Chapter 130: Trouble
The conversation with Zhang Hongjiang didn't last long, and Zhou Shi was a little excited. The attraction of the friend network is really not so great, at least now the light of foreign companies is far above that of private enterprises. Zhang Hongjiang came to discuss cooperation on behalf of Microsoft this time, and he only came here for initial contact.
When Zhou Shi heard this, he immediately had no intention of talking. Friends have started to negotiate venture capital, and you TM are late, and there are so many exquisitenesses. Lao Tzu is not meat on your chopping board.
"I really want to cooperate with Microsoft, I don't know how many talents Microsoft Research Asia will provide us?"
"As long as we reach an agreement, I believe that these will not be a problem, and I will also join the friend network and help the friend network to upgrade the system architecture. And help the internationalization of the friend network. "Zhang Hongjiang
"Oh, are you willing to leave Microsoft?"
"Well, Microsoft wants to buy Friends.com. "Zhang Hongjiang
"Oh! Microsoft put you in charge of our acquisition?" Zhou Shi
"I'm just in charge of delivering the message. "Zhang Hongjiang
"Then I know, we'll see you again. After Zhou Shi finished speaking, he threw him down and walked out of the private room.
Zhou Shidu was about to lose control of his emotions and wanted to shoot directly at Zhang Hongjiang. TMD, what kind of big hard company is it, and does the company he bought end well? Microsoft magic is not a good thing, and it doesn't pee on itself.
Li Ying quickly chased after her, "What's wrong with you today, it seems that something is wrong with your emotions?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel very uncomfortable to see that my friends are still being looked down upon."
"How can they look down on the network of friends!" Li Ying
"I'm going to dig Zhang Hongjiang over, but he immediately replied that he wanted to buy Friends.com, MMP, I haven't seen such an arrogant person!"
"You think too much, it's his freedom not to come, he said that he wants to buy the friend network, that's his responsibility. What do you mean by blaming him!" Li Ying
"Then we still want Microsoft to buy it?"
"I didn't say I agreed to Microsoft's acquisition of us, we just refused. "Li Ying
"You go and refuse, I don't want to go in. As Zhou Shi walked, he turned on his mobile phone, and there were several calls from Wang Xirui. Hurriedly dialed over, hung up before it was connected, and then directly busy.
MMP, how nothing goes well. Kicked the trash can a few times to vent the depression in my heart a little. The negotiation of several candidates did not go well, and he thought that with the participation of venture capital, many people would join, but Zhou Shi still thought about things simply. Everyone may not be sure about the development of the friend network, and they don't know how much it is worth, and the venture capital is also noncommittal about the valuation of 500 million US dollars, but they just want to know more, after all, Zhou Shi's success did not come out of thin air. There is a great similarity between Facebook and Friends in the United States, and Zhou Shi's success probability is still more than Zuckerberg's. The $500 million valuation is not unacceptable, you must know that now Yahoo wants to buy Facebook for $1 billion, and the two sides are negotiating. In addition, this time Zach did not consult Zhou Shi's opinion!
Just thinking about all kinds of miscellaneous things, Zhou Shi received a call from Shen Nanpeng again.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a candidate here who is very suitable for your needs, but I want you to go to the United States to run in person, but he is not so easy to talk to. Shen Nanpeng said simply on the other end of the phone.
"Who, what special talent does he have? "Zhou Shi
"His name is Zhou Jingren, and he is currently ...... at Microsoft headquarters," Shen Nanpeng was interrupted before he could finish speaking
"Did he graduate from the University of Science and Technology of China?" Zhou Shi
"That's right, I graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China, and I still have a doctorate in computer science from Columbia University."
"Oh, I know this person, have you been connected, when can we meet? When Zhou Shi heard this name, he naturally remembered the chief scientist of Alibaba Cloud in his previous life, and he was an international scholar in the fields of cloud computing, big data, large-scale distributed systems, and databases. Even if he is not as powerful as he was ten years later, he is probably very remarkable.
I got the contact information, the time was very tight, just three days, and Lu Qi was also in the United States, although there were many exchanges by email, it was better to meet in person. Lu Qi didn't agree now, I'm afraid it has something to do with Zhou Shi not going to the United States to interview him.
Zhou Shi waited until Li Ying and Zhang Hongjiang were separated, and then he showed up.
"You've offended people this time," Li Ying said
"If you offend, you will be offended, anyway, I will not sell my friend network. "Zhou Shi
"He is also entrusted by others, there is no way, but he originally had a good impression of the friend network"
"Forget it, who wouldn't say anything about this kind of scene, and besides, if you have a good feeling, you don't have to join us, as long as he has no ill will towards us, I'll be satisfied" Zhou Shi
"You, you!"
"Don't talk about me, I'm going to America tomorrow and ask two people to come over. "Zhou Shi
"Who?" Li Ying
"Yahoo's Lu Qi and Microsoft's Zhou Jingren" Zhou Shi
"Do you want to talk about it?" said Li Ying
"If you are sincere, you can talk about it, and if you are not sincere, forget it. Give me another year or two, and I'll be sure to let everyone know how good social networks are. "Zhou Shi
"I believe in you!" Li Ying looked at Zhou Shi's sudden confidence, a little stunned.
flew to the United States again, originally thinking that Fan Liuyi would come over to take the opportunity, but he didn't expect to see the figure, so Zhou Shi had to go to YouTube first.
Zhou Shi's departure did not limit the development of YouTube, and watching videos on YouTube seems to have become a trend, and the number of videos uploaded every day has almost doubled compared to before Zhou Shi left. The development of the company makes every employee full of passion, except for Cheng Shijun, a few founders. Zhou Shi saw deep exhaustion in them, as well as a little dissatisfaction with Zhou Shi. They are all tired and tired of doing things here, and Zhou Shi is still so leisurely. I hadn't been to YouTube in months, and many of the new hires didn't know the chairman.
Zhou Shi had actually been prepared for these things for a long time, he was ready to sell the oil pipe, where would he care about this. As long as he sticks to Google's acquisition of YouTube, everything has nothing to do with him.
Zhou Shi asked about his assistant, that is, Fan Liuyi, before leaving, Zhou Shi asked her to join YouTube, and the relationship also shifted to this side, but I didn't expect Zhou Shi to leave for two months, she actually left her job and handed over the matter of contacting Zhou Shi to others. This time Zhou Shi went to the United States and sent a private email to Fan Liuyi, no wonder no one came to pick him up.
"Why did she leave her job?" Zhou Shi asked curiously
"I guess I found a boyfriend out there and left Silicon Valley," said A, who runs the company
MMP, what is this like, this guy can't be an idiot, such a promising company just gave up, and the employee stock ownership plan is enough to make her become a little rich woman, and she actually chose to run away! I also blame my company for being inexperienced, not guarding against this kind of thing, and not in place management. Remedial measures are still available, and it is necessary to notify the domestic school and the family, and to report to the police.
Fortunately, Zhou Shi's bad luck has come to an end. With the arrival of Zhou Shi, the two supreme geniuses actually agreed to return to China to serve.
