Winning in China has started in full swing, attracting many people to participate, Zhou Shi is also waiting for his own play, and at the same time, he is also stepping up the time to set up the legal department of Time Holdings, and there is no high-tech company without legal disputes. Whether offensive or defensive, the importance of the law is unquestionable.

However, Zhou Shi did not wait for himself to participate in the recording of the show in the end, and did not arrive in the United States for a few months, Zuckerberg ran into trouble again, or Zhou Shi's opportunity came. Someone wants to buy Facebook for $750 million, which is undoubtedly a very tempting option. Zuckerberg himself is confused about the future and doesn't know what to choose. At this time, he thought of Zhou Shi, this Zhou Shi who was doing the same thing as him in the ancient country of the East. At the same time, YouTube's overseas development is also progressing steadily, but legal disputes still arise within the US empire, and YouTube wants to reach cooperation with several major TV networks because of its good relationship with UPN TV Network, or CW TV Network now, has been squeezed out by other TV networks, and it is very likely that there will be a protracted lawsuit, which seriously hinders the development of YouTube.

Bringing Fan Liuyi from Beiwai, Li Lingyun from the University of Political Science and Law, two female assistants and Li Ying, Zhou Shi flew to Silicon Valley. First, they were introduced to YouTube, and they were asked to collect intelligence and sort out information first, so that Zhou Shiye and several founders and executives such as Cheng Shijun could understand the situation. The development of YouTube is still so hot, hundreds of video sites of the same type do not know how many have gone out of business, whether it is Google, Yahoo or other people's video sites have not had an impact on YouTube at all, as high as 70% of the market share to kill all challengers.

The popularity of America's Got Talent has led to the newly formed CW television network, which consists of Warner Bros. WB TV and Paramount Network (UPN). The good start has hit the ratings of other TV networks, but the intricacies of relationships and conflicts of interest have also brought a lot of uncertainty about the future.

The five major television networks in the United States refer to the CBS television network owned by Columbia and the ABC television network owned by ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation), the NBC television network owned by the NBC Group, the FOX television network owned by Twentieth Century Fox and the United Television Network (CW) formed by Columbia and Warner Bros., and ABC and NBC among the five major television networks also refer to ABC television and NBC television. They are also inextricably linked to the six major groups in Hollywood, but fortunately now that the CW is independent and has their own pursuits, otherwise the situation would be more complicated.

Knowing that there was no problem with YouTube for the time being, Zhou Shi went to Facebook and met Zuckerberg and a stranger who was somewhat familiar.

"Simon, this is Sean Parker, my good friend," Zach took the initiative to introduce.

"Hello, I'm Simon Zhou. Zhou Shi greeted Sean Parker warmly

This Sean Parker is an amazing guy, and in 1999, he co-founded Napster, the first widely used peer-to-peer (P2P) music sharing service, with Shawn Fanning, and then due to copyright issues, there was no more. In 2001, he tossed up an address book service software, Plaxo, whose main business is to provide users with a network service that updates their contacts in real time. It is the pioneer of LinkedIn, the world's largest professional networking site. Since he often skips work, he is often a few hours late for meetings. Eventually, investors teamed up to kick Parker out of the company. Then it was Facebook's turn, and with his encouragement and support, Zuckerberg persevered, but in August 2005, a sudden drug scandal forced him to quit. Still, he kept in close contact with Zach.

"Do you think Zach should sell Facebook?" asked Zhou Shi

"It depends on what Zach really wants, money or ideals!" Zhou Shi looked at Zack, "Are you short of money now, what do you want to do after selling the company, and can they still run the company according to your ideas?"

A series of rhetorical questions were thrown, stunned Zack, and Zhou Shi also took care of himself to find a glass of water to drink. In other words, why do the people of the United States love to drink ice water so much, except for coffee, there seems to be no boiling water to drink.

According to the experience of his previous life, Zuckerberg finally refused to be acquired, and deliberately quoted a sky-high price of $2 billion. This time there was not much difference between the matter and the previous life, and after a few people grinding and chirping for a while, they still made the same choice.

Zhou Shi also returned to YouTube, and Twitter's company is still like that, developing steadily. Not fast, not slow. The development of vertical travel search in China is still very good, and it has been conceived for a long time, and Time Holdings has given him some support, and now it is still standing.

Baidu also came to the United States to start a roadshow, originally said to be listed in May this year, this time it came in March, 2005 annual turnover of more than 45 million US dollars, compared with 2004 year-on-year growth of 201 percent, a two-fold increase is really very good performance. The valuation of this listing is also between 2.5~3 billion US dollars, with a price-to-earnings ratio of several hundred times. However, the enthusiastic subscription made Baidu's shares in short supply, and the subscription price was soon increased accordingly.

The high-spirited Robin Li invited Zhou Shi to participate in Baidu's listing, and Zhou Shi, who had not seen the listing bell ringing, naturally agreed to his request, and Lu He, as a shareholder representative of Galaxy Capital, also participated in this grand ceremony, Li Ying was not so lucky, and before Lu He arrived, she flew back to China. Someone has to stay in China to preside over the overall situation and deal with the complex changes in the Internet. Besides, Tengxun has finally made a move, QQ space upgraded as promised, although there is no mandatory real-name system, but a large amount of reference and reference time friends are inevitable, the classic problem faced by Chinese Internet entrepreneurs, what if Tengxun plagiarizes you? This time it is the turn of the friend network to answer. The majority of venture capital friends will also give an evaluation based on this battle to confirm the combat effectiveness and investment value of Time Friends. At the same time, Facebook's Series B financing has officially begun. Lu He was introduced to Zuckerberg by Zhou Shi and participated in this venture capital. However, Galaxy Capital, which has just arrived in Silicon Valley, is obviously the target of exclusion, but who let Zhou Shi open the hanging, he and Zack said that their money was entrusted to Galaxy Capital Investment, and this time they mainly used Zhou Shi's funds to participate in this venture capital financing. Then, the remaining interested venture capital funds agreed to Galaxy Capital's joining. They also started their due diligence on Facebook.

On Monday, March 28, Baidu officially IPO on NASDAQ, issuing 10% of its shares and raising 350 million yuan.

Fan Liuyi and Li Lingyun looked enviously at the Robin Li team who rang the bell in the audience, Zhou Shi did not choose to stand on that stage in the end, he didn't need the brilliance of others to set off himself.

"Dong Zhou, can our company also be listed?" asked Fan Liu, leaning on Zhou Shi's side

"There is no problem with going public, but my goal is not just to go public," Zhou Shi looked at it and replied absentmindedly

"What is Dong Zhou's goal?" Li Lingyun took the opportunity to ask Zhou Shi

"I have many goals, but simply put, I want to lead the times and the industry. ”

"......" Zhou Shi was speechless on both sides, the two little girls obviously didn't expect Zhou Shi to answer like this, and they didn't know how to respond to him. Zhou Shi also reacted and said with a smile: "But we still have to manage good time friends first, which is the most important thing." ”
