"That's it, about ...... Well...... It was established in April or May, and I forgot, after all, it was first circulated inside the Harvard campus, and an internal mailbox was required for authentication, and I had already graduated. This website was sent to me by a former classmate, saying that it was convenient to contact, well, from this point of view, the website is still somewhat interesting. Neil opened the web page in Sean's laptop and typed in the URL, then pointed to the page and said to them.

"What's the use of that?" Galen asked.

"Organize a network with your friends through this platform, what the other party is doing, as long as you write about it, you will know the truth, and it is very convenient to communicate." Neil explained briefly.

"That's it?" Sanders shrugged, seemingly disapproving of the site.

"If you're interested, you can do your own research." Neil wouldn't tell him that he didn't know much about it, and although he signed up, he basically didn't use it a few times.

"Are you sure you want to invest?" He turned his head to look at Sean, "I don't think it's a good idea, although it has a lot of traffic, but the two people who started this site are still students, they don't necessarily have the patience to continue, and there are rumors of plagiarism all the time." ”

"But I think it's pretty good." Sean stared at the front page of the site, where the word Facebook was clearly written.

Without waiting for Neil to persuade him again, he had already made a decision: "I need you to be my representative, ask them if they are interested in coming to Silicon Valley, and if they want to come, I can invest millions at a time to support their website, and only 35% of the equity, without interfering in their management and operation - do you want to come along?" ”

The latter sentence is addressed to Galen and them.

The worst thing turned out was that Neil went to New York with his check and request, and Galen and Sanders joined in, which is what Sean said, not to mention the example of Google. And under his influence, they all have some considerable savings, so they share 5% of the share together and share 35% of the equity with him. It's not that I don't want more, but if I don't want more, the ...... who created the website Mark? Mr. Zuckerberg will probably refuse.

Sean doesn't remember how he became the king of the online social kingdom, he only remembers that Facebook is worth investing in, but this does not prevent him from standing in his own perspective to understand the feelings of others, when he first established the production company, if there were people who invested millions and tens of millions and asked for 35% or even more of the shares, he would not agree. It's about controlling the company, and if the founders have their own ideas about the company's prospects and believe that it will grow as a result, they will be wary of any possibility of being squeezed out.

It's not a big deal to share the 35% stake with Galen and Saunders, as long as Neil can meet his requirements, Sean will take the lion's share anyway, and it won't be until at least five or six years before he sees the benefits. Besides, Galen and Saunders have been with him for so long, and although they each have goals and careers that are developing well, it's time to share more. As for Neil, if he wants to invest in Facebook, he can also do it, as long as he can get another 35% of Sean, he can still talk about Zuckerberg.

Well, anyway, Sean has now stepped into the ranks of the super-rich, and it's quickly becoming known.

Google's listing is also a big deal, especially on the first day, with a market value of 20 billion or even higher, directly surpassing Nike and even Lockheed Martin, and various financial media are vying to report it.

There are many investors or investment funds that cannot be mentioned, and there are many celebrities who first owned Google, such as Schwarzenegger, who has become the governor of California, or Tiger Woods, O'Neal the big shark, and former Secretary of State Kissinger.

Sean is naturally on this list, and has been mentioned many times, you know, even the two famous venture capitalists of Kleiner Perkins Huaying and Sequoia Capital only hold 10% and 12% of the shares respectively, while he alone occupies as much as 8%, and he invested after the bursting of the IT bubble in 00.

Although it is not as big as Schwarzenegger and others, and the few small dollars invested at the beginning have been exchanged for tens of thousands of times the return today, it is also worth writing about.

"When the IT bubble burst, everyone talked about the IT industry, and they were afraid to avoid it from time to time, a young man who had just become an actor for a short time, but he went against the current and invested 20 million yuan in Google, which was still very weak at the time. Now, his investment has paid off, with nearly $2 billion worth of shares giving the young star, Sean? Don became one of the youngest billionaires. It seems that he not only has a good eye for choosing scripts, but also has a good eye for investment. "Fortune" wrote this to Sean in its report on Google's listing.

Although the financial media was the first to report, the economy, finance and entertainment are basically part of each other, and the ranking of the actors' net worth mentioned earlier is made by Fortune magazine. So the entertainment media quickly reprinted it, and the report that Sean made a lot of money by holding shares in Google and became the richest star in Hollywood spread rapidly.

If in the past, the hundreds of millions of dollars he earned with the production company were only known to insiders, and he was just a famous actor in front of outsiders, then the current assets of nearly 2 billion are basically well known.

"Lucky Shaun's Lucky Investment", "Equally Excellent Investment Vision", "The Richest Star" and other reports have been released, and the content is basically biased towards the good aspects, such as praising his vision, or surprising that the IT industry has created a myth, etc.

It is normal that the media can offend ordinary people, the middle class, and celebrities, but not the rich, or the super-rich. What's more, many sources indicate that the other party is still a member of Google's board of directors and has ties to many big names, which can't help but make the media careful - at least before figuring out the specifics.

Not only that, but "The Aviator" has already started the second step of publicity, and the interviews made during the broadcast and filming on various TV stations are several leading actors talking about the plot and characters in front of the camera, so as to further attract the audience's curiosity and let them enter the theater as soon as possible.

With the tendency of the media to sing and decline before, it is simply impossible not to take the opportunity to make an article at this time. But now that the impossible has become possible, there has been little reaction from most of the media, and some tabloids have continued to attack Scorsese's casting vision, insisting that Sean is not suitable for the role, but the words used seem to be tickling.

Of course, those tabloids that are not in the mainstream may still be attacking, but unfortunately no one pays attention.

This is naturally the shock brought by Sean's exposed net worth, but unfortunately neither Warner nor Miramax want to see such a situation, after all, they originally hoped that Sean could attract more attention.

But they didn't say anything, the net worth of 2 billion can be regarded as a big shot no matter where it is, and the impact of Sean's net worth exposure is not negative, such as ...... Equating him with Hughes when it comes to propaganda?

Similarly, on the set of "Ocean's Twelve", Sean also received more respect, and even Clooney's gaze on him changed a lot. After the release of "My Grand Greek Wedding", although he regarded him as a figure who could be equaled, he still treated him as a senior.

But not now, although Clooney is also a wealthy star, he does not lose to two Toms, but it has not reached this point, so they are ...... with each other More equal, even a little higher than Sean. As for Pitt, and even Cheadle, it's even worse.

Of course, these are all invisible, things that are hidden in the depths of people's consciousness, and they are generally not manifested, and even I am rarely aware of them, which is the subtle change of rank.

On the other hand, it is much more naked, before Reincarnation Pictures easily raised 100 million for expansion, although the profits are not bad, but when they want to continue financing, many funds have raised the threshold and want more power.

Sean naturally disagreed, so Vladimir and they talked for more than half a year but failed to reach an agreement, however, after Google went public and Sean's net worth was exposed, the attitude of these guys immediately turned 180 degrees, accompanied by smiling faces scrambling to provide funds, and the conditions also fell again and again.

After all, although there are not so many assets from Google shares after cashing out, half of the billions is already very good, but as long as a small part is taken out as collateral, you can get the liquidity you want from the bank, and you still need to find fund financing at that time? And the benefits of Reincarnation Pictures in the past few years have been put there, and if the various funds on Wall Street miss out, it will definitely be a bad thing.

This is the charm and power of capital.

Of course, the biggest gain after the exposure of net worth is not these, but-

"For what? Quite simply, I think this site is cool. Sean, who was sitting in a high-backed chair, raised his hands, "I didn't go to college, and I can't find so many adjectives in my head, so I can only say ...... It's cool, it's going to be a wonderful world. ”

The two young men behind the desk exchanged glances, the rather frivolous one shrugged his shoulders, and the one with the long face smiled: "Thank you for your compliment, Sean." ”

"You and your Facebook deserve it, Mark," Sean Haroh laughed, "So, I think this site should have a lot of potential, and even people like me are attracted to it, not to mention the younger ones, and with their leadership, it's easy to create a trend, and then more people will join in, and soon this will become a social kingdom on the Internet." ”

He said as he sat up straight and looked at Mark without blinking? Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook: "I believe in my investment vision, Mark, which made me pick Google in '00, and although it cost 20 million, Google recently returned me nearly 100 times the gains. And now, it has led me to pick Facebook, and I think that in the near future, Facebook will also bring 100 times the revenue, and Facebook has the potential to catch up with Google! ”
