Chapter 9: Valuation
In the parking lot, the people in the limousine stepped down one after another, and a tall, strong black bodyguard opened the door, and then a young man wearing a gray T-shirt came out of it.
"Don't tell me it's Zuckerberg who got out of the car!"
"I'll swear by your little brother, it's definitely Zuckerberg."
"Oh my God, Xiao Zha suddenly came to Tsinghua? Why isn't there a bit of news? ”
The students in the school were all stunned when they saw it. Mark? Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and the world's top richest man, almost no one does not know Xiaozha's reputation for Tsinghua students. Zuckerberg was once known as Jack Ma of the United States. Even in China there are too many admirers of him.
"Hello!" Zuckerberg walked down the road, waving cordially to the students and greeting them in Chinese.
"Xiao Zha is waving to me! He's smiling at me! ”
"I'm getting a little short of breath!"
"Handsome!"
Zuckerberg speaks Chinese, although there are some voice changes, but the listener can understand, along the way, Xiaozha is a kind and approachable face, without the slightest super-rich frame.
Although the students were surprised by Zuckerberg's surprise visit, they did not rush up to take a group photo, ask for autographs and other fan actions, nor did they form a crowd of onlookers, everyone just stood there and watched in surprise, and then watched Xiaozha go away
After all, this is a well-known institution of higher learning in the country, and the students are very conscious and do not cause chaos. However, it exploded in the campus forum, and the homepage was basically full of news posts about Xiaozha's visit.
The news of Zuckerberg's sudden visit to Tsinghua University in Beijing instantly went viral on campus, and the whole university became extremely lively again after Jack Ma left.
The news of what happened in Tsinghua University soon spread outside the school, Zuckerberg came to China, and the reporters who heard the news have rushed to Tsinghua University, no way, Zuckerberg is not only young, but also super-rich, and the founder of a world giant company, such a celebrity with huge influence, suddenly came to China, which must have big news, this is the first thought of every reporter, you know, the news of Facebook's return to China has continued recently.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, why did you make a sudden visit? Anyway, you should also inform the school and be prepared. The school leader shook hands with him eagerly and said at the same time.
"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused to your school." Zuckerberg smiled and shook his hand, apologetically.
"No trouble! No hassle! Hehehe, Mr. Zuckerberg's Chinese surprised me. The school leader said with a smile.
"Really? Thank you so much for your affirmation. Zuckerberg smiled in surprise.
"Mr. Zuckerberg, please!" The school leader gestured.
Not long after Zuckerberg's sudden visit, the media released a text message as soon as they heard the news.
"The famous social networking giant, the founder of Facebook, Mark? Zuckerberg surprised Tsinghua University - "Sina Express"
"Mark? Zuckerberg appears in Beijing, and Facebook is about to return to China? ——"NetEase News"
"Xiaozha came to China, Facebook has secretly begun to deploy in Greater China? - "Sohu Express"
For a while, major media outlets reported on this briefing. The news of Zuckerberg's visit to China quickly spread on the Internet and abroad.
Xiaozha's sudden visit to China surprised many people, such an influential figure, their every move will be interpreted and paid attention to by the outside world, and even over-interpreted, obviously, such a giant to make such a move will never be a simple act.
In the school reception room, Zuckerberg and the school leaders were discussing, and foreigners really didn't like to beat around the bush, Xiaozha immediately said, "Sir." I heard that there is a start-up called XlouS in your school, but I wonder if you can tell me where this company is located? I can't thank you enough. ”
"Huh! XlouS? The school leaders were stunned, it turned out that Zuckerberg was visiting for a start-up?
“XlouS? Let me think. The school leader was silent for a moment, and soon a message appeared in his impression, he looked at Xiao Zha and said: "I remember, this company was just founded by a college student in our school, and a product launched by XlouS recently is quite popular in the school, what is it called?" Oh, by the way, it should be called instant online translation. ”
"Yes." Zuckerberg replied, "Can you tell me the contact information of the founder of XlouS?" ”
"Contact? No problem, I'll let him come right away. The school leader thought about it and said as it should be.
"No, no, no! You said that his company office address is at the school, and I would like to go and meet him in person. Zuckerberg said quickly.
The school leaders were very surprised when they heard this, and it was obvious that it was a great product for Zuckerberg to make this student work out of instant online translation to each other.
You know, Zuckerberg is a world celebrity, a social magnate, and a super-rich man.
It can't be helped, Zuckerberg was anxious after the first glance at the instant online translation, this is an app that can take Facebook a step further, and it is also an app that can pose a deadly threat to Facebook. He believed that his competitors must have the same idea as him, so how could he not be in a hurry? From the moment he learned about the app, Zuckerberg would not have peace of mind if it was not finalized.
Zuckerberg felt inappropriate in the way the school leaders called, and in order to respect the other party and express his sincerity, he decided to go to Ren Hong in person.
Not long after, Zuckerberg, accompanied by school leaders, walked to Building 003 of Beicao.
"Xiaozha, what are you going to do?" When students in the school saw this scene, they took out their mobile phones to record videos or take pictures.
At this moment, in the corridor of classroom 317, people from Sequoia Capital and IDG Technology Entrepreneurship Fund are hostile to each other, and the so-called peers are enemies.
Ren Hong met with the two sides again, but XlouS currently does not have a formal office address and reception room, and the meeting place can only be in the corridor this time, but fortunately, this teaching building has not been put into use, only they exist here, but the people present will not care about environmental issues. Obviously, Ren Hong is on top, and at the moment it is capital that is looking for him, not him looking for capital, which is very important and determines who is the dominant in the negotiations between the two sides.
"What is Mr. Ren's valuation of the company?" said the head of Sequoia Capital.
"35 billion!" Ren Hong said lightly, in room 317, Zhang Han and the others pricked up their ears, and when they heard 35 billion, everyone's heart was beating.
"Dollars!" Ren Hong emphasized.
"Brothers, 35 billion US dollars, do you hear that?" Chen Kai said excitedly.
"Shut up! Be quiet, it's not the first time I've heard it, and keep listening. Zhang Han said unhappily.
In the corridor, the person in charge of Sequoia Capital and Li Taosheng and others were slightly surprised when they heard 35 billion, but it was also reasonable, and it was impossible for them not to see the value in it. But the last dollar was said and they were stunned.
