Facebook Headquarters, Menlo Park, California, USA.

"Sir, the time is almost up." A black man in a suit opened Zuckerberg's office door, pointed to his wrist, and said.

"Well, right away." Zuckerberg responded, and the black man nodded silently and closed the door to his office.

At this moment, there was a slightly fat white man in Zuckerberg's office, and as soon as the door was closed, he argued with him again.

"Zach, the board is very skeptical of your latest strategic changes for the company." He watched Zuckerberg sort out his own papers, and continued urgently: "At a time when the VR field is in full swing, Oculus shouldn't be sold, Zack!! ”

Zach turned to look at him and said calmly: "I should have sold Oculus five years ago, listen to Fredero, VR is not the future, VR has died violently, it's not its fault, the pace of the times is too fast, it's not the future." ”

"Not the future?" Fredro said: "Just because of the impact of the 'S-2'? From the beginning of 2015 to the present, Oculus has beaten HTC, defeated Samsung, defeated Microsoft, and became the industry leader, even though VR apocalypse theory is prevalent, but in fact, Oculus still accounts for 4.5% of the company's revenue until the last quarter. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about Oculus, but you have the latest strategic change that Facebook has made, do you know how many people in the company are against you?" Fredrow followed Zack's ass and said, "The company's business vertical expansion is the trend, Facebook is the world's giant, Google spun off and reorganized to establish Alphabet, expand countless businesses, unmanned driving, smart home, etc., this is the development of world-class giant companies, but you keep selling the popular companies that Facebook spent a lot of energy to acquire in the past, and now it is Oculus, is the next step is unmanned?" ”

"This plan has been in place for a long time." Zuckerberg responded.

Fredrow felt a toothache when he heard it, but he still tried his best to persuade him: "Listen to Zach, I admit that your previous decisions have been correct, especially with XlouS, but this time you are really wrong. Facebook shouldn't just focus on the social domain, now Facebook is the social hegemon, who can shake it? This strategic decision is wrong, it will lead Facebook into the abyss, and it will lead you into the abyss, do you want the Cisco couple to repeat the situation in you? ”

The Cisco couple incident is a textbook classic case in the Silicon Valley tech circle, and they were kicked out of the company they founded by the board of directors. Zuckerberg stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the other party, Fredro was stunned, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. Zach stared at him and said, "What do you mean?" The board is going to kick me out? ”

"You know, almost everybody is against your decision." Fredro replied motionlessly.

"Ha~!" Zuckerberg suddenly smiled, his gaze wandering aimlessly, and finally stared at the other party, "Tell the board of directors who pulled the company to the second largest market capitalization in the world, and tell them who made the value of the stock in their hands skyrocket?" Tell them who made them so much money? It's me! Mark. Zuckerberg! ”

"It's not like you, Zach." Fredro said dumbfounded: "You now look like a tyrant, a dictator who doesn't listen to persuasion." ”

"You and you all think Google Models are the future? Is that right? Zuckerberg suddenly retorted, letting go of what he was doing.

"That's right! That's the future. Fredro shrugged, nodded, and said.

Zuckerberg sneered when he heard this, "When you are daydreaming about the future, first look at the bloody facts in front of you." Look at the unbeatable Apple. ”

"What do you mean? I don't understand! Fredro didn't understand what he meant, Facebook was completely out of step with Apple.

"You understand it's not going to be annoying to stand here like a mosquito, man." Zuckerberg said. After a pause, he said: "As long as I take the helm of the company, I will never change the current established strategy." The board of directors is just a bunch of rats, and the Google model is the future of the world's giants? That's right, that's without XlouS. Hey! Alphabet continues to develop according to the current model, and sooner or later, it will face the behemoth of XlouS and compete directly with it. ”

Fredlow was incredulous, "What? How is it possible that the business between XlouS and Alphabet is not compatible at all? ”

Zuckerberg instantly asked, "Before the launch of the S-1, Apple would think of becoming a competitor to the XlouS?" Before the launch of Panorama Vision PV, IMAX would have thought of becoming a competitor to XlouS? Some time ago, before the launch of the MST platform, live-Nation would have thought that more than half of them would have died before they could fight? Do you want me to explain these to you in detail one by one? ”

Zuckerberg stared at each other motionlessly, at this moment Fredro was dumbfounded by a series of questions, Zuckerberg said: "The opponents competing with XlouS have all fallen, Apple, live-Nation and even two executives who were only poached are directly half-dead, they have one thing in common, they are all making products, peripherals, and hardware." He looked at Fredero, who had nothing to say, and asked, "In the face of XlouS, cooperation and competition, what choice do you think I should make?" ”

Zuckerberg turned around and said, "I don't want to be the laughing stock of the industry, you know?" Facebook monetization made XlouS, and in the end it was defeated by XlouS, I can't afford to lose this person, and Facebook can't take this risk. Do you understand? ”

"XlouS is going to enter the business related to Alphabet?" Fredro asked.

"I don't know what Ren Hong is interested in, but I know that he has never been interested in content, and the whole world knows that he is not interested in content." Zach looked back at him and said, "I don't need to know what he's interested in, I'm just following one point, I don't do what he's interested in, what he's not interested in is what I'm going to do." ”

"But we've gone to the extreme in the social realm! What the company needs is gain, and what the board needs is gain! Fredro said.

Extreme? Zuckerberg sneered in his heart, Ren Hong personally contacted him and told him that the project plan had made a breakthrough, Zuckerberg knew that the Internet was about to change, and it was extreme? All this has just begun, and he will certainly not tell Fredlow the real purpose of his trip to China, and the superficial meeting is just a cover for the world.

This trip to China was the biggest turning point since Facebook's founding, and no one understood him, and he couldn't tell them. That's why it gives people the perception of tyrants and dictators, but Zach doesn't care, time will tell.
