Chen Wenhao quickly understood what Xiao Zha meant by "cusp". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The night before, it was almost midnight when the contract was signed, but it was still afternoon for U.S. time. After bidding farewell to Zuckerberg and his entourage, Chen Wenhao encouraged all the employees of the company who stayed behind, and then went back to their respective homes to rest.

I had just slept for five or six hours, and the sky was just dawning, and the reminder message from Xiaoka came.

An hour after the contract was signed, Facebook filed an interim report on the partnership with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to the relevant securities regulations of the United States, listed companies must submit corresponding event reports and financial data to the SEC within four working days of the occurrence of a major event. After the SEC reviews it, the content of the report will be made available to public investors.

According to SEC regulations, listed companies are not allowed to leak relevant content to the news media until the interim report is made public. Therefore, Zuckerberg also deliberately communicated with Chen Wenhao and did not announce the news of cooperation for the time being.

However, the company concerned can not tell the media, but it cannot stop the media's vast power and self-reliance. Not long after the interim report was submitted to the SEC, Wall Street had already received the rumor, "Facebook has made a big move again!" It seems that it has signed a cooperation agreement with the parent company of the most popular small card translation software! It is said to be a big business! ”

The Wall Street Journal, the most well-connected financial media outlets, has the fastest response, the SEC does not accept interviews, and Facebook has no comment. Conventional ways don't allow it, so you can also probe from the side.

Previously, it is no secret that Zuckerberg suddenly went to China and appeared at the press conference of Infinite Future Technology. The scene is so multimedia, all kinds of news reports are already flying all over the sky, although most of them are reports in Chinese, but it doesn't matter, I have a small card translation software.

As a result, reports full of speculation and unnamed insiders have just come out, and today's newspaper has been released, and it doesn't matter, you can publish an electronic version first.

This news feast quickly became lively, spreading from financial media to major mainstream media in the United States, and after a night of fermentation, it began to attract the attention of major media around the world. One to ten, ten to hundred, become a well-known secret.

The domestic media is even more excited, all the reporters who participated in the press conference of Infinite Future Technology Company, in the press release of the day, the new version that was originally the focus of the report was upgraded to a background board, and all media without exception mentioned the news of Zuckerberg's sudden appearance, speculating that Facebook's acquisition of Infinite Future accounted for the majority.

After the press conference, various media outlets surrounded the representatives of the two companies, all hoping for further information, but to no avail. In the end, the two parties were locked out of the company on the grounds that they still wanted to talk about things.

Several media outlets with perseverance even stayed until midnight, the two sides ended the talks, and when Zuckerberg and his party left, it was a pity that everyone was silent about the questions.

Reporters who are familiar with the information disclosure system of listed companies in the United States have vaguely guessed a little, and the news reported by the American media is enough to confirm. Journalists have to thank the small card translation software, if the group with the highest penetration rate of small card translation software, it is estimated that it is the group of news reporters, basically one per person, so that many reporters with low foreign language proficiency can also understand the latest international news at the same time.

After a cursory glance at some reports from domestic and foreign media collected by Xiaoka, Chen Wenhao's sleepiness also disappeared. He estimated that next, the company would be surrounded by reporters again.

He thought about it and called Fang Yuxin and Jin Wei respectively. What I told Fang Yuxin was to settle the matter of renting the entire small building as soon as possible in the next few days, and this time there was no need to rush to decorate, and find a better design company to come up with a plan.

What Jin Wei told was that the promotion work would continue, but the focus of promotion could slowly shift to the mobile client that would be launched. In addition, you continue to deal with reporters in the past few days, the principle is not to say anything that should not be said, drag it out for a few days, and wait for the announcement on Facebook, and then reveal some dry goods.

And he himself has already booked a ticket to Xiangjiang City in the afternoon, but fortunately, he planned to travel not long ago, and he easily applied for a pass visa to Xiangjiang City, so he could leave.

Of course, this time I went to Xiangjiang City, naturally not for tourism, one is to purchase some equipment, and the other is to make a major adjustment to the company's organizational structure. Since it was decided to make a big scene, the original setting was a little inappropriate. The reason why Xiangjiang City was chosen is only because of some special historical reasons, some links are relatively independent, and they are more suitable for doing these things.

There was still some time before boarding, and Chen Wenhao was about to pack his luggage, but soon, his small plan was disrupted, and his mobile phone began to ring frequently. There are media, there are venture capital institutions, and there are the heads of other social networking sites and video sites that are a step late.

For the media, a lot of news can't be said now, Chen Wenhao simply pushed it to Jin Wei's side; As for the venture capital institution, if he is free, he doesn't mind communicating more with the other party, even if it is now, the contact person on the venture capital side is also very eye-catching, and when he heard him say that he was about to go on a business trip, he quickly stopped the topic and made an appointment to talk about it when he came back.

As for the people in charge of the various websites, he can only tell them very apologetically that he is about to go on a business trip. Moreover, they are already a step too late. These large companies have enough intelligence channels and are expected to know about the content of his cooperation with Facebook, and the main role of this phone call should be to make a final confirmation.

These are still expected, but I didn't expect my mother to call and ask, "Son, read the newspaper that the company you opened was acquired by a company in the United States?" ”

"You know all this? It's not an acquisition, it's a sale to an American company, but it's a listed company, and it still needs approval before it can be finalized. ”

"The newspapers I ordered at home are talking about this today, and when I look at the name of this company, it is a little familiar. If you look closely, you will find your name in it. ”

"It's not finalized yet, so I didn't tell my family." Chen Wenhao explained, he didn't dare to mention how much money he sold, for the ordinary well-off families in the city, hundreds of millions of dollars are just numbers that appear in the news, and he is afraid that he will scare his mother when he says it. But my mother has never paid much attention to money, just enough to eat, and I didn't ask much. I heard that he was going on a business trip for a few days, but he was babbling a lot of things.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Wenhao couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's just the beginning, but my mother, who can't even play on the computer, knows it, and when Facebook officially makes an announcement, I don't know what the excitement will become.

At this moment, the executive suite of a five-star hotel in Jianghai City is crowded. The living room of more than 40 square meters was crammed to the brim.

If there are reporters from the IT media present, it will be a big surprise. YouTube、Twitter、Myspace、NetFilx…… These important companies in the social and video fields in Europe, the United States and even the world have at least one executive vice president and above. These executives, who sneeze in the industry and are in the news, are arguing around a conference table. The entourage around them were all sitting upright with serious faces.

"Reliable information from Wall Street that Facebook and the Chinese company have reached an exclusive contract for two years."

"I've received a similar message. Because there is no change of shareholding, the SEC has no objection and will pass the review soon. ”

"We contacted the owner of the Chinese company, who showed no interest in the temptation to make further contact, and said we were 'one step late.'"

"We were indeed a step too late, who would have thought that damn Mark would even see the new version of the software and make a move."

A man with gray hair, but in good spirits, raised a few pieces of paper in his hand, "This is my technical team's analysis report on the new version of the small card software yesterday, and I think you have something similar in your hands." It's unbelievable that a Chinese IT company has technology that is hard for us to match. Now I just want to ask, are we just huddled around and talking, and then watched Facebook eat our market share easily? ”

A company executive, seated at the head of the conference table, looked away from his laptop screen and said, "Just a minute ago, I was authorized by the company's board of directors to handle this incident with full authority. I would like to prudently propose that the companies represented here should form a mutual aid alliance to jointly develop and share artificial intelligence and machine translation, and share promotion resources within the alliance. Of course, at the right time, we can also cause a little trouble for that Harvard dropout. ”

"On behalf of the company, I agree to participate!"

"Agreed!"

"Participate!"
