702 Project Investment

The second update of today's super explosion, please recommend, please subscribe!

Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra came up with an idea, but they couldn't pull it off, so they turned to Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg felt that their plan was feasible, but not perfect, and then he found the second idea of ​​inspiration in the "Harvard Crimson", and "Facebook (k was born .

The development of life is indeed very interesting. I remember a line in "Forrest Gump", "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will encounter."

"Did they contact you?" Evan Bell was referring to the Winklevoss brothers.

"Many times." Mark Zuckerberg just said casually, but obviously he didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, and then said, "Harvard always said to do a unified portrait album, but they all I am worried about how to obtain relevant information, and I feel that there are legal problems. I think it is completely possible to let everyone upload the information by themselves, which will solve the problem.”

"I know what you mean, you just want to build a reliable directory based on real student information, and then through a website, make it possible for everyone to share the information. Not only upload photos, but also learn more about the campus What happened. So you established access to everyone's information, and everyone can share everything they want to share with everyone." Evan Bell also followed Mark Zuckerberg's words and continued. down.

"Yeah, that's it! My website is not like an endster or my.e, but a very basic communication tool that solves simple problems like how to keep an eye on alumni and find out what's going on with others." Mark Zuckerberg said here, paused, seemed a little hesitant, a little uncertain, "I think creating this website can also deal with some introverted students. When you're comfortable, why not build a website that makes it a little easier to connect with people?"

Evan Bell knows that Mark Zuckerberg is still insinuating himself. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg is not an introvert, he is just too straightforward and too sharp, and his thinking is too fast, so he can hardly find friends who have a common language, which makes him very frustrated. On the contrary, in the online world, expressing ideas in programming languages ​​is a lot easier for Mark Zuckerberg.

"So what? Did you build the website?" Evan Bell was not too excited, although he knew what happened next, but when he was in it, he just felt very involved. There is no feeling of admiration like before.

"Yes. I paid thirty-five dollars at the domain name company to register the 'k' for one year." Mark Zuckerberg confirmed, "I'm calling you just to see how you feel about this. project opinion."

"Opinion, what opinion?" Evan Bell asked back, "Haven't we talked about this type of website many times before? I think it can definitely be operated. Now the website is well positioned, with Log in with your real identity, and then you can follow what other alumni are doing. Of course, it is also completely feasible to use the website to socialize. I think this website could not be better.”

Mark Zuckerberg couldn't help but smile. It's really good that his creativity can be recognized by his friends, and he also hopes to promote this website in Harvard University. "Evan, do you know the reason why the management committee sent me? Because I used Harvard's network to store website data, occupying campus resources. So when we were investigated, our network logs were easily seen. This time , I think not only the domain name, but also the server needs to be rented. Including the operation of the website, you know, this requires investment. Are you interested in investing?"

Evan Bell replied casually, "Investment? Well, how much do you need me to invest?" But after that, Evan Bell realized that, on the historical trajectory, investing with Mark Zuckerberg" Facebook(k shouldn't it be Eduardo Savarin? After that, Mark Zuckerberg also fought two lawsuits with Eduardo Savalin and the Winklevoss brothers, and these two lawsuits were very noisy.

Simple information about the two lawsuits suddenly appeared in Evan Bell's mind. The lawsuit between the Winklevoss brothers and Mark Zuckerberg is mainly about the twin brothers suing Mark Zuckerberg for plagiarizing ideas. Remember that the final result of this lawsuit was that Mark Zuckerberg solved it with money. After all, the main purpose of the twin brothers' lawsuit is monetary compensation.

The lawsuit between Eduardo Savalin and Mark Zuckerberg is a little more complicated. Another figure is involved here, Sean Parker, one of the founders of Napster. At the beginning, Evan Bell seized the lawsuit between Napster and traditional record companies over the copyright issue of digital music download. Evan Bell talks about his first successful business case. So, although Evan Bell and Sean Parker don't know each other, they still have a little fate.

Sean Parker came to Mark Zuckerberg's attention when the "Facebook" developed rapidly and encountered a bottleneck.

At that time, the development of "Facebook" was severely constrained by funding, which could not be solved by individuals unless you were Bill Gates. Therefore, solving the financial problem has become a top priority. Eduardo Savalin was born into a wealthy family of Brazilian business tycoons and had a good tutor. He and Mark Zuckerberg met at the Jewish sorority, and he also became Evan Bell, Mark - One of Zuckerberg's few friends.

Eduardo-Savarin received an orthodox business education and lacked originality for the development of the Internet. When Facebook encountered difficulties, Eduardo-Savarin felt that it should place advertisements in exchange for a lot of development funds, which is also the current development model for companies including Google. Unfortunately, Mark Zuckerberg rejected this approach because he thought it was "not cool at all".

By contrast, Sean Parker, who founded Napster at the age of 19, was much more modern in his thinking. He believed that Mark Zuckerberg should go to California and seek venture capital firms. investment. In this way, it can avoid "disgusting things like implanted advertisements", and can get strong development support.

The so-called venture capital company is a venture capital company, and it can also be called a venture capital. Different from ordinary investors, venture capitalists not only invest capital, but also use their long-term accumulated experience, knowledge and information network to help business managers run their businesses better. At the same time, venture capital firms invest in companies that have not yet been publicly listed. Their interest is not in owning and operating the company, but in finally exiting and realizing investment returns.

It is conceivable that Mark Zuckerberg is very excited about Sean Parker's proposal, and it suits him too well. As a result, one of the investors, Eduardo Savalin, was running around New York, hoping to get advertising sponsorship. And Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard and came directly to California.

With the help of Sean Parker, "Facebook" began to expand its territory in major campuses in the United States, and with the help of venture capital companies, it achieved profitability without relying on advertising placement.

In the face of huge interests, Sean Parker naturally hoped that he could get more benefits, so he attracted Mark Zuckerberg, used means to calculate Eduardo Savarin, and put Eduardo - Thirty-four (34) percent of Savary's shares were diluted to only 0.03 percent (0.03), and he secretly expelled Eduardo Savary from the management of "Facebook", And Sean Parker took his place. Eduardo Savalin, who came to California from New York, was furious when he found out the truth, so Eduardo Savalin directly sued Mark Zuckerberg to court.

In a sense, Sean? Parker can also be said to be one of the triggers for this pair of friends to turn against each other and go to court.

Evan Bale doesn't want to be second to Eduardo Savarin.

In fact, Eduardo Savalin is quite sad. As one of the founders of "Facebook", he was set up to sign a set of signatures to dilute his shares, and eventually he lost his place in this social network kingdom.

For these two lawsuits, Evan Bell feels that it is normal, because this is the mall. Mark Zuckerberg is not wrong, he just made his choice in the fierce business competition, and the Winklevoss brothers can only say that they saw the opportunity, but did not grasp it; and Eduardo- Savarin is not wrong, he just missed because he is an ordinary person.

Eduardo Savalin is like most people in this society He received a traditional formal education, so when faced with the problem of the website needing funds, he naturally thought of advertising placement, But he ignores that ad placement may work on most websites, but not on Facebook. So, the mediocre Eduardo Savalin eventually lost to the unconventional Sean Parker. Out of this war without gunpowder smoke.

Not everyone can be Mark Zuckerberg, or billionaires would have filled the streets long ago. Eduardo Savalin, who follows the rules, is destined to fail to reach the heights of Mark Zuckerberg. Therefore, Evan Bell did not want to judge from a moral height, he just wanted to make this investment well.

If Evan Bell were to choose, he would also choose Sean Parker's plan, even if he didn't like this man who was full of intrigue and tricks.

"How much do you need me to invest?" When Evan Bell said this, there were countless thoughts in his head, but he still asked this sentence unswervingly.
