Chapter 1492

At the reception, I thought Li Mu and Anne Hathaway had a wonderful match, and Steve Johnson, CEO of Sequoia Capital.

Steve Johnson, who has been chatting with several capital circle tycoons, had an idea when he saw the intimate actions of Li Mu and Anne Hathaway unconsciously.

Steve Johnson kept an eye on Li Mu. He saw that he had finished talking with Spielberg and Anne Hathaway. After they left, Steve Johnson came to Spielberg with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Steven, my friend is gone!"

Spielberg looked up to see him and said with a surprised smile, "Hello, Mr. Johnson, I haven't seen you for a long time! I didn't expect you to be here today. "

Steve Johnson smiled and said, "Makino technology is a partner of Sequoia. How can I not win such a big event?"

After all, Steve Johnson looked at Spielberg and asked, "I heard you've been making movies in China recently?"

"That's right." Spielberg nodded and said, "I've been busy shooting movies lately."

Then Spielberg introduced to Steve Johnson, "Leonardo, Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway, you know all that?"

"Of course." Steve Johnson said with a smile, "the three famous actors in Hollywood are all my favorite actors."

"Steve Johnson, CEO of Sequoia Capital," Spielberg quickly introduced to the other three

With Spielberg introducing himself, Steve Johnson shook hands with three people one by one. People from Hollywood know politicians and capitalists very well, so Steve Johnson has heard of all three of them.

Different from the CEO of professional manager in most enterprises, Steve Johnson himself is one of the shareholders of Sequoia Capital. In addition, he also has a number of successful private equity funds. He is very famous in the capital market. For a person like him, his own value may be one tenth of Li Mu's, but the key is that he is powerful in the capital market Resources, as long as he opens his mouth, a large amount of hot money will come to him actively, and can gather hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of cash anytime and anywhere, no one can despise it.

Several people said hello to Steve Johnson, and Steve Johnson responded politely one by one, then focused on Anne Hathaway.

"Miss Anne, can I have a word with you in private?"

Anne Hathaway didn't know why Steve Johnson wanted to talk to herself in private when she first met, but she nodded gently out of politeness.

Steve Johnson apologized to the other three people, and then walked to the corner with Anne Hathaway. Then Steve Johnson asked her, "Miss Anne, do you have any interest in going to a private party in London in the last half of next month?"

"Party?" Anne Hathaway looked at Steve Johnson in surprise. She didn't know why.

Steve Johnson explained: "this party is a castle black tie held every three years by members of the British royal family and some local aristocrats. Apart from the Royal aristocrats from all over the world, there are also some famous families and entrepreneurs. This party usually lasts for about five days, and we will be responsible for arranging all the food, clothing, housing and transportation."

Black tie is the literal translation of black tie, but in the upper class society, it represents a kind of Party specification. Generally, black tie is a kind of party with the highest specification in the upper class society, except for public occasions.

The black tie and Anne Hathaway held by the British royal family and nobility have heard a little while in Hollywood. It is said that this kind of party can be regarded as the top social gathering in the world, and has never heard of any Hollywood stars invited to attend.

After all, the European royal aristocracy itself is a little out of line with the Native American culture. It has been several centuries since the former failed to see the latter. Steve Johnson suddenly invited herself, which is really amazing to her.

But Steve Johnson himself is an Englishman, born in an old aristocratic family with extraordinary strength, the world's top black tie. He has been attending since he was an adult, but he hasn't failed once. As a man like him, he has enough qualifications to invite his friends to the party. So if he invites Anne Hathaway, Anne Hathaway can get A chance to party.

When Steve Johnson saw Anne Hathaway, he was very surprised and explained: "Miss Annie, to be honest, I want to invite you because I am also going to invite Li Mu, and I think if you will be there, Li Mu will be more likely to accept the invitation."Anne Hathaway realized that Steve Johnson was drunk, not drunk.

However, instead of feeling disappointed, she felt a burst of joy. In Steve Johnson's words, it seems that he thought that Li muhui accepted the invitation because of himself. Is there any basis for him to say so?

When Steve Johnson saw Anne Hathaway for a long time, he didn't speak, but his face turned red. He knew better. He hit the railway while it was hot. "Miss Annie, you don't have to be too embarrassed. I have a meeting with Li Mu tonight. If you want, I can tell him that you will be there first. If he refuses, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go. I can fully understand it And I will keep it 100% secret. "

Anne Hathaway hesitated for a moment, nodded her head in embarrassment, and said, "Mr. Johnson, if Li Mu agrees, I have no problem..."

……

Li Mu didn't pay attention to Steve Johnson. He was carrying his glass and finding Mark Zuckerberg, who was alone in the corner.

In addition to Li Mu, Mark Zuckerberg was the youngest in the party, and his personality was not as outgoing as Li Mu, so it seemed that he was a little out of line with the surrounding environment.

People were chatting in groups. Mark Zuckerberg was standing in a corner with a soda made of nonalcoholic beverage, doing nothing and smiling awkwardly.

For Mark Zuckerberg, he was like a kid who broke into an adult club. What he didn't know was his most obvious experience.

Li Mu saw Mark Zuckerberg's dilemma in the distance when he was chatting with several Spielberg people. After a short chat with several people, he found an excuse to leave temporarily and came to Mark Zuckerberg with a glass of whiskey.

When Mark Zuckerberg was bored, Li Mu suddenly appeared in his eyes and asked him with a smile, "Hey mark, what's a fool standing for?"

Seeing Li Mu, Mark Zuckerberg scratched his head in a hurry, smiled shyly and said, "I didn't do anything, I was just dazed."

Li Mu asked him, "why don't you talk to other people?"

Mark Zuckerberg laughed at himself and said, "I feel like I can't talk to them."

Li Mu said with a smile, "if we can talk together, we need to talk before we know."

After all, Li Mu said: "today, many people who are very famous in Silicon Valley, and the very famous tycoons in venture capital industry, if you are familiar with them, you may be able to get more help in many places in the future."

Mark Zuckerberg nodded softly and said, "I'll try to talk to them later."

Li Mu asked: "when chatting with others on this occasion, it's better not to drink non-alcoholic beverages. It's more sincere to bring a glass of wine, and it can also shorten the actual age gap."

Mark Zuckerberg said in a hurry, "I'll get a drink later."

Li Mu waved, called a waiter directly, and said to him, "bring this gentleman a whiskey."

"Good Mr. Li." The waiter quickly came up with a glass of about a quarter of whiskey and handed it to Mark Zuckerberg.

Li Mu holds up his glass, touches Mark Zuckerberg's glass slightly, then takes a sip and asks him, "how is Facebook?"

Mark Zuckerberg took a quick sip of whiskey. He coughed for half a day, but his face turned red. He said to Li Mu, "Facebook has been developing rapidly recently. According to President Li's reminder, we deliberately strengthened and emphasized the function of finding people on Facebook, which has been greatly recognized by users. Now our registered users have After more than five million, the daily life is more than 600000, which is five times more than the last time you went to Harvard. "

Li Mu said with a smile, "it seems that you have found a way to spread the virus. Keep up your efforts, I think you can have at least 2-3 million daily users by the end of the year."

Mark Zuckerberg said: "the rapid promotion, the consumption of capital level is also very large, I am still exploring the way of realization, if there is no good realization channel, then the development speed must be reasonable."

Li Mu asked him, "how much did it cost?"

Mark Zuckerberg said: "you and your fund have invested 6.02 million yuan in total. So far, 3.3 million yuan has been spent and 2.7 million dollars remain."

Li Mu asked again, "how many employees are there at this stage?"

"Thirty three." "Most of these people are promoters and technical teams," Mark Zuckerberg said

Li Mu nodded and said, "if I'm worried about money, I don't think it's necessary at all, I can add another round of investment as Facebook's pre-A round of financing."

Mark Zuckerberg said: "if I burn money all the time, I always feel that I have no bottom in my mind, because the larger the number of users, the higher the cost of the enterprise. If the cash can't keep up with it, it's easy to fall into the situation of breaking the capital chain."Li Mu smiled and said: "the current Internet social networking is like before the real estate outbreak, not only the business growth is very fast, but also the capital recognition is rising rapidly. What you have to do now is to take money at all costs and exchange it for real estate, even if you spend all your money, even if you are heavily in debt, it doesn't matter, because once the real estate boom, you can get it immediately Huge profits. "

Mark Zuckerberg hesitated a little, nodded and said: "Mr. Li, please set a valuation for Facebook, and then increase capital according to the valuation. If I can't get cash, I'll dilute shares instead of capital contribution."

Li Mu waved his hand and said: "this round, I will directly add $5 million in investment. You are not required to dilute the shares, nor do you need to make any changes in the share structure. After you get the money, just open it up and do it. As for the realization, you don't need to worry too much for the time being."

Mark Zuckerberg said: "Mr. Li, it's really unfair to you. Since you invest more, it's natural for me to dilute my shares..."

Li Mu smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "less nonsense. I own the company, so I'll take care of this problem."

After that, Li Mu said: "let's go. I'll take you to see Larry Page. You two know that in the future, Facebook can directly conduct traffic from Google search engine. If you need anything, just talk to him."
