The day after reaching a verbal agreement with Gore Verbinski, Severn returned to San Francisco with Andre.

Severn drove to Silicon Valley again, but instead of looking for Martin Eberhard at NuvoMedia, Severn stopped in front of a small café outside Google.

Severn waited in this small café for about half an hour, and then saw a brown-haired mature ~ woman in her thirties walking in, wearing a black professional outfit, and her aura was very powerful.

When Severn saw her come in, he hurriedly stood up and walked over to greet her:

"Hello, Ms. Sydney, I'm Severn Spencer."

Sydney Sandberg is another target of Severn's visit to the United States, and this figure is more important in Severn's heart than Martin Eberhard.

You can see that Severn was the last to find her.

In order not to affect the meeting with Sydney Sandberg, Severn took care of all the chores he needed to deal with in the United States before making an appointment.

But Sydney Sandberg also deserves Severn to do this to her.

Because in later life, she served as the chief operating officer of Facebook, was called "the first lady of Facebook" by the media, and she was also the first female member of Facebook's board of directors.

The so-called chief operating officer refers to the officer who formulates the long-term strategy of the enterprise and supervises the general manager of each branch to carry out the work.

In 2013, she was featured on the cover of Time magazine and was named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine.

Sydney Sandberg glanced at Severn, and then smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Spencer, I didn't expect us to meet in the United States, and it was you who called and invited me." ”

Some time ago, Google sent people to the United Kingdom to prepare to take a stake in Severn's Facebook and want to buy out the right to use Happy Farm, but Severn refused, and even the Google employees sent out did not even see Severn.

For a time, Severn also became a celebrity within Google.

Therefore, Sydney was indeed a little surprised by Severn's appointment.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that, please take a seat."

Severn Gentleman's Way to Sydney Sandberg.

Severn pays great attention to his image, and he usually wears a suit when he meets any important person, so that he looks mature, so his style does not seem abrupt or disobedient.

"What do you want to drink?"

"A macchiato, thank you."

Although Sydney's heart was full of doubts about Severn's sudden invitation to herself today, her years of professional career also made her not show any superfluous expressions, and after the coffee came up, she took a sip of coffee before she asked slowly:

"I don't know how Mr. Spencer got my contact information?"

Severn leaned back on the sofa, crossed his hands, and said with a relaxed expression: "Did Ms. Sydney forget that the information of your Google employees has been posted on the Internet?" ”

Google is in the business of the Internet, so their use of the Internet has penetrated into all aspects of the company.

Hearing Severn's answer, Sydney couldn't help but show a look of enlightenment, and then laughed at herself: "It seems that Mr. Spencer knows Google better than me." ”

Severn chuckled and shook his head, "It's all about the Internet, so I naturally need to understand and learn about Google." ”

"I wonder what Mr. Spencer came to me for this time? Do you want to sell the right to use Happy Farm? Or will it agree to let Google take a stake in Facebook? Sydney asked wittily, like a normal conversation between friends.

Sydney is now the vice president of online sales at Google, so it's no surprise that she is speaking from Google.

Severn said with a smile: "Ms. Sydney is really joking, I don't plan to sell Facebook's equity and the right to use Happy Farm for the time being, so Ms. Sydney is still dead." ”

"Really? That's really bad news for me. Although Sydney said this, her expression and tone were very light, and it was obvious that she had just said it casually.

Severn naturally understood, so he didn't take Sydney's words to heart.

"Ms. Sydney, I sincerely invite you to join us on Facebook this time."

Severn was the first to break the topic of small talk and get straight to the point.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Sydney Sandberg put down the coffee he was about to drink, and said to Severn with a curious expression:

"Mr. Spencer, are you kidding me?"

She is now the vice president of Internet sales at Google, but she didn't expect Severn to dare to poach her.

When it came to the topic, Severn couldn't help but sit upright, and said to Sydney with a slightly serious expression: "Of course not, I sincerely invite you to join our Facebook company and be the chief operating officer of our company." ”

Seeing Severn's serious look, Sydney believed that Severn was most serious, and he really wanted to poach himself to Facebook.

For a while, Sydney didn't know how to reply.

Seeing this, Severn hurriedly said: "I believe that Ms. Sydney, you also know the current situation of our Facebook, now our Facebook users have exceeded three million, and we have made more than 10 million pounds thanks to Happy Farm, and this is only in the UK."

We at Facebook are preparing to expand overseas markets, so the future development of Facebook will be unimaginable! ”

Sydney Sandberg agrees with Severn's words, and she is also optimistic about the future development of Facebook, to be precise, many people are optimistic about the development of Facebook, so Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo will want to invest in Facebook.

However, people from big companies such as Google and Yahoo are optimistic about Facebook's development in the UK, and they are not very optimistic about its overseas market, because the general trend of the Internet economy is like this.

The financial community generally sings about the Internet economy.

Sydney Sandberg doesn't think so, because she has an in-depth understanding of Facebook's product, and it can be said that it accurately captures the psychology of users, and to a certain extent, changes the way people communicate, and is highly sought after by young people in the UK.

Once Facebook expands its overseas markets, it is believed that most young people around the world will be attacked by Facebook.

Therefore, Severn's words couldn't help but make Sydney Sandberg fall into deep thought.

"Ms. Sydney, I know that I still lack my own management ability, so for the future development of Facebook, I urgently need a talent like you, once you join Facebook, your status is second only to me. Although Facebook is still small, we can see its future development, can't we? ”

Severn was a little relieved in her heart, to be precise, she was very moved, but she still had some concerns, after all, she had only been at Google for a short time, and she was appointed as the vice president of Google Internet Sales.

Perhaps seeing Sydney's concerns, Severn said again:

"Ms. Sydney, you can rest assured that once you join our company, you will own 15% of the equity and will never be diluted."

This sentence made Sydney wake up from her contemplation, and looked at Severn in some surprise, she didn't expect Severn to be willing to pay such a big price for herself.

You know, Google, Yahoo and other companies paid to buy Facebook's equity, but Severn didn't sell it, but he didn't expect that in order to invite himself to join Facebook, Severn was willing to take out 15% of the equity.

Sydney knows that if she stays at Google, she will not own equity, and at most she can only sit in the position of vice president and work for Google.

Severn's words made Sydney feel a strong sense of emotion, but Sydney took a deep breath, forced herself to press down on her restless heart, and tried to make her tone appear flat.

"I need to think about it."

This sentence immediately made Severn overjoyed, "It's okay, Ms. Sydney, you can think about it slowly, no matter when our Facebook door is open for you, and there will be no change in your treatment." ”

"Thank you for taking it so seriously." Sydney was slightly moved.

"It's okay, you deserve my attention." Severn smiled slightly, "By the way, I'll be in the United States for a while, you don't mind if I come to visit you during this time, right?" ”

Sydney shook her head lightly and smiled, "Of course I don't mind." ”

After speaking, Sydney looked at the time, and then said goodbye to Severn:

"I'm going to work, we'll talk again when we have time."

"Alright, bye-bye."
