In the evening, Xue Baoshan was a little nervous.

It wasn't because she was afraid of sleeping in a room alone, but before she came, Wu Yu secretly looked for her and told her something.

It was said that in January, Zhou Buqi and Shi Jinglin went to Hangzhou for a business trip, which lasted less than a week.

Then, he took her down.

On this business trip, she was the only girl beside Zhou Buqi, so she needed to be mentally prepared.

Therefore, Xue Baoshan made up her mind that no matter how Zhou Buqi contacted her tonight, she would not be able to open the door. Once he was allowed into the house, many things would be out of control.

Because of the jet lag, she didn't sleep much that night.

Keep staring at your phone.

Unexpectedly, I didn't receive a single message.

This made Xue Baoshan breathe a long sigh of relief. She felt that Classmate Zhou was okay and did not point the gun at herself. At least this trip to the United States should not be a big problem.

The next morning, everyone got up very tired.

Being jet lag is really painful.

Zhou is not qualified but full of energy.

He didn't sleep much on the plane. Instead, he slept deeply all night. After getting up, he felt full of strength.

At 9:30 in the morning, a group of people showed up at Facebook's office.

I rented half a floor of an office building.

Next door is PayPal.

Among them, the oldest one is Li Ke, who is in charge of finance. He is 29 years old and looks relatively mature. Probably for this reason, he is very popular with the blond foreign girl.

But when everyone asked him jokingly this morning, he blushed and kept mumbling for a long time, saying that Emily went to his room at night and pestered him for half the night.

As a result, he acted like a gentleman.

Later, Emily was really sleepy and left in disappointment.

Yao Guangyuan made an enigmatic comment: "A cannon loaded with bullets cannot hit it even if it wants to."

After hearing this, everyone laughed.

Everyone was amazed when they saw Zuckerberg.

Of course, it’s not just the Chinese delegation that is amazed?

Facebook employees also looked at the visiting group of Asians with incredulous eyes, as if they were looking at pandas.

They had already heard the letter.

It is said that a large Internet company from China will visit today. Its business includes not only SNS websites, but also security products, as well as e-commerce business, takeout business, etc.

I thought that a group of mature and calm middle-aged people would come, but... a group of younger people came!

Mark Zuckerberg, the big boss of Facebook, is 22 years old this year, which is already young enough. As a result, everyone in this group of people seems to be younger than Mark.

Next, there is a simple meeting.

Xue Baoshan acted as translator.

Everyone is here to cooperate. Zuckerberg got straight to the point and first talked about the situation of Facebook. This year, Facebook’s traffic has exceeded that of Amazon, Disney, Viacom and other websites.

Affected by this, more than a dozen companies came to inquire.

Two of them actually gave us quotations.

One was the media giant Viacom, and its offer was still US$750 million. Zuckerberg was not satisfied, and his request was US$2 billion. As a result, the negotiation collapsed.

Then, Yahoo showed up again and offered a price of US$1 billion, but still no agreement was reached.

"We have found investors, Meritech Capital and Greylock Capital. The former is oriented towards the emerging Internet industry and can grasp the latest industry trends and more talent resources in related industries. The latter is an established capital institution.

It has a deep accumulation, has the richest talents across all industries in the United States, and has the broadest network of contacts in the capital circle."

Zuckerberg hits the nail on the head.

Today’s Facebook is a piece of cake!

Just having money is not enough.

If you want to participate in this financing, in addition to giving money, you must also help Facebook in other aspects.

However, Facebook does not dare to be too harsh.

Because the largest social networking site in the United States now is not Facebook, but MySpace.

How powerful is MySpace?

The backer behind it is the giant News Group!

This year, MySpace and Google signed an agreement, including a search service and advertising agreement, with a total value of up to 900 million US dollars!

There is a big mountain in front of Facebook, and it will be very difficult to climb over it.

This situation is just like in China, friends network and QQ space.

Friends.com has 36 million users. QQ Space was launched last year and is bound to QQ. The number of users has easily exceeded 100 million.

If you want to reverse the situation, you must continue to push forward.

Attract users with newer and more attractive products.

Such as social games.

The difference is that Friends.com has launched social games "Friend Buying and Selling" and "Grab Parking Space". In less than two months, QQ Space will follow suit immediately.

The United States has no such concerns.

This is why Zuckerberg values ​​this Chinese Internet company very much.

Social games such as "Grab a Parking Space" are simple and interesting, and have strong user stickiness, which can be used as Facebook's nuclear weapon to defeat MySpace.

As the CEO of Friends.com, Zhang Yiming spoke directly to him in English and explained some of Friends.com’s ideas and strategic positioning on social games in a simple and easy-to-understand way. He expressed his willingness to share creative and technical achievements with Facebook for common development and common development.

progress.

Not to be outdone, Zhou Buqi said with great righteousness: "Our country is building a harmonious society, paying special attention to the good cultivation of Sino-US relations. The big leader said that we should look at it with a broad and profound strategic vision and a mutually beneficial and win-win thinking of the times.

and handle Sino-US relations to ensure that the relations between the two countries develop steadily along the right track of constructive and cooperative relations. They must learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths..."

Because Xue Baoshan is of very high standard, she is a simultaneous interpreter.

At this point, I feel a little bit speechless.

The five Americans across the conference table all looked inexplicably stunned.

I couldn't understand what he was talking about at all.

Zhen Yu slapped her forehead and almost fainted.

This Boss Zhou is a bit unreliable... Yes, in China, if you use this set of high-level arguments, no matter what the occasion, people will be awe-inspiring.

I think you are very cultured, thoughtful and well-organized.

He can still speak freely to the leaders, which shows that he has a good level.

But the person opposite you is an American?

They are capitalist and only talk about profits! They don’t accept this at all!

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi reacted immediately and corrected some domestic negotiation habits, saying: "Friends.com currently has 36 million users and is the largest social networking site in China. We have the best product entrepreneurship and technological innovation. Facebook and Friends

Network cooperation can further promote in-depth cooperation between the two parties in multiple fields."

Zuckerberg immediately said: "My girlfriend is of Chinese descent. I am very interested in Chinese culture and I am looking forward to cooperating with Friends."

This was all stated in the email a long time ago.

However, the specific method of cooperation remains to be discussed.

Investing in shares is a sure thing.

The valuation of Facebook's Series B financing has been determined at US$550 million, diluting 5% of the shares, and raising US$27.5 million.

With the strength of Friends.com, we can give you a 1%-2% share quota.

This is expected.

The key is, what mode does “grabbing parking spaces” use to land on Facebook?

"The advertising sharing model is settled based on the PV volume."

This is what Zuckerberg said.

Of course China is not satisfied.

Zhang Yiming said: "Facebook doesn't have too many ads at the moment, right? And with all due respect, Facebook's current website loading speed is not very high, which should be related to the scale of your server. Grabbing a parking space is a game, and the loading process takes a long time.

Based on your server feedback speed, if you add advertisements..."

He shook his head.
