The meeting began.

Coming back from the bathroom, Ahn Junhyuk and Zuckerberg, Moskowitz, as well as Breyer, Thiel, Sze and others sat in the chairman's seat, and below were more than 20 shareholders, Zack was opening his speech, he was indeed an avid lover of classical literature, and at this time he was telling the story of "Aeneid".

Zach said that Aeneas, under God's guidance, founded Roman Italy, a great city that existed in an ideal, immortal in time and boundless in space. But this ideal city did not actually exist, nor did Aeneas, who flowed with divine blood, but only an exaggerated description of the "divine order" of Octavian, the leader of the Roman regime at the time, "Augustus".

Mankind has never had such a city.

“…… But Facebook is what I think of in my heart, Rome's Italy, which does not decay with time, does not have distance with space!" He sincerely looked at the people below and told his ideals.

That is indeed his ideal, what he has done, is also approaching that direction, although there are many difficulties, but he has never given up, and because of the ideal burned a greater fighting spirit.

Sitting silently in his seat, Ahn Jun-hyuk looked at Zack's back in front of him, and his heart sank with faint doubts and confusion.

What about my ideals?

After thinking about it for most of the night yesterday, it was probably a little confused in his thoughts, this kind of philosophical question that he didn't care about at all in the past rarely gave him the idea of taking it seriously.

Yuna was the second person to leave, and he wanted to know about it. What is all this for?

A lot of memories are turned over in the middle of a whim.

When he was very young, his ideals were there, of course, it should only be a simple wish, he hoped that he would grow up soon, take over his mother's burden, and support the family.

Because he is the only man in the family, that is his duty and his mission!

When he grew up a little, he began to not be satisfied with that desire, and he wanted to shorten the long process of growing up. He's going to make life better. So he went off the beaten path, so he resolutely volunteered after high school to try to have enough ability and time to take over this burden before his mother grew old.

In 2004, after the dream came, he took his sister to Seoul, and he also had similar thoughts. I have to support the family. Plan for the future. To bring his sister out of the shadows, for this, he can pay any price!

Juvenile. Juvenile, youthful...... Time is pushing, and those wishes and ideas have begun to slowly change direction, some deepening, some disappearing, some have been done, and some have been forgotten in the corners of memory.

For example, life is not getting better because the people he cares about are leaving one by one......

"Ann!"

Moskowitz touched Ahn Junhyuk with his elbow, he suddenly woke up from his contemplation, in front, Zach had finished speaking the opening, and was turning to look at him with one hand, his eyes were full of anxiety, and he was relieved to see him looking.

Ahn Jun-hyuk hurriedly got up, walked out of his seat, and came to Zack's side.

Unable to say anything superfluous on such an occasion, Zach grabbed him by the shoulders and introduced to the engineers in the audience who were either curious, indifferent, or complicated: "Next, I solemnly introduce a close partner of mine, Mr. Ahn Joon-hyuk from South Korea. ”

Bang bang bang

There was applause, but there was not much enthusiasm.

This is a reasonable thing, they are a group of "masked men", they live in the world of code, they use the data stream composed of 0 and 1, peek into the real world, use the network as their own eyes, their own ears and mouth, which makes them gain something and lose something.

"Come on!"

After a few short introductions, Zach gave him the podium, and as he staggered, Zach whispered.

Nodding to him slightly, his hands propped up on the edge of the podium, leaning over slightly, Ahn Joon-hyuk looked at the people in the audience, who also looked at him.

He saw a lot of things in their eyes, some people who knew what he was standing on the podium for, their expressions were complex and indifferent, and some people who didn't know what they were talking about, they were curious but didn't care too much, these people, unlike all the people he had faced before, most of them lived in their own world, for them, they believed more in technology and judgment extended by technology and data, they had been hiding in the world of code for too long, so that they began to reject the existence of non-kind.

Ahn Jun-hyuk, who doesn't know how to do tricks, is not the same kind of people!

It's hard to convince them.

"Sorry, I just got distracted. ”

Thinking about it, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who deliberately wore a set of casual clothes today, calmly talked about the fact that he had just been distracted and woken up by Moskowits, with short hair and a pair of flat glasses, he looked like a college student in school, not as sharp as usual, awe-inspiring, and gentle, which would somewhat weaken some of the subconscious hostility of others.

"Because I'm thinking about the question, where is the future of Facebook?"

As soon as the words came out, there was a buzz of discussion in the audience, and everyone did not expect that his speech would expose this issue as soon as possible.

The future of Facebook?

Everyone understands that it is nothing more than two choices, sell or not sell, and most people already know that Ahn Junhyuk is a supporter of Zack, and Zach is against selling!

Is there still a need to think about such a question?

At the edge of the rostrum behind, Breyer sat on a chair with his arms folded, sneering. Thiel's expression was calm, he couldn't see what he was thinking, and the observer, who had never liked to speak, lowered his head and fiddled with the pen in his hand, as if he was distracted, Moskowitz leaned sideways to Zuckerberg's side, and whispered anxiously: "Mark......"

"Don't worry!" Zuckerberg was very calm, although since Sean left the board of directors, he has experienced the strife of his early partner Saverin, and he has grown rapidly from the relatively simple student at the beginning, but to some extent, he still retains his naïve and optimistic side.

Two years since the investment. Ahn Junhyuk's support and help to him, he can't forget it, since Ahn Junhyuk can trust him, why can't he trust Ahn Junhyuk?

While all this was going on, Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't stop, he didn't seem to be able to hear the discussion below, as if he couldn't feel the sneer and question from behind him, standing on the small podium, he was talking:

"Mark borrowed from the Aeneid to paint his ideals, and he saw Facebook as a great city. But I had a different view from him. Before I say what I think, I would like to tell you a history of evolution.

About 500 million years ago, during the Cambrian period, we lived on Earth. A great explosion of the evolution of life began. Primitive animals have sprung up on this blue planet. Arthropods, brachiopods, notochords...... It is far more diverse than it has been in the nearly 2 billion years since the birth of algae. This is a great mystery in the biological world, and many people put forward hypotheses and are refuted one by one. Most of you who have studied biology know that the most plausible theory is the 'reaper hypothesis', which holds that the beginning of changes in species diversity began with the emergence of 'reapers' who used prokaryotic algae as food. Of course, today's talk is not about biology, I just want to say that the change in species diversity comes from the community!

Prokaryotic algae were born from a single and learned to form colonies, so it ruled the earth in that era. However, when the community became larger and larger, the resources gradually became scarce, and the pure primary production could no longer meet its own needs, eukaryotes with organelles were born, and the first harvesters evolved among the producers, and the diversity of nutrition and the evolutionary pyramid structure set the cornerstone.

Nutrient diversity formed to provide richer reproductive options, sexual reproduction began to emerge, and then multicellular organisms, layer upon layer, built the planet today.

But whether it is a single-celled organism or a multicellular organism, they can never forget the greatness of the community created by prokaryotic algae in their genes, and the birth of the first complex life chose the way of community development.

But such communities are low-level, because they lack an efficient way to communicate - communication!

Early single cells released pheromones, the earliest reptiles evolved different colors, until they developed into the evolution of vocal organs, visual organs, communication in the community became more and more important, until primates appeared, their facial muscles can make rich expressions, more complex vocal organs can complete the expression of different syllables, which helps them to express more information, so, one day, an ancient ape led its kind out of the forest where food is scarce...... Here we have to rejoice, thanks to the great facial expressions and vocal organs, that the ancient ape persuaded its kind, otherwise, what would have become of us sitting here today......?

"Haha......ha

The people below, who were gradually becoming more focused, laughed, and it was quite a long but interesting foreshadowing for the presentation.

No one had ever explained the importance of communication in a speech before, which made the engineers below, who were still young, have a slight impression of Ahn Joon-hyuk on stage for the first time.

When the laughter stopped, Ahn Joon-hyuk on the stage raised a hand, his index finger and thumb were at a slight distance, and his voice began to rise: "Communication, so that the community can evolve in a more efficient way."

Communication allowed the first ancestors of mankind to move out of the trapped forests and into the wider plains.

Communication allowed the first tool invented by man to be demonstrated and applied.

Communication allowed human beings to pick up the first spark from thunder and lightning, and spread it all over the earth.

Communication, so that human beings have established the first more efficient and potential community different from protists, reptiles, and dinosaurs, society!"

For each "communication", he strengthened his tone and emphasized a lot of repetition, so that those who began to listen intently couldn't help but follow his rhythm.

The slightly empty space of the conference hall splashed a slight echo, and no one said anything at this time, and on the stage, Ahn Jun-hyuk continued...... (To be continued......)
