Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 599 You must know how to be grateful

In particular, Wang Ye said that the shareholding ratio of the website remains unchanged. This time, Sergey does not need to pay for it, which is too generous!
Because normally, Facebook, Wang Ye holds 80.00% of the shares, and Sergei holds 20.00%.

In the second round of financing, if Wang Ye invests an additional 1000 million, Sergey will also need to spend 250 million dollars.

In this case, the proportion of shares of the website can remain unchanged.

If Sergey doesn't pay, he needs to dilute his shares and recalculate according to the current valuation of the website.

Perhaps his shareholding ratio will directly shrink to [-]% or even lower!

So Sergey was quite surprised, he never expected Wang Ye to be so generous.

However, after hesitating again and again, he still shook his head and said:

"Mr. Mikhail, this is inappropriate. It is because of your investment that Facebook can really start. Otherwise, it is estimated that it is only limited to the campus network of Moda until now, and few people know about it.

With that $100 million investment, Facebook became formalized and grew rapidly.

What's more, the lottery you organized this time has directly increased the popularity of the website several times.

I know very well that you have been supporting the development of Facebook with your own resources.

For this company, you have actually done more than me!

When I invested for the first time, I already had a lot of advantages in the shares.

Now for the second round of financing, I don’t pay a penny, and keep the shares from being diluted, it’s really unreasonable..."

Wang Ye is quite satisfied with Sergey's statement.

He can be generous with the shares, so that Sergey, the founder of the website, holds a sufficient proportion of the shares, so that after several rounds of financing, the founder will not become a wage earner...

However, Sergey must know how to be grateful, and more importantly, he must understand that although he founded this website, in fact, it is him, Mikhail, who really makes this website successful!

What Sergey said now shows that he is a sensible and grateful person.

Then handing over Facebook to such a person, Wang Ye is also more at ease.

…………

He smiled and said peacefully: "I said, when we wait for the next round of financing, just follow the rules. This round is still our internal follow-up investment. I am more optimistic about this project, so I am willing to do it again." Follow up with a sum of money. After the next round of financing, external funds may be introduced.”

For Facebook, Wang Ye does have great expectations.

It is even more important than the already acquired MAIL.RU and YANDEX!
Because although the volume of those two websites is much larger than that of Facebook, the potential is not great anymore!
It is almost impossible to go out to the world.

Because whether it is a portal website, a search engine, or an e-mail, Laomei has better choices!

After all, these two websites are also "imitating and borrowing" from Laomei, and they are not as good as others in terms of technical strength.

But Facebook is different.

This website has its unique innovations, so far, it is the only one in the world!
There is no other website quite like it.

Moreover, this website is doing social and self-media...

These two categories are definitely the most promising and potential in the Internet industry.

Just look at the market value of Facebook in later generations.

The 1000 million US dollar chasing investment is, firstly, a need for the development of the website, and secondly, it is also to buy Sergey’s loyalty.

Faced with the sincerity offered by Wang Ye, Sergey really couldn't refuse.

After all, he has devoted all his efforts to Facebook, so naturally he doesn't want to become an insignificant minority shareholder.

It is really his luck to meet such a generous boss as Wang Ye!
So, when he got up to leave, Sergey was still thanking...

…………

Rosiana watched the whole process of chatting between Wang Ye and Sergey.

After Sergey left, she rolled her eyes and said to Wang Ye with a smile: "Misha, this Facebook is going to conduct a second round of financing now?"

Wang Ye nodded and said nothing.

Rosiana quickly continued: "I feel that this round of financing of 1000 million is not enough. Didn't you say that you want to develop Facebook abroad, which requires a lot of money. Do you want to bring in some more investment? I can help with that."

Wang Ye looked at Rosiana amusedly, and asked, "Do you think I can't afford more money?"

Rosiana was at a loss for words, indeed, in terms of net worth, in the whole of Russia, there may not be many people who are higher than Wang Ye!
Even their family, the entire family's assets add up, whether there are as many as Wang Ye alone, that's hard to say...

If Facebook needs more funds, Wang Ye doesn't need others to take action at all, he can do it all by himself!

Don't forget, the acquisition of the three major auto brands just spent $42 billion.

But in the company account of the Russian Automobile Group, there are still [-] million US dollars in remaining funds...

There is no place to spend this money for the time being!

After mumbling for a long time, Wang Ye didn't hear what Rosiana was saying.

But he didn't care, and went to work on his own.

After a while, Rosiana came over again, with a smile on her face, and said flatteringly: "Boss, if Facebook refinances next time, can you let me participate?"

Wang Ye raised his head, looked at her, and asked calmly: "The next round of financing will cost tens of millions of dollars, and it is estimated to be hundreds of millions. How much money can you give?"

Rosiana quickly patted her chest and said, "That depends on how much the boss asks me to vote! I can eat as much as I want."

This girl has a lot of appetite...

Wang Ye smiled and asked with great interest: "Is your family wanting to invest in Facebook?"

Rosiana froze for a moment, but she also responded frankly: "Yes, didn't I do the lottery show on TV a few days ago? Then someone in my family contacted me and said they were interested in this Facebook. See if you can invest in it."

Wang Ye nodded slightly. This is normal. Although the Rosiana family is mainly engaged in the communication industry, they must diversify their investments after earning a lot of money.

This can reduce the risk.

Although many companies closed down in the cold winter of the Internet industry in the past few years, some excellent websites have survived tenaciously and are developing better and better.

This is the case with Wang Ye's acquisition of those two websites. Obviously, the Rosiana family is also interested in the Internet.

I just saw Facebook, a rising star, and Rosiana's relationship, so I wanted to see if there was a chance to invest in it.

He thought about it for a while, and said straightforwardly: "There is no chance this round, let's wait for the next round, then you will be counted as one, just prepare the money in advance!"
