtuous circle of development. It can provide profits for itself.

  In addition to the search engine industry, it has also passed the stage of relying on large-scale burning of money to grab the market.

  Google, a dominant company, is not short of money at this stage. Since it is not short of money, why raise money?

   Wait for the company to develop better and refinance, isn’t it more valuable?

   Or don’t raise money at all, and go public directly at that time, and the existing shareholders will benefit more.

   But from the perspective of Larry and Sergey, they don't think so.

   Mainly now, Abel holds too much Google stock.

  Smith personally holds 38.99% of Google's shares, more than one-third.

  This seriously reduces the voice of Larry and Sergey in Google.

  Although everyone has been working together very happily, Abel is also very supportive of their work at Google.

  This is the reason why Google has developed a good momentum since it took a stake in Abel.

  But people have short-term worries without foresight. The two co-founders are obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of power that requires the cooperation of Abel.

  Because of Abel's current influence and the close to 40% of the shares, they dared not speak up before.

   And re-investment financing, attract new shareholders to come in, dilute Abel's stock in Google as much as possible, and rebuild a new mountain among Google's shareholders.

   are the two co-founders, the only way to get rid of or reduce Abel’s influence.

   Eric Schmidt is against this kind of thing. He is a professional manager, even if he can get the shares of Google, the number will definitely not be too many.

  Introducing new shareholders may instead cause Google, which has a good development momentum, to fall into such and such problems.

   Instead of this, it is better to continue to maintain the status quo, and wait for Google to develop better before considering these issues.

   Eric Schmidt objected, plus he is now inside Google, already recognized as Abel's man.

  The CEO called to inform Abel of the matter, and at the same time wanted to know Abel's opinion or obtain Abel's support.

  In the compartment of the Cadillac monster car, after listening to Eric Schmidt's narration, Abel pondered for a while.

  Actually, Abel had expected this kind of thing.

  The two co-founders, Larry and Sergey, are not willing to be inferior to others.

   Otherwise, before the Internet bubble burst, Yahoo had better conditions, and they could have sold Google to Yahoo at that time.

  They didn't sell it, probably because the Internet was developing very well at that time, and they felt that Google would be more valuable in the future.

  Secondly, these two people have a great desire for power and do not want to give up Google.

   Now that he has replaced Yahoo, the two will fight back and try to expand their right to speak, which Abel has long expected.

  “Financing is never a bad thing, and sufficient funds are always a good thing.”

  Abel held Ikana in one hand, felt the beauty of her body, and said softly:

   "Eric, we should support Larry and Sergey."

  Hearing what Abel said, Eric Schmidt was startled.

  The current CEO of Google was very disappointed when he got this reply from his boss.

  If Abel has this attitude, then Eric feels that he is really a villain.

   Might as well cooperate with Larry and Sergey to make my work at Google go more smoothly.

   Fortunately, just when Eric Schmidt was a little disappointed.

  He heard Abel's voice on the phone again.

   "However, regarding the valuation of the financing, how much do Larry and Sergey intend to quote?"

   "About $30 billion, no more than $35 billion."

   Eric Schmidt regained his spirits and answered Abel's question.

   "Then you just tell them, if the amount of financing is less than 35 billion US dollars, I will subscribe as much as I want. If you want me not to continue to expand the equity, then the valuation of this financing must exceed 50 billion US dollars."

  Abel remembers that Google in the parallel time and space, after the Nasdaq bubble burst, when it first started public financing, the stock valuation was 32 billion US dollars.

  In this time and space, because of its own reasons, Google has obviously developed better. Its valuation is now at least $40 billion or more.

  Larry and Sergey want to introduce new major shareholders to dilute their equity.

  Abel didn’t actually object, because he knew that if he wanted to make Google really big, it would be unrealistic for him to monopolize so many shares.

  Since this is the case, try to maximize your own interests in the process of distributing stocks.

  It is not a bad thing to sell more money, get back the investment, and make more money.

  At the same time, a higher valuation can also repel those pretenders who have no strength to a certain extent.

   Let the new shareholders of Google, either have the strength, or they are very optimistic about Google.

   This must be a good thing for Google.

   Just for the two co-founders, maybe not so good.

  Hearing the figure of 50 billion US dollars proposed by Abel, Eric Schmidt knew that Abel wanted to make trouble.

  Google is very valuable now, but it is really not worth 50 billion US dollars.

   It’s not Microsoft or Yahoo, it’s Google, which is mainly a search engine, and its market value is now worth $40 billion.

  If it is a valuation of 50 billion US dollars, it will not be so easy for Larry and Sergey to bring in major shareholders.

  Investors will consider whether the current Google is worth so much money, and consider that Google does not have much development prospects in the future.

   You know, this is Google without Android and without other services.

   Relying on a search engine, with a market value of 50 billion US dollars, obviously there is a big question mark.

   "I see what you mean, Mr. Smith. I'm going to tell the two co-founders."

  Eric Schmidt had a relaxed smile on his face.

  With Abel’s request, it will be easier for him to speak when facing the two co-founders.

"Well, Eric. Don't worry about doing it. Anyway, I support you. Even if you can't do it at Google in the future, you are welcome to come to Smith Media, Tesla Motors, or other companies you are interested in. .”

   "Oh, thank you, BOSS. But now, I have to take control of Google for you.!"

   Eric Schmidt said excitedly, even changing his title.

  Abel smiled, "That's it, anyway, I believe in you. Goodbye, Eric."

   "Goodbye, BOSS."

   Wait for the convoy to return to Santa Barbara, about 18 kilometers away from the airport.

  When Ikana and Paris arrived at the villa where they had a baby.

   It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.

  The door of the Cadillac monster is opened.

   Abel, who is full of vigor and energy, comes down from above.

   Then Ikana blushed.

   The two entered the brightly lit villa, and Ikana directly brought him to Paris, who had given birth to the child and was recuperating.

   "I'm going to visit my two little babies, and it's your time."

  Ikana, who gave birth to Abel's only twins, is still very open about these things now.

  She feels that her position is stable, and there is no need to compete for favor on such trivial matters.

   What's more, because of Abel, the relationship between her and Paris is indeed better.

   Give Abel to Paris temporarily, Ikana can still do it.

   Even Paris would be grateful to me for doing this. she thinks

   Sure enough, Ikana gave herself a grateful look when she saw Paris.

  She waved her hand chicly, turned and left Paris' room.

  In the room, only Abel was left, and Paris, who had just given birth and was lying on the Simmons, was resting.

   "Hey, dear..." Paris's voice sounded a little weak, and she spoke hoarsely before Abel walked to her Simmons.

   "Have you seen our child? He is so beautiful. He will definitely be a handsome young man in the future. I don't know how many people will be fascinated!"

  Abel smiled, didn't speak immediately, and went directly to her, leaned down and kissed her.

  Paris struggled slightly to avoid, "Don't, don't kiss, I just finished taking the medicine, it smells a bit..."

  However, Abel didn't care at all. He knew that the more he didn't shy away from these things at this time, the more comfortable the women would feel.

   After a long French mouth, Paris gasped for breath before Abel let her go.

   "You are more important, dear. The child is only the crystallization of our relationship, and will always be second to the relationship between the two of us."

  Now these sweet words, Abel can speak very fluently.

   It is not impossible to have a complete interest relationship with women. But adding a little emotional embellishment in it will make both parties more happy and let you enjoy yourself more spiritually.

   Abel didn't mind doing the little extra "work".

  His sweet words were so effective that even Paris' eyes softened.

  Combined with his power and appearance, at this moment Paris felt that all the hard work during the day was worth it.

  She even wanted to have a few more children for him, and get a few more crystallizations of love.

  She didn't want to think about it, Ikana went to the airport to meet him in person just now.

  With the **** nature of these two people, something must happen during the journey home from the airport.

  Paris had just given birth not long after all. Although she had rested for a day, she was still a little depressed.

  Under the comfort of Abel, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

  After finishing the mothering of the child, Abel went to the temperature-controlled baby room next door to visit another child of his own.

   is a beautiful little boy, with very thick hair from birth, and his hair color is a bit pale blonde—this is the same hair color as himself and Paris, and I don’t know whether he inherited it from his mother or his father.

  As for the facial features, all newborn babies look a little ugly, and the outline of the future facial features can only be seen after the full moon.

   During this period, apart from having no hair, it was actually a bit like a little monkey.

   Of course there is nothing to see.

  Already the father of many children, Abel is very experienced in this area.

  To be a "farmer" who sows seeds, one must have the ability.

  The baby was still sleeping, Alberto took a few glances and left the nursery.

  In the room not far from the next door, there are mothers of two other children and her two children, who need to visit by themselves.

   When he got to Ikana's room, Ikana was not there.

   She is in the nursery next door, tending to Abel's twins.

  Abel was about to go out when he saw her walking back.

   "Oh, dear. After reading it, how is it? I think Paris's child is not as good-looking as my little Andy. But it's not too bad, because after all, I inherited your genes."

   "Ha, don't you think Andy and Ivana are going to be alone?"

   "Huh? How come? They have a mother who loves them the most, and you, a father who loves them, will be the happiest baby in the world. How could it be... woo, woo..."

   She only finished half of her words, and there was no way to continue.

  Because Abel is already planning to create more siblings for Andy and Ivana.

   More than two hours later, it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning.

In Ikana's bedroom, she was lying on her side in Abel's arms, with a slender beautiful crescent on Abel's crescent, her chin resting on his bear mouth, looking up at her child's Father, still panting, showed a sweet smile a little foolishly.

   "I almost died..."

   "Hehe." Abel reached out and stroked her smooth jade back, "That's not what you said just now."

   "Honey, please bear with me. Let's talk about something else, like the Internet? When we were in the car, it seemed like the CEO of Google called you?"

  Abel smiled, and didn't really continue to plow on Ikana.

   It has been less than two months since she gave birth.

   Fifty days later, you can already have intercourse.

   It wasn't long before Charlize gave birth to little Alia, or even earlier.

   But not too often, or too tired.

   Seriously, it may really hurt her body.

  Then the gain outweighs the loss.

  Abel restrained his desire and talked to her about some things about Google.

   “$50 billion valuation? Jesus, will anyone agree?”

  As soon as I heard that Google was going to raise funds and Abel insisted on a valuation of 50 billion US dollars, Ikana couldn't help being amazed.

  This is now in 2002. Not long ago, General Electric, which had the largest market value, had a peak market value of less than 500 billion US dollars.

   It is not the year of 2020 that there are several companies with a market value of trillions of dollars, and companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, but even dozens.

  In this era, companies with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars are already great giants.

  Companies with a market value of more than 30 billion are already leading companies in their fields.

  Google is not Microsoft or Yahoo, it is just the overlord of the search engine industry.

   At the current state of the ebb of the Internet bubble, say it is worth 50 billion US dollars, no one will believe it.

   “Of course the price is a bit high, but I’m sure people will follow. And if no one wants to invest, that’s more to my liking.”

   "Why do you say that?" Ikana felt a little tired, but she was a woman who wanted to improve, and she wanted to understand even if she insisted.

  Abel looked at her cute and **** look, and felt that since Ikana was struggling to get tired, she had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, so naturally she would not hide it from her.

  He told her everything about the filth within Google and the real purpose of Eric Schmidt's phone call just now.

  After listening to the whole story, Ikana frowned slightly and said:

   "Honey, those two guys really don't know what to do. If it weren't for your help then, it doesn't matter whether there is a Google company now!"

  Abel smiled, knowing that she was referring to the fact that she entered and invested in Google when it was the most dangerous time for Google, so that it would not be too difficult during the period when the Internet bubble burst.

  However, the reality is that even without itself, Google, which has become a climate, will not have any problems.

   In this regard, there is no need to explain to her carefully.

  Suddenly, Abel heard Ikana whisper, "Honey, when little Andy and little Ivana grow up, I want to continue working. But I don't want to go back to New York, I want to work here in Los Angeles."

  Abel looked down at her in surprise, "But the fashion center of the United States will always be New York. No matter how hard Los Angeles and Miami catch up, they will never be able to catch up."

   “Then I wouldn’t work in fashion.”

  Ikana suddenly reached out to hold Abel's bear's mouth, supported her body, her beautiful eyes flashed with light of wisdom, and she didn't care at all that the charming scenery of her watermelon-like babies hanging upside down gave Abel a panoramic view.

   "I plan to hand over YKM company to Paris." She said, "After staying here in California for so long, I found that I actually prefer the Internet industry!"

   "Oh?" Abel was a little surprised, "YKM was founded by you, even the name is your name. Can you really give up? And are you really interested in the Internet?"

"Well." Ikana said affirmatively: "YKM was founded more because of my father. In fact, the interest in the field of fashion and clothing is mainly because I am a woman. But now I find that, My interest in this has faded."

   "I want to help you here in California. Honey, I'm a little uncomfortable in New York right now."

  Ikana looked at Abel and said softly but seriously.
