American Fortune Life

Mockingjay Games of San Francisco.

Andy was sitting on the boss chair, playing with the Nokia N96 in his hand, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, he threw the phone on the desk, narrowed his eyes slightly, and just about to touch his nose, his hand suddenly stopped in the air, cursing secretly With a sound, it was changed to touching the chin. Someone threatened to abandon the book because of touching his nose! terrible!

This is already the second day after he came to San Francisco. The negotiations between Alvetrie and Facebook have basically come to an end. However, the market value of Facebook has been at an impasse. People rolled up their sleeves and fought in the conference room, because even Li Xiaoying stood up and counted Facebook's many shortcomings. After all, her professional knowledge was even better, and she directly gave the Facebook negotiating delegation a critical blow.

Afterwards, they also asked Alvetrie about Li Xiaoying's situation, and seemed to want to invite her to join Facebook.

Andy could only wait patiently at the game company, but in the afternoon he received an unexpected call, well, it's not an accident, it's just that the other party took himself too seriously, the CEO of Summit Entertainment, Rob Freeman called him from New York, a week after the two had met.

Before he could speak, Andy told Rob with a smile that he had left New York and was now in San Francisco, and he would return to Los Angeles in a few days. If there is anything to do, you can go back to Los Angeles and talk about it. If you are in a hurry, you can talk to Carl first. , he is very busy now, and Andy hung up the phone without talking a few words, his attitude seemed very cold, it seemed that the last meeting and conversation had long been forgotten.

In New York, Rob Freeman hung up the phone with a sinking face, looked at Pierce, the founder of the summit sitting opposite him, and one of the big bosses, and said: "He is no longer in New York, let us go back to Talking in Los Angeles, it seems that because of our negligence, his attitude is very cold."

Pierce's face was a bit ugly, he coughed a few times, and said helplessly: "Before we came, we received a message that the Mockingjay Copyright Company seems to be in contact with the Big Six to bundle and sell the copyrights of two series of novels. It seems that this is not what we guessed." That, just to put pressure on us..."

The veins on Rob Freeman's forehead were throbbing, and he had already started cursing his mother in his heart. Why didn't anyone tell him this kind of news? It seems that he has too few people in Summit Entertainment. One, if he can't leave the company, he will become blind and deaf.

"Andy Smith asked us to contact Carl, the manager of the copyright company... To be honest, I don't want to talk to that fat man, I'm worried that I won't be able to control him and beat him up..." Rob Freeman's eyes twitched, the fat man When he snatched the copyright of "Twilight" face to face, he wanted to go up and give him a punch, not to mention that he was rushing to find him to be slaughtered. Famous, villain, bug, vampire, all the ugly words can be used on him.

Because he disassembled the copyright of all the stories in Andy Smith's "Dark Fairy Tales" series, yes, that's right, disassemble and sell!

Those jumping and cursing are people from Disney. They originally wanted to make a deal at once, but now they can only bid with other film companies one by one, and Xuele Publishing House has already started to promote the second volume of "Dark Fairy Tales" Yes, it will be available around Christmas.

Andy called Carl, and after telling him about the matter, he stopped worrying about it. Since he called again after so many days, it means that the people from Summit Entertainment have basically accepted Andy's proposal. Then let Karl do the next thing, and they won't kill them!

A day later, the negotiating parties still failed to reach an agreement on the market value, and Andy was a little impatient. In fact, Xiao Mazi was also a little irritable, because he really had no money to burn, so Xiao Mazi came forward and invited Andy to visit Facebook. company.

Andy gladly went.

Facebook's headquarters is located in the central peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area, and Andy and his party drove there in five or six black commercial vehicles.

While in the car, Andy asked Alvetrie about his impressions of Mark Zuckerberg. Al shook his head and smiled wryly with a constipated expression, as if he saw something unclean.

Thinking of Xiao Mazi's style review and the performance in the movie, one is wearing a casual hoodie, the hair is clean but unmanageable, the curly hair is soft and clinging to the scalp, a pair of big eyes are particularly bright, but they can pop out of the mouth Inappropriate swear words. Such a top-notch person is rare, especially his unique aesthetic. Well, his Chinese wife is still a girlfriend. Even if you look at it by yourself, it feels a bit low, but Xiao Mazi loves it to death.

Well, Andy didn't make things difficult for Al anymore. After all, Al was a little sufferer, and his boyfriend was also a tall, middle-aged, handsome guy. Seeing Xiao Pocky's slovenly appearance was indeed terribly uncomfortable.

The car drove into the Facebook campus and stopped under a five-six-story building. Joseph got out of the car first and opened the door for Andy. Andy was wearing a slim black suit, a clean white shirt with a dark blue stripe Although Andy is tall, the high-order clothes make him not look so thick.

When Andy got out of the car, he saw a young man surrounded by four or five people on the steps in front of the building, with a small brown curly hair clinging to his scalp, wearing a blue-black pullover lapel knit sweater, a slightly fat jeans, a pair of blue and black jigsaw puzzle white basketball shoes, and the person behind him is a suit and tie.

Seeing the young, tall and handsome Andy getting off the car, Xiao Mazi immediately knew that this person was Andy Smith, well, he could tell just by looking at the scene, so he led people down the steps, both of them were young People go first and meet each other soon.

"Hey, buddy, welcome to Facebook, I'm Mark Zuckerberg." Xiao Mazi greeted Andy Smith with a smile before he could speak.

Although Andy is not very familiar with Xiao Mazi, he has seen the movie after all. Even if there are parts of romance, Xiao Mazi likes to take the initiative. He is still very clear. Andy doesn't care, as long as it can bring him benefits, Even if Xiao Mazi stole all the limelight, he wouldn't mind.

"Hello, Mr. Zuckerberg, I'm Andy Smith." After introducing himself, Andy reached out and shook Xiao Mazi's hand.

Then, Xiao Mazi invited Andy to visit the company together. While walking, Andy found that Xiao Mazi was always half a body ahead of him consciously, and spoke very fast.

Walking into the Facebook company, the people in the company already know that the big boss of the group of people who have been negotiating with them these days has come, but they still have to do what they should do. Obviously these IT guys are not interested in these things.

Xiao Mazi and Andy walked side by side, with happy smiles on their faces. Xiao Mazi introduced all the office areas they passed along the way, very enthusiastically, and Andy asked a few words from time to time, and they had a good chat.

The staff who passed by just saw that their boss and investors got along well. Of course, this may be Xiao Mazi's intention. Andy didn't care about Xiao Mazi's tricks. After one of the partners Edward kicked out of Facebook, his prestige in the company has been greatly damaged. If he can help Xiao Mazi establish some prestige, Andy would not mind helping him, after all, he has Xiao Mazi's Facebook talent bring him great benefits.

Xiao Mazi originally thought that as a newly promoted young rich man, he had no interest in the work and environment of the boring IT company, and would soon become impatient, but seeing Andy Smith listened carefully to his introduction along the way , showing a thoughtful expression from time to time, not pretending to be interested at all, but really full of curiosity about everything about Facebook.

Xiao Mazi's speech and reaction speed are very fast, and his logical thinking is a bit jumpy, but every time Andy can keep up with his rhythm, and even respond to the point, so Xiao Mazi has a good time chatting, and sometimes Andy Xiao Mazi was perfunctory at the beginning for some small suggestions, but the disdain in his tone could still be heard. He just regarded Andy as a layman, even though Andy was speaking as a user before he opened his mouth. From the point of view, he expressed his own experience and feelings, but Andy still intentionally mixed in some specious things that he had already prepared to use to deal with Xiao Mazi's creativity and functions.

Although, in Xiao Mazi's view, some of them can be repeated with the ideas that the company is preparing and has already begun to apply, there are still a few that he and the people in the company have never thought in that direction.

"Andy, these few ideas of yours are really good. No wonder you can become a billionaire with your creativity. It's really great!" Mark stopped calling Mr. Smith and called Andy directly.

Andy had a modest smile on the surface, but he couldn't help curling his lips in his heart. What he said just now were some variants of Nima's previous domestic imitation and foreign ideas, but now he said it is a very awesome idea, okay? , which is now Andy's original.

"Hehe, I have written down the complete idea of ​​these ideas, and they are all ready. They are in the hands of my team's lawyers. As long as Mark is willing to pay a little bit of benefits, I don't think those documents will let you down!" Andy said. With a little joking joke.

Andy doesn't believe in Xiao Mazi's morality. A large part of Facebook's company's ideas are copied from others, and they were their investors at the time. Xiao Mazi can copy without pressure. Tell him that he has already protected his creativity, and as soon as Andy leaves, Xiao Mazi can immediately write code and apply it to Facebook.
