Chapter 639: The so-called American interest

"Boss, I really didn't expect our Facebook to develop to this point. {{23][wx}”

Mark is still a little dazed, and he hasn't eased up.

At first, he just thought that Facebook was a good website, but no matter how good it was, he didn't think of it alongside Yahoo and Google. But now, when Facebook has become the fourth largest website in the United States, Yahoo and Google, which were originally giants in their eyes, seem to be similar to their own Facebook.

"The Internet is a place that creates a miracle, wasn't Bill also engaged in the IT Internet industry back then?"

"I know, but I didn't expect that our speed would be so fast."

Mark was excited in his heart, "So now, do we have to develop to the whole world, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, ......?"

"No, we can't get to other countries so fast now."

Zhang Ning shook his head.

"Why, Boss, we should now take the hot iron and immediately push it out to the world, aren't you worried about other people's defense? Now we're going to kill it and don't give the modeler a chance. ”

"I know."

Zhang Ning nodded, "It's just that you may not have thought that it is not an easy task to enter the world market." Although our website is very creative, I also think that our website can quickly catch their attention as quickly as it does in the American market. But, as you may have forgotten, my identity is a problem. ”

"Identity issues."

Mark looked at Zhang Ning and suddenly understood, "I know, boss, you are Chinese." ”

"Yes."

So far, although Facebook has caused a sensation throughout the United States, Zhang Ning, as the founder, is still Chinese.

Zhang Ning owns almost entirely of Facebook's shares.

In other words, Facebook seems to appear in the United States, and it seems to be an American website, but no one in the United States has benefited.

Even if it was Mark, Zhang Ning didn't give him the shares, but just gave him a very good salary.

"Or, boss, you should become an American citizen, people who do business in China often do that."

"No ......"

Zhang Ning shook his head directly.

Even if Zhang Ning knows that China is not good, Zhang Ning will definitely not change his nationality.

I am Chinese, born and dead.

Although Zhang Ning knows that the change of nationality that Mark said is indeed beneficial to his own business.

But Zhang Ning would never do that.

"What then?"

Mark had a wry smile, "Boss, you know that, too. Any large international company, it must have the support of the national government before it can enter the world. There's a bit of an awkward identity on Facebook right now, it looks like it's an American site, but it's actually China, where you're located. As the Chinese government, he has no ability to interfere with websites in the United States, but the U.S. government is not willing to support such websites that are accused by China.

Not only that, but there is also the fact that if our Facebook wants to continue to develop in the United States in the future, it must also have the support of the U.S. government. Although the United States is now very open-minded, at the end of the day, they prefer to support companies that belong to their own country. I think the same is true in your China. ”

"I know that too."

Zhang Ning also has some headaches now.

He has some regrets about coming to the United States to start Facebook.

It's just that if you don't come to the United States and simply develop in China, with the current Internet environment in China, websites like Facebook can't develop at all. Even the Renrenwang in later generations, although it looks good, has been tepid. Moreover, there is QQ space in China, and he is already a website like Semi-Facebook.

It's just that now that I'm in the United States, Facebook has developed, but as Mark said, there is still a lot of danger in the future. Mark doesn't say it, Zhang Ning also knows it. Just like in China, if the domestic government does not support a foreign company, then you are finished, no matter how big you are, it will not take long for you to close your doors. Even if you look legitimate, you can't stand it if you are investigated a few times.

This is also true in the United States. The U.S. government is not as enlightened as it thinks, and it can also investigate you if there is nothing to do.

What's even more troublesome is that the domestic government behind Facebook, which was founded in the United States, can't help much.

It is long overdue to register Facebook in China and open a branch in the United States.

In this way, the domestic government can also support itself diplomatically.

Regardless of their identity, the government of any country will give unconditional support to domestic companies going global.

However, after thinking about it, Zhang Ning still shook his head.

Useless.

Whether it is to open a branch or to have its headquarters in the United States.

If the United States does not get any benefits, the future path can be imagined.

Just like domestic cars, wouldn't foreign governments want to open car branches directly in China?

No, it's not that simple.

If you want to drive, you can drive, but without the consent of the domestic government, you can't sell a car.

This also means that all domestic cars, even foreign brands, are Sino-foreign joint ventures, and China has more shares than foreign shares.

Well, you say there are purely foreign cars.

I'm sorry, but this kind of purely foreign car, once it enters the Chinese market, it is possible that the tariff will be increased by 300 percent, 500 percent.

Of course, this is not the case with domestic governments, but with the whole world.

Unless, the product of your country is unique in the world and cannot be owned by others.

Like Microsoft's operating system, Intel's processor...... Wait a minute.

Facebook is just an ordinary website, there is no technical aspect, and everyone else can be molded in minutes.

"Boss, do you have a solution?"

"This ......"

Zhang Ning did not speak.

He thought of a way.

It's just that he can't make up his mind for the time being.

He wondered if he had to do it.

It's not worth it to do it yourself.

Before making a decision, Zhang Ning would not take this decision lightly.

"I have a preliminary plan, but I haven't thought about it yet, so I have to think about it."

……

"Zhang Ning, I originally wanted you to join us at Berkshire, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, you actually made a Facebook network. Now, there isn't necessarily a clear path for you to join Berkshire. You're simply a genius, no, a genius of geniuses. Even Bill can't compare to you. ”

Bill is a genius in the world, and his Microsoft company has a monopoly on the entire world.

It's just that it took more than ten years for Bill to start Microsoft and for him to monopolize the world.

But it only took Zhang Ning a few months, and he had already achieved the entire American market.

Although Facebook has not yet entered the international market, many media predict that it will be sooner or later.

"Mr. Buffett, you're complimenting, Facebook is just a good idea."

It's still the café where I met Buffett for the first time, and Zhang Ning has been a little bored these days, so he asked Buffett for coffee.

"Hehe, a lot of business tycoons start with a small idea, no matter what, I look good at you."

It's just that Zhang Ning seemed absent-minded about Buffett's praise.

Seeing Zhang Ning's appearance, Buffett asked, "What, classmate Zhang Ning, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Yes, there are some."

"Haha, can you share it with me, a weird old man?"

Zhang Ning was silent for a while and nodded.

"I'm thinking about how Facebook can enter the world in the future, or how to keep the American market."

"I know what you're thinking."

Warren Buffett is an old man who has been in the mall for decades, Zhang Ning just said a word, and Buffett has guessed it.

"Your current situation on Facebook is indeed a bit embarrassing."

"Although you have created a miracle, you do not belong to the United States, and you do not represent the interests of the United States."

"The United States is a very democratic country, but the so-called democracy is only for Americans."

Warren Buffett is a successful businessman and a representative of the interests of the upper echelons of the United States.

He knows that Facebook seems to be a sensation in the United States now, but this is only the appearance. Under the sensation of the world, there are infinite dangers.

However, what Zhang Ning said today also shocked Buffett extremely.

He didn't expect that Zhang Ning had just pushed Facebook to the whole United States, and he had already considered what would happen after that. He really couldn't believe that this was something that a young man in his 20s could consider?
