Reborn Millennium Player

January 1st, the first day of the new year.

Lu Fei and Xu Xin met in the VIP lounge of Capital International Airport and flew to Boston, America with their business team.

Before meeting Zuckerberg, he first met with Wall Street elites and various small families, all of whom were connected by Xu Xin's husband Li Song, who is the vice president of Bear Stearns.

"This is old Brock."

Xu Xin introduced Lu Fei with a smile, "The Block family has been engaged in investment brokerage for three generations and is very famous on Wall Street..."

"Haha, it will be the 4th generation soon."

Old Bullock deliberately pushed his son out. The latter was in a suit and leather shoes, with yellow hair and blue eyes, but he spoke fluent Chinese:

"Lu, it's such an honor to meet you. My name is Carlson Bullock. Just call me Carlson."

"Hello."

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, not just because of his Chinese, but also because he was the founder of Muddy Waters Company.

This guy is the ruthless man who short-listed Zhen, Domestic Light, Wall Street Leek Cutter, and Luckin Coffee, and his expression on Chinese concept stocks changed when he heard about it.

But there must be something pitiful about hateful people.

In fact, he liked Huaxia very much at first, and he was a Huaxia expert. He admired Huaxia and heard that there were business opportunities everywhere, so he took his money and excitedly jumped into the Huaxia stock market.

As expected, after losing all his money, the Wolf of Wall Street was beaten into a husky in the East.

Because there are gods in the stock market who are good at cutting leeks and eventually love turns to hate. I feel that Chinese concept stocks and the Chinese stock market are all about fishing in troubled waters and very watery. The word "muddy water" is taken from "fishing in troubled waters".

Romance

From a pink head, I suddenly turned into a blackhead, but now, I am still a "silly white sweet" who yearns for Chinese culture.

"Carlson will graduate from the University of Kent School of Law in Chicago next year. He understands law and investment brokerage..."

Old Bullock looked proud and praised seemingly unintentionally.

Lu Fei could hear the hidden meaning, made eye contact with Xu Xin, and then invited Carlson to work part-time as a bridge between the two families.

I saw him curiously asking: "Lu, why is your fund called 'Three Body'?"

Lu Fei gave a simple explanation of celestial mechanics and slowly extended: "To put it simply, the three elements of combat are time, place and people, favorable weather, location and people, all of which are indispensable... To put it more deeply, power, wealth, and...

"

"And democracy." Carlson responded quickly.

"Ah, yes, yes, Minzuo."

Lu Fei raised his lips and changed the topic.

The few people chatted happily, and Carlson agreed to take a part-time job on the spot. He immediately received his first question when he joined the company——

How do founders avoid being kicked out of the board of directors after they grow up in the company?

When Old Bullock saw his son in trouble, he hesitated and answered for him calmly. There were boardroom struggles and poor performance, but the most fatal thing was moral corruption.

"Drug abuse, fraud, bribery, insider trading, racial discrimination, resume fraud..."

Lu Fei rubbed his chin, thinking about how to kick Zuckerberg off the board of directors after the matter was completed.

…………

Throughout the morning, I met more than a dozen people.

They know the Bullock family and these small Wall Street gangsters. Everyone in the world is just for profit. Mr. Lu is using them. They also want to rely on Mr. Lu to enter China. Each of them has their own little ideas.

"Sister Xin, these people need to be observed for a while, especially those with family backgrounds."

Lu Fei raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Xu Xin understood this, so he recruited a team to take charge of the early stage, leaving only the finishing work to them, and then mixed them together, and the team of the "Three Body" Fund was formed.

The business covers PE, VC, and stocks, as well as private legal services and asset management, and there are already shadows of family offices.

After having lunch at McDonald's and briefly settling the matter, the group took a car to Harvard University and showed up at the appointed cafe on time.

Looking around, Zuckerberg, who looks like a robot, is particularly conspicuous and can be recognized at a glance.

"Lu! It's really you!"

Zuckerberg also recognized Mr. Lu at once, like a fanboy meeting his idol, his eyes lit up, he excitedly picked up "The World is Flat" and asked for his autograph.

Turns out this is a surprise!

Eduardo opened his mouth wide and was speechless.

"sit."

Lu Fei, who was wearing a hat, pressed his hand and asked everyone to sit down. Then he signed his name with a pen and started talking about Facebook.

With his excited heart and trembling hands, Zuckerberg shook out the unopened emails without reservation.

Whenever he talks about something, Lu Fei can draw inferences. Not only can he see through his thoughts, but he can also solve all the mysteries that trouble him in a few words.

At this moment, in Zuckerberg's eyes, Mr. Lu is a beacon, a godfather, and a mentor. He is just one step away from becoming a god.

"Oh my God."

Eduardo looked left and right, feeling that Lu Fei was like Kakashi in "Naruto" that he was obsessed with recently, opening his Sharingan and replicating everything on Facebook.

"Don't be surprised, before you, I have launched this kind of product called 'Line' in Bangzi."

Lu Fei picked up the sugar cube and threw it into the coffee.

"You have already had the same product plan as me?!"

Zuckerberg is like a robot again, his brain is down.

Eduardo shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" and then questioned, since there are already mature products that far surpass Facebook, why not invest in them in the United States?

"Who is he?" Lu Fei deliberately pretended not to recognize him.

"Oh, Lu, he is my partner."

Zuckerberg slowly recovered from the shock and introduced Facebook's shareholding structure. Eduardo holds 30%, another roommate and partner, Moskowitz, 5%, and he holds 65%.

"I attracted the venture capital fund."

Eduardo raised his chin and showed off his military exploits.

Lu Fei yelled, it turned out to be the little Zha San!

He picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee gracefully,

"The reason why I haven't pushed it to Europe and the United States is very simple. I have too many projects, and I can't handle them all by myself. I originally planned to wait for Line to occupy Bangzi and cover Southeast Asia before entering Europe and the United States. I didn't expect you to join me.

Think of it together."

Zuckerberg was excited and also felt lucky.

Just by dictating it, he could tell the difference. Facebook's combat power was only 6,000, while Line's was at least 10,000.

Fortunately, it was not implemented in Europe and the United States. Otherwise, Facebook's response to Line would be to attack a stone with an egg. Fortunately, I listened to Master Lu's holy teachings and plagiarized his ideas when I went back to improve and upgrade Facebook.

Anyway, he stole the idea of ​​Facebook!

However, Lu Fei seemed to have the ability to read minds and read in advance that he was going to plagiarize. He actually offered to provide the code and technology to Facebook, but the premise was——

Technology should also be converted into shares.

"How many shares do you want from us?" Zuckerberg asked excitedly.

"Since it's US$500,000, it's already 10%."

Lu Fei proposed an investment of US$1.2 million in addition to the domain name and technology, and then said in their eager eyes:

"26%."

"What!?"

The two looked at each other, with a rare tacit understanding that it was too much. Eduardo, in particular, reacted more violently, because after acquiring 26% of the shares, he fell from the second largest shareholder to the third largest shareholder.

"Relax, this is a marketing point."

Lu Fei took a sip of coffee and recounted how Jobs was very short of money when he started his business in a garage, and even planned to exchange one-third of his shares for $50,000 (approximately $150,000 in later generations).

"Markkula spent $250,000 and got 26% of Apple. Today I also invested 26% in Facebook because I believe it is the next Apple and the next Microsoft. What do you think, Mark?"

"Of course, sir!"

Zuckerberg is full of enthusiasm, and Huaxia Land really understands me!

"They all call me 'Chinese Bill Gates' and 'Chinese Steve Jobs'. When I meet you today, I think you will be the next Bill Gates and the next Steve Jobs..."

The words were low and magnetic, full of temptation, like a devil whispering, leaving Xu Xin stunned for a moment——

Ah, this marketing power!

Ah, the power of storytelling!

Ah, this ability to fool people!

At this moment, Xu Xin felt that she was redundant.

Zuckerberg has never appreciated the "cake-drawing ability" of Chinese business owners. Each piece of cake is filled with mouthfuls of chicken soup and fed into his mouth.

Come on! Feed Xiao Zha some cake!

Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder earnestly: "Whether you want to call it faceshow, Facebook, or another name, you can choose from more than 20 domain names. This is your future kingdom."

I whispered in my heart, my son~

"Mark, Mark."

Eduardo glanced at Zuckerberg, who was intoxicated, touched him with his elbow a few times, but received no response, and said bravely:

"Even if we agree to give 26%, 1.2 million is too little!"

"How many do you want?" Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.

"500, no, 8 million US dollars!"

Eduardo was determined to ruin the deal and demanded an exorbitant price.

"$1.5 million, no more."

Lu Fei chuckled, "You don't even have a website online. Even if it is online, what is the profit model and how to turn products into money? You don't even have a ppt."

"Of course advertising!"

Eduardo vowed: "As long as it goes online, there will be traffic. If there is traffic, you can advertise, and if you have advertising fees, you can make a profit."

Lu Fei smiled and said: "Mark, do you also agree with advertising soon after it goes online?"

"No, I think the initial experience is more important than making money."

Zuckerberg looked both ways: "Profit may not be the primary goal for a long time."

Lu Fei agreed: "That's right! Everything focuses on products and users first. As long as there are enough users, there is no need to worry about finding a profit model."

"mark!?"

Eduardo's eyes widened. Obviously I was here first and I am the second largest shareholder. He is a latecomer and has not yet invested in the shares. Why are you wearing a pair of pants?

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes and secretly provoked a conflict between the two.

He had seen the movie "The Social Network". The two of them were from top to bottom and had different ideas. In the end, Zuckerberg used a trick to use the trust between friends to sign an equity transfer agreement without any precautions.

.

The history of IT circles is full of them.

Countless successful bosses have the taint of backstabbing their partners. They can only share adversity, not wealth. Once rich, human nature will be exposed immediately.

Some go back on their word, some kill donkeys, some eat inside and outside, and some betray their promises. Just like rebelling and founding a country, it is rare to release military power over a glass of wine.

Compared with them, Mr. Lu is like a white lotus!

"Lu, can we go back and consider this offer?"

Zuckerberg was undecided and wanted to see Line's technical capabilities and product design firsthand before making a decision.

"Of course! I can provide you with your Line account."

Lu Fei picked up a pen and paper, and while writing, he reminded that there was an additional clause in the financing agreement——

Preemptive right to purchase shares.

Different from the general ones, it is divided into two levels. Before the listing, Zuckerberg had the first-choice purchase right, and the "Three Body" Fund was the second-choice.

Whenever shareholders want to transfer their equity, they can determine their respective purchase ratios through negotiation.

"Why am I not included in the right of first refusal?"

Eduardo felt unhappy and glared.

Without waiting for Lu Fei to explain, Zuckerberg said softly: "Can you afford it? This is millions of dollars?"

"Whether you can afford it or not is one thing; whether you can afford it or not is another thing entirely!"

Eduardo was speechless and stood up. He didn't want to stay any longer. It hurt his self-esteem!

"hey-hey!"

Zuckerberg had no time to stop him. He watched his companion leave angrily and said apologetically: "Sauri, Lu, he is not usually like this."

"I understand that it's normal for young people to be emotional."

Lu Fei showed great magnanimity and extended his hand.

Zuckerberg was flattered, shook his hand and promised to give him an answer as soon as possible.

Then the two of them walked out of the cafe side by side. The moment they parted ways, Lu Fei said softly:

"There is something I shouldn't say, but as an investor, I still want to remind you that Eduardo is not compatible with you, and he may drag down the entire Facebook project."

"Uh, you're exaggerating."

Zuckerberg remained calm, but in fact he already had a thorn in his heart towards Eduardo. At this moment, the thorn pierced deeper.

Xu Xin remained silent, watching his worried figure go away, and then said: "Isn't it appropriate for you to create conflicts between partners like this? This is playing with fire."

"This is called burying thunder." Lu Fei rubbed his mouth.

Xu Xin shook her head: "I really don't know what you are thinking. If Zuckerberg suspects you, he will let us..."

"Don't worry, when he sees Line, he will believe in me as he believes in God."

Lu Fei raised his lips, "After all, even God has to call me God."

…………

Zuckerberg thought for a while and returned to his dormitory.

He found Eduardo drinking heavily. When he saw him coming back, he immediately asked angrily:

"Mark, who is your partner?"

"Relax, relax, of course it's you."

Zuckerberg frowned and said, "Saverin, we are friends." But in his heart, he thought about Lu Fei. After all, he is his idol! He is the Bole who knows me with his discerning eyes!

Eduardo was half drunk and said: "Since we are friends, we must safeguard our common interests. 26% of the equity is definitely not allowed! $1.5 million is definitely not allowed!"

Zuckerberg showed disgust in his eyes, said a few words of comfort and then ignored him. He sat down in front of the computer, quickly entered the Line interface, and converted the stick language into English.

The moment you log in to your account, it's like the door to heaven opens.

A beam of light shone on his face, completely dumbfounding him.

This layout, this arrangement, this product design, this little game...

Completely, completely different.

At this moment, Lu Fei looked to him like an omniscient and omnipotent god.

At this moment, Eduardo suddenly said drunkenly: "Mark, don't forget that it was me who brought you the entrepreneurial fund. You still have to rely on me to break into the elite circle of Harvard students. Does the 'Order of the Phoenix' know..."

"whispering sound!"

Zuckerberg looked back at him with disgust in his eyes.

I was thinking carefully about whether to kick him out before things were done!

ps: And...
