Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 165 I'm Too Big (Please Subscribe! Please Recommend!)

After entering the new century, the Internet has completed the first replacement, instant messaging replaced the telephone, email replaced the post office, BBS replaced the bulletin board, and now the Internet has ushered in the second layer of replacement, which is search instead of portals, social instead of instant communication.

After Facebook was launched at Harvard University, its popularity became as fast as a rocket, and it soon had 8000 users, including many faculty members. "Facebook Me" has also become a daily expression for many students.
As a result, Zuckerberg has become the most popular darling of Harvard University, even after nineteen Nobel Prize winners, fifteen Pulitzer Prize winners and a movie star (Natalie Porter) Man) school, Zuckerberg is also the most popular person, known as "Bill Gates second",
The rapid growth of Facebook also made Zuckerberg realize that manpower is needed to run and maintain the website. He first turned to his closest friends—his roommates—for help. We are recruiting two interns.

And because of the popularity of Facebook, many people signed up, and there was a drinking and programming competition tonight. Zuckerberg directly selected programmers through the competition.

As for why Li Feng recognized Zuckerberg at a glance, not only because Li Feng had often seen him on the Internet in his previous life, but also because Zuckerberg always wore a gray round-neck T-shirt that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
It seems that Zuckerberg’s clothes have never been changed. Even in the past years of starting a business, the only improvement in Zuckerberg’s clothing is the upgrade from flip-flops to the current black Nike shoes.

Of course, it’s not just Zuckerberg. It seems that many business leaders are like this. Apple’s Steve Jobs is also a standard black turtleneck sweater + jeans + New Balance sneakers. This kind of "Jobs-style uniform" of the tech party The standard attire has almost extended to Apple employees,

In China, Zhou Hongyi is like his name. He wears red clothes all day long.

In addition to the minimalism pursued by these bosses, it is estimated that this may also be a marketing method, which can best reflect the characteristics of the company's products.
Of course, Li Feng himself is relatively simple, he can do whatever suits him, but Li Feng seldom wears a suit except for very important occasions.

When Lu Lu brought Li Feng in, the competition was coming to an end. Five people were programming while drinking (one glass of wine for every ten lines of coding). After the last two people won, Zuckerberg walked forward. , held the hands of the two, and said "Welcome to Facebook" respectively.

After the game, Lu Lu led Li Feng up and said to Zuckerberg, "Mark, this is Li Feng. He wants to talk to you about Facebook."

At this time, Li Feng really took a closer look at Zuckerberg's appearance. Zuckerberg's skin was very fair, his forehead was high, and his eyes were big. He was just more capable than in his previous life, but now he looks young.

When Li Feng was observing Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg was also observing Li Feng. In fact, when Lu Lu brought Li Feng in, Zuckerberg had already noticed Li Feng.

Lu Lu is also a famous figure in Harvard University. She has her own fund company. There are even rumors that she has earned tens of millions of dollars.
But usually in college, Lu Lu always acted very cold, and many people thought she was "La La", but they didn't expect that she would bring a man with her today, and stay beside Li Feng with a happy face. Zuckerberg, who had just broken up with him, was very hurt.

At the beginning, Zuckerberg's attitude was not very good, and he said casually and quickly: "You are Lu Lu's Chinese boyfriend, I am very happy to meet you for the first time... and how did you treat Queen Lu Lu The one who caught up..."

Zuckerberg spoke so fast that Li Feng, who just knew a little English, couldn't keep up, but Li Feng still understood the key words.

When Li Feng heard Zuckerberg say "I am Lu Lu's boyfriend", he thought he heard it wrong, and asked Zuckerberg again: "You just said that I am Lu Lu's boyfriend?"

Zuckerberg said: "Isn't your name Li Feng? Lu Lu told me that day that her boyfriend wanted to meet me and want to talk to me about Facebook, and it wasn't Lu Lu who said her boyfriend was on Facebook." In China, it is estimated that many people are chasing after him now!"

In the end, Zuckerberg gave Li Feng a look that any man could understand.

After getting Zuckerberg's affirmation, Li Feng took a special look at Lu Lu, and found that Lu Lu turned her head away like a child who did something wrong.
But after a while, Lu Lu turned her head back again, and looked at Li Feng with affectionate eyes. At this time, Li Feng couldn't stand Lu Lu's eyes anymore, and turned his head to Zuckerberg and said, "Well, I am Lu Lu. Lu's boyfriend, but I'm looking for you this time,
It's because of Facebook, I believe Lu Lu has told you in general, I am very optimistic about the prospect of Facebook, it is really cool, I am very optimistic about it, but I hope to invest in it and become your partner. "

Although Facebook only became popular at Harvard University, there are still many people who want to invest in Facebook. After all, it is only an angel theory in the early stage. It is money to invest [-] to [-] US dollars, and Lu Lu did not tell Zuckerberg specifically about Li Feng. This led Zuckerberg to think that Li Feng just wanted to be an ordinary investor,
Therefore, Zuckerberg, who is not short of money, did not answer Li Feng's question directly, but said to Li Feng: "Do you dare to play a 'beer pong' game with me? If I lose, I will agree to your investment." .”

Zuckerberg likes Asian girls very much, but he fell out of love, but Li Feng has the best Chinese girl like Lu Lu as his girlfriend, so Zuckerberg wants to embarrass Li Feng.

Li Feng didn't know the situation inside, but when he heard about "Beer Ping Pong", as long as he won, he could get shares in Facebook, so Li Feng readily agreed,
And what about "ping pong", don't worry about "ping pong", as long as you play table tennis, when has the Chinese been afraid of the Americans? Li Feng is quite confident in his skills, and Li Feng hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.
Just as Li Feng was about to "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger", he found that this "beer pong" was different from what he imagined. On a rectangular table, 10 cups filled with beer were placed on each side, arranged in a triangle ,
The rules of the game are also simple. The two sides take turns throwing ping-pong balls at the opponent's cup.

If the throw is successful, the opponent must drink up the glass of beer and take down the glass until all the glasses of one party are taken, and the final loser must drink all the remaining beer of the other party.

What is playing table tennis here? I just need a table tennis ball. No wonder it is called "beer table tennis". Isn't it just a drinking contest?

Although Li Feng's drinking capacity is not good, but since he agreed, he can't say "no". Besides, a man can do anything, so he can't say "no". Besides, isn't it a matter of ten drinks at most!
So, Li Feng also stepped forward and confronted Zuckerberg, and soon Li Feng discovered that this was not the case. After each side threw ten times, Li Feng only hit two throws, while Zach Berg has already hit 2 throws, as long as Zuckerberg hits 8 more times, Li Feng will lose, and Li Feng hastily drank all the beer in the remaining glass.

Li Feng felt that he couldn't do it, and his head was a little out of control, especially the beer glass was deep and big, like a bottomless pit, and he was not used to drinking American beer.

As long as he drank a little more, Li Feng felt like he was going to vomit. Li Feng regretted it a bit, and played too much. It seems that this "beer pong" still has a certain technical content.

Lu Lu also saw that Li Feng had run out of alcohol. Just when Li Feng was about to give up, Lu Lu took over and said to Zuckerberg, "My boyfriend has a limited alcohol capacity. Let me replace the rest."

Zuckerberg still disagreed, "That won't work, who told him to come just now, unless you have two glasses for one."

In fact, Zuckerberg also saw that Li Feng's drinking power was dying, and he was about to end the game. Unexpectedly, Lu Lu stood up again. Originally, Zuckerberg just wanted to scare Lu Lu, but she really agreed.

Lu Lu said directly: "Okay, two cups is two cups, but no matter whether you win or lose, don't forget to talk about Facebook later."

When Li Feng saw Lu Lu come out, he hurriedly said: "That won't work, how can we let a woman come forward, I'll do it, I'll be fine if I vomit in a while, it's all like this anyway."

Instead, Lu Lu turned around and whispered to Li Feng, "Don't worry, my hometown is in the Northeast, so just ordering wine will moisten your throat."

Li Feng was relieved when he heard that Lu Lu's hometown was in the Northeast. If we want to say that Chinese women are stronger, they are still girls from the Northeast, known as "China's big ocean horse".

But Li Feng was still worried, and asked, "Really? This is just for fun, don't take it seriously."

Lu Lu gave Li Feng a reassuring look before starting a duel with Zuckerberg. However, due to the gap between Li Feng and Li Feng in the early stage, although Lu Lu hit two throws in a row, Zuckerberg still won with one blow. And Lu Lu drank the rest of the beer quickly, and Zuckerberg didn't mention "two glasses are worth one" again.

A total of 20 beers, Li Feng drank 8 glasses, it was not enough, Lu Lu drank 8 glasses, nothing happened, Zuckerberg drank 4 glasses, and his face turned red; watching Lu Lu drink and drink water Like, not to mention Li Feng was stunned, even Zuckerberg was stunned, and he was even a little secretly glad that he couldn't do it anymore.

After drinking, Lu Lu said to Zuckerberg very relaxedly: "Mr. Mark, let's get down to business and go to the coffee shop opposite."

Zuckerberg also readily agreed, and he didn't forget to take his laptop with him.

However, after this "Beer Ping Pong" competition, Zuckerberg also became acquainted with Li Feng and Lu Lu. Zuckerberg, like Li Feng, is not good at communication, but Zuckerberg and Li Feng Different places, once cooked, the mouth will not be idle.

Along the way, Zuckerberg pulled Li Feng and chatted, which made Li Feng nod his head, "Isn't it cool that I'm working on this Facebook, after a while, I will push it to other universities... "

Li Feng "..."

"Your boy is really happy to have such an excellent beauty as Lu Lu as his girlfriend. It's not like I was just dumped by someone. By the way, have you guys slept yet..."

Li Feng "..."

"Your name is Li Feng. This Chinese name is hard to remember. How about I give you an English name. Your pronunciation of '李' is similar to Leo. From now on, you will be called Leo, which means lion."

Li Feng "..."

It's just that Li Feng didn't expect that this "Leo" would really become Li Feng's name in the entire western world, "The Lion of the East".

Li Feng couldn't drink enough, so he drank several glasses of water in the cafe to recover, and then suppressed his alcohol.

Li Feng was afraid that Zuckerberg would come up with some new ideas, or something wrong. After all, this guy wrote on his business card, "I'm the CEO, bitch!"

Li Feng said straight to the point: "Mark, Facebook is indeed a very cool social networking site, even cooler than the most popular MySpace, and it also has real-name authentication.
Everyone can communicate on it and post their own information and status. This is a very open and friendly way of socializing. I think it is likely to change the way the world communicates.

So, this is the purpose of my coming to you, to invest in it, to make Facebook bigger with you, defeat MySpace, and develop it into the most powerful social networking site in the western world, and I also have experience in this area, I believe it can give You have helped a lot. "

When it was time for formal negotiations, Li Feng's state returned, as if he had suddenly transformed from an ordinary college student into the CEO of a large company, let alone Zuckerberg.

Even Lu Lu felt that Li Feng's temperament suddenly changed, just like the bosses of those big companies that she often met on Wall Street. For a while, Lu Lu looked at Li Feng in the same way that a milk tea sister looked at Liu Qiangdong's "" Look at your husband's eyes."

But Li Feng didn't see this, and he was going to get the Facebook thing done before the alcohol came up.

So Li Feng didn't give Zuckerberg time to think about it, and then asked Zuckerberg, "Mark, do you have an estimate of the value of Facebook?"

Li Feng remembers that Facebook received its first angel investment of 50 US dollars, which was invested by Peter Thiel, one of the co-founders of PayPal of the "Silicon Valley Gangster", accounting for 10% of the shares. The time seems to be 2004,
The shrewd Zuckerberg asked back: "Leo, how much do you think Facebook is worth?"

The United States is a standard commercial society. Neighbors still ask for money for weeding and watering flowers. Even if the children in the family do something for the adults, they are paid, and the money is often divided very clearly.
And Mark Zuckerberg, this kind of name with "Berg" sounds like a Jewish name, just like Spielberg and Mark Wahlberg, they are all Jewish,
As the two most intelligent races, the Chinese and the Chinese, and every Jew is a born businessman, born interested in business, which is an innate talent.

Li Feng also laughed loudly: "Mark, I think it's worth at least one billion dollars, and it can be worth tens of billions, or even more...but that's the future, not the present.

This is why I am willing to invest in it now. As I said just now, I am optimistic about its future and want to make Facebook bigger with you. "
