v3 Chapter 832： Operating system shaping (2/2)

Therefore, this company is the predecessor of Oracle, and it has a bright future.

Polaris Capital joined the second round of financing and, as the lead investor, took a 10% stake in the relational software company.

The other company is Yi Anxin, which was just established last year. Polaris Capital’s investment is an angel round investment. Peter Lynch is very optimistic about the company’s founding team and model, and directly used 1 million US dollars to smash 100%. Forty equity.

This company later grew to the sixth largest software company in the world, and was finally acquired by Dell in 2015 for a price of 67 billion US dollars.

It doesn't matter if you catch two super fish at once, even if dozens of other companies fail to invest. The future returns of these two companies are enough.

Of course, it would be great if the investment of other companies could make money. Xia Yu also discovered that among the dozens of companies he invested in, some of them were companies that were well-known for later generations.

Generally speaking, it is definitely a wise move to find Peter Lynch to manage the North Star Company.

But Xia Yu is still not satisfied. He thinks that his shareholding in relational software companies is too small, only 10%!

It's fine if you haven't found it. Since you have found it, if you are still indifferent, it will definitely strike the sky.

In the future, the market value of Oracle once exceeded US$200 billion. In other words, if relational software companies no longer raise funds, even if they hold 1% of the equity, they will be worth US$2 billion in future generations!

Of course, it is not realistic to want relational software companies not to raise funds in the future, at least there is still a financing process for listing.

But in any case, taking one percent more equity now is a huge victory. How much money is better than this?

Fortunately, Xia Yu had seen strong winds and waves, and had been able to calm down in the face of huge wealth, so he had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Xia Yu came to Polaris Capital and called Peter Lynch to his office.

Seeing Peter Lynch waiting quietly for him to give orders, Xia Yu didn’t hesitate to open the materials he saw at night and pushed it to Peter Lynch’s face, and said to him: “Peter, I’ve seen the company’s investment results. , Your vision is very good, and you have found a lot of potential stocks that I am optimistic about.”

”The equity of this Yianxin company is listed as not for sale. If we continue to raise funds in the future, we will make every effort to follow up to ensure that the equity is not diluted. The more equity we can get, the better, but the premise is not to interfere in the company's operations. Financial investment.”

”There is also this relational software company. Ten percent of the equity is too small. Looking forward to the next financing, it will take too long and you will not get much equity. You can arrange for someone to acquire the equity of other shareholders and acquire as much as possible. I will draw a line for you to increase the shareholding ratio to at least 30%!”

Peter Lynch nodded and said that he had listened. He looked at the two companies circled on the material with a serious expression, and solemnly said: ”Boss, I will remember. I'll make arrangements later.”

...

After staying in San Francisco for two days~ After Xia Yu handled all the affairs of Polaris Capital, he boarded the plane to the west coast, plus the transfer time, arrived in Seattle a day later and arrived. Seattle Computer Products Company.

Since Xia Yu set the tone for the development of the operating system, the entire company has focused resources on this project.

When Xia Yu was working before, the development speed was very fast and there were few bugs, but he was helpless to leave later, which caused the development speed to drop a lot.

Fortunately, the entire framework has been set, and it is relatively easy to improve it.

Therefore, when Xia Yu came to the company again and learned about the SCP-DOS system, he thought the product was eye-catching enough and it was time to take it to IBM!

After tidying up, Xia Yu took Thyssen Patterson and several subordinates, with samples of the developed system installed, and headed to Boca Raton.
