Chapter 1399 Return to the Truth

The summer in Boston is not as comfortable as in Silicon Valley. Winter and summer are long, and spring and autumn are short. Just after coming out of the long cold and snowy winter, spring suddenly goes away, and in the blink of an eye it is hot, humid and long summer.

Eduardo Saverin put his suit jacket on his shoulders and walked out of Zuckerberg's dormitory disappointedly. He happened to see Zuckerberg, whom he had been missing, walking up.

"I said, where have you been? Do you have any friends besides me?"

During his time at school, Zuckerberg was, to put it mildly, quite deficient in social aspects - which I have to say is a huge irony.

"No, I noticed that you have changed a lot. Why are you walking so slowly now? Do you have a girlfriend?"

He looked at Zuckerberg again, "Looking at how distracted and absent-minded you are, you couldn't possibly have met someone you really like but don't dare to confess, right?"

This guy immediately became interested, "Tell me, which department? Hey, what's so secretive about this? I can definitely help,"

He followed Xiao Zha into the house, "How far has it gone? Have you introduced yourself to her? Do you want me to be your wingman?"

There's nothing I can do about it, it's always like this in college.

"I just took a walk by the river," Zuckerberg said sadly, sitting down at the table and turning on the computer as usual.

"It's really abnormal," Saverin walked around him. "You've always walked so fast, but today you're so slow. And you always go for a walk by the river. Also, when did you turn on the computer before, and you saw nothing? Don’t you look at it?”

The person who knows Zuckerberg best at Harvard is Saverin.

"I'm thinking about something," Zuckerberg clicked the mouse with his right hand.

"Be a little joking, man," Saverin was lying on a bed. "Using your favorite words from the Aeneid, wealth favors the brave. Facebook already belongs to the brave Mr. Feng. It's useless to think too much."

"That's not what I was thinking about," Zuckerberg said.

Of course he knew that it was useless to think about it now. To be honest, it was quite unexpected that Feng Yiping and Facebook were interested in him.

Moreover, Saverin's previous analysis was correct. Even if he rushed the initial version to launch before Facebook, it would not help.

Feng Yiping's personal strength and the resources he can mobilize for promotion cannot be matched by their team of several college students. The final result can only be a complete failure. It may not even be popularized by Stanford. It is not as comforting as it is now. .

"That's not it? But you look like this," Saverin rolled his eyes, "Wait, let me guess,"

He lay on his side on the bed with great interest, closing his eyes and meditating. For a long time, he said, "I understand."

Zuckerberg glanced at him sideways. Saverin naturally knew what he was thinking.

However, what came out of the guy's mouth was, "I still want my girlfriend, hahaha,"

But Zuckerberg really has no intention of joking with him right now.

Saverin stopped laughing knowingly, "Well, it's definitely going to Silicon Valley or not. Do you still have to guess?"

Yes, do you still need to guess about this?

After coming back from Silicon Valley, every time I think about the group of people at Facebook over there and its recent rapid development, they really can't sit still in the classroom.

"But what I said is right. To you, isn't Facebook just a girlfriend that you can almost have?"

Saverin's metaphor is quite appropriate.

Zuckerberg is indeed obsessed with Facebook now.

"I increasingly feel that staying at Harvard for a few more years is really not interesting," Zuckerberg said.

"Yes, I think so too," Saverin lay on the bed, "and there is no need. By the way, how many times have we gone to the classroom or the library now?"

"So, I decided to go to Silicon Valley," Zuckerberg said. "That's where I wanted to be."

"When are you going?" Saverin sat up from the bed with a swipe, "I have been waiting for you to say this for a long time. Have you told Mike?"

The last time they went back to Harvard, Mike conveyed Feng Yiping’s advice, “The door of Facebook is open to you at any time.”

"The question I'm thinking about now is, what can we bring to Facebook in order to gain a foothold on it?"

"That's a problem," Saverin said. "Look, Facebook is running very well without us. If you really want to develop well, you really have to think about what we can do for it."

Yes, what can be done? Zuckerberg is worried about this now.

Not to mention programming, in this regard, Facebook, which is full of talents, is really not uncommon.

"What are you doing?" Saverin tapped his forehead with his finger. "What are you doing?"

He suddenly remembered something, "Have you read the recent news, about Microsoft and Google?"

"Hey, Microsoft," Zuckerberg said with some disdain.

Microsoft's approach this time is indeed a bit disdainful.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean, you see, in addition to being a shareholder of Google, Feng now owns several high-tech companies, so I think network security will be a big problem. In this regard, you, a successful hacker, are an expert. "Saverin said.

Zuckerberg's eyes lit up, this is really a direction!

For several companies under Feng Yiping, network security is naturally very important, but judging from this incident, they have not done as good a job in this regard as product promotion.

Not only is he a hacker himself, he also knows many good hackers. If these people can be organized, their combat effectiveness will be absolutely no problem. Guys like them who are good at breaking through the firewalls of other websites will naturally know how to prevent them. Attacks by others.

This does seem to be a direction. "I'll think about what to do right away," Zuckerberg said happily.

Saverin's proposal can be said to have restored another feature of Facebook.

Facebook was originally a company with a strong hacker atmosphere.

…………

At this time, Feng Yiping was taking the initiative to summon another original founder, Hastings.

The place where they met was naturally not on Netflix.

Seeing Hastings on Netflix at this time will make many people feel embarrassed.

Not in NEXTDOOR either. There are many people there, like Mike, who don't have a good look on Hastings right now.

They are now on a yacht at sea. It is Feng Yiping's opinion to meet here. He actually hopes to have a good talk with Hastings in such an environment where no one will disturb him. How can this be a talent? .

"Thank you Feng, thank you for giving me a chance so quickly." To say that Hastings is indeed a character, his attitude today compared with before, it is really a world of difference, but it is not the same. It would make Feng Yiping think he was flattering.

And it seems that Hastings himself is quite adaptable to this change.

In other words, Feng Yiping originally wanted Hastings to wait a few more days and let him understand how he felt after being forced to wait for such a long time.

However, he was worried that Hastings wouldn't be able to wait any longer and would use his tracking skills again.

There are already enough people following him now, there is no need to add one more like him.

Looking at Hastings, who was sitting upright next to him, with a straight waist and dressed very suitable for job hunting, Feng Yiping felt a little emotional when thinking about how he looked a few months ago.

"Hastings, I've wanted to see you for a long time, but you know, I've been busy from last year to now," Feng Yiping said.

"I know, I know," Hastings is now particularly considerate. "From then to now, you have so many things to be busy with,"

Since he was idle at home, Hastings had been paying special attention to Feng Yiping's actions. Even Jobs praised Feng Yiping's actions since his successful acquisition of Netflix, which naturally opened Hastings' eyes.

This is why he can keep his attitude so low now and is quite used to it. If he was still suspicious and unconvinced of Feng Yiping before, now he really admires Feng Yiping.

There is no longer any doubt about the conditions Feng Yipingyuan promised.

This youngest but most successful entrepreneur he has ever come into contact with does have many things that he deserves to look up to.

"Thank you for your understanding," Feng Yiping said. "You may not know that I am very sorry to have reached that point in the end. You know, I have always insisted and emphasized that the Netflix team led by you is what I feel most about Netflix." A place of interest,"

There are some things that, whether you like it or not, you have to say them openly.

"Then it's my own fault," Hastings said. The goatee on Hastings' chin curled up. "Randolph was right. Later, I really didn't put the company's interests first."

It was indeed not easy for him to say these words in front of Feng Yiping.

"You know, Randolph himself has actually mentioned to me more than once that he is not the most suitable for the current position and suggested that I'd better let you come back,"

"Huh?" Hastings lost his composure for the first time today.

Feng Yiping looked at him with certainty.

Hastings was stunned for a while, turned his eyes to the side, looked at the deep sea in front of him, and murmured, "Randolph, he is really much better than me,"

Feng Yiping nodded slightly, "So, this is my arrangement. You will return and take charge of Netflix again, and Randolph will be in charge of YouTube. However, you know the relationship between Netflix and YouTube in the future, right?"

"I know that Netflix can actually be said to be subordinate to YouTube in many aspects in the future. I completely agree with your arrangement." Hastings did not hesitate this time, even if it actually meant that he had to obey Randolph to a certain extent. management.

This attitude made Feng Yiping very satisfied. He nodded, "Well, Hastings, welcome back,"
