“Summer, there was just a venture capital firm called Greylock Partners who wanted to talk to us and they mentioned that they were willing to pay $25 million for this five percent equity, in addition to having a board of directors

They had no other requests outside the seat, I think this would be an opportunity." Xia Ruxuan returned to the venue, and the atmosphere was as noisy as he walked into the venue half an hour ago, with a sharp-eyed Zuckerberg glanced

He found Xia Ruxuan, who was conspicuous in the crowd, and came up and spoke with great excitement.

Xia Ruxuan looked at Zuckerberg calmly and opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't think about how to express what had just happened. But no matter what, his mood finally became happy. At this moment, he felt

The chariot I was in finally began to rumble forward at an invincible speed, crushing the traces of weeds in the years.

Before this, at some point before this, he might have hesitated whether this station could follow the brilliant trajectory in his memory, but at this moment he finally let go of all doubts.

"What's wrong?" Zuckerberg first discovered Xia Ruxuan's somewhat abnormal attitude and spoke in confusion.

"Mark, I have good news to tell you." Xia Ruxuan took a strong breath, "Just just now, I had a discussion with the chairman of Morelo Group, and he was willing to do this five percent

The equity is $50 million."

At that moment, the air was frozen, and some noisy sounds came into Zuckerberg's ears through the air, making him feel that the whole world had an unreal feeling in this second.

"How much?" Zuckerberg asked with wide eyes, even wondering if something went wrong with his ears to hear such a number that made people feel really incredible. Or was the other party just saying it

It's just $15 million, after all, fifteen and fifty sound a bit similar in English, and Zuckerberg isn't that sure.

Xia Ruxuan looked at Zuckerberg with a smile on his face. He knew that Zuckerberg was a little unbelievable, and then he stretched out five fingers and shook in front of Zuckerberg. At this moment, he saw

Zuckerberg's face was twitching like a spasm, and then he repeated the sentence solemnly again, "Fifty million dollars."

This time, Zuckerberg could hear clearly the accent of Xia Ruxuan's pronunciation, and he stood there dumbly, chanting the number 50 million in a low voice like a demon... It seemed like the whole person was the whole person

The world has become illusory.

On this night, the cold wind blew across New York City by the Hudson River in Manhattan, and Zuckerberg ran and shouted, causing countless people to stop and watch, but he no longer cared, he was like

It was like a child who vented his emotions happily. Xia Ruxuan followed him calmly. There was no snow in New York, and it smelled a bit drunk and ecstatic on this night.

After half an hour of turning, Zuckerberg was really tired of running, so he stopped and took out his phone to share this wonderful message with Sean Parker, who was far away in California.

...Sean Parker is attending a party with similar surnames in California. Because of Silicon Valley, California venture capital companies are bolder and have stronger funds than others. With his professional vision of spending many years in Silicon Valley, he feels

The young oriental man was really too proud. Although he did have the capital, he created all this with one hand... but this does not mean that he can lead the entire company and go with him to a possible return.

The abyss - If the company cannot get enough funds to maintain the operation of the next six months in a short period of time, then when the funds are really tight in a few months, they may have to face the situation

Merchants who start prices.

This is the jungle law of Silicon Valley. No venture capitalist is a fool. They only value interests. Their purpose is to try every means to prevent the company from hyping up after joining, and then blindly invest in it by everyone.

The funds will be swept away and successfully invested this time with an almost quick success and instant benefit attitude, but the funds in their hands doubled. No one will really consider how much the company can be worth ten years later. They only value the present.

Pay attention to what will happen in half a year if you value a few months. Sean Parker thinks Xia Ruxuan is really too simple to imagine everything.

At this banquet, Sean Parker received a call from Zuckerberg. After a few seconds, his originally calm expression suddenly became a little frozen. A woman in exquisite clothes and beautiful appearance in front of her smiled and called him.

He said hello, but he was instinctively looking at the air. He suddenly felt that his whole body was exhausted, "You mean... 50 million, 5%?"

He gasped, which was twice as expensive as he talked to Mr. Scampberg of San Francisco. He paused for a long time, listening to Zuckerberg saying something excitedly on the other end of the phone, and then

He spoke weakly, "Mark, can you give Xia the phone? I want to say a few words to him."

It was not until a few seconds later that the man's low voice came from the other end of the phone that Sean Parker finally spoke after hesitating for a few seconds, "I apologize for my previous words and shallowness." He said with some difficulty.

Then he hung up the phone. The banquet was still flashy and dazzling. At this moment, Sean Parker suddenly felt that he had no meaning to stay here. He took a deep breath and looked helplessly.

Mobile phone, Xia... It seems that I am really inferior to you.

Later, Xia Ruxuan called Jeff Rothschild, the company's consultant, and on the phone Xia Ruxuan told him the news that Allen Morello was willing to invest 50 million, but Xia Ruxuan did not talk too much about himself and Mo.

Jeff Rothschild was extremely surprised by the news and also wished Xia Ruxuan some of the origins that had existed before.

But in the end he mentioned his concerns, that is, the Morelo family is not philanthropists, and it is of significance for them to dare to release such a price, but Xia Ruxuan also has his own opinions on this.

As the deal with Viacom gradually became silent, Friendbook's valuation before the second round of financing this winter was pushed to $1 billion, ten times the valuation of the first round a year ago. By Moray

In this round, Friendbook received a total of US$50 million in funding, and its market value climbed to one billion.

According to a small part of the management financing, it fell directly into Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg's wallets.

It can be said that this time, the company's financial pressure was quickly relieved, and Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg were finally able to withdraw from Viacom's strength, completely disrupting all the arrangements of Viacom Group.

Michael Wolff even called in person to inquire about this matter again, but this time the answer he got was a yes answer, which disappointed him.

It can be said that this is the best gift for both Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg.

In any case, the financing issue about friendbook has finally come to an end. This 50 million is enough for the station to take a long time, enough to wait until the station turns losses into profits and starts to create huge benefits.

Work did not stop. Although Christmas is approaching, the new journey of workplace in the workplace has begun to be in full swing. According to Zuckerberg's plan, it is launched strongly on Christmas day. Zuckerberg, who has no financial worries, finally

You can host a big fight.

In addition to the workplace, Zuckerberg is still planning to write a "dynamic news" function himself. The prototype of this function comes from Zuckerberg's great success in photo applications.

This is the "time sorting" function launched with the photo function at the same time, which allows users to see the latest news around them at the first time without having to go to the visit and chase them from one friend. After all, everyone is on the site

All they have to do is to check other people's information. They are used to the fact that their last visit is constantly clicking to try to find out if there has been any changes since the last visit. However, the search process is lengthy and monotonous.

So he came up with the idea of ​​building a new page, which will be realistic about all the recent changes on the homepage of the friends you are following. This is a screen that can display everything, and this is the 'dynamic news'

The concept of the concept. His explanation to Xia Ruxuan was: "A little squirrel dying in front of your house may be more interested in you than the ones who died in Africa." The order in which these information are displayed depends on the user's behavior, the user's

Likes and users’ browsing habits, etc. He thinks this would be a very good idea.

Before Christmas was even over, he started discussing this matter with Adam D'Angelo, who was still at the headquarters of Silicon Valley, a high school programming genius who was once like him. He just listened to Zuckerberg's introduction

Xia Ruxuan always felt something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. In this regard, he might not be as professional as Zuckerberg.

In short, all this has begun to show a prosperous side, and the number of new high school students who join every day seems particularly healthy. The university market is approaching saturation, and Zuckerberg has also begun to prepare to use this advantageous resources to conduct some advertising trials.

Delivery.

Although Michael Wolf of Viacom did not compete for the company from Xia Ruxuan, he was not discouraged and prepared to start discussing an advertising business. After all, the audience of its mtv music TV and its website audience are very similar.

high.

Of course, negotiations and specific plans still have to wait until after Christmas.

As for Xia Ruxuan, his pockets became extremely abundant again, and he booked a luxurious presidential suite in this Pennsylvania hotel. He prepared to spend this wonderful Christmas with Liu Yi in a foreign country.
