Chapter 1492 The Top Party Invitation

At the reception, I thought that Li Mu and Anne Hathaway were an amazing match, as well as Sequoia Capital's eo, stevejohnson.

stevejohnson, who has been chatting with several bigwigs in the capital circle, has an idea in his heart after seeing the intimacy of Li Mu and Anne Hathaway unconsciously from a distance.

stevejohnson has been keeping an eye on Li Mu, and seeing that he finished chatting with Spielberg and Anne Hathaway, stevejohnson walked up to Spielberg with a glass of wine and said to him with a smile after they left. : "Steven, my friend is gone!"

Spielberg looked up to see him, smiled in surprise and said, "Hello, Mr. Johnson, it's really been a long time! I didn't expect you to be here today."

stevejohnson smiled slightly and said, "Muye Technology is a partner of Sequoia. How could I not come to support such a big event."

After that, stevejohnson looked at Spielberg and asked, "I heard that you have been filming in Huaxia recently?"

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

Immediately, Spielberg introduced to stevejohnson: "Leonardo, Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway, you should all know?"

"Of course." stevejohnson said with a smile: "The three are very famous in Hollywood, and they are all actors I like very much."

Spielberg hurriedly introduced to the other three: "stevejohnson, eo of Sequoia Capital."

As Spielberg was introducing himself, stevejohnson shook hands with the three of them one by one. People from Hollywood are very familiar with politicians and capitalists, so the three of them have heard of the name stevejohnson.

Unlike eo, a professional manager in most companies, stevejohnson is also one of the shareholders of Sequoia Capital. In addition, he also owns a number of private equity funds with outstanding achievements and is very prestigious in the capital market. A person, just looking at his own worth, may be a few tenths of Li Mu's, but the key is that he has strong resources in the capital market, as long as he opens his mouth, a lot of hot money will take the initiative to gather to him, anytime, anywhere. No one dares to underestimate the cash of billions or even billions of dollars.

Several people greeted stevejohnson one after another, and stevejohnson responded very politely, and then focused on Anne Hathaway.

"Miss Anne, can I chat with you in private?"

Anne Hathaway didn't know why stevejohnson met for the first time, so she wanted to have a private chat with herself, but out of courtesy, she nodded slightly.

stevejohnson apologized to the other three, then walked with Anne Hathaway to an unoccupied corner, and then stevejohnson asked her: "Miss Anne, I wonder if you are interested in going to London for a private meeting in the middle and late next month. Party?"

"Party?" Anne Hathaway looked at stevejohnson in amazement, with a puzzled look on her face.

stevejohnson explained: "This party is a castle-tie held every three years by members of the British royal family and some famous British aristocrats. In addition to the royal family and aristocrats from all over the world, there are also some well-known big families and enterprises. Home, this party is usually about five days, and we will be responsible for arranging all the necessities of life."

-tie literally translates to black tie, but in the upper class, this represents a party specification. Generally, both men and women must dress up to attend. In the upper class, except for public occasions, this kind of party It is the highest specification.

And this kind of -tie organized by the British royal family and aristocrats, Anne Hathaway had heard a little when she was in Hollywood. It is said that this kind of party can be called the world's top upper-class party. invited to attend.

After all, the European royal family and nobles themselves are somewhat out of tune with the culture of the United States. The former has been looking down on the latter for several centuries, and stevejohnson suddenly invited herself, which really made her feel incredible.

But stevejohnson himself is British, from a powerful old noble family in the UK. He has participated in this world's top-tie since he was an adult, and he has not fallen once so far. With his identity, he is also qualified enough to invite his own Friends go to the party, so if he invites Anne Hathaway, then Anne Hathaway can get the chance to join the party.

Seeing that Anne Hathaway was very surprised, stevejohnson explained: "Miss Anne, to tell you the truth, the reason why I want to invite you is because I am also going to invite Li Mu, and I think if you will be there, Li Mu will accept it. The chances of invitations will also be higher.”

Anne Hathaway then realized that stevejohnson was a drunkard and not drinking alcohol.

However, instead of feeling disappointed, she felt a burst of joy in her heart. What stevejohnson meant in his words seemed to be that he felt that Li Mu would accept the invitation because of himself. Is there any basis for him to say that?

Seeing that Anne Hathaway didn't speak for a long time, stevejohnson's face turned red, and he became more aware, and he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Miss Anne, 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, and if he still refuses, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go, I can understand it completely, and I will definitely keep it 100% confidential."

Anne Hathaway hesitated for a moment, then nodded shyly, and said, "Mr. Johnson, if Li Mu agrees, I'll be fine..."

...

Li Mu didn't pay attention to stevejohnson. He was holding a wine glass and found Mark Zuckerberg who was alone in the corner.

In this reception, besides Li Mu, the youngest was Mark Zuckerberg, and his personality was not as outgoing as Li Mu, so it seemed a little out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Everyone else was chatting in groups. Mark Zuckerberg was holding a non-alcoholic drink made from a glass of soda water. Standing alone in a corner, he was doing nothing and looking around with an embarrassed smile on his face.

For Mark Zuckerberg, he was like a child who broke into an adult club, and his most obvious experience was that he was at a loss.

When Li Mu chatted with Spielberg and a few people, he could see the dilemma of Mark Zuckerberg in the distance. After chatting with them for a while, he made an excuse to leave temporarily and came with a glass of whisky. In front of Mark Zuckerberg.

When Mark Zuckerberg was bored, Li Mu suddenly appeared in his sight and asked him with a smile, "Hey Mark, what are you doing standing alone?"

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

Li Mu asked him, "Why don't you chat with other people?"

Mark Zuckerberg laughed at himself and said, "I feel like I shouldn't be able to chat with them."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Whether we can chat together, we will know after we chat first."

After that, Li Mu added: "Many of the people who come here today are very famous people in Silicon Valley, and there are also very famous bigwigs in the venture capital industry. If you get to know them well, you may be able to get better deals in many places in the future. Much help."

Mark Zuckerberg nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll try to chat with them later."

Li Mu instructed: "It's better not to drink non-alcoholic beverages when chatting with others on such occasions. A glass of wine will appear more sincere, and it will also shorten the actual age gap."

Mark Zuckerberg said hurriedly: "Then I'll go get a drink later."

Li Mu waved his hand, called a waiter directly, and said to him, "Bring this gentleman a glass of whisky."

"Okay, Mr. Li." The waiter quickly walked over with a glass of about a quarter of whiskey, and handed it to Mark Zuckerberg.

Li Mu picked up the glass and touched the glass in Mark Zuckerberg's hand slightly, then took a sip and asked him, "How is faebook lately?"

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly took a sip of whiskey. He coughed for a long time until his face flushed. He said to Li Mu, "faebook has developed very fast recently. According to your reminder, Mr. Li, We have deliberately strengthened and emphasized the function of finding people on faebook. This function has been greatly recognized by users. Now our registered users have exceeded 5 million, and our daily active users have exceeded 600,000. Compared with the last time you went to Harvard, Fivefold."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It seems that you have found a way to go viral. If you continue to work hard, I think you will have at least 2-3 million daily active users by the end of the year."

Mark Zuckerberg said: "The rapid promotion also consumes a lot of funds. I am still exploring the way to realize the realization. If there is no good realization channel, the speed of development must be reasonably rational."

Li Mu asked him, "How much did you spend?"

Mark Zuckerberg said: "You and your fund have invested a total of 6.02 million. So far, 3.3 million have been spent, and there is 2.7 million left."

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

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

Li Mu nodded and said, "If I'm worried about money and think it's totally unnecessary, I can make another round of investment as faebook's pre-a round of financing."

Mark Zuckerberg said: "If I keep burning money, I always feel a little unsure, because the larger the number of users, the higher the cost of the enterprise. If the realization cannot keep up, it is easy to fall into a situation where the capital chain is broken. ."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "The current Internet social networking is like the time before the real estate outbreak, not only the business growth rate is extremely fast, but the capital recognition is also rapidly increasing, what you have to do now is to take money in at all costs to exchange. It doesn’t matter if the real estate becomes a real estate, even if you spend all your money, even if you have a lot of debt, because once the real estate skyrockets, you can immediately make huge profits.”

Mark Zuckerberg hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Mr. Li, please set a valuation for faebook, and then increase the capital according to the valuation. If I can't come up with cash, I will dilute the shares instead of contributing."

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I will directly add five million US dollars of investment in this round. You don't need to dilute the shares, nor do you need to make any changes to the share structure. After you get the money, just open it up and do it. As for the realization, it will be temporarily. Don't worry too much."

Mark Zuckerberg hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, this is really unfair to you. Since you invest more, it is natural for me to dilute the shares..."

Li Mu smiled, patted his shoulder lightly, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, the company is owned by me, so listen to me on this kind of issue."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu said again: "Come on, I'll take you to meet Larry Page. You two can get to know each other. In the future, faebook can directly guide accurate traffic from Google's search engine. If you have any needs, just ask him."
