Chapter 40 Investing
Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook.

In February of this year, Mark Zuckerberg founded an early Facebook, The Facebook, with the help of his roommates, Eduardo Saverin, Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskowitz. .

Up to now, this future website of one of the largest social network service websites in the world has already reached a considerable scale.

In June, Mark Zuckerberg moved his entire Facebook team to Palo Alto, where Stanford University is located, the birthplace of the future Silicon Valley.

Facebook at this time, because of the joining of Sean Parker, the entire Facebook is on the road of steady development.

However, due to the shortage of funds, it is impossible to upgrade various operating equipment such as network servers. Mark Zuckerberg and his friends are worrying about where they can get an investment to develop Facebook.

And Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who had sent people to keep an eye on the development of Facebook, knew that this was the best investment opportunity, and immediately asked Sony for leave and got on a plane to the United States.

In his plan, this step of investing in Facebook is very important.

And only by investing in Facebook in the early stage, can we have ample funds before 2011 to realize Kiyoshi Sakamoto's "Sony Butake" plan.

From RB Tokyo to American HSD, and then to Palo Alto.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto ran towards his future golden thigh non-stop.

As early as a few months ago, under the instruction of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Kagawa in the financial management team had already hooked up with Sean Parker, who is now the president of Facebook. Berger's influence was great.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto revealed to Sean Parker his intention to invest in Facebook through Kagawa, Sean Parker also agreed with the arrival of foreign funds, which can make Facebook develop faster.

So Sean Parker also told Mark Zuckerberg that an investment company from RB wanted to invest in Facebook.

Although Mark Zuckerberg does not want other companies to enter, he is afraid that it will affect his dominance on Facebook.But because of Sean Parker's strong persuasion, he finally agreed to meet Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

And this meeting was also the first time that Kiyoshi Sakamoto came to the front desk, as the boss of TOP Investment Company, to lead this Facebook investment.Because Kiyoshi Sakamoto is confident that he can persuade Mark Zuckerberg to let him invest in Facebook and become a shareholder of Facebook.

Speaking of forward-looking, in this world, who can compare with Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who was reborn from the future?
August 2004, [-], Palo Alto, California.In a small estate.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto finally met the famous founder who must die, the youngest billionaire in the future, Mark Zuckerberg.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto specially wore a black suit for today's meeting, just to be more formal, looking like a consortium son from RB, so as to let Mark Zuckerberg know how much he values ​​this The future development of Facebook will come all the way from RB to invest in them.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto really did everything he could to get a stake in Facebook.

When talking to the future youngest billionaire, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has no pressure at all.

After all, as a genius and a monster who can learn everything quickly, he has already taught himself a few languages ​​for himself. The more common English, French, Spanish, and Arabic are all OK, let alone Chinese. Yes, the first mother tongue.

And as far as the current net worth is concerned, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is now a few blocks away from Mark Zuckerberg. After all, Facebook is still in its infancy.

During the conversation, Kiyoshi Sakamoto first chatted with Mark Zuckerberg about the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook, and at the same time greatly appreciated Mark Zuckerberg's advanced ideas.Mark Zuckerberg was very surprised. Unexpectedly, this "consortium son" far away from RB would know a small social networking site in the United States, which also made him feel very proud and recognized Sakamoto Kiyoshi.

After all, Facebook is the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg. When he hears other people's appreciation for his hard work, he will definitely think that person is a person who knows the goods, and he will have a good impression of that person psychologically.

And Sean Parker on the side also agrees with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's idea that it must develop quickly so that Facebook can dominate the United States.Therefore, he also helped Kiyoshi Sakamoto to say good things on the sidelines, coupled with Kiyoshi Sakamoto's important sentence, finally let Mark Zuckerberg let go and agreed to let Kiyoshi Sakamoto invest in shares.

The decisive sentence is: to give up all management rights and management rights, and to vote for Mark on the board of directors forever.

After negotiating the conditions, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked Mark Zuckerberg how much money he needed, Mark Zuckerberg just said that $50 was enough, but Kiyoshi Sakamoto invested $100 million.

And this 100 million US dollars was exchanged for 15.00% of Facebook's initial undiluted shares!

You know, in 2007, before the listing, the stock price of Facebook had already reached a high price of [-] million for [-]% of the shares!

After going public in 2012, Facebook's share price has risen again, reaching [-]% of shares equal to one billion US dollars!

Although the 15.00% stake will definitely be diluted after accepting the entry of major venture capital, but the successful acquisition of shares in Facebook means that in the future, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will at least become an RB person with a net worth of more than one billion , and the billion is in US dollars, not Japanese yen.

After writing all the promises they said into the contract, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Mark Zuckerberg signed their names on the equity contract.

This also confirms that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is now the second largest shareholder of Facebook. (Mark Zuckerberg owns over 50.00%.)
In the evening, in order to celebrate the joining of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Mark Zuckerberg, Sean Parker and others held a party for Facebook insiders in the manor.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto was also at this party, had a great time and drank some wine.

Fortunately, when he was in RB, he secretly drank, otherwise, if he drank it for the first time, he would definitely make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

The next day, because it was rare to come to Palo Alto, the birthplace of Silicon Valley in the future, Kiyoshi Sakamoto thought of taking a stroll here, to see if he could see a future Silicon Valley giant or something, and to give it to a friend, Bring some gifts or something with the family.

Well, I haven't seen Xiaoqiao for a long time, what should I bring her.

Knowing that Nanami Hashimoto's family is difficult, Kiyoshi Sakamoto doesn't want to make Nanami Hashimoto, who is strong and hardworking in the future, become another person because of his financial help.

So when Kiyoshi Sakamoto helped Xiaoqiao, in many cases, he just helped the Hashimoto family in some small places, like bringing them some useful gifts, every festival is good, he would send some small furniture, home appliances and so on of.

As for Sakamoto’s family, Sakamoto’s father and Sakamoto’s mother are the kind who don’t go abroad to play, so just bring them some foreign specialties; and the younger brother Sakamoto’s wind, as long as he brings him a lot of food, he will happy.

There is also Mr. Fukuyama, whom I haven’t seen for a long time. Recently, Fukuyama Masaharu was too busy. Throughout 2004, he only released a single. When there is a radio program, he will be on it, and sometimes he will walk away to announce. The days are very happy. .This won't work, I need to bother this lazy man more, go to his office for a walk?

Hmm, good idea.

Well, there are also two other goddesses of "Acting Club", Gakki and Majiang, who are also to be brought.

Ahhhhh!

I don't know what to bring them!

On the streets of Palo Alto, Kiyoshi Sakamoto shouted silently.A certain wretched man who values ​​sex over friends has long forgotten that there are Ogawa Masaki and Chiba Masaki in the band.

There is no way, who said Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the most straight man in the universe, he likes women, he doesn't engage in homosexuality, and his three views are very upright.

Finally, under the introduction of the locals, Sakamoto bought some special products and food, and boarded the return plane.After all, Sony was pressing hard, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto was too embarrassed to let his teammates go on shows and promote singles all day long, while he was eating, drinking and having fun in the United States.

After asking for three days off, Kiyoshi Sakamoto returned to the various activities of THE SUN band again.

During the few days when Kiyoshi Sakamoto was away, there was an interesting thing about Ogawa.

When Xiao Chuanzhen was on variety shows, he used his unique calmness to complain and shine on the show, and several variety shows sent invitations all at once.

Because Ariyoshi Hiroyuki's poisonous tongue attribute has not yet been developed, so Ogawa, who is outspoken and has a bit of a poisonous tongue, has become the pioneer of the reaction of calmly complaining.

Great job, my teammate!

And another teammate, Chiba Masaki, was still not very relaxed when he was on the show, but he just behaved quite well.But according to him, he doesn't like to be funny in front of many people, so Sony still wants to include him in variety shows, and the idea of ​​being a young artist has also been dispelled.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, his teammates had their own encounters, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto felt a little confused.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who came back during the promotion period of the single, met another group under Johnny's & Associates, Arashi, during the last music program.

Nothing happened in this short meeting, it just deepened Kiyoshi Sakamoto's previous guess.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto's THE SUN band went to say hello to Lan, the five members of the other party just replied indifferently.

Generally speaking, when juniors come to visit and say hello, as seniors, they will politely say something nice, but when they met Johnny’s group twice, THE SUN or directly Kiyoshi Sakamoto, they didn’t get any good looks or good words. This is a bit strange.

After returning to Sony, Kiyoshi Sakamoto received a call from his teacher, Masaharu Fukuyama.

"Moshi Moshi, teacher? What's the matter?"

"KIYO, you may be being targeted by Johnny."
