Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

Elon Musk looked at Ning Zimo, and a shadow of his youth flashed through his mind. He recalled that he was also a green man at that time, but he lacked the confidence and sharpness of the young man in front of him.

I really don’t know how much success he could achieve if he was given a broader stage.

This thought kept churning in his mind, and Elon became very interested.

Looking at Ning Zimo, Elon smiled and said, "Ning, are you interested in joining the acquisition negotiation team?"

Ning Zimo was stunned for a moment,

He was sure he heard correctly!

Elon Musk invited him to join the acquisition negotiating team.

Ning Zimo knows very well what Elon Musk's invitation means.

Even though he resigned from the Paypalceo team in his previous life, he still held 11.7% of the shares after Paypal was listed, equivalent to approximately 328 million US dollars. Peter Thiel, who was in the position of Paypalceo, only held 3.7%, which was approximately equivalent to 55 million US dollars.

Elon Musk has enough voice to participate in PayPal's decision-making, but he is willing to hand over the execution power to a team that can do the work.

But despite this, Ning Zimo still looked at Peter Thiel. Ning Zimo understood that no matter what, he must give the current CEO enough respect. After all, he is a partner who works with Peter.

"I think this is a good idea." Peter didn't react too strongly to Ning Zimo's questioning look, but he gave a positive answer. After a pause, Peter added, "We also need people from Paypal to take a look.

It is because of whose role that they are willing to pay a high price to acquire Paypal!"

"Yes, let's show those MBA guys from eBay, Paypal, which they once looked down upon, and you, a genius, are still there."

"Yeah."

Saxophone and Levchin waved their fists and followed Peter to vent their emotions wantonly.

Feeling the uncontrollable arrogance of his partners, Ning Zimo could completely understand their impulses at the moment.

In the past days and nights, all members of Paypal have bravely emerged from the war-torn purgatory to where they are today.

Just like the battle on the Korean battlefield, the Paypal people often had to withstand the unequal offensive coordinated by eBay's infantry and artillery. From the foxholes that were almost cut off by the shells, to the pits mixed with mud and gunpowder smoke,

Dragging his tired body back to the fighting position, he concentrated on defense.

At that time, eBay's MBA men will come out of the cool place where they can recharge their batteries, armed with sophisticated equipment, and attack with all their concentration.

Ning Zimo knew that had it not been for his appearance, the cruelty that Paypal had experienced in his previous life would have been far more dangerous than the situation he had set up now.

But even so, even if they didn't have themselves in the previous life, these guys still accomplished every impossible thing. They stood up in the cracks and launched a counterattack to win.

If we say Paypal in this life, it is a smart team that relies on its golden fingers to lead everyone to find new ways to create opportunities.

So in their previous life, they were like pounced on the enemy from the front, fierce soldiers who were not afraid of death.

Shopping malls have always been a battlefield without smoke. Only those who have truly experienced it can understand the dangers involved.

Ning Zimo looked at the partners present one by one, feeling quite emotional about their partners' support:

"We are a team and every victory here belongs to all of us."

The people around him were silent, but after hearing Ning Zimo's words, Elon Musk nodded heavily, "Yes, we are a team!".

Saying this, Elon Musk feels differently in his heart. Although this is the first time he has returned to Paypal in the past year, no matter from the current results or the cohesiveness of the team, Elon

Everyone can feel that many of the sources of this change come from that young genius.

Rise in the wind and break through the waves!

Waves take advantage of the wind, but few people can withstand the pressure to face and control the wind and waves.

If a group of people like this get together and a genius like a catalyst joins them, what great things can't be accomplished?

Elon Musk suddenly felt a little regretful. Why couldn't he stand with the team in the first place?

If I could have stood with the team at that time, I would have had this young genius join me.

Will the development of PayPal still be what it is today?

…

January 10, 2002 was the day when PayPal went public. At 10:00 in the morning, almost everyone in the company sat in front of PayPal's "Arctic Circle" lecture hall. Even those engineers who liked night activities came early.

Many people gathered around Peter Thiel, watching him play chess against 10 opponents.

Ning Zimo was not interested in chess. He just sat at the far side of the "vegetable market"-like lecture hall and quietly watched everything happening in front of him. But there were always numbers in his ears that Chen Shijun kept chanting.

When the number reached 18, Chen Shijun jumped up excitedly, "18 US dollars, my God, it is 5 yuan higher than our expected issuance price. We are going to be prosperous!"

Chen Shijun hugged Pan Yu, who was also excited next to him, and was so excited that he didn't notice that the Coke in his hand spilled on Pan Yu and Ning Zimo because of his large movements.

Chen Shijun really couldn't suppress his excitement. Because of Ning Zimo's relationship, he participated in too many valuable projects, which made him receive 100,000 employee shares when allocating stocks. Although he knew that Ning Zimo must have received more

Much, but he understood that without this young roommate, his value would not be so great.

100,000 shares, at a price of 18 US dollars, will be as high as 1.8 million US dollars.

Chen Shijun has long been optimistic about the new BMW Z8 and is waiting to buy one after the ban is lifted.

When the time comes, I will drive that convertible sports car and pick up Kelly with 999 roses. The visual impact of that scene should make her cry with excitement, right?

Ning Zi looked at the traces of Coca-Cola on her clothes and muttered silently, but couldn't help but curl her lips when hearing the numbers in Chen Shijun's mouth.

Only 18?

Ning Zimo remembers,

At its highest, it rose to $22.

Sitting there lazily, Ning Zimo was extremely calm.

But Chen Shijun rushed up at this moment and played with Ning Zimo's hair, "Brother, we are rich!!! Thank you so much, buddy."

"Oh my God, my hair." Ning Zimo struggled to resist Chen Shijun's claws, but was helpless because his hair was too long.

In the more than a year since his rebirth, Ning Zimo has not even cut his hair once to save trouble. On the one hand, he is lazy, and on the other hand, he does not trust Teacher Tony from the United States. As for what those guys once thought, in order to cover up the scar under the corner of his eye.

, he didn't care at all.

At this time, his hair could hang down past his chin. As a result, this long hair turned out to be Chen Shijun's only tool to control him.

MMP, StarCraft and CS don't resist beatings, how can you get back by fighting like girls?

"Okay, okay, be careful Ning comes back with revenge. It's not like you don't know his unyielding character." Pan Yu stretched out his hand to pull Chen Shijun's coat, but he didn't make any actual movements with his hands while he was talking.

Pan Yu watched his two roommates arguing like two children, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart.

As a member of Paypal's start-up team, and as one of several senior security officers passed by the team, Pan Yu received 300,000 employee shares. This stock, currently worth 5.4 million, directly provided the highest return for his past efforts.

But Pan Yu was very grateful to the young roommate whose hair was played by Chen Shijun. Although he was the first to contact Ning Zimo, Pan Yu would always remember his unconstrained creativity and his lofty vision.

Pan Yu knows that there are geniuses in this world, otherwise how could Ning appear? Can he fight bloody battles with Paypal until today, and still bring himself 5.4 million in profits?

Although he is still frighteningly young even though he is one year older, in less than a year, Ning has proved his ability with enough strength and proved that he is a trustworthy partner.

even,

is one,

excellent,

leader!

"Haha, Chen, this is revenge. Didn't you just lose to Ning in the finals twice?"

Pan Yu came back to his senses and saw Hoffman, Levchin and Sachs approaching in a group at a glance.

As soon as Sachs finished speaking, Levchin pointed at the updated numbers on the screen and smiled, "Guys, our stock has risen by another dollar."

Levchin grinned, but his peripheral vision was focused on his partner with messy hair.

When Levchin thought about his 900,000 shares worth 1,710,000 shares, he sincerely praised his original wisdom.

If he hadn't been curious about this young genius's plan, how could their paypal be lucky enough to get a young leader with extraordinary abilities. Although Ning did not stand directly in front of the stage like Peter, his outstanding vision helped the team win again and again.

of victory.

Levchin was glad that he had seen a genius,

He was even more glad that he trusted a genius.

Especially when this genius becomes your partner, the feeling of being able to hand over your back is one of solidity, reliability, and trust.

"Okay, okay, the combined age of the two of them is..."

Hoffman smacked his lips. He wanted to say that Ning and Pan, who were having a fight together, could be considered a middle-aged joke. But after he said it too quickly, he realized that because Ning was too young, they

Altogether, they are only 41 years old.

Hoffman was a little helpless.

Ning single-handedly lowered the average age of the Paypal team.

But it was he, an 18-year-old young genius, who led his team through many storms and achieved such outstanding results, and he almost became a multi-millionaire.

How could he not love such a partner?

Hoffman, who was hesitant to speak, was sighing with emotion when Sachs suddenly put his arm around his shoulders.

Sachs smiled happily, "Guys, what I said was right, we need Ning. He is not only a creative genius, but also a market master. I noticed at that time that he was involved in every plan.

His ability to tap market demand, his keen vision, and his thorough insight. Without him, how could we all become millionaires or even multi-millionaires?"

When Chen Shijun heard Sachs's words, he chuckled in his heart.

He still remembered that it was Sachs who wanted to plagiarize Ning's idea.

But Chen Shijun is now gradually able to understand him, that is Sachs's serious style of doing things.

Just like when he noticed Ning's ability, he spared no effort to support Ning and spared no effort to obtain more resources for Ning.

Even until the end, Ning held the position of coo in PayPal's senior management team, and Sacks definitely had an important push there.

Compared with these practical actions, what are the trivial matters of the past?

Isn’t the trust and friendship between people established in fighting side by side in the rain of bullets?

Thinking of the past years of working together, Chen Shijun was filled with pride:

"Come on, stop staring at this number. Let's go to the ipo burger at the door today. The most expensive hamburger set costs 160 US dollars. We must have one. Today, I'm treating you!"

"Hahahaha, I'd rather eat a few more, so that later I can fight for more benefits for the guys with that strong lady from eBay!"

While talking, several people gathered around Ning Zimo and walked out.

Ning Zimo listened to Hoffman's last words, but snickered in his heart.

How did Hoffman know that he had already fought against the Iron Lady once in the past few days?

It's just that, whether it's the partners around me or that iron lady.

No one knew there was such an invisible confrontation.
