153.Chapter 153: I Don't Lack These Five Million
Zhang Heng did not know that his every move was being monitored, and he was wandering shoulder-to-shoulder with Zach on the famous Harvard campus.
"You're from the computer department? How did you end up in business school? ”
"There's no way, I did research all night last night, I'm so sleepy, our tutor is very strict, I will be deducted credits if I arrive late and leave early, and I have already failed my credits......"
Zhang Heng and Zach sat face to face in the student cafeteria, the two were of the same age, and they were not very conspicuous in the crowd, although Zhang Heng had just given a class, but in the face of thousands of Harvard students, there were really few people who knew Zhang Heng.
After only half an hour of communication, Zhang Heng and Zach became confidants who shared a lot of thought and language.
"I have actually thought about the future development of the mobile Internet as you just mentioned, but it is not as comprehensive as you think!"
Zach pulled the beef curry, and his eyes were blazing to make Zhang Heng wonder.
How long has it been since you eaten?
Zach gobbled it up and said, "Actually, I was really shocked when you mentioned those words about social networks on the podium just now!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Heng took a sip of apple juice and asked, "Are you worried that others will steal the fruits of your labor?" ”
"Not really."
Zach smiled and wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth: "But it went to my heart!" ”
"I stayed up all night last night for this, and I've been researching with friends recently, and I'm already a little eyebrow in this area, and I think the current blog era will end sooner or later, as you said, immediate, more convenient mobile communication will be more promising! Nowadays, mobile phones have the function of taking pictures, and establishing a photo sharing site will become an online social place, which will shorten the distance between people! ”
Zhang Heng pondered and asked, "Where has the research come to?" ”
Zach said without raising his head: "The idea has been born for a long time, but the research has just begun, and now in addition to the implantation of platform information, other aspects are still in the stage of stopping!" ”
Speaking of this, Zach paused, glanced at Zhang Heng cautiously, and suddenly sighed: "Money, money!" I can't do anything without money, and I'm going to run an investment at the beginning of next year to try to get research funds! Nowadays, web development and the purchase of domain names are all supported by the money I usually do odd jobs, but with the deepening of technology, there is no money, there is no prospect, and it will definitely be over! ”
Zhang Heng said that there is no doubt that social networks such as Facebook will bring great changes and benefits in business economy, information exchange, and social culture in the future.
But now it's only the end of 2001, and the Facebook of the previous life was established in 2004, and it took three or four years just to promote and develop it before it began to make a large-scale profit.
"Definitely!" Zack's eyes lit up: "Zhang, are you interested in my research project?" ”
Zhang Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, as for the financial aspects you are worried about...... I'm not a philanthropist, but as long as I don't meet my bottom expectations, I'll consider investing in you. ”
Zach jumped up violently, he just tried to ask, but he didn't expect to get the desired result, and immediately his face was full of incredulity, he beat his chest hard, and shouted in surprise: "Really? Sheet! I knew it! Ha ha! I knew we were the same kind of people! ”
"You really understand me, only you approve of my research!"
Zach ignored the surprised eyes around him, and said excitedly: "I'll just say, my mother doesn't approve of me, just because she doesn't understand!" Zhang, you are indeed the man who can stand in the auditorium of the business school and give a speech! ”
Zhang Heng's head was surging with black lines, coughed, waved his hand, asked Zach to sit down, and said seriously: "You name a number, as long as it's not too much, I can consider investing in you!" ”
"Five hundred thousand!" Zach stretched out a palm and said, "I only need 500,000 US dollars, I can complete the initial construction of the site by the end of the year, and in the first half of next year, our website will probably be launched!" ”
"My plan is to promote it in schools first, you know, Harvard is one of the top universities in the world, as long as it attracts Harvard students, it has attraction, it can attract more people to sign up, and no one wants to meet high-IQ people! After that, I will add colleges and universities from all over the United States, including Ivy League colleges, to our 'attraction'! ”
Zack's expression did not show the sequelae of the all-night, and his face was full of light: "Don't worry, Zhang, you will definitely not regret your decision today!" ”
Zhang Heng looked at Zach speechlessly, he was so shocked that the whole restaurant was faintly dissatisfied.
"Alright, I got it!"
Zhang Heng was helpless, signaled Zach to calm down, then thought about it, looked at Zack's expectant eyes, and smiled: "Is it 500,000?" ”
Zach nodded repeatedly, his eyes almost pleading.
Isn't 500,000 a bit much, or 400,000? Three hundred thousand? ……
Zhang Heng thought for a moment and said, "I can invest five million in you!" ”
Zach was stunned for a moment, his mind was down, and then he reacted and stammered, "Five hundred...... Ten thousand? Dollars? ”
Immediately reacted, Zack's face began to be stern, no matter how he said it, he was also a Harvard student, a top student from a world-renowned university, and he knew that there is an old saying in China, that there is no free lunch in the world.
Zhang Heng suddenly gave him ten times more funds than he expected, so what he wanted was definitely greater benefits.
Do you want to buy out my research results? Zach's face hesitated for the first time.
Five million dollars is a lot of temptation for him at the moment.
"Are there any conditions?" Zach asked.
Zhang Heng nodded: "Yes, I need to get 30% of the shares after the website is launched!" ”
Thirty percent is not a lot, you know, in his previous life, Zach was worth nearly 40 billion US dollars by 2015, and his shares were only 28.
Zach was stunned, a little incredulous, as long as thirty percent?
And......
Not 300,000, not 400,000, not 500,000......
But...... Million!
Zach felt his heart jump out of his throat, his face was overjoyed, and he said decisively: "Deal!" ”
……
In the afternoon, Zach took Zhang Heng to his secret stronghold.
It was a four-story tall tube building, and when I entered the stairs, I came to the fourth floor, and when I pushed the door open, the two of them came to a relatively closed room.
The smell in the room is clean, but the arrangement is strange and messy, five computers and all kinds of instruments are distributed in all corners of the room, all kinds of wiring are entangled, it looks messy, in front of a computer, a young man with messy hair is concentrating on coding a program online.
The light through the window shines in, and you can see the dust floating in the air.
"This is where I usually work, this is Dustin Moskweir, you can call him Dustin!" Zach happily introduced the young man to Zhang Heng, and at the same time, shouted: "Hey, hey, man, don't be busy, I'll introduce you to a big boss!" ”
Dustin's eyes were bloodshot, he turned his head, glanced at Zhang Heng, and nodded slightly: "Hello, Dustin!" ”
"Hello!" Zhang Heng said: "Zhang Heng! ”
After a greeting, Dustin threw himself back on the keyboard, his eyes continuing to stare at the computer, his fingers darling.
"I'm so sorry, Zhang! That's what Dustin looks like! He's a tech junkie! Zach shrugged.
Zhang Heng nodded, indicating that he understood, technical nerds, no matter in the past life or in this life, there will be no shortage of such people in any world.
When visiting Zack's secret base, a brake sound came from the bottom of the building, and after a while, Wei Lan appeared in front of Zhang Heng wearing a black professional secretary suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and a briefcase.
Taking the text in the briefcase, Zhang Heng looked at Wei Lan carefully, and always felt that something was wrong with her today.
"Is there something wrong?" Wei Lan asked with a smile as usual.
Before Zhang Heng could answer, Zach ran over, and when he saw Wei Lan, his eyes lit up, "Zhang, is this your secretary Wei?" It's beautiful, hello, my name is Zach Berg! ”
"Hello!" After Wei Lan shook hands with Zack, he stood aside, and he didn't look at the Yiqiē in the room, but didn't say a word.
Zhang Heng shook his head, maybe he was thinking too much.
But, how did Wei Lan know about this place? Zhang Heng had just called her on the phone to ask her to prepare a standard contract in detail, but she hadn't had time to tell her the address of this place.
A moment later, Zhang Heng signed a $5 million investment contract with Zack, and called Guò phone bank on the spot to transfer money to the bank account provided by Zack.
It wasn't until this time that Dustin reacted, he stood up, came to Zhang Heng from the computer, stretched out his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Thank you!" ”
Zhang Heng was stunned, and after returning the salute, Dustin looked at Zack: "Zack, go to the ATM downstairs to withdraw money, I'm starving to death!" ”
"Oh, here we go!"
Zach had a rare shy look on his face, smiled awkwardly, and said to Zhang Heng: "Zhang, you wait first, I'll go buy food for Dustin!" ”
Looking at Zach's departing figure, Dustin suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid of being deceived by us?" Five million is not a small amount! ”
Zhang Heng smiled: "I don't lack these five million!" ”
Dustin was stunned.
A few years later, when Facebook was officially listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the United States, and its market value surpassed that of traditional giants such as Coca-Cola and AT&T, reaching hundreds of billions of dollars, Dustin, who was worth tens of billions of dollars, lamented to hundreds of media outlets who came to witness the miracle: "When I first met Zhang, I thought he was really a fool to invest 5 million in a photo-sharing website with no prospects. ”
"It wasn't until he said a word very domineeringly that I didn't know where the gap between me and him was!"
"What did he say, you ask? Hehe......"
"I'm sorry, I can't say!"
"That's the inexhaustible treasure of my life!"
