Agree to reduce shareholdings!

This is the reply given by Gu Heng.

Three years ago, he might have been unwilling. But nowadays, the height of the station is different, and the angle and height of the problem are also beginning to change.

Business can only be business, and there is not much truth to talk about.

It is true that it was the entrepreneurial capital and planning plan he gave that allowed Xu Tingting's entrepreneurial partners to easily take the first step, and take the lead in Zuckerberg's team and take the opportunity to annex each other.

But that doesn't excuse the other party to be grateful to him and see him as their own.

Each team has its own position, and for Xu Tingting's entrepreneurial partners, their position must first consider their own interests, and then it will be Gu Heng's turn to be the interests of shareholders.

And their own interests are based on the fact that Facebook continues to grow and develop. In short, the better Facebook grows, the better they can benefit.

As a result, Gu Henghua's identity cannot be bypassed.

You must know that this is the United States after all, a country that has introduced the "Chinese Exclusion Act" and advocated the theory of the Chinese threat. As a Chinese, it is impossible for Gu Heng to eat the fattest piece of meat on Facebook.

As a technology company that will involve user privacy information, when it has developed to a certain scale and has a certain social influence, it is impossible for other people to have too much influence on it.

If Gu Heng insists on not backing down, and still wants to have a certain dominance and voice in Facebook, either he immigrates to the United States like Yahoo President Yang Zhiyuan, or he can only back down.

Otherwise, Facebook will not only go as far as in the previous life, but it may even be forcibly intervened by the government and lead to its death, and all the investment will be lost.

Therefore, in the away battle, Gu Heng can only retreat, and he is also ready to continue to reduce his shareholding and weaken his influence in the follow-up financing.

This is something that can't be helped, who makes the family boast of being in the center of the universe.

In the previous life, SoftBank was able to hold more than 30% of Alibaba's shares until it was listed, which was unenviable, because it had the bonus of time and people.

In terms of time: In the early days, due to the lack of precious metals such as gold as margin, the currency issued by China was not recognized by the world financial system, and a large amount of foreign exchange was needed to introduce some advanced products and technologies from abroad, so it had to liberalize the policy and encourage the introduction of foreign capital.

At that time, this was implemented as a national policy, and many preferential policies were given to foreign investors who came to invest. Therefore, foreign investors such as SoftBank and Goldman Sachs can throw a lot of money in China, and with their investment vision, they can naturally find a lot of big fish.

People and aspects: It is because of the lack of sufficient capital in China to incubate some industries in the early days, especially emerging industries such as the Internet, because there are about 2000 lessons from the Internet bubble crisis that spread around the world, and some domestic institutions with funds lack sufficient strategic vision and courage for this emerging industry, and dare not make heavy bets.

You must know that Ali's financing scale in 2005 is calculated in units of 100 million US dollars.

As a result, there is no domestic capital to dare to gamble, and foreign capital has become a sweet spot in the eyes of Internet companies.

But then again, even if SoftBank, Yahoo and other foreign capital or companies become major shareholders of Alibaba, when they see that Alibaba's prospects are becoming more and more clear, they only make profits in the end, and cannot interfere with specific management and operation rights.

That is also because the rising Chinese people and the upper class cannot tolerate foreign capital having this right.

If an individual or a company wants to confront the public opinion and system of the entire country, it is undoubtedly the way to die.

Seeing this, Gu Heng has no resistance to reducing his stake in Facebook, and he will do the same in a different place.

Therefore, he easily gave a reply that did not embarrass Xu Tingting, and comforted Xu Tingting not to have any psychological burden.

For Xu Tingting, to be honest, Gu Heng felt guilty.

originally wanted to give her a brilliant career, and he has compensated for his emotional debt to her.

But not long ago, he received a phone call, and while he was scolded, he also knew that it was not compensation, but owed more.

That was what Ling Shu called him.

also let Gu Heng know that maybe career and success can satisfy many people, but this does not include Xu Tingting, she also has such a right to speak.

Ling Shu mentioned that Xu Tingting actually didn't want to be a strong woman in any career, because she had a mother who was called a strong woman.

Therefore, it can be said that Xu Tingting chose the path of starting a business in the United States because of him, and he also listened to his advice and got a green card in the form of investment immigration, and because of this, he had a conflict with his family, which made him feel more guilty.

Therefore, Gu Heng was scolded by Ling Shu without any temper.

Yes, if Xu Tingting follows this path, there is a great possibility that she will achieve more brilliant business achievements than her mother. But that's not what she's pursuing, even if it's really successful, what satisfaction can she have?

100 million, 1 billion, for a person who has no career ambitions, there is not much difference, they are enough to meet their material needs, it is nothing more than an extra zero in the passbook.

Therefore, after knowing the truth, Gu Heng was a little unsure of how to face that girl.

Think about her alone in a foreign country ignorant forward, even if there are friends around her, even if she is strong enough, but after all, she is just a girl who has just graduated, when she dreams back at midnight, will there be bursts of loneliness and loneliness suddenly attacked, will she often miss her relatives on the other side of the ocean, as well as the familiar food and scenery of her hometown?

"Take good care of yourself, I will come to see you in the United States in the next year, and by the way, I will inspect our career. ”

Gu Heng tried his best to end the conversation with Xu Tingting in a relaxed tone, and then couldn't help but sigh lightly.

After a long time, he reorganized his mentality, and only then did he notify Tang Jun and the others who were still in the United States.

For Xu Tingting, he can talk about feelings. But with that company and the other founders, he believed that business is business.

He can reduce his stake in order to weaken his influence on Facebook and make Facebook better in the United States. But since it's an investment, you can lose face, but you can't lose your heart.

Gu Heng's Facebook shares are investments made in his own name. Therefore, this Facebook financing invitation can be said to be his private work.

However, after Tang Jun and others received the notice, they canceled the original arrangement as soon as possible and hurriedly booked a ticket to Delaware.

Can you refuse the boss's private work?Hmph, if you want to wear small shoes in the future, you can boldly try it!

On the plane, Tang Jun and Josie began to look through the information in their hands, which was the fax information sent by Gu Heng, including the development of Facebook and the financing invitation.

"Josy, you're right, the scenery we see in the eyes of that boss is really different from ours. ”

After reading the information, Tang Jun exhaled softly.

He never expected that the young boss would quietly invest in an Internet company in the United States.

From the perspective of the attributes of Facebook, it seems to have many similarities with Renren. Looking at the time of its establishment and the Chinese name of the second largest shareholder, he can even deduce that behind the establishment of this company, there must be the shadow of Gu Heng.

China has the world's largest population base, while rice has the world's most developed economy!

Using social networking as a template, and betting in these two big countries at the same time, such a vision and pattern once again refreshed Tang Jun's view of the young boss.

Josie replied lightly: "Isn't this why we have been busy for nearly two months, and finally ushered in a vacation, but we have to postpone the vacation because of a phone call?"

"Huh?"

Tang Jun didn't react at first, was stunned for a moment, and smiled.

yes, if you don't have some ability, how can someone be a boss?

If it was a change to his previous job, maybe he was ready to consider quitting. For him, work is just a channel to make money, and entertainment and enjoyment are the pursuit of life.

But now, he is trapped.

The young boss, with the company's shares, let him see the beautiful scene of enjoying the second half of life on the island he named after many years.

Islands, sun, beaches, cruises, bikinis, fishing in the morning sun, running around the playground in the sunset, and discussing life with sexy hot girls under the starry sky......

Think about it, what a wonderful life!

Josie, who was once suspected of being a little cold in some aspects, obviously couldn't get Tang Jun's H-spot, what she suddenly remembered in her mind at the moment was that time when she was hospitalized due to a traffic accident, Gu Heng didn't forget to joke when he came to visit her and handed her an apple, and the tall back when he turned around in the face of the accident when he watched a powerful person come to the door to provoke.

and the soft but powerful words: "Recuperate with peace of mind, I'll settle the rest!"

At that time, he had just emerged, he was a little immature in all aspects, the company was far from the scale it has today, and he himself did not have the status and glory he has today.

At that time, even though she had yellow skin and black eyes, she only regarded Huaguo as a place to settle down for a short time, thinking that one day, she would have to return to the United States.

But it was the seemingly inadvertent words at that time, I don't know whether it was out of emotion, or suddenly infected by his personality charm, or for some other reason, which made her suddenly germinate her determination to stay in Huaguo.

Now, back in the land of Mi where she has lived for decades, she has naturally regarded this place as an away game, and only thinks about helping him and winning one battle after another.

Fortunately, although the United States is an away country, in the field of capital, she has a home field advantage with Tang Jun, who has served as the CFO of Yahoo, and Tang Jun, who has held an executive position at Goldman Sachs.
