Sitting in the restaurant, Mark Zuckerberg still couldn't stop chattering, and his whimsical ideas could make Xia Ruxuan, who was reborn after eight years, can't help but light up from time to time. Looking at the pious and excited face that was still childish and full of freckles, as well as the words that were like beads, Xia Ruxuan understood that this person's success was definitely not accidental.

He doesn't have to be the best programmer, but he certainly has the talent to be at the top of the world. Xia Ruxuan was eating the expensive Chinese food that tasted not authentic, and at the same time listened to Zuckerberg spitting about some of the gadgets he had made - it seemed that Zuckerberg didn't care much about the things he made, and that tone was like describing a trivial thing, and he used the word gadget.

"Microsoft had tried to buy a music playback software called synapse that you did when you were in Esther middle school." Xia Ruxuan suddenly spoke, looking at Zuckerberg's somewhat sluggish expression, Xia Ruxuan suddenly understood that this matter was not well known, and quickly added, "I have a friend who works at Microsoft headquarters in the United States, and he knows that I recommended you when I was working on such a website." As I said in my first email, Microsoft is an aging behemoth, and thankfully, you're not a rigid programmer, which is why we met today. ”

"I get a lot of emails because I'm always doing interesting gadgets running on the web, and then there's some companies that want to buy something, but you know," Zuckerberg said, shrugging his shoulders, "and when there's something mixed in with commercialization, it gets complicated...... And I don't like complexity. I'm sorry I skipped most of what you said at the time, I'm just used to it...... But what prompted me to reply to this email from across the ocean? Zuckerberg touched his nose, revealing his little tiger teeth and sticking towards Xia Ruxuan with a smile.

Xia Ruxuan raised his head and looked at his still somewhat fanatical eyes without showing weakness, and smiled without saying a word.

"Because I like your description of Microsoft." Zuckerberg tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if he were tapping on a keyboard, "You know what, you're the first person to talk to me about Microsoft in this dismissive tone." You know how many people think of Bill as their idol. And I think he was just born in a good era. ”

He was just born in a good time...... Xia Ruxuan stared at Zuckerberg, if he didn't know his achievements eight years later, Xia Ruxuan would definitely think that he was a madman when he heard people who said such things. But it turns out that he is a madman, and such a madman is one of the few in the world.

"You can't think of the reason why I rejected Microsoft." Zuckerberg paused, "Their working hours are too rigid. ”

Xia Ruxuan blinked when he heard this, "I also hate rigidity." ”

"The guys who asked me to write the program for them." Zuckerberg froze for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, he jumped to a completely different and unrelated topic, "Cameron Winklevoss, and his twin brother Tyler-Winklevoss, both of whom were varsity rowers and were burly and much stronger than me...... Still," a flash of disdain flashed in Zuckerberg's eyes, "their ideas are complete rubbish." They wanted to make a social network for dating and socializing, launching a service to learn about party information already offered at discounted rates at bars. There will be no future for such a site. Zuckerberg is very frank in one sentence, even one word, sums up other people's thoughts - garbage. Then he added, "Even though they think of the site as the-facebook." ”

These two names Xia Ruxuan has a bit of an impression that they are the twins who are in a lawsuit with Zuckerberg, and at this moment, listening to Zuckerberg's disdain for them, he suddenly feels that the so-called lawsuit is a farce. No one can rely on plagiarizing other people's ideas to get to the position he has stood, like many of the messages in the movie "Social Network" that I saw in my previous life, but it was just fictionalized for the conflict of the movie.

"So what are you going to do?" Xia Ruxuan asked. "You were placed on probation by the school just now."

"It's good that it's just a school probation," Zuckerberg blinked, "if I followed my roommate Billy Olson's idea and compared the pictures of the girls and farm animals side by side...... That's when things get bad. So I'm going to make a special trip to celebrate tomorrow night," Zuckerberg laughed, in our Kirkland dorm, "and you can come along." ”

"Of course." Xia Ruxuan nodded, his primary purpose now is to maintain a good relationship with Zuckerberg, in his eyes, Zuckerberg is completely like the God of Wealth, which means that he can be successful in the years to come.

"Do you want to discuss something else," Zuckerberg looked around for a moment, as if anxiously, before turning his head to a completely different topic. "I was recently trying to get into the Ultimate Club at Harvard. The Phoenix Club was the most diverse, and there was the Fry Club, but Roosevelt joined the Poe Club, also known as the Poslian Club......"

"Look at the website." Looking at Zuckerberg, who began to speak again, Xia Ruxuan raised his head and spoke.

"What?" Zuckerberg was stunned.

"The finished product of the website is in my notebook, you can take a look at it first." Xia Ruxuan suddenly found a trick to deal with Zuckerberg, only the jumping surname who spoke was a little stronger than him, so he could not be affected by his thinking. The thinking of these geeks is really not something that ordinary people can speculate.

Xia Ruxuan took out the notebook from his bag, put it on the table, and then lowered his head to eat the contents of the bowl.

I have to say that Xia Ruxuan's prediction this time was completely correct, when Mark Zuckerberg met the computer, he was as silent and scary as a different person. His pupils never left the screen of his notebook for a minute. After watching it for ten minutes, he began to crack on the keyboard.

When I was typing on the keyboard, it was completely different from when I was staring at it, and I began to become fanatical. Xia Ruxuan didn't interrupt him, and after eating these dumplings that didn't taste very good, he stood up and stretched.

The city of Boston in winter, like the entire New England region, has a continental climate. However, due to its geographical location on the Atlantic Ocean, the climate is also obviously affected by the ocean, which is very cold, windy and snowy, but fortunately it is not cold enough to snow. But Xia Ruxuan had already put on a jacket when he got off the plane. So it's a weird thing to see Zuckerberg dressed up in slippers in such a simple and humble way, even in slippers.

The people outside the shop swayed in the wind, and I have to say that the cultural atmosphere of Cambridge City, which belongs to Boston, is too strong. In contrast, Xia Ruxuan easily understands why the best universities in China are not as good as universities in the world. University is not just about what you study, but what kind of environment you are in.

Xia Ruxuan stared at this corner of the city like this, and more than an hour passed. Zuckerberg behind him seemed to come back to his senses and noticed that Xia Ruxuan was no longer sitting in that position, he walked to Xia Ruxuan's side with the computer in his hand, and just said a simple sentence, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" Xia Ruxuan was stunned.

"Kirkland Apartments." Zuckerberg's words are concise and to the point, and he seems to have lost the characteristics of his previous words. "There's something on my computer that I need to look at." As he spoke, he stepped on his simple slippers and pulled open the door with his notebook in his arms and walked out. In the cold wind, Xia Ruxuan shrank slightly, and Zuckerberg, who was not far in front, only wore a T-shirt and walked forward heroically, like a passionate warrior, in fact, even Xia Ruxuan was enough to feel Zuckerberg's excitement.

Let's change the world together. Xia Ruxuan snickered in his heart, maybe it was for you to bring me to change this world.

...... "People are vying to get on the facemash site I made earlier that evaluates girls' appearances. It's not because they want to see beautiful women, you know, on the Internet you want to see beautiful women everywhere, and even as long as you are willing to pay some price, you can completely watch Chengren movies. In the H33 dormitory of Harvard University's Kirkland apartment, there are now Zuckerberg and Xia Ruxuan, Zuckerberg's roommates are not in the dormitory now, and Zuckerberg is tapping on the keyboard, as if he can be a doppelganger while talking.

"So the reason they're rushing to facemash is because it's a place where they can see girls they know. So everybody wants to go up and see their friends. Xia Ruxuan leaned back in his chair and added.

Zuckerberg sat in his chair and turned around and snapped his fingers, "Bingo!" Exactly. With that, he got up from his chair, walked to the side of the refrigerator, pulled open the refrigerator and pulled out two bottles of beer from inside. opened the cap with the bottle opener, then walked over and handed a bottle to Xia Ruxuan, "Let's have some Baker beer." As he spoke, he walked over to his computer and continued to sit down, looking up and taking a sip of a cold beer, "Do you know what my first feeling was when I saw the code you wrote?" Zuckerberg looked up at the ceiling, "I'm wondering if there's another soul of mine hidden in your body." I wonder what I'd do if I were going to write this...... And then at least seventy percent or more, my answer is -- just like you. Zuckerberg lowered his head and looked at Xia Ruxuan again, "Unbelievable, I finally understand why you can find me, it's a miracle." ”

"It's not a miracle." Xia Ruxuan looked serious, didn't say anything, and said calmly, "He just happened." ”

"I've been interested in communicative sites since last year, and this year I've done a total of 10 projects, each of which I don't have sole responsibility for, but most of them are about 'how people connect through cross-referencing'.

I've always been conceited that my ideas are absolutely unique in this regard, but now I admit that I lost. You're a genius," Zuckerberg's eyes were blazing, and he turned his head to look at Xia Ruxuan, "I'm willing to join." ”

"Huh?" Xia Ruxuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he hadn't heard clearly, and he hadn't started to talk to Zuckerberg about cooperation yet.

"I mean, I'm willing to join the project."
