After the party was over, it was still the extended Lincoln that came to pick up Scarlett and Chen Xi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Originally, I wanted to have something happen with Scarlett after the party, but then I thought that this was someone else's company's car, and if I followed her home, it was estimated that the impact would not be good, so Chen Xi had to give up this tempting idea.

However, when Chen Xi got off the bus after arriving at the hotel, Scarlett also hinted that he was free these days and could find her if he had something.

Since there are still a few advertisements and commercial activities to participate, Chen Xi will also stay in the United States for a few days, so he is not in a hurry...... In the next few days, Chen Xi was like rushing to the scene, attending various activities.

Even though Chen Xi has achieved crazy results at this summer's European Championships, his appeal in the United States is still not comparable to those stars in the four major American sports leagues.

Although he didn't feel the enthusiasm of the Yankees, Chen Xi was still very serious when attending the event and did not perfunctory.

He knew very well that these activities were nominally helping to promote his products, but in fact he was not promoting himself in the American market.

Chen Xi endorses some world-class big brands, and there are some audiences in the United States itself, and there may be many people who know Chen Xi because they come here to participate in promotional activities, and even start to pay attention to football.

Chen Xi can't expect Americans' concepts to change for so many years because of himself. He knew very well that this kind of change could only be done slowly, bit by bit...... after two busy days, Chen Xi finally had free time.

He didn't go to Scarlett in the first place, but dialed the number Zuckerberg left him last time.

Hearing that Chen Xi was coming to the United States, Zuckerberg was very excited and said that he would rush to Los Angeles to meet Chen Xi immediately.

Since Zuckerberg couldn't get to Los Angeles until late in the evening, Chen Xi contacted Scarlett again.

This Nizi seems to be really free these days, and she came out as soon as she received a call from Chen Xi.

Chen Xi is not very familiar with Los Angeles, so he said that he would follow Scarlett's arrangement.

As a result, Scarlett, the girl, did not propose to go shopping in the shopping street like ordinary girls, but said that she would take Chen Xi to the famous Chinatown in Los Angeles.

Chen Xi naturally agreed with Scarlett's suggestion, and he also wanted to see Chinatown in Los Angeles.

At the same time, Chen Xi also experienced Scarlett's thoughtfulness.

In fact, Scarlett only knew the location of Chinatown, and she hadn't been here before.

When she saw something with Chinese characteristics in some Chinese shops in Chinatown, she was like a curious baby, touching it here, looking there, and constantly asking Chen Xi what it was and what it was for.

So, after entering Chinatown, Chen Xi and Scarlett's identities were reversed, he became a guide, and Scarlett became a tourist.

When Scarlett takes a fancy to some trinkets, Chen Xi will not hesitate to help her buy them.

After a while, a large number of large and small things such as Chinese knots, wooden combs, small mirrors, fat powder boxes, and so on appeared in the bag in Chen Xi's hand.

As a Chinese, Chen Xi certainly knows that many of these small things are decorative surnames more than practical surnames, but since Scarlett likes them, he still paid for them one by one.

After strolling around until dinner time, Scarlett reluctantly left those shops and sat down with Chen Xi to find a Chinese restaurant.

When she saw the big bags of things in Chen Xi's hand, she realized that she had already bought so many things, and stuck out her tongue at Chen Xi embarrassedly: "I didn't expect to buy so many things, otherwise, I will return the money to you later, right?" ”

"There is a saying in China that 'a thousand dollars are hard to buy and laugh in the city', I only spent such a small amount of money, and I made you laugh happily so many times, I made a lot of money, how can I ask for your money!" Chen Xi looked at Scarlett's playful appearance and said with a smile.

Although Scarlett didn't understand what "Allure Laugh" was, she still understood the general meaning of Chen Xi's words, and she knew that Chen Xi was saying that as long as she was happy, the money was worth it. Thinking of this, her heart was sweet.

In fact, with her current popularity, there are more men who are willing to spend a lot of money for her, but the money thrown by those men who don't like it is not worth a thoughtful compliment from the man they like.

"Thank you so much! Why don't I treat you to dinner? Scarlett thought for a moment and said.

"What a job! Although Los Angeles is your territory, but now you are in Chinatown, I am a '', so this is my territory, so naturally I have to treat myself to the friendship of landlords! "Chen Xi is a bit machismo, and when he eats with women, he is never used to letting women pay for it. Even if the other party is a dinosaur, Chen Xi will pay for the meal, let alone eat with a big beauty like Scarlett.

Scarlett didn't force it anymore, she knew that men must show their demeanor in this regard.

After the two sat for a while, Zuckerberg called, and Chen Xi told him the place and asked him to come over for dinner.

"An American friend of mine, since he has come to the United States, he is going to meet him, don't you mind having dinner together?" After Chen Xi finished the phone, he explained to Scarlett.

"Don't mind, your friend is my friend!" Scarlett said with a sweet smile.

After spending an afternoon with Chen Xi in the two-person world, she was already very satisfied.

After a while, Zuckerberg appeared at the door of the store with a Chinese girl.

"Hey, here, Mark!" Chen Xi beckoned and shouted.

Seeing Chen Xi, Zuckerberg walked over with the smile he was accustomed to.

"Edison, this is my girlfriend Priscilla Chan, I told you, you are compatriots." As soon as he came in, Zuckerberg pointed to the Chinese girl next to him and introduced. Then he pointed to Edison and said, "Honey, this is Edison-Chen, my friend." He gave us a lot of advice on our website! ”

"Hehe, I heard Mark talk about you last time. Speaking of which, we're still our family! Chen Xi stood up and shook Priscilla's hand and said.

Priscilla is not a beauty in Chen Xi's eyes, and if she sounds good, she can only be regarded as decent-looking, with dark skin, especially when she stands with the fair-skinned Zuckerberg.

However, Chen Xi also knows that the aesthetics of Westerners are very different from those of Easterners. Don't you see some Chinese actresses or Chinese models who have developed well in the United States, and they all look miserable in the eyes of Chinese?

"Hello, I saw you on the news. You played great football and helped us Chinese win glory! Hehe! "Priscilla's surname is very cheerful, and she doesn't look reserved in front of strangers like most girls, after all, she grew up abroad.

"Haha. It's over. This is Scarlett Johansson, my friend. After Chen Xi finished speaking, he introduced Scarlett, and then said to Scarlett: "This is Mark Zuckerberg. I don't think it will be long before he becomes a rich man. When the time comes, make a movie and ask him to invest, haha! ”

Scarlett Johansson put away the playfulness she had with Chen Xi, shook hands with Zuckerberg and Priscilla very dignifiedly, and said, "Hello! ”

"Don't listen to Edison, I'm just getting started." Zuckerberg said a little shyly.

"Scarlett! I love watching your movies, but I didn't expect to see you today! Priscilla seemed excited. Looks like a star chaser.

Zuckerberg also took advantage of Priscilla's inattention to give Chen Xi a thumbs up, although he is usually an otaku, but he naturally knows Scarlett Johansson, a popular surname goddess in the United States.

Chen Xi knew that Zuckerberg must have misunderstood his relationship with Scarlett, but he didn't deliberately explain.

After taking a seat, Chen Xi ordered according to the tastes of the other three.

Zuckerberg found a Chinese girlfriend, and she is no stranger to Chinese food, but Scarlett doesn't seem to have tasted Chinese food and thinks it's very fresh.

The four of them were all young people in their twenties, so they quickly became acquainted.

Priscilla was very enthusiastic to do it by Scarlett's side, and asked her about some gossip in the entertainment industry.

Chen Xi can also have a good chat with Zuckerberg.

"Well, the company should be on track now, right?" Chen Xi asked.

"Well, now we have a user base that covers universities all over the United States. And it's expanding to the periphery! Thanks to your valuable suggestions, our site is very popular with college students because of the many things that make our site different from other community sites! Zuckerberg introduced in detail, his tone full of gratitude to Chen Xi.

Thanks to some advanced advice given by Chen Xi, Facebook has expanded a few points faster than it has historically.

"Hehe, that's your own idea, it's not bad. Without my advice, your website would have worked! Chen Xi said modestly.

In fact, even without him as a time-traveler, Facebook's speed of development is miraculous in the Internet industry.

"Thank you anyway!" Zuckerberg said from the bottom of his heart.

Although Zuckerberg said something good, Chen Xi saw some worry in his eyes, so he took the initiative to ask, "Is there any trouble?" ”

Zuckerberg came to meet Chen Xi today just to get together with him, and he didn't want to say anything unhappy, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't hide it from Chen Xi.

After all, he is just a college student who has just started a business, and Chen Xi is a person who has traveled through two lives, so he naturally can't hide anything in front of Chen Xi.

Seeing that Chen Xi had seen through himself, Zuckerberg simply didn't bother to hide it, and directly took a sip of wine and said, "It's true that I'm in some trouble." We started this website with the help of CONNECTU, the No. 1 community website in the United States at the time. We used their source code. Now that we've done it, they may feel threatened and ready to sue us for that reason. ”

After hearing Zuckerberg's troubles, Chen Xi also knew that this was his chance, so he generously said: "It's not a big problem, they agreed to use their source code at first, and now they are looking for trouble, it's a big deal that you just pay them a usage fee!" If you don't have enough money, I'll lend you a sum of money in my personal capacity! ”

Chen Xi did not say that he would invest a sum of money in Facebook, but said that he lent it to Zuckerberg in a private capacity, which can be said to have two considerations.

On the one hand, he confirmed that Zuckerberg was a person worthy of deep friendship, and he didn't want too many issues involving the two of them.

Second, he also believes that if Zuckerberg accepts his money, it will not be in the form of borrowing, but will offer to convert the money into investment.

"I do need funding, and I've approached angel investors and I'm going to apply for a $500,000 investment from them. I don't think it's a big problem in this regard! Zuckerberg actually has the same idea as Chen Xi, he regards Chen Xi as a friend, so he doesn't want to involve interests with Chen Xi.

"Angel investing? Didn't you give them the money to earn it? In this way, you take a million dollars from me, I don't need to return it, you can just give it back to me when you earn it! Chen Xi was a little anxious when he heard that other investors were ready to provide loans to Zuckerberg. This is a good thing that is profitable, how can it be cheaper for others.

"How can you take your money for nothing!" Zuckerberg said with some embarrassment. He was confident in his website, knowing that it might not be long before the company's market capitalization would climb wildly. He is also a little unwilling to let investors make so much money in vain.

"Do you think of me as a friend? Friends should help each other and don't need to worry about gains and losses. I'm lending you money because I'm sure it won't take long for you to make more money back than that! Chen Xi said with a serious face.

"Of course we are friends!" Zuckerberg said firmly, and then, as if he had made a decision, he suddenly said: "Edison, in fact, after you gave me a lot of useful advice the last time we met on the plane, I made up my mind. That is, I must make this site bigger and stronger. When the site is of great value, I will give you 10% of the company's shares in return for your suggestions. But now the site has not had time to expand its full reach, and it is in trouble. Now you are ready to help me selflessly, and I can't let you suffer. So, you invest a million in it, and I'll give you 15 percent of the shares! Although our website is not worth much now, I believe you have seen the prospect too! ”

After hearing Zuckerberg's words, Chen Xi was taken aback. I didn't expect this kid to have such thoughts.

In this way, he has become a villain.

Ten percent of the shares?

Chen Xi understands what this means better than Zuckerberg!

Before Chen Xi crossed over, Facebook's valuation was at least tens of billions. Ten percent of the shares, that's more than a billion dollars!

Zuckerberg may not have expected his company to have such a big prospect, but he certainly knows that a 10 percent stake is certainly not a small amount in the future.

This also made Chen Xi even more convinced that Zuckerberg is a person worthy of deep friendship!

"Mark! I think you know as well as I know how good your website will grow in the future. Ten percent is not a small amount, I can't accept that! So, I invest a million dollars, and I only need one percent of the shares! Chen Xi also gritted his teeth and said kindly.

Nima, this sentence is to push a billion dollars out...... The flesh hurts!

"Nope! Edison! I have my principles! The 10% I decided must be given to you, you don't want it now, and I can give it to you when I develop it later! As a friend, I don't want you to break my kindness! Zuckerberg said with a look of insistence.

Looking at Zuckerberg's insistent appearance with a slightly immature face, Chen Xi was also quite moved. He also knew that he couldn't be hypocritical anymore, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Mark, I accept your shares. But you also have to accept my investment! Since they have accepted 10% of the company's shares, and I am also a major shareholder, then I should not refuse to invest in my company! ”

"This ......" Zuckerberg understood what Chen Xi meant, he wanted to invest but not ask for returns!

"Mark! You have your principles, and I have my persistence! I hope you can respect my persistence!" Chen Xi also said with a persistent face. got 10% of the shares of Facebook, which will be popular in the future, and he has already made a lot of money. So on the small side, he said that he was not willing to take advantage of anything else.

"Good! Edison, I respect you! I'll get this site up and running quickly, so that your investment will pay off quickly! Zuckerberg said confidently.

"I believe in you! Trust my own eyes too! come, for our friendship, for our cooperation...... Cheers! Hearing Zuckerberg's words, Chen Xi also raised his glass proudly and said.

"Well, for our friendship, for our cooperation...... Cheers! Zuckerberg's face was also flushed with excitement, and after raising his cup and touching it with Chen Xi, he drank it all!

Chen Xi and Zuckerberg had a toast very selflessly, and the two women next to them didn't know what was going on, so they sat down next to the two men and asked about the situation.

"What are you talking about? So excited? Scarlett sat down next to Chen Xi and asked in a low voice.

"Just negotiated a billion-dollar deal! More than that, I got a friendship that was more precious than a billion dollars! Chen Xi said with a smile.

"A billion dollars?" Scarlett covered her mouth cutely, looking surprised.

As a Hollywood actor, although she often hears about tens of millions of movie investments, she still hasn't had much contact with such a huge amount of money in private, so she was surprised.

"Yes! When I have a billion-dollar worth of dollars, you will be my girlfriend and eat and drink spicy food with me, right? Looking at Scarlett's beautiful face in front of him, Chen Xi couldn't help but smile.

"Humph! Don't want it! After hearing Chen Xi's words, Scarlett's pretty face turned red, but she stubbornly refused.

Scarlett still hasn't said half a sentence in her heart, that is: Even if you don't have a billion dollars, I'm willing to be your girlfriend......
