Chapter 468 - Joining Facebook (Fifth Update)

It's 2004 in a blink of an eye.

On the morning of January 1, Shanda Group held a press conference to release the "Shanda IM" software.

Media reporters and industry insiders were surprised!

Countless Internet companies have died tragically under the sickle of Tencent QQ, and Shanda Group is "not afraid of death"!

"Shanda Group is awesome, this is to compete with Tencent!"

"Hehe, Shanda Group is not self-sufficient, thinking that it will be awesome if it gets the investment of SoftBank, but I don't know that this is looking for death!!"

But I have to say that Shanda Group has developed very smoothly in recent years, "Legend of Blood", "Legend World" and "Bubble Hall" are all very popular, and Shanda Group has made a lot of money. Naturally, its ambitions have also grown. ”

"The IM released by Shanda Group is mainly for players to communicate with games, and this kind of differentiated competition may really make Shanda IM develop!" said an industry veteran.

After the press conference, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in distant Hawaii, at this time, the scenery is picturesque, the climate is pleasant, and there are many people who come here for vacation. This Christmas holiday, Li Zetian accompanied his family to vacation here. When he heard that Shanda Group had developed IM, he didn't say anything, just laughed.

Hehe, how can Shanda Group be Tencent's opponent?

Li Zetian is naturally very relieved to vacation here, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, basking in the sun, blowing the sea breeze, how comfortable life is.

When the weather is nice, they go out to sea to fish.

In the evening, barbecue on the beach and eat the fish you caught.

William and Youran are now busy people, and they haven't been in Hawaii for a few days before quitting and going to work. Fortunately, there are two wives and cute little ones by Li Zetian's side, and they are not lonely.

On February 4, Mark Zuckerberg created a social networking site at Harvard University called FacetoFace, and he originally wanted to register a Facebook domain name, but unfortunately someone had already registered it, which made him depressed.

At the same time, he also knew that there was a person at Stanford University who had made a similar social networking site to him and became a competitor.

"Who founded Facebook at Stanford?" Mark Zuckerberg didn't say he sympathized, but he was a little curious.

When William created Facebook, his identity was not revealed.

If people knew that Facebook's founder was the son of Chronosli, the world's richest man, Facebook would have won easily by attracting a lot of media attention. But that wasn't what he wanted. He wants to prove his abilities to the world, not relying on his father's connections.

Well, that's a bit of a lie. The start-up capital of $5 million is still different from other self-made entrepreneurs.

The new semester of American universities has begun, Facebook has become popular at Stanford University, and more and more Stanford college students know about Facebook, and a week after the start of school, Facebook has more than 3,500 registered users. In total, Stanford has just over 18,900 students.

"Mars, do you know Facebook? A lot of people in school use Facebook, and I heard that the goddess in our class, Liz Croning, also uses it, and she also posts a lot of sexy photos, which causes a lot of perverts to drool!" A man with glasses ran in from outside the Stanford University boys' dormitory and immediately said to a boy who was writing code.

"Oh my God, my goddess Liz Cronin has sent a lot of sexy photos!!" Mars looked up at each other, his expression was surprised, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his eyes were full of excitement, "Dika, what is Facebook?!I want to see Liz Cronin's picture!"

"Hehe, you can google it!"

"Oh. Mars suddenly responded, quickly opened the webpage, and searched for Facebook.

"Damn, if you don't register as a user, you can't actually view Facebook's content!" Mars scolded, crackling, and quickly registered an account. While registering, he learned about the website, knowing that the website implements a real-name system, and if he wants to find Liz Croning, he only needs to search for her name on Facebook.

"This site is good!" Mars said inwardly to Facebook with a thumbs up.

Soon, Mars found Liz Cronin's page and looked at the photos she had posted.

"Wow! Bulging and backward, with a plump and fat ass, this figure is almost crazy for the devil!!" Mars only felt his breath short, and his little brother tended to look up.

"Damn, so many people have left messages, I even saw several boys in my class!" Mars was upset, and he quickly left a message, Liz Cronin, Liz Cronin, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice. Well, translated into Chinese, that's probably what it means.

After reading Facebook, Marsgracie turned to look at Decca and asked, "Decca, do you know who created Facebook? I want to join this team!"

Decca shook her head, "I don't know, but you can contact the other person through the phone number left on the website." ”

"Oh, yes!!!" Mars exclaimed, immediately took out his phone, and dialed the contact information on the official website of the website.

After a while, Mars excitedly said, "Oh, that's great! They actually heard about me, I just called and said I wanted to go to Facebook, and they immediately agreed, and gave me an address, let me come tonight." Decca, do you want to join Facebook with me?"

Decca shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mars, my goal is to join big companies like Apple, Google, and IBM after graduation!"

"Oh, what a cool site Facebook is, it's a shame you don't come!" Mars sighed. In Mars's opinion, it is better to work in a large company than to do what interests you.

That night, Malst dressed up, put on a suit, and went to a small building in the school.

Knock knock!

Mars knocked on the door, and a moment later a young man walked in. Mars looked at the other party, and couldn't help but be surprised, the person in front of him was the man of the year at Stanford University, the computer genius Wayne Tree!

"Wayne Terry!!" Mars called out his name directly.

Wayne Terry smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Welcome to Facebook, Mars Gracie!"

"It's my pleasure!" Mars shook his hand and asked, "You created Facebook?"

Wayne Terry smiled and shook his head, "You'll find out who it is later!"

"Oh~" Mars was even more curious at this time, Wayne Tree is a computer genius at Stanford University, many large companies ask him to be invited, last time IBM offered an annual salary of $600,000, but was rejected by Wayne Tree, what kind of person made Wayne Tree willing to work for him?

Walking into this small building, Mars became more and more excited and curious.

At this time, he came to a hall that was decorated very similar to the office halls of many companies.

"That's where Facebook works!" Mars said to himself.

"Mars, please come with me, the boss is waiting for you on the second floor. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

After a while, Mars followed Wayne Tree up to the second floor, and then stopped in front of a glass door.

"Let's go inside. ”

"Hmm. ”

Mars pushed the door open and entered, inside was a lavishly decorated private office, a man sitting in a chair with his back to him, and when he turned around, Mars finally saw him.
