Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Especially since Wang Ye said that the share ratio of the website remains unchanged, and Sergey does not need to pay this time, this is too generous!

Because normally, Wang Ye holds 80% of Facebook shares and Sergey holds 20%.

In this second round of financing, if Wang Ye invests an additional 10 million, Sergey will also need to come up with 2.5 million US dollars.

In this case, the share ratio of the website can remain unchanged.

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

Perhaps his shareholding will directly shrink to 10% or even lower!

So Sergey was quite surprised. He didn't expect Wang Ye to be so generous.

However, after much hesitation, he still shook his head and said:

"Mr. Mikhail, this is inappropriate. It is with your investment that Facebook can really take off. Otherwise, it is estimated that by now, it will only be limited to the campus network of MSU, and not many people will know about it.

With that $1 million investment, Facebook was 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 using your own resources.

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

When I first invested, I already got a big advantage on the shares.

Now in the second round of financing, I don’t pay a penny and my shares are not diluted, which is really unreasonable..."

Wang Ye was quite satisfied with Sergey's statement.

He can be more generous in terms of shares, allowing Sergey, the founder of the website, to hold a sufficient proportion of shares, lest the founder become a wage earner after several rounds of financing...

However, Sergey must know how to be grateful, and he must also understand that although he founded this website, in fact, it was him, Mikhail, who really made this website successful!

Now Sergey's words show that he is a sensible and grateful person.

So Wang Ye feels more comfortable leaving Facebook to such a person.

…………

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

Wang Ye indeed has great expectations for Facebook.

Even more important than the already acquired MAIL.RU and YANDEX!

Because although those two websites are now much larger than Facebook, their potential is not great anymore!

It's almost impossible to go global.

Because whether it is a portal website, a search engine, or an email, there are better choices in the United States!

After all, these two websites are also "imitation" of the old and American ones, and they are not as good as others in terms of technical strength.

But Facebook is different.

This website has its own unique innovations. At present, it is the only one in the world!

There is no other website like it.

Moreover, this website is engaged in social networking 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 and you will understand.

This ten million US dollar pursuit investment is indeed needed for the development of the website, and secondly it is also to buy Sergey's loyalty.

Faced with Wang Ye's sincerity, Sergey really couldn't refuse.

After all, he has devoted all his efforts to Facebook, so he naturally does not want to become an insignificant minority shareholder.

Now that he has met such a generous boss like Wang Ye, that is really his luck!

So, when Sergey stood up to say goodbye, he kept thanking...

…………

Rosiana watched the entire chat between Wang Ye and Sergey.

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

Wang Ye nodded and said nothing.

Rosiana quickly continued: "I feel that 10 million in this round of financing is not enough. Didn't you say you want to develop Facebook abroad, which requires a lot of money. Do you want to bring in more investments? , I can help in this regard.”

Wang Ye looked at Rosiana funny and asked, "You think I can't get more money?"

Rosiana was speechless. Indeed, in terms of net worth, there may not be many people in Russia who are higher than Wang Ye!

It's hard to say whether the combined assets of their family and the entire family are as much as those of Wang Ye alone...

If Facebook needs more funds, Wang Ye doesn't need anyone else to take action, he can handle it all by himself!

Don’t forget, it just spent $4.2 billion to acquire the three major car brands.

But there is still US$800 million in remaining funds in the company's corporate account of Gazprom...

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

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

But he didn't care and went about his business.

After a while, Rosiana came over again, with a smile on her face, and said flatteringly: "Boss, if Facebook raises funds 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. It is estimated to be hundreds of millions. How much money can you put out?"

Rosiana hurriedly patted her chest and said, "It depends on how much the boss asks me to vote! I can eat whatever share you give me."

This girl has a big appetite...

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

Rosiana was stunned for a moment, but she responded calmly: "Yeah, didn't I do that lottery show on TV a few days ago? Then someone from my family contacted me and said they were interested in this Facebook network. Let’s see if we can invest in it.”

Wang Ye nodded slightly. This is normal. Although the Rosiana family is mainly engaged in the communications industry, they will definitely have to diversify their investments after making too much money.

This can reduce the risk.

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

This was the case with Wang Ye's acquisition of the two websites. Apparently the Rosiana family was also interested in the Internet.

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

He thought about it and said cheerfully: "There is no chance in this round. Let's wait for the next round. Then you will be counted. Just prepare the money in advance!"
