Giant of the times
Chapter 459 Fighting and Defending the Country (Third Update)
At noon the next day, Paul, the executive director of Sequoia Capital, came to Stanford University.
Soon, he found the office address of Facebook.
When he was about to enter the small building, the door suddenly opened and a man and a woman came out. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. Paul was stunned immediately. He was stunned not because of how handsome and beautiful the two of them were, but because Paul knew this man and woman!
Damn it, the son of the world’s richest man, Chronos Li, is with the daughter of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. That’s not the point. The point is, why are they here? Could it be? ? ?
Paul suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He vaguely remembered the woman's voice when Facebook answered the phone...
"Sir? What's wrong with you?" William asked.
"I am Paul, the executive director of Sequoia Capital. I came to talk to the founder of Facebook and plan to invest in the Facebook website." Paul knew that there was no hope of investing in Facebook, but he still said it bravely. What if the other party agreed? What if the two of them weren't the founders of Facebook?
William smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Paul! Thank you very much and Sequoia Capital for your support of Facebook. However, I am really sorry. Facebook currently has sufficient funds and does not need investment. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you. I am William Lee, founder and CEO of Facebook, just call me William. This is mine..." William paused, glanced at Tina Gates, and then said: "The Facebook website COO Tina Gates!”
After speaking, William looked at Paul and asked, "Mr. Paul should know our identities, right?"
Paul smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, of course I know..."
Tina Gates is very low-key. Paul also met her once at a high-society banquet, otherwise he would not know Tina Gates's identity.
As for William... well, as the only male heir to a super business empire, the world's media is paying attention to him, and it is difficult for Paul not to know.
William said: "Mr. Paul, I'm sorry to make your trip in vain. Seeing that it's noon, let's treat you to lunch."
Paul thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, thank you very much!"
The three of them then arrived at a high-end hotel inside Stanford University.
Soon, the lunch was over.
Paul said goodbye and was about to leave, when William suddenly stopped him: "Mr. Paul, Facebook will probably hold Series A financing in June. If Sequoia Capital is interested, they can come and compete."
I thought it was all over, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a twist! !
Paul was immediately overjoyed!
William smiled and said: "However, Mr. Paul, you have to be mentally prepared. The shares sold by Facebook are limited. At that time, other venture capital companies will definitely come to compete with you. It is impossible to just take away 5 million US dollars." Appears 25% of the time!”
"Understood! We at Sequoia Capital will definitely come with the utmost sincerity!!!" Paul said with confidence, thinking to himself, if I had known that Facebook belonged to your family before, how could I have been so stupid? How could I have offered 500? Ten thousand US dollars... Even if it only takes 25% of the shares for 100 million US dollars, Sequoia Capital is very willing!
Paul went away filled with joy.
William and Tina Gates are back at work.
"Why did you suddenly agree to accept investment from a venture capital company?" Tina asked.
William said: "I have some different ideas from my father. He likes to go it alone in everything he does and likes to monopolize. But in this way, although he makes a lot of money, he also makes a lot of enemies. Now, the Li family's business empire seems to be It's huge, but it actually contains a huge crisis. At this moment, I don't know how many people in the world are eyeing our Li family, hoping that we will fall."
William said with emotion: "Although it is difficult to conquer a country, it is not easy to defend it. I think some interests can be divided to unite more people and form an indestructible alliance!"
Tina Gates' eyes lit up and she curled her lips and said, "Oh, I never thought you would have this kind of knowledge!"
"Damn, you dare to underestimate me!" William was depressed, then rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, you, the chairman's secretary, don't look like a secretary at all!"
"Why is it different? Don't I have the administrative staff to assist you in handling various matters?" Tina Gates said unconvinced.
"Have you never read TV or novels? What else should a secretary do for the boss? Do you want me to remind you that if a secretary has something to do, then..."
When Tina Gates heard this, she was stunned for a few seconds. Then she thought of something, her face suddenly turned red, and she raised her jade hand as a gesture of hitting. William laughed and ran away immediately, with Tina chasing after him angrily.
If Bill Gates's daughter was molested by William so much, he would probably send a kitchen knife...
A few days later, on February 26, Weibo Company held a product launch conference, and the Weibo website will be officially launched.
"Weibo was designed by my dad himself. It was originally developed together with the Facebook project, so this Weibo must be very complicated. Tonight, my dad will also attend the press conference. You should come too."
"I won't go..." Tina Gates replied weakly.
"Weibo is also a social networking website and is a competitor to Facebook. We are going this time to understand this competitor! So, as a company executive, you must go!" William said seriously and confidently.
Tina Gates was speechless, unable to refuse, so she had no choice but to go.
But when I think back, I’m just a shitty competitor. Facebook and Weibo are both yours! !
February 28th, 8 o'clock in the evening, Four Seasons Hotel.
William took Tina Gates to meet Li Zetian first.
"Hello, Uncle Li!" Tina Gates was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. She had a professional look as an urban white-collar woman. She was tall and stood with William, just half a head shorter than him. They were a perfect match.
"Well, okay, okay," Li Zetian carefully considered Tina Gates and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Tina has become more and more beautiful, and she has become a beauty from a little girl! I heard that you are working at Facebook recently. , Did this brat William bully you? Just tell me and I will help you teach him a lesson!"
"Yes!" Tina Gates said, then glared at William proudly, then looked at Li Zetian and continued, "He always bullies me, and makes me his secretary, telling me to do this and that..."
Li Zetian looked at William and reprimanded: "It's your blessing that Tina came to help you. You really treat others as coolies. Tina, starting from tomorrow, if William bullies you again, you can call me. See if I don’t teach him a lesson!”
"Thank you uncle!!" Tina responded obediently.
At this moment, William drooped his head and thought, if he had known better, he would not have brought Tina here. He would have shot himself in the foot. Tina has received the "Sword of Shang Fang" given by her father, and she will not be able to tell who will bully whom in the future. Woolen cloth……
