Chapter 102 Kratos
…
As for the ‘Joan of Arc’, it is a ‘sisters’ association with female members, so I won’t introduce it here.
At this moment, Keith Breschlaud, standing in front of Guo Shouyun, is one of the founding members of the Kratos Brotherhood.
When he was studying at Stanford, Guo Shouyun had heard his name more than once, but he didn’t know much about him except that he was a German Jew. However, there are many rumors about this person within Stanford University. In particular, many people say that he is the direct descendant of the mysterious and legendary court Jewish family, the Breschlaud family.
The Breschlauder family, in Germany from the 19th to the early 20th century, together with the German court Jewish families such as Oppenheimer, Mendelssohn, and Warberg, dominated the financial world of the German Empire. The Pudan War, the Prussian-Austrian War, and the Franco-Prussian War, the three crucial battles of German unification, all had the Breschlaud family behind them, and they were vividly called “Bismarck’s purse” at that time!
But “the wind is always blown away by the rain”, and World War I and World War II turned the whole of Europe into ruins. With the famous ‘Rothschild’ and ‘Wittgenstein’ both turned into yesterday’s yellow flowers, Breschlaud is of course not having a good time. However, “the thin dead camel is bigger than the horse”, no one can tell how much influence these families that have not completely died in history still have.
“Since Mr. Guo knows us a little bit, it’s easy to say a lot!” Keith Breschlaud did not continue after speaking.
Suri Windrow on the side is obviously a person who is good at observing words and feelings. After the other party stopped talking, she continued to introduce Guo Shouyun with a natural expression: “This is Walter Henderson, currently from Santa Clara County. MP!”
“Hello, Mr. Guo!”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Henderson!”
His scrutinizing eyes swept over this tall, strong, Latino-looking young man in his mid-thirties, Guo Shouyun turned to look at another man in a suit and leather shoes next to him, with gold-rimmed glasses on his face. Young Caucasian with an affable smile.
“This is Paul De Nielsen, currently the owner of De Nielsen Financial Company!” Sully Windrow introduced in a timely manner.
“Mr. Guo’s LinkedIn is the most valuable company in Silicon Valley. I wonder if we can give De Nielsen a chance?” Paul De Nielsen smiled after holding Guo Shouyun’s right hand.
“Of course! When LinkedIn launches its Series B round of financing, I will personally notify Mr. Denilson!” A gleam of light flashed in Guo Shouyun’s eyes with a smile on his face.
“Who is this…!”
“I’ll do it myself!” After interrupting Suri Windrow’s words, Jason Wallace smiled and stretched out his right hand towards Guo Shouyun, “Let’s get to know him formally, Jason Wallace, who is currently in Weizhou. Fargo as the fund manager.”
Guo Shouyun’s pupils shrank, being able to take up the position of fund manager in the fifth largest wealth management company in the United States at such a young age shows his talent.
“Bruce, I don’t need to introduce this one, right?” Suri Windrow laughed.
Looking at the same young Chinese youth with similar skin and appearance to himself, Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, then extended his right hand to the other side, “Jerry, I didn’t expect you to be here today.”
“I didn’t expect it, but they said you were there.” Cheng Tinghua also extended his right hand and smiled.
The two were classmates in the economics department at Stanford University. However, compared to Guo Shouyun, who had graduated earlier, Cheng Tinghua is still in his third year.
Guo Shouyun nodded with a smile. He didn’t have too much relationship with this classmate of the same race. Only met a few times in class and when participating in the Columbia Chinese community. However, according to rumors, this person is also a rich second-generation with quite a background. I don’t know how exactly. Of course, judging from today’s situation, this rumor is mostly true.
Later, Suri Windrow introduced Guo Shouyun a few classmates of his computer department. Of course, all of them are the best of his class.
“I didn’t expect to meet so many young elites tonight, it’s an honor!” After Suri Windrow finished introducing, Guo Shouyun quickly swept his eyes over everyone and smiled.
“It is also our honor to know Mr. Guo!” Keith Breschlaud also laughed.
It can be seen that all the members of the Kratos Brotherhood present are dominated by him.
“Everyone, sit down and talk!”
Suri Windrow is more of a host here than Martin Alexander. This is also due to her character. Compared with Martin, who is not good at words, Su Li’s eloquence and communication skills are undoubtedly dozens of times better than him.
Everyone nodded, and after they found their seats and sat down, the beautiful girls around them sat down beside them with almost no instructions, and they seemed very familiar with tea and wine. Apparently, they do this a lot.
Sitting next to Guo Shouyun was a beautiful Asian woman, but she was from China or another country. With Molly Bevan in his heart, he didn’t have much interest in ordinary vulgar fans, so he didn’t make any excessive moves.
“Mr. Guo, since you know about our ‘Kratos Brotherhood’, you want to know something about us. But I don’t know if you are interested in joining us?” Keith Breschlaud was more direct than Guo Shouyun imagined.
“Can someone like me who has left Stanford join Kratos?” Guo Shouyun said with a faint smile.
“Strictly speaking, Mr. Guo is only a junior now. Moreover, the Kratos Brotherhood does not have to be a student, as long as it is a Stanford student, whether it has been graduated for many years or just entered the school, as long as it meets our standards, Can enter the Kratos Brotherhood!”
“I see. But if I join, what kind of ceremony is required? If you want to run naked, or drink alcohol, or corporal punishment, then you can avoid it!” Guo Shouyun shook his head.
“The Kratos Brotherhood values courage and wisdom. Mr. Guo’s wisdom was already very good in school, and courage does not need those vulgar things to prove it.”
“What do you need?” Guo Shouyun played with his taste.
“Hike through Death Valley, level 5 rock climbing, or any other extreme sport!”
“Sorry, I don’t have time and I don’t like doing these crazy things!”
Guo Shouyun’s refusal was not unexpected by Keith Breschlaud, “It doesn’t matter if Mr. Guo doesn’t do it. But if you join in this way, you will have to go through a one-year inspection period.”
“A one-year inspection period?”
“good!”
“During the inspection period, are there only obligations and no rights?” Guo Shouyun asked inexplicably.
“Of course. But compared to the income of the next few decades, one year’s effort is not too much!” Keith Breschlaud stared at him with piercing eyes.
Guo Shouyun nodded nonchalantly.
“Then what do I have to pay?”
“Everyone is the same, every member of the ‘Queiros Brotherhood’ must help each other as much as possible when their companions are in need, whether it is political or economic!”
“understood!”
Guo Shouyun smiled lightly. He’s not a fool, and with Keith Breschlaud giving such a broad answer, there are naturally countless possible explanations. As long as the other party wants to, he can make any request to him, such as taking a stake in LinkedIn or even Google!
Keith Breschlaud frowned slightly, the other party’s calmness made him unable to guess Guo Shouyun’s thoughts for a while. But instinctively, the other party seems to be not very satisfied with his answer.
“Mr. Guo, the Queiroz Brotherhood has been established for 12 years and has deep network resources in the US political and business circles. Joining it will be of great benefit to both LinkedIn and your own development.”
“I understand, but this is not a trivial matter after all, I need time to think about it!”
“Yes, but what time?”
“One week!”
Keith Breschlaud thought it was a little long, but didn’t say much.
“We look forward to Mr. Guo’s affirmative answer in a week!”
Guo Shouyun smiled, neither affirming nor denying.
“Mr. Guo, I just mentioned LinkedIn’s Series B financing. I don’t know when it will be?” Paul Denilson said.
Glancing at him, Guo Shouyun realized that this person was really persistent. However, the expressions of the concerned people around, LinkedIn is obviously one of the core reasons why they are here today.
“Next year, the specific time has not yet been determined. We will see the company’s exhibition.” Guo Shouyun smiled.
In fact, he had a plan in mind for the exhibition behind LinkedIn. Of course there will be Series B financing, but not everyone is eligible to participate. Because, refinancing is not just a matter of money, but also the consideration of connections. In layman’s terms, it is no longer Vc, but the pe round of financing that distributes benefits, attracts strong allies, and prepares the ground for later listing.
“What about the financing amount and shares?” Paul Denelson immediately asked.
Guo Shouyun frowned, is this person really stupid or too presumptuous? The amount of financing and the number of financing shares are the company’s core secrets~www.readwn.com~ Not to mention that Guo Shouyun himself is not ready now, even if he has made a plan, it is impossible to tell an outsider.
“Mr. Denelson is really interested in LinkedIn!” Guo Shouyun said indifferently.
Judging from his expression, Paul Denilson also knew that he seemed too anxious.
“Sorry, my attitude was not good just now. But Mr. Guo may not know, I am very interested in your LinkedIn. If you want, I am willing to invest 1.5 million US dollars on behalf of Denilson, and the shares are only 10%! ”
Under the Nasdaq crisis, there are not many Internet companies that can persevere, and almost every one has investment value. Among these Internet companies, few have found their own profit model. LinkedIn is especially valuable here. That’s why Paul Denelson, Keith Breschlaud, and even the entire Kratos Brotherhood value him, and LinkedIn.
