Chapter 401： interest (1/2)
I do n’t know if it ’s a happy mood. Wang Yang loves Palo Alto as he sees it more and more. After going around with his family, the two did not disappoint the real estate agent and decided to buy it for millions of dollars. A house surrounded by greenery was selected earlier. It occupies a total area of more than 5000 square feet (about 464 square meters), the garden has a swimming pool, the house is not huge, but also has 5 bedrooms, a gym, a video room and bathroom, etc., to his satisfaction Say ”feeling at home”.
The new house has been renovated, and Wang Yang and Jessica have no plans to change their appearance for the time being. They just need to add some furniture and appliances, put some carpet on the floor, and hang some decorations on the wall, and then repair it. When the garden and lawn are filled with water, the construction of a warm and comfortable new home is basically completed. On the next Sunday, the two were happily busy with the purchase and construction work with the help of their family and friends.
”Oh! Be careful with my fingers! I'm hit!”, ”How about the sofa here? Is it artistic?”, ”Yang, is there anything else to buy in the living room?” ...
”Hello, Mr. Wang, it's nice to meet you.” In a deserted study in his new home, Wang Yang talked with Mark Zuckerberg and his girlfriend Priscilla Chen, who came to the door, and this was a meeting through Chen Shijun. The reason is that Zuckerberg wants to buy the domain name ”k.” In the hands of Wang Yang, so as to remove THE from his company's social networking site ”The-k”.
The-k has gotten rid of the entanglement of the lawsuit. In May of this year, it just won a $ 12.7 million venture investment from el-Partners. However, although it is developing at a high speed, it is still limited to college students in the United States. Andrew McCollum, one of the founders, will go back to Harvard to study, but Mark Zuckerberg seems determined to stay in Silicon Valley. Bigger, and a simpler domain name is an important step. Who knows that the k domain name is actually held in my hand by magic, and said, ”This is a surprise.”
”Mark, Priscilla, I'm glad to meet you.” Wang Yang reached out and shook hands with the two to meet. I saw Priscilla-Chen, who was an idol, almost unable to suppress her excitement. She even expressed her admiration as a fan. Chen Shijun glanced at Zha with a smirk. Kerberg glanced. Everyone is the latest trendy young people. At this time, it is not the style of home summer casual wear. When sitting on the wooden chair, Chen Shijun smiled and said: ”Yang, welcome to Palo Alto.” Wang Yang nodded and smiled. : ”Everyone, welcome to my house.”
Because Wang Yang was still busy with decorating the living room, he had little time to chat, and Mark Zuckerberg made the goal straightforward: ”Yang, we want to buy the k. Domain name.” Earlier on the phone, Wang Yang smiled Nodded: ”I've been waiting for this moment. Steve recommended your website to me last year, and then I became one of the users this year. I think it's interesting. I'm optimistic about you.”
Despite long-term confidence, Zuckerberg and Priscilla were very happy to hear the praise of Miracle Yang. His eyes loved to represent a large number of young people. The two heard Wang Yang again: ”You know I don't need more than a hundred thousand dollars, but I think K is a website with unlimited potential. I am very interested in joining it. I don't know how to become a shareholder. I hope you know that I have Sincerity will certainly help the website. ”
”Yes, we know.” Priscilla nodded, and Zuckerberg pondered the words. He had thought about these before he came, and had discussions with the company's executives to bring funds, thoughts, popularity, cooperation, It is not a bad thing for the magical Yang of the domain name to join the company, the problem is the distribution of shares and power, and there is always something in his heart to beat the magical Yang, although Yang is not all from Silicon Valley, on the other hand, he admires this elderly The four-year-old guy turned into a partnership ... Zuckerberg nodded and asked, ”Do you have any suggestions for K about it?”
”After joining the stock, I will not participate too much, more like investment, how can I have so much time?” Wang Yang smiled and expressed some attitudes, he looked at Chen Shijun again, and said: ”But I really have a suggestion! It ’s time to expand the user base to high school, because I really want to add a high school student as a friend! Jeremy Lin. ”He asked Chen Shijun with great interest:“ I did n’t even know that there is a high Chinese star in the Bay Area, oh my God! What's going on with that guy? ”
There was a burst of cheers and laughter in the study, and there were many more talks about basketball than the website, but this meeting was not fruitless. The two sides made preliminary verbal intentions. Wang Yang will use domain names and funds to acquire a certain percentage of shares.
As for the specific contract details, it needs to be slowly negotiated and finalized. However, Wang Yang is more interested in negotiating the price with the electrical store owner together with Jessica. So far he is not a Silicon Valley person who is better than a Silicon Valley person. Not only does he move into Palo Alto to live, personally It also owns two new cutting-edge websites, GGER and UTUBE, as well as valuable Google shares and K shares that look promising. Of course, unless they are sold at a discount, they are not only floating virtual money, he also has to burn money to fill the account, pay for the game to continue, the faster UTUBE develops, the more it burns.
The news that Wang Yang and Jessica bought new homes was quickly exposed by gossip media, and almost even the details of the houses were published. The style of their homes has always been simple, compared to those of tens of thousands and tens of thousands of square feet. A large mansion, Wang Yang's new home can be described as small and exquisite.
