Chapter 149: Ten Reasons

readx;? It's hard to guess what kind of man Mark Zuckerberg is, who occasionally has a nervous personality, curly hair, freckles on his face, who looks not like he's in his twenties but fifteen or sixteen, but who owns a $600 million company. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info\qΞ’5. //

has a number of high-growth enterprises", but in the hidden competitive environment of NTU, Su Can, who has nothing to do like the most ordinary college student, is also a person that many people can't see through.

Although Su Can advocates a leisurely lifestyle without regrets, this does not conflict with his policy of focusing on both career and study. The style of eating and waiting for death in the previous life and the concept of grasping life and living in this life are perfectly blended. It's like a mix of beggars on Dior's latest fashion show, "a kind of untraceable generosity, a certain wisdom of life."

Su Can has always insisted that if he is tired to death in this life, it is better not to be reborn, so he has always paid great attention to simplifying the business methods of Dafu in a unique way, and the highest true meaning of modern management is to simplify your company's organization, and use the most direct way to obtain the greatest potential energy, so that it must be done, rather than the opposite direction.

This is the most central goal served by all the theories of the great books of organizational behavior, psychology and its applications, the "laws of modern business administration" and the laws of corporate architecture.

Take Blizzard, which Su Can has dealt with frequently recently, as an example, it is also a giant of stand-alone RPS games, with a competitive technical core and production team, why is the latter far more famous in the game industry than Blizzard?

It's a good game, Baldur's Gate is a good game, and it's also a good game. But in the end, it still can't compare to the left mouse button to move the attack, the right mouse button to cast magic, and the keyboard 12345 eats the red and blue bottle of "Diablo" such a reputation unprecedented in the history of single-player games. Because Blizzard Studios was able to simplify the tedious operations without losing gameplay to a mouse stream, you can control the essence of the entire game.

"Simple and effective" is always the best way to run a business.

In the eyes of his roommates in the same dormitory, although Su Can sometimes has a lot of things, sometimes he looks at the converted paper emails and thick stacks of business charts, quarterly reports, and forgets to sleep and eat, "A meal, a bowl of Master Kong's beef instant noodles in a paper cup, or relying on the fruits that Tang Yu brought to the dormitory a few days ago, but it seems that it is far less than the huge amount of time in a person's life that his original identity and status will occupy."

So Su Can is so leisurely that people are jealous in comparison. What made my roommate, who always felt that he didn't have enough time for a day, collapsed that he could still find time to review the content to be used for the exam. Although it is often not an exaggerated result in the end", at least it is above the passing line. This makes it unbalanced for college students who have worked hard all night at the end of a university like NTU, and who are still unable to guarantee that they will be able to pass the final exam with a strict class passing rate.

In fact, Su Can has no cheats, "and it's not that he has extraordinary energy", but when he is doing one thing, he can be particularly devoted, which is the talent of rebirth, so that he can clearly mobilize all his energy to do one thing in the planning of the time block, "efficiency is paramount when doing things, and there is nothing to do all day long when he is leisure."

The two phases are not delayed, "life is moving forward in great strides."

"I'm so *** jealous of you. At the end of the semester, when he was immersed in the review and sprint, his roommate Xiao Xu looked outside the door, relying on the well-known fame of Nanda University, like a fourth-generation aircraft, and directly broke through the dormitory management system of the No. 13 boys' building, "Tang Yan, who was carrying a big plastic bag of food and fruits, and had a dark ponytail, said to Su Can. ……………………

When the venture capital group composed of Axel and others was competing for the third round of financing on Facebook, in fact, relatively speaking, international financing institutions were not idle, including Sequoia Capital in Silicon Valley.

Prior to this, Sequoia Capital has been seeking and deducting xxx young business in a variety of ways, in fact, Su Can had confronted them as early as a year ago, Sequoia Capital's current partner in China is holding various titles, President of Enricious Fund, and Zhan Hua, a financial giant in the Yangtze River Delta. Although Sequoia Capital has not officially entered China at the moment, "the amount of investment in China through Zhanhua is not large, but this does not prevent Zhanhua from becoming its future managing partner in Asia."

Even the senior management of Sequoia Capital has a very close relationship with Zhan Hua, and one of the core is to build a fund team that adapts to the Asia-Pacific region, and according to the discussion between Sequoia Capital and the partners, Zhan Hua is the most suitable helmsman for the Sequoia China Fund to be established in the future.

As the world's No. 1 venture capital firm, Sequoia Capital in Silicon Valley has always been known for its militarization, rigor and uncompromising means to achieve its goals. In Axel's venture capital this time, Sequoia Capital's executives also noticed the rising Facebook.

There has been a heated debate among the investment committee partners in the United States about whether to invest in Facebook, and some of the cautious and arrogant Sequoia partners have always been cautious about Facebook, and some have even radically doubted whether it is worth Sequoia Capital's investment. In the end, Zhan Hua still put forward a proposal at the meeting, "It is suggested that he should take the lead, and several partners will listen to it and invite Facebook to do a sales pitch."

The specific arrangement is in the schedule of Mark Zuckerberg's recent trip to China.

Despite the joint investment of venture capital groups such as Axel, Sequoia Capital still wants to step in as the world's No. 1 venture capital. At this time, it was very close to Zack's trip to China, so Zhan Hua in China, together with several Sequoia partners, jointly sent an invitation letter to Zack, hoping that he would do a separate Facebook promotion for Sequoia Capital on the way to China.

That's a lot of weight, and Sequoia's offer seems tempting, even though Facebook is not short of money for the time being since Axel and other venture capital groups injected capital. ………………

In the courtyard of an institution in the middle of the downtown area on Beijing's Ping'an Street, "this courtyard that never has a signboard can be seen just by the fact that the wall of the entrance is printed with a boundary monument of "military control" and guarded by guards in military uniforms.

Ordinary people can guess that this is an important department of the state, but what is hidden in the world behind the wall can always make people think about those doors. The low-key but atmospheric official cars "people coming in and out, including the 300-year-old locust tree at the gate of the compound", all reveal a certain mystery that is difficult for ordinary people to see.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the agency, the paulownia trees were covered with dead leaves on the ground, and Zhan Hua, dressed in a trench coat, and a dignified man were walking in the cold weather.

The man with a brow on his face looked at a few government vehicles that drove into the courtyard after the guards saluted, frowned, and said, "This person is his American partner, so you don't feel that the sword is going off the rails, and if he doesn't show up at that report meeting, will he lose face?" I heard that you thought about entering Facebook in California last year, but you failed in the end, right?"

Zhan Hua was stunned, "The relationship between him and the man surnamed Gao in front of him is not limited to cooperation", the most important thing is that Zhan Hua has today's status, "inseparable from the big guy at the top of the Gao family", Zhan Hua also knew why this big man at the vice-national level was favored by him in the first place, which can be seen from the fact that he mentioned in person many times that he wanted to support each other with the boss of the Gao family. The three men of the Gao family sometimes call each other brothers, but they feel that there are many things that are known by the other party, and Zhan Hua is not particularly comfortable. But the feeling was fleeting.

"There's a saying in our financial circles that all seemingly close partners are separated by a dollar from each other. This is the same implication that there are no eternal enemies and eternal friends between nations. Zhan Hua paused and said, "In my past journey, I have seen too many corporate political struggles with different endings. Individuals and individuals can become friends, but once such a relationship is used on a combination of interests, it can no longer involve personal feelings.

That's why the co-founders of many modern companies end up either being ousted "or being excluded from the management core, just like spending their old age without asking about politics." It may even be like the Disney family coup d'Γ©tat, "even close relatives may betray each other because of huge interests, just the hairy boy who came together on a whim, and there is no conflict of personal ideas?"

"So, you're already confident?" Gao Heng said with a smile.

Mark Zuckerberg had already responded on the 11th, and he promised to attend a report meeting in Shanghai to promote XXX for Sequoia Capital during his trip to China on the 14th. ”

Zhan Hua took out a cigarette, and the Diamond Hibiscus King, which was more low-key than xx cigars, said, "Obviously, this is just a business" It may bring what xxx dreams of: higher valuations and more abundant funds, which we can all provide" Why not Zack? Facebook now has two co-presidents, heh, what a ridiculous co-president title" Only these two hairy boys can think of it, but the final Facebook will only be like all high-speed companies, there will only be one president!"

Gao Heng smiled at Zhan Hua when he heard this, and raised his head to see the fall of the fallen leaves, "I admire those who dare to be the first" I appreciate the initial crankiness of these two people, after all, their crankiness has created a behemoth worth hundreds of millions of dollars to a certain extent, and I once thought that if I wasn't born in this family, I was just an ordinary person born "What can I do." The more I think about it, the more I don't dare to think about it deeply. It's uncomfortable, it's a bit of a tragedy, and it's probably a dream of a person who can do a business of hundreds of millions of dollars, and that's often the most desirable outcome. It also makes people feel that "everything seems to be going in the most ideal direction." This includes the goals you set at the beginning, your mindset, and the commitments you may have made. "But," Gao Heng suddenly stopped moving forward and stopped, "The bleak breath of Beijing City behind him seemed to be accompanied by his action, negligent pause, "The ideal is the ideal, or it can't be avoided and returns to the cruel reality." What needs to happen happens all the time. ”

The creation of a company by two people with the same ideals seems to be the typical beginning of all missing careers, "but when the company will have a huge market value and interest chain, and have enough power to change the fate of countless people, all this can often make the people who have stayed up all night together to fight endlessly, and talked about their dreams together." ………………

Mark Zuckerberg's promise to attend a meeting in Shanghai about Sequoia Capital's investment pitch report immediately caused another uproar. Sequoia Capital has not yet entered China and does not have a managing partner, but Zhanhua's Anrixin investment is inextricably linked with Sequoia, and to a certain extent, it can be used as the spokesperson of Sequoia in China.

And last year, this person named Zhan Hua tried to influence Mark Zuckerberg through Sean Parker and weaken Su Can's influence. persuaded him to choose a capital injector with Zhan Hua's background "to occupy an important seat on Facebook's board of directors."

This year it seems that history is repeating itself.

On this incident, Su Can, including Facebook Chinese and even American Facebook, were collectively silent.

The two co-presidents of Facebook, who even dug deep into the matter, seem to be in agreement, and the silence of Facebook's founders in China has been explained by some well-meaning foreign media as "a fierce internal conflict between the two founders of Facebook".

Against this backdrop, several of Sequoia Capital's corporate partners in Asia have met with private executives in Shanghai, including Sequoia Capital's master presence Moritz and the firm's partner Botha, both of whom are highly powerful at Sequoia Capital, as well as a number of rigorous company-related analysts and executives.

On the 14th, Mark Zuckerberg arrived in Shanghai. The meeting will be held at 9 a.m. the next morning at the Hyatt Regency Jinmao.

Fifteenth.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

In the conference hall rented by the senior management of Sequoia Capital at the Hyatt Regency Jinmao Hotel, Zhan Hua called Zack.

"Where are you, are you almost there?" said in a calm tone, and did not reproach Zach for the time they had agreed to be nine, and they had already missed the time.

Atmospheric and just right.

Ten minutes later, "downstairs at the Hyatt Regency Jinmao, a Bentley slid to the door."

Walking down was Mark Zuckerberg in a T-shirt and nightgown, this person who had been noticed by countless people at this moment, now looked like he had just gotten up from the hotel, and he basically didn't have time to change clothes and wash.

He and Dustin, who was next to him, waved to the people in the Bentley as if saying goodbye, and then turned around and walked into the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Jinmao.

The partners and executives present at Sequoia Capital's office will never forget Mark Zuckerberg who appeared in front of them that day.

The wide nightgown, the T-shirt with yellow circles stained by wine stains due to the madness of the night, the shorts that showed the stubble on the thighs, and the fluffy curls that were unkempt in the winter sun. If he were walking down the street at this moment, "it is estimated that it will make a lot of little loli scream."

When Zhan Hua saw this scene, his heart first "chuckled". There was a small uproar and laughter from the surrounding senior officials of Sequoia Capital.

Then Zach walked up to the podium with his pants and bare legs. This made the eyelids of many elites who were accustomed to seeing high-heeled and beautiful legs in Hengzhi and Road Bars in Shanghai before.

Zack's statement report is ten slides displayed in front of everyone, very California talk show style, seeing this statement report, Zhan Hua and even the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of the senior partners of Sequoia in the audience couldn't hold back and shook in the future.

It's a tough mess.

Top 10 reasons not to invest. ”

"Tenth" we did not create profits. ”

"Ninth, we have a lot of server loads. Millisecond delays can lead to downtime and slowed flow rates. ”

"Eighth, we don't have 10 million members", and the next few reasons are completely vexatious and vexatious.

The third reason is that "I showed up at your meeting, not only was I late" but I was also wearing pajamas and pajamas. The second reason, "Zhan Hua's least favorite person is the co-president of the company" is one of our members. ”

"The first reason is that Su Can is not only the co-president of the company, but also my friend. During the whole process, Sequoia's partners seemed to be listening politely, and some of them didn't even have a trace of strange surprise on their faces. It also includes the Zhanhua of the parties. The world's No. 1 venture capital group "showed terrible literacy and cultivation" in this extremely absurd situation.
