From the very beginning, Ye Leiyang was thinking about how to get Zuckerberg to cooperate with him.

If there is anyone in this world who knows Zuckerberg better than himself, probably only Ye Leiyang, after all, as a public figure, Zuckerberg's legendary experience has long been dug up by the media in his previous life, and even a series of analyses such as his psychology and behavior have all given the world a clear understanding of this Bill Gates.

Therefore, Ye Leiyang is mentally calculated and unintentional, so he can naturally be energetic.

When they met, they took the initiative to provoke Zuckerberg's competitive spirit, and used the school intranet as a breakthrough to break the other party's pride and improve his mystery and credibility in his heart.

The most important thing is that the two requirements put forward by Ye Leiyang fully demonstrated his trust and appreciation for Zuckerberg, and quickly made him realize that the person in front of him seemed to have a fairly high identification with him, and then formed a so-called bosom friend, so the next result must be what he wants to see.

Of course, the premise of all this requires Ye Leiyang's acting skills and the analysis of Zuckerberg in his memory to be correct.

"How much can you invest?"

With Zuckerberg's words, Ye Leiyang was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface, he looked at each other with a smile and a word.

"Well, I'm sorry, dear Ye, although I don't want to admit it, but I have to tell you, at least in a few years, Facebook will be a 'monster' that can only enter but not exit, in the words of you Chinese people, yes, only enter and not exit, if you want to be my partner, then you must be ready to continue to increase investment." Zuckerberg lowered his head and said with some embarrassment.

Human psychology is actually so magical, sometimes the effect of retreating is much more useful than being aggressive, because people are selfish.

In other words. If Ye Leiyang had taken the initiative to invest after he had aggressively gained the upper hand at the beginning, instead of first putting forward two conditions with the main purpose of trusting Zuckerberg, I am afraid that Zuckerberg would not have such emotions at all now, and he would feel that the Oriental in front of him was an aggressor who came to seize the fruits of his labor, rather than an investor who had the same ideal of connecting the world as himself.

The transition of identity is important, to be exact. What you are in the eyes of others depends entirely on what you have done.

Ye Leiyang knows very well that his strength lies in knowing how far Facebook will grow in the future, that is to say, as long as he becomes Zuckerberg's ally, it doesn't matter what else matters, what management rights and what control, Ye Leiyang never thought about it, he is just a screenwriter on the street, not an IT elite. To put it mildly. Even if he hands over Apple to Ye Leiyang now, Ye Leiyang does not dare to guarantee that he can take care of the company in an orderly manner, even if he knows that in the future, with the launch of Apple's smartphones in 2007, this company will soar.

Many things are not something you can do well if you know them, and the ancients said that it is easier to know than to do, which means to warn people that it is easy to understand a truth. But when it comes to practice, you need more than just words. It is also necessary to have the ability to act.

So for those seniors in the novel who were nothing in their previous lives, but were omnipotent after being reborn and crossed, Ye Leiyang could only express his admiration with a capital letter.

"Mark, I think you've misunderstood something." Ye Leiyang smiled and said: "I am optimistic about Facebook, and I value his future, not the present." Later, my agent, Mr. Wang, will provide you with a certificate of my assets in the United States, which will prove to you my financial resources. To be honest, I'm not a rich person, but I think Facebook can make me rich one day. ”

"Leaves. What do you mean......" Zuckerberg looked at Ye Leiyang with some surprise, not knowing why.

Ye Leiyang smiled slightly: "I only account for 30% of the ownership of Facebook, and my requirement is that you must account for more than 50% to ensure absolute control over the website." Even if you raise money again in the future, you must ensure that the combined equity of you and me is greater than 51%. ”

Zuckerberg was stunned, because Ye Leiyang's next sentence made him suddenly feel that the Chinese people in front of him were extremely cute.

"What I mean is very simple, I'm only responsible for making money, I'm not going to be involved in the operation and management, and I don't even plan to be on the board. I only have one request, these shares of mine must be tied to you. ”

As he spoke, Ye Leiyang looked at Zuckerberg with a smile: "I don't know my request, can you meet it?" ”

Zuckerberg was overjoyed, and in all fairness, he had just started Facebook, which was a time of lack of money, after all, opening a website, especially in the United States, requires a lot of money, and Facebook is now only in and out of the way, which also discourages many small investment companies. As for those big investments, Zuckerberg also has his own concerns, he loves the business, he sees Facebook as his child, and he doesn't want to be kicked out one day.

However, Ye Leiyang's request satisfies Zuckerberg's good wishes for investors. Only responsible for contributing money, not participating in operation and management, and even not going to absolute control, such an investor, no matter who it is, will probably not refuse.

"Ye, thank you." Zuckerberg stood up and said to Ye Leiyang seriously.

Ye Leiyang smiled and pointed to Wang Rachel beside him: "For specific cooperation matters, I think we should invite a lawyer to come over and talk to my agent, we are not good at negotiation, aren't we?" ”

After speaking, he and Zuckerberg laughed together, this single business can be regarded as a cooperation intention, and the rest is a matter of legal details, after all, a large amount of money is involved, even if they appreciate each other, it is impossible for everyone to sign a contract and sign an agreement just by a few words.

After chatting for a while, watching Zuckerberg leave, Yu Wanrou asked Ye Leiyang puzzled: "Since you are so optimistic about this website, why don't you propose a wholly-owned acquisition?" Or wouldn't it be better if we bought a majority stake in the site? ”

Ye Leiyang shook his head lightly: "First, Zuckerberg will not agree to our proposal, it is impossible for him to let anyone get control of this website." Second, and most importantly, without Mark Zuckerberg's face, it can't be called a Facebook at all. ”

"What do you mean?" Yu Wanrou still didn't understand what Ye Leiyang meant, just a founder.

Ye Leiyang smiled and said lightly: "Without the body of the soul, is it still called a person?" ”

Yu Wanrou was silent. (To be continued.) )
