Chapter 239: Mother
"Why are you here?" This was the first thing Xia Ruxuan said after opening the door, facing the woman with an indifferent smile on her face.
Before opening the door, he had thought about who would appear here, but he definitely didn't think that this person who appeared would be his mother, Mo Wenhui.
Looking at Mo Wenhui's smile, he thought that his habit of smiling was probably inherited from Mo Wenhui. She always has a smile on her face that Xia Ruxuan can't understand, but that very charming face will always make Xia Ruxuan have an illusion - it is too different from the impression of being old in her memory, Mo Wenhui in her memory is nearly fifty years old, and she is gradually showing fatigue.
To be honest, until now, he has been able to completely get used to and enter the life of this world, and some thoughts and ideas in his mind can be controlled very well, and he will not be thrown out casually to be shocked. But the only thing that always feels awkward in my heart, and there is no way to coincide with the impression in my memory is the appearance of Xia Yunbai and Mo Wenhui. The other relatives are fine, and the peers feel a little naΓ―ve at most, and gradually get used to it.
It was probably because the memory that Xia Yunbai left Xia Ruxuan in that life was too high to reach, and his majesty that no one dared to question became the shackles in Xia Ruxuan's heart.
And now, when Xia Ruxuan was able to talk calmly with Xia Yunbai, and it was not difficult to say some words and thoughts that surprised Xia Yunbai, that feeling gradually faded.
and Mok Wenhui is still like the image of a beautiful woman in her thirties at this time...... It made him feel a little weird, but this impression also made Xia Ruxuan closer to them. Xia Ruxuan didn't know whether this change was good or bad.
"You're my son, so I can't come and see where you live?" Faced with Xia Ruxuan's attitude, Mo Wenhui didn't have much reaction, just said it lightly. She was followed by her assistant, with a pretty face like frost and not squinting. Mo Wenhui glanced at the house a little critically, "This is barely enough." β
"Ah Xuan, who's coming?" Liu Yi, who was still in the room, suddenly asked, and after hearing this, Mo Wenhui raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Ruxuan, and then pursed her mouth, signaling Xia Ruxuan not to stiffen and not speak. Xia Ruxuan glanced at her helplessly, "My mother." Soon there was a sudden sound of things falling to the ground in the room, and then there was a noise, Xia Ruxuan turned his head and spread his hands towards Mo Wenhui.
"It seems that Li Shaoyu's kid didn't lie to me." Mok Wenhui muttered softly.
Hearing this, Xia Ruxuan asked with interest, "What did he do with your mouth?" β
"Oh, it's not his problem, he's playing dumb with me. I told him that if he didn't tell me, then he was going to explain to him in person what he was dating a little star recently. Mo Wenhui smiled, but these words made Xia Ruxuan feel speechless...... Since he left the Xia family in his memory, Mo Wenhui no longer talks to himself in such a tone. "You know, your uncle is such a rigid man. How could he agree to allow this kind of thing to happen, and Li Shaoyu himself knew it, so he confessed to you. But he had a lot of good things to say. β
"Huh." Xia Ruxuan laughed dryly.
"Don't have such an attitude with me," Mo Wenhui heard Xia Ruxuan's laughter, "I suddenly have time to come over to see you today, and by the way, see how you are now." You give me an account first. β
"What the bottom is?"
Mo Wenhui reached out and pinched Xia Ruxuan's face, "Okay, you, you have really been able to endure this year." Usually your dad is there, so I don't say much. Don't pretend to be stupid with your mother, what are you thinking in your heart now, what are you going to do to this girl now, if you play casually, I won't have time to spend time with you if I leave now, if you want to be serious, I will take it so seriously. β
"Uh......" Xia Ruxuan was stunned, but he didn't expect Mo Wenhui to speak so bluntly to him directly, but he was thinking about how he would answer.
Seeing Xia Ruxuan's expression, Mo Wenhui's face became serious, "I also know that you are really different from before now, and you can see some things more thoroughly than your father." So I don't play any fake games with you, isn't it enough to play this set with others outside? β
"I'm serious." In this case, Xia Ruxuan replied with an indifferent expression.
Mo Wenhui nodded, looked around again, and sat down on the sofa. The thin black stockings wrapped Mok's slender legs in an elegant gesture.
She sat down and didn't urge, and after half a minute, Liu Yi's room door opened and said a little crampedly, "Hello, Auntie." Xia Ruxuan smiled helplessly at Liu Yi behind Mo Wenhui's sofa, and at this time she changed her pajamas and changed into slightly more formal clothes.
"Well, come and sit down. I just stopped by to see Xia Ruxuan. β
Mo Wenhui had a sweet smile like a young woman on her face, which made Liu Yi even more uneasy, she was somewhat aware of the unusually large background of Xia Ruxuan's family, and the graceful and beautiful young woman in front of her, who didn't think she had a twenty-year-old son, turned out to be Xia Ruxuan's mother, which made Liu Yi have to compare her with her own charming mother, but it was more than a little stronger.
"Xia Ruxuan, don't you mind giving us a little space." Mo Wenhui suddenly raised her head and said to Xia Ruxuan, "I'll talk to the little girl alone." Although the tone was discussed, it seemed a little undoubted to Mo Wenhui, Xia Ruxuan looked at Liu Yi, who gradually relaxed a little, he shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the door to close the door. Although he could hear what was being said outside, he was not so bored at the moment.
When he returned to the room, Xia Ruxuan opened his email box and saw an email from Zuckerberg.
One of the main things mentioned in the email is the financing of FriendBook.
The spring semester at Harvard University is over, and Zuckerberg and a few other FriendBook staff, to put it bluntly, are gathered with Sean Parker in a rental house on Jennifer Road in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley. At this time, it has entered the summer vacation period, and students have begun to leave school one after another, and the traffic of friendbook has naturally dropped. At this time, the number of registered people for FriendBook had reached 400,000 a few days ago, and the number of servers became the most important issue at this time.
Zuckerberg's budget would cost nearly $60,000 to add 50,000 servers to face a new round of the fall semester, and the $200,000 he initially provided for the startup capital has now been spent. Although it is not to the point of being overstretched, it should also be considered for financing.
Zuckerberg mentioned that after Sean Parker joined the team, he had reached out to his friend, the founder of LinkedLN, Red Hoffman. He is also an investor who is willing to provide a large amount of start-up capital to small start-ups or entrepreneurs. And he already has enough interest in Friendbook at the moment, but he is the founder of LinkedLN himself, so he doesn't want to be Facebook's biggest investor.
But at the same time, he has also arranged for Parker and Zuckerberg to meet with Peter Thiel, a genius in finance. Zuckerberg mentioned in the letter that he had dark black hair like Xia Ruxuan, and also introduced that this man was the co-founder of PayPal. All of this shows that FriendBook is moving forward with so much attention.
But from Xia Ruxuan's point of view, he had to think about some other issues.
Xia Ruxuan knows Peter Thiel, who is an angel investor. The director of a billion-dollar fund, at this time one of the richest people in the United States. At that time, Facebook had a market value of 100 billion yuan from the beginning to the end, and a total of five rounds of financing were carried out. And this Peter Thiel was the first step that took Facebook from a small website to a $5 million market cap. That year, he paid $500,000 for a 10 percent stake in Facebook, which was considered one of the most significant investments in Silicon Valley history. With the help of this 10 percent, with an investment of 500,000 yuan, he is worth tens of billions of dollars in seven years.
At this time, the site is growing several levels faster than it has historically been, and Zuckerberg has said Peter Thiel has offered to pay $800,000 for a 10 percent stake. It's just that Xia Ruxuan obviously doesn't want Peter Thiel to be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman so easily, Xia Ruxuan remembers that the next financing in history came in March 2005, and that time was 13 million US dollars. If you can skip the first round of financing and go straight to the second round in history, it will be enough to leave 10% of the shares.
When Xia Ruxuan sent his opinion to Zuckerberg in organized language, and then a few minutes later he got a reply from Zuckerberg with a smiling face, which made Xia Ruxuan feel at ease.
Zuckerberg is not a short-sighted man. Even if Sean Parker advocates this financing, he can handle this matter well, but ...... Continuing to inject money into FriendBook has become something Xia Ruxuan has to think about during this time, and he knows that he needs to prepare 150,000 to 200,000 US dollars to help the website through the current difficulties.
He stood up and stretched, and before he knew it, nearly an hour had passed.
He opened the door and saw Mo Wenhui standing up.
"Then I'll take my leave today." I couldn't see too much emotion on Mo Wenhui's face, but Liu Yi was still sitting there thinking about something. Seeing Xia Ruxuan who opened the door, Mo Wenhui smiled, "Let's go home and live." β
Seeing Xia Ruxuan looking at her carefully with a curious look, she then lowered her voice and leaned in front of Xia Ruxuan, "Don't look at me like that, I gave you a gift for a woman, you should thank me." β
Mo Wenhui and her calm-faced assistant left quietly like this, Xia Ruxuan walked up to Liu Yi in a daze and pinched her nose, "What did my mother say?" β
"Auntie, she wants me to study in the United States for a few years......"
