Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 128 Brothers talk in detail
Through the conversation, Zhang Yuanjun learned that the elder brother's girlfriend has a lot of background.

Born in 80, she is the same age as her eldest brother, but at the age of 25, she is already the deputy general manager of UT Starcom.

The university is at MIT, and I also studied computers, but my learning ability is much stronger than that of my elder brother.

Graduated with a master's degree at the age of 20, and did not engage in computer work after that-at that time, the global Internet bubble burst, and many people gave up.

Instead, he went to McKinsey as a management consultant, and has since been working in the market and financial fields.

Zhang Yuanjun teased his elder brother: "Then you are much better than my boss, you have become a manager, and he is still studying."

Li Yingdao: "Your brother is not good at marketing, but he is good at technology. I can't write codes better than Brother Ni."

"Then how did you two meet?" Zhang Yuanjun asked curiously.

This kind of talk has to be said by boys. Zhang Leping took the words: "Actually, we have known each other for a long time. The circle of overseas students is so big, and we are studying the same major. Last year when we participated in a conference, we met again. We hit it off while chatting, and we got together smoothly."

"Last year?" Zhang Yuanjun said quickly, "Then you still go on a blind date?"

Zhang Yuanjun clearly remembered that his mother had arranged for him to have a blind date with the Secretary-General's daughter last year.

Li Ying's tone was wrong: "Huh? Have you ever been on a blind date?"

Zhang Leping blamed his younger brother: "You are the only one with a mouth." Then he explained, "I just met that girl, had a meal, and then we lost contact."

"Was that before or after we got together?"

"Before. I confessed my love to you within two days after the kiss."

At present, it seems that the eldest brother and this girlfriend get along very well.

Zhang Yuanjun also explained when he returned home.

After dinner, the two brothers chatted on the balcony.

"My parents will be 8 in August, so you really don't want to go back?" Zhang Yuanjun said.

"I really can't go back," Zhang Leping also wanted to go back, "I have a lot of trouble with my partners here. Once I leave, who knows what they will come up with."

"You said before that you invested in the project, what did you do?"

"You don't understand it."

"If I don't understand, just tell me. Sometimes a layman can give you some advice."

Perhaps because of the long-standing depression that could not be expressed, Zhang Leping really talked to his younger brother about the project he was doing.

This is a website called Facebook.

A social networking site jointly developed by Zhang Leping and two other partners.

He contributed some money, but he was mainly in charge of technology, and had the least share among the three partners.

The website developed rapidly, and the three partners were very happy, thinking that they were about to succeed.

But here lies the problem. The founder named Zuckerberg, who holds the most shares, wanted to monopolize the control of the website after the website became popular, and began to clean up the partners.

He was the joint eldest brother first, and began to attack Saverin, who held the second shareholding. At the beginning of this year, he successfully diluted Saverin's shares to less than 10%, and Saverin lost control of the company.

Zuckerberg now owns more than 60% of the company, and Zhang Leping a little over 20%.

"My little share is actually not a threat to him, but he has been acting very frequently recently. Your sister Ying said that he will not let me take so many shares. He will definitely attack me by the end of this year at the earliest, and next year at the latest." Zhang Leping took a deep breath, "I wrote the underlying code of the website."

Zhang Yuanjun really didn't have any good ideas after hearing this. He knew that Facebook would fly into the sky, but he really couldn't grab this piece of meat from Zuckerberg.

"How much is 20% of the shares in your hand worth?" Zhang Yuanjun asked.

"Hundreds of thousands." Zhang Leping said, "This website is very popular with the outside world, but the price cannot be estimated now."

Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while, and said, "Keep it. He wants to kick you out of the company, so you fight him. How can you make him happy? If he used the trick of diluting shares on Saverin, he wouldn't use it on you. Sister Ying is in this business, so you should listen to her opinion more."

Even if Zhang Yuanjun doesn't say anything, Zhang Leping will not give up Facebook shares easily.

"If he wants the shares in your hand, you delay. You are the second largest shareholder. As long as you don't take the initiative to sign, he can't do anything about you. If you don't want you, you won't be here. If you can't, you can go back to China. Can he still find a home?

"We're not in a hurry. It's been a long time. He is the one who is in a hurry. We just invested tens of thousands of dollars. If we lose money, we will lose it. It doesn't matter."

In fact, this is also the countermeasure that Zhang Leping and Li Ying have discussed at the moment. If you can delay it, try to deal with Zuckerberg as much as possible.

Zuckerberg just cleared Saverin out of the company, and he is still in the honeymoon period, so he will not do anything to him for the time being.

Zhang Yuanjun continued: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Without Facebook, don't you know how to do something else?"

"This kind of thing is hard to come by." Zhang Leping also hopes that his technology will be useful. "Sometimes it takes a genius idea to meet the needs of the market."

If you need an idea, Zhang Yuanjun has it.

"Brother, do you have a blog?"

Zhang Leping wanted to look at his younger brother like a fool.

"I mean, we can do a short text blog site..."

Next, Zhang Yuanjun told Zhang Leping everything he knew about Weibo.

But what Zhang Yuanjun knew was very limited, but he still understood the basic framework.

In order to convince his eldest brother, Zhang Yuanjun introduced it as Weibo, and explained: "Isn't there a handheld computer now? When it becomes popular in the future, the cost will come down. Everyone will have one such handheld computer, and everyone will use this kind of thing to surf the Internet. It must be inconvenient to read things on such a small screen. We make this kind of short-text blog, which just fits the future market demand."

Zhang Yuanjun didn't say that the future will be dominated by mobile phones, but used the popular handheld computer as an example.

Of course, the mobile phone will directly kill the handheld computer.

But the basic concept of mobile Internet can be explained clearly with a handheld computer.

"He won't let you do Facebook, you just do this kind of small blog, and don't interfere with anyone else."

Zhang Leping just thought the idea was not bad at the moment, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

After talking about Zhang Leping's career, the two talked about Zhang Yunjun's movies.

"Everything is okay, the cost is not high, and the first film is a success if it does not lose money. If we open up the situation, I will be able to take on the role later."

But Zhang Leping really didn't understand movies, so he was at a loss when he heard it, so he asked him: "You will graduate next year, what do you plan to do?"

Zhang Yuanjun pondered for a while, then replied: "Let's continue acting. Next year "The Legend of Condor Heroes" will be broadcast. There should be a lot of films to look for. There should be no shortage of plays in two or three years."

"Okay, as long as you have a plan. Do you have enough money on your body?"

"Don't worry about me. I'm still worried that you don't have enough money when you eat alone." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.

"Get out," Zhang Leping said with a smile, "Li Ying works in finance and is a rich woman, richer than me."

Zhang Yuanjun jokingly said: "I'm going to die, the boss of the Zhang family has been taken care of by someone."
