In October last year, Fan Xingchen spent 200,000 yuan to buy a domain name facebook.com, and after buying this domain name, he asked the employees of Vipshop to help him create a website, to be precise, facebook.com hang a web page on this website, and log in to this website to see the information transferred by this website, and he left his e-mail address.

At the end of last year, Fan Xingchen received an email from Mark Zuckerberg, and at that time, he was excited, but instead of taking a stake in the other party's upcoming social networking site, he offered to sell the domain name for $30,000 and asked for 10 percent of the shares of the Internet companies that used the website.

Fan Xingchen's English level was too poor, in order to accurately tell Zuckerberg his thoughts, he asked Li Qi for help and replied to Zuckerberg in an English email.

Fan Xingchen knew very well that at the beginning of the establishment of Facebook, he could obtain more than 20% of Facebook's shares with facebook.com domain name and a small amount of money, but he did not do so, after all, he was not a particularly rich person, and he had no experience in successfully investing in Internet companies.

In order to avoid being caught and sliced, Fan Xingchen was patient with investing in Facebook.

Before Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, he didn't have much spare money to buy facebook.com domain name, he saw the email sent by Fan Xingchen, he immediately replied to an email, saying that he couldn't take out too much money to buy a domain name, but he could exchange five percent of the shares for the domain name, in addition, he also told Fan Xingchen that he was going to use this domain name to create a social networking site, and in the future, this social networking site will become a public company with a market value of more than one billion dollars.

FAN XINGCHEN KNOWS THAT THE MARKET VALUE OF FACEBOOK WILL EXCEED $300 BILLION IN THE FUTURE, AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS COMPANY, HE CAN BECOME A SHAREHOLDER, EVEN IF HE ONLY HOLDS FIVE PERCENT OF THE SMALL SHAREHOLDER, AS LONG AS HE HOLDS IT FOR A LONG TIME AND DOES NOT SELL IT, HE CAN BECOME A WORLD-CLASS BILLIONAIRE IN THE FUTURE WITH THESE SHARES.

When Zuckerberg replied to the email, the social networking site he created had not yet been launched, and Fan Xingchen paid 200,000 yuan to buy a domain name in exchange for a 5% stake, which means that the total valuation of the social networking site, which has not yet been seen, is 4 million yuan.

In order to make it more reasonable for him to take a stake in Facebook, Fan Xingchen did not agree to Zuckerberg, but continued to keep in touch with the other party by email to understand the operation of this website in depth.

On Feb. 14, without getting a facebook.com domain name, Zuckerberg created the company "TheFacebook" and used thefacebook.com domain name.

In half a month, more than half of Harvard's online undergraduates became registered users of the site.

Since then, more users have joined "TheFacebook" and expanded to MIT, Boston University, and Boston College. The expansion continued until April 2004 and included all the Ivy League colleges and a number of other schools.

After Fan Xingchen turned on the computer, he connected to broadband, opened IE, logged in to his mailbox, and saw several unread emails, one of which was sent by Zuckerberg.

After opening the email, Fan Xingchen browsed it and only understood a small part of the content.

Fan Xingchen picked up the English dictionary on the computer desk and looked up the meaning of a few English words that he couldn't understand.

Li Qi woke up and saw Fan Xingchen flipping through the English dictionary and sneering.

Fan Xingchen heard the laughter, turned his head to look at Li Qi, and said with a smile: "Qiqi, you are awake, it seems that Zuckerberg and his companions have moved to PaloAlto, California." ”

"PaloAlto?" Li Qi climbed out of bed and stretched, "Do you know what this place is?"

"Know a little bit, Stanford University is located, the birthplace of Silicon Valley. ”

"Does Zuckerberg ask you if you want to invest, or does he ask you to buy a domain name?"

"Last time, I emailed him and said that he would take out the domain name plus $300,000 in cash and hope to get 25 percent of the shares of the website, and he paid him for the domain name plus $400,000 in cash and give me 20 percent of the shares, which have less than 5 percent of the voting rights. ”

Li Qi asked as she got dressed, "How much do you think this domain name facebook.com worth?"

"$100,000 for $100,000 in shares. ”

"So, TheFacebook is now valued at $2 million?"

"yes!"

"Are you going to invest?"

"Hmm!" Fan Xingchen nodded, "Today, we will go to a travel agency and apply for a visa to the United States as soon as possible, you accompany me to California, and I will meet Zuckerberg." ”

"400,000 US dollars, more than 3 million yuan!" Li Qi smiled, "This is not a small amount of money, are you willing to spend it?"

"I can't bear the child can't catch the wolf, and I can't let the daughter-in-law catch the hooligan!"

"It's unbearable. Li Qi got dressed and walked to Fan Xingchen's side, "I can read the email." ”

"Absolutely. Fan Xingchen smiled, "Sit on my lap." ”

Li Qi smiled and sat on Fan Xingchen's lap generously.

Li Qi took less than two minutes to read the entire email, turned his head to the side face of Fan Xingchen, and asked, "Are you really planning to invest in Zuckerberg's website?"

"That's right!" Fan Xingchen nodded with a smile, "WIFE, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THIS MONEY GOING DOWN THE DRAIN, THEFACEBOOK, I HAVE LOGGED IN, I THINK IT'S VERY INTERESTING, THE FOUNDER OF THIS WEBSITE IS VERY THOUGHTFUL, MAYBE I INVEST $400,000 NOW, AND I CAN GET MORE THAN TEN TIMES THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN A YEAR." ”

"Your vision is not bad, since you want to invest, then invest, I support you!"

"Hehe!" Fan Xingchen smiled proudly, "I invested in Qdian.com, and I have achieved success, and it can be regarded as a successful case, Vipshop, Xunlei Express, and Alipay, these three companies have developed quite smoothly, hehe, the more I think about it, the more I admire myself!"

"It's not good for you to do this, pride makes people regress. Li Qi grinned and quipped.

"I'm not proud, I'm confident. ”

"I like your confidence. ”

"Kiss me!" Fan Xingchen smiled and pointed to his cheek.

"Let's go!" Li Qi kissed Fan Xingchen's lips.

"It's not fun to kiss, I want a kiss. Fan Xingchen said that he wanted to kiss Li Qi's lips, but was pushed away by the other party.

"The toothbrushes are not brushed, and they smell bad. Li Qi stood up and smiled, "I'll go wash up first." ”

"Ha!" Fan Xingchen put his hand in front of his mouth and exhaled, "There is no smell." ”

"I smell bad, okay?"

"I don't think you smell. Fan Xingchen also stood up, "I didn't wash either, I went into the bathroom with you to wash." ”

"You wait a little longer, I want convenience. ”
