New York JFK Airport

Ivana looked at Andy with reluctant eyes. Although Andy stayed for another day because of the mortgage loan, and the two of them spent a whole day in the hotel room, Ivana was still a little nervous when they parted. lost.

"Baby, it's alright, it's not how long we've been apart." Andy looked at Ivana and felt her reluctance, so he comforted her.

"I know, come back to Los Angeles, be good, and call me every day!" Ivana calmed down, a smile appeared on her beautiful face, and whispered to Andy coquettishly.

Andy smiled helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, "I promise! Didn't you put all your girlfriends into my negotiating team?"

"Heck, I hate it, obviously you insisted on emily participating in this negotiation..."

Before Ivana finished speaking, Andy hugged Ivana and kissed her. A group of people standing not far away looked at the two people who seemed to be in the center of the world speechlessly, kissing under the flashing lights.

After parting lips for a long time, Andy smiled, squinted his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to caress Ivana's ruddy cheek, and said softly, "I'm getting on the plane."

Ivana watched Andy take the lead, followed by 7 or 8 people, with an elegant smile on her pretty face, after all, she was surrounded by paparazzi, and she would not lose her composure in such a public place until Andy passed After passing the security check and walking into the airport corridor, he looked away.

Ivana's little secretary came over from the side, "Boss."

Glancing at the secretary, she took out the white-rimmed sunglasses in the windbreaker pocket and put them on, "Let's go back to the company."

This time flying to San Francisco, Andy did not choose to be an airline passenger plane, but rented a private jet. After all, there were quite a lot of people in their group, and they also included two Doberman pinschers.

As for the ocelot. . . Has completely become Ivana's follower, let alone talk about it.

A group of people boarded the private jet, sat down one by one, and fastened their seat belts. After confirming that they were correct, the plane began to move after a while, and it was obvious that the plane was flying off the ground. After the flight attendant broadcasted, Andy and the others explained Put on your seatbelts and do your work at a conference table on a private jet.

The flight attendant quickly served everyone a cup of coffee, and Andy looked around at the think tank members sitting opposite, all looking at him energetically.

"It's time to start." Andy nodded to Alvetrie.

Alvetrie took a folder from a person next to him, opened it, placed some A4 documents in front of Andy one by one, and began to explain. Others listened quietly, including Li Xiaoying.

The team led by Alvetrie has already got in touch with Xiao Mazi from Facebook, and has had several exchanges. Xiao Mazi still welcomes Andy, a writer with many names, who wants to invest in Facebook.

Of course, who made the negotiations between him and Yahoo reach a stalemate? Xiao Mazi wants to maintain Facebook’s independence and does not want to be merged into Yahoo. Xiao Mazi’s idea is very beautiful. Yahoo spent 1 billion to buy Facebook , Mark is the one who has the final say, unless Yahoo's brain is showing off.

Since the negotiation failed, Facebook, which is currently expanding its influence around the world, is in a state of no money to burn. The 25 million US dollars just received in January this year has already been spent in Europe, and now Andy automatically delivers it to the door Come on, it's another young and terribly new billionaire, Xiao Mazi naturally welcomes him very much.

However, from Andy's point of view, maybe Xiao Mazi cares more about Andy being an Internet layman, because in this way he doesn't have to worry about the new shareholders making trouble for him, and he can even completely trust Andy on his side and support him.

What Alvetrie showed Andy was the recent work results of their think tank, Facebook's detailed asset assessment, and estimated its approximate market value. to calculate the ratio. Xiao Mazi dared to shout out that Facebook's market value is 4 billion. Even though Andy thought that compared with a future, it was not very high, but after listening to the analysis of the think tank, he gave up his preparations to be taken advantage of.

"We think the market value of 1.9-2 billion is more reasonable, but after contacting Facebook's negotiators, they refused to accept our assessment of their market value, thinking that we completely underestimated the value of Facebook." Alvitley said in a light tone Slowly, in a soft voice, he stretched out his maintained fingers and pointed to a set of numbers on a document to explain to Andy.

"How much market value do they want to calculate? Or the original 4 billion?" Andy frowned slightly.

"3.5 billion, this is the last number they reported to us. However, this is just a reference number. After all, negotiations have only been carried out a few times. There is still a lot of room for compression. Although the Facebook model has great potential, However, it has not been profitable so far, which is its Achilles' heel." Alvitre quickly explained.

"Hehe, have you guys been in contact with Mark Zuckerberg?" Andy shook his head and laughed, and suddenly thought of Xiao Mazi and asked casually.

"No, it has always been their investment department that communicates. However, according to what we have heard from the negotiators, Mark Zuckerberg attaches great importance to our investment. It is not easy to come to Facebook. Last year In January and March, Facebook twice authorized the issuance of a large number of additional common shares. Mark Zuckerberg successfully diluted the share of Edward, one of his co-founders, to less than 10%, and at the same time kicked Edward out. After leaving Facebook, although the company is calm on the surface, everyone still has a lot of complaints about Mark Zuckerberg's scheming in private." Alvitre said with a hint of disgust for Xiao Mazi.

Well, of all the famous IT companies in the world, as the company grows and grows, it starts to tear itself from the inside. Basically, only one of the co-founders will be left as the boss, and the others will withdraw with shares. .

Andy has a clear understanding of Xiaomazi through watching the pirated version of "The Social Network". Swearing and bad temper are still very objective.

"Hehe, if that's the case, let's wait for a few days to come to the door. After all, Mark Zuckerberg is a bit burnt out now, we can't cause trouble for others, don't you think?"

Andy's words made everyone present laugh. After all, the villain who kicked his partner out of the company in a despicable and deceitful way will not be respected. The key person Edward also authorized his shareholder power to Xiao Mazi Without Edward's knowledge, Xiao Mazi and another co-founder who was about to be kicked out of Facebook by Xiao Mazi passed the authorization to increase the common stock.

If Edward hadn’t finally passed the law, his 10% shares would have been reduced to one-thousandth to three-thousandths due to the dilution of common shares. In the end, he won the lawsuit and got back 5% of Facebook shares.

Although Andy was also laughing, he was deeply wary of this little pockmark who hadn't met yet. Cold-blooded, greedy, and betrayal were all displayed in this talented little pockmark. Even though he was very successful later, but Still can't be liked.
