The word co-president is so talented. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ\qΒ5、c0m\\

In the past, Su Can was still entangled in how to solve the equity problem of Facebook and had a headache, but after solving the big problem of equity distribution, he began to make a fuss about internal official officials.

If you are so stunned that you wave your hand and say that you don't care about the internal division of power and the like, you just need to do this business well. Then Facebook is tantamount to stepping into the coffin with one foot, and Su Can and Mark Zuckerberg can only become small people in the history of the Internet in the end, occasionally splashing a little splash, and then being drowned in understatement.

Su Can has always believed that starting a company is like a boy and a girl falling in love, there can be no leakage, and it is more important to have a sense of mutual affection between men and women, but just relying on a leakage is not in line with the objective law at all, because all great undertakings in human history can start by relying on leakage, but never because of leakage and last. Love and a company are similar, and they also need to be managed.

The management of love is not simply the management of life, but also the management of the feelings between two people. What needs to be done to open a company is a step-by-step attitude, in Su Can's view, it is not necessarily necessary to be rigorous to be meticulous, it must be as strict as a machine. But at every stage, there must be a clear fall, in which position, you must have an accurate grasp of your own situation and the surrounding situation.

This can be summed up in the fact that the ultimate height of the building is not determined by the cement and steel added after tomorrow. On the contrary, the quality of the most basic foundation is the key to determining whether the high-rise building will stand forever.

For Facebook, the internal structure must be clear and reasonable, so that it can go further and reach the point where it has the ability to kill capitalists to a terrible amount of money in the future on the premise of ensuring the best internal friction.

At the beginning, in order to highlight the cultivation of Zack's leadership talent and ability to control the overall situation, Su Can gave up the position of president and CEO, and at the same time, he consigned to the two nondescript positions of chief intelligence officer and chief financial officer.

The veterans who first entered Facebook also shouldered some less standardized and blurred demarcations, which was naturally an effective way to get high-speed expansion by throwing away a lot of unnecessary baggage in the early days of Facebook.

At that time, any Facebook veteran who was out socializing could take out his business card to get possible advertiser input and sponsorship. Everyone is a tenth of Facebook and can use their own way to help the social network grow, for example, Harvard University's top students can use the network of Ivy League schools to help Facebook connect with other universities.

But in today's growing world, the blurred demarcation of the past seems to be backward, and Su Can cannot always occupy two important positions and prevent those who deserve this title from enjoying the right to mobilize resources.

The co-president contract brought by Dustin's special trip to China can effectively solve such problems, Su Can stepped down as intelligence officer and financial officer, and replaced it with the current new concept of co-president, co-president Su Can is responsible for Facebook localized Chinese product development plan promotion (Facebook Chinese), technical reserves, Facebook entertainment platform integration and construction, and product marketing channel construction.

A contract from the United States. Enclosed hotel spa lounge sunny glass room. Sunshade. A young American and young founder of Facebook calmly signed this document on this day when the grass grew and the warbler flew, leaving behind all the historical ** pieces that could cause the outside world to boil.

At the same time in California, USA.

In an office in a building just across the street from the headquarters on Palo Alto's California school road, several tall men with different figures and faces were in the middle of it, and the air was filled with the smell of storms.

They are all well-known on the list of venture capital figures in Silicon Valley.

And these figures, who have the right to speak in the equity shares of some famous companies, are sitting on leather sofas, or supporting large walnut desks with their hands, or standing in front of floor-to-ceiling windows looking out of town, smoking fresh cigars from General Cigar Company.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that these venture capitalists, who usually run around the world, will gather on top of the building on Xuefu Road near Stanford, just like politicians in Hollywood movies who are doing inhumane things.

If you look closely, you'll notice that these people's eyes occasionally look out of the floor-to-ceiling windows and at the façade of the building opposite, where Facebook is headquartered.

A young and handsome looking man held a cigar in both hands, rubbed his brows, and turned his head, this man who owned two yachts in Hawaii was one of the founders of Meritek, and at this moment he was squinting slightly into the eyes of countless other women, and said, "This is a very tricky deal, Facebook has just released the news, the valuation and restructuring within Facebook has just been completed, and in addition to Mark Zuckerberg, there is another co-president." Do you think I should go straight to the building across the street, and then find the little kid in the hooded jacket and tell him that it's better not to play any tricks under our noses, because anyone who has played tricks with me before has always chosen to surrender at the feet of Merite Capital As for the founder who came out of China, it's better to get out of the way to that place full of IT garbage, he should first learn to open a garbage disposal site that may be more profitable. ”

David Shi, a partner at Graylock, turned his head to look at the man in front of him, who was known for his thunderous tactics and had a stable place in Silicon Valley venture capital, and felt the need to make him sober up, and said, "The little kid in your mouth founded a company with a valuation of $300 million in the financing process in the first half of this year, and this social network currently has a user base of 5 million in the United States, and the growth index is 240%. And the Chinese founder, as far as I know, on the last round of funding of the Washington Post Group, their president Donald once publicly said that Facebook has two strong barriers that others can't replicate, the first is the social network model. The second is their founder. ”

No matter how arrogant and arrogant the venture capital is, at this time, in the face of the rising Facebook empire, no one can deny the career done by these two seemingly unbelievable young people. That's why they're here.

Someone came to the Momoki table, then unfolded a document and said, "You see, the most important reason for Facebook's sudden internal valuation and personnel restructuring is the title of co-president, and they intend to target our financing regulations in this way." ”

"The founder of Facebook in China has a lot of key powers, and it looks reasonable on the outside, but there are also many pitfalls, you see this, in the division of labor, there is a small rule that he can master the channel construction of product marketing, I can be sure that this is Facebook's strategy to divide us, in order to complete this financing, from the legal level, we can't bypass this founder alone, so we have to send people to China to negotiate, which is almost equivalent to dividing our forces, without the support of the American team, we will be constrained everywhere in the negotiations。 This is clearly Facebook's drama of stealing the day. You want us to be exhausted by the thousands of kilometers of the Pacific Ocean."

Another Silicon Valley venture capitalist said disdainfully, "Their new internal valuation is $600 million, to put it mildly, I have participated in too many heavyweight companies' investment programs, more amazing and more promising than Facebook, even counting the toes, a newly founded company, so quickly want to play the internal valuation set, I think the first lesson they should learn is what is modesty." ”

"$600 million means we have to spend $30 million to get five percent of the shares? ”

"Five-hundred-percent, no-no-no," Breyer, the most silent of the crowd, with a bald head and broad shoulders, who could give people invisible coercion just by sitting, slowly stood up, put the thick cigar in his mouth, stretched out his index fingers, and formed a cross, "We want this number." Ten percent of the shares. I'm going to have to take that number on Facebook. ”

Axel, a well-known venture capital company in the United States, raised its largest Axel fund with a scale of $1.2 billion before the bubble economy in 01 years, and the investors were Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Stanford University and other universities. After the bubble economy, this fund also had a bad fate, Harvard University, Princeton University, etc. have parted ways with it, and countless investments have retreated under the tidal effect, which means that Axel has entered the "death channel". Breyer is almost desperate at the moment.

Everyone around him stared at him with a gaze that resembled surprise, and a venture capitalist who was close to Breyer said, "Man, to be honest, this bid is too high. ”

This good friend knows that the current Breyer is in a state of upheaval, and the three major funds on hand are all losing money, approaching a critical point, and at this time the company's partners also left, and Breyer's wife is filing for divorce from him at this time.

This is the low point of Breyer's life, but his appearance at the moment is not a vision except for a slight bleakness, and he has put all his treasure on this financing. For Breyer, it was the most reckless action he was planning to make at a low point in his life, but for his close friend, it may have been interpreted as Breyer's self-defeating.

The middle-aged broad-shouldered and chubby American man turned his head, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and faced the group of venture capitalists in front of him who nominally fought together, but in fact each guarded against the same path, "Facebook's market value has quite a lot of room to rise and fall, and it may be very valuable, or it may become worthless...... In the future, this could be a huge success, or it could be an uncontrollable monster. He's growing at a rocketing pace, growing his user base by millions of people every year, and if it continues at that rate, he's expected to be the most visited site in the U.S. by Internet users in three years."

"I don't know if I'll be able to follow in its footsteps, and I don't know if this rocket will fly into the clouds or if it will fall halfway, no one knows. I don't know if you remember that when Google was competing for financing, we had a bloody head, we almost broke our heads, and we tried our best to get a ride on this Internet myth, but we were exhausted but we couldn't match it. ”

"We have missed an era of the Internet, and all of you here, I would like to take the liberty of asking you, in your life where you are always looking for opportunities and looking forward to opportunities to find you, even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, have you ever thought about whether the company we are gathered here today and standing here to discuss will have the potential to surpass Google Enterprises and become a new generation of Internet hegemon in the future?"

"What we despise or argue about today will be the next king of the emerging Internet empire?"

The remnants of the sun in the small town of Palo Alto, in the rooms that cast uncertain light and shadow, the backs of these handsome, tall, strong, or fat Silicon Valley venture capitalists, each of whom can influence the fate of many companies, are plated with red particles, like a statue of a fixed figure.

And Bleyer, the founder of Axel at this moment, would never have imagined that what he said today in this beautiful and calm California town would become a prophecy many years later.
