Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Everyone wants to invest

“I heard that Mr. Lin is the founder of Facebook, which has become popular all over the United States. I wonder if this is the case?” Henry Paulson, the president of Goldman Sachs Capital, came to Lin Hao with a wine glass and said.

Regarding Henry’s words, Lin Hao was not surprised at all. Facebook is now very popular in colleges and universities across the United States. As a leading capital, it is normal to pay attention to Facebook. So much capital coming tonight is basically for Facebook.

“Thank you very much for your attention to Facebook. I am indeed the founder of Facebook.” Lin Hao looked at Henry and said.

Hearing Lin Hao’s words, Henry’s eyes lit up. Goldman Sachs had already conducted a detailed survey on Facebook. The report showed that Facebook was developing very fast. It only took 2 months from the beginning to the present. The current users The capacity is about to exceed 1000W, and it is still developing at an extremely fast rate every day.

The report also mentioned that Facebook has taken the initiative to slow down its pace. Colleges and universities in the United States have not yet liberalized their policies. If they were fully liberalized, the daily growth would be described as terrifying. More importantly, Facebook now only allows Once college students are allowed to register, the whole society can register. I can’t believe how many users there will be.

“Mr. Lin is really a young talent. He has such a big career at a young age. When I was the same age as you, I just went to college and was busy playing games every day.” ”

Haha, thank you, you are so polite. .” Lin Hao smiled and clinked a drink with the other party.

“I don’t know if Facebook has any financing plans. Goldman Sachs is willing to invest in Facebook.” Henry looked at Lin Hao and said.

Hearing Henry’s words, Lin Hao understood clearly, “I wonder how much Goldman Sachs values Facebook?”

“Goldman Sachs is willing to invest 30 million US dollars to obtain 30% of Facebook’s shares.” Henry said to Lin Hao confidently Said, a valuation of 100 million US dollars is already considered a sky-high price, considering that Facebook has only been established for more than 2 months.

When Lin Hao heard the valuation of US$100 million, he first felt that it was too low. He thought it would be at least US$1 billion, but he didn’t expect it was only US$100 million. Lin Hao had no intention of accepting financing now.

Facebook has hardly spent any money since its development. The early promotion activities were just to find some part-time jobs, and the prices were extremely cheap. Later, we hired professional companies, but they didn’t cost much. The biggest expense was the increase in the number of users. It was too fast, a lot of servers were added, and there were bonuses from school beauty activities.

Especially the bonus, the number of schools holding school beauty activities has exceeded 500, which is more than 5 million US dollars.

Lin Hao did not want to raise funds now. On the one hand, Facebook is not yet large in scale. At least it will open registration across the United States. By then, it should have more than 20 million users. Secondly, there is no shortage of money now. Lin Hao transferred 10 million to the company’s account, and there were still several hundred million in Haohan Capital’s account.

It would be a big loss to raise money now, and the valuation given by Goldman Sachs was too low. Lin Hao thought it was too low. Ivanka who was standing aside was surprised when she heard the valuation given by Goldman Sachs, even though she knew that Facebook was developing very fast. Fast, but I didn’t expect the valuation to reach 100 million US dollars.

Ivanka looked at Lin Hao with brilliant eyes, full of surprises. She knew that Lin Hao was very good, but she didn’t expect that the company she just founded would be valued at 100 million in less than 3 months. This is incredible.

“Sorry, Mr. Henry’s Facebook has no financing plan yet.” Lin Hao said apologetically.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m just too impatient. Goldman Sachs is very optimistic about Facebook. If Facebook accepts financing, please notify us.” Hearing Lin Hao’s words, Henry was not surprised. He originally wanted to inquire about the situation today, but He also heard that Lin Hao was not very satisfied with the valuation.

“Thank you. If Facebook wants to raise funds, it must notify Goldman Sachs as soon as possible.” Lin Hao said politely.

When Henry heard Lin Hao’s words, he had another drink with Lin Hao, and then left.

“Not satisfied with the valuation?” Ivanka held Lin Hao’s hand and captured Lin Hao’s emotions very sensitively.

“One hundred million is too low.” Hearing Lin Hao’s words, Ivanka’s eyes became a little brighter.

“Then what is your psychological price?”

“Ten billion US dollars is about the same.” Lin Hao’s faint words directly made Ivanka open her mouth. Ivanka had never expected this figure. She thought Lin Hao would talk about 1 billion U.S. dollars, but he didn’t expect to ask for 100 times it. 10 billion U.S. dollars is too much.

Lin Hao did not explain much. Of course Facebook is not worth 10 billion US dollars now, but Lin Hao knows its future value. You must know that Facebook’s market value was more than 1 trillion US dollars when it was at its highest.

Ivanka was still shocked when the president of Red Shirt Capital, Michael Moritz, and the president of KPCB, John Doerr, walked over together.

“Lin, let’s get it straight. We work very happily together on Google. We can also work together on Facebook. The two of us can invest in Facebook together. It will be a good story when Facebook succeeds in the future. .”

The two of them had thought about it for a long time, but they didn’t expect that Goldman Sachs would take the lead. After seeing Lin Hao and Goldman Sachs finish chatting, the two of them came immediately. The 25 million US dollars they invested in Google together turned into 750 million. US dollars, it can be said that they have made a lot of money, and now they have to join forces to win Facebook.

“Goldman Sachs was also talking about this matter just now, but I’m not too satisfied with the valuation, and I’m not too short of money now, so…” “Don’t

worry about this, the two of us will invest together to give Facebook a valuation It’s 200 million U.S. dollars. We invested 80 million and got 40% of the shares. This price is definitely higher than Goldman Sachs.” It was indeed higher than Goldman Sachs

, but it was only 200 million U.S. dollars. Lin Hao really didn’t like it, so he smiled and said, “ I think it’s still too early for financing. If Facebook launches its financing plan in the future, it will definitely notify Hongshan and KPCB.”

After hearing Lin Hao’s words, the two looked at each other. They were still not satisfied with 200 million US dollars. Lin Hao’s What is the psychological price? Lin Hao could scare them to death if he said it.

“Okay, today’s occasion is not suitable to talk about this. We will talk later.” The two of them had a drink with Lin Hao and walked away.

As soon as Ivanka recovered from Lin Hao’s talk of US$10 billion, she heard that the two presidents of Hong Shi and KPCB had given Facebook a valuation of US$200 million, which was doubled.

Although Lin Hao’s 10 billion was a bit exaggerated, the valuation of 200 million US dollars was real, and he held Lin Hao’s hand a little tighter.
