The press conference, which was originally scheduled to be an hour, took more than two hours. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Wenhao's speech took less than 10 minutes, and he was originally going to leave the remaining 50 minutes to reporters to ask questions.

However, in Chen Wenhao's short speech, the information that broke the news was too violent, and the reporters were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and all kinds of questions and interviews simply delayed the press conference for more than one hour.

Of course, Zuckerberg, who remained at the scene, was also one of the reasons for the commotion of the reporters. Some reporters saw that there were too many people around Chen Wenhao, so they turned their attention to Zuckerberg.

In fact, Chinese netizens are very familiar with Zuckerberg, not only because he is the youngest self-made billionaire, but also because of his high exposure in China.

Even though Facebook has not yet been able to enter the Chinese market, he has come to China five times in recent years, traveling, worshipping Buddha, running in the morning, giving speeches, and being received by leaders...... Each trip to China has attracted a lot of media coverage.

Among IT practitioners, the favorability of Facebook is also relatively high, and compared with other large companies in Silicon Valley, Facebook is one of the few programmers who are more willing to promote the background of Chinese mainland and enter middle management.

Looking at Google, which is also engineer-oriented, even though its Chinese engineers have accounted for about 30% of all engineers, they are basically in basic positions, such as project leaders and other key middle-level positions, and more are Indian engineers.

finally got rid of the entanglement of reporters, and Chen Wenhao finally had a formal conversation with Zuckerberg. Chen Wenhao invited Xiaozha to visit his company.

The conference room was still being renovated, and the group filled Chen Wenhao's office to the brim.

The conversation and communication with Xiaozha were very smooth, and after a few simple greetings, both of them were engineers, so it was natural to turn the topic to the product technology that engineers were most passionate about.

"Chen, how did you do that?" Xiao Zha asked with doubts, "Our team of engineers has studied for a long time, but still doesn't understand that with the current technology, it is completely impossible to translate the existing level of Xiaoka. ”

"Of course, the existing technology will not work. A newly created programming language, a completely different configuration environment, higher operating efficiency, lower hardware requirements, and that's it. ”

Chen Wenhao doesn't mind revealing some information, anyway, without the help of Xiaoka, judging from the current technological development speed on the earth, "it will take at least fifty years to touch the edge." (Xiaoka)

Hearing this answer, Xiao Zha fell into a moment of contemplation, "Wow, that sounds very cool." Chen, I have a suggestion that you might be interested in hearing about. ”

Xiao Zha pointed to the entourage behind him, "As the CEO of Facebook, I officially submitted a request to you for the acquisition. ”

He took a document handed over by his subordinates, "There are two plans, the first plan is that Facebook will buy your company wholly for $12 billion, plus $2 billion in Facebook shares; The second option is for Facebook to invest $8.5 billion, in cash, to acquire 60% ownership of your company. ”

Xiao Zha looked at Chen Wenhao's eyes and handed over the paperwork, "This is the detailed rules of the acquisition plan." On behalf of Facebook, I can promise that no matter which option you choose, Infinite Future will operate independently, you will still be the CEO of this company, and Facebook will not interfere in specific management matters."

Legend has it that tens of billions of dollars of mergers and acquisitions happened in front of his eyes, and Jin Wei and Fang Yuxin, who were accompanying him in the office, felt that they were about to stop breathing, and their eyes were all focused on Chen Wenhao.

Chen Wenhao looked at the document in front of him and said that he was not a little nervous or excited in his heart, it must be fake. However, he knew exactly what his goals were.

He looked up and saw that Jin Wei and Fang Yuxin were both staring at him with excited eyes, and couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Zuckerberg, I have a question that I am curious about: it is said that in 2005, MTV Network wanted to buy your Facebook for $75 million, and subsequently, Yahoo and Microsoft both offered higher prices. The following year, Yahoo made a $1 billion offer. However, you rejected all acquisition offers. Judging by the results now, the refusal at that time was certainly wise. But at the time, it was a really exciting price. What did you think at the time? ”

Chen Wenhao shook his hand lightly, stopping Xiao Zha from trying to speak, "I remember that there were media reports afterwards that you rejected the acquisition in this way, and you said, 'It's not a matter of price. This is my child, and I want to raise it myself and watch it grow. You see, today, I have encountered the same choice as you, and I think you can understand my feelings. ”

"Dear Chen, the current Internet market is very different from the beginning, and it is difficult for companies that do not accept equity investment to gain a foothold in the global market. Xiaoka translation software is a magical product, I love this product to death, it makes the whole world communication easier, it should be known by more users, and create value for more users. ”

Xiaozha paused, "Then choosing to cooperate with Facebook is the best solution." Facebook already has more than 1.5 billion monthly active users, and it will be even higher in the future. Even in the online world without borders, they are invisibly separated by different language regions. Now with your involvement, you can solve this problem, and your product will get more users. ”

"To be honest, I'm impressed. But I have a better offer. ”

"Please."

"$5 billion, within two years, the functions of the small card translation software can be exclusively licensed to Facebook.

I can promise that during the licensing period, no commercial website other than Facebook will receive this treatment. However, Facebook also needs to help promote the card translation software. ”

"What can I do with feature licensing?"

"I've looked at Facebook's public interface code, and in just a week, we will provide an embedded module that conforms to the interface format, which can ensure that all users on Facebook, no matter what country they see the text and video, the page will be automatically translated into the user's native language.

Of course, the user's language should be included in the list of supported language packs. ”

Xiao Zha stood up and looked at Chen Wenhao, "Just using the license, $5 billion is too expensive!" ”

"No, the price is very reasonable. Please note that it is exclusive! In other words, for two full years, Facebook will have an exclusive advantage that its competitors do not have, which is enough for Facebook to leave these competitors far behind. Compared to this, $5 billion is simply too cheap. ”

"We need to talk about it." Xiao Zha's eyes flickered.

"No problem, this office is reserved for you first, and we will wait for the results outside." Chen Wenhao stood up, took Jin Wei and Fang Yuxin out together, and thoughtfully opened the door for Xiaozha and them.

"Boss, I'm not dreaming!" Seeing the door closed, Fang Yuxin lowered her voice and spoke to Chen Wenhao, but it was still difficult to suppress the excitement in her voice.

"Don't get excited, it's just the beginning." Chen Wenhao asked Jin Wei to gather all the colleagues in the office area and tell everyone about the matter. As expected, I gained glasses and chins.

"Mr. Chen, do you think Zuckerberg can agree?" Jin Wei rubbed his hands and asked.

"Facebook has grown to such a large scale in his hands, and he will not miss this opportunity. Even if he doesn't agree, I think more people will come to us soon. ”

Half an hour later, the office door opened. Xiao Zha was the first to walk out.

Facing the eyes of everyone outside, Xiao Zha walked up to Chen Wenhao and stretched out his hand, "Facebook can accept this offer, but the number of supported languages must be increased!" ”

Yes, what about the top 10 most spoken languages in the world? If necessary, you can also customize the language pack, just exchange it with Facebook's ad inventory. Chen Wenhao immediately replied.

Xiao Zha stared at Chen Wenhao's eyes, stared at them for a few seconds, and stretched out his hand, "Deal!" I wish us a happy cooperation! ”
