Zuckerberg saw Feng Yu and starts to talk about his website's creativity and potential. When he was talking excitedly, his saliva was flying all over the place, and Feng Yu leaned back.
Masao Kameda interrupted Zuckerberg. "Mr. Zuckerberg, I had told you that Hua Xia has a website called the Chinese Web, and it is similar to your idea. That website has been established for a year, and there are more than 10 million registered users, and it is still increasing."
Zuckerberg's smile froze. How could he forget about this? That means his idea is not new, and people might think it is a copycat.
Feng Yu waved his hand and stopped Masao Kameda. He turned to Zuckerberg and smiled. "It's fine. You can continue."
Zuckerberg continued to talk about his ideas for the future of the website. But he did not speak quickly, and his tone is not as excited. He seems to have suffered a huge blow.
After saying that, he looked at Feng Yu unconfidently, hoping to get some affirmation from Feng Yu's eyes. Feng Yu's eyes are calm as if he is listening to his subordinate's report.
"That's all?"
"That's all I can think of for now. But I can promise you that I will think of more in the future, and I will make more money for the website. Also, we can get listed. Tech companies' share prices are recovering now, and the entire US stock market is recovering. We will surely make a lot of money. "
Masao Kameda sneered. "Are you talking about your business experience?"
Zuckerberg kept quiet. He does not have any experience and only knows how to talk. The two people in front of him were both well-known businessmen. He didn't know why he said those words just now. Maybe he was just a joke in their eyes.
Feng Yu said calmly. "Tell me what you want."
Zack Jr. raised his head and looked at Feng Yu. What did he hear? Mr Feng had asked him to state his conditions. Could it be that there was still room for negotiation?
Originally, Zuckerberg wanted a quarter of the shares, but when he found out that his website wasn't the only one in the world, and that the other party had already developed a similar website, his expectations were greatly reduced.
"How about 15% of the shares?"
"Are you kidding me? We plan to invest at least 100 million USD. You mean you are worth 15 million USD? Tell me, why do you think you're worth so much? You're not irreplaceable! Furthermore, you haven't even graduated yet. There are many more talented technicians out there. Perhaps we can create a new website ourselves and find some technicians to create the basic website code. Five million won't even be enough! "Masao Kameda said sarcastically.
"But my website has already gained some popularity," Little Zuckerberg argued.
"It's only limited to Harvard. Is this considered famous?"
"No, it's not just Harvard. It has some influence on many other universities."
"They only know that a Harvard student created a beauty contest software and was forced to apologize. What else do they know? This is the influence you are talking about? Maybe a lot of people think you are a joke in Harvard. "Masao Kameda continued to pour cold water on Zuckerberg.
At this time, Feng Yu slowly put down his coffee cup. He still doesn't like the taste of coffee.
"Ok, Kameda. Zuckerberg, the current situation is like this. You can look for other people to invest in, but in terms of website investment experience, you are too lacking. I dare say that if you find someone else to invest in and then challenge me, you will definitely lose! But I am also interested in your website. We are planning to enter the North American market, and we can invest in your website. The investment will be more than 100 million USD. "
"Do you still think your skills and creativity are worth 15% of the shares? From what I know, this Facebook is not created by you alone. Savelin and a few others also created it. You are only one of them. Do you think they can reject my offer? "
Zuckerberg's face darkens with every sentence Feng Yu says. That's right. Feng Yu is telling the truth. He is only one of the founders of this Facebook website, and there are still others. If the rest of the founders are poached, this website will be paralyzed immediately. Can anyone reject the World's Richest Man's offer? Perhaps, but not his companions.
"I can give you 15%, but it is not for you. It is for your team. I don't care how the shares are split, but I want the founders to continue to contribute to Facebook. "
15% of 100 million might seem a lot. But internet companies burn a lot of money, and Feng Yu will need to invest more than a few billion USD in Facebook in the future. After a few rounds of funding, Zuckerberg and his team's shares will be diluted.
In Feng Yu's previous life, this is what Zuckerberg did to his roommates. At that time, Zuckerberg admires Bill Gates the most, and he imitates Bill Gates. He wants everyone to know that Facebook belongs to him.
"Mr Feng, how much will we be left with after the 15% shares are diluted?" Zuckerberg asked.
"These 15% are voting shares. In the future, your voting rights will not be diluted by capital injection or financing. This is my promise to you. Voting rights can guarantee your position in the company. Unless you give them up voluntarily, I will not forcefully buy them over. And as one of the founders, your salary will include a portion of the original shares. If you make a big enough contribution, then perhaps the proportion of your shares will not only not decrease, but may even increase. "
The shares might increase? Is it possible?
Masao Kameda saw Zuckerberg's disbelief and said. "My shares in Wind and Rain Holdings will increase, and the shares of the company's Vice-Presidents will also increase. As long as you do your job well, you will not need to worry about not getting the returns you deserve. "
The shares are not voting rights. Furthermore, the shares Masao Kameda and his team had increased by a little, but it is worth a lot. No matter how much the shares change, Feng Yu will still be the company's controlling shares.
"Mr Feng, I need to discuss with the rest. But I have a request. All the founders will be the company's top management, right? "
Masao Kameda looked at Feng Yu with disdain. Which one of you has experience in managing a company?
But Feng Yu said. "If you all are capable, I will let you be the company's CEO!"
