Reborn coal boss? No! I will rejuvenate the country through science and technology!

The next day.

Lin Yuan welcomed a guest at the Marriott Hotel

"Hi Lin, long time no see."

A young man from the Eagle Country in his early twenties entered Lin Yuan's presidential suite and opened his arms towards Lin Yuan.

"Hi Mark, long time no see."

Lin Yuan smiled and hugged the young man.

The person named"Mark" in Lin Yuan's mouth is Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.

The reason why Lin Yuan is so familiar with Zuckerberg , because they are Harvard alumni.

Yes, Lin Yuan studied at Harvard when he was studying in Eagle Country.

By chance, he became friends with Zuckerberg at school.

After coming to Eagle Country, He also contacted Zuckerberg.

Afterwards, the two began to chat.

In his heart, Lin Yuan sighed with emotion. In his previous life, he really didn’t expect that this guy could make such great achievements later. Otherwise, he would have invested in this project early. Guy.

Who would have thought that the website that this guy and a few people created in a college dormitory would eventually become a global Internet social networking giant with a market value of several trillion?

However, it is not too late now.

Although I have missed the earliest Investment opportunities, but now there is also a good opportunity.

Based on the memory of his previous life, Lin Yuan knows that the current situation of Facebook is not good.

Since its establishment in 2004, the website Facebook has never made a profit.

Moreover, it has only received a total of 1320 Ten thousand US dollars in financing.

This amount of money is simply not enough, and it has been spent to date.

Therefore, Facebook is now under great financial pressure.

In addition to the funding crisis, what is even worse is that at this point in time, Facebook is in the midst of serious internal strife.

The relationship between Zuckerberg and Saverin, another major founder of Facebook, has completely broken down.

The two parties have gone to court.

Not only that, Saverin has also joined forces with Zuckerberg The Winklevoss brothers, who were entangled in Facebook's copyright issues, launched a fierce attack on Zuckerberg. It can be said that Facebook is now in the midst of internal and external troubles and is facing a huge crisis.

And for Personally, Zuckerberg was also in a bad situation at this time. Another workplace network software project he had undertaken suffered a complete failure, which was a major blow to his confidence.

He also began to doubt the prospects of Facebook. , worried that it might not be able to develop.

Because at this time, Facebook's main competitor, Myspace's traffic, is several times that of Facebook, and it is backed by the big tree of News Corporation, which requires money, money, and people.

Combining all the above factors, Zuckerberg at this time had the idea of ​​selling Facebook as a whole.

In the original historical time and space, Yahoo almost seized this opportunity to acquire Facebook.

However, in the end, due to Yahoo's reasons , the negotiations between the two parties broke down.

In the end, Zuckerberg obtained $27.5 million in investment from three investment companies: Greylock Partners, Meritech Capital Partners and Founders Fund, solving the funding crisis. He also spent a huge price to reach an agreement with Saverin and the Winklevoss brothers. Reconciliation.

Since then, Facebook has been on the fast track of development.

"Mark, should I congratulate you? I read the news in the media that your company is about to be acquired by Yahoo, and you are about to become a super rich man!"

After the greetings, Lin Yuan smiled and said to Zuckerberg.

Although he knew that the negotiations between the two parties would fail, this did not prevent him from using this entry point to test Zuckerberg's attitude.

"Forget it"

"It was a deal, but those bastards at Yahoo suddenly went back on their word."

After listening to Lin Yuan's words, Zuckerberg replied angrily.

He was in a bad mood recently because of this incident. He was about to become a rich man, but unexpectedly something happened at the last minute.

From Zuckerberg Lin Yuan verified two pieces of information based on Zuckerberg's reaction.

First, Yahoo did change its mind temporarily as it did in the original historical time and space.

Second, at this time, Zuckerberg did have the intention to sell Facebook.

"Yahoo really deserves to go bankrupt in the future."

Lin Yuan sighed in his heart.

From being the world's largest Internet giant to finally going bankrupt and being sold at a low price, Yahoo had to blame itself.

Before Google went public in 2004, Yahoo offered to acquire Google for US$3 billion. After some bargaining, the two parties finally took the initial steps. A transaction price of US$5 billion was reached, but at the last moment Yahoo found it too expensive and refused to complete the acquisition agreement.

Today, Google's market value has approached US$100 billion.

In the same year, in the Longguo market, it faced the acquisitions of Baidu and 3721 Target, Yahoo chose 3721 because of the price difference of 30 million dragon coins, giving up Baidu, the future search engine giant of Dragon Kingdom.

And then this time.

According to Lin Yuan’s past life memory, the two parties had originally negotiated a 10 The overall acquisition price was US$100 million.

However, at the last moment, Yahoo regretted that it was too expensive and suddenly asked Facebook to reduce the price by US$150 million. They were only willing to pay US$850 million to acquire Facebook.

This directly angered Zuckerberg. As a result, Yahoo finally missed Facebook.

It successively missed Google, Baidu, and Facebook companies. Yahoo perfectly explained what it means to give opportunities to others.

If Yahoo were not so stingy and careless, it would not end up bankrupt. Selling ending

"It seems I've arrived at just the right time."

Lin Yuan spoke back to Zuckerberg.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Zuckerberg asked in confusion:

"Lin, what do you mean? I do not quite understand"

"I want to replace Yahoo and buy your company. Lin

Yuan replied in a deep voice.

Zuckerberg was stunned for a moment and asked in a skeptical tone:

"Lin, the media should have reported the transaction price we negotiated with Yahoo. It was US$1 billion. Do you have so much money?"

Although the two were friends in college, and he also knew that Lin Yuan came from a wealthy family in Longguo, this was 1 billion U.S. dollars, not a small amount of money.

"I have it, and it's cash, and I'm ready."

Lin Yuan replied calmly.
