Chapter 165

After entering the new century, the Internet has completed its first substitution, with instant messaging replacing the telephone, email replacing the post office, and BBS replacing bulletin boards. Now the Internet has ushered in the second layer of substitution, with search replacing portals and social networking replacing instant messaging.

Communication.

After Facebook was launched at Harvard University, it became as popular as a rocket. It soon had 8,000 users, including many faculty and staff, and "Facebook Me" has become a daily expression for many students.

As a result, Zuckerberg has become the most popular darling at Harvard University, even after producing 19 Nobel Prize winners, 15 Pulitzer Prize winners and a movie star (Natalie Porter).

In Mann's school, Zuckerberg is also the most popular person, known as "Bill Gates second".

The rapid growth of Facebook also made Zuckerberg realize that he needed manpower to operate and maintain the website. He first turned to his closest friends - his roommates, but the manpower was still not enough, so he prepared to build a new website on campus.

We are recruiting two interns.

And because of the popularity of Facebook, many people signed up, so there was a drinking programming competition tonight, and Zuckerberg directly selected programmers through the competition.

As for why Li Feng recognized Zuckerberg at a glance, not only because Li Feng had seen him often on the Internet in his previous life, but also because Zuckerberg always wore a gray round-neck T-shirt that had not changed for thousands of years.

It seems that Zuckerberg has never changed his clothes. Even after all these years of starting a business in his previous life, Zuckerberg’s only improvement in his clothing is from flip-flops to the current black Nike shoes.

Of course, it’s not just Zuckerberg, it seems that many business tycoons are like this. Apple’s Steve Jobs also wore a black turtleneck sweater, jeans, and New Balance sneakers as a standard. This is the “Jobs-style uniform” of the technology party.

Dressing up has almost extended to Apple employees.

In China, like Zhou Hongyi, just like his name, he wears red clothes all day long and is worthy of being called the "Red Cannon". Lao Luo of Smartisan Technology also wears a navy blue shirt unchanged in spring and summer...

In addition to the minimalism pursued by these big guys, it may also be a marketing method that best reflects the characteristics of the company's products.

Of course, Li Feng himself gave a relatively simple answer: whatever suits him best, but Li Feng rarely wears suits except for very important occasions.

When Lu Lu came in with Li Feng, the competition had come to an end. The five people who were competing were programming and drinking (one drink for every ten lines of coding). After the last two people won, Zuckerberg walked forward.

, held their hands and said "Welcome to Facebook" respectively.

After the game, Lu Lu led Li Feng up and said to Zuckerberg: "Mark, this is Li Feng. He wants to talk to you about Facebook."

At this time, Li Feng really took a closer look at Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg had very fair skin, a high forehead, and big eyes. However, he looked leaner than in his previous life and looked greener.

When Li Feng was observing Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg was also observing Li Feng. In fact, when Lu Lu brought Li Feng in, Zuckerberg had already noticed Li Feng.

Lu Lu is also a prominent figure at Harvard University. She has her own fund company. There are even many rumors saying that she has earned tens of millions of dollars.

Normally in college, Lu Lu always behaved very coldly, and many people thought she was a lesbian. Unexpectedly, she brought a man with her today, and she also stayed beside Li Feng with a happy look on her face. This made just now

Zuckerberg, who had recently fallen out of love, was very hurt.

Zuckerberg's attitude was not very good at first. He said quickly and casually: "You are Lu Lu's Chinese boyfriend. I am very happy to meet you for the first time... and how did you treat Queen Lu Lu?"

The one who caught up..."

Zuckerberg spoke very fast, which made it difficult for Li Feng, who had just started to understand English, to keep up. However, Li Feng still understood the key words.

When Li Feng heard Zuckerberg say "I am Lu Lu's boyfriend", he thought he heard wrongly and asked Zuckerberg again: "Did you just say that I was Lu Lu's boyfriend?"

Zuckerberg said: "Isn't your name Li Feng? Lu Lu told me that day that her boyfriend wanted to meet me and asked me to talk about Facebook, and it wasn't Lu Lu who said her boyfriend was in China.

, I guess there are a lot of people chasing me now!”

Finally, Zuckerberg gave Li Feng a look that even a man could understand.

After getting Zuckerberg's approval, Li Feng looked at Lu Lu specifically and found that Lu Lu looked like a child who had done something wrong and turned her head to the side.

But after a while, Lu Lu turned her head back and looked at Li Feng with affectionate eyes. At this time, Li Feng couldn't stand Lu Lu's eyes anymore, so he turned around and said to Zuckerberg: "Well, I am Lu.

Lu’s boyfriend, but I’m looking for you this time,

It’s because of Facebook. I believe Lu Lu has basically told you that I am very optimistic about Facebook’s prospects. It is really cool and I am very optimistic about it. I hope to invest in it and become your partner.”

Although Facebook is only popular at Harvard University, there are really many people who want to invest in Facebook. After all, it is just an angel theory in the early stage. Investing ten or twenty thousand US dollars is still money, and Lu Lu did not tell Zuckerberg specifically about Li Feng

situation, which led Zuckerberg to think that Li Feng just wanted to be an ordinary investor.

So Zuckerberg, who was not short of money, did not directly answer Li Feng's question. Instead, he said to Li Feng: "Do you dare to have a beer pong game with me? If I lose, I will agree to your investment."

.”

Li Feng didn't know what was going on inside, but he heard about "Beer Pong" and if you win, you can get Facebook shares, so Li Feng simply agreed.

And there is no such thing as "table tennis", don't worry about "table tennis", as long as you play table tennis, when have the Chinese been afraid of Americans? Li Feng is quite confident in his own skills, and Li Feng has not been so relaxed for a long time.

Just when Li Feng was about to "pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger", he found that this "beer pong" was different from what he imagined. On a rectangular table, there were 10 cups filled with beer on each side, arranged in a triangle.

,

The rules of the game are also simple. Both parties take turns throwing ping pong balls at each other's cups. The throwing method is not limited. You can throw the ping pong balls directly into the cup or bounce them into the cup.

If the throw is successful, the opponent must drink up the glass of beer and take the cup until one party's cup is taken away, and the final loser must drink all the remaining beer of the other party.

What kind of table tennis is there? You just need a table tennis ball. No wonder it's called "Beer Ping Pong". Isn't it just a drinking contest?

Although Li Feng's drinking capacity is not good, since he agreed, he can't say "no". Besides, a man can do anything, so he can't say "no". Besides, it's only about ten drinks at most!

So Li Feng also stepped forward and challenged Zuckerberg. Soon Li Feng discovered that this was not the case. After both sides threw ten times each, Li Feng only hit 2 times, while Zuckerberg hit the target twice.

Berg has already hit 8 times. As long as Zuckerberg hits 2 more times, Li Feng will lose, and Li Feng will drink all the remaining beer in the cup.

Li Feng felt that he was in trouble, and his head was a little unruly, especially because this beer cup was deep and big, like a bottomless pit, and he couldn't get used to drinking American beer.

As long as he drank a little more, Li Feng felt like he was going to vomit. Li Feng felt a little regretful and lost his temper. It seems that this "beer pong" still has a certain technical content.

Lu Lu also saw that Li Feng had reached the end of his drinking. Just when Li Feng was about to give up, Lu Lu took over and said to Zuckerberg: "My boyfriend's drinking capacity is limited. I will do the rest."

Zuckerberg still disagreed, "That won't work. Who asked him to come as he just promised, except for you to have two cups for one cup."

In fact, Zuckerberg also saw that Li Feng's drinking power was running low and he was about to end the game. Unexpectedly, Lu Lu stood up again. Originally, Zuckerberg just wanted to scare Lu Lu, but he didn't expect that she actually agreed.

Lu Lu said directly: "Okay, two cups is two cups, but no matter you win or lose, don't forget to talk about Facebook later."

When Li Feng saw Lu Lu taking action, he hurriedly said: "That won't work. How can we get a woman to come forward? Let me do it. I'll just vomit in a while. It's like this anyway."

Instead, Lu Lu turned to Li Feng and said, "Don't worry, my hometown is in the Northeast. I only order wine to moisten my throat."

Li Feng was relieved when he heard that Lu Lu's hometown was the Northeast. If Chinese women were to be considered stronger, they were girls from the Northeast, known as "China's Ocean Horse."

However, Li Feng was still worried and asked: "Really? This is just for fun, don't take it seriously."

Lu Lu gave Li Feng another reassuring look before confronting Zuckerberg. However, because Li Feng was far behind in the early stage, although Lu Lu hit two in a row, Zuckerberg still won with one hit.

Lu Lu also quickly drank the rest of the beer.

There were 20 beers in total. Li Feng drank 8 glasses and was fine. Lu Lu drank 8 glasses and was fine. Zuckerberg drank 4 glasses and was still a little blushing. I watched Lu Lu drinking and drinking water.

Not to mention Li Feng was stunned, even Zuckerberg was stunned, and even felt a little secretly glad that he couldn't drink anymore.

After finishing the drink, Lu Lu said to Zuckerberg very relaxedly: "Mr. Mark, let's get down to business and go to the coffee shop opposite."

Zuckerberg readily agreed and took his laptop with him.

However, after this "beer pong" game, Zuckerberg also became familiar with Li Feng and Lu Lu. Zuckerberg, like Li Feng, is not good at sociability, but Zuckerberg and Li Feng

The difference is that once you are familiar with it, you won’t be able to leave it in your mouth.

Along the way, Zuckerberg pulled Li Feng to chat, which made Li Feng nod his head, "Isn't it cool to have this Facebook? After a while, I will push it to other universities...

"

Li Feng "..."

"You guys are so lucky to have such an outstanding beauty like Lu Lu as your girlfriend. It's not like Bill dumped me just now. By the way, have you guys slept together yet..."

Li Feng "..."

"Your name is Li Feng. This Chinese name is hard to remember. How about I give you an English name? The pronunciation of your 'Li' is similar to Leo. From now on, you can be called Leo, which means lion."

Li Feng "..."

But what Li Feng didn't expect was that this "Leo" would later become Li Feng's name in the entire Western world, the "Lion of the East."

Li Feng was so drunk that he drank several glasses of water in a cafe to regain his composure.

Li Feng was afraid that Zuckerberg might have some new ideas or make another mistake. After all, Zuckerberg wrote on his business card, "I'm the CEO, bitch!"

Li Feng got straight to the point and said: "Mark, Facebook is indeed a very cool social networking site. I mean it is cooler than the most popular MySpace right now, and it is also real-name authenticated.

Users like to communicate on it very much and post their own information and status. This is a very open and friendly way of socializing. I think it is likely to change the way the world communicates.

So, this is the purpose of me coming to you, which is to invest in it, work with you to make Facebook bigger, defeat MySpace, and develop it into the most powerful social networking site in the Western world. And I also have experience in this area, and I believe I can help

You have been of great help."

When it came time for formal negotiations, Li Feng's state returned, as if he had suddenly transformed from an ordinary college student into the CEO of a large company, let alone Zuckerberg.

Even Lu Lu felt that Li Feng's temperament suddenly changed, just like the bosses of big companies she often saw on Wall Street. For a while, Lu Lu looked at Li Feng like the milk tea girl looking at Liu Qiangdong.

Look into your husband's eyes."

But Li Feng didn't see this. Before he got drunk, Li Feng still wanted to settle the Facebook matter.

So Li Feng didn't give Zuckerberg time to think about it, and then asked Zuckerberg, "Mark, do you have an estimate of the value of Facebook?"

Li Feng remembers that Facebook received its first angel investment of US$500,000, which was invested by Peter Thiel, one of the co-founders of Paypal from the "Silicon Valley Mafia". The time seemed to be in 2004.

The shrewd Zuckerberg asked: "Leo, how much do you think Facebook is worth?"

The United States is a standard business society. Neighbors need money for weeding, watering flowers, etc., and in many cases the money is divided very clearly.

As for Mark Zuckerberg, a name with "Berg" in it sounds like a Jewish name, just like Spielberg, both are Jewish.

As the two most intelligent races along with the Chinese, every Jew is a natural businessman and is naturally interested in business. This is an innate talent.

Li Feng laughed loudly: "Mark, I think it is worth at least one billion US dollars, and it will be worth tens of billions or even more in the future... But that is in the future, not now.

This is why I am willing to invest in it now. As I said just now, I have seen its future and want to make Facebook bigger with you."
