The sun shines through the window lattice, but it is not as popular as imagined, just like Lin Fan's smiling face now, Jack doesn't like it at all.

"Lin, you're too greedy. ”

Lin Fan smiled and said that he didn't care, this is the expression of Westerners, and the dissatisfaction with the negotiation will be directly expressed, "Jack, although we are friends, I am still a businessman." ”

"Five million dollars to take 80 percent of the company's shares, I wouldn't agree to it at all. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you mean that now your company is worth more than what I gave?"

Jack was speechless, Twitter was worth less than a million dollars now, but how could he allow the reins of his company to be handed over now?

However, Jack quickly reacted, "Lin, you are sophistry, although Twitter does not see its value now, it will definitely be more than seven million dollars in the future." ”

"I can't pay for your dreams with an illusory future, and although every investment can't make money, I won't squander my money, and you don't have the basis to convince me accurately. Lin Fan looked calm, "I can't see anything about your users, advertising placement, Twitter's potential and profitability." ”

"With these dozen pages of information?" Lin Fan shook off the document in his hand, and then said earnestly, "Creation requires perceptual thinking and our imagination, but doing business must be rational, Jack, you should understand this." ”

Jack didn't say much, from the beginning of the negotiation, Lin Fan held the initiative, in fact, he really couldn't refute it, Twitter just started a business, but the reality was not as good as he imagined, Twitter was not accepted. And he is just a child from an ordinary family on the West Coast, and his savings have been used up in order to start a business, and he needs to bring in investment to continue his dream.

Jack's face turned red and he quickly organized his words, but he was not good at persuasion, "Lin, I can only accept a maximum of forty percent of the shares of five million dollars, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the other two partners." ”

Lin Fan blinked his eyes, forty percent is already a lot, and even wait until the future to introduce investment, everyone's shares are diluted, he can become the largest shareholder, and he can be in charge of Twitter, he is already very satisfied with this result, but he still wants to go further.

"Jack, would you like to hear my opinion on Twitter's development?"

Jack was stunned, "Of course." ”

"Twitter as a social software, if you want to develop must have enough people to use, the first thing Twitter needs to do after getting funding is to promote it on the website, followed by hype, social software must be connected with society or people themselves in order to be widely noticed, in other words, to make people aware of the interesting and important ....... of Twitter"

Lin Fan's words really aroused Jack's interest, and Jack couldn't help frowning, "But Twitter itself just wants to share the user's own mood essays and connect with society and people, isn't this against the original intention of Twitter?"

"Twitter's own sharing function is to share with everyone, and now it's just a function to add real friends. Of course, the most important thing is to arouse heated discussions in the society, which can quickly help Twitter attract attention, such as the use of Twitter to promote the US presidential election, or the outbreak of a major event, which happens to be shared by a Twitter user on the spot, but an ordinary user publishes the news faster than the news media, can you imagine that kind of situation?"

"Oh my god, that's a great idea, and it would be cool if the president shared it in real time with my Twitter as well. Lin Fan's words undoubtedly opened a door to a new world for Jack.

What Lin Fan said is not untargeted, the Twitter fire is after 09 years, 08 Obama will use Twitter to promote the election, 09 years the world pop king Michael Jackson died at home, a passerby just passed by and then posted a message on Twitter: Oh my God, I passed by Mike Jackson's house just now and found that someone was carried out, something must have happened. After that, CNN and the Associated Press both quoted Twitter's news, and Twitter became popular.

"Jack, now we can move on to investing, shall we?"

Jack looked excited, "Lin, you haven't told me what to do next?"

Lin Fan shook his finger, "Jack, I just want to tell you that by introducing my funds, you are not only an investor, but also a partner, and I will show the way for the development of Twitter." ”

Jack was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Lin, you are really a cunning negotiator. ”

Lin Fan didn't care about Jack's reaction, but said seriously, "I think I can get forty-five percent of the shares for five million dollars." ”

Jack was depressed, Lin Fan's bid had already reached a valuation of $10 million on Twitter, which was already very polite. He finally nodded, "I'll convince my partner." ”

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. Lin Fan smiled, and then said, "I will grant you my voting rights on the board of directors when I am not in the United States, and I will not send financial personnel to Twitter, you are also my financial officer." ”

Although he had just promised to give Lin Fan so many shares, Jack was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but now he was a little moved by this trust.

"Well, I actually have one more condition. Lin Fan patted Jack on the shoulder, "I hope that the next round of financing will still have me joining." ”

Jack hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, even if Lin Fan would become the largest shareholder because he was really not sure if the next round of financing would have venture capitalists interested in Twitter.

"Now it's time to wish us a happy cooperation. ”

"I'm glad we don't have to meet at the table again. ”

"I'm glad your dream came true. ”

.......

Finalizing Twitter's investment can be regarded as a big piece of Lin Fan's heart. Twitter is a very important part of his layout, but he can't go to the United States now, and mortals are also in the stage of rapid development, he can only show Jack a little direction, lay a good foundation, and wait for his own development in the future, of course, maybe he will meet Jack at that time, after all, Twitter only needs one leader.

"Mr. Lin, why are you smiling so happily?" Xu Sheng walked through the door.

Lin Fan spread his hands proudly, "I just spent another five million dollars, of course I'm happy." ”

A trace of worry flashed between Xu Sheng's eyebrows, but seeing Lin Fan so happy, he didn't say much, "Boss, Jinshan asked when you left for Shencheng." ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go. Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, the acquisition of WPS is the top priority.
