It is a foregone conclusion that it has begun to expand shares and raise funds at this stage.

In this case, as the largest individual shareholder of ICQ, Zhu Ke will no longer object, but just hopes to strive for the greatest benefit for himself in the next process of "sucking allies and expanding development".

"Actually, I just want to be a shareholder safely and wait for dividends honestly. But now others are not happy, this is forcing me to do it~!"

This is what Zhuke planned at the beginning.

Isn’t it good to make good fortune by being kind?

But sometimes this kind of thinking is too naive!

If you don’t want to fight, others will fight you too!

To be honest, Zhu Ke felt it was very difficult to start a business and grow the company from scratch.

Just the number of companies he has mastered is already a headache. For this reason, Zhu Ke spent a lot of time studying management knowledge.

Recharging yourself has become an indispensable part of Zucker's life.

Well, the time traveler is awesome, that's right, but it's not a omnipotent person!

It is impossible to know everything, and it is proficient in everything.

Even those awesome time travelers who take over the market value of 100 billion yuan at the beginning of the time travel, if they do not have the corresponding ability, they will only be swallowed by the jackals and tigers and leopards fed around them and divided up. Well, there is no second result!

Children carry gold through the bustling market, which is the way to die!

9:00 a.m.

There are less than 30 minutes left before the official expansion meeting of icq.

The founding teams such as Weisger and Wady, together with Zhuke, held an internal meeting first.

"Wesger, you are the CEO of the company. Since you and everyone have decided to start expanding shares and raising funds, I won't say more, but... I want to hear what do you like for the upcoming representatives of all parties? Or, which investment banks and companies do you think are beneficial to our ICQ development."

Zhuke said first.

"My friend, I'm very happy that you can agree to the stock expansion." Weisger said very happily.

Zhuke shook his head and smiled, "My friends, I never seem to oppose the company's behavior of expanding shares and raising allies to promote development. My original attitude was to stabilize for a period of time and then expand the shares."

The smart Wisger immediately looked happy.

He knew that Zucker had made concessions.

Wady, who was standing by, replied: "Wesger, please speak quickly. Mr. Wald's words are also the issue we need to consider."

Choosing the right allies will inevitably play a decisive role in the future development of IQ.

Pig teammate, but I can't afford to hurt!

"Ahem cough ~"

Weisger cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Our primary target for financing and expansion of stocks must be Microsoft, or it can only be it!"

"After all, Microsoft is the overlord of the computer system software industry. Once they invest in the real-time communication field, we will definitely not be able to beat it, so we have to pull it into the market."

"As long as it is pulled in, it will further dispel their idea of ​​developing instant messaging software. Of course, even if it still enters the realm of instant messaging in the later stage, it will give us enough time to develop."

After the words came, everyone nodded.

Zhu Ke also agreed with this.

Microsoft was not only the overlord of system software in the 1990s, but also a famous rogue software!

Netscape is awesome.

In the 1990s, Netscape was the first Internet company to go public and try its best. Its market value was nearly 10 billion US dollars at its peak. In the atmosphere around the world, countless people entered the Internet through Netscape browser every day.

Its huge number of users has made countless people optimistic about the future development of Netscape.

For a moment, the limelight was unparalleled.

However, Microsoft is jealous!

It is attracted by this fat piece of the browser market.

Well, Microsoft's IE browser will be online.

With its advantage as the dominant leader in the field of computer system software, Microsoft has allowed Internet users to force their IE browser to be installed when installing and updating computer system software, and is set as the default browser without the user's knowledge.

Therefore, in a very short time, there are enough users to compete with Netscape browsers.

During the whole year of 1997, Netscape and Microsoft launched a browser war, from the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched to being pressed on the ground by Microsoft, which took less than a year.

You can't accept this hooligan behavior!

Icq is awesome enough.

The world's first instant messaging software, and has hundreds of millions of registered users around the world, made the United States Online pay 408 million US dollars to acquire it in 1998.

But.

Microsoft is jealous again!

It launched MSN chat in early 1999.

Rogue pre-installation, forced installation and updates, and other means, take action again.

In a very short period of time, the process of "browser war" was copied again, causing IQ to fall to the mortal world in one fell swoop.

Therefore, for IQ's first A-round stock expansion, Zhuke has a positive attitude towards attracting Microsoft to enter.

.........

After seven days.

Icq has held negotiations on Series A financing with representatives from major companies and investment banks around the world.

In the end, representatives of five companies ended up laughing.

In their Series A financing of icq, they divided up 30% of icq equity with an estimated market value of US$200 million.

As the overlord of the computer system software industry, Microsoft accounts for 10% of the total;

Goldman Sachs, a giant in the investment banking field in Wall Street, won 5%;

News Corp., the parent company of 20th Century Fox, has a media channel advantage worldwide, accounting for 5%.

Sequoia Capital, which has a huge advantage in small island countries, accounts for 5%;

Brand computer HP, share the last 5%;

In the end, the founding teams such as Weisger, together with Zhuke, still owned 70% of the shares, and still occupied the absolute controlling stake in IQ Company.

Well, although there was a conflict between Zhuke and Weisger and others during the A round of stock expansion, the fundamental interests of foreign giants are still the same. After all, if they do not join forces, they will only be swallowed up by the big companies.

Therefore, both sides are still one-sided.

Of course, although Zhu Ke also followed up in the A-round share expansion, his shares were inevitably diluted.

35%!

This is Zucker's current stake.

Although the shares were diluted, Zucker still made a big profit!

The net worth surges!

According to the estimated market value of US$200 million given by Morgan Investment Bank, Zucker's current shares are worth US$70 million!

Compared to the investment of less than 2 million US dollars before, it only took half a year. How could Zhuke not make money?

In fact, it has to be said that because of Zhuke's intervention, the development of IQ in this life is much better than in the previous life.

The A round of financing initiated by IQ not only allowed the company to obtain US$60 million in development funds, but also attracted a group of powerful allies with strong influence around the world.

All of the above can enable the development of icq company to enter the fast lane!

As for those instant messaging companies that have reacted and want to follow the trend, they are expected to be able to make a fuck in the future.

The founding teams such as Weisger and Wadi were very excited.

They began to plan future development strategies to further expand IQ.

As for Zhuke, what he now wants is to mortgage a part of the shares and borrow money from the bank to create his own Internet company.
Chapter completed!
