The Bombardier G550 has a range of up to 14,000 kilometers, so Gu Cheng flew directly from Seoul to San Francisco without taking a large plane from the airline. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this world, there are probably no more people who are as busy as him.

The day before, I was still worried about the artist draft in the entertainment industry and pulling fans for the operation of the SNS photo sharing community; The next day, he flew to the other side of the ocean to deal with the job-hopping and self-reliance of an IT genius who would have become a generation of giants in a parallel time and space.

He didn't even go home, but just called his cousin and informed her that he would fly directly to the United States, and he would not return to China for the time being.

On the plane, Gu Cheng took the time to read Li Ying's long email, and roughly understood Zuckerberg's motives for flashing people.

It's also ridiculous to say that Zuckerberg wants to go it alone for two reasons.

First of all, Gu Cheng put his heart into his heart and let him do nearly two years of technical work Finally, Zuckerberg has a deep understanding of the social operation routines of YY.com, photo face recognition technology, and even the new applications of deep learning algorithms that Gu Cheng is preparing to transform (such as user behavior portraits and user preference analysis), and has also found the direction of struggle for the rest of his life.

Zach is a rebellious man who is destined to be a chicken and not a cow, and with a little ability, he has discovered a track where "everyone in the world, including Professor Jeff Hinton's newly graduated doctoral students, is starting from the same starting line in a new field that has just opened up".

On this track, whether it is an IT elite who has been in the industry for ten or twenty years, or a young person who has just made a little gain, the opportunity is equal, and the possibility of making mistakes is also equal.

And in addition to what Gu Cheng is already doing, the prospects of deep learning artificial intelligence are simply limitless, and there are countless non-repeating subdivisions, which are enough to raise hundreds of future bulls.

Such a prospect naturally made Zuckerberg, who had learned his skills, unable to hold it in his heart.

Even if Li Ying made the decision and was willing to increase Zack's personal shares to 10% of YY.com, and give up the position of CEO, she couldn't appease the other party.

What Zach wants is Gu Cheng's position.

Or do it yourself and start another company. Even if the scale of the business in the future is only one-tenth of YY.com, he has to make his own decisions.

Of course, because of Gu Cheng's butterfly effect, Zach has missed the best period. He is destined to have no chance to have another homogeneous competition with Gu Cheng.

Social networks are such a thing, if you miss it, you miss it, and you don't have a chance to do it again.

HISTORICALLY, ZAK WAS THE PREDECESSOR OF FACEBOOK THAT BEGAN TO ENGAGE IN FACEBOOK DURING THE WINTER VACATION OF 2004, AND DOMINATED THE EAST COAST SCHOOLS IN THE SECOND SEMESTER AND THE WEST COAST TO OCCUPY THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA MARKET BEFORE THE END OF 04.

NOW, GU CHENG HAS BEEN WORKING SINCE THE SEMESTER OF SEPTEMBER 03, AND THERE IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT, COUPLED WITH GU CHENG'S ABUNDANT FUNDS, THE DIRECTION OF THE HIGH-LEVEL GUIDANCE, AND THE STEADY AND SWIFT OPERATION AND PROMOTION TEAM LED BY LI YING, BYPASSING THE WANDERING AND CONFUSED PERIOD OF "JUST A HARVARD CAMPUS NETWORK" IN THE EARLY STAGE OF FACEBOOK'S DEVELOPMENT.

AFTER 20 MONTHS OF RAPID SURGE, THE COVERAGE EFFECT OF YY IN THE MI MARKET HAS ROUGHLY REACHED THE LEVEL OF FACEBOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF 06 IN THE SAME PERIOD IN HISTORY.

……

And there is another reason why Zach chose to resign at this specific point in time.

This reason was confirmed when Gu Cheng rushed to Silicon Valley, personally met with Zach and Li Ying, and talked about the three sides.

It's also a coincidence, fate makes people. On the one hand, Zach has become a little more timid than in another time and space, and he has lost the courage to break the kettle and give up his Harvard degree.

Don't think it's strange, unless it's a billionaire, it's hard for the vast majority of people to make up the golden sign of "Harvard graduation" without getting the spiritual hint of their victory.

IN ANOTHER PERIOD OF HISTORY, THE REASON WHY ZAK DECISIVELY ABANDONED HIS ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS AND DROPPED OUT OF BUSINESS AFTER ONLY THE FIRST SEMESTER OF HIS JUNIOR YEAR AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FACEBOOK FOR A FULL YEAR, IS BECAUSE AT THAT POINT IN TIME, HIS SHARES IN THE COMPANY HAVE BEEN VALUED BY VENTURE CAPITAL IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

That's why he can afford to gamble.

At present, although YY has been developing in the United States for so long, it is at least valued at nearly $1 billion, but Zuckerberg himself is just an executive who works part-time to get options, and once he resigns and works alone, these options cannot be obtained.

At best, the money he got with real money in the past 20 months, that is, legitimate executive compensation, plus various small-scale related party transactions and even kickbacks with technical partners, it is easy to get millions of dollars, but tens of millions are already difficult.

A few million dollars is not enough to give people the confidence to abandon a Harvard degree. After all, Zuckerberg, who is also 84 years old, is only 21 years old now, and his life is so long, maybe he will still use his Harvard degree?

However, Harvard University also has a system of early graduation for outstanding students.

Not to mention anything else, at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) next door, Li Ying completed it in 3 years - she still studied for a bachelor's and master's degree, studied at the age of 17, graduated at the age of 20, and then Acnor for two or three years, and finally came to work for Gu Cheng.

At Harvard, there is also a minimum 3-year graduation system, if you are strong enough to take more credits, you can double take two degrees in 3 years.

So, Zuckerberg finally chose to be more secure and finish his degree while starting a business. Anyway, because Li Ying and Saverin are in charge of promotion and internal operations, Zack's workload in this time and space is much less than that of parallel time and space, and he is smart, so he still has the energy to make up the credits for his degree.

"I'll be graduating next month, and I have an idea of my own, and it's been built here anyway, so I can turn around without me. I hope you can let me go smoothly - we are just business partners, the contract is originally a cooperative nature, not an employment nature, and Saverin and I are both ungraduated students, so in theory we are not full-time employees. Of course, I can give you a handover period. ”

Sitting in the reception room of the office building in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, Zuckerberg had a cup of unfrequented coffee in front of him, and he said it to Gu Cheng and Li Ying so calmly, and the tone didn't seem to be talking about breaking up.

"So, it's not that Sister Li excludes you - even if you are given the position of CEO, you won't stay?" Gu Cheng didn't care, and finally confirmed.

Zuckerberg's spirit is completely different from the freshman he met two years ago.

He seemed to be introverted, much more mature, and even a little eerie.

In the face of Gu Cheng's aggressive questioning, Zack's answer was also free:

"Of course - it has nothing to do with her. But in fact, how much do you ask about what you say, even if it has something to do with her, when I say this, it is impossible to stay, right? If I threaten to leave, and you give me her CEO, then what am I for? Will you obey me? After a year and a half, you have figured out my entrepreneurial intentions and hole cards, and when I miss the outlet, will you not intensify the liquidation of me? ”

Li Ying became anxious when she heard this, hurriedly grabbed Gu Cheng's hand, and shook it a few times involuntarily: "I really don't, he's provoking!" ”

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Li Ying looks a little haggard than last year, and her panda-like dark circles are very thick, so she should be busy. The black long straight hair parted in the middle is also slightly dry, and the whole person lacks a luster and lacks moisture.

This shape is very deceptive, and it is easy for men to have the illusion of pity.

Of course, Gu Cheng is absolutely calm.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out what's going on in the company." Gu Cheng motioned to Li Ying not to think about it, and shook off the royal sister's hand. Then he quietly turned to Zuckerberg, "Then can I ask what projects you plan to start after you leave?" If that's not a trade secret. ”

Zuckerberg was very frank at this time: "How can this tell you, Gu, do you think I don't know how powerful you are now?" In the United States and Canada, nearly 30 million people use your YY network. If I tell you my idea, you'll have it laid out in advance. ”

As of the first half of 05, the total users of YY network are about 40 million, 30 million in North America, and the remaining more than 10 million are distributed in other major English-speaking countries in the world, and a few in Dongyi and Fuso.

However, with the penetration of Gu Cheng's Dongyi folk entertainment circle this year, Renren, which is still dominated by Chinese versions in the future, will become more popular. As for the chat software that matches the SNS community website, it is the unified YY, including the international version of YY (multi-Chinese version)

Zuckerberg is afraid that Gu Cheng will plagiarize his inner creativity, so it is normal that he is reluctant to say it.

Gu Cheng knew that he couldn't ask, so he didn't do meaningless nonsense: "You're afraid that I'll copy you, so it seems that your creativity must be related to socializing." ”

This time, Zuckerberg didn't answer right away, and subconsciously stalked his neck and was silent for a few seconds, as if he was contemplating quickly. After knowing that he couldn't deceive Gu Cheng, he happily admitted it frankly: "It's really related to socializing, but I'm not stupid, and I won't compete with you in the same way." ”

Gu Cheng smiled: "That's okay, your thoughts are so clear, I believe that your departure has nothing to do with Sister Li - if you left because you were excluded, you wouldn't be so prepared." ”

Zuckerberg acquiesced.

Li Ying also breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes moistened all of a sudden. She has been exhausted in running YY this year, and if Gu Cheng is suspected of monopolizing power and squeezing out her colleagues, she will not be wronged to death in her heart.

"However, the handover period that should be taken is still necessary - I can leave on time until July 1st, but before that, you have to hand over the relevant materials of the company well, I don't allow you to do the thing of stepping on two boats during this time, otherwise wait for my lawyer to see you in court."

Gu Cheng finally gave Zuckerberg a word, and signaled that he could flash.
