In fact, Xia Ruxuan's familiarity with Mark Zuckerberg is only limited to just a few hours since he first met him, but he seems to have an inexplicable understanding of him. He's a man with some paranoia overtones, and in his world, it's the things that make his life more interesting that are all that matter.

"I was about to talk to you about that." Xia Ruxuan said frankly, looking at Zuckerberg sharply, it was obvious that in the current situation, he was far superior to Mark Zuckerberg in terms of negotiation power in this regard, "If I want you to be my collaborator, how much do I have to pay?" ”

Zuckerberg looked at Xia Ruxuan a little confused, "What are you going to call this social networking site, Facebook?" I think this is good, one in the online roster. In fact, in a recent issue of the Harvard Crimson Newspaper, the need for multiple sources of reference for an online 'roster' was revealed. The editor who published the commentary described exactly how the company had an electronic 'roster'. ”

Xia Ruxuan looked at Zuckerberg, "friendbook." I want the name of this site to be friendbook. He looked at Zuckerberg with a serious look on his face. Although he felt some guilt in his heart, he had to choose this way. Facebook's name is so American that it was even renamed "Facebook" when it developed in China. If it is a website that originated from the United States, this is understandable, because the original meaning of Facebook was "roster" but there is no such word in China, because of his intervention, the development of this website has advanced from the United States in February 2004 to the domestic market in October 2003, and the time of its appearance in the United States will also be advanced by three months. He wanted the site to have a more pop-up feel.

FriendBook, friend book, in a sense, sounds more popular than its original name, and it also happens to be in line with the developing friend network in China. As for the merger of the two sides, he has not yet thought of how to do it, but it is clear that the domestic and international parts cannot develop at the same time, so he will choose two paths at the same time.

On the other hand, the domestic friend network is exposed under everyone's noses, although it is only a small company now, but the gradual development and growth will definitely be remembered by those who have a heart. It made him feel a little uneasy, but it was different here.

Zuckerberg looked at Xia Ruxuan for a few seconds and shrugged his shoulders, "What's the name is not the point, the point is to make this website interesting." You must know that it is much more difficult to make a website interesting, and not to commercialize it. ”

"Isn't making a website fun what you're good at?" Xia Ruxuan looked at Zuckerberg and smiled, "I believe in you." ”

Zuckerberg raised an eyebrow, "If I'm in charge of that, I want to have full authority over the site." I'm sorry, but now I've changed your site beyond recognition. Zuckerberg shrugged his shoulders with a heartfelt smile, "I've made some changes to some details and added a poker feature. That's what I said earlier is the interesting thing that comes to mind. For example, I'm interested in you, or whatever, I can poke it on your profile and no one but you can see that, okay, that's great. ”

Xia Ruxuan nodded, and laughed, "It's really a great thing" In fact, Xia Ruxuan remembered that this was one of Facebook's original features, and in many cases, this poker did represent some kind of implication, "Actually, Mr. Zuckerberg." Xia Ruxuan's expression suddenly became serious.

Mark Zuckerberg also turned to look at Xia Ruxuan, instead of swaying back and forth, Xia Ruxuan paused and continued to speak, "Since you also want to cooperate, I think it is necessary for us to have a discussion on this issue now, I don't want to have some other disputes in the future." To put it a little further afield, I want you to be the CEO of this company. ”

When Xia Ruxuan said the word CEO, Zuckerberg was stunned for a moment and said a little puzzled, "But this website was made by you, not by me." ”

"Mark," this time Xia Ruxuan didn't use the polite Mr. Zuckerberg address again, but quieted down and spoke, "I chose you because I believe in your abilities. On the American side, I have no direct control, and instead of holding it in my hands and not wanting to let go, it is better to hand it over to someone who can do it. ”

"Okay." Mark Zuckerberg was silent for a long time, then agreed, "Before that, I was invited to join by a website called friendster. Within a few months, Friendster had gathered millions of users, and everyone said it would be the next Google, even when it turned down Google's $30 million offer. But in the end, the site went down, and millions of users joined the site, causing the original server to get slower and slower. However, this is not the most critical issue, the most critical thing is that they have the biggest problem with PR - they are caught in a war of words with fake users. These are all fatal for a social networking site, and I don't know how you prepare for it all. I thought about it for a long time, wondering why you found me. After remembering the failures of other social networking sites, it dawned on me that you were going to start building this social networking site from Harvard -- because harvard.edu. This is the most prestigious email server in the world, and people who sign up with Harvard's email address will be the elite group that builds the core of this social network! At this moment, the young Zuckerberg seems to be an experienced controller, "A social networking site with a career in Harvard will be a hot spot for everyone, and this will become FriendBook's biggest reliance, and it will also become the root of its undefeat, am I right?" But," Zuckerberg paused, "you're not from Harvard — what if I wasn't willing to join in and leave you on your own?" ”

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Xia Ruxuan's mouth, "I remember you said before that the idea of the twins is rubbish, isn't it?" The fact that we are going to talk about it now proves that you approve of all of this. Of course, you can also try to do it yourself, you are indeed very special, cooperation is a choice for both parties, but I believe that I will not be inferior to you if I do all this, if you don't want to, I will find another Harvard person, and then stay here. But I don't think Harvard needs two social networks, and I can have it on the Harvard network tomorrow, so what about you? ”

Mark Zuckerberg's soft gaze suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Xia Ruxuan. And Xia Ruxuan also calmly accepted his direct gaze, he understood that Zuckerberg was not a person who was willing to live under the fence casually, and if he wanted him to agree to cooperate with him, he had to get his approval, but this was not difficult, he was fully prepared in the website.

After a while, Zuckerberg turned his head to look at the computer screen and let out a long sigh, "Natsu, I think you're right. I was very inspired to see your work today. But you win, I won't do any better at these things. That's an interesting thing indeed. But now, we need some money, and I can come up with a thousand dollars now, and if you also give a thousand dollars, we will end up with six and four of you. Of course, I'll prove to you that I have what it takes," Zuckerberg's words reveal a strong sense of self-confidence, and he is such a person who has a pride in his field.

Otherwise, which collaborator would dare to open his mouth to be forty percent of the shares?!

Xia Ruxuan was already accustomed to his jump, and looked at him, anyway, the most troublesome thing has been solved now, "There is no need to worry about the matter of funds for the time being, I have registered a company with an existing $200,000 dollar, and now I am missing you." ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Zuckerberg raised his eyebrows, his eyes couldn't stop being surprised, he didn't know where the confidence of the man in front of him came from, since he invested $200,000 at once for a social networking site that didn't know what the prospects were, but Xia Ruxuan's courage was instantly recognized by him, "Then adjust the distribution of shares." ”

"It's true that we need to adjust it," Xia Ruxuan smiled indifferently, "It's not because of these two hundred thousand dollars, we have an equal cooperative relationship, and everything here is left to you to take care of." Isn't it unreasonable that I still have an absolute advantage? We split the five-fifty equally, and you have to understand that from today onwards, this website is your own website. Just do whatever you want. Xia Ruxuan knew that it was time to feed his turnips, although he knew how much difference this contribution would be in the future.

But only by winning Zuckerberg's heart at the beginning can he make this his own business. Xia Ruxuan believes that in this way, they can do better together than Zuckerberg did alone in his previous life! And the investment that Zuckerberg will make for this success will be worth it.

Sure enough, when Xia Ruxuan said this, Mark Zuckerberg's eyes changed instantly, and he looked at Xia Ruxuan in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that someone would give up the low-hanging fruit. But when he looked at the calm smile on Xia Ruxuan's face, he suddenly understood that this man's vision had long been more than just these small areas.

Compared with him, his realm is still a lot worse.

"We can start from tomorrow...... No, start today. Zuckerberg's eyes cast a shadow of fanaticism, he grabbed the wine bottle and faced Xia Ruxuan, "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

Xia Ruxuan smiled and touched him, "Let's change the world together." As he spoke, he drank half of the last bottle of wine.

Many years later, Mark Zuckerberg recalled the scene by mentioning that the boy with the oriental face had a strange charm about him, as if he had some kind of omniscient superpower over everything.

It was only at this moment that for the first time, these two young men who shared the entire Internet world sat down together and seriously began to discuss some details about cooperation. In a very cultural phrase, it is the heavy wheels of this business empire that slowly roll forward from this moment, thus beginning its uncontrollable rise.
