Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 254: Mark Zuckerberg who doesn't care about money

Wenming didn't know that he had gained the faith of two more people. Before that, except for Benjamin at the Jurassic Island Institute, no one blindly trusted him.

Even if Sith and Cage had been with him.

If he knew it, he would doubt whether Sith and Cage, including Benjamin before, were true or false about their beliefs.

Because he now meets someone who doesn't give him a good look.

"For this meeting, I feel very disappointed."

The representative of Red Dot Ventures smiled and said something with no good intentions.

"I hope that this decision about Facebook's future will be voted on on the board of Facebook, instead of communicating in private, as it is now."

"I think this is a disrespect to other shareholders and a disrespect to Facebook. It is also a disrespect to investors who are optimistic about Facebook worldwide and want Facebook to go public."

"Even if you are the founder of Facebook, you can't dictate in Facebook."

After saying these words, the representative of Red Dot Ventures apologized, and then left a well-known restaurant in Silicon Valley. What remained were the calm rumblings and an angry Mark Zuckerberg.

"I never thought that this would be the case for people with red dots."

The anger was only a moment, and Mark Zuckerberg, who had grown a lot, quickly stabilized his emotions, and then said apologetically to Wenming, "When they joined the Facebook, they had already been with me. I promised not to get involved in Facebook's specific management affairs. But now, they are doing this, not only want to pull Goldman Sachs into the car, but also want to cancel my decision-making power. "

Wu Wenming patted Mark Zuckerberg's shoulder as a consolation, and then said, "That's why Red Point Ventures has a history of more than 100 years, but it still can't get on the stage."

Red Dot Venture Capital Company was actually founded in 1999. So far, the amount of funds they hold is only billions of dollars. Of the billions of dollars in investment projects executed, the most valuable is definitely 10% of Facebook shares.

If you wait until Facebook goes public, this 10% stake will definitely allow Red Dot Ventures to enjoy incredible returns.

Mark Zuckerberg smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why they chose Red Dot Ventures was because they were better touted, but they were actually just a small venture capital firm. I think that in the face of this Company, I was able to take enough initiative, but I did n’t expect ... ”

A multi-billion dollar venture capital company is, to Wenming and Mark Zuckerberg's mouth, just a small venture capital company. But this is only true for people of their level. For many people or businesses, the amount of billions of dollars is absolutely huge.

Wu Wenming picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip and said, "What you didn't expect was that they could be united with Goldman Sachs. Or that Goldman Sachs took a stake in Facebook and found them."

There is no relationship between Red Dot Ventures and Goldman Sachs, but in the capital market, the relationship is easy to establish. For the benefit, whether it is Goldman Sachs or Red Dot, they are willing to cooperate.

Mark Zuckerberg has no mood to continue drinking coffee, but said with some regrets: "I know what they are doing. If we don't go public now, but accept your $ 5 billion financing, it will be a long time. In time, Facebook does not need to be listed, and it can create benefits for them. It is impossible to use IPO to cash out, without listing, there is no market value, and the stocks in their hands can not maximize the benefits, and Facebook ’s development plans in recent years There is no way to achieve high profits. "

"Morgan Stanley wants to lead a $ 5 billion investment in Facebook, but also wants to use this financing to heat up Facebook and arrange Facebook to be listed in the shortest possible time. The purpose of Goldman Sachs is even more direct. They do not even want We completed this round of financing and instead used the IPO to cash out $ 5 billion. "

也就是说 "That is to say, their interests are the same, and it is really difficult for us to win against them."

Mark Zuckerberg sighed and continued: "They are all optimistic about the future of Facebook, but they cannot see the future of Facebook."

Wen Ming looked at Mark Zuckerberg, who was very uncomfortable, and laughed. "This is also human nature. They have been investing in Facebook for a long time, and they have not made any gains during this period. Is understandable. "

Mark Zuckerberg said lamentably: "But if you take your $ 5 billion to develop Facebook, when the market goes on Facebook a few years later, the market value will definitely create a miracle. By that time, wouldn't they be Do you earn more? "

"Why, must you make money now?"

Wu Wenming was amused by Mark Zuckerberg's complaints. According to Wen Ming's understanding of Mark Zuckerberg in another world, this person is a person who does not know how to enjoy life and is not a person who likes money.

After becoming a billionaire billionaire, he also drove a Honda Acura sedan that cost only tens of thousands of dollars. And after selling Facebook shares in 2013 to cash out $ 2.3 billion, he did change cars as everyone expected, but he still exchanged for tens of thousands of dollars of Volkswagen GTI.

Mark Zuckerberg is certainly not a key player, because he donated US $ 990 million in 2013. This is just a donation project that has made him the first American philanthropist of the year. Later, when his daughter was born, he even announced the establishment of the "Chen-Zuckerberg Plan", which is roughly to donate 99% of the Facebook shares in his possession, calculated based on the market value of Facebook at that time. That's $ 45 billion.

Unlike many rich people who donate money to charity funds in order to avoid taxes, the donation of Mark and his Chinese wife Puri Greek-Chen is not to donate money to charity funds under his control, but to set up a new company.

This way, there is no tax avoidance, because they still have to pay taxes. At the same time as paying taxes, their company is also performing philanthropy.

Mark Zuckerberg of another world didn't say why he did it, but Wenming now understands it.

觉得 He feels that it is because of the persecution of Mark Zuckerberg by other shareholders that Mark Zuckerberg's desire to control is very strong. So I do n’t want my money to be donated to charity funds, but also need to be supervised when doing charity.

Moreover, it can also let many people know that he did not donate money for tax avoidance.

"You don't like money, but you can't make other people dislike money like you."

Wu Wenming advised: "There is a saying in Huaxia that ten birds are in the forest, but the birds are in your hands. Do you understand what this means?"

Mark Zuckerberg sighed again and said, "Of course I know that my girlfriend is a Chinese, although she grew up in the United States, she also knows Chinese culture well."

Mark Zuckerberg was married in 2012. At that time, he had been talking with his girlfriend for nine years. At this time, it was 2010, and naturally he was just a girlfriend.

Wenming laughed: "Since you know, I won't explain it. The situation is clear now, they will definitely join other shareholders to prevent your decision, that is to say stop me from providing enough for your Facebook Development funds ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ So, are you ready to fight? "

Mark Zuckerberg froze for a moment, his emotions were stirred up by Wen Ming, and he was not really afraid of fighting. In the years that Facebook has developed, he has fought more than once, fought against competitors, and fought against capital. Until now, the winner is still him.

当然 "Of course I'm ready, so can I congratulate you on becoming the largest shareholder other than me on Facebook?"

Now that a decision has been made, Mark Zuckerberg is ready to rip off his face with other shareholders. At this time, Wenming, who is willing to hand over his shares to him, is definitely his firmest ally.

Qi Wenming laughed: "Not only am I ready, I also helped you contact the other two Facebook shareholders who are willing to help us."

Uh ...

Ps: Four more end, continue tomorrow, seriously, the subscription is really bleak. You ask me how miserable? A boss didn't give a reward or cast a monthly vote, but just booked the book and it ranked 84th on the fan list, which means ... I'm so worried. ) !!
