Chapter 1078: The Great Fool of the East

The spring breeze is proud, and it is actually very applicable to Zhao Fusheng or Evan Williams.

Because now they are all successful in their careers.

Although it is not the group of people who stand at the top of this world, compared to most ordinary people, it is already very successful.

And the more such people are, they are naturally arrogant in their bones.

So after hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Evan Williams' first reaction was that this guy was probably crazy.

Could it be that he doesn't know who he is, and wants to make himself work for him?

And after Zhao Fusheng said that he hoped to cooperate with him, Evan Williams felt even more ridiculous.

"Friends from the East, do you think that if I want to start a business, no one will invest in me? Or do you think I can't get the funds to start a business myself?" Evan Williams looked at Zhao Fusheng with a ridiculous face.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "Mr. Williams, I think you misunderstood what I meant. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Fusheng took a sip of the coffee in front of him, then pursed his lips and smiled: "I mean, I hope you can continue to develop technology in the direction of instant sharing tools." Of course, I'm not going to hire you, because I'm interested in it, but my business involves a lot of things, so I want to work with you. ”

Evan Williams listened to Zhao Fusheng's words, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak immediately.

As a high-IQ elite, he is smarter than others think, to be precise, in the eyes of Evan Williams, the Oriental man in front of him should be telling the truth.

But because of this, Evan Williams feels strange, you know, in the American market, there are too many instant sharing tool products, even Evan Williams himself is not very confident in this market, otherwise, he would not sell the company he founded to Google and come to work at Google.

No one likes to sell the company they've worked so hard to build to someone else.

In a sense, Evan Williams couldn't see through the young man in front of him, whether he was really interested in this aspect, or whether he was deliberately testing himself.

"Sorry, I guess, we don't have much to talk about. Evan Williams glanced at Zhao Fusheng suspiciously, and finally stood up and said.

Obviously, although he was interested in Zhao Fusheng's words, he felt that there was no need to continue chatting.

Zhao Fusheng smiled, also stood up, took out a business card, handed it to Evan Williams and said: "This is my business card, if one day, you want to start a business from Google, you can consider calling me." ”

Saying that, he smiled softly and said, "By the way, have you heard of Sean Parker?"

β€œhatοΌŸβ€

Evan Williams was already planning to leave, but when he heard Zhao Fusheng's words, he stopped and turned to look at Zhao Fusheng: "Do you know Sean Parker?"

"In fact, just a few days ago, we had dinner together and I convinced him to join Facebook and become my collaborator. Zhao Fusheng said slowly with a faint smile on his face.

"Facebook, that dating site?" Surprisingly, Evan Williams had actually heard the name of Facebook, and looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise: "You are the founder of that website?"

"NONO, EVAN, YOU MISUNDERSTOOD. Zhao Fusheng raised his finger and shook it: "I'm not the founder of Facebook, that's what Mark Zuckerberg did, I'm just a businessman, a businessman who understands the Internet." So I helped Mark when he first had the idea and invested some money into it. Luckily, the website is developing well, and my investment seems to be able to get a lot of returns, that's all. ”

Evan Williams sat back down.

Yes, after Zhao Fusheng said that he was the actual sponsor of Facebook, he decisively turned around and sat back down.

"Zhao, I'm sorry I wasn't being polite just now. Evan Williams spoke first, but his attitude was completely different from what he had just been.

Zhao Fusheng was a little baffled, and he didn't understand why this guy was so condescending.

But fortunately, Zhao Fusheng himself is not the kind of stingy person, and he is indeed optimistic about Evan Williams' talent and future, so he smiled and sat down as well: "Evan, I think, now you are willing to have a good chat with me, right?"

Evan Williams smiled: "A person who can convince Sean Parker to work for you, I think, shouldn't be a liar." ”

Only then did Zhao Fusheng understand that he had been making trouble for a long time, and he was regarded as a liar from Huaxia, and people didn't take him seriously at all.

But after thinking about it, I can also understand Evan Williams, somehow someone came to the door, opened his mouth to cooperate with him, and it was actually the instant sharing software in today's highly competitive market, and if it was me, I would also mutter in my heart.

It is estimated that if I hadn't mentioned Sean Parker, a well-known billionaire in the United States, and Evan Williams was in Google, I knew that Facebook, which is now famous among young people, I am afraid that this time I would have returned in vain.

But now, things have naturally changed, and it is clear that Evan Williams is not as repulsive as he appears, he is still an ambitious young man after all.

Evan Williams, who was born in '72 and is just thirty-three years old this year, is actually a person who aspires to success.

........................

........................

The atmosphere of the next conversation was much better than just now.

Williams, a self-described self-proclaimed "farmer boy from Nebraska who has always been very lucky," was, in his own words, born and raised on a farm that grew soybeans, corn and dairy cows. Attended the only public secondary school in the area, with only 14 students in his class, and he participated in everything from sports competitions to bands.

"Zhao, you know what? In such a small school, everyone does everything," Williams recalled with a smile at Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng naturally didn't know about this, but he could understand Williams's nostalgia for the past.

Everyone has their favorite years, it may be elementary school, it may be junior high school, it may be college.

"Evan, then you should be your father's greatest pride?" Zhao Fusheng said to Evan Williams with a smile.

"No, no, no, you're thinking too much. Evan Williams shook his head and said, "I'm a mediocre student, to be precise, a loser in the family, my father and brother both like farming and hunting, while I'm a vegetarian and prefer to read." Ever since I got into computers, I've been in love with them and dream of starting my own company every day. ”

"You know, when I was in college, I never chose my major, I didn't take as many classes as I could, and I didn't think that going to college was very important for running a company. I felt like going to college was a waste of time and I wanted to start working. Evan Williams said to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged, but did not speak, it was obvious that he was not very willing to interrupt this person's memories.

"My life has been a series of orchestrated coincidences. I've always suffered from excessive optimism. For more than a decade, I was close to bankruptcy. I remember when I started my first business, I didn't sleep all night and rummaged through the couch cushion the next morning, hoping to find a little change to buy a cup of coffee. I'm able to pay my dad back now, and that's good. ”

Evan Williams looked at Zhao Fusheng and said slowly: "You are a funder of Facebook, so you tell me, do you really plan to let me also make a social software for instant sharing?"

In a sense, Evan Williams is an extremely smart guy.

At the very least, he analyzed it from Zhao Fusheng's attitude that Zhao Fusheng valued himself very much.

And Zhao Fusheng, with a faint smile on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said calmly after listening to Evan Williams' question: "Evan, I hope you know that I actually only have one concept of the current idea in my mind, and I think that the person who can help me realize this concept should be you." ”

Just fooling people, Zhao Fusheng felt that his skills were no worse than any orator.
