Chapter 53: Facebook (Part II)

Zuckerberg's office, Delaware.

After reading the domain name transfer contract brought by Jin Zhongming, Zuckerberg rubbed his bloodshot eyes, looked up at Mario, and said, "Mr. Mario, I hope to talk to Mr. Woodkin alone." ”

Jin Zhongming nodded and motioned for Mario to go out and wait for a while.

"Wood, I can call you that. Saying this, Zuckerberg didn't mean to ask Kim Jongming for consent, he was probably just chattering. "Now there are many people queuing up at the door to invest in me, why should I accept your 20 million?"

"The reason is, of course, very simple, that I have more than half the amount of things I get than they do. Isn't it natural to do business and sell more to whom? Besides, I have a lot of preferential conditions attached to it. Although Jin Zhongming said that it was the first time to talk about business, he didn't feel too nervous, perhaps because the young man opposite who was a little fat was just a standard otaku.

"What are the many offers, except for this domain?" Zuckerberg slightly raised some interest.

"First of all, I want very little equity, and I'm willing to give up any intention of dictating to this company. Not to mention the Wall Street crocodiles, even your $15,000 brother can't match that. I can even directly sign an equity agency contract and unconditionally hand over the rights of each of my shares in the company to you as an agent. Jin Zhongming directly said his hole cards, there was no way, he was really anxious.

"Boy, your negotiation level is terrible! But you really pay attention to our company, and you even know the story of 15,000. When Zuckerberg said this, he suddenly opened his worried eyes and looked at Jin Zhongming tightly. "I want to ask you two more things. ”

"Please. ”

"It can be seen that you are not a rich second generation or something, so this 20 million dollars should be all yours. Now that something like this has happened in our company, you have so much confidence in Facebook? And how do you know about that community head?" Zuckerberg asked.

The things he said about the company, the $15,000 'good brothers' and the 'club heads' mentioned by Kim Jong-ming, are actually talking about the same person and the same thing -- his classmate, Eduardo Savirin, a Brazilian classmate.

At the beginning of last year, Zuckerberg decided to make a name for himself, so he approached Saverin, who was known as the "head of the investment community", and Saverin gave him $15,000 to rent a server. But since the beginning of this year, Facebook has begun to expand gradually, and although it is still making great strides among students, in fact, the management has set its sights on the regular network, and this purchase of the domain name that Kim Jong Ming saved before this time is the first step.

However, with the implementation of commercialization, the contradictions between Zuckerberg and Saverin began to emerge and intensified. In March, Mr. Zuckerberg was outraged by Mr. Zuckerberg's use of Facebook to advertise his private company. And his previous role - financing - has also become dispensable with the entry of professional managers. Now there is a lot of incompatibility between the ambitious technophile and the idle rich and handsome. Just last month, another incident happened that made Zuckerberg have become unbearable with him, and the tech nerd left Harvard and prepared to seriously restructure the company, but even if he was willing to provide a plane ticket, Gao Fushuai didn't bother to come to the company to sign.

Of course, history and reality will prove that technical nerds have ambition and ruthlessness, and they can completely counterattack the rich and handsome. Why is Zuckerberg hiding in Delaware now? Because he wants to set up a leather bag company to control Facebook in reverse, and even if he and Facebook suffer a lot of losses, he will kick Saverin out! This is the real killing of 1,000 enemies and 800 self-losses.

"First of all, I have more confidence in Facebook than ever!" Kim Jong-ming calmed down and began to answer the other party's questions, the other party is a technical nerd, so answer him logically, don't talk about emotional words. "Second, just look at Saverin's identity and background, and then look at you, and say that you two can live in peace, what about deceitful ghosts? and then look at where you are now, what do you want to do, as long as you have a little common sense of economic means, you will probably understand. ”

"Do you know, then, Saverin?" said Zuckerberg, whose spirit was completely free from sleep deprivation.

"No, he's a rich and handsome, he's very confident, and now he's happily doing something at Harvard that he thinks will make a lot of money. Jin Zhongming looked at the technical nerd opposite him holding a pen and constantly calculating something, which seemed to be some simple addition and subtraction of three or four digits from his side.

Zuckerberg did not continue to talk, but was concentrating on the arithmetic problem, Jin Zhongming suddenly understood in his head, and he also kept quiet and looked at the other party's calculations carefully.

"Look at this!" Zuckerberg handed over the piece of paper in his hand and began to explain in earnest. "The original equity was 40% of mine, 24% of Saverin, 16% of Moskowitz, 9% of Peter, and the rest I was going to leave to the staff, and this Brazilian bastard signed an agreement with me in April of this year for 3 million common shares, and he will give up his voting rights, and everything is easy to do with this. I got $12.7 million in venture capital from AccelPartners last month, and I was going to use that to throw Saverin out, but with your $20 million, it's much easier. ”

Speaking late, he pointed to the numbers on the paper with a pen and analyzed it with Jin Zhongming.

"I was going to issue 9 million new shares, but now we can issue 23 million new shares! Give you 9 million, I'm going to take 10 million, and Peter and they will share the remaining 4 million. How's that way you'll get 15 percent of the shares, and Saverin will drop to 5 percent! Of course Peter and I will stay the same!" Zach looked up at Jin Zhongming.

"I think it's good, and I can also give you the right to vote, that's what I just said!" Kim Jong was reassured.

"Give me the right to vote, and you're not afraid of ending up like Saverin one day?" Zuckerberg looked at the big donor with a smile.

"First of all, Mark, I can call you that. Jin Zhongming also responded with a smile.

"Of course, whatever. Mark Zuckerberg spread his hands.

"I don't think you're going to do that, and this time next year our company will grow to an incredible point, and as a big global company, if you dare to do this kind of thing three times, Facebook will be bankrupt. Secondly, I repeat again, I will not point fingers at the company, I will sign if you ask me to sign, and I will pay for the ticket myself. In the end, it doesn't matter if I fall to the point where Saverin is, because I'm here for money, and I can't do a life like yours, and if I had to choose between you and Saverin, I would definitely live like Saverin. ”

"Haha, it seems that everyone wants a rich and handsome life, but why don't I want to? Forget it, Wood, call your Mr. Mario in, this domain name is an addition! I'll ask the company's lawyer to come over, let's let them draft the equity contract." Mark looked up and laughed dryly, not knowing whether he was laughing at Saverin and Kim Jong Ming or laughing at himself. But forget it, it's none of Jin Zhongming's business.

"Happy cooperation!" Kim Jong Ming stood up, straightened his clothes, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Mark Zuckerberg, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

The other party stood up and shook hands with Jin Zhongming, but he didn't say anything like happy cooperation, but said to himself: "The world's big enterprises, it will definitely be!"

ps: Speaking of which, Mark is not the kind of person who easily cedes the stake in Facebook, but it is very strange that he suddenly brought in money from a Wall Street consortium before Facebook was about to take off in 05, you must know that he ignored the $1 billion time, he really regarded Facebook as his everything. Therefore, I carefully checked the information, and finally thought that behind Mark's financing was desperate to get rid of the rich and handsome Saverin, even if Facebook and himself were greatly hurt by this, and although this small financing made Mark's own equity decline, it successfully allowed him to gain the absolute right to speak. If he could accept Wall Street's ridiculous $10 million and give up a 10% share, then there was no reason why he shouldn't accept the protagonist's money. Of course, the date is a bit problematic, in fact, 3 months in advance is the most appropriate, but for novels, it's no problem to cut into Facebook with a domain name.
