Chapter 706 Facebook
Huddled from left to right, Xu Liang, one dragon and two phoenixes, is naturally extremely happy.
But after enjoying it for half a month, he had to leave.
Christina and Helen were about to give birth, and their parents called twice a day to urge him to hurry up.
Although she is a foreign daughter-in-law, she is pregnant with a daughter of the old Xu family, so she cannot be treated lightly.
Therefore, at the end of October, Xu Liang flew from Xiangjiang to Silicon Valley on the Kunpeng.
"You brat, you are so useless. After all, you are pregnant with a child, and it is about to be born, so you just came here to see me. If you were not my son, I would slap you with a big mouth." "Xu Yongpei scolded.
“Don’t be angry, I won’t do it next time.”
Xu Liang said simply.
“Apologies to Christina and Helen.”
Xu Liang looked at his serious father and mother, and he could feel their intentions.
"Okay, calm down your temper. They are all my children and I like them all. Also, give me the development report I asked you to prepare."
Compared to money, what does having a child mean to you?
However, through this incident, they also discovered the unparalleled status of Xu’s father and Xu’s mother in Xu Liang’s heart.
Walked.
"Dear wives, I was wrong. I will come here early to take care of you next time."
"Yes, husband, we have never blamed you."...
"Look Look, what a wonderful wife, you should cherish her from now on." Wang Lingxiang said from the side.
Xu Yongpei couldn't help but said: "What kind of ecstasy soup did this brat of ours give to Christina and Helen? How can two women coexist with one husband and live in peace?!"
Looking at Sitting next to her were Christina and Helen, with their big bellies.
"For the sake of admitting your mistake, let's forget it today. If you do it again in the future, don't blame me for being rude...Xu Yongpei, let's go."
Now of course I won't embarrass Xu Liang over a trivial matter like sesame seeds and mung beans.
Wang Lingxiang nodded.
Without the constraints of Xu's father and Xu's mother, the two women instantly revealed their true colors.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely cherish it in the future.”
The two of them each picked up their handbags and handed the Facebook development report and the Twitter development report into Xu Liang's hands.
But the old couple said so, so he had to give face.
Xu Liang looked at them with a headache as they were at war with each other.
After Christina nodded in agreement, she took Xu Liang's right hand and placed it on her bulging belly.
It was nothing more than trying to ease his relationship with Christina and Helen.
Competing for favor and credit, each refuses to give in to the other.
When it came to business, the two of them calmed down.
"Forget it, two women are not good enough together. If seven or eight women are together, they will have to fight.
"My dear, the two little guys know that daddy Came to see them, so active. "
Christina and Helen are both smart people. They understand their relationship with Xu Liang very well. They climbed into his bed just for profit.
"That's true. But it would be great if this brat could gather so many of his wives together. It would also save us running around. I can also see Mai Mai, McDull, Xiao Jinzi, Xiao Yu'er and Yuan Bao every day. ”
Wang Lingxiang was also a little moved, but after thinking about it, she shook her head.
But they have no idea that the relationship between these two women and him is not maintained by so-called feelings at all, but by the interests involved.
“My son is amazing. Didn’t you see that South Korea’s Mingjin and Yejin are two girls who share the same husband?”
“Okay, they can speak Mandarin in less than a year. Pretty decent.”
Brave, high-spirited, and behaved very badly.
Let’s not cause trouble for him. "
——
After his parents left, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa next to him.
Xu Liang finished speaking with a low eyebrow.< br>
"Mom and Dad, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We have a lot to say to each other, and it's getting late. Why don't you and dad go have a rest first?"
Dad quickly stood up.
Like Qiao Yuhui, she was also pregnant with a boy and a girl with double yolk eggs.
“My parents are old and they can’t learn English, so we have to learn Mandarin.” Helen said.
Not to be outdone, Helen put Xu Liang's left hand on her lower abdomen.
Come downstairs.
“Dear, we forgive you.”
“Husband, little Carlos also likes his father very much.”
As long as they please the two elderly people, there is no way they can Get more support from Xu Liang.
Christina and Helen came over consciously and sat next to him, one on the left and the other on the right.
Jealousy is only a small part, Facebook and Twitter are the most important.
Xu Liangxian picked up Facebook and started reading it.
It has been ten months since Facebook was established in January this year.
With the support of Xu Liang and after burning nearly 100 million US dollars, Facebook is now the largest social networking site in the United States and the largest social networking site in the Five Eyes Alliance.
However, Facebook’s current scope of influence is still limited to students.
All registered users are college students and middle school students from the Five Eyes Alliance.
But just this group of users has allowed Facebook's registered users to exceed 20 million.
But Facebook has never made a profit since its development.
Keeping burning money. "What's the status of the lawsuit with Rose Network now?"
Rose.com is a social networking site that was incubated by the incubator of the Silicon Valley venture capital department of Hanhua Capital.
Originally Xu Liang had high hopes for them, hoping that they could become Facebook.
As a result, after listening to his analysis, people didn't take it seriously at all.
Not only did they not accept Hanhua’s Series A investment, they also gave up on the path that Xu Liang had planned for them: first school and then society, and directly opened registration to the whole society.
After Facebook came out, when it started to develop relatively weakly, nothing happened.
But when it developed, Xu Liang, who was hiding behind the scenes, could no longer hide it.
Companies such as Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers that have invested in Rose Network certainly do not want another competitor.
So Rose.com was encouraged to initiate a lawsuit against Facebook on the pretext of copyright infringement.
This lawsuit was accepted by the California Intermediate Court in July.
Both sides are currently collecting evidence.
"It's still in the proof stage, and the trial won't start until January next year." Helen said quickly.
"Is the evidence from Rose.com a big threat to us?"
"No threat. The website designs of Facebook and Rose.com are different, the source codes of both sides are also different, and the development models are not much They are the same, so the lawsuit cannot be lost.
Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins just want to use the law to slow down the development of Facebook.”
Xu Liang nodded slightly.
"I'm more worried about the Capella High School and University of Rochester fraternity class action lawsuits than the Rosenet lawsuit."
Once a company develops, it will encounter a variety of problems.
There are commercial competitors and private institutions.
Capella High School and the University of Rochester fraternity sued Facebook for violating privacy.
“Just litigate, there will definitely be no shortage of similar lawsuits in the future.
But we must hire the best team of lawyers, we must not lose. "
Helen nodded, "But the money in the account is no longer enough. "
"It doesn't matter, I will provide another $100 million in loans to Facebook. "Xu Liangdao.
"Why a loan? Just give it directly.
After all, Facebook will be your son’s property from now on. ”
After looking at her, Xu Liang said calmly: "If the rules are set, they cannot be broken. Otherwise, why should we follow the rules?"
Xu Liang's equity in Facebook is only 49%, of which 51% belongs to Helen.
But there is a supplementary agreement in this equity agreement.
After the birth of their child, Helen's equity was transferred to the family trust, while Xu Liang's equity was transferred to the family charity fund.
If Xu Liang invests $100 million, it will change Facebook’s equity structure.
This is what he doesn't want to see.
Facebook is too sensitive, and it is better to be in the hands of Helen, a wealthy family with the support of the Montes family.
"Dear, you are too sensitive. The United States is not as xenophobic as you think. Everyone in the world who recognizes freedom and democracy can realize their American dream in the United States."
"Do you believe this yourself?"
'American Dream'?
Just lying to a fool.
In this three-thirds of an acre of land in the United States, it is always white people who truly hold power.
And they are Jewish and British among white people.
Other people, especially Easterners, will remain second-tier rich until they die. All core industries and departments in the United States cannot be handed over to Easterners.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. How is the acquisition of Mete going now?”
"Zuckerberg has agreed, but I think the asking price of US$50 million is too expensive for a website that only has 4 million users and has never been profitable," Helen said.
"Agree to him. However, there is an ancillary agreement in the contract. Zuckerberg must serve as Facebook's chief operating officer. In addition, the non-compete agreement has a minimum term of three years." Xu Liangdao.
After he bought the domain name of Facebook in this life, it grew rapidly with the support of abundant funds, directly interrupting Zuckerberg's rise.
But Xu Liang is still very afraid of this guy.
Want to nip the danger in the bud.
Helen frowned and said: "Is it necessary? Even if we don't acquire it, Mete will not be able to develop."
"Of course it is necessary. You have to be clear. What we lack most now is not money, but development. Acquisition Mete can directly add 4 million users to Facebook, saving us at least three months of development time.
With these three months, we can further widen the gap with Rose Network and Myspace and establish a global presence. The status of the No. 1 social networking site.
If we can have more than 30 million users, we can gradually open up external registration. One step faster can lead to faster development.
Wait for Facebook to develop. The money we invest now can be earned tenfold or a hundredfold.”
"Well, you are the one who invested the money anyway." Helen shrugged.
“Has the logging function I sent you an email to develop developed?” Xu Liang asked.
"The R&D department has already developed it, and the new version can be updated at any time."
"Then update it. Only with richer functions can it attract more and more users."
The current Facebook website, because of Xu Liang, is still different from the original Facebook in history.
In addition to basic information, there are functions such as photo albums, friends, alumni groups, and mailboxes.
