Text Chapter 45 Success
However, Zhou Jiexi's boring efforts are still rewarding. Since his five senses are more sensitive, he can hear everything Mark says. You know, this little pockmark is notoriously fast and strange in terms of words and logical thinking ability.
You still talk to you about this for a while, but the next sentence is changed to something else for you, divergent thinking, if you react slowly, you don't know what he just said.
Because Zhou Jiexi was able to listen to his words well and give some answers, Mark also talked very attentively. The most important thing is that Zhou Jiexi also read the structure of Facebook. But there is nothing in it, and there are some uncomfortable places.
He has put forward some opinions of his own. The effect is also obvious. Mark was a little disdainful at first, what would you know as a layman. He took Zhou Jiexi's opinion as a user's experience. But he didn't expect that some of his suggestions were really useful.
Although some opinions may be superimposed with those of other companies, but he is a layman, and Mark doesn't mind. Some are great ideas that neither the company nor I have thought of. He couldn't help but want to write the code right away, and then put it up to experience it. "Wow" is exciting just thinking about it.
"Jesse, you are really great, your creativity, your brain is really great, I will ask someone to write the code now." Mark couldn't help but said excitedly.
"This is a counterfeit idea after a few hands-on. It's something from Penguin and Xinlangwang. Although I don't know where they copied it. But it's really useful. Now I'm telling you it, buddy It's original." Zhou Jiexi secretly thought happily.
"Hey, Mark, my lawyer is still here. You want my idea now without giving me any favors. I think he will have a good chat with you because of the loss his employer has suffered." Zhou Jie Xi said to Mark jokingly.
"By the way, I already knew that you kid is a copycat expert. Some of the ideas of Facebook, a company, were copied. Now you want to get my brother's idea without paying a little price? Just kidding, you really think you have a You are so narrow-minded." Zhou Jiexi secretly thought happily.
"Oh, Xuete, Jesse, you must be a profiteer and Grandet. You are also a member of the company, don't you have the heart to treat me like this?" Mark looked at Zhou Jie with a disgusted expression on his face. West said.
"Well, I don't need your reminder. I have already reminded you just now, so there is no need to talk about this issue. Besides, Mark is not the only one with a company. You are a major shareholder, no matter what, you will get it." The benefits are the most. And I'm just a minority shareholder, so you understand. Zhou Jiexi said.
"OK, then let's go to the meeting room and talk about it. Anyway, we've seen enough of it, and we're getting into today's topic." Mark said helplessly to Zhou Jiexi.
A group of people walked into the Facebook meeting room together.
The two groups were doing well separately. At this time, it was not Zhou Jiexi who was leading on Jiexi Zhou's side, but Harvey and Zhao Jie, and another team member formed the high-level negotiation team. And Zhou Jiexi watched them fight for their own interests.
During this period of time, he will not interrupt casually, so as to ensure the progress of the negotiator's plan. Even if he wanted to say something, he would whisper it to the people around him and ask him to convey it to them, trying not to change the planning procedure they had discussed.
And this time they had one more hole card, that is, no one thought that Zhou Jiexi would come up with such a good idea. This is definitely an enhancement for Facebook, not the most important, but definitely very useful, especially when it's still competing with AOL. So the slightest improvement is the weight to pull the opponent off the horse.
The negotiating team believes that Mark will not give up easily, and this is an effective blessing for the competition for interests in this negotiation.
For those who say, Mark doesn’t care about you, and I copied it, so you sue me. Just kidding, at the time of the private meeting and discussion on the source of Facebook’s creative ideas, in that case, the two slut brothers (I’ll hack them, who is called Xiao Mazi is more famous than them) can win the lawsuit, in Mark. Zuckerberg bit off a piece of fat.
What's more, there are so many people watching this time, and the lawyers are still around. If you dare to copy, no problem, Zhou Jiexi has enough time and money to fight this lawsuit with him. In the United States, the protection of intellectual property rights is very strict, and there are perfect laws. Loopholes do not mean that you can exploit them if you want. So Mark had no choice but to come to the negotiating table honestly.
The negotiation process was intense, really. Zhou Jiexi almost thought that the two hairs would start to fight, "he was still wondering if he would go up and give this arrogant little pockmark a fight if it happened later. Let him know why the flowers bloom so red."
This shows how boring Zhou Jiexi is. The other party listed piles of data, as well as recent evaluation reports, the company's profitability, etc. Zhou Jiexi, on the other hand, did not back down, and fought hard with reason, and every penny must be counted clearly. Zhou Jiexi was amazed.
The process is very long, and this is still under the condition that both parties have the intention. Otherwise, the usual negotiation would take a year or so, and a few days of tug-of-war would be required for some simple ones. Obviously it doesn't fit their character either.
The boss's decision is the employee's decision. "Who told them to pay dollars?" The negotiating teams on both sides were complaining about their bosses.
This speeded up the negotiations, and finally came up with the final plan. Zhou Jiexi invested 300 million US dollars and ideas, and got 3.2% of the shares of Facebook. Adding the original 2%, Zhou Jiexi already owns 5.2% of the shares of Facebook, and now he is considered a considerable shareholder.
In addition to the early co-founders, the number of shareholders of Facebook is only the shareholders brought by the company's financing in recent years. There are also small shares held by employees within the company.
Jessie Zhou, for joining Facebook's board of directors? He really didn't feel bad enough to cause trouble for himself. I'm living a good life, but I still come here to be a director, so it's not enough to eat. Moreover, even if you want to enter the company, it is not now. When Facebook is about to go public in two years, Zhou Jiexi is ready to transfer his shares.
