Chapter 12 Shareholding

After arriving in New York, Kagawa Yu rushed to Boston non-stop.

Officially and the founder of Facebook, Mark . Zuckerberg discusses the acquisition of the website.

Born in 1984, Mark and Kagawa were in the same year.

But this one is a genius.

Mark was introduced to programming when he was in middle school, and his father had great expectations for his son, and hired a programmer named nearby to teach Mark at a high salary, but because Mark was relatively unresponsive, the programming teacher became confident in Mark's urban area.

However, Mark didn't give up on himself, and by the time he was in high school, he was able to program music on his own.

His outstanding ability attracted the attention of Microsoft and AOL at this time, and both sides extended olive branches to Mark.

But Mark neatly refused, choosing to enter Harvard for further study.

After entering Harvard, Mark's talents were unleashed...

That is, Harvard, he began his own entrepreneurial path,

Zuckerberg, from his Harvard dorm room, launched Facebook on February 24, 2004. But it was in 2002 that he started from Phillips

When Exeter College graduated, there was a school called "the

photoaddressbook". Students call it "thefacebook". This photo-centric site has greatly expanded the communication of many private school students, and students can list each other's basic data, such as class, school year, dating preferences, phone numbers, etc.

It was only during the Harvard period that Zuckerberg was determined to initiate; Facebook, and has the support of roommate Dustinmoskovitz. The first wave of collaborations was with Stanford University, Dartmouth College, Columbia University, New York University, Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, and Yale University.

Later, Zuckerberg and Moskovitz moved to Palo Alto, California, with some friends, where they converted a small house into an office, and later met Napster co-founder Sean Parker and invited him to live with him. One summer later, Zuckerberg invited Peterthiel through Sean Parker to invest in his company. [, which was around mid-2004.] According to Zuckerberg's recollection, although the team planned to return to Harvard, they ended up staying in California. They also rejected some people's attempts to buy Facebook.

After meeting Mark in Boston, Kagawa knew that his trip to the United States might not be very fruitful.

Because Mark and he are the same kind of people, they are both extremely confident and ambitious people in themselves.

Sure enough, when Kagawa Yu said that he wanted to buy Facebook, Mark decisively refused.

In the end, Kagawa had no choice but to settle for a 15% stake in Facebook and a five-year stake in Facebook.

Although the acquisition was not successful, it is good to be able to have such a gain.

After successfully taking a stake in Facebook, the first thing Kagawa did was to invite O'Neill to open a Facebook account.

O'Neal was very righteous, and without saying a word, he opened his Facebook account and posted some photos of his game on it

Slice.

In just three days, O'Neal's fans exceeded one million, and Facebook also attracted the attention of the industry, especially its competitors.

In an ordinary office in Boston, no one would have thought that this was the headquarters of the now popular Facebook network.

"Yu, I didn't expect you to know O'Neill" A slightly chubby, curly hairstyle, and glasses young man smiled. This young man is the founder of Facebook and the largest shareholder, Mark Murphy. Zuckerberg.

"It's all fate"

"What's next for you?"

"Let's go back to China first, go over there and promote Facebook, and then develop your own career." Kagawa Yu sighed.

As an agent, I didn't do these things properly, which I couldn't have imagined before...

"I wish you a nice trip."

"It's up to you here, I don't want me to be over there to promote Facebook, and you're bankrupt."

Mark smiled slightly, but did not speak...

This is a kind of self-confidence, the self-confidence of those who succeed!

Let time tell.

………………

Akihabara, AKB48's interior atmosphere is much better now.

These members are no longer as fragmented and working on their own as they did at the beginning.

A very important reason is because they have put their mentality right, and they joined AKB48 to fight for their dreams, not to enter AKB48 Ade for a so-called central position; Another important reason is because they are about to face a new opponent, that is, the second generation of AKB48.

Now, after two rounds of recruitment, 5 girls from all over the country have entered the final selection, and there are still five days to go, and AKB48's second-term members will be selected from this group of girls.

"Do you have any information to share?" said Yukari Sato, lying slightly tired on the floor of the locker room.

"I heard from Togasaki-sensei, and there are a few girls in this group who are very good." Mariko Shinoda said while wiping her sweat.

"Oh, tell me about it." Mai Oshima suddenly became interested, and even Atsuko Maeda, who had been lying down, sat up.

"I heard that two of them are child stars, and several of them have participated in the selection of Good Morning Girls, and their dance foundation is very good."

"I've heard of it too, and one of them seems to be called Yuko Oshima." As soon as Mariko Shinoda's words fell, she heard Takahashi Nanka's unbearable interjection.

"Also surnamed Oshima, Maimai, your opponent is here." Kazumi Urano gloated and glanced at Mai Oshima.

"Come on, AKB can have a big island, that is my Mai Oshima." Mai Oshima glanced at everyone confidently, causing many girls to roll their eyes.

"Then don't overturn in the gutter," Orii reminded kindly.

Mai Oshima knew that Ayumi Orii had good intentions and responded softly.

I don't know whose phone is ringing.

"This mobile phone ringtone is too earthy," Yona Kojima whispered.
