In Li Mu's eyes, Mark Zuckerberg is a bug-like existence.

Not only because he is the youngest super rich man with a billion dollar scale, but also because of his strong vision and ability in his entrepreneurial career.

When ordinary people start businesses, they can create an Internet giant of 100 billion US dollars like Fae Bok. The key is that until 2013, Mark Zuckerberg's shareholding ratio in Fae Bok was able to stick to around 30%, which is much stronger than these 40-50-year-old Internet masters in China. Therefore, he can surpass the founders of all domestic Internet companies in personal assets, which is also his very awesome thing.

Countless rebirths who appear in novels will not miss the way to hug Mark Zuckerberg. The way to hug the thighs is also strange. Some people went to the other side of the ocean to invest in him when they were founded, and some even went to the United States to find him. They became friends with him before the founding of Fae Bok, but Li Mu didn't think so.

First of all, if you wait for Fae Book to be founded and then go to the United States to invest in Mark Zuckerberg, it would be logically unreasonable. There are so many Internet companies in the United States, and there are so many companies born in Silicon Valley every day. How could a Chinese man go all the way to find a Harvard college student and take the initiative to invest money to him? I guess even Mark Zuckerberg would be shocked.

Moreover, it is not so easy for Chinese people to invest in Americans to start a business, especially when it comes to corporate issues. It is troublesome to invest money directly, and the other party may not be willing to accept it. The most important thing is to have a perfectly registered company in the United States and throw hundreds of millions of dollars into the account. When you see a good project, you will directly sign a contract with the investor in the name of the company. This is much more convenient and more formal.

It is not suitable for investment, and it is not safe to make advance investments. Mark Zuckerberg was first a student at Harvard University, and then he had the idea of ​​starting a business in the school and became an entrepreneur. He developed from a student to an entrepreneur who gave birth to the idea of ​​Faebok, which is an established route that history has long planned. If he does not intervene in advance, then Mark Zuckerberg, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, will definitely advance according to his original pace. He will definitely establish aemash in 2003, and will definitely give birth to the idea of ​​Faebok by the end of 2003 and start to realize it in 2004.

Then, the most critical link has finally come.

Since Li Mu did not interfere with Mark Zuckerberg's established route, he would definitely try to buy the domain name Fae Book at the beginning of his business. The holder of this domain name quoted a 10,000 US dollar level, which scared off Mark Zuckerberg, who was still a poor student. If the domain name was in his own hands, at the end of 2003 and early 2004, Mark Zuckerberg would definitely contact him to try to buy the domain name. Li Mu's ultimate goal was not to sell the domain name to him at the end of 2003, but to take this opportunity to directly invest in him.

Li Mu sorted out the time nodes of the development of fae wave ok in his mind.

In February 2004, Mark Zuckerberg's AE-Poker ok was launched, starting from Harvard and gradually spreading to other universities. At this time, he was an ordinary student and used AE-Poker ok as an extracurricular entrepreneurial project.

In September 2004, Mark Zuckerberg received the first angel investment of FaePoker, a $500,000 investment invested by PayPal founder Peter Thiel. At that time, AEPoker had already shown its extraordinary expansion ability.

A picture came to Li Mu's mind.

If he pulled the timeline to one day in 2003, Mark Zuckerberg, who was in class and was absent in a Harvard classroom, finally thought of the idea of ​​Faebook when he bit the 58th pencil tip. Then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was really great and feasible. So he ended up till the get out of class was over, and rushed to the dormitory like a fly, turned on the computer, and prepared to register the domain name registration agent website first. He didn't know whether the domain name had been registered, but he must have silently expected that the domain name was still waiting to be registered.

When he filled in the domain name query box ae wave ok. This top-level domain name, he then found out in distress that it was a big deal! I was so genius that I would be able to get a first look at the phrase fae wave ok. It seems that the phrase fae wave ok was not the first to think of. Someone who had a dictionary hoarding domain names randomly thought of this phrase.

Then, he couldn't wait to see what the hell is this fae wave?

After opening it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief because there was nothing on this page, with only one sentence: "This domain name is for sale." Then there is a msn used as a contact.

"It turns out to be a ghost who accumulates domain names."

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg breathed a sigh of relief. He would not immediately think of registering theae Pokémon. He would think: "The domain name of this type of phrase should not be sold for much, right? It's the maximum of a few thousand dollars. If the price is cut, it may be cheaper. He will definitely not be able to combine the concept of high-end social networking websites for college students like me and the slightly weird phrase "fae Pokémon!"

Then, Mark Zuckerberg added this msn.

At this time, Li Mu, who had been waiting for Mark Zuckerberg for two years, went online with a sinister smile on his face.

Mark Zuckerberg said on msn: "Hello, sir, I want to buy the domain name of Faebook in your hand."

"Oh? How much money are you willing to pay?"

"I think a domain name like this would cost $500,000, which is a good oer."

Li Mu sent him a laughing expression: "Sorry, I don't really tend to sell this domain name. I prefer to use it to make a social network. Start with college, and I'm already ready to start. In the early stage, I'll take millions of dollars to play."

"I'm such a damn dog!!!"

Think about it, what would Mark Zuckerberg think when he heard his creativity be spoken out by a person with a Fae-Port Ok domain name?

After that, this person is ahead of himself, and most importantly, he is rich and willing to invest millions of dollars to test the waters.

There is a big difference between rich people starting a business and poor people starting a business.

If entrepreneurship is compared to wanting to start a large car rental company, then all rich people have to do is buy a bunch of cars and then build an operation team;

The way for those who have no money is to find the cheapest way to save a car, and then try to save one or two units first. It goes without saying how hard the process of saving is. You can purchase various parts, you can't buy them or you can't afford them, and then match them and do various tests.

After finishing this series of work, he finally proved that he could save one or two cars. At this time, if an investor recognized the cars they saved, he would invest a sum of money and let them save another batch. This is the legendary angel round investment.

Getting angel investment and saving a certain amount, but it is far from enough to run a real large car rental company. Then find someone to invest in a second round, this is the A-round financing;

After finally raising the A round, I barely saved enough quantity, and then started to build a better operation team...

This has been almost half a century slower than the rich man, that is, the turtle is racing against the rabbit. If the rabbit does not make a big mistake, the turtle will never be able to catch up with him.

Although the metaphor is not very appropriate, this is how the entire Internet entrepreneurship is. If Jack Ma won the domestic market vacuum when he founded Alibaba, and if someone directly took tens of millions to do the same thing as him, he might have failed from the beginning.

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg was probably discouraged. He didn't know what to do at once. It might take several days to think about it, but more likely he was giving up the idea of ​​starting a business.

Just when he was at a loss, Li Mu suddenly asked him: "By the way, can you tell me what you are going to do with this domain name?"

"Me?" Mark Zuckerberg said self-deprecatingly: "I also want to make a social networking site, but now, I think I may need to think about it."

Li Mu suddenly said generously: "Everyone actually thought of going together. This is really fate. In fact, if we have the opportunity, we can sit down and talk about the common concept of you and me. If the concept is consistent, I can give you the domain name and invest another money to help me complete the plan. After all, I am too busy and want to do other things together and leave it to others. I am afraid that he will not understand my plan."

"Really?" It's hard for Mark Zuckerberg to imagine that someone is willing to vote for an unknown person like himself who has nothing, but the other party's reasons are also very good. You can think of it with me, which proves that you are very close to my thinking pattern. If you have the ability to pass the test, I don't have to worry about investing in you.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but I've had something to do recently. I'm going to visit Cambridge, Massachusetts. I don't know where you are? When I come back from Cambridge, we can make an appointment with a place to meet. At that time, I can ask my assistant to book you a round-trip air ticket."

Mark Zuckerberg is actually at Harvard University and Harvard University is in Cambridge City. The reason why Li Mu said this is actually because the fish are more devoted to the hook.

So, it is conceivable that when he hears this sentence, he will probably believe in fate like a Chinese, and will be so excited that he will go crazy...

"Oh my God, sir, I'm in Cambridge! Actually, I'm still a Harvard college student! If you come to Cambridge, can we take the time to meet you?"

"My God, this is really the magic of the Creator! How come we have so many coincidences and overlaps? This is really fate! No matter what, I must meet you, so wait for my news and I will contact you after I arrive in Cambridge."

"This is really God's will, then I'll wait for you in Cambridge!"

"Okay, wait for me, young man!"

This is Li Mu's complete idea. To summarize it briefly, it can be called: domain name sets the stage and fate plays.
Chapter completed!
