The first thousand two hundred and ninety-one chapters Fei Ge started like this
Perhaps in the eyes of most people, Americans are very outgoing and cheerful, but in fact, no matter they are outgoing, they are determined by their respective environments. Just like Migray, this is because of his shy personality and being in the computer center all day long, he ends up not even understanding socializing.
Therefore, when facing friends like Milovic or men, he is normal, but if he faces girls, especially those who are very beautiful, he will be at a loss and know what to do.
After Caitlin and Tang Ran avoided, Migray was obviously relieved. Then Milovic introduced Zhou Ming to him again, and said that Zhou Ming was the best boss they needed: "Just as we had said before, as long as we can attract investment, we can start a business together and create the greatest search engine in the world together."
Milovic spoke very passionately, but Migray was very disrespectful: "I'm sorry, I don't remember when I promised you."
Milovic was very embarrassed. Fortunately, Milovic knew Milovic very well, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and continued to persuade him to get up, starting with Milovic's dream, and asking him if he wanted to create a software that belongs to him, rather than being monitored at Stanford University, and every code written here did not belong to him; if he didn't want to work for others for free, then starting a business is the best plan, and they can help him realize his dream.
Perridge also spoke next to him, saying that they could give Migray the greatest freedom and let him play freely. Nothing is better to cooperate than this. He also said that Migray dreams of being a boss? This is the best opportunity!
Zhou Ming was watching from the side without interrupting. After all, this was the first time he saw Migray and had no idea who this was. It seemed that Milovic and Peric had dealt with him in advance, and even planned Migray in when he was planning his business very early.
Then they will undoubtedly know Migray better than themselves. In this case, it is better not to interrupt easily.
And there is another point, if this Migray was really one of the three founders of Feige Company in his previous life, Milovic and Peric would definitely have a way to convince him.
The final result proved Zhou Ming's judgment. With the tireless persuasion of Milovic and Peric, Migray finally agreed to join their startup.
After agreeing to start a business together, Migray then pointed the question at Zhou Ming: "So Mr. Zhou Ming, you are our boss, how much investment can you give us?"
This is a very realistic question that will be faced sooner or later, but Zhou Ming did not answer, but asked them: "What is your budget?"
After Milovich and the others looked at each other and discussed, Milovich stretched out two fingers: "We have a budget of $200,000."
Zhou Ming was a little surprised: "Two hundred thousand US dollars?"
Milovich immediately explained: "Mr. Zhou Ming, this $200,000 is the most beneficial budget for the company's development. Of course, if the company develops alone, $100,000 is enough; if it really doesn't work, it's barely enough, but this is the bottom line. You know, for an Internet company, we always need to rent servers and buy high-performance computers, and handle enough bandwidth. If the budget is too small..."
Judging from Milovich's attitude, he would undoubtedly be wrong.
I wanted too much for him.
After all, the US dollar in this era is still quite valuable, and the general entrepreneurship financing is mostly around 100,000 US dollars, and some small projects even cost a few thousand or 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars. Therefore, Milovic opened his mouth and thought he had made Zhou Ming angry, so he hurriedly lowered the price and found a supplement.
It is impossible not to say that Milovic is still young now. If you want to change to a businessman with a little experience, you will at least kill 200,000 yuan. No matter whether the amount is really high or not, you will have to bargain. It would be too unhappy if you drop directly by yourself.
As for Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming knew that Milovic was calling the high price, but this $200,000... was a little stingy. Zhou Ming originally thought he would call it 51 million.
Still young!
"Then let's get $150,000." Zhou Ming said, and he warned Milovic, "It didn't matter if 200,000 dollars was the only thing you wanted to play with me to ask for a lot of money and then pay it back. I'm very angry. I think we should be more honest."
Milovic and Peric lowered their heads because they did have this plan. Although they have not really raised funds, they have also heard others talk about financing routines and knew that ordinary investors are very stingy. So when possible, you can report a slightly higher investment budget to investors, and then fight for a suitable price with investors, so that you can often get an amount similar to your psychological expectations.
But unexpectedly, their little abacus was exposed directly by Zhou Ming on the spot. Moreover, after Zhou Ming's words, Zhou Ming was not a stingy person either.
Of course, Zhou Ming is not a stingy person, especially when it comes to investing in the future. Since Zhou Ming knows that Feige will be one of the best Internet companies in the world in the future, he must keep it in his hands even if he invests one or two million yuan.
But just saying that, Zhou Ming would not really take out one or two million, because a startup company is so large, and it may not be a good thing to invest too much money. Just like the local cat at home, if you feed it all day, will it still catch mice?
Migray doesn't have so much burden, he said directly: "150,000 US dollars is enough for me to replace a good computer, is Mr. Zhou Ming? I can assure you that this search engine will definitely be the best in Silicon Valley and even the world!"
Zhou Ming smiled and said that he was very confident in this.
But when Zhou Ming asked them what name they would give their new company, they told Zhou Ming to call him Gouer.
This name surprised Zhou Ming because it was not the name in his memory. Zhou Ming asked them why they chose this name and what its meaning was.
Perridge answered that Zhou Ming and they had thought of a name long ago. Dog means infinite, which means that their search engines have endless possibilities, so calling this name can better reflect the value of search engines.
I see.
Although Zhou Ming understood, he still reminded them tactfully: "What do you think of the name Feige?"
Milovic and Peric were both stunned for a moment, and then asked if the name Zhou Mingfeige had any special meaning?
Zhou Ming shook his head and said that he didn't, but he thought it sounded pretty good.
Zhou Ming really couldn't say it, he didn't even say he knew it later
After Ge's success, I am more familiar with the name Feige.
Moreover, Zhou Ming really can't remember any allusions about Feige. If you want to tell a story, is it just that when they founded the company, they called the name wrong because they were careless?
Facing Zhou Ming's meaningless answer, Migray was dissatisfied at the time: "Mr. Zhou Ming, even if you are our investor boss, you can't interfere with the operation of our company from the beginning. We call Gouer and you want to name Feige. Do you think this name sounds very good..."
Milovic then took Migray's words: "Actually, we think the name Feige is quite good, otherwise it's called Feige."
Milovic said while winking Pericci's wildly, and Peric nodded in agreement.
If you agree with three votes, it will be called Feige.
Migray was stunned on the spot. What's going on? It's a little too casual, and I didn't mean that no matter how I looked at it just now, okay.
Not only Migray, but also Zhou Ming himself also had a headache. After all, he just said it casually. After all, Feige's reputation in later generations is too loud, and I still hope to keep it. However, if Milovich and others insist on changing it, I will just follow them. After all, the company still needs to operate on people. With a name of Feige, it cannot become the NO.1 of the world's Internet by itself.
But I never expected them to agree...
Of course, Zhou Ming could understand it. In fact, they were not that persistent about their name. Another one was Migray's big mouth. They were worried that Migray would annoy him and let their financing be reduced, so they had to nod and agree.
After deciding the company name, Zhou Ming chatted with Milovic and the others for a while before walking out of the computer room. Caitlin and Tang Ran were waiting at the door. Seeing that Zhou Ming finally came out, they came over to ask about the situation with great concern. Zhou Ming told them that things were going very well. Milovic and the others had recruited Migray for the joint venture, so they didn't take much effort today.
Caitlin and Tang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but then they told Zhou Ming that a few waves of people came to ask about the situation in the computer room just now, but I am afraid that someone was sent to inquire about the news.
Caitlin also told Zhou Ming: "Although we guarded the door and didn't let them in, I still think they have got the information they want."
Tang Ran was also very nervous, feeling that since those people had received the news, she was worried that they would bypass her and go directly to contact Milovic Peric and Migray, and intercept the fool behind her back.
Zhou Ming was very confident in Milovic and the others, but he had to be careful about this matter.
"Since they want to intercept the crooked people so much, then we will give them more opportunities." Zhou Ming said.
When it was inside, Zhou Ming had already considered this issue. Zhou Ming asked Tang Ran: "I know that the Tang family has sponsored several computer laboratories at Stanford and the University of California, right? They have many Internet investment companies in San Francisco and Silicon Valley."
Tang Ran nodded and said yes, Caitlin also added that not only the Tang family, but also her Harrusburg family has invested in many companies and foundations in the United States for this Internet bubble.
"That's great!"
