Recast youth

Chapter 972
Chen Huang's feeling is very accurate.

Ye Feng indeed came to the United States with all his strength. In two years' time, there will be a global financial crisis. In his previous life, this financial crisis caused more than 10 trillion US dollars in global economic losses.

10 trillion, what is the concept?Still dollars!

It can be said to be an appalling number.

If anyone now tells others, or the stockbroker experts on Wall Street, that in 2008 the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States will trigger a global financial crisis and cause global economic losses of more than 10 trillion US dollars, then everyone probably thinks that You are crazy, and only a small number of people will be able to detect it.

But Ye Feng can't say anything at the moment.

There is no doubt that as long as he stands in this wave, he will definitely be recorded as a legend in the history of the world. Even the protagonist of the Wolf of Wall Street movie is far behind him.

It's hard to predict whether the consequences will be good or bad.

However, Ye Feng, the protagonist who is about to be involved in this incident, is currently discussing with Zach on the board of directors. The cooperation between the two companies is actually not as complicated as others imagined.

It's nothing more than the founders of the two companies finalizing the cooperation method, and then their people follow it.

It just so happened that Ye Feng was not that ambitious and had good expectations for the company fcaebook, so the conditions proposed by the founder of fcaebook and some senior executives on the board of directors were not a big problem for Ye Feng at all.

Whatever conditions and questions they raised, Ye Feng would answer them one by one and agree.

If there are conditions that Ye Feng cannot agree to, there is only one reason, and that is that fcaebook's senior management has made too many demands.

In fact, it was far from what Ye Feng imagined. The negotiation process between him and Zach in front of the board of directors went very smoothly. The other party did not put forward any harsh requirements. Instead, he unilaterally asked Ye Feng if he had any conditions. I was afraid that Ye Feng would regret it.

It is not uncommon for Ye Feng to be afraid of accidents. There are many large companies that want to acquire fcaebook at this time, and it is also the first time for Ye Feng to talk about cooperation with Americans. But what he doesn't know is that several directors of fcaebook actually know that he After purchasing 4% of fcaebook's shares at a price of US$40 million, they are putting pressure on founder Zuckerberg to agree to the investment.

The reason is very simple. Not every investor can tolerate the temptation of money. Most people's idea is to make a little money by investing and immediately put it in their pockets.

This is quite similar to the Chinese.

What's more, the price given by Ye Feng was not low. It was US$4 million, which only acquired 40% of fcaebook's shares. It missed Yahoo's US$8 million acquisition. The directors did not want to miss this US$4 million again.

As long as this investment case is negotiated, then fcaebook's market value will naturally rise from a valuation of US$5.5 million to a valuation of US$10 billion.

after the board.

Ye Feng was brought to the office by Zach, and the directors did not follow him. The two founders of the same young and equally successful company were given time to communicate alone.

Chen Xiao confirmed the detailed steps of the investment contract with fcaebook legal affairs.

Feng Zheng didn't follow either and was arranged in the tea room. Wang Xin had to follow Ye Feng to act as Ye Feng's translator. Wang Xin looked at the two people in the office who were talking happily. They could be said to be the two most outstanding people born in the 80s. I feel faintly proud of my status as an investor, and at the same time I feel emotional that these two post-80s generation are really amazing. In addition to politics and business circles, they may be the two most powerful post-80s generation in the world in the future.

Zach was happy too.

He is happy for two reasons. The first reason is that after Ye Feng's investment, the company will no longer need to raise funds in a short period of time and will not be short of money.

Second, Ye Feng actually did not interfere in the company's operations.

This was a huge surprise for Zach, and it was also one of the main reasons why he agreed to this investment. In his view, the founder of a company must have a corresponding say.

If the founder of the company does not have a say in the company's decision-making on the board of directors, he will become a puppet sooner or later, and the company's direction will be irreparably deflected if he makes a wrong step.Zach knew that Ye Feng was coming to the United States, so he went to a Chinese shop and bought some tea. He made tea and handed it to Ye Feng, and happily said a series of American English to Ye Feng, which made Ye Feng a little confused.

"It was such a pleasure meeting and discussing with you this time."

Wang Xin translated to Ye Feng: "Originally, I thought that the transaction communication between us might not be smooth. I didn't expect that Mr. Ye, you are such a good person. This is the tea I bought from the Chinese store. Please try it. taste."

Ye Feng took a sip of tea. It was Biluochun. Although it didn't taste as good as the ones we drink in China, it was okay.

“Thank you. Tea tastes very good.”

For this sentence, Ye Feng didn't ask Wang Xin to translate it, he just did it himself. Even though he couldn't write a long sentence in English, he could still say a few sentences in poor English, such as "good".

Wang Xin smiled beside her and didn't say anything. She was actually snickering in her heart. She didn't expect Ye Feng to have such a funny side. Can people not find it funny that he has to speak English in front of Americans?
This is the same reason that Chinese people find it funny for Americans to learn Chinese.

Of course, Wang Xin doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with this. If you want to improve your English, you still need to communicate with pure Americans. This is the correct way to improve your English.

So Wang Xin was happy to be at ease when Ye Feng didn't look at her, and instead of translating, she let Ye Feng stammer in Chinese English.

Ye Feng felt that communication was a bit difficult, but he still insisted on communicating by himself. Zach really couldn't understand, so he just made gestures, but the feeling of being able to communicate with Americans in English made him very excited.

The most important thing is Zach Niubi.

As the saying goes, China has the alien Mr. Ma, and the United States has the robot Zack.

In Ye Feng's heart, Zach is undoubtedly a very powerful person. His EQ and IQ are extremely high, so high that he is different. Although he is also powerful now, Ye Feng still feels that way. In any case, his appearance is equivalent to a plug-in, and there is still a big gap compared to Zach.

Of course, Ye Feng doesn't look down on himself.

It’s not that everyone who knows history can think of using cheats to make the first pot of gold. Sometimes knowing is one thing, but whether you can make it is another.

For example, now Ye Feng knows about fast payment, cloud computing, and even knows that 5G will be developed by Huawei. Is it useful?It's not useful at all, you still have to do it step by step to be useful.

Ye Feng used small things to make big things, starting with what he could master, such as developing plug-ins, and letting them be monetized, and then he got to where he is today step by step. As for the emergence of "Fire Line Assault".

It was also an accident that accelerated his pace, and he inadvertently took the route of Penguin and Shi Yuzhu.

Overall, the several-hour conversation between Ye Feng and Zach was quite enjoyable. They both recognized each other. Ye Feng really felt that Zach was better than him, and Zach felt that Ye Feng was very broad-minded.

It's not something ordinary people can compare to.

The most important thing is that Zach really likes Ye Feng to give him the right to speak in the company in the future, and Ye Feng also gives him a way out. When one day, fcaebook wants to buy back the shares in Ye Feng, Ye Feng needs to unconditionally agree to fcaebook. It is also very important to buy back 20% of his shares at the current stock price.

As for the rest, it will take more than two rounds of talks to finalize the details of the cooperation, such as contract review and equity re-division, which all take time.

In the end, Ye Feng did not speak English, but stood up, shook hands with Zach, and said gently in Chinese: "It was a pleasure talking today, and I am very happy to meet you."

Wang Xin translated it to Zach.

Zach shook hands happily and replied: "Me too, my friend."
