Facebook headquarters, Monroe Park, California, USA.
"It's almost time, sir." A black man in a suit opened Zuckerberg's office door, pointed his wrist and said.
"Well, at once." Zuckerberg responded by nodding silently and closing the door to the office.
At this moment, in Zuckerberg's office, there is a slightly puffy white man who once again quarrels with him as soon as the door closes.
"Zach, the board is very skeptical about your latest strategic adjustment for the company." Looking at Zuckerberg's self-care arrangement of documents, he urgently continued: "oculus should not be sold when the VR field is just and hot. Zucker
Zach looked back at him and said calmly, "I should have sold oculus five years ago. Listen to Frederick, VR is not the future. VR has died suddenly. This is not its fault. The pace of the times is too fast. It is not the future."
"Not the future?" "Because of the impact of the S-2? Since 2015, oculus has defeated HTC, Samsung, Microsoft and become the industry leader. Even though VR doomsday theory prevails, oculus still accounts for 4.5% of the company's revenue until last quarter. "
"OK, let's not talk about oculus, but do you know how many people in the company are against you about your latest strategic adjustment to Facebook?" Following Zach's butt, Frederick said, "the vertical expansion of the company's business is a trend. Facebook is a world giant. Google has been spun off and reorganized to establish alphabet. It has expanded countless businesses, such as unmanned driving and smart home. This is the development of world-class giant companies. But you keep selling Facebook, which used to spend a lot of energy on acquiring, is ocul Is the next step driverless
"It's been a long time since." Zuckerberg responded.
"Listen, Zach, I admit that your decisions in the past, especially your cooperation with xlou s, are right, but this time you are really wrong. Facebook shouldn't just focus on the social sphere. Now Facebook is the social overlord. Who can shake it? This strategic decision is wrong. It will bring Facebook into the abyss, and even more will bring you into the abyss. Do you want to let the things of the Cisco couple happen to you again? "
What happened to the Cisco couple is a classic textbook case of Silicon Valley's technology circle, which was kicked out of the company by the board of directors. Zuckerberg stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the other side. Frederick was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak. Zach looked at him and said, "what do you mean? Is the board going to kick me out? "
"You know, almost everyone is against your decision." Freddy responded, motionless.
"Ha ~!" Zuckerberg suddenly laughed, wandering aimlessly, and finally staring at each other, "tell the board of directors who brought the company's market value to the second in the world, and tell them who made the value of their shares soar? Tell them who's making their money? it's me! Mark Zuckerberg
"It's not like you, Zach." "You look like a tyrant, a dictator who doesn't listen to persuasion," Frederick said dully
"You and you both think that the Google model is the future? Is that right? " Zuckerberg suddenly asked, putting down what he was doing.
"Yes! That's the future. " Freddy shrugged, nodded, and said.
Zuckerberg chuckled at his words. "When you daydream about the future, first look at the bloody facts in front of you. Look at the mighty apple. "
"What do you mean? I don't understand! " Frederick didn't understand him at all. Facebook and apple didn't mix at all.
"You know, you don't stand here like a mosquito, man." Zuckerberg said. After a pause, he said, "as long as I'm in charge of the company for a day, I'll never change the strategy I've set.". The board of directors is just a group of shortsighted people, Google model is the future of the world's giants? Yes, that's without xlous. well! If alphabet develops according to the current model, sooner or later, it will face the Colossus and compete directly with it. "
Frederick couldn't believe it. "What? The business between xlous and alphabet does not match at all. How can it be possible? "
Zuckerberg immediately asked, "before the S-1 was launched, Apple would have thought of competing with xlous s? Before panoramic vision PV is launched, IMAX will think of becoming a competitor with xlous? In the early days of the world, before the MST platform was launched, live nation would have thought that half of them had died before the battle? Do you want me to elaborate on them one by one? "
Zuckerberg fixed his eyes on each other. At this moment, Frederick was speechless by a series of questions. Zuckerberg said, "all the competitors against xlous have fallen down. Apple, live nation and even two executives are half dead. They have one thing in common. They are all products, peripherals and hardware Yes. " He looked at the speechless Frederick and asked, "in the face of xlou s, cooperation and competition, what do you think I should choose?"Zuckerberg turned to document and said, "I don't want to be a laughing stock in the industry, okay? Facebook realized the success of xlous. In the end, * * lous was defeated. I can't afford to lose this person, and Facebook can't take this risk. Do you understand? "
"Xlous going into alphabet related businesses?" Asked Frederick.
"I don't know what Ren Hong is interested in, but I know he has never been interested in content, and the world knows that he is not interested in content." Zach looked back at him and said, "I don't need to know what he's interested in. I just follow a little bit. I don't do what he's interested in. What he's not interested in is what I want to do."
"But we've done our best in social life! What the company needs is gain, what the board needs is gain! " Said Frederick.
Extreme? Zuckerberg laughed in his heart. Ren Hong contacted him personally and told him that the project plan had made breakthrough progress. Zuckerberg knew that the Internet was going to change soon. Is it still extreme? All this is just beginning. He certainly won't tell him the real purpose of his trip to China. The ostensible meeting is just a cover up for the world.
This trip to China is the biggest turning point since Facebook was founded. No one understands him and he can't tell them. Therefore, it gives people a sense of tyrant and dictator, but Zach doesn't care. Time will prove everything.
