Li Rui returned home, just at eight o'clock, after packing and preparation, turned on the computer at 8:30 and entered the online video chat room.

There are already two people in the chat room.

[Bai Yueguang] and [Xiaoya Yaya].

The 2010 video chat is not as clear as later, but from the image that is slightly blurred in pixels, it is still seen that both are beautiful women.

Seeing [Hunter] went online, both of them greeted.

[Bai Yueguang]: Li Rui, you are here.

[Xiaoya Yaya]: Brother Rui, hello, I am Yu Na's roommate Zhu Xiaoya, 23 years old, 1.68 meters tall, 49 kg of weight, measurement

[Bai Yueguang]: Zhu Xiaoya, enough!

Zhu Xiaoya vomited his tongue.

If you have to lose your video chat room, if you type, Zhu Xiaoya estimates that even the date of visiting relatives to visit home will explode.

[Hunter]: Hello, Xiaoya, for the first time, I am very happy to meet you.

Li Rui had also been in contact with Zhu Xiaoya before, but for the first time, I saw a real person. I thought about whether the beauty was attractive to each other.

The time hasn't arrived, and the three of them chatted for a while.

Yu Na is relatively reserved. Zhu Xiaoya is completely personal to crazy, and this girl is cold and not jealous, and there are more jokes than Li Rui. After talking for a long time, Li Rui doubted that she was harassed by the female hooligan?

At 8:58, two people came in in the chat room.

Brian Middot; Akton and Jane Middot; Kum, former Google senior engineer, Internet -based conducives who hate advertisements, loyal guardians of user privacy, founders of WhatsApp, the rich people in the future.

[Akton]: Dear Rui, I finally saw you, you are younger than what I think!

This guy is different from Li Rui imagined. Even from the small video window, he can still see that he is a tall guy. Unlike those weak programmer engineers in the impression, he looks very strong.

However, Li Rui knows that this guy is an old stubborn.

After selling WhatsApp to Facebook in the previous life, because of dissatisfaction with Facebook's policy, Akton actually sent a Twitter saying: It's time to delete Facebook!

It is estimated that when the face of the face of the face of the face of the face of the face of the Twitter, the face became green

Such a straightforward expression directly led to Akton's withdrawal from Facebook, and for this reason, it also lost the shares of 850 million magnesium dollars.

[Kum]: Rui, really happy to see you!

Compared with Akson, Kum has a set of persistence. The three incomparable principles of WhatsApp are derived from him.

If it wasn't for both people so stubborn and persistent, I am afraid there is no glory of whatsApp's previous life.

But Li Rui understands Zuckerberg very much. When these two guys start their own business, they can be charged and caught up. Once they enter the rapid development of the enterprise, they will become a stumbling block.

Therefore, in the negotiations of the meeting, Li Rui must use it all to avoid being handled in the future.

[Hunter]: I am also very happy to meet two. I am a loyal user of WhatsApp. I have always admired the two.

Li Rui first put on a relatively low attitude. He believed that no one in the world didn't like to be filmed, and the same is true of the stubborn people.

What's more, this horse comes from a person who is recognized by them.

As expected, both Acton and Colm were smiling, even a little embarrassed.

[Acton]: When I was at Google, Larry praised me, and I wasn’t even so happy!

[Kom]: I can testify to this. He had a very long face that time.

Li Rui could probably understand 70% of the conversation between the two, Yu Na was responsible for Acton's translation, and Zhu Xiaoya was responsible for Koum's translation, so they could basically understand it.

First there is some commercial touting, and then we get down to business.

Although Acton and Comb kept praising Li Rui, they were obviously well prepared and the negotiation conditions they presented were very detailed.

It includes various restrictions on Li Rui, which can be summed up in one sentence: Li Rui pays but can't control anything, and they still have the final say on WhatsApp.

Li Rui smiled secretly.

It seems that everyone is using the same tactics, trying their best to flatter each other, but in business, there must be no concessions!

Soldiers came to block it, water came to cover it, and Li Rui calmly took out his preparations.

The negotiation process was boring and difficult, but Li Rui enjoyed it very much. Taking Instagram before was just a small test of his skills. This was the moment when he really competed with Internet giants.

The talks started at nine o'clock and reached twelve o'clock. There were still many differences between the two sides, but they basically reached a consensus.

[Acton]: Next is the more important one. In terms of investment amount, our requirement is 5 million magnesium yuan, and the shares we can give you are

When he said this, he glanced at Kom again.

【Kom】:10%.

When Yu Na and Zhu Xiaoya heard this number, they were all shocked.

5 million US dollars occupies 10% of the shares, which means that Acton and Comb’s valuation of WhatsApp is 50 million US dollars!

When they introduced it before, what was the revenue of WhatsApp last year?

1 million magnesium dollars or 1.2 million?

After excluding all inputs and costs, the loss exceeded 5 million Mg yuan.

If it weren't for Acton and Kom both being Google employees and having relatively rich families, WhatsApp might have been unable to survive long ago.

Although WhatsApp now has millions of users, is it not worth 50 million?

Zhu Xiaoya's mouth curved downwards, feeling that Li Rui would have to cut it down by 30% no matter what.

Yu Na also felt that this was going to be another fierce negotiation, so she quickly picked up the coffee and took a sip, cheering up and preparing to translate.

[Hunter]: I have some opinions on this number.

Yu Na and Zhu Xiaoya were ready.

[Hunter]: I hope to invest 10 million magnesium yuan, accounting for 18% of the shares.

Poof, the coffee Yu Na just drank sprayed all over the table.

Zhu Xiaoya was also dumbfounded, thinking she had heard wrong.

Even Acton and Colm looked surprised.

Asking for a high price and then paying back the money is the way to do business in both the Hua and Magnesium countries. Especially when it involves millions, it requires careful calculation.

The price proposed by Acton and Comb included room for bargaining with Li Rui, but they never expected that instead of bargaining, Li Rui would increase the amount of investment?

Why is this guy different from the investors they have contacted before?

Those guys are all vampires. They want to spend the least amount of money to squeeze out all the shares from the founders. Compared with them, Li Rui is like a philanthropist, trying every means to invest more.

If Li Rui gives the investment quota calculation, the valuation of WhatsApp will reach 90 million magnesium!

Are the Chinese people so generous?

Where do they know, Li Rui is not afraid of investing more money, but he is afraid that there are not enough shares.

If you want to control the most social software in the world in the future, how can 10%of the shares be enough? Only by getting enough shares can we resist the acquisition of Facebook!
