Chapter 1368 - Zuckerberg
Chapter 1368 – Zuckerberg
Feng Yu planned to remain in Shanghai for a few days and get closer to Zhou Kexin as she had warmed up to his feelings. But Kameda Masao’s call disrupted his plan. Kameda Masao called to inform him that Zuckerberg had started developing Facebook. He insisted on meeting Feng Yu when they approached him to invest. Or else, he will not negotiate!
Feng Yu is interested in Zuckerberg and does not mind meeting him. He called his family to inform them he will be going to the US and flew to New York on his private jet.
“Boss, I had let you down. Is that young man that important? We can support someone else who is better.” Kameda Masao apologized to Feng Yu for failing to invest in Facebook.
Kameda Masao thought Zuckerberg would agree to Wind and Rain Holdings investing in Facebook, as he made a lucrative offer. The initial investment is more than 100 million, and Zuckerberg will get 5% of Facebook’s shares. The shares are worth 5 million USD, and it should be enough.
Zuckerberg is only 20 years old, and not everyone is a genius like Feng Yu at this age. But he insisted on meeting Feng Yu before he decided. Many investment institutions had approached him, and it gave him more negotiation power.
Feng Yu had instructed he must be notified immediately if anyone creates a website similar to the Chinese Web. They must try to acquire it at all costs.
“No. This young man has high potential. This website is currently targeting youngsters, and he has his ideas for promoting this website. He is from Harvard, and this is good marketing material. Of course, if he is too greedy, we can find ways to curb him.”
Feng Yu had thought about setting up Facebook in the US after the Chinese Web is successful in China. But he knows it is hard to monopolize the market. All the top global companies require partners.
That’s why Feng Yu’s investments in the US, and some investments in China, have partners. He doesn’t mind not getting the controlling shares as long as the company is making money.
Feng Yu also wants to see history will change if he did not interfere. Very obvious, it did happen according to what happened in his previous life.
“Boss, we have to meet that kid in Boston because of his school.”
“It’s alright as I want to visit Boston too. I heard it is renowned for its universities and our Wind and Rain Team also has a match with the Celtics there in a few days. I can watch that game while I am there.”
……
Zuckerberg is a Harvard student and had started a social website from his hostel. This website is Facemesh, and it compares female students’ pictures to let visitors decide who is more attractive.
But not everybody likes to have their pictures used for comparison, and it attracted some flacks. Zuckerberg refused to apologize, and his school’s server cannot support the huge traffic to his website. It was forced to shut down.
As Zuckerberg was about to give up this idea, someone unexpected approached him. It’s Wind and Rain Holdings’ President, Kameda Masao. This is the World’s Richest Man’s company!
Zuckerberg had wanted to continue with this website, but he lacks funds. He had wanted to contact his seniors who had graduated to get them to invest. Alumni start many businesses.
For example, Bill Gates had approached a top Yahoo executive, his schoolmate, for investment when he just started.
Kameda Masao’s offer is very attractive, but Zuckerberg’s shares are too little. He is the founder of this website, and how can he own only 5%? Although this 5% share is worth a lot.
Zuckerberg heard many stories about Feng Yu. He knows Feng Yu is someone who values people and is very generous. That’s why he wishes to meet Feng Yu and try to get more out of this deal. He is also curious about this self-made billionaire, who is less than thirty years old!
Many young people are worshipping Feng Yu as their idol. Feng Yu is very mysterious and seldom appears in the media. He always wears a pair of sunglasses and face masks in pictures, and no one can see his face.
Zuckerberg is puzzled over this. If he becomes a billionaire, he will want to be under the spotlight and let everyone remember his face. Maybe this will make the Chinese girl he likes agree to be his girlfriend.
Today, Zuckerberg had rushed over from Cambridge City to Boston. He is very excited as the World’s Richest Man, Feng Yu, will be meeting him.
Although Zuckerberg’s website had attracted many investment institutions’ attention, he hopes he can get Feng Yu’s investment. He admires Feng Yu deeply, and Wind and Rain Holding’s offer is slightly better than other offers. Of course, he wishes he can get more out of this deal.
…….
“Mr. Kameda, am I late?” Zuckerberg entered a hotel room and looked at his watch. At the same time, he noticed a young Chinese man beside Kameda Masao. Is this person the World’s Richest Man? He looks quite ordinary and not overbearing.
“Mark, this is our Wind and Rain Holding’s Chairman, Feng Yu. He is also the World’s Richest Man you wanted to meet.”
Zuckerberg rushed over with open arms and then changed to extend his right arm for a handshake. He almost forgets that the Chinese seldom hug during their first meetings.
“Mr. Feng, it’s great to see you. This is unbelievable. I am shaking hands with the World’s Richest Man!” Zuckerberg is overly excited.
Feng Yu is laughing in his heart because the World’s Youngest Billionaire in his previous life is so excited to meet him.
“Nice to meet you. I heard from Kameda Masao that you wanted to meet me to discuss our investment. That’s why I’m here.”
