121 Facebook's founding team
Zhu Jiarun was humming a song and preparing for the party, it looked like Sunday was good, and Zhang Xian was also happy in his heart, because he could see that Zhu Jiarun was still looking forward to the arrival of Zack and the others.
When a Cadillac drove in, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun greeted him.
Pushing the door open and getting out of the car was a bearded man who looked a little baby-faced, with a full beard, and another suspected Jew who looked like a beard and didn't feel exactly white. As for the last one, Zach, Zhang Xian knows.
"Julie, it's awesome to see you again!" The leader laughed, and when he saw Zhu Jia**, he opened his hand and shouted, "Julie, let's make a storm again, let's kill those nasty ghosts again!"
Zhu Jiarun smiled happily, but didn't step forward, "Crazy Sean, my boyfriend is here." If you don't want him to duel with you, don't think about hugging me. ”
Needless to say, it should be Sean Parker.
Parker muttered, "My man, I don't think there's a man worthy of you." Let me see what kind of guy is going to make you so obsessed, you haven't hugged us since we met. The reason I hate you, whether you have a boyfriend or this is not in line with Chinese etiquette, it's just a polite hug, that's social etiquette!"
Very similar to Parker is Dustin Moskowitz, he looks more personable, simply shaking hands with Zhu Jiarun, and Zack, who feels a little shy, smiled happily when he saw Zhu Jia**, as if he saw a very good friend.
"Hey, my guys. This is my boyfriend, and I think you've wanted to know him for a long time. ”
Hearing Zhu Jiarun's introduction, Zack and the others all smiled and shook hands with Zhang Xian and briefly introduced themselves, but Zhang Xian felt a little creepy, because these guys were constantly looking at Zhang Xian.
"I know this guy, his website is very similar to Facebook, and I've been following it. ”
"Dude, you've got the best girlfriend, good luck!"
"Nice to meet you, bless you, Zhang. Julie is a wonderful girl, you should cherish her and protect her!"
Zhu Jiarun smiled and hugged Zhang Xian's arm, and Zhang Xian led the guests into the house, beer and red wine were on the table, and there were a lot of snacks, and the atmosphere looked very harmonious.
Parker, who seemed to be the most cheerful and open-minded, immediately raised his glass, "It would be nice if Chris was here, we just moved the company to Silicon Valley, and I was at my girlfriend's house, although she quickly kicked me out." I miss that good time, even though we had to lay on the floor and didn't have any staff, but it was a very happy time. ”
Dustin laughed too, and seemed to agree with this, "It was a good time indeed, a down-and-out bankrupt hacker, and a couple of young people who dropped out of Harvard. And of course, don't forget our eternal queen, although she is the youngest, but she has great ideas, she not only takes care of our lives, but also brings an investment to the development of the site!"
Zhu Jiarun smiled and raised his beer and said, "Hey, dude, my boyfriend is here." So forget about that time, I didn't tell him about it, he just knew that I invested in Facebook. ”
Zhang Xian just laughed next to him, he really didn't know that Zhu Jiarun had been in the United States for a while, and he didn't know that she had made a lot of contributions to the development of Facebook. However, he was not unhappy, because he could see that Zhu Jiarun was very happy.
"Julie, we're all very happy to be back!" Zach was happy, looking genuinely happy, "You're one of our best friends, even though we've only been together for less than half a year, although we've only been in touch by phone or email since then." Julie, welcome back, we need you and we miss you so much. ”
"Like Owen Van Nata or Eduardo Saverin?" Zhu Jiarun smiled and said indifferently, "My guys, I don't want you to betray me. I can't talk about these topics, and he always thought I was a very simple and kind girl. ”
With a burst of laughter, Parker looked at Zhang Xian sympathetically, "Zhang, good luck! I think you need to be careful, I know you are rich now, but watch your account and wallet." And you have to understand that she has a few great buddies, and we're going to be on her side, don't let us know you're making her sad, or we'll fix you hard. ”
After Parker's words were finished, Zhang Xian looked at him a little stunned, and what was even more unexpected was naturally not Parker's cruel words, but Dustin and Zach seemed to have the same attitude.
"Don't forget Chris, he'll support Julie as well. I think Eduardo will support Julie, even if he leaves Facebook. Dustin also laughed, very serious, "We've grown Facebook very well, we've accomplished our ideals, we've created a great company." ”
Zhu Jiarun put down his beer and said with a smile, "But I think this should be Mark's company, which belongs to his company." ”
Zuckerberg was surprised, but not surprised, and Dustin didn't say anything, just silently drinking.
As for Parker, he immediately laughed, "Julie, I knew it was going to happen! Facebook has so many shareholders right now, and I hate those board guys." Mark should take control of Facebook, we shouldn't let Yahoo or Microsoft bastards control Facebook, it shouldn't be like this, we can't sell the company, it's so potential, it's more than we think!"
"So it's a shame that Eduardo left Facebook, but he did influence the development of Facebook. I admire Owen, but he shouldn't think we need to sell the site. Guys, Facebook can become a behemoth like Google, and we should ensure Facebook's independence!" Zhu Jiarun looked at Zuckerberg and said very seriously.
Parker looked at Zhu Jiarun and asked very seriously, "Julie, so you agree to dual shares? We need to redivide the shareholding structure of the board of directors, we need super voting rights! We need financing, we need to go public, but Mark needs to control the majority of Facebook's shares, and we can't tolerate the voice of selling Facebook to Yahoo or Microsoft again!"
Zhang Xian's heart jumped, he now knew the meaning of dual shares.
This is an effective means of achieving control over the company, because in a dual-class share structure, shares are usually divided into two types of voting rights, high and low, with higher voting shares having more decision-making power.
"I believe that Facebook will need financing to grow, but it is very likely that he will no longer have full control of the company. Guys, we need to guarantee Mark's absolute control over Facebook. We now have the majority of Facebook shares, and we can guarantee the execution of this plan. But we also need to guarantee voting proxy agreements for the future!"
Hearing Zhu Jiarun's words, Parker was applauding and cheering, and Zuckerberg couldn't help but smile on his face, really happy.
Because if the two-tier shareholding structure is implemented, Zuckerberg will receive a large number of voting rights, and he will receive a large number of Class B shares, and this voting proxy agreement is to ensure that Zuckerberg is authorized to vote on behalf of the shareholders on certain occasions that require shareholder voting, and this agreement will remain in effect after the IPO is completed.
So in other words, even if Zuckerberg's stake in Facebook drops, his stake plus proxy voting rights can achieve absolute control over Facebook!
"Julie, I know you've always supported me and Mark!" Parker said happily and sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I would have been driven out a long time ago, and I would have become an outsider, no matter how well Facebook develops." And Mark, I think he's been thanking you all the time. I even suspect that he's with Priscilla because of you!"
Zuckerberg coughed awkwardly, and Dustin, who had been drinking, nodded silently, and as for Zhang Xian, he looked at Zhu Jiarun a little annoyed as if he didn't understand.
"You give me a little care, wait for them to leave, and watch my punishment wait!"
Zhu Jiarun leaned on Zhang Xian's shoulder and whispered, "I can guarantee that I have never liked him, not at all!"
Dustin, who hadn't spoken much, looked at Zach and suddenly said, "Julie, I know you've found your own happiness, and Mark now has a girlfriend." But Julie, don't let Mark get drunk anymore, though you don't know that, although you never thought he would be sad. ”
At this time, Zhu Jiarun became annoyed and angry, and said loudly, "Can't you see that the atmosphere is very awkward now? Don't say this again, I don't care if Mark will be embarrassed, I just don't want my boyfriend to misunderstand! Mark, I'm glad you have a girlfriend, but you knew from the beginning that we were just friends, right?"
In the eyes of Parker and Dustin looking at the hilarious and gloating, the embarrassed Zuckerberg stood up and said, "Zhang, Julie and I have always been just friends and business partners......"
Parker and Dustin began to shush, making the embarrassed Zuckerberg even more embarrassed, "Zhang, I've never pursued Julie, I knew she had a boyfriend, I knew it from the beginning. I have never intervened in your feelings, and I will support you and bless you. And I have a girlfriend and we're so happy together!"
Zhang Xian suddenly felt that he was no longer a person inside and outside recently, looking at Zhu Jiarun who was watching the play, Zhang Xian felt that he had to clean her up at night, he had to!
