When Evan Bell arrived on Jennifer Road, the moon was already sparse. He was like a firefighting captain. He rushed back from Dubai all the way. After transiting in New York, he rushed to Palo Alto, and then came to this single house without stopping. in front of the small villa.

I rang the bell at the door for a long time, but no one responded. Evan Bell looked left and right, walked to the backyard, and immediately saw the team resting in the yard. This is a triangular yard with a small pond. The ground of bluestone is very flat, and an oak tree is planted in it.

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg is like a pirate captain in "Pirates of the Caribbean". He is constantly waving his fencing, and his sword is constantly attacking Sean Parker who is standing in front of him. The thin tip of the sword rubbed past Sean Parker's head, and Sean Parker froze in place, his expression very awkward. And Dustin Moskovitz, who was next to him, looked pissed, and said ramble, "Mark, I told you, don't do this, don't use fencing to people!"

Mark Zuckerberg was unaffected, but replied, "You shout the same when I stab the wall."

Dustin Moskowitz immediately stood up like a little leopard, "You'll break things! I don't want to see a wall like a hornet's nest, that would give me nightmares at night!"

Although Dustin Moskovitz was chattering, Mark Zuckerberg was still attacking, and Sean Parker, who was standing opposite, was already sweating on his forehead, "Mark, if you don't want to talk about things now , we can talk for a while." In fact, they were discussing the company's affairs, but the irritable Mark Zuckerberg involuntarily picked up the fencing, and then he did not know how to get to this point.

"Evan!" Bill Olsen saw Evan Bell standing outside the low wall. At this time, there was only a trace of sunset left in the sky, and it was almost invisible, but there was a street light in the yard, and some things could still be seen. of.

Bill Olsen's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Evan Bell walked into the backyard from the side door and said with a smile, "I need a glass of water."

Mark Zuckerberg saw Evan Bell and came up eagerly, "Evan! We are now..." Evan Bell saw Mark Zuckerberg so gaffe for the first time, not only Anger, as well as anxiety and irritability, his tone fluctuated a lot more than usual.

Evan Bell shook his head, "Mark! I said, I need a glass of water."

Evan Bell's words just came out, and the yard was silent. Few people dared to challenge Mark Zuckerberg's straight temper, not even Sean Parker, let alone Mark Zuckerberg at this time. Kerberg was still rarely angry. Although the usual Mark Zuckerberg is straight, it is only straight, and there will not be too many emotional fluctuations. Now that Evan Bell is facing Mark Zuckerberg, everyone is a little stunned.

Mark Zuckerberg is a smart guy, and he knows that Evan Bell's words won't go in vain. After hearing Evan Bell's words, Mark Zuckerberg looked at Evan Bell's eyes and greeted him. Although Evan Bell's eyes were a little tired in the dim light, they were full of firmness and unquestionable confidence. firm.

Mark Zuckerberg calmed down in an instant. He suddenly found that because of the company's chores and because of Eduardo Savalin's freezing of bank funds, the calmness and stability he usually claimed had disappeared. He even played fencing towards Sean Parker's head... Mark Zuckerberg calmed down in an instant.

"Just got off the plane?" Mark Zuckerberg put away his fencing and replied calmly, and everyone else in the yard was dumbfounded.

Evan Bell also thinks this is normal, this is Mark Zuckerberg he is familiar with, "I know that you are a bunch of bachelors and don't help with dinner, so I came here after dinner at the airport."

The two of them walked into the house while talking, leaving other people in the yard looking at each other.

The situation in the room was pretty much what Evan Bell had envisioned, with computers, cables, modems, cameras stacked high on the dining table, and **** and everyday bottles, cans and cups crammed between them. Juice bottles, milk bottles, newspapers and waste paper are everywhere on the floor. This is exactly the model of the boys' dormitory, and if you look at Mark Zuckerberg in a t-shirt and pajama pants, you can imagine their life here.

"It's like negotiating with terrorists." After Mark Zuckerberg regained his composure, his tone returned to his usual rhythm, flat and fast.

Evan Bell sat down directly on the stack of programming books on the sofa and started drinking from a large iron mug. Mark Zuckerberg found his place in the scrap newspaper on the ground, and the two had a direct conversation. Listening to Mark Zuckerberg's description, Evan Bell knew how serious things were.

Eduardo-Savarin not only froze the bank accounts, but he himself drafted an operating agreement detailing the roles of all team members within the company. That's not the point, the point is that he doesn't let Mark Zuckerberg see the content unless Mark Zuckerberg is willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement -- a nondisclosure agreement that is not disclosed to his personal lawyer or others. Negotiations like this are really frustrating.

Mark Zuckerberg responded that he had personally drawn up a company operating document setting out what he thought would be appropriate terms of reference for both parties, but Eduardo Savalin refused to read the document.

The result became that while Sean Parker had to speed up the process of restructuring the company, Eduardo Savalin became an internal trouble and demanded negotiations, and on the other hand, because of the lack of funds, the development of "Facebook" was at any time. Facing a shutdown.

Now, Mark Zuckerberg has to use his savings to pay for all the rent at 819 Jennifer Road. And now it is necessary to continue to buy servers, this more important expense is no longer affordable for Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg had saved tens of thousands of dollars due to his previous summer vacation and spare time doing programming and website work. His parents also contributed a few thousand dollars, but it was still not enough. Mark Zuckerberg even put down The tuition fees for the semester have been taken out, but the loophole of the frozen funds still cannot be filled.

Within a week before and after, Mark Zuckerberg has paid 100,000 US dollars. If Evan Bell does not come, "Facebook" may be shut down next week, which can be said to be very critical.

"How many servers are there now?" Evan Bell noticed that "Facebook" developed faster than expected throughout the summer.

"Twenty-five." Mark Zuckerberg replied casually.

"After the new semester arrives, do you have an estimate for the growth rate of the website?" Evan Bell asked knowingly. He knew that after "Facebook" entered next year, it would completely become the most watched social networking site in the United States. But Mark Zuckerberg didn't know Evan Bell's mood, so he calmed down professionally and explained it.

Mark Zuckerberg believes that the growth of the website will show an explosive blowout when students return to school in the fall semester. Now the number of registrations has exceeded 300,000, and the whole team estimates that after the end of September, this number will reach 500,000, and it may even increase exponentially after entering October. In order to cope with the impending explosive growth, it is necessary to prepare the best and adequate amount of traffic on the server now.

Evan Bell pondered for a while, his brain was running fast, and then he asked, "How much money do you need now?" Boiled. Because they are very clear that Evan Bell's funds have eased, which means that "Facebook" will have no worries in the short-term development. After this period of time, after the financing funds arrive, the development of "Facebook" to get into orbit. No wonder everyone gathered around and was so excited.

"One hundred thousand dollars is enough for now, but it would be better if it could be more." Mark Zuckerberg was also polite and said directly to Evan Bell.

Evan Bell nodded, "Tomorrow I will transfer 150,000 to the company's bank account, whose name is the account now?"

Mark Zuckerberg hesitated a little, and seemed to be thinking, "Yours, create a new account with your name." Sean Parker, who was standing next to him, was stunned, his face not very good. But at this time, everyone was immersed in happiness, and no one noticed.

Evan Bell did not smile. He knew that the dilution of Eduardo Savalin's shares was inevitable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Because he did not participate in the process of the company's reorganization, but thought he was in control Lived the lifeline of funds to demand his own management rights; at the same time, because he did not advance and retreat with the team, no one supported his decision. However, as far as Evan Bell himself is concerned, it is impossible for him to join the team's activities. One is that he does not understand, and the other is that he has no time. His only contribution to the team is creativity and funds. How it will develop in the future is really uncertain.

However, Evan Bell did not refuse, nodded, and took control of the funds in his hands.

"After school starts, will you still go to school?" Evan Bell mentioned another important thing at this happy moment.

Mark Zuckerberg shook his head, "We originally thought we could go back to Cambridge to continue this business, but at the current rate of development, we must have no way to control the situation in the dormitory. Me and Bill and Dustin both Decided not to go back to school."

This childish genius with a childish face finally chose the same path as Bill Gates: dropping out of Harvard University.
