Chapter 1203 The Big Pit Dug by Li Mu

In Li Mu's eyes, Mark Zuckerberg is equivalent to Zhang Xiaolong in Tengxun Ma's eyes.

Li Mu will give him all the space, freedom, respect and rewards, but all of this must be based on the premise that he does not deviate from his own system.

Li Mu firmly believes that there are no real friends and partners in the shopping mall, and everyone's service object is themselves. In this case, even if he is Mark Zuckerberg's Bole, he cannot ensure that he will always be in his own system. Internal service.

Therefore, the more potential Mark Zuckerberg shows, the more Li Mu hopes to keep him in his core team for a long time.

Out of this plan, Li Mumeng came up with a new cooperation plan. He planned to personally invest $5 million in Mark Zuckerberg, accounting for 49% of the shares, and the company was valued at $10.2 million. At the same time, he would use Makino Technology took the lead, Taobao Technology and Alipay followed the investment method, using these three companies to jointly establish an investment fund, and then use this fund to invest $1.02 million in Mark Zuckerberg, accounting for 10% of the project.

In this way, Li Mu accounts for 49%, his own fund accounts for 10%, and Mark Zuckerberg does not have to pay a penny, accounting for 41%.

It seems that Mark Zuckerberg is taking advantage of it, but for entrepreneurs with a little ambition, they are not willing to sacrifice a large amount of equity in the angel round, and most of the entrepreneurs' shares to angel investors will not exceed more than 30%, not to mention losing its controlling position as soon as it comes up.

Mark Zuckerberg is so smart, and he has a deep enough vision and a long-term vision. Such a person, as long as he thinks about his own project and has confidence in the project, even if the angel round takes a little less money to do it slowly. Will not be willing to directly sell most of the shares to investors at the beginning.

Li Mu now values ​​Mark Zuckerberg's idea at $10.2 million, but as long as Mark Zuckerberg has confidence in his project, he will at least have the confidence to achieve a valuation of $100 million, so that For him, the more shares he sacrificed now, the greater the benefits he will lose in the future.

Li Mu believes that if he proposes this plan directly to Mark Zuckerberg, even if Mark Zuckerberg worships him again, he will never agree.

Therefore, if you want to achieve this goal, you have to use strategies to slowly mediate.

At this time, a light suddenly flashed in Li Mu's mind.

With the emergence of this aura, many of Li Mu's ideas became clearer, and a new script built around Mark Zuckerberg was quickly born in his mind.

So, Li Mu looked at Mark Zuckerberg inscrutable,

He smiled, but said nothing.

Mark Zuckerberg was a little confused by Li Mu's strange eyes. He didn't understand why Li Mu looked at him with such eyes. Could it be that there was some huge bug in his words just now?

Just wondering, Li Mu suddenly put away his smile and said with a sigh: "Mark, there is an old saying in China that heroes see the same thing. , it didn't disappoint me!"

A sudden sentence made Mark Zuckerberg even more confused. Is Li Mu praising himself? Awesome people can always think of it together, does he think he is also awesome? Did he go with himself? Does he also have the idea of ​​making this kind of social product?

Mark Zuckerberg was confused, but also frightened.

He couldn't help but ask Li Mu, "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

Li Mu smiled slightly and asked him, "Since your project was inspired by Fae-Books, what kind of name do you plan to give this product?"

Mark Zuckerberg blurted out: "I think it's called Faebook. It's simple and straightforward and easy to understand, because what I want to do is a photo-based page social product, and in the photo, the most important thing is Fae."

Li Mu nodded and said with an expert tone with a smile: "Mark, although you are very smart, you are still a little tender when you do things."

Mark Zuckerberg asked in surprise: "Mr. Li, what are you referring to?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Let me ask you, if I want to buy a house in Manhattan, what is the first thing I need to confirm?"

Mark Zuckerberg blurted out: "The first thing to confirm should be your own needs, such as what kind of house you want."

"No, No, No!" Li Mu stretched out his right index finger, shook it gently, and then said, "The first thing to confirm is whether there are any houses for sale in Manhattan."

"Oh yes! Mr. Ma, you are right..." Mark Zuckerberg nodded suddenly, then scratched his head and asked him: "But I still don't understand, what have I overlooked in the Facebook project? "

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled, spit out a word: "Domain name!"

"Domain name?!" Mark Zuckerberg realized instantly and blurted out: "My God, I forgot to confirm the situation of the domain name, God, this is indeed my negligence!"

Having said this, Mark Zuckerberg said with a glimmer of hope: "The word Faebook should not be used very often, it should not be preemptively registered, and if the Facebook domain name has been registered, I think the purchase price should not exceed $10,000, which should still be acceptable in this price range.”

Li Mu snorted and said, "It depends on who owns the domain name. If it is in the hands of ordinary people, a domain name registered for more than ten dollars can be sold for ten thousand dollars. It is indeed very attractive, and it is difficult to refuse. What to do with people who are short of money?"

Seeing Mark Zuckerberg's stunned expression, Li Mu said again: "For example, if the Facebook domain name is in my hands and I don't want to sell it to you, what would you do?"

Mark Zuckerberg felt that Li Mu was making things difficult for him, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I will settle for the next best thing and register a TheFaebook domain name."

Li Mu's expression was aggressive, and he asked him again: "What if TheFaebook is also in my hands?"

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg felt that Li Mu was really trying to make things difficult for himself, but he still answered patiently: "Then I will sign up for thatfaebook!"

Li Mu asked again: "What if thatfaebook is also in my hands?"

Mark Zuckerberg felt like he was being played with, and his unconvincing temper was inspired, and retorted: "I can use countless combinations of words to match Facebook, you can't register all the domain names that contain Facebook. ."

Li Mu nodded: "Although I said so, but if you lose the domain name of Facebook., then you will lose the most important network entrance. If you lose the domain name of TheFaebook., then you will be more passive. , unless you change your product plan, change your name to Faewall or something else, your Facebook project will always be flawed, a natural, irreversible disability."

After speaking, Li Mu's expression and voice became serious, and he continued: "What I'm talking about is only a situation where the domain name is squatted, and what's more serious is that if the person who squatted the domain name has the same product plan as you , what should you do at that time? With the same product planning, but others have the best domain name, wouldn’t you be more passive at that time?”

Mark Zuckerberg nodded again and again: "I understand Mr. Li, your education is right, I will check the domain name immediately after I go back, and try to register the domain name. If the domain name is squatted, I will register and replace it. Domain name, while contacting the owner of the domain name to see if he is willing to transfer it.”

Li Mu smiled and said, "This kind of thing is as soon as possible and never too late. Just wait a moment, I'll ask my assistant to bring the computer over."

With that said, Li Mu called Li Ziwei and asked her to bring her laptop.

A minute later, Li Ziwei carried Li Mu's computer bag to the reception room where Li Mu and Mark Zuckerberg were.

In this era before WiFi was really born, a world-class school like Harvard had network cable interfaces all over the school. There were multiple network cable interfaces in the reception room where Li Mu and Mark Zuckerberg chatted.

After Li Mu's laptop was directly connected to the network, he handed the computer to Mark Zuckerberg and said with a smile, "Just check it now."

Mark Zuckerberg nodded. Although it was a Chinese Windows system, he still opened IE according to the icon and typed it in the URL bar.

The best way to test whether a domain name is in the registered state is to check directly on the website where the domain name is registered, but that operation is relatively troublesome. Mark Zuckerberg was very impatient because of what Li Mu said, so he used the most direct method. Open the domain name you want to register in IE. If the domain name can be opened to a certain page, even if it is just a sales prompt, it proves that the domain name has been registered.

If the domain name cannot open any page, but cannot find the status of the server, it may not be registered for the time being. In this case, go to further confirm its true ownership.

However, the results of the domain opening quickly frustrated Mark Zuckerberg.

On the page of , there is a line like this: domain name cooperation, please contact MSN...

"Oh my God, the domain name of faebook. is indeed registered!"

After speaking, Mark Zuckerberg said again: "I will try TheFaebook..."

On the page, it also shows: domain name cooperation, please contact MSN...

Mark Zuckerberg almost collapsed. He tried thatfaebook and thisfaebook again, and each page showed the same content and the same MSN email address.

"My God! What the hell is this guy trying to do with so many Facebook-related domains!"

Looking at the pained Mark Zuckerberg, Li Mu smiled slightly: "You can add this MSN and ask."

Mark Zuckerberg said immediately: "Okay, I'll leave him a message!"

After that, he immediately opened MSN from the desktop, and while logging in to his account, he said to himself: "Oh, I haven't been on MSN for a long time, and I can't remember the password..."

After trying three times, Mark Zuckerberg finally logged in to his MSN number that he hadn't logged on for a long time. The first thing after logging in was to add the MSN left on the page as a friend, and at the same time leave a message to the other party: "You Well, I'm interested in your Facebook. If you're considering a sale, please send me an offer asap."

After speaking, Mark Zuckerberg sighed: "I hope he doesn't open his mouth..."

Li Mu laughed and said, "I don't think he would speak out loudly, because he wasn't going to sell this domain name at all."

Mark Zuckerberg was confused: "Mr. Li, why are you so sure?"

Li Mu smiled without saying a word, and then logged into his MSN, which he had not logged in for a long time. Sure enough, a message popped up in MSN, Li Mu opened the dialog box, and what he received was exactly what Mark Zuckerberg sent to him just now. of that message.

When Mark Zuckerberg saw this scene, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He was so shocked that he couldn't say a word. He never dreamed that Li Mu had dug a big hole for himself. A pit that can no longer be climbed out!
