Chapter 389: One Joy and One Sorrow

Embarrassed!

Although she is very familiar, when she used to act as Xu Tingting's personal bodyguard, she also unscrupulously made some jokes between men and women, such as sometimes when there was a stalemate on some issues, Xu Tingting would arrogantly say "I have big breasts, I am reasonable", and instantly turned the tide of the battle.

can be familiar, this kind of experience of peeking at shame films and being caught is really a bit too inferior, Gu Heng felt that his glorious image collapsed, and his old face was a little unbearable.

"Poof!"

After a short silence, Xu Tingting finally couldn't hold back, laughed, the flowers trembled, and the majestic scenery on her chest swayed, crossing eye-catching arcs.

It took a long time to stop laughing, the corners of Xu Tingting's mouth were still trembling slightly, and she said with a smile: "No, your Xiao Xiao is so cruel to you, he actually makes you hungry and thirsty to such an extent." ”

"Poof...... , No, let me laugh a little longer, it's so funny, it's so pitiful that you are hiding at home alone to watch that kind of film. ”

Xu Tingting smiled wantonly, probably staying in the United States for a short time, infected by the more open atmosphere there, or through a screen, you can indulge a little, or you can't be as close as before, so she has to choose another way, in short, she is a little casual.

"Ahem...... ,What's that?,This is a small advertisement that comes with a pirate website.,Okay.,Don't think about it.。 ”

Gu Heng wanted to forcibly wash his name, but the effect was obviously not very starry, Xu Tingting couldn't help but smile, and nodded and said, "En, I believe you are innocent." But then again, you're lonely at home alone, do you want me to ......?"

Speaking of this, Xu Tingting stretched her lower waist, intentionally or unintentionally showing off her proud capital, and then she threw a flattering glance across the screen: "If you really need it, I can help you, it's easy to hurt if you hold it all the time." ”

As Xu Tingting deliberately pulled the tight T-shirt, the furrow on her chest flashed away, and with a quick glance, two words flashed in Gu Heng's mind: so white, so deep!

Knowing that he would lose if he kept it for a long time, he would be teased very badly, so he tried to keep his face straight and said: "Be serious, get down to business, now when we talk about business, I still expect the millions of dollars invested in to multiply hundreds or thousands of times in the end." ”

Xu Tingting: "......"

Gu Heng felt that he couldn't chat happily, and said, "Look at me with this kind of look again, turn off the video." ”

Xu Tingting quipped: "You shouldn't be a real sperm worm in the brain, hundreds or thousands of times, you really dare to think about it!"

This time it was Gu Heng's turn to be speechless!

Hundreds, thousands, a lot? It seems to be billions of dollars, if you can really suppress Facebook and replace it, this is a relatively normal income, right? Well, it's still a seriously underestimated kind.

How much was Facebook's peak market capitalization? A giant company worth more than $400 billion, even if his current investment is eventually diluted to only one percent of the equity, it will be billions of dollars.

It can only be said that the current Internet environment still needs to be improved, and it is far from the day when it will explode.

Gu Heng's mentality is not bad, this time he helped Xu Tingting to create a social networking site, but he didn't have too many expectations, in general, just one word: I am lucky, I lose my life!

It's not that I'm not optimistic about Xu Tingting's entrepreneurship, but I don't expect to be able to grab the most abundant fruit in the end, since ancient times, the interests are moving, if the website shows a bright future in the future, I'm afraid there will be countless people who want to pounce on it and take a bite, and with the identity of "CEO of Huaguo Internet Enterprise" on his head, it is good to be able to get a piece of the pie, but it is unlikely to occupy the big head.

Of course, if he had already reached another level by then, that would be another story.

It can only be said that although he has some expectations for this at the moment, he will not have too many illusions, and he knows very well where his center of gravity and foundation are. Besides, in ten years, as long as we tap the potential of the domestic market, it will not be difficult to create a company comparable to Facebook.

"Okay, don't be unhappy, if this girl really relies on this website to develop in the future, I will take care of you then. ”

Xu Tingting continued to tease, and then her face was temporary, and she got down to business: "Let me report to you about the situation, the website has been online for a month and a half, with the strong support of Mr. Gu, we have successively found people to publicize and build momentum on the website forums of major colleges and universities in the United States, and also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the TV station to place a ten-second advertisement, and launched strategies such as pushing, and now, the registered users of the website have officially exceeded one million."

Because we started a few months late, we currently do not have an advantage in the market share compared with Facebook in the university market, but because of our broader positioning, we have also pulled in the high school group, and we have a monopoly position in this market.

However, just a few days ago, Facebook also paid attention to us, probably aware of the crisis, and they launched the latest version, which opened up the registration rights for the high school group.

Therefore, taking into account all these factors, just yesterday, after negotiations, we have sent an invitation to Facebook to prepare for peace talks, preferably a merger, and the other side promised to go to Delaware for a meeting in three days. ”

In just one and a half months, it has developed millions of users, and I have to say that this achievement is dazzling enough!

After all, Xu Tingting's establishment of this social networking site can be said to have developed from scratch, although with Gu Heng's financial support, more trivial and complicated things need to be completed by her, such as building a team, such as management and operation, such as publicity and promotion......

Gu Heng also came step by step, he knew very well that the initial stage of entrepreneurship was the most difficult, and it was quite rare for her to be a girl who could make these achievements little by little on the other side of the ocean.

As for the peace talks with Facebook, this was something that Gu Heng did not expect, probably because he had a history of breaking up unhappily when he was talking with Teng Xun, so he had not suggested Xu Tingting to negotiate peace with Facebook before, after all, in his opinion, Facebook was only a few months ahead, even if the development momentum was very good, but after all, it was a start-up, and it was not too difficult to catch up or even completely suppress it, so it was not imperative to talk about peace.

But then again, it would be nice to be able to merge with Facebook.

First, Comrade Xiaozha was able to make Facebook bigger in his previous life, and his own ability is absolutely undoubted, and with him joining, he will definitely be able to promote the development of the website faster. On the other hand, the merger of the two sides is equivalent to one less competitor and one more strong reinforcement, and the two sides can avoid infighting, seize the market faster, and lay a first-mover advantage.

Of course, there are no drawbacks, and if Facebook joins in, how to divide this cake is a problem. Gu Heng was not afraid that he would dilute the shares in his hands, but that the equity in the entrepreneurial team was too scattered, and it would be easy to be broken when facing the invasion of capital in the future.

Like now, Gu Heng invested 3 million US dollars, accounting for 40% of the shares, Xu Tingting and the team she was looking for contributed a total of 1 million US dollars, accounting for a total of 50% of the shares, of which Xu Tingting accounted for 5% of the 20%, and the remaining 10% was used as the option pool.

And Xu Tingting's initial team has a total of eight people, with only 3% of the shares held the least, and 10% of the most.

If Zuckerberg's team is brought over, it is conservatively estimated that about 20 to 30 percent of the shares will be ceded, and the initial entrepreneurial team with equity will be expanded to 10 or 20 people.

In this way, the equity will be too dispersed, once the capital is introduced in the future, there will be people who are driven by interests to transfer their shares, and then a team that lacks cohesion will likely be eroded by the power of capital, so that before the fruit is ripe, it will be picked off by the capital party in advance.

Gu Heng thought for a moment and said: "If it can really be merged with Facebook, it can be, but when they join, you have to pay attention to some problems, first of all, the two teams that were originally in competition suddenly became collaborators, how to rearrange the authority and distribute the benefits, this is very important." At the moment, you are still in the development stage, and you may not have the heart to fight, but once you develop, when there is a conflict of interests, this problem will be very fatal, and many companies will eventually die, not because they are not profitable, but because they die in infighting.

The other is to pay attention to the equity is not too dispersed, to be precise, the voting rights are not too dispersed, in short, your entire team ......"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Tingting had already taken over the topic and said: " I understand what you mean, isn't the part of the equity in your hands in my hands, yesterday we have discussed, if the Facebook team really joins, you can give 20 to 30% of the equity, and then draw up a voting mechanism, so that their team has two votes, we hold seven votes, of which I, as the largest shareholder, personally hold five votes, and the remaining two votes, you can also give Wang Xin one vote, so that in the whole team, I will be the one who can make a final decision when there are disagreements. ”

At this moment, Xu Tingting suddenly became a little unrecognizable to Gu Heng, and that serious face with a bit of a strong woman's demeanor was a style he had never seen before.

Gu Heng was suddenly in a trance, whether he wanted to admit it or not, because his existence had directly or indirectly changed the trajectory of Xu Tingting's life.

It is true that her current entrepreneurial project is high-quality enough to make her one of the brightest women in the world this century, but these are not necessarily what she wants, and if it were not for the opportunity to have a bright and bright connection with herself, she would not necessarily choose this path.

Strong women, rich women, sound good, but not necessarily the achievement that women want the most, nor is it necessarily the happiest and successful life.

Two kinds of life:

One is a happy family, with an excellent and considerate husband, cute and well-behaved children, a husband and a child every day, or an appointment with girlfriends to go out shopping and do SPA......

The other is to stay in the company every day, busy socializing every day, holding endless meetings every day, and processing endless documents......

Compared with the former, the latter, which seems to have a dazzling halo, has higher achievements, but when it comes to which life is happier, the vast majority of those who want to choose the former occupy the vast majority.

But because of herself, this young girl who is in the age of youth and romance, she could have lived the first happy life, but she may have embarked on a second life trajectory.

Gu Heng didn't know if Xu Tingting really liked the current lifestyle, but he had some responsibility for changing the trajectory of her life.

"Forget it, let's wait and see, if she doesn't want to be a strong woman, it's a big deal to sell the project then. ”

Gu Heng came back to his senses and said, "Since you understand everything you should understand, then I have nothing to say, next, just wait for the results of your talks!"

Xu Tingting was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said, "There's really nothing to say?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Looking at the girl who turned from a strong woman to a female hooligan in this instant, Gu Heng was speechless for a while, he couldn't resist it, and ended the video with the excuse of "there is a call in".

…………

Three days later, Gu Heng's mood experienced two days of ice and fire, and the reason was two phone calls.

One was Xu Tingting, who was far away across the ocean, and told him that the negotiations with Facebook had been successfully concluded.

The negotiations focused on a number of issues.

First, the merger with Facebook came at a price of selling 25 percent of the shares.

In the end, counting Gu Heng's part of the equity, Xu Tingting, whose total equity was weakened to less than 150%, fought hard and got five votes, Zuckerberg and his team held two votes, and two votes were held by Xu Tingting's partnership team, of which Wang Xin, who held 7% of the shares, got one vote.

Second, after the merger, the website will be able to use the more recognizable domain name "Facebook", but this domain name is currently in the hands of someone else and needs to be purchased, and Zuckerberg's previous domain name is "TheFacebook".

Third, after discussion, the original studio model will be terminated and the company will be officially registered. After several hours of discussion, they finally decided on a series of matters such as the location of the office, the division of responsibilities, etc.

Considering that the two parties are still students, the two sides will arrange and report their work through video conference, but at the same time, the two sides have also reached an agreement that once the website has more than 5 million registered users, or has received more than 10 million US dollars of capital injection from venture capital institutions, everyone will officially enter the company and carry out a shift system, otherwise, the shares will be sold and acquired by the entrepreneurial team.

After hearing this news, Gu Heng wanted to say that he was not happy, it was self-deception, merging with Facebook, and Zuckerberg and others joined, which gave him more confidence in the development of the website.

Even if it does not reach the height of his previous life because of the change of history, even if the shares he holds may be diluted step by step, he is still very satisfied.

Originally, I didn't have the mentality that I was going to win, if these millions of investments can finally get hundreds of millions, it will be a big profit, if the expectations are higher, assuming that Facebook is as popular as in the previous life, and he can finally hold a few percent or even more shares, the picture is simply beautiful!

However, it only took three seconds to get stuck, and then a phone call from Xiao Xiao made him feel at the bottom in an instant.

"I may not be able to come to Xiangshi. ”
