At the reception, Li Mu and Anne Hathaway were surprisingly matched, as well as the CEO of Sequoia Capital, Steve Johnson.

Steve Johnson, who had been chatting with several bigwigs in the capital circle, had an idea in his heart after seeing Li Mu and Anne Hathaway unconsciously make intimate moves from afar.

Steve Johnson kept an eye on Li Mu, and saw that he had finished chatting with Spielberg and Anne Hathaway, and after leaving from several people, Steve Johnson walked up to Spielberg with a wine glass and said to him with a smile: "Steven, my friend is gone!"

Spielberg looked up and saw that it was him, and said with a surprised smile: "Hello Mr. Johnson, it's been a long time! ”

Steve Johnson smiled slightly and said, "Makino Technology is a partner of Sequoia, how can I not come to support such a big thing." ”

After that, Steve Johnson looked at Spielberg and asked, "I heard that you've been making movies in China recently?"

"That's right. Spielberg nodded and said, "I've been busy shooting movies lately." ”

Spielberg then introduced Steve Johnson, "Leonardo, Tom Hanks, and Anne Hathaway, you should know all about them, right?"

"Of course, of course. Steve Johnson said with a smile: "The three are very famous in Hollywood, and they are all actors that I like very much. ”

Spielberg hurriedly introduced the other three: "Steve Johnson, CEO of Sequoia Capital. ”

While Spielberg was introducing himself, Steve Johnson shook hands with the three of them one by one, people from Hollywood, who knew politicians and capitalists very well, so all three of them had heard of Steve Johnson's name.

Unlike the CEO of most professional managers, Steve Johnson himself is also one of the shareholders of Sequoia Capital, in addition, he himself also owns a number of private equity funds with outstanding achievements, and is very prestigious in the capital market。

Several people greeted Steve Johnson, and Steve Johnson responded very politely, and then focused his eyes on Anne Hathaway.

"Miss Anne, can I speak to you privately?"

Anne Hathaway didn't know why Steve Johnson had met for the first time, so she wanted to talk to her in private, but she nodded lightly out of politeness.

Steve Johnson apologized to the other three, then walked to a corner with Anne Hathaway, and then Steve Johnson asked her, "Miss Anne, I wonder if you would be interested in going to London for an intimate party next month?"

"Gathering?" Anne Hathaway looked at Steve Johnson in surprise, her expression uncertain.

Steve Johnson explained: "This party is a three-year black-tie held by members of the British royal family and some famous British nobles, inviting not only royalty and nobles from all over the world, but also some well-known big families and entrepreneurs. ”

Black-tie literally translates to black tie, but in high society, this represents a kind of party specifications, generally black-tie both men and women are to dress up, in high society, except for public occasions, this kind of party is the highest standard.

Anne Hathaway had heard of this kind of black-tie held by the British royal family and aristocracy when she was in Hollywood, and it was said that this kind of party was the world's top upper-class gathering, and she had never heard of any Hollywood movie stars invited to participate.

After all, European royalty and aristocrats themselves are somewhat out of step with the culture of the United States, and the former has looked down on the latter for centuries, and Steve Johnson suddenly invited herself, which really made her feel incredible.

However, Steve Johnson himself is British, born in an extremely powerful old aristocratic family in the United Kingdom, this world's top black-tie he has been participating in since he was an adult, and he has not fallen once, like his status, he is also qualified enough to invite his friends to the party, so if he invites Anne Hathaway, then Anne Hathaway can get the opportunity to party.

Seeing that Anne Hathaway was stunned, Steve Johnson explained: "Miss Anne, to tell you the truth, the reason why I want to invite you is because I am also going to invite Li Mu, and I think that if you will be there, Li Mu will have a better chance of accepting the invitation. ”

Anne Hathaway realized that Steve Johnson was a drunkard and didn't mean to drink.

However, instead of feeling disappointed, she felt a burst of joy in her heart, the meaning of Steve Johnson's words seemed to be that he felt that Li Mu would accept the invitation because of himself, and he said this, is there any basis for his own ignorance?

Steve Johnson saw that Anne Hathaway didn't speak for a long time, but her face turned red, and she knew even more, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "Miss Anne, you don't have to be too embarrassed, I have a meeting with Li Mu tonight, if you want, I can tell him the news that you will be there, if he still refuses, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go, I can understand it, and I will definitely keep it 100% confidential." ”

Anne Hathaway hesitated for a moment, nodded embarrassedly, and said, "Mr. Johnson, if Li Mu agrees, I have no problem......

……

Li Mu didn't pay attention to Steve Johnson, who was holding a wine glass at the moment and found Mark Zuckerberg alone in the corner.

In this cocktail party, except for Li Mu, the youngest is Mark Zuckerberg, and his personality is not as extroverted as Li Mu, so he seems a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

Everyone else was chatting in groups, and Mark Zuckerberg was standing alone in a corner with a non-alcoholic drink made from a glass of soda, looking around with nothing to do and an embarrassed smile on his face.

For Mark Zuckerberg, he is like a kid breaking into an adult club, and the confusion is his most obvious experience.

When Li Mu was chatting with Spielberg, he saw the dilemma of Mark Zuckerberg in the distance, and after greeting a few people for a while, he found an excuse to temporarily say goodbye and came to Mark Zuckerberg with a glass of whiskey.

When Mark Zuckerberg was bored, Li Mu suddenly appeared in his sight and asked him with a smile: "Hey Mark, what are you doing standing alone stupidly?"

Seeing that it was Li Mu, Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly scratched his head, smiled a little shyly and said, "I didn't do anything, I was just in a daze." ”

Li Mu asked him, "Why don't you go and chat with other people?"

Mark Zuckerberg laughed to himself and said, "I don't think I can talk to them." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Whether we can talk together or not, we have to talk before we know." ”

After that, Li Mu said: "Many of the people who came today are very famous people in Silicon Valley, as well as very famous bigwigs in the venture capital industry, if you are familiar with them, you may be able to get more help in many places in the future." ”

Mark Zuckerberg nodded lightly and said, "Then I'll try to talk to them later." ”

Li Mu instructed: "When chatting with others on this occasion, it is best not to drink non-alcoholic beverages, a glass of wine will appear more sincere, and it can also shorten the actual age gap." ”

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly said, "Then I'll go and ask for a glass of wine later." ”

Li Mu waved his hand, directly called a waiter over, and said to him, "Get this gentleman a glass of whiskey." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li. The waiter quickly walked over with a glass of about a quarter of whiskey and handed it to Mark Zuckerberg.

Li Mu picked up the wine glass, touched the wine glass in Mark Zuckerberg's hand slightly, then took a sip and asked him, "How is Facebook doing?"

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly took a sip of whiskey, he coughed for a long time, coughed until his face was flushed, and said to Li Mu: "Facebook has been developing very fast recently, according to Mr. Li's reminder, we deliberately strengthened and emphasized the search function on Facebook, which has been greatly recognized by users, and now our registered users have exceeded 5 million, and the daily active users have exceeded 600,000, compared with the last time you went to Harvard, it has increased fivefold." ”

Li Mu smiled: "It seems that you have found the way to go viral, and if you keep up the good work, I think you can have at least 2-3 million daily active users by the end of the year." ”

Mark Zuckerberg said: "Rapid promotion, the consumption of funds is also very large, and I am still exploring ways to monetize, if there is no good monetization channel, then the speed of development must be appropriately rational." ”

Li Mu asked him, "How much money has been spent?"

Mark Zuckerberg said: "Of the $6.02 million you and your fund have invested so far, $3.3 million has been spent, leaving $2.7 million. ”

Li Mu asked again: "How many employees are there at this stage?"

"Thirty-three. Mark Zuckerberg said, "Most of these people are promoters, and there is a technical team. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "If you are worried about money and feel that it is completely unnecessary, I can add another round of investment as Facebook's Pre-A round of financing." ”

Mark Zuckerberg said: "If I keep burning money, I always feel a little bottomless, because the larger the number of users, the higher the cost of the enterprise, and if the realization can't keep up, it is easy to fall into the situation of broken capital chain." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said: "The current Internet social networking, just like before the outbreak of real estate, not only the business growth rate is extremely fast, but the recognition of capital is also increasing rapidly, what you have to do now is to take the money in at all costs and exchange it for real estate, even if you spend all the money in your hand, even if you are in debt, it doesn't matter, because once the real estate skyrockets, you can immediately get huge profits." ”

Mark Zuckerberg hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "Mr. Li, you set a valuation for Facebook, and then increase the capital according to the valuation, I can't come up with cash, so dilute the shares instead of capital contribution." ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "In this round, I will directly add five million US dollars of investment, I don't need you to dilute the shares, and the share structure does not need to make any changes, you can just open up and do it after you get the money, as for the realization, you don't have to worry too much about it for the time being." ”

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, this is really unfair to you, since you have made additional investments, it is natural for me to dilute my shares......"

Li Mu smiled, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the company is controlled by me, so listen to me on this kind of issue." ”

After speaking, Li Mu said again: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet Larry Page, you two get to know each other, in the future, Facebook can be directly guided by the Google search engine, if you have any needs, just mention it to him." ”
