Chapter 23
Verus looked at Joe and then at Larry, and said, "Joe, the stock in your hand has been diluted too many times, but it's not a small amount. Since you all know that the Internet bubble is about to collapse, at least you have to plan ahead." , It doesn’t matter if you can’t sell the stocks, you can lock your profits with stock index hedging, no matter how bad the fall is, you won’t lose a penny, even if it doesn’t fall, you will only lose some commissions.”

Larry and Joe's eyes lit up again. They were like moths bound in a spider's web, unable to see where to go. Now that Verus cleared the fog and gave them a blow, they realized that everything was so easy.

Larry and Joe feel that today is definitely their lucky day, and they must celebrate this day every year in the future. On this day in 2000, their good brother Verus not only taught them a lesson from the Internet Sunflower Book, but also Remind them to keep the hard-earned money they have worked so hard for most of their lives.

Regarding the current Internet economy in 2000, Larry and Joe really felt that it was overheated and overexpanded, but none of the frogs in the warm water thought that they would be the unlucky ones who took the last stick. Joe and Larry were in the stock price history. The peak of the highest life with the strongest sense of accomplishment, the most arrogant thoughts, and the stick of Verus directly awakened the two of them.

Although Larry is so self-willed and reckless, he can put the pigeons of hundreds of executives and other company presidents attending the Oracle Developers Conference in San Francisco for the America's Cup, but on the other hand he is very good buddy, He was extremely grateful for Verus' timely reminder, and he decided to repay his brother well.

If you don’t sell your own stocks, you can open a short position and sell the stock index. Once the Nasdaq falls to a third and a quarter of its peak, as Verus said, Larry and Joe may not lose money and pay back. Having made a fortune, Oracle is full of confidence in the face of enterprise-level market holders. The bubble is actually not very big, and the decline must be much smaller than the decline of the stock index.

Larry said: "Brother, let's not talk about business, you can do it at ease, the two of us just invest money and don't care about things, does your arena have a name, my oracle bone will name you, Joe will name your brother The arena, Joe, what do you mean?"

Speaking of which, this is also the leader of Joe's gang, Joe said: "The fruit is in crisis now and the performance is bleak, so it is impossible to agree to pay a sum of money. Pixar to sponsor the title, if your brother doesn't mind."

Said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there, Verus stood up and waved and shouted: "Hey, Doug, here!"

Doug, who was dressed in a suit and clean, walked over quickly, and said affectionately, "Hi, hello boss, hello two big brothers."

Verus introduced Doug to Larry and Joe, and the four of them sat down and had a good chat. Larry couldn't help but make a decision, and said, "I'll let the legal and financial public relations departments contact your team when I go back. One hundred million US dollars, don’t think it’s too little.”

Joe then said: "Doug, my Pixar can't compare with Larry's Oracle, how about 5 million in five years."

Larry and Joe, veterans in the business field, not only made this decision hastily because of their brother's face and the stock market warning, they can both see that this unestablished company has unlimited potential and unlimited money.

The two brothers in front of them are the masters of the company who have the right to speak. It is far better to be rich and rich now than to come back to make up for it later.

Doug hadn’t even spoken a few words when he first arrived, when he was stunned by a huge pie that fell from the sky. It didn’t take long for him to get such a large naming fee from a Silicon Valley tycoon. The major professional leagues are also leveraged.

Sure enough, the boss was comfortable, and Doug hurriedly flattered him: "Boss, I have already gone back and dealt with my old man, and I have sent him to the San Francisco hotel. You can do whatever you want, and I will listen to you. "

Verus said: "Brother, I originally wanted to take you to meet a venture capitalist, but my elder brother Larry and Joe are also optimistic about our project, so the two of them are here to invest, you won't have any objection."

Doug quickly patted his chest to make up his mind, and said: "I have no problem. Boss, you said that I will never face east. There are two big brothers in Silicon Valley who are not much better than those vampires. I have confidence in you, Boss."

Larry said disdainfully: "Those damn venture capitalists want to suck every drop of blood from you. If you can't do it, they will break the contract and withdraw the investment early. If you do it, they will kick you out. Who in Silicon Valley doesn't hate those people?" guy."

Joe said helplessly: "But the vast majority of projects in Silicon Valley can only ask them to invest money. They control the money bag, and there is nothing you can do if you don't like them. No one will make trouble with money."

Joe suddenly remembered something again and said, "Verus, your plan is very detailed and complete now, but if you want to support such massive data processing and screening and comparison as you said, it is definitely not enough to rely on manual search of the database Yes, there must be a strong enough search engine support, but also in-depth cooperation, and a firm control over the dominance of the data center engine.”

Larry said: "For search engines, let's go to Yahoo. Although I don't like them, they are the leaders in the industry. Or Lycos and Excite are also good. There is also a company with an exclamation point."
