Super Boy Reborn

He knew Sean Parker because he had heard of the young geniuses in Silicon Valley around him and had enough knowledge of the several companies he had built. He believed that the other party's vision would be better understood in this team.

Situation.

Because he is not the founder, although he joined the team very early, Sean Parker has very few shares in his hands. He must contribute to the company. So finding a segment investor who is willing to invest in this way is also considered a

It's a lot of credit. That's why Scampberg contacted Mark Zuckerberg through Sean Parker. They had already talked and familiar with this financing plan before. Sean Parker also promised that he would try his best to convince him.

Zuckerberg, so Scampberger held this banquet so confidently.

Friendbook's financing plan is now attracting much attention in Silicon Valley, California, and even in the United States. He also feels that he can take this opportunity to release the news. He has already and Sean

Parker had some discussions on the price, and he believed that the price he gave was relatively reasonable.

Although the site has not reached the so-called 800 million market value, it is normal for the venture capital field to be popular but not popular. Those market values ​​are all false. Someone is willing to bid and give it to 80.

So what about Yi?

But the appearance of the master at this time somewhat disrupted Scampberg's original plan. He looked at Sean Parker, wondering in his heart that this means that something should be done over again?

Sean Parker did not respond to Scampberg's expression. The confusion on his face made Scampberg understand that he did not know what happened today. At this time, Josh's face looked a little excited, but everyone

He didn't speak in silence.

"Then... let's talk later." Scampberger paused and said with some regret.

After the dinner, in the living room, several people sat on the sofa together. Scanberg took a cigar and lit it for himself. Xia Ruxuan was a little strange that these American bigwigs seemed to like this cigar with a strong taste even more.

Better than ordinary cigarettes.

This was a strange atmosphere, and Josh naturally did not have the qualification to appear here. After more than an hour of analyzing the prospects and business situation of the current friendbook, Scampberger even took it out.

A series of analysis and opinions of Wall Street elites support his view that the site is worth only $400 million at most.

Then he immediately threw a bombshell, "But I am willing to pay 50 million US dollars to acquire 10% of the shares. But... I have to have a seat on the board." This is more than he and Shawn before

Parker also made some concessions in the price he discussed, and he believed it was an attractive price, and even he still regretted it at the moment he said it.

However, this is how it is to do venture capital. You have to have the courage to invest to get enough rewards. He deeply remembers this law, so he can reach the current position. Although 50 million is a lot, he is willing to bet on this site.

prospects.

This price is very attractive. There are not many people who are willing to pay this price, and it can be said that there are even fewer people.

Sean Parker raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Ruxuan, nodded slightly, and even Zuckerberg couldn't help but shake it. Although the outside world's valuation kept telling them that the station was worth 800 million, even Zach

Berg himself couldn't believe it because the profits created by the station at this time were only 30 million US dollars.

After all, I have already talked seriously with Xia Ruxuan before, and financing with a market value of 500 million is also an acceptable thing... As for the issue of seats on the board of directors, there is nothing more. Friendbook's board of directors has set up a total of five seats.

Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg firmly controlled three of them at this time, and even if they added one, there would be no problem.

The most important thing is that the monthly server expenditure of the site is now a big project, especially after the picture function is activated, all the servers originally prepared after six months are exhausted. This is why Zuckerberg is like this.

I can't wait to enter a fund. If I miss this winter, after Christmas, when the company's funds are really tight, it will be a troublesome to talk to others about this matter, so at this time

Even Zuckerberg looked at the meaning expressed by Xia Ruxuan with some expectations, and this plan is worth referring to.

Knowing that Scampberg has finally understood that even if he had negotiated with Zuckerberg Sean Parker before, it would be useless. The situation is clear at this time. This young man from the East is the real company.

The leader of the army. A decision must be made before it can be made truly. Time becomes a little nervous at this time, and the cigar held on Scampberg's mouth is burning little by little, which is enough to show

It's getting shorter.

After a while, Xia Ruxuan suddenly raised his head and looked at him, "Thirty million." Just when everyone was wondering why he offered a price lower than before, he suddenly added, "Five percent."

Shares, I can give you one seat on the board, but I only sell five percent of the shares, which is my bottom line.”

"Haha." Scampberg laughed furiously. At this moment, he really felt that this young man was too arrogant. He already had some smell of not knowing the height of the sky and the earth. He narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and it was a little cold.

He smiled coldly, "Yes, you have the courage...really. I doubt what you have to prove that the money you want me to pay is worth it?"

"I think if you have that vision, you don't need to prove it." Xia Ruxuan said without hesitation.

"I can make concessions. I am willing to give out 60 million to get 10% of the shares. I will not regress in terms of share, and I have never had a precedent for regression. We can discuss the price again." Scanberg Station

Get up and report the last bottom line in his heart, "Young man, I hope you can think carefully. It is not a good habit to open a lion's mouth. I will not make any concessions. You can contact me within ten days at any time.

I completed this transaction, but after ten days, I'm sorry, I won't be able to leave any of my sons." He stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, with an indescribable spirit of a superior.

Xia Ruxuan smiled and quickly stood up to lead the entrance to the living room.

The three of them walked out of the Fairmont Hotel in silence. On this winter night, the snowy night in San Francisco seemed particularly cold.

San Francisco has a typical marine climate. The Pacific Ocean is very cold in the vicinity, so the cold sea breeze blows from here to the east. The whole city is cold and wet. The snow mixed with raindrops and falls on the face and makes it hurt.

.

The silence atmosphere seemed even colder. Zuckerberg tightened his coat and sniffed, "Summer, I actually think this is a price that can be considered."

"Yes." Sean Parker, who was standing by, looked at Xia Ruxuan, "If we don't raise funds, the funds on hand will be enough to support the last few months, and it will be better to maintain the status quo... let alone the so-called

Workplace. Xia, in our previous estimates, the valuation of $500 million to $600 million is already something worth considering. If I were you, I would agree to sign it. Before that, we

The highest price I received was 35 million US dollars and 10%, no one would pay tens of millions of dollars for just 5% of the shares, so they would have no say in the company. Xia, you really

It should be considered carefully.”

"I think we can even sell a price of 65 million to 70 million, and I believe Scampberg will be willing. Think about it, after getting this amount of money, we can boldly try more

, Why not do it? It only costs 5% of the money, which is fair based on the market value of 700 million." Zuckerberg turned his head and looked at Xia Ruxuan, who looked a little solemn in the night.

"Mark," Xia Ruxuan took a deep breath and looked at him calmly, "I think this is not a matter of how much money. I can even accept the sale of 5% for 25 million, but 100%.

Tenth, this has a great impact... If he could see the prospects of the company, he would not be obsessed with these shares. I think all this is not a matter of tens of millions... It won't take many years...

Our market value will begin to expand unlimitedly, even exceeding 100 billion yuan. By that time, will you still think that paying 5% more is an acceptable price?... If you wait until then, you will look back at these things.

Everything will be different. I promise."

Mark Zuckerberg looked at Xia Ruxuan in surprise. The market value of 100 billion made his heart feel as if something was hit hard. He sniffed and did not speak.

"There is a last banquet waiting for us in Manhattan. There is no need to be depressed. Let's go, let's go back to Palo Alto."

"Okay, no matter what, just like when we first met you trusted me for no reason... I believe you." Zuckerberg nodded vigorously, and his young face showed expectations.

, keep up with Xia Ruxuan quickly, "Will we become the second Microsoft?"

Sean Parker, who was behind him, looked at the two people in front of him in a silence, muttering silently, "Over 100 billion, Microsoft... Do you really think that venture capital companies across the United States are fools who want to support this

A company?"

However, he quickly accelerated his pace and followed. No matter what, he was still optimistic about the company...but this was the first time he had some ideological disputes with this big boss from the East.
