In Li Mu's eyes, Mark Zuckerberg is a bug-like existence.

Not only because he is the youngest billionaire in the 10 billion dollar category, but also because of his super vision and ability in his entrepreneurial career.

The key is that until 2013, Mark Zuckerberg's shareholding in Facebook was still able to stick to around 30%, which is much stronger than these forty or fifty-year-old Internet giants in China, so he can surpass all the founders of domestic Internet companies in terms of personal assets, which is also where he is quite awesome.

Countless reborn people who appear in the novel will not miss hugging Mark Zuckerberg's thighs, and the way of hugging his thighs is also strange, some people went to the other side of the ocean to invest in him at the beginning of Facebook's establishment, and some people even went to the United States to find him and become friends with him before Facebook was established, but Li Mu didn't think so.

First of all, if we wait for Facebook to be founded, and then go to the United States to invest in Mark Zuckerberg, it is logically unreasonable, there are so many Internet companies in the United States, and so many enterprises and projects are born in Silicon Valley every day, how can a Chinese person go all the way to find a Harvard college student and take the initiative to invest money in him? It is estimated that even Mark Zuckerberg will be taken aback.

Moreover, it is not so easy for Chinese people to invest in American entrepreneurship, especially when it comes to the issue of corporatization, it is very troublesome to invest money directly, and the other party may not be happy to accept it, the most important thing is to have a company in the United States with perfect registration and complete procedures, and throw millions of dollars on the account, and see a good project directly in the name of the company to sign a contract with the investee, so that it is much more convenient and formal.

Reckless investment is not suitable, and it is not safe to make an upfront investment, Mark Zuckerberg was first a student at Harvard University, and then had the idea of entrepreneurship in school, becoming an entrepreneur, he developed from a student to an entrepreneur who gave birth to the idea of Facebook, which is the established route that history has long planned, if he does not intervene in advance, then Mark Zuckerberg, who is far away across the ocean, will definitely advance according to his original rhythm, and he will definitely establish facemash in 2003The Facebook idea will be born at the end of 2003 and will be realized in 2004.

Well, the most critical link is finally here.

Since Li Mu did not interfere with Mark Zuckerberg to follow his established line, then he would definitely try to buy the Facebook domain name at the beginning of the business, and the owner of this domain name quoted 10,000 US dollars that year, which scared off Mark Zuckerberg, who was still just a poor student, if this domain name was in his own hands, wait until the end of 2003, At the beginning of 2004, Mark Zuckerberg will definitely contact himself to try to buy a domain name, and Li Mu's ultimate goal is not to sell this domain name to him at the end of 03, but to take this opportunity to invest in him directly.

Li Mu's mind sorted out the time nodes of Facebook's development.

In February 2004, Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook was launched, starting with Harvard and gradually spreading to other universities.

In September 2004, Mark Zuckerberg received Facebook's first angel investment, PayPal founder Peter Thiel's investment of $500,000, and at that time, Facebook had already demonstrated its extraordinary ability to expand.

Li Mu's mind couldn't help but make up a picture.

If you pull the timeline to one day in 2003, Mark Zuckerberg, who was taking a class in a classroom at Harvard University and deserted, finally thought of the Facebook idea when he bit the 58th pencil head, and then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was really great and feasible, so he struggled until the end of class, and rushed to the dormitory. He turned on the computer, ready to go to the proxy website for domain name registration, and preemptively registered the domain name Facebook, he didn't know if this domain name had been registered, but he must have silently hoped that this domain name was still pending registration.

When he filled in the domain name query box, the top-level domain name of facebook.com, and then, he was distressed to find that the day is a dog! I have such a genius idea, and it will be taken by others first, it seems that the phrase Facebook is not the first person to think of it, and someone who is hoarding domain names with a dictionary has thought of this phrase before.

Then, he couldn't wait to see what the hell this Facebook.com was.

After opening it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, because there was nothing on this page, only one sentence: "The domain is available for sale." "Then there is an MSN that is used as a link.

"It turned out to be a ghost who was a domain name. ”

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg breathed a sigh of relief, he would not immediately think of registering Thefacebook, he would think: "This kind of domain name, it shouldn't sell for much money, right? A few thousand dollars will go to the top, if you cut the price, maybe it can be cheaper, he will definitely not be like me, he will be able to combine the concept of college students' high-quality social networking sites with the slightly weird phrase Facebook!"

Then, Mark Zuckerberg added this MSN.

At this time, Li Mu, who had been waiting for Mark Zuckerberg for two years, went online with a sinister smile.

Mark Zuckerberg said on MSN: "Hello sir, I want to buy your Facebook domain name. ”

"Oh, how much are you willing to pay?"

"I think $500 for such a domain name would be a good offer. ”

Li Mu sent him a laughing expression: "I'm sorry, I'm actually not too inclined to sell this domain name, I'm more inclined to use it to make a social network, starting with college, and I'm already starting to prepare, I'm going to take a few million dollars out to play at the beginning." ”

"I'm a dog!!"

Think about it, what does Mark Zuckerberg think when he hears his idea being told by someone with a Facebook domain name?

It's over, this person is ahead of himself in everything, and most importantly, people have money, and people are willing to invest millions of dollars to test the waters.

There is a big difference between people who have money and people who don't have money to start a business.

If entrepreneurship is likened to wanting to start a large car rental company, then what the rich have to do is to buy a bunch of cars and then build an operation team;

The approach of the rich is: first find a cheapest way to save a car, and then try to save one or two out first, the process of saving is how laborious it is, needless to say, the procurement of various parts, the purchase of their own DIY that cannot be purchased or cannot be afforded, and then matched, do various tests.

After this series of work is done, he has finally proved that he can save one or two cars, and at this time, if an investor recognizes the car they have saved, they will invest a sum of money and let them save another batch, which is the legendary angel round investment.

Get angel investment and save a certain amount, but it is far from enough to operate a real large car rental company, and then find someone to invest in the second one, which is a round A financing;

Finally, the A round was melted, and I barely saved enough quantity, and then I started to build a better operation team at this time......

That's almost half a century slower than the rich, that is, the tortoise and the hare race, and if the hare doesn't make a big mistake, the tortoise will never catch up with him.

Although the metaphor is not very appropriate, but the whole Internet entrepreneurship is like this, if Ma Yun won the domestic market vacuum when he founded Alibaba, if someone directly took tens of millions to do the same thing with him, he may have failed at the beginning.

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg was already discouraged, he didn't know what to do all of a sudden, and it might take a few days to think about it, but it was more likely to give up the idea of starting a business.

Just when he was at a loss, Li Mu suddenly asked him: "By the way, can you tell me what you want this domain name to do?"

"Me?" said Mark Zuckerberg to himself, "I want to make a social networking site too, but right now, I think I might need to think about it." ”

Li Mu suddenly said very generously: "Everyone actually thought of going together, this is really fate, in fact, we have the opportunity to sit down and talk about this common idea of you and me, if the concept is the same, I can give you the domain name, and then invest you a sum of money, and you will help me complete this plan, after all, I am too busy, and I want to do something else and hand it over to others, I am afraid that he will not understand my plan." ”

"Really?" Mark Zuckerberg finds it hard to imagine that someone would be willing to vote for a nobody like himself, but the other party has a good reason, you can think of going with me, which proves that you are very close to my mindset, if you are capable, I can rest assured that I will invest in you.

Li Mu smiled: "Of course it's true, it's just that I have something to do recently, I want to go to Cambridge, Massachusetts, I don't know where you are? When I come back from Cambridge, we can make an appointment to meet somewhere, and then I can ask my assistant to book you a round-trip ticket." ”

Mark Zuckerberg is actually at Harvard University, and Harvard University is in Cambridge.

Therefore, it is conceivable that when he hears this sentence, he will probably believe in fate like the Chinese people, and he will go crazy with excitement......

"Oh my God, sir, I'm in Cambridge! Actually, I'm a Harvard student! If you're in Cambridge, can we take the time to meet?"

"My God, this is really the miracle of the Creator! How can there be so many coincidences and coincidences in us? This is so fateful! No matter what, I must meet you, so you wait for my news, and I will contact you when I get to Cambridge." ”

"This is really God's will, then I will wait for you in Cambridge!"

"OK, wait for me, boy!"

This is Li Mu's complete concept, to summarize it simply, it can be called: domain name on stage, fate singing.

Subsequently, Li Mu was sure that no matter where he was at the time and what he was doing, the first thing he had to do was to buy a plane ticket to Cambridge...... (To be continued.) )
