Now, Google's market value has hit rock bottom. The technology giant that was nearly over 200 billion U.S. dollars half a year ago is now about to fall below 100 billion U.S. dollars.

As you can imagine, Google is very anxious.

In fact, Google implements AB shares. Google management does not need to care about the opinions of capital at all. No matter how the stock price falls, it will not affect the control rights.

But this won't work.

The larger the company, the more responsibilities it has to bear.

Silicon Valley is successful mainly for two reasons.

First, this is the science and technology industrial park of Stanford University, where there are talented people.

Second, there are many "angels" who are willing to take huge risks and spend money to help young entrepreneurs realize their dreams.

In other words, Silicon Valley must maintain a good relationship with universities, constantly donate money and materials to universities, donate projects, and please venture capital.

If the dispute gets too serious and venture capital stops coming to Silicon Valley, it will be over.

If they want capital to come in enthusiastically, they have to stabilize the stock price and let them make money. A lot of capital has pledged stocks, and if they fall too hard, they will be forcibly taken away by the bank.

At the beginning, Google was quite resistant to capital. As Google gradually grew bigger, it gradually integrated into this large system of "capital technology".

The stock price has plummeted, and the top priority is to quickly boost the stock price so that it cannot fall any further.

This is true for Microsoft, and so is Google.

There is two pieces of good news that can help.

First, the world's first mobile phone equipped with Android system will be on sale in the United States at the end of this month, and young people are looking forward to it. Second, it is the mobile advertising platform admob.

Boss Zhou finally showed up and accepted the deal.

We started talking about it in June.

Finally the deal was done.

The transaction price was US$720 million!

According to the current Google stock price of US$352, a total of 2.06 million shares were taken out. Ziweixing obtained 30% of them, a total of 620,000 shares, and the lifting period was 24 months; Zhen Yu obtained 10% of them, a total of 21

10,000 shares, the lifting period is three batches, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months.

"It took several months of back and forth to get such a small amount of stock, and it was not troublesome enough."

Zhou Buqi obviously looked down upon this kind of small business.

Zhen Yu rolled her eyes at him, "Yeah, yeah, you are the richest man!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Senior Sister Zhen, I really didn't mean to say nice things. I really wanted you to take advantage of this wave of bargain hunting to get more stocks, otherwise I really don't care."

Zhen Yu pulled her hair around her ears and said, "Okay, Boss Zhou, how do you want me to thank you?"

"Ahem..."

Zhou Buqi quickly retreated.

This senior sister is already dating a boyfriend.

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Every time I come to Silicon Valley, I always stay in a hotel. Should I give you a house?"

"Don't mention it!" Zhou Buqi waved his hand and got a little angry when he mentioned this. "The last time I invested in the financial market, I helped the capitalist earn more than 2 billion US dollars in commissions. In order to thank me, he said it was in New York

I bought a two-story luxury apartment next to Central Park and wanted to give it to me."

"What's the problem?"

"It's a big problem! I called the other day and found out that just to pay taxes, I have to pay more than 30 million US dollars. Stop talking nonsense, I might as well not take it. It's such a huge favor."

“Gift tax?”

"right."

Zhen Yu studied in the United States and worked for several years. She is obviously very knowledgeable. She said with a smile: "Set up a charity fund and ask him to donate his house to the charity fund."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said cautiously: "Let's talk about it in a few decades. This wave of wool-gathering is too harsh and there is no way to walk on a tightrope. I am not short of money. I should pay taxes. I can only give more. I can't."

Give less.”

Zhen Yu glanced at him and said, "Then do you want to buy a house?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Buy it, I will go to see the house tomorrow, the agent has been found. Houses are easy to buy now, and there are big sales everywhere. How about I buy two sets and then lend you one permanently?

?”

"So generous?"

"A must!"

"Why should I ask you to buy it?" Zhen Yu rolled her eyes at him, "I have money, so I can buy it myself."

…

Silicon Valley includes many urban areas, the most luxurious of which is Atherton. The bosses of Microsoft, HP, Google and other companies live here.

Because many super rich people live here, it has become the safest area.

House prices are very high.

Not much cheaper than many areas in Los Angeles.

The next day, Zhen Yu went to admob company to continue handling the merger and acquisition case, while Zhou Buqi took two secretaries, Sun Wanran and Feng Muer, to look at the house together.

First I looked at a white single-family villa on Atherton Street, which was very luxurious.

The agent's quote is $6.5 million.

The overall structure is very impressive, much better than the house Zhou Buqi lived in in the country.

As soon as she walked in, Sun Wanran couldn't help but hugged Zhou Buqi's arm, with unconcealable excitement and joy in her eyes.

The design and decoration are among the best in the world. There are also several oil paintings hanging on the walls, not prints, but original paintings. Every detail is full of luxury.

Unlike in China, people with money don’t dare to live too luxuriously.

"Let's go on and watch!"

Zhou Buqi looked at it briefly and then withdrew.

Sun Wanran whispered: "This is good!"

Zhou Buqi glared at her, "I don't know!"

Sun Wanran curled her lips and muttered a few words in a low voice. However, she had to admit that if she hadn't gotten along with this junior high school classmate, she might never have had the chance to see a mansion of this level, let alone have the chance to live in it.

.

Next, we went to another mansion on Atherton Street, which was even more grand than the one before. There were two huge palm trees planted next to the driveway, which looked noble and solemn. It felt more beautiful than the White House.

When you go in, you will see gorgeous chandeliers, luxurious kitchens, saunas, swimming pools and an outdoor tennis court...

The sale price reached US$10 million.

However, since it is a mansion on the street, the swimming pools are all indoors.

Zhou Buqi felt that a house of this level was not worthy of his status. He had already gone abroad, so there was no need to live in a low-key ordinary house. He should enjoy himself and asked: "Where does Paul Allen live?"

The agent was a woman named Mary in her 40s. She was slightly taken aback and said seriously: "Sir, you are questioning my professional ethics."

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, then became amused and said, "I just went over to see what kind of house he lives in."

"This is not appropriate unless you can get Mr. Allen's authorization."

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but want to scold her.

What a stupid idea!

Brother is accompanied by two honeys and two white bodyguards. How can his identity be different?

Zhou Buqi didn't have any friendship with Paul Allen, so he settled for the next best thing, "Then you should have a mansion on the same level as Paul Allen's house, right?"

"have!"

This time, Mary was very happy.

She really misunderstood and had a bit of an empiricist mindset.

She is the top real estate agent of her generation. She has seen too many people from China buying luxury houses for women here. Over time, "second wife villages", "third wife villages", and "four wife villages" have formed.

"Milk Village". Those women do nothing every day and are picked up and dropped off by luxury cars. They are rich.

I thought this young guy with two young girls by his side was the same.

Apparently, he is super rich!

It can be seen from his aura that he is not the kind of person who just doesn't want to buy.

Then, I got in the car and took a detour.

Went to the suburbs.

Seven crutches and eight crutches, ho!
