Reborn Millennial Gamer

San Francisco Chinatown, Royal Food Garden Sichuan Restaurant.

Lu Fei and Ivanka wore masks and came to the appointed box in a low-key manner. There were faint scars on their necks from last night's battle, and they were stained with red. The "Silicon Valley Iron Man" reluctantly defeated the Black Widow and Scarlet who had joined forces to fight against each other. Witch.

When he pushed the door open, he saw Zuckerberg and his wife getting up.

"Nihu, Lu."

Speaking in broken Chinese, he introduced his wife, Priscilla Chen, emphasizing that she was Chinese-American.

"Hey, Chen."

Facing her enthusiasm, Lu Fei shook hands cordially.

Ivan Kapi was smiling, and took advantage of the gap between them to sit down and whispered, "Chen is not Chinese, he is Vietnamese. Technically speaking, he is Asian. They are so deliberate, be careful..."

"hehe."

Lu Fei gently patted the back of her hand and pretended to be confused, "Mark, your wife speaks Chinese very well, surpassing other Chinese-Americans I have met."

"Haha, she has always liked Chinese culture, which has also influenced me. I am planning to learn Chinese recently and hired a private tutor." Zuckerberg raised a bright smile.

"It's good to learn Chinese."

Lu Fei opened the menu and discussed with them and ordered a table of spicy crab, boiled fish, white meat with garlic paste, and spicy chicken.

"I also want to go to China. In addition to walking around and appreciating the exotic scenery, I also want to bring Facebook to China for development and integrate Chinese netizens into the world social platform created by Facebook. Lu, what do you think of this plan? Sample?"

Zuckerberg pulls the tab off a Coke can.

"That's right."

Lu Fei nodded, "If Facebook wants to continue to expand the total number of users, it must capture the Asian market, and to capture the Asian market, it must first capture the Chinese market."

Zuckerberg smiled on the outside, but felt miserable in his heart.

After all, China is the last big market that Line has not touched. It started from Bangzi, and with the momentum of giants such as Logic, Samsung, and Penguin, it has swept across Southeast Asia and spread across Eastern and Western Europe. Compared with Facebook's market share, it is 73% and 64%. Open, 50-50 open...

Only in the domestic market of the United States is Facebook dominant.

"I want to remind you that if you want to set the Chinese market as Facebook's next target, the key is to understand and respect China." Lu Fei said seriously, "Google, Yahoo, eBay, and so many American Internet giants just don't have it. If we do this and do not sincerely serve the Chinese market, we will fail to succeed in China."

"Lu, you are right. I will seriously learn from their lessons. Regarding Facebook's entry into the Chinese market, I may have to ask you for help more often in the future."

Zuckerberg raised his Coke.

Bang, the cans collided.

"I will help if I can."

Lu Fei had a smile on his lips.

"Where's Line?"

Priscilla Chen mentioned it abruptly.

"List!"

With a straight face, Zuckerberg accused her of being too talkative, and then apologized and said, "Haha, don't get me wrong, Lu."

Lu Fei watched quietly as the couple sang the double act.

"This is also my fault. While sleeping, Chen occasionally heard complaints about Line from my mouth, so that's why he said this."

Zuckerberg smiled pitifully and bitterly: "After all, Lu, you are Facebook's largest individual shareholder besides me, and your Penguin is Facebook's biggest rival, Line's largest shareholder."

"I understand, I completely understand, that Facebook did not get any benefits from Line in the Southeast Asian and European markets."

Lu Fei crossed his hands and closed his fists.

"Yes, although the logic supports Facebook, it also supports Line. However, mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung, Google, and HTC only support Line, and they are at a disadvantage in the mobile phone hardware channel, which has caused us to suffer a big loss in the European and Asian market promotion. "

Zuckerberg’s eyes were filled with resentment, and he deliberately didn’t mention penguins.

"I know Facebook has difficulties, but I cannot be biased. I am not only a shareholder of Facebook and Line, but also Twitter, and even the major shareholder of New Wolf Weibo, your biggest rival in China in the future."

Lu Fei turned over his hands, "My left and right hands are both hands, and the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, so I must be fair. I will not interfere in the management of one party just because it is beneficial to one of them, and I will not treat one party just because it is beneficial to the other. It’s bad for the other side.”

"..."

Zuckerberg's smile froze, and his wishful thinking failed.

When Facebook enters China, it seems that Lu Fei won’t be of much help.

As soon as it stopped, the harmonious and harmonious atmosphere became solemn and dull in the deathly silence, falling from the hotbed into the ice cellar.

At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.

Ivanka gave him a good tip and sent him away. Lu Fei's voice suddenly came to her ears, "Give me the agreement."

"I know that Facebook has been badmouthed by the media and Wall Street, and I will stand by you. I also know that small shareholders within Facebook have jointly proposed a recall proposal. I will still stand by you. This is my manner."

Lu Fei winked, and Ivanka handed over the contract.

"Lu, this is also the management's suggestion."

Zuckerberg showed a rare look of embarrassment when he saw the voting agreement he distributed to shareholders.

In order to ensure that Facebook is still in his hands after the listing, he not only added C shares to the AB shareholding structure, that is, the shares issued this time, only have economic rights such as dividends, and do not enjoy any voting rights.

Even more, come up with this voting agreement.

Let the majority shareholders agree to vote on behalf of their shares. If all goes well, they will only hold 24% of the shares, but they will have 56.9% of the say, and Lu Fei——

This second shareholder is the key among the keys!

"Understand, understand."

Lu Feiyang raised his hand, "Take a look."

Zuckerberg suppressed his excitement and opened the agreement, only to see the name "Ivanka" added to the signature column.

"This this……"

He looked at Lu Fei in shock and then at Ivanka.

"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

Lu Fei glanced at her and said, "Let me introduce you. From now on, I will authorize her to be the director of Facebook's board of directors on a long-term basis."

Zuckerberg immediately understood and toasted Ivanka.

"Mark, Lu has great confidence in your abilities and performance, and believes that you can lead Facebook to become better and better."

Ivanka drank the juice with a smile.

"Lu, I won't say more. You are the shareholder who owns the most B shares besides me, and you are also the shareholder who owns the most shares besides me. I guarantee that Facebook is still willing to provide what you can within the scope of its authority. any help.”

Zuckerberg stared at them meaningfully.

"cheers."

Lu Fei and Ivanka looked at each other and raised the corners of their mouths.

"cheers!"

Everyone looked at each other and clinked glasses.

As if the cold scene just now had never happened, we were eating, drinking, chatting, and gathered around Facebook.

The cups and plates are in a mess, and the banquet is over and everyone has dispersed.

Separating from Zuckerberg, Lu Fei took Ivanka's hand and got into the car. His fake smile instantly fell down and became gloomy.

"I can't believe you handed over Facebook's voting rights so easily." Ivanka said in disbelief.

"If I don't give it, he will fight for it. Why fight to the point of breaking up in the end? It's too ugly. It's better to make a deal and get you the greatest authority on Facebook." Lu Fei raised his lips, "Look, although I didn’t become the chairman of the board, but didn’t I get the position of vice chairman of Facebook?”

"It's just part-time. It's too easy to sideline me. Besides, his voting rights exceed 50%. The board of directors is his decision-making body. Whether to remove him or not is not a matter of his words."

Ivanka rolled her eyes.

"This seat is enough."

Lu Fei put his arm around her shoulders. "Why?"

Ivanka was puzzled.

“Because Facebook’s rise has already reached its ceiling, unlike companies such as Penguin, Microsoft, Apple, and Google, Facebook is likely to be a social media giant that has reached its peak of development before going public and cannot maintain its peak for a few years. "

Lu Fei's tone was full of determination.

"No way? You don't like Facebook either?"

Ivanka blinked in disbelief.

"The fact that Facebook has a market value of hundreds of billions is purely a bubble caused by the US dollar's quantitative easing and the return of foreign capital to US stocks. If you think about it, can Facebook be so strong that it can stabilize Wechat, Twitter, Instagram and Line? Lu Fei said with a smile.

Ivanka pondered for a while and shook her head.

"Look, even Line, which has Instagram and Penguin as a shareholder, can't conquer the Chinese market. Can Facebook do it?"

Lu Fei curled his lips, "Markets such as Southeast Asia and Europe have slowly become red oceans. How much more can Facebook compete with? When the time comes, when users become more and more tired of this kind of social trick, it will be the beginning of the collapse of Facebook. So If he wants the right to vote, give it to him. As long as it meets my requirements, as long as it makes Facebook's market value bigger and allows us to cash out at a higher price, let him go."

"Will Line be the one to end Facebook? Should it be Twitter?"

There was hope in Ivanka's eyes. Line was given to the Li sisters by him. She couldn't take it away, but Twitter might not be able to fight for it.

After all, his dad uses Twitter the most.

"No, it's a short video."

Lu Fei said leisurely.

"Short video? What is a short video?"

Ivanka looked confused and touched her own knowledge blind spot.

"You'll know later."

Lu Fei showed a mysterious smile.

Today, Kuaishou has been officially established, but unlike the short video business in its previous life, it is now just a mobile application used to create and share GIF images, and it is called "GIF Kuaishou".

As for ByteDance, which promotes short videos, it is still working on its first product, Toutiao, which is far away from Douyin.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't possibly hand over the big killer "Douyin" to ByteDance, even if it holds the majority of the shares.

Zhang Yiming's legs and feet were too nimble and he knelt too quickly.

Unlike Mr. Lu, his legs and feet are not strong enough to kneel down.

So we prepared to join forces with ByteDance, Line, Penguin, and Feigou. ByteDance is responsible for domestic operations, and Line is responsible for overseas operations. Feigou focuses on live streaming to sell goods, and Penguin focuses on traffic social networking. The two Internet giants are manipulating behind the scenes. .

The United States and the European Union are playing dirty tricks, threatening Penguin and Feigou like dismantling Microsoft in the name of antitrust laws.

…………

In the days to come, Lu Fei kept his promise.

Accompanying Zuckerberg, he appeared at cocktail parties of various IPO roadshows, frequently rectifying Facebook’s name, giving Facebook a high profile, offsetting the badmouthing from the media and Wall Street, and at the same time promoting Ivanka, the new face. Write to the vice chairman and introduce him.

As one of the most powerful women in Hollywood and an upstart with deep connections in Silicon Valley, her status in the Donkey Party has naturally increased. Even Hillary has to get close to her.

Also rising is the IPO of Facebook.

Finally, it’s time to officially launch on May 5th.

"It's all arranged. Let's finish the celebration here early and go back early. They'll also prepare one for you at home."

Ivanka walked into the exchange in a hurry.

Of course Lu Fei knew that the "them" he was talking about were Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi, and he couldn't help but feel restless.

However, nothing compares to Zuckerberg.

The whole person was pacing back and forth in the lounge arranged by Nasdaq, so nervous that he didn't even notice Lu Fei.

"Hey, Huaxia Lu."

John Waldron's voice came from behind, and beside him stood Robert, the current CEO of Nasdaq.

"I appreciate your ambition, especially since Yangtze Memory has completed two world-class acquisitions in just three years, overtaking Samsung and becoming the number one memory chip giant!"

The gray-haired Robert clicked his tongue in praise.

"you do not say."

John Waldron couldn't help but feel sour when he thought that Goldman Sachs was not involved in the financing of Yangtze River Storage.

"I very much hope that Yangtze Memory can be listed on Nasdaq." Robert smiled. "Until now, Lu, none of your companies has been listed here. We are looking forward to it."

"I will think about it."

Spotify is obviously listed on Nasdaq, but Lu Fei pretended not to remember and did not reveal it to his face.

"here we go!"

Zuckerberg immediately sat at the front, staring at the computer screen and stroking his curly hair with his hands.

"Don't be nervous, Mark, we will succeed."

Lu Fei held his shoulders.

"Yes, yes."

Zuckerberg took a deep breath.

They still had to pass the first stage of call auction before the market opened. Seeing the price of $38, a few minutes later, the first purchase order appeared, followed closely by the second and third orders...

Surprising!

The whole link is weird!

The 15-minute bidding time ended, and the IPO stopped at US$43.5, which was neither bad nor good. Although Zuckerberg was disappointed, he calmed down with Lu Fei's comfort.

Just as everyone was about to ring the bell, a voice broke out from the crowd: "What's going on! What's going on!"

All of a sudden, it attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Fei took a closer look and his heart skipped a beat.

Nasdaq's trading program is malfunctioning!

"Don't panic, it's just a minor problem and it will be restored soon." Robert's face was full of astonishment. This rare accident in ten years happened at such a critical moment when Facebook went public.

"how much longer?"

Zuckerberg’s entire face was twitching with nervousness.

"Right away, right away."

Robert was so excited that he made a phone call.

Having said that, 20 minutes passed.

Facebook still doesn’t show the opening price!

Such a long period of time is enough to put investors into a state of confusion. They have no way of knowing how many Facebook shares they bought and sold at what price. They even cannot sell the shares when the stock price drops. It is like a basin of cold water that dampens everyone's enthusiasm.

In an instant, the room was in an uproar and the scene was chaotic.

"Why don't you look nervous at all?"

Ivanka grabbed the man's arm uneasily.

"Does being nervous help?"

Lu Fei comforted him: "Anyway, we are ready to hold Facebook for a long time. This kind of small change has nothing to do with us."

Ivanka's eyes shone with admiration, and she caught a glimpse of Zuckerberg grabbing Robert by the collar and angrily charging him.

"Hey, with what Nasdaq looks like, it seems that Nasdaq will be removed from Yangtze Memory's listing candidate list."

Lu Fei looked on with cold eyes and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
