Qin Shou is actually very interested in Facebook, and wants to invest. But the problem is that it is now 2008. At this time, Facebook has become a unicorn company with super high value, and countless investment institutions across the United States are paying attention to Mark Zuckerberg and his Facebook. Qin Shou leaned over at this time, probably not even able to drink the soup. But Twitter is different. This is a website that has just been established for less than two years and has changed managers twice. even. If Qin Shou remembers correctly, so far, Twitter has not found the right path for the company's development. But it doesn't matter. The outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis will bring opportunities for the development of Twitter.
After all, the entire American economy will collapse at that time, and people will want to express their emotions, and Twitter, a software that can post up to a hundred words and emoticons at a time, just meets this requirement. certainly. Qin Shou will definitely not say it, he still plans to make money from the Americans. It didn't take long for Jack Dorsey, the current president of Twitter, to appear at the company's door. "Hi, I'm Jack Dorsey." Jack Dorsey looks a bit of a tech geek in casual attire. "Hi, I'm Qin, from the East." Qin Shou shook hands with Jack Dorsey and spoke in English. Jack Dorsey was a little strange, a little inexplicable about the identity of this group of people. But half an hour later. Jack Dorsey was dumbfounded. This moment. They were sitting in the Twitter meeting room, and Qin Shou was looking at Jack Dorsey with a smile on his face. "Qin, are you kidding me?" Jack Dorsey asked in surprise, "You want to buy Twitter?" "Yes." Qin Shou nodded: "I am very optimistic about the development of Twitter, and I am willing to pay 100 million US dollars to buy Twitter." "no!" Jack Dorsey shook his head directly and rejected Qin Shou's proposal: "I will not sell this company, and neither will my friends."
Twitter was founded by him and two other friends. Before that, the company had received 20 million US dollars in venture capital, but it was almost spent. Qin Shou frowned, looking a little helpless, and finally said: "Then how about this one hundred million US dollars, I will invest in it as a share?" Share? Jack Dorsey raised his eyebrows. Qin Shou said lightly: "100 million US dollars, 40% of the shares, if possible, the money can be transferred to the company's account today." If he remembers correctly, Wall Street's valuation of Twitter will be about 200 million . dollars in the near future. Now I use 100 million US dollars to buy 40% of the shares, I believe the founders should not refuse. As for how much it will be diluted in the future, Qin Shou doesn't care. He himself does not intend to become a major shareholder of Twitter. What a joke! This is the country of the United States. If I really become a major shareholder of Twitter, I guess this company will have to be patronized by the FBI every now and then. Moreover. Qin Shou also didn't want to be treated like a leek by the Americans. Just make a few hundred million dollars quietly. On Jack Dorsey's side, after hearing Qin Shou's words, he was a little confused. He didn't expect this mysterious rich man from the east to be so rich. Is it another Sun Zhengyi? After all, the story of Softbank investing in Yahoo was well-known in Silicon Valley. Nobody wants to be the next Yahoo. Jack Dorsey and his friends also have dreams. "Qin, I think our meeting can come to an end today." After a long time, Jack Dorsey looked at Qin Shou and said, "I need to talk to my partner about this matter." Qin Shou smiled slightly: "No problem, I will stay in the United States for three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." finished. He got up and said goodbye. …………………… After leaving Silicon Valley, Qin Shou returned to San Francisco. Along the way, he just silently calculated how long it would take Jack Dorsey to convince his collaborators.
After all, Twitter at this time is really short of money. and, They want to catch up with the footsteps of Facebook, and they also need financial support. After returning to the hotel, Qin Shou looked at Liu Zhong: "Uncle Liu, I plan to hire a team of accountants and lawyers in the United States, what do you think?" Hearing Qin Shou's words, Liu Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll make arrangements now." "No, let James help." Qin Shou said indifferently: "If you take my one million, you must do something."
