Chapter 11: The Hype of Gifted Children

"Let's go, I'm inviting you to dinner!" Hugo stood up and said.

"No, no! Maybe we can order some pizza and talk while we eat! Brin said, the two of them are really technical experts, Hugo knows a lot of things, and there are enlightening instructions for them, and Brin obviously wants to hear more about Hugo's opinion.

That's what Paige means, of course!

Hugo had no choice but to agree to their request, ordered takeout, and the three of them continued to chat!

The meeting didn't end until 4 p.m., and the investment agreement was signed, and Page and Brin had changed their minds about the investment from the founder of Sun Microsystems, and now they wanted to get Hugo's financial and technical support.

They agreed on the agreement to let Hugo join them as a co-founder instead of an investor, which Hugo will not refuse, and even said that I have no problem becoming the founder, so that the principal of the shares will be converted, except for the investment of the founder, we will divide the remaining shares equally, and I will personally contribute 5 million US dollars!

That's a pretty big upfront investment, but does the company actually need that much?! No, but now the investment of 100,000 US dollars in Sun Microsystems has come in, if the investment is too small, the company's registered capital is too small, this company will occupy a large share in Google, and Hugo is like using a capital increase, anyway, it is now a private company, which can completely dilute the capital investment of Sun Microsystems, so that they can occupy a small share, and Hugo and their three co-founders can occupy the majority.

Now Page and Brin are still a little immature in business, but they won't fail to understand this truth, and Hugo said that the three of them will share the remaining shares equally, and these two people are naturally the ones who take advantage, they are not stupid, of course, they are 200% in favor of this plan!

With such a large amount of money, these two people never thought about it before, if it was normal, it would be impossible for them to get so many shares with technology and capital shares, and now Hugo did not hesitate to say that the three of them were divided equally, and the two who had a little conscience were still a little embarrassed, Page and Brin immediately said that they would work hard to borrow money and further expand the shares of the three!

They have been stunned by Hugo's ecstasy soup, thinking that Hugo admires them very much so they don't mind doing this, but in fact, Hugo is really embarrassed, taking advantage of others, you have to give some benefits!

After the agreement was signed, Hugo inadvertently said that he was a member of the Mensa Club, and he inadvertently revealed this to tell Page and Brin that his brother is a highly intelligent person, and it is normal to have two brushes.

I can't explain why Hugo is so powerful, Page and Brin really came to their senses, and sighed that the genius child is probably Mr. Coleni, right?!

At the time, it was interesting that Page really went to the Mensa Club to verify, and sure enough, he knew that Hugo joined the Mensa Club when he was very young, and his IQ was very high!

Originally, in another world, Google was founded on September 4, 98, but now because of the arrival of Hugo, Page and Brin quickly solved the financial problem and completed the establishment on August 23.

The registered capital of the company is 6 million US dollars, Zhang Yuan invested 5 million US dollars, the founder of Sun Microsystems invested 100,000 US dollars, and Page and Brindong borrowed 900,000 US dollars.

As a result, the founder only held 1.67% of the shares, while Hugo held 33%, Page and Brin each held 32.665%, and Hugo became the largest shareholder! It is said that the founder was so angry that he vomited blood afterwards!

Hugo laughed after hearing this, haha, this birdman is not at ease at all, in fact, many profiteers in the United States, knowing that the prospects of this project are very good, they estimated the initial capital, and then the small investment accounted for a large proportion, so as to squeeze the researchers' efforts!

Now it is considered to be a rebel army by Hugo's foresight, and 10% of the shares are very different from 1.67%!

Hugo came to the United States with all the hard work, there is no other purpose is to make money, when he set up an investment company before, he applied for investment immigration, the purpose is also for convenience!

Now that the company has been established, he originally wanted to pick and choose to leave and concentrate on another project, but he was persuaded by Page and Brin to be the CEO of the company at ease!

"I'm the CEO, is there a mistake?! Two big brothers! I'm not good at management! Hugo refused, just kidding, Lao Tzu's original idea was to occupy the shares, and when you are developed and listed in the future, you will make money, and now I am tired of making money as a CEO, am I crazy?!

Where do Paige and Brin believe, anyway, I usually listen to Hugo bragging, and the performance of genius children, no matter how you look at it, they are the most suitable candidates!

Hugo was persuaded by the two of them, and finally said okay, brother, I will do it first, first of all, I declare that my main job is to study, and the CEO is the deputy!

With a generous capital of 6 million, Hugo and his Google company rented office space in Silicon Valley as the company's headquarters, and then hired about 20 people, uh, mostly technicians!

The company has few people, and it is very uneconomical to hire professional managers, so the company's position is basically three people at the same time, Hugo is not willing to do technology development work, he can provide suggestions and opinions in this regard, but he doesn't want to live the life of a program ape, being a CEO is the most suitable for him, the CEO is not in charge of the overall work among the three of them at this time, what to do, lead the marketing department to promote patent applications and other miscellaneous things!

Page and Brin got a lot of new advice from Hugo, decided to upgrade Google's search engine, were too busy with technical research, and had no time to manage the company's "big logistics" work.

Hugo also knew the fundamental intentions of these two technology experts, so after accepting the position of CEO, he began the two most important jobs, about patent applications, before Page and Brin also did work, joking, piracy in China is unimaginable, but in Europe and the United States, everyone attaches great importance to patent rights, as a newly established technology company, patent application can be described as a very important work.

Hugo does not understand the process of patent application, but he knows the importance of this work, in the past life about the patent lawsuits are flying all over the sky, and now the new company should pay special attention to the patent, if you don't get sued by other companies one day, it is not impossible for you to go bankrupt.

Hugo can only learn and do this as soon as possible, and on the other hand, the job is to promote, in fact, Google has some fame in universities around San Francisco, but this is certainly not enough.

Hugo will learn from some of the practices of later generations, first of all, he made two informal slogans for Google: "Make the Internet simple!" "Don't do evil!" Then he also received an admission letter from Stanford University, and he began to direct the marketing department to hype up the news that he had become the CEO of Google at the age of 18, which was hype to put it bluntly!

It's just started in September, and this guy's attitude is still very good, he wants to go to school, hype, how can he not show up?! It caused a big sensation in a short period of time at Stanford University, and it is not for nothing that he became president at the age of 18, but Google's capital is not small, at least for college students, it is difficult not to make a sensation!

Then it also caused a great response in the universities around San Francisco, and then in the American university alliance, which continued to spread, and Google's fame finally began, and under the guidance of Hugo, Page and Brin's technical work also made breakthroughs, and Google search brought a better experience.

After Hugo got the benefits, he was no longer active in class, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, saying that he was not so interested in learning things, and then he would do these things, why did he run so diligently, if there is homework every week for roommates to help, bring it back, and then bring it back to the teacher after it is done!

His roommate happened to be an Italian-American, from New York on the East Coast, named Simon. Barbani, who has an okay relationship with him, gives this roommate $10 a week, and it's as simple as helping him with his homework.

Simon admires Hugo's ability to hand in his homework quickly every time, people are really angry compared to people, how did he know that Hugo had already learned, how could he not do it?! Genius also needs to be learned, and if you don't learn genius, you will become a waste of firewood.

During the early days of Google, he was also tossed a lot, he still had a lot of money, but he didn't have time to do anything else, as for the investment company he established, he is still alone, and he doesn't have any employees, only Google's business, but since he became a co-founder, Google has nothing to do with that investment company!

Hugo had no choice but to dissolve the company and invest all the rest of the money in Apple!

Apple ran on Microsoft a few years ago, fell into a low ebb, last year Jobs returned, but now Apple is still not improving, but hehe, Hugo knows that Apple will soon be able to turn over, as for the future, Apple will be even more bullish, so he did not hesitate to invest all his money in Apple, hoarding a large number of Apple shares.

When trying to make money, Hugo did not forget football, since the World Cup, Hugo inevitably developed a strong interest in football, he now likes to watch football, watch the news, watch the video!

Victor, who is far away in Italy, will also contact him on the phone from time to time, Victor is an out-and-out Milan fan, he has been in love with Milan since the days of the Three Musketeers, and every time he chats with Hugo when he talks about the new season's games, his eyebrows flutter and gush, and Hugo now likes to join in such discussions.

One day in winter, Victor's transatlantic call came again.

"Hugo, there's something I want to ask you, are you interested?!" Victor said in a rambling voice.

"What's the matter?! You're not trying to scam me out of money, are you?! "Hugo knows very well that this cousin of his own, I'm afraid that he has nothing to do but pay for it, and now he has nothing to do with Victor to beg him!

"Uh..., no! Belch... To be exact! Victor sighed for a long time before he finally spoke, "That's right, you know what I'm capable of, let's just say in Trapani!" I, Victor, am a man who stands up to the sky, and I am also a figure who can run a horse on my shoulders! ”
