Chapter 579： I voted for this project

   Chapter 579 I voted for this project

After    finished speaking in one breath, Sergey was still in the mood.

He sighed and said: "Hey, unfortunately I don't have the funds, I can do the programming myself, but I don't have the money to do the UI art of the website, so the website looks pretty rudimentary. Also, I don't have the money to promote it. Let’s promote it in our school first, and then slowly expand it to other universities in Moscow.”

Doing a website is not that simple.

It’s not just about technology. Without enough capital, the initial stage will be quite slow.

The staff can't afford it, the server can't be rented, and the promotion can't be done.

Just relying on word-of-mouth publicity is a bit nonsense, because the creativity of the Internet industry is not protected.

Once a large company finds out that your website has a good idea, they will simply "copy" it. In addition, other people have strong capital and technical reserves, then they will simply put the original work on the ground.

This kind of thing, who do you go to to reason with.

Wang Ye said calmly: "Then why don't you try to find a venture capital firm, maybe someone else will take a fancy to this project and give you a sum of money, so wouldn't you have start-up capital?"

Sergey shook his head again and again and said helplessly: "If you are in the United States, maybe you can try it, but in Moscow, no one will be interested in a personal website like me, and there are not so many venture capital firms. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I I don’t know if there are any similar venture capital firms in Moscow.”

"Then you want to start this project, plus employee recruitment, website promotion, server rental, how much does it cost?" Wang Ye continued to ask.

Sergey frowned and thought for a while, then stretched out a slap.

"At least $50,000!

This is already a situation where saving can be saved. Employees can find part-time jobs for students in related majors in various universities. I am familiar with this.

The server, you can secretly use our school's server in the early stage. I was in charge of it.

But for website promotion, this money can’t be saved. If you advertise on a portal website like MAIL.RU for a month, if the location is not so good, it will cost 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.

These 50,000 US dollars, save some money, can last for about three months.

But three months later, the website should have improved. Whether it is to increase investment or consider the profit model, it is the next stage. "

Wang Ye nodded, this Sergey really didn't have a big appetite, he only dared to ask for fifty thousand dollars.

Seriously, investing this amount of money is just a petty joke.

When the Internet industry was hot in the past two years, many websites came up with millions or even tens of millions of dollars in money.

The term "burning money" came from the Internet industry!

…………

"Then what do you think your website... or how much your idea is worth, that is, the valuation of your website." Wang Ye asked with great interest.

Sergey said without hesitation: "It's worth at least $50,000! If a company invests $50,000 for me, I'll give them 50% of the shares, no more."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something. He stretched out his head and stared at Wang Ye, and asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel that you are familiar, as if I've seen it before."

Wang Ye smiled, "We are roommates, how could we have never met."

Sergey shook his head quickly and said, "It's not this, I mean I seem to have seen you on... TV or newspapers... or somewhere else. You won't be a big star, right? But looking at your temperament and appearance, Dressed up, you really want to tell me that you are a star, and I'm not surprised. But I rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry."

said, he laughed.

Also, although Wang Ye came to school, he did not dress very formally.

But the clothes on his body are definitely top brands, and the watch in his hand looks like a jewel, and it is very valuable!

So, Sergey said he was a star, which is not true, but not too far.

Isn't    Wang Ye the brightest star in Moscow politics...

Wang Ye shook his head, neither admitting nor denying, but just took out a thin wallet from his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper.

reached out and handed it to Sergey: "I voted for your project!"

Sergey was stunned, not knowing what Wang Ye was talking about.

What project, what did you vote for...

looked down at the piece of paper in Wang Ye's hand, he didn't know what it was.

Obviously, Wang Ye saw that Sergey didn't understand what he meant, and explained: "This is a cash check, which can be cashed at any bank. These money are the funds I personally invested in your project, of course. , I want shares. By the way, 50,000 US dollars is too little. If you want to do it, then make it bigger, it's one million!"

Sergey felt his scalp tingling and the hairs on his body stood up.

One million...$$...

You are not kidding yourself!

My roommate, how holy is it, how could it be a cash check of one million dollars!

He swallowed his saliva and said with an embarrassed smile, "You...you're not kidding."

Wang Ye said calmly: "Do you think I'm joking? Or, you really don't know who I am?"

Sergey asked subconsciously, "Aren't you just a student? By the way, what's your name, I didn't hear it just now..."

Wang Ye was helpless and could only say: "You open the official website of our school."

While operating the computer, Sergey asked suspiciously: "Why open the official website? Are you still the school leader, with your introduction on it? Impossible! Our school is not as young as you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the big photo on the homepage of the school's official website, and immediately swallowed the following words.

Staring at the computer screen for a while, he suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Ye, looked at it several times, and then turned to look at the computer screen again.

After going back and forth like this two or three times, he asked in disbelief: "Your name is... Mikhail!"

Wang Ye smiled and nodded, "It's like a fake."

Sergey suddenly let out a whimper, wrapped his hands around his head, sat on the chair and swayed and swayed, mumbling, "Damn it! My roommate is a big man, how did I know it until now! Sergey! , what are you doing all day..."

What he regrets is that he only now knows Wang Ye's identity. If he had known earlier, wouldn't his project have been started long ago!

Maybe, if I had found Mikhail’s investment a few months earlier, my website is now a rising star on the Russian Internet!

Wang Ye reminded him: "How do you say, will you accept my investment? However, I want more than half of the shares..."
