Martin thought for a while and suddenly said:"Mark, since this guy thinks that 2 million is not worth 5% of Face's shares, why don't I offer 10 million to buy 35% of Mr. Saverin's shares, as well as you and Das For some of the shares in Ding’s hands, my shareholding is still 45%"

"No, Martin, that's not fair to you! Mark Zuckerberg shouted.

Martin shook his head and smiled:"Are you helping a friend? It doesn't matter whether it's fair or not.""

Then he turned to look at Eduardo Saverin and said:"Mr. Saverin, for your 35% share, you can get 7.777 million of the 10 million. This is already enough for your investment. The return is nearly two hundred times. I think you will be satisfied, right?

Then he said to Mark Zuckerberg and the others:"The remaining 2.33 million should be enough to operate the website for a period of time. It's the best of both worlds."

Mark Zuckerberg said:"But you spent nearly eight million more, which is inappropriate." Martin waved his hand and said with a smile:"As long as I think"Two Seventy" is appropriate, you are my friend and I won't make it difficult for you.""

As soon as Martin said this, Eduardo Saverin was immediately embarrassed.

But Eduardo Saverin didn't say anything. He was quickly calculating the gains and losses.

Face Station is just one of his many part-time investments. , an investment of US$25,000 can earn a return of US$7.777 million. This return on investment is even enough to be included in the Harvard Business School case. Of course he was tempted.

But he still hesitated because he wondered why Martin Will it be so refreshing?

As if money is not money.

Is it really because of friendship?

Or because he is optimistic about Face's website?

Although Eduardo Saverin said before that he was optimistic about Face's future, in fact it was just an excuse during his negotiations..

In his mind, Face is just one of his many small investments. Although it has developed, it has many competitors.

For example, the twin Winklevoss brothers in the school, the Harvard fraternity website they founded, has functions It's similar to Face.

By the way, Mark Zuckerberg is also one of the founders of the Harvard fraternity website, but he doesn't hold a lot of shares.

In the future, the Winklevoss brothers will have a lawsuit to fight over Face, involving to the issue of plagiarism of the core content of the website.

While thinking, Eduardo Saverin kept secretly paying attention to Martin, and saw that he and Mark were chatting happily, and seemed not to take the 10 million to heart at all.

Yes, this He is worth more than 100 billion. Not to mention the two large oil fields that continuously provide him with funds, he just makes movies and writes novels, which brings in hundreds of millions of profits. Later, he heard Mark thank him again Martin arrived so quickly. Mark didn't even mention the website on the phone. Later, he decided to invest without even listening to Mark's introduction to the website...

This made him finally sure that Martin was really It was because of the friendship between friends that I decided to spend 10 million US dollars.

I felt a little envious.

I wish I had such inhuman friends.

At the same time, I also made the decision to sell my shares.

Anyway, he still has so many investments, so this one is not enough. If he keeps the shares, he will have to fight for power with Mark. It is better to throw them away and still maintain a certain friendship.

Eduardo Saverin understands his character, and now he still has There are seven small websites. Except for four whose investment ratio is extremely low, he can't let go of power for the remaining three and is still in charge of the website's finances.

"Martin, since you are so sincere, I agree. When to trade?"

Eduardo Saverin spoke.

Martin and Mark all looked over.

Eduardo Saverin could feel the dissatisfaction in Mark Zuckerberg's eyes, but this is nothing compared to millions of dollars. What?!

Martin smiled, very calmly, as if he didn’t care.

"You decide, I can do it anytime. Seeing how nonchalant Martin was, Eduardo Saverin became anxious, fearing that Martin would regret it, so he hurriedly said:

"Why don't I draft the contract now and sign it?"

"I can do it, it’s up to you!"Martin waved his hand casually.

"OK, I'll go right away."Eduardo Saverin jumped up immediately

…………

Time comes to the evening.

Martin treated Mark and his two roommates to dinner.

Luxurious meal!

To celebrate.

Celebrating Martin becoming one of their own.

Yes, the share transfer agreement has been signed, and Martin's $10 million has been spent.

At the dinner table, Martin also talked about the Winklevoss twins' Harvard fraternity website. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"It would be best to spend a sum of money to buy the Harvard fraternity website. This website is too similar to the idea of ​​Face. Once Face becomes bigger in the future, disputes will inevitably arise. It is better to nip the danger in the bud. Mark thought for a while, nodded and said:"Indeed, this hidden danger must be eliminated. I was also involved when the Winklevoss brothers started this website, and I also own 3% of the website's shares. I know that these two brothers are doing this." This website is just for fun, and I don’t take it seriously. It is estimated that it can be won with 200,000 US dollars."

"I'll go talk." Chris Hughes said

"Ok, there should be no problem if Chris takes action, his father and the father of the Winklevoss brothers are good friends0......"

Three days later, Martin left Boston and returned to Los Angeles.

And Eduardo Saverin, who got a lot of money from selling his website shares, decided to take a vacation for himself and live a life of debauchery.

On this day, he was preparing to go to a fraternity party when he was stopped by two middle-aged men in suits and ties.

"Excuse me, are you Eduardo Saverin?"

"I am, who are you and what's the matter?"

Eduardo Saverin asked vigilantly, ready to run away at any time. Once you have money, you will naturally worry about kidnapping, extortion and other issues.

If these two people didn't look like criminals, he would have run away long ago.

"We are the managers of Viacom Group Investments, you can call me Alex and his name is Terry. We want to buy your shares of Face."

(PS: In the original timeline, Viacom Group did want to acquire Face but failed to reach an agreement in the end.)

"What?"[]

Eduardo Saverin was shocked

"Why don't we find a place to talk? I know there is a coffee shop nearby."

Although the Face identity in his hand has been bought, Eduardo Saverin's excellent business acumen did not say anything about it immediately, but invited the two to chat.

An hour later.

Viacom Group Investment The two managers of the department left the coffee shop disappointed.

Eduardo Saverin sat there and thought about it.

"8.5 million, these two people are actually willing to spend 8.5 million to buy 35% of the shares in my hands. Although the price offered is not much more than what Martin 5.7 paid, it shows that Viacom Group is optimistic about Face. Is it true?……"

He thought of a possibility that he didn't want to see. Could Face really develop?

Then he stood up abruptly.

By the way, isn’t there a company at Harvard that is very similar to Face?!

If you take it and talk to Viacom Group, you will definitely make a lot of money!

Well, this time I want to keep a certain share and see how far a website like this can develop! ?

However, when he excitedly found the Winklevoss brothers, he was shocked to find that the website in their hands had been sold to Face

Falk. I was fooled!

It’s not that Martin is not optimistic about it, he is very optimistic about it!

Eduardo Saverin suddenly realized, and then he started to cry in his heart.

For people like them, if they don’t make money, they lose money!
