"Alumni Network is a socialworking site tailored for university students. It''ll have photo albums, a diary, live chatting, and games that will allow them to interact with their
ssmates!" Carlisle exined.
"Users can also share their daily moods and upload their photos," Carlisle said, describing some of the functions of the Alumni Network.
It was 2004, and MSN still hadn''t enabled users to have their own space. The functions of Alumni Network would seem innovative and would be able to retain most users.
Gareth squinted when he heard Carlisle''s description and asked, "Is Alumni Network based on that foreign website, Facebook?"
Facebook was a socialworking site that had just beenunched in February by a foreignpany. There were very few people who knew about it.
Not only did Carlisle know about it, he had even created a domestic version, the Alumni Network. He had a very keen sense of business and was clearly destined to make money!
Gareth swallowed and looked tentatively at Carlisle as he asked, "Carl, um... does Alumni Network stillck investors? I think I can invest about eight to ten million in it."
Alumni Network would make money, and it would be a huge sum of money.
It was now or never if he wanted to invest!
Carlisle hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ten million, and I''ll give you ten percent of the stock!"
Investing ten million could not directly determine how much stock Gareth could get.
Dividing the stock was done ording to thepany''s articles of association and byws, as well as the agreement made between the shareholders. It also included the specific investment situation.
Both Dragonaire Studio and Alumni Network had less registered capital than the amount Gareth wanted to invest.
The total investment for Alumni Network was about one million, and Gareth wanted to invest ten million.
If they only calcted it based on the investment amount, ten million would be enough to buy ten Alumni Networks.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Giving Gareth ten percent of the stocks was a negotiation agreement between shareholders. As for whether or not Gareth would ept it, that was out of Carlisle''s consideration.
"That''s about as much as I expected!" Gareth grinned widely, revealing two rows of straight white teeth.
He was more concerned about the future of the Alumni Network.
Carlisle''s goal was to be the richest man in the world.
If all the industries he was exploring were to progress well, it would be possible.
Business was always a gamble.
If he won, he would make a huge profit.
If he lost, he would lose everything.
He was still young, and even if he did lose everything, he could start again.
"Gareth, you''ll be my superior in the future. Let me make a toast to you!" Sean picked up his ss with both hands and tried to get up.
The shareholders had more authority than the CEO did.
"Just sit down and drink it. Think of me as a friend. We don''t have to be so formal when
we''re out for a casual drink." Gareth said, frowning as he pressed Sean back down into his seat.
Sean and Carlisle had grown up together.
Although Gareth was a shareholder, he could not use his authority against them.
Sean sat down rather guardedly, and Gareth picked up his ss to clink sses with him." Let''s cut the crap. Cheers!"
After he had finished drinking, Gareth''s phone rang in his pocket.
He took it out and saw that it was n.
"Mr. Welsh, did you just get off work? Would you like toe out for a drink or two?"
"I''ll pass on the drinks. I called to tell you that we''ve caught the hacker, but he''s tight- lipped, and we can''t get anything out of him. Shein''swyer is only suing him on the charge of illegally hacking intoputers, so I expect he won''t be able to escape three to five years in jail!"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Welsh!" Gareth hung up and told Carlisle what n had said. "I''m d he''s been caught!" A cold smile appeared on Carlisle''s face.
