The Lakers went through back-to-back plays, playing four games in five days and finally being able to rest for two days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the morning of the 26th, Lu Xiaofeng did not fly back to Los Angeles with the team's charter flight.

Together with Chen Yuhan, he flew to San Jose, where Lu Guoqing and the people from XY-CAPITAL were already waiting for them.

Once you're connected, drive straight to Palo Alto.

Sitting in the business car, Lu Xiaofeng asked Xu Fangming, who was sitting in the passenger cab:

"Manager Xu, what is the other party's attitude, and is he willing to accept our financing?"

failed to do things well, hearing Lu Xiaofeng's inquiry, Xu Fangming replied with a little embarrassment:

He didn't agree, nor did he directly refuse, asking to talk to the boss and Feng Shao in person first, and then talk.

"Huh! It's not too old, but the shelf is not small! If it's really like what you said, you can understand it. Young geniuses, it's normal to be arrogant. I'm afraid I still want to see our sincerity! ”

Lu Guoqing interjected.

"There is less wind, if you want me to say, we have the successful experience of QQ and Weibo, there is no need to be so condescending."

As the manager of XY-CAPITAL, Xu Fangming has handled hundreds of millions of dollars in funds in the past two years.

Now he is closed to a little-known college student, and he is somewhat resentful.

If Lu Xiaofeng hadn't told him that no matter what, he would have invested in that social software, he would have been too lazy to pay attention to the other party.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled faintly, and he could understand Xu Fangming's thoughts.

Just like Bill Gates, who could have predicted it until it didn't work out?

"QQ and Weibo, after all, are in China, and the successful experience is also based on the cultural concept in China."

Lu Xiaofeng talked to Xu Fangming about his investment layout, which also strengthened Lu Guoqing's determination again.

"We want to internationalize QQ and Weibo, which is not a small difficulty, not to mention political barriers, user acceptance, is a big problem."

"There are cultural differences in different countries and regions, and what is popular in China is not necessarily popular abroad."

Xu Fangming had a different opinion and interjected:

"We can hire locals to do the transformation, on the basis of QQ and Weibo, wouldn't it be nice to change it?"

"Huh! No matter how it changes, it still has a Chinese flavor! How can it compare to the home-grown 'domestic product'? ”

Without waiting for Xu Fangming to refute, Lu Xiaofeng continued:

"We also have to consider the issue of diversification, and we can't tie the future to Tencent!"

In this way, Xu Fangming couldn't refute it, but he still couldn't figure it out:

"Why are you optimistic about this software? Although they chose to spread among the student community, it was a good idea, but it was too young. ”

"Huh! It's good to be young! Only young people have the momentum and can continue to innovate! Ma Huateng and they were also very young! ”

Lu Guoqing also disagreed with his statement.

Speaking of youth, my son is younger than all of them!

"Manager Xu, don't treat him as an ordinary person, I think he is the next Bill Gates."

"Ahh Feng Shao has such a high opinion of him? Xu Fangming was taken aback, Bill Gates, that's the richest man in the world!

"Huh! I believe you have also seen that in the future development of the Internet, social media must be the focus, he can have this vision, and have the courage to do it, and the ability to develop to the point where it is now, the future is limitless! ”

Xu Fangming thought about it carefully, it was really like that, and he also had a new positioning for that young man in his heart.

Although Lu Guoqing brought a large number of people, he was not prepared to overwhelm people, and the place where they talked to each other was in a quiet café near Stanford University.

Leaving the entourage outside, Lu Guoqing and his son only took Xu Fangming and Chen Yuhan in.

Entering the booked private room, Lu Xiaofeng recognized the young man at a glance - Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.

He arrived first, and didn't really put up a fight.

Zuckerberg came alone, and when he saw so many people, he frowned.

Xu Fangming hurriedly introduced them one by one, and in the end, only Lu Guoqing's father and son and Zuckerberg sat together.

Xu Fangming and Chen Yuhan both stood behind.

After sitting down, Zuckerberg couldn't wait and got straight to the point:

"Mr. Lu, I know that you have invested in QQ and Weibo in China, and I have also browsed Xiaofeng's Weibo, and there are so many users that it has been very successful, why did you invest in Facebook?"

Lu Xiaofeng was not surprised that Zuckerberg called himself Xiaofeng, he knew that Zuckerberg had a Chinese girlfriend, but Zuckerberg still spoke English, and Lu Guoqing couldn't understand it.

After Lu Xiaofeng translated it to his father, he replied directly:

"Mark, in the social field, QQ and Weibo are not the only way, and I am looking forward to another model."

"As you may know, QQ is a very private software that is closed, while Weibo, although open, is only a supplement to QQ."

"For historical reasons, we don't want to change the attributes of QQ and Weibo."

"But your Facebook is different, and we're expecting it to open up a new model."

"In China, QQ is people's network ID, and I expect Facebook to become the network ID of Americans and even Westerners."

Lu Xiaofeng said a lot, and said all his expectations for Facebook's development.

Listening to Lu Xiaofeng's words, Zuckerberg was a little moved, after all, the other party had successfully promoted similar software, but he also had his own scruples.

"I'm looking forward to it, but Facebook is my heart's work, and I don't want to trade it for money, I want to make it my life's work to make it easier for people to communicate. To be honest, I'm a little scared of angel funding. ”

For Zuckerberg's great dream, Lu Xiaofeng can only pay tribute to him and understand his worries.

"Haha! Mark, you can rest assured. You know, QQ and Weibo, it is still Mr. Ma Huateng who has the final say, we are just making suggestions. ”

"We have no intention of manipulating your company, and to be honest, we are more optimistic about your own talent than your software and company."

"In our eyes, you are the next Bill Gates."

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng say this, Zuckerberg was also flattered, but what was even happier was that Lu Xiaofeng said that he had no intention of manipulating his company.

Not only can he make his own decisions and do his own business, but also introduce capital and expand the scale of the company, Zuckerberg is of course moved, and he is ready to agree.

"I still have one condition, I hope that Mr. Lu himself, or Xiaofeng, you will serve as a director in person, and no one else."

Zuckerberg was still not at ease, so he put forward another condition, and glanced at Xu Fangming behind him as he spoke.

In Lu Xiaofeng's opinion, this is all a trivial matter, and he agreed to it.

In the final negotiations, XY-CAPITAL invested $500,000 to acquire 10% of Facebook's shares, and Lu Guoqing personally represented XY-CAPITAL as a director of Facebook.

Of course, Lu Xiaofeng also has conditions, that is, when Facebook increases its capital in the future, XY-CAPITAL has priority.

But he doesn't really plan to get more equity.

He knows that Facebook will become a giant company in the United States in the future, and as a Chinese, it is unrealistic to have too many shares.

Either affect the company's development, or be kicked out of the company, it is better to keep a low profile from the beginning.

People can't be too greedy, 10 percent is already very impressive.

The reason why Chen Yuhan was allowed to listen with him was that Lu Xiaofeng also had his own plans.

He didn't want to spend too much energy on business, and he didn't want his parents to be too tired, so of course he wanted to cultivate his cronies.

Undoubtedly, Chen Yuhan is one of the people he trusts the most, and of course he should be the key training object.

And he promised her that he would not let her be a canary.

Since she wants to eat on her talents, give her a chance and give it a try! (To be continued.) )
