readx;? Chapter Two Hundred and Six: Forward!

Su Can came to the Metro Building, the sunlight penetrated through the spotless glass, the corridor of the aisle was dragged to the ground to reflect the light steel keel ceiling overhead, and the aisle penetrated by the light sometimes had a few wisps of light fluttering, and the entire Facebook Chinese Shanghai headquarters carried a kind of tranquility like a big war coming.

There are uniformed guards standing at the entrance of Mén, they are retired soldiers from professional bodyguard companies in China, and you can feel the sense of security when you walk to the mouth of Mén with their body and perseverance and eyes that look straight ahead.

Because of the current emergency situation, Facebook Chinese is now strengthening the peripheral mén defense to prevent some media outlets that urgently need to get the secret news to break in.

Su Can and Li Pengyu walked into the headquarters, and the reception waiter at the front desk hurriedly stood up, perhaps because of some invisible taut aura inside Facebook, or the highest decision-making mind that stepped in from the four professional guards guarding the face at this moment, Su Dong, who was currently regarded as the pillar of Jing God by everyone up and down the Facebook Chinese group, walked in, or made their breathing urgent.

Su Can smiled politely at the three NV children, and walked in with Li Pengyu around the huge mural highlighting the Xing at the entrance of the mén, and the employees passing by had never passed by so consciously to greet them.

"Su Dong", "Li Zhu", "Mr. Mu seems to be in a hurry to see you", "Mr. Liu is also in his office"

It's not that the internal discipline of Facebook is usually loose, but most of the people present are otaku, technology, statistics, mathematics and other professional graduates, and the internal structure of Facebook determines that she is not the kind of enterprise with political struggles in the office, but a relatively open environment, you can ignore the president and greet you or suddenly want to chat with you when you work, and you can also flow to the game area with anyone at any time without any worries to play games and accumulate inspiration. The whole environment is open and transparent, in order to create a great company in this environment.

Usually, even if these otaku meet Su Can into the company, they know that they are their presidents, and then they are buried in their own affairs, and there may even be things like grabbing a printer with the supervisor. This free-spirited working atmosphere is evident everywhere. At this time, most people's eyes were focused on Su Can, and it was obvious that with the gradual heating up of the dispute between the two kings, this has become a major event that the whole company is talking about - the consequences of this incident can indeed affect the future direction of Facebook.

Zhang Wen, who graduated from the Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Science of Tongji University, is a graduate of the class of ninety-seven, and has worked in Facebook for two years, which can be regarded as the first batch of veterans to enter that year, at this time to the old Wu next to him, "I sat down at Starbucks after work yesterday, and casually saw the news of the American president in the newspaper, he is very popular in China, and it seems that he is in contact with several international investors at the economic forum in Beijing, what does this mean, the American Facebook is short of money, and really plans to sell the equity of Facebook Chinese?" So what are we going to do, will there be layoffs then. ”

"It should stop this kind of thing, that Mark Zuckerberg is not a stupid person, if he sells his equity, then wouldn't it be good for the two sides to go to court and put up a lawsuit. Of course, I don't want the company to be sold like this, even though it can push up the market value and get a lot of money, I definitely don't want this to happen. ”

More of these discussions are still going on in Sixia, in bars and cash locker song cities, at special weekend gatherings, at coffee shops, and when Facebook employees gather outside and are curiously asked about this Internet giant by the curiosity of Xiǎo white-collar workers who are concerned by other companies.

Su Can seemed to be breaking through the fog of all kinds of remarks and walking into Mu Guotao's office.

Mu Guotao sat on the leather chair, Liu Wenqiang was in front of his desk, and he was talking about something, and when he saw Su Can come in, both of them got up from their seats and came to the sofa of the round table together.

Mu Guotao said, "When Qiao Shuxin proposed to go back to the United States first, Zack stopped him, saying that he had entrusted the airline to book tickets in a unified manner, and everyone would return to the United States together. And he made it clear that he was going back now, and he hadn't been able to arrange a position for him yet, so he was probably wary of Qiao Shuxin. But Qiao Shuxin left first on the pretext that he had returned to the United States to visit his family and friends, and also on the pretext that his friends had heard that his position in China had been dismissed and had specially held a comfort party for him. Zach said that the American Facebook would send someone to receive him on the day he returned, presumably a commercial investigator and other people, who wanted to monitor Qiao Shuxin.

Liu Wenqiang continued, "But they don't know that Qiao Shuxin has his own way, he used the well-developed toilet in the airport terminal to avoid the investigators sent by the United States, and then sat at the airport Mén entrance into the Lamborghini sent by the airport car rental company that had been booked before, and went directly to Silicon Valley from the mountain_view road in the jurisdiction of Silicon Valley, today Qiao Shuxin said that he had contacted Donald of the Washington Post Group, he was attending a promotional event in Boston, and he might fly to San Francisco tomorrow, where they met." In addition, Dustin and Catherine are at the headquarters in Palo Alto, and Qiao Shuxin is trying to make an appointment with them and Jim, who is also the next partner of Axel, is said to have been in Texas for a week and will not be back for three or four days. As long as Qiao Shuxin gets through the key links one by one, Su Dong, you should be a matter of course. ”

Su Can nodded, but he didn't show the invisible excitement of everyone.

When she walked out of Mén, Kate came to meet her, a man in her forties, but quite a bit of "Yu Wangcheng" Sarah Jessica Taste of the American NV people live in a commercial building near Xujiahui, downstairs is a Shanghai is still a green and shady Xiǎo District, a few steps away from a swimming pool in the center, every day downstairs there are many Xiǎo young families who have just lived in a new commercial building here to push a few months old Xiǎo children for a walk, this is not the same as the United States The spacious and clean streets and even ordinary families are two or three stories of housing, but Kate is difficult to give up here.

When she saw Su Can, Kate's face darkened, and then she came to him and said, "Can you come with me?" ”

Su Can followed her to her personal office, Kate took the water, sat on the sofa, and said, "I know how the company sees me now, and I also have my own responsibilities, Zach asked me about Facebook, and I said it truthfully, you should understand that whether it is you or him, I have the authority to be responsible." I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, and I don't even want to be in the middle of you if I could. ”

Kate's eyes were red, and the feeling and pressure of being rejected by her comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side in the past two years was finally released at this moment.

Su Can nodded and sighed, "Every place where fallen leaves wither, there are lives sacrificed by power. I know, you can't be blamed for that. You're just taking responsibility for your own authority."

In fact, Kate, like Qiao Shuxin, both belong to the American Facebook secondment, and they themselves belong to the American Facebook, but after two years of personally guiding the development and growth of Facebook, they have developed a deep affection for this place.

Kate took the paper handed by Su Can, wiped her water-soaked eyes, then looked at Su Can, and said, "I will be forty-two years old next year, at this age, I have seen many great people who have been tirelessly talked about by others to this day, but I have a hunch that one day, you will also become such a great person." ”

"Thank you," Su Can smiled, and then added, "You Americans are all like this?"

"I've never slapped anyone's ass, you're the first ever. Kate didn't change her face. Then she slowly moved forward and came to Su Can's ear, with a straight face, and said in a low voice, "Zach is in contact with Zhan Hua, Sequoia Capital and him have signed a secret agreement, I don't know what the agreement is, but if you are speculating recently that he will sell his shares in Facebook Chinese, I believe you have guessed correctly"

Kate walked back to her desk, then put the water on the table, and said, "Zhanhua's Sequoia China Fund has invested in and supported a number of Internet companies and basic service providers in the past year, and these are the bargaining chips behind him to try to obtain huge profits in the next Internet big cháo." But so far, Sequoia's technology companies have not been able to compare with the growth speed of Facebook Chinese, and if they take 10,000 steps back, even if they can follow the trend and create success in the future, they can only follow us and eat dust, and will never be able to surpass the status of Facebook Chinese. ”

"So if you can take a stake in Facebook Chinese at this time, even if Zach only sells them 20% of the shares, Facebook Chinese will have trouble." ”

Su Can narrowed his eyes, "Why are you telling me this?"

"As I said, it's my job to be able to tell Zach both about Zach's current financial situation on Facebook's Chinese and about the dangers that are at stake in Facebook's Chinese future. It's my duty," Kate said, sitting on her swivel leather couch, an American NV man in her forties, "If there's another reason, it's that I founded Facebook Chinese, and I have no right to intervene and interfere with Zack's decision, but I have a duty to help eliminate any threat to Facebook Chinese." ”

Five days later, Zach completed his trip to China and returned to the United States.

At the airport terminal, Su Can and Li Pengyu, as well as Facebook executives, came to see them off.

Before leaving, Zach stepped forward and said to Su Can, "We have found new investors, and they have promised to buy Facebook shares, which means that we can expand and develop rapidly again, you don't forget that after a while, you will come to Palo Alto, and you may have to sign some internal equity changes, restructuring and additional issuance agreements." ”

Everyone at the top of Facebook Chinese behind Su Can was silent, because they couldn't be sure if the so-called "we" in Zack's mouth included all the Facebook Chinese people across the Pacific River. He wanted to betray them.

Su Can patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely arrive then." It must have been a moment in history. ”

It seems that because of Su Can's affectionate patting on the shoulder, Zach finally took a deep look at Su Can, and when he saw him nodding, Zach didn't say anything more, turned around and walked on the plane with the Americans.

It's just that everyone doesn't know that the event in the future, which is not too far away, has really become a moment in history.

A month later, Facebook China received an official confirmation from the U.S. side, which was a letter signed by President Zach himself, the general content of the letter was because due to the current financial crisis in the U.S. Facebook, the U.S. Facebook intends to sell a part of its equity in Facebook China, and if the Chinese side has any objections, the person in charge can rush to the U.S. headquarters in advance for negotiation and communication.

At the same time as the letter was issued. The New York Times published an article.

According to the article, according to the high-level figures of the social agency Jiāo online Facebook, they will sell their shares in Facebook China for an estimated $200 million in the near future, providing sufficient transitional guarantees for the public opinion cold cháo faced by Facebook this time.

China Facebook is a company founded by the co-founders of American Facebook in China, and its founder is also the second largest shareholder of Facebook, and if you look at the current market value of Facebook, both are billionaires than before. It was rumored that the conflict between the two founders escalated after Zack's trip to China, and in terms of their wealth, power and prestige, they seemed to be young and young. With their success comes a certain amount of arrogance. Their success stories are well-known in Silicon Valley, such as when they once wore the crown of prom kings together in the same high school, and Zuckerberg was deliberately late and in his pajamas for a meeting with venture capitalists in Shanghai. It is also said that Zuckerberg turned down the opportunity to meet with the British NV king last year, saying that "I don't have time for these things".

As we all know, when the founders of a company start selling stocks, it should be considered as one of the signals for investors to quit.

If the rumors of Zach selling his shares in Facebook China are true, does it invisibly confirm the fact that the war between the two founders is getting more and more fierce? They have 250 million users worldwide, and they may create one of the greatest companies of the new Internet era, on a par with the brothers Brin and Page's Google and Microsoft.

But did the accumulation of power and wealth make them eventually go their separate ways on the way to the top?

Following the publication of the New York Times, followed by the British Daily Mail, Newsweek, and even Life and Times, these media started with the Internet technology industry media, and related reports were either like tofu cubes, or important information previews on the waistline, or listed the historical events and annotations of the two founders of Facebook in the content of the section, which were all spread around like bamboo shoots after a rain.

At this moment, one of the co-founders described by American publications as having a dull life, a man named Su Can, was in China to apply for a visa, packed his luggage, and two days later, turned off the non-stop mobile phone and the text messages stuffed in the mobile phone at Shanghai Pudong Airport, and boarded the plane to San Francisco, USA.
