In fact, Xia Ruxuan was already preparing for some things before this, for example, he had reviewed all the things he had to learn in his major in the past few years from now to graduation. Then he quickly handed over an application to the school that he wanted to graduate early.

This is tantamount to a fantasy, because no student has ever been able to learn all the knowledge to be studied in four years of college in one year, and the school agreed to Xia Ruxuan's application, and a series of exams and quizzes for his major followed. However, in the intensive exams that followed, what surprised the school was that Xia Ruxuan passed them all, and then grabbed all the credits he should have accumulated in his hands, which made many people stunned.

That is to say, a few months after Xia Ruxuan entered the second year of Sunan University, Xia Ruxuan successfully completed all the subjects he needed to complete. Probably the school also captured some intriguing details about Xia Ruxuan from some places, so no one gave him any difficulties, and the result means that he can graduate with the current batch of seniors.

While other sophomores are officially starting to adjust to college life, Xia Ruxuan has already begun to wait for his graduation ceremony.

In fact, this is nothing special for Xia Ruxuan, this is something he has been preparing for a long time, and now it is just a matter of putting it into practice, so until the end of November, in this cold winter season, Xia Ruxuan can finally completely withdraw from this short campus life.

Previously, he decided to go to university as a general trend, and the other was to make his start in college, and now that he has successfully completed his start, there is no reason to stay in school and waste his time.

And the main point is that because the attention of all parties in the school has made him feel a little headache, he didn't plan to be so public, he can't help but advance the plan, not to mention that he has already felt that there is a certain force that is about to move on the side of the United States that is gradually surging out.

Mark Zuckerberg's email illustrates this point - at the end of July, Xia Ruxuan made an additional $100,000 investment in the company, which was all he had left, and Zuckerberg and Parker each worked hard to increase the additional investment to $200,000, so that the company could survive the difficulties of the fall semester.

However, the development of events is far from what Xia Ruxuan could have imagined, that is, Friend Bok is really hot - a week after the start of the fall semester of 2004, Friend Bok officially surpassed 1 million registered users. And this is just a company that has only been around for ten months, and Zuckerberg and Parker have put together a celebratory party for this.

Xia Ruxuan also received the invitation to the party at that time, but it was a little weird, and at the top of it was a quote, from Malcolm Gladway's "Tipping Point": "Look at the world around you, you only need to gently push in the right place, and it can be tilted, tilted ......" Zuckerberg later said that this reflected Sean Parker's view of the company, and in his opinion, the company's success is a given, although Zuckerberg was very surprised that the company had surpassed one million members so quickly. After that, Xia Ruxuan's reply was only a very simple sentence - remember that this is just the beginning.

One million registered users is a huge success for a company with fewer than 10 people, and in Silicon Valley, success is a gold sucker. So since September, Zuckerberg has mentioned that more and more investors have been calling to ask questions about financing, but before that, Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg have also maintained a position of refusal.

Of course, one million registered users has doubled to more than two million two months later. At this time, Friend Bok has been opened to 370 colleges and universities, and this data will not take long as the company gets enough financing, then it can continue to soar immediately, which is already a sure thing.

So at the same time, things suddenly took a big turn, because just a few days ago the Los Angeles Times published a story on the front page about Friend Bok, which made investors even more motivated, and this was the first major coverage of Friend Bok in the mainstream media, with the headline "A site that attracts college students across the United States", "Savvy, silly, vulgar, whatever you may say, the site has a firm grip on its users, most of whom log on to the site almost every day." ”

So this time, a big guy suddenly appeared in a group of companies that smelled the fishy smell, and this is a Sequoia capital that Zuckerberg had to solemnly mention to Xia Ruxuan.

As a leading venture capital firm with a good track record, Sequoia Capital has invested in a large number of commercial giants such as Apple, Cisco, Google, Yahoo, etc. This is a time when the company is in urgent need of funds, and Sequoia Capital is definitely a trustworthy big guy.

In addition to Sequoia Capital, there are a number of other venture capital firms that take investing in Friend Bok very seriously. Therefore, in any case, everything requires the presence of Xia Ruxuan, the director who owns the decision-making power of the company.

Xia Ruxuan didn't rush to the United States as soon as possible, because he had some other calculations about this matter in his mind. It lasted until the end of November, and Xia Ruxuan began to receive an endless stream of company documents.

During this time, a total of 12 venture capital firms, four large technology companies, and the Washington Times have all been actively engaged in contact with Friend in the hope of reaching some kind of agreement.

So far, the most lucrative price offered was The Washington Times, and the most famous of the company itself is undoubtedly Sequoia Capital, which was the first to be excluded from Friend's internal video conference, because in Silicon Valley, the company is known for being very rigorous and unscrupulous in order to achieve its goals. Michael Moritz, a big name and guru at Sequoia Capital, was previously a member of the board of directors of the company, where Sean Parker was previously a member.

So Sean Parker knows more about it, and he thinks that he was kicked out of the game in part because of Michael Moritz, when he heard these inside stories, Xia Ruxuan said righteously, "Considering what they did to Mr. Parker, I will never accept Sequoia Capital's capital injection." ”

His words caused Sean Parker's face to be moved at that time, at least in Parker's opinion, he and Sequoia Capital are obviously not comparable at the same level, he is just a small person with a little vision, and Sequoia Capital is a behemoth, but Xia Ruxuan will sternly refuse the company's capital injection because of him.

At this moment, Sean Parker, who originally complained about the company's largest director who had not attended the company's construction, was a little grateful to Xia Ruxuan, knowing that if Sequoia Capital was allowed to come in at this moment, it would be difficult for him to have a foothold. After all, his roots in the company are extremely limited. In addition to being the first to exclude Sequoia Capital, Xia Ruxuan also opened his mouth to exclude several extremely well-known companies, because this required them to convince each other.

For Xia Ruxuan's choice, Parker and Zuckerberg both agreed. Because the tacit understanding of the three at the same time is to have absolute confidence in the future development of the company.

But Xia Ruxuan knows that he is because he has the vision of his past life, and Zuckerberg and Parker are the real visionary managers.

On the basis of this, it is worth considering that only the last two groups remain.

The first group to enter the investor race was Viacom Vi, which has expressed interest in buying the entire company for about $70 million, and intends to merge Friend Bok with Global Music Television TV. This was an unexpected message, and the episode also showed that the "Wild Bee Wave Butterfly" attracted by Friend Bok was too hungry, and the price offered by Viacom made most investors sigh and leave.

Zuckerberg said that at least one company Gu suggested to him that Xia Ruxuan could accept the price, which means that Xia Ruxuan earned 35 million US dollars a year, to be honest, Xia Ruxuan was really a little moved when he heard the news in the first second, he has the decision-making power of the company, that is to say, if he nods and agrees, and then convinces Zuckerberg, he can get nearly 300 million yuan. Earning nearly 300 million yuan from scratch in a year is definitely a number that can make people crazy.

However, thinking of the dazzling and brilliant future of the former Fe Bok, Xia Ruxuan gradually calmed down again, and after several people looked at each other in the video for a few seconds, they all smiled.

This made Xia Ruxuan suddenly realize that several people were able to get together not for money, but for the cause of joint efforts.

"Parker, I said that Xia will definitely not be moved by this." Zuckerberg smiled and talked to Sean Parker, and then his face turned grim, "So, Xia, let's go ahead and consider the price given by the Washington Post, Mr. Graham of the Washington Post decided to inject six million dollars in exchange for ten percent of the company's shares, which means that the market value of our company will reach 60 million dollars, which in the words of the venture capital industry is '54 million dollars beforehand', what do you think?" ”

"I think it's definitely worth considering." This time Parker was particularly serious.

Xia Ruxuan twisted his eyebrows, to be honest, this is indeed a price worth considering, the second financing of more than 10 million yuan in history Fe Bok was in April of 05, which is five months away from now, if you get this fund now, Friend Bok's market value will exceed 100 million US dollars in five months. However, at this time, he had another plan, not to mention that he didn't want to simply put out the company's first financing, because no matter what, it would mean that his controlling stake in the company would be reduced to less than 50%.

"Mark, you send me a copy of the terms and conditions that the Washington Post sent you. Give me two days. After thinking for a while, Xia Ruxuan raised his head and spoke, and at this moment Zuckerberg suddenly noticed the brightness in the eyes of this oriental man.

At this moment, Xia Ruxuan had a crazy enough idea in his heart.
