Super Boy Reborn

In fact, before this, Xia Ruxuan was already preparing for certain things, such as reviewing all the things he had to learn in his major from now until graduation. Then he quickly handed over to the school that he wanted to be ahead of time.

Graduation application.

This is nothing more than a fantasy thing, because no student can learn all the knowledge he has to learn in four years of college in one year. The school agreed to Xia Ruxuan's application, a series of exams and tests for his major one after another.

And come. However, in the subsequent intensive exams, what surprised the school was that Xia Ruxuan passed all the credits he should have accumulated were then captured in his hands. This result made many people stunned and incredible.

In other words, a few months after Xia Ruxuan entered the second year of Sunan University, Xia Ruxuan successfully completed all the subjects he needed to complete. Perhaps the school also captured some intriguing details about Xia Ruxuan from some places.

So no one gave him any embarrassment, and the result was that he could graduate with the current group of senior students.

When other sophomores officially began to adapt to college life, Xia Ruxuan had already begun to wait for his graduation ceremony.

In fact, this is nothing special for Xia Ruxuan. This is something he has prepared for a long time. Now it is just to put it into effect. So until the end of November, when the cold winter is gradually becoming more and more grand, Xia Ruxuan

Finally, I can completely withdraw from this short campus life.

Before, he decided to enter university but it was just a general trend, and the other was to make his start in college. Now he has successfully completed the start and there is no reason to waste time in school.

The more important point is that the attention of all parties in the school has made him feel a little troubled. He didn't plan to be so arrogant and could not advance his plan, not to mention that he already felt that he was far away from the United States.

A certain force that was about to move began to surge out gradually.

Mark Zuckerberg's email explains this exactly - at the end of July, Xia Ruxuan added an additional $100,000 in the company, which was the only remaining property on his hands, and Zach

Berger and Parker also worked together to increase the additional investment to $200,000, allowing the company to overcome the difficulty of the start of the fall semester.

However, the development of the situation is far from what Xia Ruxuan can imagine, that is, friendbook is so popular. One week after the start of the fall semester of 2004, the number of registered users of friendbook officially exceeded one million. This is just a matter of establishment

It was just a ten-month company, and Zuckerberg and Parker held a celebration banquet for this.

Xia Ruxuan also received the invitation letter for the party at that time, but the content was a bit strange. At the top was an introduction, from Malcolm Gladway's "Detonation Point": "Look at the world around you, only

It needs to be pushed gently in the right position and it can be tilted, tilted..." Later Zuckerberg said this reflects Sean Parker's view of the company, and in his opinion the success of the company is basically established

In fact, although Zuckerberg was surprised that the company members had exceeded one million so quickly. Later, Xia Ruxuan's reply only had a very simple sentence - please remember that this is just the beginning.

One million registered users are a great success for a company with less than ten people. In Silicon Valley, success is a gold snatcher. So since September, Zuckerberg has mentioned more and more

Investors kept calling to ask questions about site financing, but before that, Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg also maintained a rejection stance.

Of course, one million registered users doubled two months later, and became more than two million. At this time, friendbook had been opened to 370 universities, and this data won't take long to wait until the company gets enough

Financing can continue to soar immediately, which is a foregone conclusion.

So at the same time, things suddenly took a huge turn, because just a few days ago, the Los Angeles Times published a report about friendbook on its homepage, which made the investors even more excited. This is the mainstream media

The first major report on the friendbook company, the headline reads "a site that attracts college students across the United States", "smart, stupid, vulgar, no matter what you say, the site firmly grasps its users, most of them are almost the same every day

You have to log in to this site.”

So this time, a big guy suddenly appeared among a group of companies that smelled the smell of fishy smell. This was a name Zuckerberg had to solemnly mention to Xia Ruxuan - Sequoia Capital.

As the leader among venture capital companies with good performance, Sequoia Capital has invested in a large number of business giants - Apple, Cisco, Google, Paypal, Yahoo, etc. This is a time when the company urgently needs funds.

, Sequoia Capital can definitely be regarded as a trustworthy big guy.

In addition to Sequoia Capital, there are many other venture capital companies that attach great importance to investing in friendbooks. So no matter what, Xia Ruxuan, the director who owns the company's decision-making power, needs to be present for everything.

Xia Ruxuan did not rush to the United States as soon as possible, because he had some other abacus on this matter in his mind. It lasted until the end of November, and Xia Ruxuan began to receive a steady stream of company documents - in this paragraph

During the time, there were twelve venture capital companies, four large technology companies, and the Washington Times all actively engaged with Friendbook, hoping to reach some kind of agreement.

So far, the most expensive one is the Washington Times and the company itself is undoubtedly Sequoia Capital, but Sequoia Capital was first excluded in the friendlybook's internal video conference because in Silicon Valley

, The company is known for being very rigorous and unscrupulous to achieve its goals. Michael Moritz, a big name and master of Sequo Capital, was previously a member of the board of directors of Plaxo, which was where Sean Parker was previously located.

So Sean Parker knows him well. He believes that part of his previous kick-out by Plaxo was given by Michael Moritz. When he heard these inside stories, Xia Ruxuan said righteously, "Considering that they are treating Parker."

I will never accept the capital injection of Sequoia Capital for what Mr.

His words made Sean Parker's face move at the time. At least in Parker's opinion, he and Sequoia Capital can obviously not be compared on the same level. He is just a little person with a slight vision, and Sequoia Capital

It was a giant, but Xia Ruxuan would actually sternly refuse the company's investment because of him.

At this moment, Sean Parker, who had complained about the company's largest director who had never attended the company's construction, felt a little grateful to Xia Ruxuan. You must know that it would be difficult for Sequoia Capital to come in at this moment.

He has a foothold. After all, his foundation in this company is extremely limited. In addition to the first to exclude Sequoia Capital, Xia Ruxuan also spoke out to exclude several extremely famous companies because it requires them to talk to persuade each other.

Parker and Zuckerberg both agreed with Xia Ruxuan's choice, because the tacit understanding between the three is that they have absolute confidence in the company's future development.

But Xia Ruxuan knew that he had a vision in his previous life, and Zuckerberg and Parker were truly visionary managers.

Based on the above, there are only the last two groups of companies worth considering. They expressed their interest in buying the entire company for about $70 million, and it intends to merge. This is an unexpected message,

The episode also shows that the "crazy bee and wave butterfly" attracted by friendbook is too hungry, and the price given by Viacom made most investors sigh and leave.

Zuckerberg said at least one company Gu suggested to him that Xia Ruxuan could accept the price, which means that Xia Ruxuan earned 35 million US dollars a year. To be honest, when Xia Ruxuan heard the news in the first second

He was moved, and he had the decision-making power of the company. That is to say, if he nodded and convinced Zuckerberg, he could get nearly 300 million yuan. In a year, he made nearly 300 million yuan from scratch.

It's a number that can make people crazy.

However, thinking about the dazzling and brilliant future of Facebook, Xia Ruxuan gradually calmed down again. After a few seconds of looking at each other in the video, they smiled.

This made Xia Ruxuan suddenly realize that the few people were able to get together not for money, but for a career that worked together.

"Parker, I said Xia would never be moved." Zuckerberg smiled and talked with Sean Parker, and his face turned stern, "So Xia, let's continue to think about the Washington Post."

As for the price given, Mr. Graham of the Washington Post decided to inject $6 million in exchange for 10% of the company's shares, so that our company's market value will reach $60 million, with the wind

In terms of investment juncture, it is '54 million US dollars in advance', what do you think?"

"I think this is definitely worth considering." This time Parker seemed particularly serious.

Xia Ruxuan frowned. To be honest, this is indeed a price worth considering. In history, Facebook received the second financing of more than 10 million in April 2005, which is five months away from now.

If you get this fund now, the market value of friendbook will exceed $100 million in five months. However, at this time he has another plan, not to mention that he doesn't want to release the company's first financing so simply, because no matter what, it doesn't matter.

All of this means that his holdings in the company have been reduced to less than 50%.

"Mark, send me a copy of the terms and conditions sent to you by the Washington Post. Give me two days." After thinking for a while, Xia Ruxuan raised his head and spoke. At this moment, Zuckerberg suddenly noticed

To the brightness of this oriental man's eyes.

At this moment, Xia Ruxuan had a crazy enough thought in his mind.
