Mark is eyeing Facebook, which is one of the three major Internet empires after more than ten years after Microsoft, a real super enterprise, in the face of this big fat, and any other investment is a floating cloud.

North America's four major media empires, Time Warner, Disney, News Corp., and Viacom, have a combined market value equivalent to Facebook, which shows its domineering and valuable.

The rise of every media empire has its own unique reasons and paths, which cannot be copied by others, but Mark seems to know the way it rises, and what is even more powerful is that Mark can check its operating model and growth process on the Internet, and can seize the opportunity one step earlier.

Like now, Zuckerberg is still racking his brains to get into Haval, and Mark is preparing to set up Facebook, God's greatness lies in the prophet, and Mark arrogantly thinks that he can be a God for fourteen years.

Mark now has in mind that in May 2012, Facebook would hold an initial public offering at an agreed price of US$38 per share, and the company would have a market capitalization of US$15 billion, making it the most valuable new public company to date.

Facebook's market capitalization hit the US$200 billion mark in 2014, making it the 22nd largest company in the world by market capitalization, surpassing not only other technology giants such as computer service industry leader IBM, chip maker Intel and the largest business software company Oracle, but also beating the world's largest car manufacturer Toyota Motor and the largest beverage company Coca-Cola, and its shares closed up 4.6% on Thursday to market capitalization of $306.4 billion.

If you don't take a bite of such a piece of fat, the crossing is considered to be worn to the dog's body.

Mark is strategically forward-looking, Donald has the ability and connections, and in the case of the advantage, he can't replicate the success of the Facebook empire, unless the heavens are against them, and Mark has a monstrous wave in his heart, which makes him stunned.

Donald bumped Mark with his elbow and said, "Do you do that every time you see Blake?Sophie, I'm sorry for you, your son is going to be snatched away." ”

Mark was looking in the direction that Blake and Kayla were wandering on the swing.

Sophia teased, "I'm not ready to be a grandmother yet, but I have to prepare now." ”

Mark came back to his senses with a gentle smile on his face: "Who wouldn't want to take home an angel when they see it? I have an idea that we can start an Internet social networking site to provide people with a sharing platform to make the world more open and connected, through which people can keep in touch with family and friends, discover new information, and share life stories." ”

Donald pondered for a moment and said, "What's the difference between this and ICQ?"

"ICQ is instant messaging, and this website, called Facebook, is named F-a-c-e-b-o-o-k, which comes from the traditional paper "roster" Usually high schools and universities will print this kind of booklet printed with all members of the school community to new students and faculty members to help everyone know other members of the school, our website is called Facebook, it is based on real-time sharing pictures and information, countless people join, will form an online virtual circle, people can go up to everything around them anytime, anywhere, send to the people in this circle to know. ”

Donald said, "More specifically?"

"Facebook is free to sign up, completely and forever, and allows users to create their own personal information and contact pages, including photo albums, personal preferences and interests, as well as public chat messages between users. or leave a private message, users can also choose to chat with a specific audience, and the detailed personal information page about the user's own can only be viewed by yourself, you can set it to be viewed only by yourself, or a circle of friends, or a circle of friends, or a circle of friends, or completely public. ”

Donald said, "What does it depend on to make money?"

Mark said: "Its operation model is like Gu Ge, with a large amount of investment in the early stage, absorbing a large number of users, and expanding its influence, IP0 is listed, and it can be through advertising business, user paid advertising business, from cooperation with third-party applications, token system."

and so on. ”

Donald said: "This sounds like no borrowing, the key is that there is no similar product on the market, who would have thought that a small Gu brother would change people's lifestyle? ”

Mark said: "0k! Our brothers are united, and we can be invincible in the world." "Truly, with his ability, even if he copied Facebook, he would not be able to run and grow Facebook, Donald is different, he is talented, capable, his mother is a banker, and his stepfather is a barrister, which is so similar to Bill Gaici, and he can be invincible with huge resources.

Bill, who claims to be self-made, his mother is from a banking family, his father is one of the 100 barristers in Quanmi, he can easily get financing from the bank, there are so many large listed companies in the world, Bill and his good friend Paul hold 65%, which is unique, Pingguo, Cisco, Disney, Time Warner have more than 500 shareholders, and Donald's background is so similar, he has only a lot more resources, and Mark, a prescient person, shows him the way, and it is possible to copy a path to success.

They mainly celebrated the establishment of Mark Studio today, and the people present were all people in a small circle, and they didn't have a carnival in the sky, and after some celebrations, they went home.

Mark drove Blake home, and Blake was very happy and said, "Mark, you are only twenty years old, and you have your own company, which is amazing. She looked at Mark's eyes as gentle as water, full of affection.

Mark said: "I couldn't get along in school, so I went to the sea." ”

"I'm free this summer, can I join your studio to earn some pocket money? Of course, it's just a summer vacation, and I can do some work answering calls and working on papers." ”

Mark said: "There is no problem with your work ability, and I am happy to be with you all day long, but if you become my employee, it feels weird for me to ask you again, people will not say that Mark Boy chased the big beauty Blake with his real deeds, but by the unspoken rules of the boss's identity." ”

Blake blushed, but was happy and a little embarrassed, and said, "How can you think that? I was your assistant last time very well. ”

Mark said: "Yes, you have excellent work ability, but I think you are very talented in acting, I can give you a small supporting role, so you don't have to worry about pocket money?"

Blake was a little surprised and asked, "What character?"

"You can choose between a female police officer and a female doctor," Mark said. ”

Blake said: "I'm too young to play a female police officer, and I don't want to play a cheating junior, what should I do?"

Mark said: "You can wear makeup to get older when you're young, and the female doctor is not a big problem, there won't be bed scenes and kiss scenes, so tell me if you think about it." ”

Mark said this because the Lively family had arrived, and he really wanted to go in and have a cup of coffee, but he had to give up thinking of Donald waiting at home.

When Mark got home, Donald immediately asked him about Facebook.

Mark directly told Donald what he saw on the Internet and how to operate it.

"It's very interesting, and it's a platform where you can show yourself to the world, it's very original," Donald said. ”

Mark said: "Novel things are easy for young people to accept, it is best to promote them in universities, and after success, they will be promoted to universities across the country, guys, all the rice elites are our users, what does this mean?"

"We're going to be the next generation of media empires!" Donald said.

Mark said: "The key is to cut into the point, stand firm, operate and promote, just like Brother Gu, there are a large number of users, and I am afraid that no one will invest?"

"Sounds promising," Donald said. ”

Mark said: "I pay 200,000 US dollars, you pay 100,000 US dollars, we run the project together, I am responsible for the conception and strategic guidance, you are responsible for the specific operation, we share the revenue equally, we can become another Microsoft." ”

Donald said excitedly: "Your idea is too good, so interesting, very interesting, far better than my original plan to build an information website, your garage office will be half out." ”

Twelve years later, David's garage became the best garage in the world, and it gave birth to two of the best companies, Facebook and Mark's Studios, which became the king of the neighborhood because it was the mecca of the two major companies.

Since there is an opportunity, it is necessary to operate Facebook, but the main work must be done by Donald, unlike Zack, Mark knew from the beginning that the project was unlimited, and there were ways to cheat, and they invested heavily in and operated the project from the beginning, which is completely different from Zach operating for two years before getting investment.

Donald was very interested in this project, and he put a lot of enthusiasm into it from the beginning, he rowed out a small room in the garage as an office, according to the ideas and information provided by Mark, Donald rushed into the office, and began to make plans to start a company, start a website, unlike Mark, Donald has no plans to drop out, he is ready to run Facebook while going to school, in his words, as long as you have money, you can recruit all kinds of talents in college, and it is cheap and good, as much as you want.

Seeing the garage turned into an office, and the two sons were busy in it, Sophia said: "Young people nowadays, it's really hard, when I was in college, the summer vacation was the season for traveling. ”

David said, "They are all hard-working and motivated young men, and you will be proud of them." ”

Sophia smiled: "Of course, but you are also very good, each of you sponsored 100,000 yuan as start-up capital. ”

David said: "This is what I should do, I hope they will suffer less." ”
