Silicon Valley

Jeff Hawkins hung up the phone, still with a shocked look on his face! He took a deep breath. Since Mr. Williams is willing to invest, there is naturally no problem with the funds! Jeff Hawkinston was relieved, leaned his head back, leaned on the armchair, relaxed his whole body, and immediately laughed happily involuntarily!

These days, in order to find investment, Jeff Hawkins has gone to many places, but it is very difficult to get investment.

Getting rejected so many times is exhausting both physically and mentally!

After a while, another partner of PalmComputing company hurriedly arrived from outside with a very excited expression on his face!

"Jeff Hawkins, I have good news for you, Bruce Donlevy Ventures is willing to invest in us! Mr. Bruce Donlevy is willing to invest $500,000 in our PalmComputing company!!!"

$500,000 is a lot for a startup, and Jeff Hawkins would be very happy if he hadn't just received a call from Harrison. However, in the phone call just now, Harrison clearly told Jeff Hawkins that Henry Williams was willing to invest in his company. Henry Williams has always been a big spender. Although Jeff Hawkins doesn't know how much he will invest, he thinks it should be far more than a mere $500,000. For him, this amount is probably too small, not at all. Feel free to take it out...

"Oh, that's really good news, Robert!!!" Jeff Hawkins smiled, then said to him, "However, I have better news for you?"

Robert looked at Jeff Hawkins in surprise, with a hint of doubt on his face. He thought about it and asked, "Is there any other company willing to invest in Palm Computing?"

"Oh yes, you guessed it right!!!" Jeff Hawkins replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Robert excitedly asked, "Tell me. Which company is it??"

"Hehe, can you guess?" Jeff Hawkins was in a good mood and couldn't help teasing him.

Robert was taken aback. Jeff Hawkins is actually in the mood to sell out. It seems that this time the investment will be higher. Robert sat on the opposite chair carelessly and smiled. "Jeff Hawkins, how can you guess that, eh? Could it be some of the better-known VC firms you've been to before? Oh, spare me, I've never been good at guessing puzzles since I was a kid. Just tell me. , how much are they willing to invest this time? Is it higher than the $500,000 invested by Bruce Donlevy Ventures?”

Jeff Hawkins smiled and shook his head!

Robert didn't understand why. Feeling a little disappointed: "Eh. Not even $500,000?!"

"Hehe, how could there not be $500,000? It's just that, I don't know the exact amount yet, but it must be much more than $500,000!" Jeff Hawkins looked at Robert's expression amusingly and said immediately. : "Okay, I won't tease you anymore! I'll tell you the news right away, I think this news will definitely shock you!!"

"Okay. Then hurry up and say it, don't talk about it, I'm very curious now!!!" Robert said impatiently!

"It's like this, just before you came, I received a call from Harrison, CEO of Silicon Valley Electronics Group!"

"Oh, God!!! The Silicon Valley Electronics Group is willing to invest in us!!!" Robert said with a look of surprise, "I thought they rejected us, but I didn't expect... You are right, Jeff Hawkins , this is enough to shock me!!!"

"Please. Robert, I was interrupted by you before I finished speaking, you are so impatient!" Jeff Hawkins shook his head, and then continued: "Harrison seemed to have rejected us, but he was While chatting with Henry Williams, he casually said something about our company. Then Henry Williams decided to invest in us!"

"You...Are you saying that Henry Williams, the richest man in the world, wants to invest in our company?" Robert's face was shocked, and he couldn't even speak coherently.

"Yes! Mr. Harrison told me on the phone to meet Mr. Henry Williams tomorrow morning at the Silicon Valley Electronics Group headquarters at 9:00!"

"Oh Jeff Hawkins, take me with you tomorrow, I want to meet Henry Williams too! You know, a big guy like Henry Williams wants to see him!! What? So, Jeff Hawkins, take me with you? Henry Williams has always been my idol, you know that!!!"

"Okay, then I'll take you there! However, I have to remind you first, don't talk nonsense at that time!"

"Don't worry, don't talk nonsense!!!!" Robert assured.

...

...

Early the next morning, Jeff Hawkins and Robert went to Silicon Valley Electronics Group together.

After coming to the company, I first met Harrison.

Harrison said to them: "You two wait in the hall for a while, Mr. Henry Williams is in the office to meet other guests!"

Jeff Hawkins laughed: "It's okay, then we'll just wait here for a while!"

Harrison nodded and ordered the staff to pour them a glass of water each.

"After Williams talks about things first, he will let you go to his office! I still have some company affairs to deal with, so I won't accompany you!"

"If you please, Mr. Harrison, we'll just wait here by ourselves!" said Jeff Hawkins.

"Well..." Harrison nodded and left!

After Harrison left, only Jeff Hawkins and Robert were left in the huge hall.

After sitting for a while, I felt very bored, and Robert said curiously: "Jeff Hawkins, you say, who is Mr. Henry Williams meeting?"

"How do I know this, but I think the person he is going to meet must be a very famous person!" Jeff Hawkins replied.

"Oh, yes..." Robert smiled and said.

Jeff Hawkins then picked up the water glass and drank the water in one gulp, then lit a cigarette. At this moment, he felt a little nervous in his heart. He was going to see investors later. He didn't know how much Henry Williams would invest and how much equity he would get...

Fifteen minutes later, a female secretary came over and informed Jeff Hawkins: "Jeff Hawkins and Mr. Robert, Mr. Williams has finished meeting the other guests, and he asked me to call the two to his office. Go. Please come with me!"

"Okay!!!" Both of them responded and immediately followed behind the female secretary.

The female secretary said as she walked, "The innermost office is Mr. Henry Williams' office!!"

At this moment, the door opened and a young man came out.

"Hello, Mr. Tian!" The female secretary greeted him quickly when she saw him.

Tian Shuai nodded slightly, then looked at Jeff Hawkins and Robert, and said with a smile, "You two are from Palm Computing?"

"Yes, Mr. Tian! I am the founder of the company, Jeff Hawkins, and he is my partner Robert!" The man in front of him, Jeff Hawkins knows him very well. He is the CEO of ICQ, Tian Shuai! His fortune history makes people talk about it with relish. It is said that he developed instant chat software. At first, almost no one took a fancy to his software, until he met Henry Williams, got his investment, and established the company. Since then Soar! Today, ICQ's market value is in the tens of billions of dollars, and Tian Shuai is already a super-rich billionaire at a young age! ! !

If there is no investment from Henry Williams, perhaps this young man is just studying in college, or he is a small employee in a company!

Seeing him, Jeff Hawkins couldn't help but think of himself... Maybe, he is the next "Tian Shuai"? !
