You don't understand the happiness of the director

YouTube is located in San Bruno, San Francisco, close to the San Francisco International Airport. The company sent someone to pick them up after they walked out of the airport.

The company is not that big. Even if it is now the first in its category, it only has a few dozen employees.

Chen Shijun, who was not yet 30 years old, went downstairs to greet Wang Quan and Wendy in person, with a beaming smile on his face.

"King, I'm just waiting for your signature!"

Wendy's eyes lit up, "All contracts haven't come into effect yet?"

Wang Quan glanced at her and said, "Wendy, this matter has become a foregone conclusion."

On the plane, when she learned that Wang Quan was a shareholder of YouTube, Wendy scolded the three founders for their incompetence and inadequacy, "They sold it for just over a billion. Is there any future? The future value of this website will be at least a few hundred." 100 million!"

Such a good project should be sustained, should attract financing, and become bigger and stronger. Wendy thinks this is an absolute cheap sale.

She had also learned some data about YouTube before. In just 20 months after its establishment, the website already had 40 million short videos and attracted 6 million views every day. It surpassed a number of competitors with strong backgrounds and became the most viewed website in this century. It's a shame to sell it like this.

Wang Quan doesn't think so. Now that he has the money, he can do more, and there are more and better projects waiting for him. Of course, he doesn't have the leisure and the professional ability. His expertise is To make a movie, he entrusted the money to Wendy, who was only responsible for directing behind the scenes.

And if it doesn’t sell, who knows if this website can be built in the end, or it might just die on the way.

Even if he can survive, with the ABC round of financing, he still has no idea how many shares he will have.

Chen Shijun also expressed the difficulty. If it does not sell, the company will have a lot of copyright risks. But as long as it sells to Google, they will take over Universal Music, Sony BMG, Warner Music, CBS and other companies and get their content. Licensing Agreement.

And with Google's backing, it can also help YouTube go global.

Wendy heard it, and it seemed that the Chinese founder planned to stay in the company.

In fact, not only him, but also the other founder Chad Holly also plans to stay at YouTube. Only Judd Kalim wants to get the money to complete his master's degree and then become a university teacher or something, so he plans to Exited.

Then they met with Chad Hurley and Judd Kalim. The founders gathered together, and Wendy asked what the deal would be, pure cash or shares of Google.

Judd Karim, "This is a casual choice. I want more cash and a small amount of Google stock."

Chen Shijun and Chad obviously chose more Google shares and a small amount of cash.

After Wang Quan and Wendy looked at each other, Wendy asked, "Is there a holding period for these shares?"

Chen Shijun shook his head, "There is a time limit for Chad and I, but if you don't plan to join Google, you can take action at any time."

Then Wang Quan said, "Then if you don't mind, exchange them all for Google shares of equal value."

So he theoretically received 44,404 shares of Google stock, worth 214.5 million.

Then a representative from Google also came, and Wang Quan signed the contract quickly. The other party held Wang Quan's hand and said, "I never expected that the fourth shareholder of YouTube is actually the director David King. I like your "Cloverfield Lane" very much. "No. 10", my son prefers "Escape Room", and now he has collected nine Luban Locks."

"Thank you, father and son, for your love."

"Thank you for your opinion of Google."

Wang Quan, "Of course, I believe Google will become the top company in the world."

Of course, if I need money, I won’t hesitate to sell it. Let’s leave it alone for now. Anyway, this company should always be on a growth trend. More than ten years later, the search used in American TV series and movies will still be Google. , indicating that the position is very strong.

"Can I take a photo with you? As a movie fan."

"Oh, of course, it would be an honor."

Wang Quan took a photo with Google representatives and then with the three founders.

However, in the photos released to the public, Wang Quan stepped back and let Wendy take a photo on his behalf. He didn't want to be too high-profile yet.

Things went smoothly. I could have gone back to Los Angeles today, but I couldn't resist the warm invitation of Chen Shijun and others, so Wang Quan stayed one night, had a breakup dinner, and talked about the future pattern of the Internet.

Chen Shijun has always admired Wang Quan's vision. At the beginning of his business, Wang Quan provided the company with many constructive suggestions and helped them avoid many detours.

If given the chance, Chen Shijun hopes to work with Wang Quan again, but unfortunately his ambition is not on the Internet. He is a believer in movies.

When only Wang Quan and Wendy were left, Wendy asked, "What's next? Google's stocks are a good investment product. If these stocks are not sold, it seems that I have nothing else to do. "

Wang Quan smiled and said, "Wendy, it's not like I only have 200 million dollars in stocks."

Wendy's eyes widened, "Is there more?!"

At the airport the next day, Wang Quan met an old friend.

"Director Wang, here!"

Wang Quan sat in front of Feng Tianming. When he was in Los Angeles, he invited Feng Tianming to attend the premiere of "Escape Room" and wanted him to see the opening animation he had made. However, he said that he had changed jobs again. At this time, he was there San Francisco.

To be precise, he was promoted again at George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. This time, the company and his position in the company were fully upgraded, and he was already considered a middle-level backbone.

"Now the team I lead is responsible for the "Transformers" project. I can be sure that this movie will definitely make people excited when it comes out!"

Wang Quan, "Let's not talk about the passionate thing. Why did I change my job again this time and even went to San Francisco?"

Feng Tianming smiled sweetly, "My girlfriend has graduated and is looking for a job in San Francisco. Of course I want a married woman to live with my husband. Wherever she is, that's home."

Wang Quan thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that you will definitely return to China in the future? You are the only child in the family, and you are the only parent and grandparent."

Speaking of this, Feng Tianming's smile disappeared and he sighed, "I have been discussing with her, and she understood my difficulties, so she took a step back. She said that she should first accumulate work experience in the United States, so that when she returns to China in the future It will be easier to develop, so I will stay with her for another two years."

Wang Quan originally wanted to say that the domestic film and television special effects industry was in the pioneering stage. With your strength, Old Feng, you would have more development after returning to China, and you would also provide assistance.

But since he is a passionate person, Wang Quan said nothing and wished him happiness.

On the plane back to Los Angeles, Wendy had already made early plans for the future, "First we need to establish a financial investment company."

"good."

“We still need to recruit people, but we don’t need many.”

"good."

"Don't let Dorothy know yet."

"good"

Wang Quan responded with his eyes closed. He had been spinning for nearly a month after the movie was released, and he was still a little tired.

"Wait~" Wang Quan opened his eyes, "Why can't she know?"

Wendy smiled mysteriously, "Don't you think it's exciting for us to secretly start a business behind Dorothy's back?"

Wang Quan thought for a moment and compared it to inviting Liu Xiaoli to star in his own movie without telling Liu Yifei. Hey, that's really exciting!

He couldn't help but laugh, "Then if Taozi finds out in the future, she will definitely eat me."

Wendy waved her hands indifferently, "Let her eat."

Suddenly, Wang Quan's ears turned red, and he scratched his ears, "Okay, let's hide it from her first."

Back in Los Angeles, Wang Quan went through the business procedures with Wendy again, and also brought his personal lawyer Wang Zuze with him. They were not related, and there were too many people named Wang.

Lawyer Wang is from Wanwan. He was young and frivolous. He used to hang out in clubs, but later he changed his mind, went abroad, and took the exam for a lawyer's license.

Wang Quan saw his small advertisement while eating in a Chinese restaurant, and then approached him. We have been working with him for nearly two years and he is still very trustworthy.

After a busy day, Wang Quan returned to 1025. He had just taken a shower when Dorothy broke in and said, "Something happened, something big happened!"

"What's wrong?" Wang Quan wrapped himself in a bath towel calmly.

Dorothy held up a copy of the Los Angeles Times, "Look at the photo above, is this Wendy!?"

After Wang Quan took over, he looked at it carefully, "It doesn't look like it~"

"Why doesn't it look like this? This is her usual dressing style. I can still admit that my mother is wrong! But when did she become the founder of YouTube!"

"It seems she created a huge surprise behind your back."

Dorothy looked suddenly enlightened, "No wonder YouTube supports our movies so much. No wonder netizens say YouTube is run by my family. It turns out it is really run by my family! I used to always feel that I was rich. Third generation, it turns out I am the second generation of rich people!”

The fewer generations, the greater the feeling of pleasure. Now Dorothy is looking forward to the success of her business and becoming a rich generation!

Wang Quan said calmly, "Could it be your grandpa's bank that provided them with funds?"

"Impossible. If there is such a thing, it's impossible for Hussein not to know about it. He is the eldest grandson of the Greenberg family." Dorothy touched her chin, "I guess Wendy must have used her own small treasury to I invested in YouTube, which had yet to take off, and I didn’t expect to bet on something right away!”

Wang Quan, "Well, maybe~"

Dorothy, "Look, of the 1.65 billion dollars, Wendy can still get 100 million dollars, right?"

Royal power, "probably more than that."

Dorothy thought happily, "Based on the minimum, it's 100 million dollars. If all of them vote for us, Long Tiendou..."

Wang Quan smiled, "Then we will stand aside."

Dorothy waved her hand, "No, Paramount was willing to spend 200 million dollars to buy us. Now "Escape Room" has exploded at the box office, "Juno" is also getting ready to fly again, and "Twilight" is about to launch. "City of Light", the company's valuation can be doubled several times, otherwise, how about letting her invest 100 million and we give her 15% of the shares."

Wang Quan, "Okay, you can talk to her, I'm going to bed."

He changed into pajamas and prepared to rest. Dorothy called him directly at home, and soon she ran to the king's bed. "She admitted that the person in the photo was her, and it had nothing to do with the Greenberg family, but she was selling the website. She exchanged all the money for Google shares, and said she can’t move it now, but I estimate it’s more than 100 million!”

Wang Quan, "Then there is nothing we can do. We can only work hard ourselves."

Dorothy sighed, "Well, by the way, you are going to Neon. Before you leave, why don't you meet the heroine of "Twilight"? You haven't even met her in person yet."

Wang Quan, "As long as you have seen it, I believe in your vision."

The heroine was Kristen Stewart. Wang Quan felt that she did a good job in the film and her looks were pretty good. Wang Quan found her much more pleasing to his eyes than the male protagonist with her cute face, so the male protagonist It's not finalized yet.

When the original author, Stephenie Meyer, imagined the vampire Howard, he was actually Henry Cavill, who debuted in 2001.

This face is very handsome, and he is very tall, just like Wang Quan, 185.

However, Henry was still young when the novel was written. Now he is 23 years old. It is a bit difficult to play a high school student and a couple with the 16-year-old Christine. In a few years, he will be able to play Superman.

After sending Dorothy away, Wang Quan took the time to rest as he had important things to do tomorrow.

Rafi's house.

Wang Quan and Lily have arrived, and today is the day to send the baby to an adoptive family.

Julie only asked them to send it. Rafi and Anne were not invited to participate in the event. Anne had to send the address to Wang Quan and stay at home with her husband to wait for the news.

The places are actually not too far away. They are both in Beverly Hills, but one is on the east end and the other is on the west end.

Lily was still comforting Julie, "Maybe I can meet her again when I go shopping in the future."

Julie, "It's better to send it further away."

When approaching the other party's home, Julie stopped. She didn't want to know which family had adopted the child, and she wanted to completely stop thinking about the baby.

Wang Quan parked the car on the side of the road, "Okay, now give the baby to Lily."

As if knowing that he was about to be separated from his mother, the usually very well-behaved baby burst into tears.

Julie hugged her tightly, as if she was reluctant to let go.

Wang Quan gave Lily a wink, asking her to be more decisive and take the child away.

Lily couldn't bear it anymore, and she even started crying.

At this moment, Julie made a surprising move and lifted up her clothes.

Wang Quan hurriedly turned his head, and then felt the child's cry stop.

Julie said, "It has been so long since I gave birth to her, and I haven't breastfed her yet. My mother didn't let me feed her, because she was afraid that I would be reluctant to let her go, so I didn't let them follow me. I just wanted to feed her myself once. I believe in myself." It's definitely better than milk powder, look at how sweet it is for her."

Lily hugged Julie and burst into tears. Wang Quan said that she was really a worthless girl.

Ten minutes later, when the baby was full, Julie pushed the baby into Lily's arms, who was wiping her tears, and said, "Let's go."

Lily sighed, took the well-fed baby and the throne and continued to move forward.

Wang Quan pointed to the luxurious villa ahead, "This is it."

Lily, "It seems that the conditions of the adoptive family are really good."

Kingship, "after all, Anne carefully selected them, but this pair is not a couple."

Then Wang Quan rang the doorbell, and Charlize Theron and her boyfriend Stuart Townsend enthusiastically went out to greet him.

She knew her child was coming, but she was surprised when she saw the pair Wang Quan and Lily. Why were they?
