Chapter 2656: Getting More

Silicon Valley, NEXTDOOR Park, 2:20 p.m.

It was still the same land, the same buildings, the same atmosphere, and even the people passing by might still be the same people as last time.

But for Dorsey and Stone, who set foot here again, the feeling was different from the last time.

It was not too long since they last came to Facebook, so they could still clearly remember the mood when they first stepped into here, which was proud, willful, and therefore picky and indifferent.

This time, because the three founders of Twitter still in the company arrived together, they should have been more imposing, and they showed that it was indeed so, but the feeling in their hearts was completely different.

For Dorsey and Stone, this time, looking at everything around them, the emotions not long ago did not even leave a trace, only nervousness, uneasiness, a few traces of unwillingness and humiliation, which were quickly pressed into the abyss by the heavy mood, and there would never be a day to get out.

Williams, who came here for the first time, had a very clear positioning for this trip, which was a "head-down trip".

It was precisely because of this positioning that they held their heads high at this time.

But soon after, they put away such behavior, not only because the sky was dazzlingly blue, but also because the meaning contained in the eyes around them, "Where did these idiots come from?"

It is true.

Regardless of whether Feng Yiping is currently working in the park, everyone knows that this is Feng Yiping's territory. At present, how many people are qualified to pose like this in Feng Yiping's territory?

There are many people from the high-tech industry in the United States coming to the park, including those from Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, Yahoo, eBay...

Those who come are either founders or top leaders, but I have never seen them behave like this.

So, you three little transparent people, are you here to make fun of me? Are you here to entertain me? - Although the three Twitter people have actually gained a certain degree of fame, there are so many well-known entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and entrepreneurs who have appeared on various programs. Not many people in the park can recognize them.

"Ahem," Dorsey coughed, looking around and said, "I don't want to work in a place like this,"

"Yes, we Twitter should take root in downtown San Francisco," Stone supported Dorsey without hesitation.

It felt like saying this would help him regain some confidence and courage.

Williams did not agree. When they chose San Francisco as their company, it was indeed a gesture, a gesture that they wanted to let Silicon Valley people take a good look at it.

But now that it has come to this, is there any point in saying this?

Besides, he looked at the big trees on the roadside, the large lawns between the buildings, the flowers blooming on the lawns, and even the artificial lake over there...

He actually envied such an environment.

Not to mention the complete facilities in the park, including the nursery, which company in the United States with a little bit of ambition would not dream of building such a park?

Not to mention that their office space in San Francisco is only rented, which makes even less sense.

Because Dorsey and Stone had been here once before, they quickly walked into one of the buildings belonging to Facebook. When they looked at the girl at the front desk, they all showed a warm smile on their faces. "We are from Twitter and have an appointment with Zuckerberg," Dorsey said.

Stone was actively asking another girl for a badge to show their visitor status - he was quite unhappy when he was asked to wear that thing last time.

Then he felt the change, "You three don't need to wear the badge, Zuckerberg is waiting for you, please come this way,"

Stone looked at Dorsey in surprise. Does this mean that he treats us as his own people?

Dorsey was also a little happy. This was certainly a good change.

However, human hearts are always complicated, or it is not easy to satisfy them, and it is always easy to get more. Such a change that made him optimistic about this meeting also made him feel a little disappointed. He still had to be accepted by others, and it was under the premise that he did not have much initiative.

Led by the receptionist, they came to the meeting room they had been to last time. When they sat down, they saw Zuckerberg standing up from his workstation and rushing over here. Dorsey hesitated for a moment, but still chose to stand up and walk to the door, "Zuck, how are you?"

"Dorsey," Zuckerberg did not hug him, but just shook his hand, but even Williams, who met Zuckerberg for the first time, felt that things had changed.

He had heard from Dorsey and Stone how stiff this Facebook celebrity was in dealing with people, but the feeling that Zuckerberg gave him at this time was okay. It was not very enthusiastic, but at least it was not related to stiffness, and there was actually a smile on his face.

"Finally I meet you, Zuckerberg. I have heard that you are a programming genius," he said, shaking Zuckerberg's hand.

"Thank you, please sit down," especially in front of people who are not familiar with him, such greetings are not something that Zuckerberg is good at.

After sitting down, the air was a little quiet for a while, because Zuckerberg did not speak, and the three people on Twitter opposite did not speak either.

What should I say?

In fact, our intention has been made clear enough. Do we have to say directly, "Please acquire us. We agree to your terms"?

I really can't say it.

Dorsey rubbed his hands at last, "Sorry, I had something urgent to do last time I visited..."

Zuckerberg also spoke at almost the same time as him, "Feng was very happy to know that you three were coming to the park,"

He didn't mean to stop, so Dorsey had to stop.

In fact, if he didn't stop, the two companions next to him would have to stop. Didn't they hear that Feng Yiping was mentioned directly?

"Feng said that he has always admired Twitter and you three,"

The three people from Twitter smiled happily, but they almost unanimously complained in their hearts, "Always admired? Why can't we feel it at all?"

"He has always been looking forward to us working together for a common goal,"

Dorsey and the others looked much better at this time.

It can be heard that Zuckerberg must be repeating Feng Yiping's words, and Feng Yiping's words sounded really pleasant.

Instead of talking about acquisition, they said "working together for a common goal", which obviously implies equality.

This is not difficult to understand. The last time they contacted Feng Yiping, they were obviously in two camps. This time they came to Facebook again, which means that they will soon become a family, so it is naturally not as ruthless as last time.

Besides, I believe that the last time's power has left an indelible impression in their minds, and that's enough.

"So, do you have anything to say?" Zuckerberg asked.

This question made Dorsey and others feel a little at a loss for words.

"Thank you," Dorsey could only say with a smile, "We are very happy to have this..."

The laughter from the door interrupted him, "Don't bother me,"

They looked back and stood up again. Mike and Sandberg walked in with a smile, "Hello,"

They shook hands with the three people from Twitter enthusiastically, "Sorry, Shirley and I just happened to pass by, and saw that the three of you were all here, so I wanted to come over and say hello," Mike said.

"Hello, nice to meet you all. I want to say that Twitter is one of our most respected peers in the social field," Sandberg also gave them a high evaluation.

The two of them sat down on both sides of Zack. "I believe you three are no strangers to Feng. I think you will soon know more about him. He is a person who does not care about personal honor and wealth, is keen to make the world a better place, and can always come up with genius ideas. He is a partner that all entrepreneurs want to cooperate with," Sandberg said.

"From my experience, as long as Feng wants to do it, there is nothing he can't do," Mike also said.

Although this statement is obviously not rigorous, Dorsey and others have no intention of refutation. "I was just about to tell Zack that we have always admired Feng very much and are very happy to be with Feng..." His face changed. Why has something been interrupting my speech today?

"Sorry," he took out his mobile phone and turned it off without even looking at it. "We are very happy to be with Feng..."

He looked at the mobile phone that vibrated again, "Sorry,"

However, just as he was about to turn it off again, he looked surprised when he saw the incoming call, and the mobile phone was vibrating there.

Stone looked at Zach's face opposite him with an impatient look, and couldn't help but glance at his phone, then called out, "SoftBank?"
