Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 579 I voted for this project

After speaking in one breath, Sergey still had more to say.

Sighed and said: "Hey, unfortunately I don't have funds, I can do the programming myself, but I don't have the money to do the UI art of the website, so the website looks very simple. Moreover, I don't have the money to promote it. I plan to Let’s promote it in our school first, and then gradually expand to other universities in Moscow.”

Building a website is not that simple.

It’s not just about technology. Without enough funds, the initial stage will be quite slow.

Employees can't afford it, servers can't be rented, and promotion can't be done.

Relying on word-of-mouth publicity alone is a bit of nonsense, because the creativity of the Internet industry is not protected.

Once a large company finds out that your website has a good idea, they will "copy" it directly, and if others have strong financial and technical reserves, then they will directly give up the originality.

Who do you turn to to reason with this kind of thing.

Wang Ye said calmly: "Then why don't you try to find a venture capital company, maybe someone else will take a fancy to this project and invest you a sum of money, wouldn't you have start-up capital?"

Sergey shook his head again and again, and said helplessly: "If you were in the United States, maybe you can try it, but in Moscow, no one is interested in my personal website, and there are not so many venture capital companies. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I I don’t even know if there are similar venture capital firms in Moscow.”

"Then how much does it cost to start this project, including employee recruitment, website promotion, and server leasing?" Wang Ye continued to ask.

Sergey frowned and thought for a while, then stretched out a slap.

"At least $[-]!
This is already a situation where you can save as much as you can. Employees can find part-time jobs for students of related majors in various universities. I am familiar with this.

As for the server, we can secretly use our school's server in the early stage, and I was in charge of it.

But for website promotion, this money can’t be saved. If you advertise on a portal like MAIL.RU for a month, if the location is not so good, it will cost [-] to [-] U.S. dollars.

The [-] dollars, save a little money, can last for about three months.

However, after three months, the website should have improved. Whether it is to attract investment or consider the profit model, it is the next stage of the problem. "

Wang Ye nodded, Sergey really didn't have a big appetite, and he only dared to ask for $[-].

To be honest, investing this little money is just a small fight.

When the Internet industry was booming in the past two years, many websites were filled with millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

The term "burning money" came from the Internet industry!
…………

"Then what do you think your website...or how much your idea is worth, that is, the valuation of your website." Wang Ye asked with great interest.

Sergey said without hesitation: "It's worth at least 50.00 U.S. dollars! If a company invests [-] U.S. dollars for me, I will give them [-]% of the shares, no more."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to realize something, stretched his head to stare at Wang Ye, and asked suspiciously: "Why do I feel that your face looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere."

Wang Ye smiled, "We are roommates, how could we not meet each other?"

Sergey shook his head quickly and said: "It's not that, I mean, I seem to have seen you on... TV or newspapers... or other places. You will not be a big star! But judging by your temperament and appearance, you are still I am not surprised if you really want to tell me that you are a star with your clothes. But I rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry."

As he spoke, he laughed.

That's right, although Wang Ye came to school, he didn't dress very formally.

But the clothes on her body must be top-notch brands, and the watch in her hand looks like jewels, and it's worth a lot!

Therefore, Sergey said that he is a star. Although it is wrong, it is not too close.

Isn't Wang Ye the brightest star in the Moscow political arena...

Wang Ye shook his head, neither admitted nor denied, just took out a thin wallet from his pocket, and pulled out a piece of paper from it.

Stretching out his hand to Sergey, he said, "I voted for your project!"

Sergey was stunned, not knowing what Wang Ye was talking about.

What project, what voted for...

Looking down at the piece of paper in Wang Ye's hand, he didn't know what it was.

Obviously, Wang Ye saw that Sergey didn't understand what he meant, so he explained: "This is a cash check, which can be cashed in any bank. This money is my personal investment for your project, of course , I want shares. By the way, $100 is too little, since we want to do it, let’s make it bigger, it’s [-] million!"

Sergey felt his scalp go numb, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

100 million... US dollars...

This is not kidding yourself!
My roommate, who is so sacred, how could he just pick up a check for 100 million dollars in cash!

He swallowed, and said with an embarrassed smile, "You...are you kidding me?"

Wang Ye said calmly: "Do you think I'm joking? Or, you really don't know who I am?"

Sergey asked subconsciously: "Aren't you just a student? By the way, what's your name, I didn't catch it just now..."

Wang Ye had no choice but to say, "Open our school's official website."

While operating the computer, Sergey asked suspiciously: "Why do you open the official website? Are you still the school leader, and there is your introduction on it? Impossible! Our school is not as young as you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the big photo on the homepage of the school's official website, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words.

After staring at the computer screen for a long time, he suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Ye, looked at him several times, and then turned his head to look at the computer screen.

After going back and forth like this two or three times, he finally asked in disbelief, "Your name is... Mikhail!"

Wang Ye smiled and nodded, "It's guaranteed to be true."

Sergey suddenly wailed, hugged his head with his hands, sat on the chair and shook and swayed, and kept muttering: "Damn it! My roommate is actually a big shot, how did I not know until now! Sergey , what have you been doing all day..."

What he regrets is that he only found out about Wang Ye's identity now. If he had known about it earlier, wouldn't he have started his project long ago!
Maybe, if I had found Mikhail to invest in a few months earlier, my website would have become a rising star on the Russian Internet!
Wang Ye reminded him: "How do you say, will you accept my investment? However, I want more than half of the shares..."
