Chapter 260: Unexpected Joy

After initialing the handwritten agreement by Joanna, Lu Chong immediately handed over the folder in his hand to Zuckerberg, and Zuckerberg immediately flipped through Lu Chong's documents after making a phone call to notify his three roommates to come over to meet Lu Chong. ()

Zuckerberg was a very fast reader, and when his two roommates, Green, Chris, and Dustin, arrived at the café, Zuckerberg had just finished reading the pages of the document, his face full of excitement.

"GUYS, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS GENTLEMAN, LU CHONG FROM HUAGUO, HE IS ABOUT TO INVEST AT LEAST $700,000 TO US FOR THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF FACEBOOK!

Zuckerberg gets the investment, gets the crucial documents, and his young face is full of laughter, and he immediately wants to share the relationship with his two roommates.

He introduced his two roommates to Lu Chong, and after they got to know each other, Zuckerberg still couldn't hide his excitement, and said to Green and Dustin: "Guys, it's time to start a new journey, and I'm going to apply for a leave of absence from school." That's where we should be!"

Hearing the word Silicon Valley, Dustin and Chris's faces also swelled with excitement, and they shouted "Silicon Valley" after Zuckerberg, as if the name represented their beliefs.

In fact, Silicon Valley can indeed be regarded as a mecca for American high-tech entrepreneurs, and it is a place that has produced countless legends of success and wealth. 【】

Silicon Valley is a concentration of high-tech talents in the United States, and it is also a concentration of talents in the information industry in the United States; in Silicon Valley, there are more than 1 million scientific and technological personnel from all over the United States and all over the world, nearly 1,000 academicians of the American Academy of Sciences are serving in Silicon Valley, and more than 30 scientists have won the Nobel Prize.

Relying on some world-renowned universities such as Stanford, Berkeley and California Institute of Technology, which have strong scientific research strength, it is based on high-tech small and medium-sized companies, and has large companies such as Apple, Intel, HP, Cisco, Lucent, and Nvidia, integrating science, technology and production.

Every start-up technology company is proud to be in Silicon Valley, even the unruly Zuckerberg is not exempt, and he made the decision to suspend his studies immediately after receiving Lu Chong's investment, which can also be described as a very decisive person, you must know that Harvard University is the world's top university.

However, when Zuckerberg, Dustin, and Chris chanted Silicon Valley in unison, their other roommate, Green, had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Lu Chong found out about this for the first time, and couldn't help but smile on his face, in Zuckerberg's plan, Green will get 2% of the company's voting rights, if Green himself voluntarily refuses, of course he doesn't mind spending another $40,000 to receive 2% of his hands.

The excited Zuckerberg trio soon found out that something was wrong, Zuckerberg stretched out his hand and pushed Green and said, "Hey, man, get excited, don't you feel happy, Silicon Valley!"

Green pulled out a slight smile and said to Zuckerberg, "Man, congratulations......! You know, my dad was a college professor, and his biggest wish was for me to get a degree, and I don't think he would approve of me dropping out!"

"Green, are you crazy, this is our best chance, isn't college just about getting something, don't you put the cart before the horse!" Zuckerberg grabbed Green's shoulders and shook him with an unhappy face, as if trying to use this method to sober up his roommate.

BUT GREEN'S PERFORMANCE DISAPPOINTED HIM, HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID APOLOGETICALLY: "IN FACT, I EXPECTED THIS DAY A LONG TIME AGO, AND I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED IT TO MY FATHER, BUT THE DISAPPOINTED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE IS SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, SO I PROMISED HIM AT THAT TIME, I WILL NEVER DROP OUT OF SCHOOL, SORRY GUYS, I HOPE FACEBOOK CAN TAKE OFF IN YOUR HANDS, AFTER ALL, THERE IS ALSO A PIECE OF MY HARD WORK IN THIS!"

The originally lively atmosphere became a little depressing because of Green's sudden withdrawal, Lu Chong waited until the four of them calmed down before saying: "Mark, Green has also contributed a lot to the early development of the website, since he can't continue to struggle with us due to the current conditions, I think 40,000 US dollars will be a small compensation for his hard work!"

Zuckerberg sighed a little helplessly, and then said to Mark: "Green, I'm sorry, if you really decide to withdraw, it's unfair to others to continue to keep your shares, are you willing to accept Lu's conditions?"

IN FACT, AT THIS TIME, FACEBOOK IS STILL RUN BY A FEW PEOPLE, THERE IS NO CLEAR EQUITY DIVISION AT ALL, GREEN NEVER THOUGHT THAT HE COULD GET ANYTHING BECAUSE OF HIS PREVIOUS EFFORTS, THE 40,000 DOLLARS CAN BE REGARDED AS A SURPRISE FOR HIM, HOW COULD HE DISAGREE.

Lu Chong saw that Green nodded, and was willing to transfer the equity that might be worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars to him in the future, and immediately turned to Avril and said: "Avril, can you help me sign a check for $40,000 to Green, I think before Mark and them leave, Green should want to give them a decent send-off ceremony, we should fulfill this group of lovely young men!"

In fact, Lu Chong was really afraid that Green would be fooled by Zuckerberg and others afterwards, and decided to go to Silicon Valley with them.

Without the slightest hesitation, Avril immediately took out a checkbook from her pocket and wrote down the figure of $40,000, signed it, and handed it to Green.

Although the current Avril is not as popular as in later generations, she can still get 40,000 US dollars. And Lu Chong's "Wavin' Flag" has not diminished its momentum on Itunes, and now the total sales have already exceeded 100,000, and this revenue alone is enough to cover the 40,000 US dollars.

After signing the handwritten equity transfer agreement with Joanna again, Lu Chong cherished the two agreements into his bag and stood up.

"Mark, please give me a company account as soon as possible, I will have someone remit the first half of the five million US dollars, so that you can start the preliminary operation, as for Eduardo's side, I hope to get your news as soon as possible, it is not too early, we will leave first!"

It was already nearly ten o'clock in the evening American time, and on the other side of the world, it was still more than nine o'clock in the morning, and Lu Chong could just explain some things to Lu Shuang and them on the way back to New York.
