The signing ceremony ended very quickly. There was naturally no need for a cocktail party.
Whether it was Liu Qiangdong or Shen Fei, they were not the kind of people who cared about this kind of situation.
They were more concerned about whether the cooperation could proceed smoothly.
After the signing ceremony, Shen Fei called a few people together and held a meeting for them.
Only Shen Fei, Li Chunfeng, Wang Quan, and Gong Xiaolei were in the meeting room.
"President Li is in charge of the company's general direction. Wang Quan, you're in charge of following up on this project in Jingdong.”
Shen Fei immediately instructed," Also, Xiaolei, get ready. Go to America next week and meet up with CEO Lin. The negotiations between him and Facebook have already entered a substantial stage."”
" The substantial stage?"
Gong Xiaolei thought of what Shen Fei said before and asked in surprise,""We really want to invest in face."
"Yes."
Shen Fei nodded slightly.
Lin Yuan had been pushing for this matter in the US. Fortunately, due to the attention of Microsoft.com, Facebook also needed to raise funds. Therefore, Zuckerberg was not that resistant to Wanli Investment's involvement.
The only difference was that Lin Yuan wanted more shares under Shen Fei's instructions, but Zuckerberg was obviously unwilling to give more shares.
After all, although the outbreak of the mortgage crisis had a huge impact on the entire US economy, everyone could still see that Facebook's future was worth looking forward to.
To put it bluntly.
Zuckerberg was very confident in his company.
However, in Shen Fei's opinion, this was only because the impact of the mortgage crisis had not yet fully erupted.
When the mortgage crisis broke out, the real estate, finance, and even Internet companies in the entire US would be affected. That would be the biggest trouble.
Shen Fei remembered very clearly that at that time, Facebook's valuation dropped from 15 billion USD to 10 billion USD, which was equivalent to a third of its value!
However, Shen Fei could not wait any longer. At that time, it would be very easy for him to lose the qualification to enter.
Therefore…
He could only strike first.
"Alright, I'll go back and pack up. We'll set off in two days.”
Gong Xiaolei hurriedly nodded in agreement.
………………
Silicon Valley, USA.
Mark Zuckerberg sat in his office, looking at a document in front of him, not saying a word for a long time.
"Ma Ke, what are you thinking?”
Face's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said to Zuckerberg,""The people at Microsoft-based have already lost their patience.”
In fact.
Recently, the operation of Face had indeed encountered some difficulties.
In the early stages of their development, they didn't encounter too much trouble in terms of user experience. It wasn't until last year that they launched the dynamic message function, which automatically displayed a summary of all kinds of updates from friends on the user's page.
This caused a large number of users to be dissatisfied, thinking that their privacy had been compromised.
A user said," It feels like everyone knows what I'm doing. It's like I'm being followed."”
Zuckerberg immediately apologized for this, saying that he originally wanted to bring information flow to users in social circles, but he didn't want to do so badly in user control.
Later, changes were made to allow users to customize their privacy settings.
However, a large amount of user information was ultimately converted into commercial value.
This also attracted the attention of Microsoft.com.
One had to know,
In January last year, the two-year-old Face's traffic had already surpassed Amazon, disney, and other websites. At this time, Zuckerberg also began to make a big deal out of companies that were interested in acquiring.
At that time, the US media giant Viacom offered 750 million US dollars to buy the website, but Zuckerberg asked for 2 billion US dollars, and the acquisition plan was aborted.
In September of the same year, a bid of 900 million US dollars was also rejected.
And now, even though Microsoftwas considering acquiring the company, Zuckerberg was still hesitating.
"Wait a little longer, Cheryl."
Zuckerberg faced his most trusted subordinate and shook his head.""I'll think about it."
"Oh my God!"
Sheryl Sandberg said helplessly," They've lost their patience. They're asking us to give them a reply within 48 hours, whether we'll accept the investment or choose to be acquired. Besides, those Easterners are also waiting. Are you really going to give them 5% of the shares?”
Hearing her words, Zuckerberg looked up and stood up abruptly.""No, I won't sell my website to those scammers in Chinatown!”
At this moment.
His emotions were extremely agitated.
