Chapter 452 Lin Feng Becomes the Major Shareholder of Facebook
When Mark heard that Lin Feng said that he would invest 30 billion US dollars, he was stunned. He didn't expect that this young man from China would have such courage to spend so much money to invest in Facebook.

Mark has heard about Lin Feng's deeds for a long time, knowing that he has never failed a single reputation in the investment world, and it is precisely because of Lin Feng's generosity that Mark's heart is a little shaken.

Although Mark knew when he founded Facebook that the site would have a bright future, it is true.

Facebook was founded only four years ago, and currently has more than 100 million users in dozens of countries around the world. According to the valuation of Morgan Investment Bank not long ago, Facebook has grown from nothing to a valuation of $[-] billion in four years. technology company.

That's why Mark didn't easily agree to Lin Feng's condition of investing 30 billion US dollars. After all, after the previous rounds of financing, if he gave Lin Feng 100% of the shares at a valuation of 30.00 billion US dollars this time, then Mark's hand Li shares are no longer the largest shareholder.

"Mr. Lin, you are too generous." Mark showed a reluctant smile, looked at Lin Feng, and continued: "But our Facebook company does not need such a large sum of funds at present, why don't you invest one billion dollars? "

Mark saw that Lin Feng had no expression on his face after listening to him, so he quickly explained.

"Last month, Morgan Investment Bank approached me and valued Facebook at US$100 billion. If Mr. Lin is willing to invest one billion US dollars, then I can promise to give you 12.00% of the shares. Do you think it is okay?"

Zou Ming, who was sitting next to him, was surprised by Mark's words. He didn't expect Mark to be so courageous, and he gave away [-]% of the shares like this.

Indeed, according to Morgan Investment Bank's valuation of 100 billion US dollars, Lin Feng's 12.00 billion US dollars can only be exchanged for [-]% of the shares, and Mark's [-]%, the extra [-]% of the shares are worth [-] million US dollars , it can be said that Mark is full of sincerity.

Zou Ming didn't speak, but turned to look at Lin Feng next to him. Although the funds for investing in Facebook would come from the trust fund managed by Zou Ming, Zou Ming knew that the decision still needed Lin Feng's approval.

Lin Feng raised his head and looked into Mark's eyes. Lin Feng read Mark's worry from his blue pupils.

"Mr. Mark is afraid that he will lose control over Facebook." Lin Feng took a sip of coffee, and then asked Mark in a flat tone.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Mark did not deny it. After all, foreigners do not have such deep scheming, and they directly speak out what they think in their hearts.

"Mr. Lin's Xingkong Group was also created by you. I believe that Mr. Lin should have the same idea as me."

After Mark finished speaking, he stared at Lin Feng with a pair of beautiful blue eyes. He knew that Lin Feng also started from scratch, so he should understand his feelings.

"I think Mr. Mark misunderstood. I never thought of interfering with the development of Facebook, so I just invested in Facebook to enjoy the capital dividends brought by the company's value growth, and I will not participate in the company's management. .”

"You either take me $30 billion, or I don't invest."

When Zou Ming heard Lin Feng's words, he immediately congratulated his boss in his heart. No one else wanted so much money, but the boss actually forced him to pay so much money.

Lin Feng also knew that Mark was worried about losing control of Facebook, but Mark's worries were unnecessary.

The reason why Lin Feng is optimistic about Facebook is that he thinks that under Mark's management, Facebook's valuation can increase tenfold in ten years and become a technology company worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

If Facebook was not under the management of Mark, Lin Feng would still be a little worried about whether the company would still be so valuable in the future.

"Mr. Mark, don't worry, the shares I acquired with an investment of 30 billion US dollars, I only enjoy the right to dividends, not the right to make decisions, and I will give you the right to vote."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Mark was really taken aback.

When Lin Feng said before that he would invest 30 billion US dollars, Mark already felt that Lin Feng was very optimistic about Facebook. Now Lin Feng said that he only needs shares, not decision-making power. This is to be more optimistic about the future of Facebook before investing 30 billion US dollars. Don't ask about the company's development.

"Is what Mr. Lin said true?"

If what Lin Feng said is true, then Mark is really moved.

After all, Mark knew that with the expansion of various businesses behind Facebook, a lot of funds were needed, so financing was imminent.

Anyway, Facebook companies need financing. Whose money should they take?If it is all given to Lin Feng, it is possible to enter the world's largest market with the help of Lin Feng's resources. For Facebook, this is simply a cake that fell from the sky. Use the other party's resources, and don't bother with the other party to intervene in the company's management.

Seeing the expression on Mark's face, Lin Feng also laughed, and then gave Zou Ming a look next to him.

Seeing Lin Feng's eyes, Zou Ming took out an agreement that had been written earlier and placed it in front of Mark.

Mark raised his head and looked at Lin Feng in doubt. After seeing the other party motioning him to read the document first, he suppressed the doubt in his heart and lowered his head to look at the document in front of him.

The more Mark watched, the more surprised he became. At the end, his eyes were already full of surprise.

"Mr. Lin, these conditions of yours are really true."

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Mr. Mark, I don't need the management right if I pay so much money here. Could it be that I have some conditions in other aspects?"

Mark looked at the young man sitting opposite him who was several years younger than him, and felt a little depressed. He used to think that he was already the most powerful young man, but when he compared with Lin Feng, he couldn't help feeling a little bit decadent feeling.

Mark sighed, "I can agree to these conditions of Mr. Lin, but I need to add a clause at the end. If Mr. Lin needs to sell shares to cash out, I have the first right of first refusal."

Lin Feng replied with a smile: "Of course it is possible, as long as the price you give is reasonable."

So after Lin Feng and Mark reached a preliminary opinion, the rest was left to Zou Ming.

After talking about the matter, Mark got up and left. After all, he still needed to go back and meet with other shareholders to explain the situation.

After Mark left, Zou Ming turned to look at Lin Feng suspiciously.

"Boss, why do we invest so much money in this company but don't want management rights?"

"Once the management of this company is incompetent, we may lose everything."

Hearing Zou Ming's words, Lin Feng smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"What do you think of the future of this Facebook company?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zou Ming sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and said slowly: "The main business of this company is very similar to our Xingkong Weibo. According to the development trend of our Xingkong Weibo, I believe this company's The future prospects should be good."

"But the reason why our Xingkong Weibo is so successful is because the boss is directing it, but this Facebook company does not have such talents as the boss."

Lin Feng didn't expose Zou Ming's flattery either.

"What do you think of Mark?"

Zou Ming didn't understand why Lin Feng suddenly changed the topic to Mark.

"Through my investigation of this company, it seems that this Mark is the founder and CEO of this company. He also has two founders, but they are both engaged in technology and have average management skills, so this company is all Mark. It was pulled up by one person."

"And from the fact that he just gave us an extra [-]% of the shares without blinking an eye, it can be seen that this person is not ordinary, at least not a narrow-minded person."

Lin Feng looked at Zou Ming in surprise. He never expected that he would have such a unique insight. From this, it can be seen that Zou Ming is no longer the junior college student who couldn't find a job in the talent market two years ago.

Zou Ming also noticed the way Lin Feng looked at him, and suddenly asked a little nervously: "Boss, did I say something wrong just now?"

Lin Feng smiled, reached out and patted Zou Ming's shoulder lightly.

"You didn't say anything wrong, I'm just surprised at your growth rate."

Zou Ming was confused by Lin Feng's nonsensical words.

"Don't worry, you've been with me for so long, have you seen any of my investments fail?"

"I dare to invest in this company like this, there must be a reason for me."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he took a last sip of coffee, stood up and left.

At this moment, Zou Ming did not leave with Lin Feng. After all, he still had other things to do. Sitting on the chair, Zou Ming kept savoring what Lin Feng said in his mind.

Lin Feng quickly got into the car driven by Zhao Tiezhu, turned around and saw Zou Ming who was still sitting in the cafe, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Feng didn't explain to Zou Ming why he was so optimistic about this Facebook company in country M. Could it be that this company had tens of billions of dollars when it went public in a few years, and the current valuation of only 100 billion dollars is simply too cheap?

Could it be that the market value of this company can be worth hundreds of billions of dollars in ten years, and now you only need to buy it at a low price, and then wait quietly to sell the stock at a high price ten years later?
Lin Feng would not be so stupid to tell others this, after all, being reborn once is his biggest secret, and this secret must never be known to the second person.

Although even if Lin Feng said that he was reborn, others would only think that he was a psychopath, but if someone really believed him, would he be arrested and dissected?

"Boss, where are we going now?"

After Zhao Tiezhu saw Lin Feng got into the car, he didn't say a word, so he looked at Lin Feng through the rearview mirror and asked about the next plan.

Hearing Zhao Tiezhu's words, Lin Feng recovered his senses and looked at him. When he was about to go back, he suddenly found a car behind him through the rearview mirror, which seemed to be following him all the time.

"Tie Zhu, speed up and see if the Mercedes behind us has been following us?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhao Tiezhu turned his head and glanced at the rearview mirror, and said lightly, "Boss, there's no need to try, I've noticed that car a long time ago, and it's been following us since you left the cafe."

Hearing Zhao Tiezhu's words, Lin Feng immediately wondered in his mind who sent this car. From this appearance, this car was obviously spying on him.

"Call Chen Dajun and let him deal with it."

Although Lin Feng didn't know who sent someone to monitor him, he knew that the other party must be his enemy. After all, Lin Feng didn't think that the government of country M sent police to secretly protect him and find the richest man in China.

Lin Feng is not polite to the enemy, since the other party has sent someone to monitor him so blatantly, then he can't do nothing, otherwise others will think that Lin Feng is easy to bully.
