Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 258: It's good to be rich

It is difficult for a person to create a business empire. In the early days, entrepreneurs lacked not only capital, but also technology and talent.

Mark Zuckerberg is not Wenming, so after founding Facebook, he also found people who can provide him with technical assistance. When Facebook has no money, he can only give these people Facebook shares.

He and Wenming are similar to the Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg found and his roommate at Harvard, Dustin Moskovitz.

But for some reason, Dustin has left Facebook and started his own business. But even so, he still holds 6% of Facebook's shares, arguably the largest individual shareholder of Facebook after Mark Zuckerberg.

This Facebook shareholder meeting, or a board meeting, naturally came to attend.

不需要 The reason why he left Facebook does not need to be studied deeply, but since he has left Mark Zuckerberg, it shows that his relationship with Mark Zuckerberg is actually not very good. Therefore, Mark Zuckerberg did not get his approval when he made the decision to get La Wenming on the car.

Like Dustin, Savilen, another Facebook co-founder, is also a student at Harvard University. Because the family conditions are very good, he also provided a certain amount of financial assistance when creating Facebook. .

Saverin owns 10% of Facebook's shares. This was after Mark Zuckerberg's forcible reduction. It is because of this that Mark Zuckerberg's relationship with Saverin was also very bad. They even opposed the book in 2005. Public hall.

If it wasn't because he was upset with his two entrepreneurial partners, judging from the Facebook shares held by the three of them, even if it does not reach absolute control, it will be enough for Mark Zuckerberg to exercise his highest decision-making power.

Alas, there is no if in this world.

"Mr. Wenming, I think the theme of this meeting should be to discuss how Facebook should get $ 5 billion in development funding, not who do you buy Facebook equity from."

When Red Dot Ventures saw that no one raised their hands in the conference room to sell their shares to Wen Ming, he reminded: "As of now, you only have 4.1% of the shares, which is I have Facebook shares of Microsoft and Mr. Li Jiacheng. I hope that you can abide by the relevant rules and not disturb this meeting. "

的 The right to speak at the shareholders' meeting is directly related to the amount of corporate equity held by the spokesperson. The reason why Wen Ming was able to let him speak when he only owned 2.1% of Facebook shares was because of his own strength.

But now it's time for real swords. How can red dot venture capitalists continue to be jealous of Wenming's strength?

I have torn my face. Whether it's Tesla or Apple, Red Dot Ventures can never share a single copy. So, he spoke politely.

Wu Wenming sighed in his heart. He let Li Jiacheng and Microsoft give up their Facebook shares through certain transactions. He originally wanted to use this method to allow other Facebook shareholders present to accept his $ 50 billion premium valuation and transfer his shares to him.

However, none of the Facebook shareholders present seemed to be willing to accept the offer.

By this time, the shares held by him plus the shares held by Mark Zuckerberg did not allow him to take the initiative at this shareholder meeting.

Mark Zuckerberg was also a little disappointed. He looked at his two former business partners, noticed their hesitation, and had a moment of regret in his heart.

in case……

However, when Mark Zuckerberg regretted it, and Wen Ming sighed in his heart, someone spoke again.

Alas, it was Dustin who had never spoken before.

"Mr. Wenming, are you sure you are willing to give Facebook a current $ 50 billion valuation?"

This question made Wenming instantly rejoice, and Mark Zuckerberg sitting in the first place was also shocked.

Wu Wenming laughed: "Of course, I know you all think that the market value of Facebook after listing may be more than 50 billion U.S. dollars. But when will Facebook be listed?"

I gave sweet sticks another stick. This is Wen Ming's current attitude. If there is no one other than Microsoft and Li Jiacheng to answer the call, then his stick cannot be beaten.

Now that he has a third-party answer, he can very “euphemistically” tell other Facebook shareholders that I will do my best to make Facebook go public a few years later.

In a few years, even if Facebook shares are listed, how much market value can they create?

多少 How much money can this money create for several years?

之后 After this stick was beaten, Dustin was silent for a minute before he said, "I can transfer 5% of my Facebook equity to you. I want to leave 1% of my Facebook equity."

Wu Wenming finally laughed and said, "I can give you the money now."

当然 Of course, the amount of cash in his hands is not only 5 billion U.S. dollars, plus the 2 billion U.S. dollars provided by Tesla, the total amount of funds he can use at this moment is 10.7 billion U.S. dollars.

He was so difficult to get Facebook shares that he had never thought of. At this time, he had decided to suspend the idea of ​​acquiring Nokia shares and was going to do his best to acquire Facebook shares.

都是 Anyway, it's all about making money.

As for the acquisition of Nokia ... Wen Ming has a very reluctant plan in his heart, that is, the loan, if it does not work, you can only go that way.

After hearing Wu Ming's promise, Dustin immediately said, "In that case, congratulations to Mr. Wen Ming, who owns 9.1% of Facebook shares."

Since 1% of Facebook shares remain, Dustin did not leave the conference room like the people from Li Jiacheng and Microsoft. Of course, such a transaction cannot be completed in a few words.

Yun Wenming has not given money, and Dustin has not signed the equity transfer letter. However, the dialogue between the two has determined one thing, that is, Dustin has decided to stand on the front line with Wen Ming.

In other words, Wenming ’s Facebook ownership is not only 9.1%, but also 1% of Dustin.

With a stake of more than 10%, in this meeting room, Wen Ming is definitely the largest Facebook shareholder besides Mark Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg is also delighted. He doesn't know why Dustin did this, but he probably guessed a few.

After Dustin left Facebook in 2008, he has been starting his own business, but until two years later, his entrepreneurial path has not seen the direction, nor has he obtained strong financing.

At this time when the Facebook valuation reached 50 billion U.S. dollars, choosing to sell the Facebook shares in his own hands is likely to be for the development of the company he founded.

After calculating in his mind, Mark Zuckerberg's confidence increased, and he was ready to directly announce the start of voting.

But at this time, someone spoke again.

"Mr. Wenming, I don't know if you still have enough funds to receive 5% of Facebook shares?"

The speaker is also Mark Zuckerberg's entrepreneurial partner, Eduardo Saverin.

He said calmly, "If I can, I also hope to transfer 5% of your Facebook equity to you."

Savilen holds 10% of Facebook's equity, and after transferring it to Wenming, 5% remains.

Wu Wenming laughed, UU reading www. "I don't think it's a problem at all," uukanshu.com said. "If you are willing to transfer the other 5% of your Facebook equity to me, I'm willing to pay an additional $ 50 million for this."

The wealth is so rough, 10% of the 50 billion US dollar valuation is 5 billion US dollars. Wen Ming used this joke to show his attitude as an upstart, showing that he was trying to throw money on Facebook.

Savilin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wen Ming, I can only congratulate you on your Facebook equity of 14.1%."

By this time, Mark Zuckerberg took a deep breath, and his mood relaxed for a moment, because he felt that the overall situation was set.

Tong Wenming's 14.1% stake, plus the remaining 6% stake in Saverin and Dustin, and then the Facebook stake he owns.

In this meeting room, they have the final say.

Relaxed, Mark Zuckerberg looked at the smell of a smile, and could not help feeling it.
