Time entered September, and Facebook's new office, located a few kilometers away from campus, was finally renovated.

Before the official relocation, Xia Jingxing called the royal photographer Kevin and asked him to take a group photo of all the employees in front of the old office.

Xia Jingxing, Yang Niu, and Little Dog stood at the front in work uniforms with Facebook Logo, and behind them stood nearly 40 employees who also wore Facebook T-shirts.

In front of the camera, everyone is smiling, and anyone would be happy to be able to work in a better office.

After the group photo was taken, employees and workers hired by the moving company started moving things.

Startups don’t have many items, and after a while, they are all emptied.

After the office was vacated, Xia Jingxing, Xiao Dog and Yang Niu re-entered the two offices in Building F and Building G of the incubation base. They only felt empty and a pile of white paper was scattered on the ground.

The office, which was full of people just a moment ago, felt a little desolate at this time.

The three of them didn't let go of a corner, swept the two offices one by one, and kept them in mind.

Everyone sighed with emotion. Here, there are shadows of everyone's struggles.

I moved out all of a sudden, why is my heart still a little empty?

This feeling is the most obvious for the little dog. He smiled and said, "Boss, why do I feel like I was mopping the floor in the office one second, and then it will be like this the next second?"

"Will you come back later?"

Yang Niu Xing said to Xia Jingxing with a smile: "I really want to buy this place and make it a memorial hall."

Xia Jingxing was happy, "Okay, when Facebook reaches the size of Yahoo, it should be able to discuss with Stanford University, keep it as it is, and make it a memorial hall."

The three of you said a word to me and sighed in the office for a while.

"All right!"

Xia Jingxing packed up his thoughts and waved his hand, "Let's go! New challenges are waiting for us!"

The two followed him out of the office, and as the door closed and locked,

Say goodbye to the incubation base completely, bid farewell to the start-up period.

Facebook's new Silicon Valley office.

Stepping on the soft carpet, Xia Jingxing looked at the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling windows and nodded with satisfaction. It didn't take more than two months for it to be in vain.

Kristina walked into his office with a smile, "Everyone is full of praise for the new office. If you are tired from work, you can go to the tea room for a cup of coffee. If you are tired from overtime at night, you can take a nap in the lounge...

In short, everyone seems to love it here, and the atmosphere is very cheerful. "

"That's very good!"

Xia Jingxing smiled and the two started chatting about work again.

"Stationery, hats, umbrellas have arrived and are entering Amazon's warehouses."

Yang Niu nodded, "The new job of the Amazon store is ready and can be sold at any time."

"I'm not going to make money for this batch of goods, or I can make a little less."

The babes frowned, "A gift?"

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, I said it before, this is a marketing method, and profit is not our biggest goal."

"In order to attract new Amazon users and sign up for Amazon through our Facebook, in addition to the website publicity must be eye-catching and in place, we must also make some profits."

The two discussed it for a while and filmed the new marketing campaign.

Xia Jingxing remembered something and reminded: "By the way, the summer will soon be over, and the batch of T-shirts in hand must be sold in time."

"Do not worry!"

Yang Niu nodded, "We have already calculated the sales volume and season, and there will never be a backlog of inventory."

mid-September.

Just when Facebook was trying to completely occupy American college campuses, there was a big news in the market.

"Dating.com announced that the number of registered users exceeded 5 million, successfully surpassing the campus social networking site Facebook, and with a valuation of over 100 million US dollars, it received 13 million US dollars in Series A investment from venture capitalists KleierPerkins and BenchmarkBattery."

The news came very suddenly, and it caused a sensation in the entire Silicon Valley at once.

"Social networking site" has officially become a hot topic in the entire Silicon Valley from the previous small talk.

Dating.com founder and CEO Jonathan Abrams held a grand funding press conference.

At the meeting, the reporter deliberately picked things up and showed the latest Alexa ranking, and the dating network still lags behind Facebook by a small gap.

The reporter asked: "Isn't this still behind Facebook? How can it be called surpassing?"

Jonathan took this opportunity to explain to reporters and the outside world: "Dating.com has more than 1 million users in Asia, and it is still growing at a rate that exceeds the growth rate of users in the United States...

A significant portion of these Asian users do not have the Alexa plug-in installed, so the data is not counted..."

Reporters don't care about these things and continue to pick things up, or dig a hole.

Jonathan has been living in the shadow of Facebook since he started the dating site.

He couldn't stand the sarcasm of reporters, and finally put out a ruthless remark: "Three months later, the number of users in the United States surpassed Facebook, and Alexa's latest ranking surpassed Facebook."

This is exactly the answer the reporter wanted, and it was posted directly on the newspaper, and even the title of this issue was changed to "The Battle of the Social Kings".

In addition to being held up by reporters to put the competition between Dating.com and Facebook on the bright side, Google once wanted to acquire Dating.com for US$30 million, which was also turned over by reporters at the meeting and brought up again.

In addition to talking to Facebook about an acquisition, Google has also approached dating sites, but has also been rejected.

In front of reporters, Jonathan put up his bold words: "30 million US dollars can only prove that it is a wrong number. Google has misjudged the potential of social networking sites. I think they should regret it at the moment.

Because the current valuation of Dating.com is 100 million US dollars, it will be more than this number in the future.

In the next time, Dating.com, as the first international social networking site, will vigorously launch its internationalization strategy.

And plan to log on to Nasdaq within the next three years..."

The Internet bubble period has just passed, and it has not yet fully eased. Some companies actually shouted the slogan of listing.

This evoked the reporter's mentality of watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, and it was very topical.

After proper processing by reporters, press releases from California and Silicon Valley were released one by one.

"Battle of the Social Kings\

,""The CEO of Dating Network: Crush Facebook in Three Months\

,""No One Knows Social Better Than Me - Jonathan, CEO of Dating Network\

,""Rejecting Google's $30 million acquisition, he will take the company to market for three years."

...

There are many newspapers with similar exaggerated headlines, and there is a high stack on Xia Jingxing's desk.

Xia Jingxing was too lazy to pay attention to such unnutritious reports, it was the foreign girl who insisted on buying it back for research.

After research, I found that farts are useless.

There are also reporters who came to Facebook’s new office and hoped to interview the founding management team of Facebook. How did they respond to Jonathan’s provocation? Does Facebook have any financing plans in the near future?

These reporters were all stopped by the front desk, and Facebook did not accept any media interviews.

But for Jonathan's provocation, Xia Jingxing still entrusted the front desk to respond.

The front desk handed a small note to the reporter, which read: Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, you can do it. See you in three months!

The reporter found the response interesting, and some reporters took a photo of the note.

Under the concocting of these people, Facebook, as the originator of social networking, looked down on the dating network at all, and did not even accept interviews, so it went directly to the gauntlet.

Under the media's provocation and turn-by-turn reports, Dating Network and Facebook are getting more and more attention, and the number of users is skyrocketing!
