My 1999

Chapter 706 Facebook

Xu Liang, hugging him from left to right, like a dragon and two phoenixes, was naturally extremely happy.

But after enjoying it for half a month, he had to leave.

Christina and Helen were about to give birth, and their father and mother called him twice a day to hurry up.

Although she is a foreign daughter-in-law, she is pregnant with a daughter of the old Xu family, so she cannot be treated lightly.

Therefore, at the end of October, Xu Liang flew from Xiangjiang to Silicon Valley on the Kunpeng.

"You brat, you are so useless. After all, you are pregnant with a child. It's about to be born, and you just came here to take a look. If you were not my son, I would slap you with a big mouth." Xu Yongpei scolded.

"Don't be angry, you won't do it again."

Xu Liang said simply.

"Apologies to Christina and Helen."

Xu Liang looked at his serious father and mother, and he could feel their intentions.

It was nothing more than trying to ease his relationship with Christina and Helen.

But they had no idea that what maintained the relationship between these two women and him was not the so-called feelings at all, but the interests involved.

But since the old couple said so, he had to give them face.

Looking at Christina and Helen who were sitting next to them with their big bellies.

"Dear wives, I was wrong. I will come here early next time to take care of you."

Christina and Helen are both smart people. They understand their relationship with Xu Liang very well. They climbed into his bed just for profit.

Now of course I won't embarrass Xu Liang over a trivial matter like sesame seeds and mung beans.

Compared to money, what does having a child mean to you?

However, through this incident, they also discovered that Xu's father and Xu's mother had an unparalleled status in Xu Liang's heart.

As long as they please the two elderly people, there is no doubt that they will get more support from Xu Liang.

"Honey, we forgive you."

"Yes, husband, we have never blamed you."...

"Look, what a wonderful wife, you should cherish it in the future." Wang Lingxiang said from the side.

"Don't worry, I will definitely cherish it in the future."

Xu Liang lowered his eyebrows and finished speaking.

"Mom and Dad, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We have a lot of things to say, and it's getting late. Why don't you and my dad go have a rest first?"

Wang Lingxiang nodded.

"For the sake of admitting your mistake, let's forget it today. If you do it again in the future, don't blame me for being rude. ...Xu Yongpei, let's go."

Dad stood up quickly.

Brave, high-spirited, and behaved very badly.

Come downstairs.

Xu Yongpei couldn't help but said: "What kind of ecstasy soup did this brat of ours give to Christina and Helen? How can two women coexist peacefully with one husband?!"

"My son is amazing. Didn't you see that Mingzhen and Yezhen in South Korea are two girls who share the same husband?"

"That's true. But it would be great if this brat could gather so many of his wives together. It would also save us running around. I can also see Mai Mai, McDull, Xiao Jinzi, Xiao Yu'er and Yuan Bao every day. "

Wang Lingxiang was also a little moved, but after thinking about it, she shook her head.

"Forget it, two women are not good enough together. If seven or eight women are together, they will have to fight.

Let's not cause trouble for him. "

——

After his parents left, Xu Liang sighed and sat down on the sofa next to him.

Waved.

Christina and Helen came over consciously and sat next to him, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Okay, I can speak Mandarin decently in less than a year."

"My parents are old and they can't learn English, so we have to learn Mandarin," Helen said.

Christina nodded in agreement, then took Xu Liang's right hand and placed it on her bulging belly.

"Honey, the two little guys are so active when they know their father is coming to see them."

Like Qiao Yuhui, she was also pregnant with a boy and a girl with double yolks.

Not to be outdone, Helen put Xu Liang's left hand on her lower abdomen.

"Husband, little Carlos also likes his father very much."

Without the constraints of Xu's father and Xu's mother, the two women instantly revealed their true colors.

Competing for favor and credit, each refuses to give in to the other.

Xu Liang looked at them with a headache as they were at war with each other.

"Okay, please calm down your temper. They are all my children and I like them all. Also, give me the development report I asked you to prepare."

The two of them each picked up their handbags and handed the Facebook development report and the Twitter development report into Xu Liang's hands.

When it came to business, the two of them calmed down.

Jealousy is only a small part, Facebook and Twitter are the most important.

Xu Liangxian picked up Facebook and started reading it.

It has been ten months since Facebook was founded in January this year.

With the support of Xu Liang and after burning nearly 100 million US dollars, Facebook is now the largest social networking site in the United States and the largest social networking site in the Five Eyes Alliance.

However, Facebook's current scope of influence is still limited to students.

All registered users are college students and middle school students from the Five Eyes Alliance.

But just this group of users has allowed Facebook's registered users to exceed 20 million.

But Facebook has never been profitable since its development.

Keep burning money.

"What's going on with the lawsuit against Rose Network now?"

Rose.com is a social networking site that was incubated by the incubator of Hanhua Capital's Silicon Valley venture capital department.

Xu Liang originally had high hopes for them, hoping that they could become Facebook.

As a result, after people listened to his analysis, they didn't take it seriously at all.

Not only did they not accept Hanhua’s Series A investment, they also gave up the path that Xu Liang had planned for them to put school first and then society, and directly opened registration to the whole society.

After Facebook came out, when it started to develop relatively weakly, nothing happened.

But when it developed, Xu Liang, who was hiding behind the scenes, could no longer hide it.

Companies such as Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers that have invested in Rose Network certainly do not want another competitor.

Therefore, Rose.com was encouraged to initiate a lawsuit against Facebook on the pretext of copyright infringement.

This lawsuit was accepted by the California Intermediate Court in July.

Both sides are currently collecting evidence.

"It's still in the proof stage, and the trial won't start until January next year." Helen said quickly.

"Is the evidence from the Rose Network a big threat to us?"

"There is no threat. The website designs of Facebook and Rose.com are different, the source codes of both parties are also different, and the development models are not much similar, so it is impossible to lose the lawsuit.

Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins Caufield \u0026 Byers simply want to use the law to slow down Facebook's development. "

Xu Liang nodded slightly.

"I'm more worried about the Capella High School and University of Rochester fraternity class action lawsuits than the Rosenet lawsuit."

Once a company develops, it will encounter various problems.

There are commercial competitors and private institutions.

Capella High School and the University of Rochester fraternity sued Facebook for violating privacy.

“Just litigate, there will definitely be no shortage of similar lawsuits in the future.

But we must hire the best team of lawyers, we must not lose. "

Helen nodded, "But the money in the account is no longer enough."

"It doesn't matter, I will provide another $100 million in loans to Facebook." Xu Liang said.

"Why a loan? Just give it.

Anyway, Facebook will be your son’s property from now on. "

After glancing at her, Xu Liang said calmly: "Once the rules are set, they cannot be broken. Otherwise, why are there still rules?"

Xu Liang’s equity in Facebook is only 49%, of which 51% belongs to Helen.

But there is also a supplementary agreement in this equity agreement.

After the birth of their child, Helen's equity was transferred to the family trust, while Xu Liang's equity was transferred to the family charity fund.

If Xu Liang invests $100 million, Facebook's equity structure will be changed.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

Facebook is too sensitive, and it would be better to have Helen in the hands of a wealthy family backed by the Montes family.

"Dear, you are too sensitive. The United States is not as exclusive as you think. Everyone in the world who recognizes freedom and democracy can realize their American dream in the United States."

"Do you believe this yourself?"

'American dream'?

Just lying to a fool.

In this three-thirds of an acre of land in the United States, it has always been white people who truly hold power.

And it’s the Jews and the British among the white people.

Others, especially Easterners, will remain second-tier rich until they die. All core industries and departments in the United States cannot be handed over to Easterners.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. How is the acquisition of Mete going now?"

"Zuckerberg has agreed, but I think the asking price of US$50 million is too expensive for a website that only has 4 million users and has never been profitable." Helen said.

"Agree to him. However, there is an ancillary agreement in the contract. Zuckerberg must serve as Facebook's chief operating officer. In addition, the non-compete agreement has a minimum period of three years." Xu Liangdao.

After he bought the domain name of Facebook in this life, it grew rapidly with the support of abundant funds, directly interrupting Zuckerberg's rise.

But Xu Liang is still very afraid of this guy.

Want to nip the danger in the bud.

Helen frowned and said, "Is it necessary? Even without acquisition, Mete will not be able to develop."

"Of course it is necessary. You have to be clear. What we lack most now is not money, but development. The acquisition of Mete will allow Facebook to directly add 4 million users and save us at least three months of development time.

With these three months, we can further widen the gap with Rose.com and Myspace and establish our position as the world's number one social networking site.

If our users can exceed 30 million, we can gradually open up external registration. One step faster will lead to faster steps.

When Facebook develops, we can earn back ten times or a hundred times the money we invest now. "

"Well, you are the one who invested the money anyway." Helen shrugged.

"Has the logging function I sent you an email to develop developed?" Xu Liang asked.

"The R\u0026D department has already developed it, and new versions can be updated at any time."

"Then update it with richer functions to attract more and more users."

The current Facebook website, because of Xu Liang, is still different from the original Facebook in history.

In addition to basic information, there are functions such as photo albums, friends, alumni groups, and mailboxes.
