Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Harvard Genius
Harvard University, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, is a world-renowned private research university and a member of the prestigious Ivy League.
It has produced 8 presidents of the United States, hundreds of Nobel laureates have worked and studied here, and it has a high academic status and extensive influence in many fields such as literature, medicine, law, and business, and is recognized as one of the top higher education institutions in the world today.
Li Xuan's purpose here is to find a college student at Harvard, the founder of Zuckerberg's Facebook network, and now Zuckerberg has only been half a year since he founded Facebook in February 2004.
Originally, Li Xuan didn't need to come to the acquisition of Facebook, but in order to see this, Zuckerberg, who is known as a geek in the Internet social industry, Li Xuan still wanted to come to Harvard University in person.
Walking on the campus of Harvard University, looking at the Harvard students laughing and walking by, this school, which has trained 8 presidents of the United States, should not have imagined that one day it would cultivate an Internet geek.
Harvard people did not expect that Zuckerberg, who was still in college, would become the second largest person in the United States Gates with Facebook.
When Zuckerberg first created Facebook, Li Xuan didn't believe that he couldn't buy Facebook with full preparation.
Starbucks near Harvard University.
A cup of bitter coffee, with a little sugar cube, slowly blended with the bitter coffee under Li Xuan's gentle stirring, looking at the scenery outside the window, there was a quiet beauty, and the sudden tranquility made the whole spirit relax.
Maybe it's because Li Xuan hasn't been idle since he was reborn, he has been planning for the future, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment during the four years of school.
Li Xuan fell in love with this quiet feeling, and really wanted to find a place similar to the countryside, make a pot of tea every morning, and be accompanied by the people he loved, so life should not be too comfortable.
Zuckerberg, who was sitting with Li Xuan, looked curiously, this guy from the same country as his girlfriend, and he didn't know what the other party was looking for him.
Slowly took a sip of the evenly stirred coffee, the coffee was filled with a heavy bitter taste after entering his mouth, but Li Xuan tasted a hint of sweetness in the thick bitterness.
Although coffee does not have a long aftertaste like Huaguo tea, it has a unique taste, which is why Li Xuan likes bitter coffee with a little sugar cube.
Maybe it's because Westerners can't drink coffee and understand the feeling inside, Li Xuan still prefers tea from his own country.
Huaguo's tea can bring a feeling of bitter and then sweet aftertaste, Li Xuan likes that feeling very much, which reminds Li Xuan of his life, from the most painful to the current sweetness.
While drinking coffee, Li Xuan also looked at it, this future super-rich man who is still young, of course, Li Xuan is younger than Zuckerberg opposite, but Li Xuan's heart is much older than Zuckerberg.
In Li Xuan's eyes, Zuckerberg is just like the rumors, often wearing a gray T-shirt, and he doesn't care about his appearance all year round.
It seems that many super-rich people who engage in high-tech have such a small habit and love to wear the same clothes, and Gates, the richest man in the world, is also this hobby.
"Hello Zuckerberg, I'm Li Xuan from Huaguo, I don't have anything to give when we meet for the first time, this is my gift to you." Li Xuan put down the coffee and prepared it early, and handed a document to Zuckerberg on the other side.
Now Li Xuan is no longer in the face of Zuckerberg, and he is in the mood when he acquired the three giants of Huaguo Internet earlier, so there is no need to do problems or emotional maneuvers with the other party.
This time, Li Xuan came to buy Facebook, purely to see this Harvard Internet geek, after all, there were many reports about Zuckerberg in China in his previous life, especially when the other party married a Chinese wife, which made Li Xuan even more curious.
Seeing Li Xuan, who gave gifts at the first meeting, Zuckerberg took the document curiously, opened it and saw that the document was a domain name power of attorney, Zuckerberg knew, this young man from the same country as his girlfriend, what was he looking for him to do, Zuckerberg who closed the document asked.
"Mr. Lee, you're here for Facebook."
Li Xuan knew that when Zuckerberg saw the gift given to him, Zuckerberg would understand the purpose of looking for him.
Because it is a domain name transfer letter about Facebook that Li Xuan asked the Li Foundation to buy from AboutFace, because the current Facebook is still called TheFacebook, and it is not the real Facebook in the future.
"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Zuckerberg will allow me in? I can provide enough funding for Facebook. Li Xuan looked at Zuckerberg and said.
"But now Facebook has just received funds, and there is no need for angel investment funds, and now that Facebook's funds can operate normally, I think Mr. Li is happy this time." After Zuckerberg understood Li Xuan's reason for asking him to meet him, he politely rejected this young man from the same country as his girlfriend.
Because not long ago, Zuckerberg just accepted, PayPal founder Peter Thiel offered Facebook about half a million dollars in angel investment.
It is impossible for Facebook to accept investment from another company or one person in such a short period of time, which is not conducive to the development of the company and Zuckerberg's management and control of Facebook in its initial years.
Li Xuan was not surprised to see Zuckerberg politely reject Li Xuan's idea of injecting capital into Facebook, because he knew that someone had invested in Facebook not long ago.
This is also what Li Xuan only learned after completing his cooperation with Apple, after all, someone has the same vision as himself, and it is no wonder that others have invested in Facebook first.
"Silly, take out that blue folder and show it to Mr. Zuckerberg."
Fortunately, there is another set of plans, in order to invest in Facebook this time, but full preparations, Li Xuan motioned to the second fool on the side to take out the folder prepared in advance.
"Okay." The second fool, who had been guarding Li Xuan's side, took out the blue folder from his arms and handed it directly to Zuckerberg.
looked at the blue document handed over by the second fool who had been standing aside and did not speak, and Zuckerberg, who took the folder, opened it and looked at the contents.
When he saw the things that Li Xuan had prepared for Zuckerberg in the folder, Zuckerberg, who didn't care too much, showed a happy and thoughtful expression on his face, completely immersed in the content of the Chinese document in his hand.
Seeing Zuckerberg looking at the documents carefully, Li Xuan knew that the investment was successful this time, and the difference was just how many shares of Facebook Li Xuan could get.
Li Xuan didn't believe that Zuckerberg would refuse his stake in Facebook when he saw the documents prepared for him, why would Li Xuan be so confident in what he had prepared.
Because the content of the document Zuckerberg saw was all the features and functions of Facebook in the future, Li Xuan didn't want to believe that Zuckerberg could refuse to take a stake in it after reading it.
If that's the case, Li Xuan doesn't mind delaying a few days in Zaimi to build a website similar to Facebook, and realize the functions of Facebook in the future step by step on the newly built website, and kill Facebook that is still in its infancy.
Li Xuan is not afraid that he will kick Li Xuan away after being seen by Zuckerberg, and then run on Facebook alone, because Li Xuan has patent rights for these ideas shown to Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg, who had just experienced a source code lawsuit, and his Facebook network did not dare to go through a patent lawsuit.
After reading the opinions and ideas on Facebook in the document, Zuckerberg closed the document and looked at Li Xuan opposite with surprise on his face, Zuckerberg felt that Li Xuan was like an angel brought to him by God.
After Zuckerberg read the document Li Xuan gave him, he felt that some of the previous settings and some problems on Facebook had been solved.
Zuckerberg knew he had to have this document, Facebook needed it so much, and with this document, Facebook would have developed faster.
"Mr. Li, you are simply a genius, you are the one who really understands Facebook." Zuckerberg, who finished reading the document, looked at Li Xuan excitedly and admired.
Hearing Zuckerberg's praise, Li Xuan blushed for no reason, Li Xuan knew that these ideas were originally thought up by Zuckerberg himself, and Li Xuan just took advantage of rebirth and took it out in front of the original creator.
Li Xuan, who knew the reason, didn't want to show off anything in front of the original: "Then Mr. Zuckerberg, can I take a stake in Facebook now?" ”
"Yes." Zuckerberg clenched the document in his hand, Zuckerberg was not a person with low emotional intelligence, and the young man opposite let him see the meaning of the document.
is reminding Li Xuan in front of him that he is familiar with social networking sites and has no shortage of creativity, if Facebook does not agree to Li Xuan's shareholding, Li Xuan may take this idea and find a social networking site like Facebook to invest and support.
Under the back and forth of bargaining between the two, Li Xuan successfully held 45 percent of Facebook's shares with 30 million plus these ideas.
From now on, Facebook's shares are divided into three parts, with Li Xuan holding 49% of Facebook's shares, Zuckerberg and other founders holding 45% of the shares, and PayPal founder Peter Thiel's 10% shares, forming the initial share division of Facebook.
As the largest shareholder of Facebook, Li Xuan has the right of first refusal to purchase the shares of other shareholders of Facebook, and Li Xuan has the right of first refusal in the next financing of Facebook, Zuckerberg and the other founders of Facebook still have the right to manage the company, and Li Xuan only has the voting rights of Facebook.
Seeing Zuckerberg happily walking out of the Starbucks door with the documents, Li Xuan smiled and took a sip of the coffee in front of him, enjoying the feeling that the coffee brought him bitter first and then sweet.
"Two fools, what happened to the ten percent shares?"
"Young Master, Miss Sophia has been bought from PayPal founder Peter Thiel, and now this ten percent of Facebook's shares are managed under the name of "Li's, Family, Clan Holdings Investment Hedge Fund". The second fool standing beside Li Xuan heard Li Xuan's inquiry.
Now as Li Xuan's bodyguard captain and assistant, the second fool sometimes has to take charge of some other work, such as Li Xuan's messaging work in business.
After getting the answer of the second fool, Li Xuan smiled because Facebook has since embarked on, belonging to Li Xuan's Facebook Li era, and Facebook will also be equated with Li Xuan, the Li family.
Li Xuan, who had finished drinking coffee, stood up, and when he saw Li Xuan standing up, he hurriedly removed the chair behind him for Li Xuan, and at the same time made a suggestive gesture to the surroundings.
