Chapter 137: Facebook

Huber is not Naya, as a person who has lived most of his life, although he knows that Zhou You's words are sincere, but he is not willing to leave Hong Kong and go to Singapore. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, although he was a little moved, he did not accept the kindness of traveling. Of course, Zhou You will not be reluctant, because this kind of thing always has to be willing for you and me, which is a good thing, otherwise it will be reluctantly passed, and there will be a knot in my heart.

"I'm going to the United States for a while this time, you can help me prepare four months of medicinal herbs for the medicinal bath, and send them to the airport tomorrow, this is no problem."

"Look at what you said, this is big business, how can I push it out...... What time is tomorrow? ”

Zhou You thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Macau in a while, and I'll come back tomorrow morning, and I'll contact you then." ”

Traveling directly by helicopter from the Macau Ferry Terminal, the tour arrived in Macau before dark. Nearly a year after it opened, more than $200 million invested in the Sands Casino has been earned. This has also made both Temasek and Adelson more confident in their future investments, and they are determined to replicate the model of the American Sands.

Zhou You dissuaded them twice, but he couldn't change their attention, so he let them go, anyway, his stake here was only nine percent.

The person in charge of security for the casino here is Cai Ajiu's eldest nephew Cai Daguang, although he is Cai Ajiu's nephew, he is also in his early fifties this year, nearly thirty years older than Zhou You. He hadn't worked as a security supervisor before, but he didn't need to use his brain here, he just had to obey the orders of the casino's administrator.

Because of the current ruthless reputation of traveling around the world, and the cooperation with the gambling king in the Hilton casino, no one dares to make trouble without knowing each other. Even if there are some minor characters who get drunk and make trouble, they are all solved perfectly.

After walking around the world and feeling like I had nothing to do, I ended up playing Texas Hold'em in the lobby for a while. However, with Le Yao, a little mischievous man, he also responded to the pride of the love scene, the sentence of frustration in the casino, every time he gets a big card, as long as he dares to play, there is always someone bigger than him, and in less than an hour, only a small half of the 200,000 US dollars in chips are left.

He was no longer interested, so he threw all the chips to Le Yao, asked her to redeem them, and prepared to go back to the room to rest.

The career was smooth sailing, he was a lot more leisurely, from Hong Kong to the capital, but here seems to be a fierce battlefield, everyone is busy, as for Liu Qidong, it is said that he is still in the southwest of which mountain.

However, Zhou You has always adhered to the principle of only leading the general development direction and does not participate in the management of affairs, so no matter how busy he is here, he can't intervene. His appearance is nothing more than to help Tmall gather a little popularity, and then look at the numbers on the account in Tmall Bank for a while.

The sales of the month before the Spring Festival made Tmall's sales directly exceed 20 billion US dollars, which made everyone excited, and the delivery staff of the logistics department was busy until the Chinese New Year's Eve. However, since the official start of work on the eighth day of the new year, sales have immediately fallen by more than half, and in February, sales were only more than 8 billion US dollars, but even so, Liu Qiaodong was extremely excited.

Think about the future Taobao's online shopping transactions can exceed 3 trillion yuan a year, that is, more than 400 billion US dollars, and the transaction volume of Tmall and JD.com B2C is tens of billions of US dollars, which shows that this market is not enough.

Because now Tmall is mainly grabbing Suning and Gome, as well as the performance of large shopping malls around the country, Tmall's sales are mainly based on branded goods. However, due to the good advertising and the change of people's buying habits directly from the B2C channel, it still has a great impact on the C2C development of Taobao.

The main problem here is that the quality and integrity cannot be guaranteed, and the main thing is that Alipay implements a one-week payment period. Within a week, if there is any quality problem, you can apply for a refund and return, which causes Taobao to make endless trouble for these things every day.

This kind of blow is not only an impact on buyers, but also on sellers, if there is no problem with quality, merchants are of course willing to choose Tmall to sell. Because all aspects of Tmall have been very formal from the beginning, sellers are also willing to believe in the integrity of Tmall.

When they came to Taobao, they were all small merchants, and they more or less had some special reasons to choose Taobao as a platform, and now they are stuck in the payment channel, which also makes them lose the cultivated market.

Ali wants to build his own payment system, but now that the bank has signed a vacation agreement with Alipay, it will take three years to change this situation. But three years later, the market is almost completely occupied by Alipay.

Zhou You reviewed some of the accounts of Tmall Investment, which were not much different from what his secretarial team had reported, so he relieved himself and set off for Los Angeles.

In order to welcome the arrival of Zhou You, Paris deliberately re-examined the personnel of her villa, dismissed all the servants who had a tendency to leak secrets, and replaced them with a new batch.

Now Zhou You, not only in Asia, but also in the United States, is the most popular dazzling person. Some of the servants in the villa used to use Paris's intimate photos to earn some pocket money, but he couldn't travel around, and he didn't need to use some lace news to attract attention.

Since becoming Time magazine's youngest Person of the Year in 67 years, Zhou You has set off a craze in the United States and become the idol of thousands of young people.

The traveling plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and all the items belonging to the traveling plane were unloaded by several bodyguards. Because he will stay in the United States for a period of time this time, this plane will be temporarily used by Liu Qidong, who is busy in China, to save him the hard work of taking the plane every day.

Several large bags of Chinese herbal medicine encountered a little twist and turn when entering the customs, but the face of Zhou You can be used as a credit card, and the United States has actually opened up the Chinese herbal medicine market to a limited extent, so it has successfully entered the customs.

But as soon as Zhou You arrived in Los Angeles, bad news came that the 12th studio of the Caribbean Pirates suffered a fire and burned many sets, and it would take at least half a month to continue filming.

Zhou You doesn't feel sorry that he can continue his airplane piloting learning for half a month.

However, before that, he had one more very important thing to do, and that was to meet with several students from the East Coast of the United States.

At the beginning of February, when Facebook was launched, Zhou You and several wives were in Spain. Zhou You remembers very well that Facebook did not get angel investment in the first place, so it was not until this visit to the United States that he "incidentally" met with them.

Several of them are still poor students, and the few pocket money and funds they have invested in Facebook are not even able to afford a plane ticket to the West Coast.

So Zhou You wanted to meet them, and he had his secretarial team write a check for them and pay for all the expenses for them to come to Los Angeles.

Except for Zuckerberg, Zhou You was not very impressed with the other co-founders, because they were not ready to become tech billionaires, they became rich, and in the end they were all a little lost.

Eduardo Saverin, at the time of Facebook's creation, was the one who invested the most money, about $5,000, and later he was also the second largest shareholder after Zuckerberg, but later in the development of Facebook, it was gradually eliminated. In the end, he took a large amount of money and left the management of the company, and moved to Singapore to escape the high taxes in the United States.

A third member of Facebook, Dustin Moskowitz, didn't come this time, staying at home to maintain the site, but Zhou You remembers that he also left Facebook and started his own company.

What scared Zhou You the most was Chris Hughes, yes, fear. This kind of emotion is difficult to appear in Zhou You's body, because there are few, if not any, things that make him afraid. He is not afraid of death, and he is not afraid of others threatening him with his wife and children, but when you know that he is a homosexual, but you look at yourself with an expression full of admiration, Zhou Youxin convulsed for a long time, and wanted to kick him away directly.

This Chris Hughes was originally the most low-key of the four, but he did a high-profile thing, that is, he became the network director when Obama ran for president, and later married his boyfriend in a high-profile manner.

Zhou You also knew in his heart that he looked at him with adoring eyes and was not necessarily in love with him, but he was very reluctant to become the object of his sexual fantasies.

The call of Zhou You is like a pie in the sky for several of them, because Zhou You is not only a super-rich man, but also a discerning investor. So far, there is only one investment that can be said to be a loss of money, that is, investing in theaters in the mainland, but other than that, Zhouyou's investment has made a lot of money.

In particular, it is a few Internet and high-tech companies that have invested in Zhouyou, and none of them have missed.

Apple's stock has been rising since Zhou You's purchase, and by February 2004, Zhou You's original investment had more than quadrupled in value.

In addition, whiteness, Tencent, Google, is a typical low investment and high return. So, when the four college students knew that Zhou You had taken a fancy to the project they were working on and was willing to invest, they didn't hesitate to move from Boston to Los Angeles.

Even if they don't negotiate the terms of cooperation in the end, it will be worth the trip to meet this legendary figure in person.

Facing them at this time, Zhou You couldn't help but feel a little senior, because all along, almost all the people Zhou You came into contact with were older than him, only a few of them were younger than him, even the eldest Eduardo Saverin was two years younger than himself, and Zuckerberg was four years younger than himself.

This feeling is very good, he has always been a junior, and suddenly became a senior, so he even has a feeling of turning over and being a master.
