"It's this, it was established in...well...April or May. I forgot. After all, it was circulated on the Harvard campus at the beginning, and it required an internal email for certification. I've graduated. This website was sent to me by my former classmates, saying it was convenient for contact. Well, from this perspective, the website is still interesting." Neil opened the web page in the laptop found by Sean and typed in the URL, pointing to the page and saying to them.

"What's the use of this?" Garen asked.

"Organize a network with your friends through this platform. As long as you write it on it, you will know that it is very convenient to communicate." Neil explained briefly.

"That's it?" Sanders shrugged, seemingly disapproving of the website.

"If you are interested, you can study it yourself." Neil wouldn't tell him, and he didn't understand much. Although he registered, he basically didn't use it a few times.

"Are you sure you want to invest?" He turned to Shane, "I don't think it's a good idea. Although it's a lot of visits, the two people who founded the website are still students. They don't necessarily have the patience to continue, and there are rumors of plagiarism."

"But I think it's very good." Sean stared at the homepage of the website, which clearly stated the word Facebook.

Before Neil could persuade him, he had made a decision: "I need you to be my representative. Ask them if they are interested in coming to Silicon Valley. If they are willing to come, I can invest millions to support their website at a time, and only have 35% equity and do not interfere with their management and operations - do you want to come together?"

The following sentence is said to Garen and the others.

The final result was that Neil took his check and request to New York, and Garen and Sanders joined the group, which was what Sean said, not to mention Google's example. And under his influence, they had some considerable savings, so they shared a 5% share together and shared a 35% share with him. It was not that they didn't want more, but that if they founded the website...Mr. Mark Zuckerberg would probably refuse.

Sean doesn't remember how he became the king of the online social kingdom. He only remembers that Facebook is worth investing, but this does not prevent him from experiencing other people's feelings from his own perspective. When he established a production company, if someone invested millions or tens of millions and asked for 35% or even more shares, he would not agree. This is related to the control of the company. If the founder has his own ideas about the company's prospects and believes that it can grow and grow, he will inevitably be wary of any possibility of being squeezed out.

It’s no big deal to share this 35% equity with Garen and Sanders. As long as Neil can meet his requirements, Sean will take the big head anyway, and it will take at least five or six years to see the profits. Besides, Garen and Sanders have been with him for so long. Although they each have their own goals and careers and have developed well, they should share more things. As for Neil, if he wants to invest in Facebook, it’s OK. As long as he can get Sean’s 35% of it, he can still talk to Zuckerberg.

Well, anyway, Sean has now entered the ranks of super rich people and is soon known.

Google's listing is also a big deal, especially on the first day, it had a market value of 20 billion or even higher, directly surpassing Nike and even Lockheed Martin, and various financial media rushed to report it.

There are many investors or investment funds mentioned in this, and there are also many celebrities who first held stakes in Google, such as Schwarzenegger, who has become California Governor, or Tiger Woods, Shark O'Neal, and former Secretary of State Kissinger.

Sean is naturally listed here, and has been mentioned many times. You should know that even the two famous venture capitalists, Kelpen Huaying and Sequoia Capital, only hold 10% and 12% of the shares respectively, while he alone accounts for as much as 8%, and he invested after the bursting of the IT bubble in 2000.

Although it is not as big as Schwarzenegger and others, the few small amounts of money invested at the beginning have received tens of thousands of times the return today, it is also worthy of the book.

"At the time when the IT bubble burst, everyone was afraid of talking about the IT industry and was afraid to avoid it. A young man who had just become an actor not long ago invested 20 million to Google, which was still weak at the time. Now, his investment has been rewarded, and nearly 2 billion shares have made this young star, Sean Tang, one of the youngest billionaires. It seems that he has a good vision not only in choosing scripts, but also in investment." Fortune wrote a note to Sean in the report on Google's listing.

Although it was first reported by financial media, the economy, finance and entertainment were basically partly related to each other. The wealth ranking of actors mentioned before was made by Fortune magazine. So the entertainment media quickly reprinted it, and the report that Sean made a big profit with the shares held by Google and became the most wealthy star in Hollywood, spreading rapidly.

If the past few hundred million he earned from the production company only knows that he is just a newly famous actor in front of outsiders, then the nearly 2 billion assets now are basically known.

Reports such as "Lucky Sean's Lucky Investment", "Equally Excellent Investment" and "The Richest Star" have been released, and the content is basically on the good side, such as praising his vision, or being surprised that the IT industry has created myths again, etc.

It is normal that the media can offend ordinary people, the middle class, and ordinary celebrities, but not rich people, or super rich people. What's more, many news shows that the other party is a member of Google's board of directors and has contact with many big names, so the media must be careful - at least be careful before figuring out the specific situation.

Not only that, "The Aviator" has already started the second step of publicity. The interviews produced during the broadcast of various TV stations are several leading actors talking about the plot and characters in front of the camera to further attract the audience's curiosity and allow them to enter the theater as soon as possible.

With the media's previous tendency to be pessimistic, it is impossible not to take the opportunity to do something at this time. But now the impossible has become possible. Most media have almost no strong reaction. Some tabloids continue to attack Scorsese's casting vision, insisting that Sean is not suitable for this role, but the words and sentences used seem to be tickling.

Of course, those insignificant tabloids may still be attacking, but unfortunately no one will pay attention to them.

This is naturally a shock brought by Sean's wealth exposure. Unfortunately, neither Warner nor Miramax want to see such a situation. After all, they originally hoped that Sean could attract more attention.

But they didn't say anything. A 2 billion net worth is considered a big shot no matter where it is, and the influence of Sean's net worth exposure is not negative, such as... equating him with Hughes during publicity?

Similarly, on the set of "The Twelve Arhats", Sean also received more respect, and even Clooney's eyes changed a lot. After "My Grand Greek Wedding" was released, although he regarded him as a character who could be on par, he still treated him as an attitude of his predecessors.

But now it doesn't work. Although Clooney is a star with a wealthy wealth and is not inferior to the two Tom, he is not that far, so they... are more equal to each other, and even Sean is a little higher. As for Pete, or even Chandell, that's even worse.

Of course, these are invisible, things hidden deep in people's consciousness, and are generally not manifested, and even I rarely notice them. This is the subtle influence of the level.

On the other hand, it is much more naked. Before, Cyclone Film finally raised 100 million yuan to expand. Although the profit was not bad, when it wanted to continue financing, many funds raised the threshold and wanted more power.

Sean naturally disagreed, so Vladimir negotiated with them for more than half a year but failed to reach an agreement. However, after Google went public and Sean's wealth was revealed, these guys' attitude immediately turned 180 degrees, rushing to provide funds with smiles, and the conditions were also reduced again and again.

After all, although the assets from Google Shares are not that much after cashing out, it is already good to have half of the one-billion yuan, as long as you take out a small part of it as collateral, you can get the working capital you want from the bank. You still need to find a fund financial capital at that time? And the benefits of Cyclone Film in recent years have been placed there. If various funds on Wall Street miss it, it will definitely be a bad thing.

This is the charm and power of capital.

Of course, the biggest gain after the exposure of wealth is not these, but—

"Why? It's very simple. I think this website is cool." Sean, who was sitting in a high-back chair, raised his hands. "I haven't been to college and can't find so many adjectives in my head, so I can only say... it's cool, very cool, it's a wonderful world."

The two young men behind the desk exchanged their eyes, the frivolous one shrugged, while the one with a long face showed a smile: "Thank you for your praise, Sean."

"This is what you and your Facebook deserve, Mark," Shaun laughed, "So, I think this website should have great potential. Even people like me are attracted to it, not to mention those younger people, and with their drive, it is easy to storm after a tide, and then more people will join in, and soon this will become a social kingdom on the Internet."
