In the winter of late 2004, when the whole world was moving step by step towards the trajectory of history, Xia Ruxuan understood that he had made the biggest change in history. He had no idea that this change would eventually lead to

What kind of results will the butterfly effect cause in these seven years - until the year 2011 that I was once familiar with?

But there is no doubt that this winter is a day of nirvana and rebirth for Xia Ruxuan, Mark Zuckerberg, and the current Friendbook team.

Before this, no one knew how much benefit the cause they were working for and overturning everything for could bring to them. Even if Zuckerberg maintained 100% confidence in it, in the eyes of other team members,

A team led by a leader who has never appeared before, and they don't know what the final result of the website will be. They will be more or less worried about the cause for which they have worked so hard. In the end,

If it will be ruthlessly sold by the mysterious owner, then everything in the past will be a passing thing.

Everyone in the team is worried and at the same time helpless. When a person faces an appreciation of US$70 million a year and a personal net profit of US$30 million, can he persist in the career he loves?

It has become an extremely difficult choice. For people who are like insignificant ordinary dust standing in history, they are really not sure what answer Xia Ruxuan, this mysterious man from an ancient eastern country thousands of miles away, will give.

So since Friendbook began to be evaluated and paid attention to by the mainstream media, countless venture capital companies began to take advantage of every opportunity to get involved in it, and even more so when the Viacom Group's attractive $70 million was placed in front of them.

The entire Friendbook headquarters—actually, it’s just an apartment with a swimming pool rented by Zuckerberg in Silicon Valley. There is an extremely depressing atmosphere among Friendbook’s less than twenty employees.

The only one who has had enough communication and understanding with Xia Ruxuan and still has confidence in him is Mark Zuckerberg.

"Mark." Sean Parker walked in from the door, "Tell me the truth, based on your knowledge of Xia, what choice would he make?"

Mark Zuckerberg, who was sitting at the table, looked calm and silent, with no intention of speaking. He didn't realize it until Sean Parker walked up to him and shook his hand in his eyes.

react.

"What?" He raised his head and looked at Sean Parker in confusion, not hearing the question he asked before.

The whole room was dark, even though it was already noon, the doors and windows were still closed, and the lights in the room were not turned on.

Sean Parker walked to the window and opened the curtains. The sunlight that shone in instantly made Zuckerberg frown, but he didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at the letter from distant China on his computer screen.

The time of the email showed that it was a message received two days ago. The content was very simple, with just a few sentences. Zuckerberg could almost memorize it, but Zuckerberg often looked at it in the past two days.

Those few words stunned me.

"I have taken care of things. We will meet in Silicon Valley in two days. I will bring you a big enough surprise." It was such a simple description, signed by Xia Ruxuan.

This is an email with simple grammar and uncomplicated word meanings. No matter how you understand it, it will not have a second meaning. However, it is such an email that has made Zuckerberg feel a little confused in the past two days, so that

The atmosphere in the entire company had become a little strange in the past two days. He didn't understand what Xia Ruxuan's surprise meant.

If Xia Ruxuan only made a choice among the registrations he gave him, there is no meaning of being called a surprise. Could it be that his surprise was to come to the United States and tell everyone that everyone would take millions and tens of millions and then go their separate ways?

Flying?

Although Zuckerberg strongly does not believe that the result will be like this, being uneasy for a long time can easily make him a little distracted.

Sean Parker found a seat and leaned back casually on the chair. He was wearing a casual suit and had the typical handsomeness of a Western man in his eyebrows. But like Zuckerberg, his eyes were always a little uneasy, because this day was

The day Xia Ruxuan mentioned that he arrived in Silicon Valley. And the financing matters have been postponed from November to early December, and winter has really entered.

If the funds were not available by Christmas and New Year, then many plans for the next spring semester would be in vain. He hated the feeling of waiting for the verdict, but there was nothing he could do except wait for them.

……USA.

San Francisco.

Xia Ruxuan took a deep breath of the air that was full of feelings about the American West.

At this time of year in San Francisco, the sun is still shining and the sky is clear and clear.

At this time, he was on the Santa Clara County National Highway in South San Francisco, preparing to drive into Palo Alto.

Xia Yunbai had already checked into a high-end hotel in San Francisco. What surprised Xia Ruxuan was that Xia Yunbai, who originally thought he would have no acquaintances in the United States, chatted and laughed with a rugged middle-aged American man as soon as he got off the plane. He even spoke fluent English. Although his English

With a strong Chinese accent.

The person driving the car now was a follower of the middle-aged man. The road to Palo Alto was covered with dense jungles. There was no boundless wilderness and the blood-heated western cowboys. These stories are all in American western novels.

The car was playing rock music that Xia Ruxuan couldn't understand. Even though he didn't understand it, it still made his blood boil involuntarily. His destination was the holy land of technicians around the world, the legendary Silicon Valley.

It is based on world-renowned universities such as Stanford, Berkeley and Caltech, and is based on a group of high-tech small and medium-sized companies. It also has large companies such as Cisco, Intel, HP, Lucent, and Apple, integrating science, technology, and production.

At present, it has more than 10,000 large and small electronic industry companies, and Friendbook is just a small and humble company among them. However, no one can underestimate the word Silicon Valley. Anyone here may be able to

Become the focus of tomorrow's wealth journals and newspapers.

People all over the world know that it is common to become a millionaire or multi-millionaire overnight in Silicon Valley, and even billionaires are not impossible.

The car drove for a long enough time that Xia Ruxuan almost felt a little sleepy and stopped.

"Mr. Xia, this is the address you gave me." The young man in front turned around and smiled. He was a clean-looking white guy with white teeth and a beautiful smile.

"Thank you." Xia Ruxuan nodded his thanks, and then the man in front took out a note and handed it to Xia Ruxuan, "This is my phone number. If you need to go back to San Francisco at any time, you can call me."

"Okay." Xia Ruxuan opened the car door and walked down. She looked up at the apartment in the dazzling sunshine alone, with a smile on her lips. Then she walked briskly to the door and pressed the doorbell.

However, many years later, when Mark Zuckerberg recalled this day with a smile on his face, he could accurately report the time when the doorbell rang. It was 3:41 pm. It was the fastest time in the day.

When he was tired, the doorbell that he had been looking forward to for two whole days suddenly rang. He almost stood up in surprise and stepped on the pair of shoes.

Didas's open-toed slippers tried to open the door, but Sean Parker had already stepped out of the room one step ahead of him. The sunlight from the doorway shone into the room that had not seen light for a long time, making the house suddenly feel a little warmer. Standing against the light

The slender and straight voice made Zuckerberg feel familiar, but because they hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, it felt a little strange.

"Good afternoon." Xia Ruxuan's deep voice had a slight upward tension. He took a step forward and stepped into the house. With a bright smile on his face, he spoke again to all the silent people, "Dear friends

,good afternoon."

Zuckerberg stood there stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and smiled, revealing his cute tiger teeth, and gave Xia Ruxuan a bear hug. Everyone watched this scene in silence, although they felt that they had always been quiet and reserved.

It was a little strange that Zuckerberg would behave like this, but naturally no one said anything.

Zuckerberg turned around, stood up on tiptoes with some difficulty and put his arm around Xia Ruxuan's shoulders, "Everyone, now I want to solemnly introduce to you, this is Xia Ruxuan, the largest shareholder of our company and the oldest founder of friendbook.

.”

Hearing Zuckerberg's introduction, many people laughed. Xia Ruxuan scanned the apartment. Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, I have to say that the structure of the room was quite good, and there was a unique personality permeating it.

in the layout.

Flamboyant and unique.

"Are you the Xia Zuckerberg always talks about, the one who created Friendsbook with him a year ago in the Chinese restaurant next to the Harvard dormitory?"

That sentence about "Chinese restaurant" really attracted a lot of laughter, and not all of it was in good faith. Xia Ruxuan naturally understood this. Sean Parker stood not far away and looked at him calmly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes. Xia Ruxuan could read

arrived.

There were even a few people sitting in front of the computer looking at him with some hostility. Even though Xia Ruxuan didn't know where the hostility came from, he knew that although he theoretically held 51% of the shares,

But it is extremely difficult to really take control.

Silicon Valley is a place where strength speaks for itself. If you cannot show the ability that matches your status, you will be gradually eliminated according to the law of the jungle. Xia Ruxuan understands this, and everyone here understands this.

At this time, a man who was older than several others stood up and walked up to Xia Ruxuan. His smile was a little wary and he shook hands with him, "Hello, Mr. Xia, my name is Matt Kohler. I'm very happy."

I know you. I would like to ask, have you made a decision about the future of friendbook?"
