Nirvana of Rebirth

Vol 6 Chapter 197: Dialogue (below)

The world is changing fast.

The "West-East Gas Pipeline" project, which has been raging in China, has been officially put into commercial operation. The high-quality natural gas in the west has been ignited in Shanghai, and the Yangtze River Delta is striding into a new era of clean energy. The Shanghai Baihe sub-transmission point is the last station of the West-East Gas Pipeline and the station where Shanghai receives natural gas. It will be responsible for supplying electricity to the entire city of Shanghai.

The nationwide implementation of the second-generation ID card issuance and replacement for Chinese citizens, and major cities across the country are successively launching pilot projects. The pilot batches in Shanghai were launched in Jiading District and Chongming County, and the other regions officially began to change in the second half of the year. The new generation of i-card-like ID cards have made many people feel novel. The first-generation ID cards like those plastic-encapsulated cards in the past are like tapes from a tape recorder, and black wooden pencils with eraser heads are being used for many years. Fade out of people's sight. Fastest update of novel chapters

The red line area of ​​the Shanghai World Expo in 2010 has been determined. This red line area starts from Nanpu Bridge in the east, to Pudong South Road in the south, and borders the Huangpu River in the northwest, with a total area of ​​5.53 square kilometers. Every inch of the land is scattered all over the year, making politicians and economists dreamlikely intoxicated.

The first session of the United Nations ESCAP was held in Shanghai. The theme of the meeting was "Strengthening cooperation in regional exhibitions, challenges in the era of globalization". In short, the discussion was about 62 members and associate members of ESCAP, relevant international organizations and non-political organizations. In this era of rapid change, how to rank the giants in their own interests. "Fiction" novel chapters are updated fastest

In May, when the new road safety regulations were implemented, most pedestrians and vehicles were “unknown” to the new regulations. Shanghai City handled a total of illegal activities based on incomplete statistics that day. Among them, the punishment on the spot started recently.

In the same month, Wu Chuanji, who is in charge of the Ministry of Information Industry, was no longer able to adhere to the promise to foreign shareholders two years ago that the overseas capital market will not only charge fees. Shanghai Linktone officially began to issue accounts, which completely broke through the Ministry of Information Industry’s “prohibition of staying in Beijing, "Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou Express Link Business" policy restrictions broke the "duopoly" competition pattern and announced the arrival of the historical period of "one-way charging". Six years later, Lingtong, who completed its transitional task, was unstoppable withdrawing from the market under 3g. Like a pager, it entered the history of changing times.

"The world is changing fast, and it is bound to become more and more transparent."

When Mark Zuckerberg said this, the Seventh Shanghai International Film Festival was slowly kicking off on the banks of the Huangpu River. Walking on the red carpet are Zhang Guoli, who starred in "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" this year, Liang Jiahui from "Ambush on Ten Sides", and Zeng Zhiwei from "Infernal Affairs" and so on.

The fireworks flew to the sky, exploding pieces of dark blue or dark purple sparks, reflecting in the mirror-like water outside the deck where everyone was. The ripples of the water wave dang dang, as if the real world was mirrored.

After arriving in Shanghai, Mark Zuckerberg stayed at the Regal International East Asia Hotel near Xujiahui.

I originally planned to bring dozens of senior executives from Facebook China to the Lakeside Hotel in Huangcheng Barrier Lake, Xichuan Province, or to have a meeting in Hunan, but I was just meeting the arrival of Mark Zuckerberg, the highest-level president of the United States. It's time to host this year's Facebook Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting was set at the Regal International East Asia Hotel. There were a total of 150 people in the company. Most of them were seeing Mark Zuckerberg for the first time or seeing Mark Zuckerberg from a distance. The day before his arrival, the entire Facebook company went up and down. All are in a state of tension and excitement.

At the annual meeting, he also gave a speech, and told the staff up and down about his and Su Can’s impulse to create a Facebook face in high school, always amazed and envied.

When most people first saw Su Can when they joined Facebook, they thought that Facebook is young enough, but there are still such young employees? Later, I saw him walking into the e-office, but the sister at the front desk didn't stop him, thinking it was Qiao Shuxin's nephew or some close relative. Seeing Qiao Shuxin, who is always a little dignified on weekdays, walked out of the e-office and had discussions with him, it was not like someone or relatives who came to chat with him.

After that, everyone will be surprised to shut their mouths from the fact that they are knocking on the sidelines.

The entrepreneurial history heard from Mark Zuckerberg, the unrealistic and even wild ideas under the exotic sky, has now gone out of that American high school and moved to China, and it has become a reality. They became the foremost kings of the social empire in the world. As they declared in the room with American big boy sneakers and high school pinecone and chessboard, they wanted it.

That year Mark Zuckerberg was still a son who was determined to enter the Harvard dental family, and Su Can was still a high school student who could not see the future. The vicissitudes of life that have repeatedly appeared in the movies and talks are truly alive in reality.

In the end, Zach concluded with a sentence at the annual meeting, "You have missed a country of 1.2 billion people. Why are you talking about conquering the world?" All the people on Facebook applauded.

Many people were emotionally excited by his remarks. Perhaps because of hearing his remarks today, not only will they have new views on the young president who always appears in the company, they may also have some enlightenment and revelation. Changes in outlook on life. Some people commented that this American president is very imperial, and he is very strong in conquering yù and xìng. Some people will objectively think that Zach is idealistic, but it is idealism that can often succeed in this world.

After the annual meeting, people were directly drawn to the Huangpu River, and the luxurious cruise ship Shanghai Feng Cai, which had received state guests, was packaged on Facebook, and all the staff were on a night tour of the Huangpu River for a self-service cocktail party.

After the annual meeting, Liu Changhui also specifically told Su Can that Shanghai Mayor Wang Quan would meet with Zac, and I am afraid that in the next few days, he will fight with political parties.

During Zach's entire journey, he was highly confidential. Because of the social problems faced by Facebook in the United States, many countries in the world are discussing how to restrict access to Facebook, or ban it completely at home. At present, the situation of Facebook Chinese in the domestic high-level discussions is not very optimistic. The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Information Industry, the Press and Publication Department and other relevant ministries have all made relevant appeals. The most important thing for Facebook Chinese is to keep a low profile. The frequent contact with the United States at that time is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Su Can can’t guarantee that Zac’s information about China’s visit will be detected by those keen media, but at least the itinerary is kept low-key. Even if there is scope, it will not cause any surprises, so the final reception will be held. Moved to the Huangpu River.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the light and fire of the city seem to penetrate the clouds.

On the bottom of the deck, Su Can, Tang Wu, Zach, Facebook’s financial director Kate, Qiao Shuxin, Mu Guotao, etc., these Facebook Chinese carriages all sat leaning on the railings.

"We need money very much. The lower valuation was a mistake. In that case, more investors would be willing to buy our stocks, and Facebook can also raise a lot of money." Zach took a sip of wine and a glass of wine. The liquor in the room is shining brightly under the night view of the city and fireworks.

Many high-level Facebook Chinese officials at the scene looked at each other. They knew what Zach said about rejecting lower valuations. That was the shocking news of this year, which made them feel a little frightened for a while.

At the beginning of the year, the Yahoo executive team in Sunnyvale saw the prosperity of the social network, and they didn’t even have a place. In a year, they had contact with Mark Zuckerberg more than once, and finally Yahoo’s executive The team agreed that they should buy Facebook. Yahoo’s e Semel set out to contact Zach and soon showed his willingness to buy Facebook for $2 billion. This acquisition plan from Yahoo Hengcha immediately led to a fierce controversy on the American Facebook board of directors.

Jim, a member of the board of directors, representing Axel, said that this might be an opportunity to make a fortune. In the terminology of venture capital, this is an excellent opportunity for them to “exit”. They invested 63 million U.S. dollars last year, and in less than ten months, they may have received five times the return on investment.

At the board meeting held during that time, there were two long-term disputes. Most of the older employees and younger employees existed. At that time, Fan Tana and Kohler, both of Facebook’s six wagons, wanted to sell the company. And Dustin was on Zach's side. The voices of the different camps of shareholders and employees are a little bit antagonistic.

However, on the five-person board of directors, because Su Can's exercise power is granted to Zac, plus Dustin, he actually controls the three seats on the board. However, there are two votes for himself, which is somewhat of a powerful and iron fist, which is a loss of prestige.

Jim and Donald each have a seat. Jim’s position on selling the company is very firm. Zach hopes to reconcile this contradiction. The final key lies in Donald. He is older and tends to sell the company, but he prefers a respectful stance, so in the end In the vote, he expressed his support for Mark Zuckerberg, so the Yahoo acquisition case ended in failure.

However, Facebook took this acquisition and threw Facebook's valuation to about $4 billion.

If the problems that affect the world are not born, those new revolutions have not been carried out all over the world under the emergence and promotion of Facebook, the tragedies of the father's killing of nv'er, the ugly public opinion that promotes people have not appeared, this valuation of Facebook , Will only increase the attractiveness and influence of Facebook, and will gain greater popularity in Silicon Valley. But those things happened.

It is reported that some members of the U.S. Congress proposed to close the U.S. Facebook page this year and not allow it to open it again until they have eliminated public affairs and the possibility of harm.

Faced with this kind of public opinion, the previous high valuation of Facebook has caused considerable trouble. Facebook needs money, but investors who can provide this money will weigh the current situation and consider whether it is worth investing money on Facebook. The capitalists in Silicon Valley and Wall Street are snobbery and can compete to pursue them when they are popular, but once faced with a crisis, the **** and indifferent nature of the capital circle will be fully revealed.

Su Can shook the cup and asked, "What does it feel like to reject Yahoo's acquisition?"

Zach said frankly, "It's very contradictory. I am not a saint. As long as I nod and agree, two billion dollars may go to my account. You know, if we didn't create Facebook, I might not earn this in my life. Real money. This is two billion dollars."

He paused, seeming to recall the thrilling scene at the time, "This is a lot of money, which will really change the lives of many people around me and those who work for me. I can see their desire, those from Stanford University College students who come here, those from Harvard, those engineers from Silicon Valley who work for Facebook, they may have been waiting for this moment for the rest of their lives. They can spend the rest of their lives with their wives and children, go to Hawaii for vacation, and go skiing in Switzerland. And all of this A happy life is all between my thoughts. Frankly speaking, I was under a lot of pressure at the time and slept all night. Later I thought, compared with money, we have too many opportunities to change the world. I don’t I feel that accepting this money is fair to everyone."

"You have begun to become the manager who can really dominate the giant Facebook." Su Can nodded, feeling a lot. The technical otaku boy with freckles finally grew up and began to walk towards his king. .

"But we always need money." Zack said, "Facebook has to pay the salaries of its employees and maintain the servers in the new data center. Facebook has only two data centers located in the United States. Users all over the world see from Facebook. Information has to be transmitted from there, and it takes a long time to load Facebook pages in remote places. Therefore, in order to adapt to the global growth, several expensive additional server groups have to be established outside the United States. Business structure foundations are also required. To follow up the construction, we set up an international headquarters in Dublin, and set up sales offices in London, Paris, Stockholm and Sydney, and more will be added in the future. I still don’t know how to solve the problem of money.”

When you really achieve that position, you will understand the huge difficulties. Su Can’s Facebook Chinese is currently unable to help American Facebook. American Facebook consumes too much money. Relatively speaking, the profitability of Facebook Chinese is only impressive on the current thin soil of the Internet in China. However, if you are uncomfortable, If you are able to give the American Facebook financial resources and internal resources, you will do it yourself, just like attracting stars.

So in the face of Zac’s dilemma, Su Can was unable to make suggestions for the distant American facial makeup. After all, he grew up in China. He studied at Nantah University and exhibited in Shanghai, not Stanford, not Palo Alto, and to the United States. There are too many internal operations of Facebook that I don’t understand. Su Can’s operation of Facebook Chinese in China may work with the support of a team such as Qiao Shuxin.

I had to pat him on the shoulder~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Facing the sea breeze coming from the Huangpu River, he said, "There will always be a way."

Zach nodded, "Yes, I understand that I just want to relax when I come to China."

Zach only came to China to resolve. The four-carriage resignation of Facebook, the current public opinion and political dilemma, all made him feel bored in that land.

"Have I told you that this year, in the U.S. Congress, many congressmen and military officials rushed to rectify and hold a hearing on Facebook, and there were even calls for Facebook to shut down." Side by side with Su Can Stand together, Zach said. His curls were blown by the wind, and the two of them stood on the most luxurious cruise ship on the Huangpu River, braving the wind.

Su Can nodded, "I know this."

"Then do you know," Zach took a sip of Sprite in his hand and turned his head. Lan Sè's eyes looked at Su Can deeply. "The most powerful force in these congressmen’s proposals is that they constitute the nation’s college students and even many officials and scholars. In our Facebook equity structure of these core strategic human resources, you, who are not of Chinese descent, or even have no connection with the United States, have too much equity."
