A lady sent this over just now. Geli Literature Network

Mark, who had already woken up, raised his chin and pointed to a box of macarons of various colors on the table.

Raisa, who heard the movement in the kitchen, hurried out, It was Mrs. Giffel, and I gave her some almond cookies. She said that she met you at the door just now, so she sent some snacks to Mr. Mark. Let's try it with you.

Daniel nodded, We'll go out for lunch, and you'll come back at night.

Risa doesn't live here. Carly Simon, the American singer who introduced her to Daniel, was her previous employer. It's just that Daniel's place is closer to their home, so he introduced her to Daniel. He and Carly didn't know each other at first, but when Sally was helping him buy a house, she happened to meet the original owner who entrusted the villa to Carly. It's the same, it's always easy to negotiate the business.

Because it is the off-season and the original owner is eager to sell, the discount is still good.

Speaking of which, on Martha's Vineyard, housing transactions are very active. The housing prices here are twice as high as other places, and it is also a place to spend summer. During times of crisis, they are more inclined to deal with real estate here, so there are houses that are sold because of bankruptcy all the time. Correspondingly, there are also people who want to come here to prove their wealth because of their fortune.

Speaking of which, Daniel also belongs to this category.

It is normal to want to buy a villa in a summer resort to show off after a sudden fortune within two or three years. However, unlike others, he did all this silently. The time to move here was actually when work was suspended.

Reisa responded, served breakfast on the table, and left after they cleaned up the kitchen after eating.

At noon, let's go to the Black Dog Restaurant to eat seafood.

Black Dog Restaurant is a very famous restaurant on the island. Hearing what he said, Mark was a little surprised.

Daniel should be avoiding appearing in densely populated places now. Once recognized, the news will definitely be indispensable.

You can't be sneaky. If you are recognized, you will be recognized. I don't know how many celebrities and billionaires on the island. The paparazzi also have winks.

Nodding, Mark doesn't care.

The website will be launched at the end of this month. According to the test, the effect is very good.

f2f was originally available at the end of last year, but then there was a technical bug,

Had to postpone until the end of January.

Mark came here specially this time, mainly because there was a problem with the original promotion plan.

The executives of Google and mb have different opinions on the full promotion of f2f.

To be honest, Daniel didn't consider this at all. Mark was so focused on technology and website development that he didn't consider the big issue of promotion.

Javier single-handedly developed mb into today's scale. For the right to speak on social media, it can be said that it ranks first in the world, after participating in the f2f test. Javier expressed clearly and directly that he hoped that f2f could become a subsidiary of mb, and he and mb's management could not get involved in the operation at all, but the two parties must coordinate their actions.

As for Google, more than half of f2f's R\u0026D team are Google's technical engineers. The negotiation between Larry Page and Daniel lasted for so long. The understanding of f2f is also very deep, of course. That has nothing to do with technology and business secrets, just that Google is very familiar with this model. After all, in a series of cooperation terms between the two parties, there is also a cooperation method between f2f and Google search, but this time he also clearly opposed mb to f2f promotion.

What Daniel didn't expect was that f2f and mb are mutually exclusive.

Although the two sides have different focuses, for users, there is only mb originally. No matter whether he is inclined to the f2f model or the mb model, he will be an active user of mb. Once f2f exists, users will be further subdivided, and it is clear that the three-dimensional structure of f2f is far more attractive than the flat structure of mb.

Javier had to feel a sense of crisis.

Of course, even if Mark and Sandberg don’t make this website, someone else will. The huge success of mb has attracted countless capitals too early, just like hungry wolves waiting for suitable projects and websites. If f2f is entrusted to other people, you don't have to worry about money at all. As long as you take this mature plan and shout, you can basically choose investment funds.

So he didn't try to prevent the birth of f2f, but wanted to put f2f under mb, so that he could adjust the direction of f2f's operation and try to avoid the impact on mb.

Of course Mark would not agree.

He and the group of technicians were mostly attracted by this idea, so they left high-growth companies such as Google and Apple, and chose to be the veterans of f2f, and put f2f under mb, and were constrained by the above. , Mark is definitely not acceptable.

Daniel couldn't take it either.

He is not short of funds now, and the era of Internet wealth creation is relatively limited. Relatively speaking, his current conditions do not need to rely on selling profits to make f2f develop smoothly.

In this way, the promotion of f2f is more problematic.

Although he is the controlling shareholder of mb, but this involves harming mb's interests, Google will definitely not agree. If the major shareholder can so blatantly harm the public and private interests, the law is just a display.

What Shirley means is that we can do the promotion ourselves.

Glancing at Daniel, Mark was a little worried. Daniel had absolute control over f2f, and he had 10% equity dividends and voting rights in f2f—but the equity itself belonged to Daniel. I told him clearly that the employment contract also has clear terms, and the dividends have always belonged to him. If he wants to transfer this part of the rights and interests, he can resell them to Daniel as 10% of the actual shares. But the right to vote must continue to serve f2f to take effect.

This is how Daniel controls the company. Because if all goes well, f2f will develop into a 200 billion-level company, and any negligence will lead to unpredictable results.

same. This mode also allows f2f to develop completely according to Daniel's will.

If it is not based on the picture, it is difficult for Daniel himself to guarantee that it is appropriate to do so-any individual may have a blind spot, and once the blind spot becomes a decision-making consideration, the impact on the company will be terrible.

Therefore, Mark is very worried that Daniel will be scruples about Javier and mb. And the relationship with Google, so at some cost. Putting f2f under mb was the reason why he rushed to Massa Island in such a hurry.

He knew that Javier and Larry Page would try to persuade Daniel soon.

But. Mark has no confidence. On the one hand, there are companies with a valuation of billions and Internet giants like Google, and on the other hand, it is a new website with an uncertain future. I can't afford to argue.

Last night, Daniel had a brief chat with him, which was a bit of comfort.

But what Mark didn't know was that Daniel was also a little anxious. As far as he knows, Mark Zuckerberg's the-k was born earlier this year, in order to avoid problems. Website promotion must start quickly.

He simply doesn't have time to dawdle with google and mb.

Does Shirley have a specific promotion plan?

No, part of the original plan can still be used, but it will become fragmented if you leave mb. Mark answered quickly, and Daniel asked this question, which means he has made a decision.

We're going back today, and we have to go live before the end of the month.

Daniel began to recall the development process of Facebook in his mind. In fact, the operation of Facebook for a period of time was very piecemeal, with the help of Zuckerberg's teachers and roommates. The website was only launched online, and it only faced Harvard students, but in just 10 months, there were millions of users, and in less than two years, the valuation exceeded 2 billion US dollars. This is almost the social era The surest proof of a powerful charm.

Therefore, in terms of promotion, Daniel's pressure is actually not great.

This is one of the reasons why he looks relatively relaxed.

...

Near lunch, Daniel drove Mark to Black Dog, leaving his stunning Porsche in Los Angeles while the Mercedes was given to Cusa, given that he had announced he would be returning to Hollywood by at least June 2005 Filming The Immortal Gardener, so it is natural for Cusa to continue to work, and the contact with Fox and others has also continued to receive attention. This agent has almost become a half-star now.

By watching him, you can understand Daniel's arrangements. After all, many people are not sure whether The Immortal Gardener is Daniel's first movie after his return.

In the Black Dog restaurant, Daniel unexpectedly ran into Elisa.

Let Mark order first. He went over to chat with Mr. Rosenwalton, only to know that Elisa will return to Chicago in two days, so he brought her to try the tuna here.

Mark looked over, the two looked at each other and nodded.

Mr. Rosenwalton, the little girl is his granddaughter. Their villa is just next to my house, the one with junipers planted at the door.

Mark nodded and suddenly laughed, When you went to Stanford to see me, Jessica's cousin is called Catherine, right? It seems to be about the same age as this little girl, but unfortunately, this one is not a movie fan anymore.

He raised his eyebrows.

She said she was a fan of mine, but you certainly don't know which movie she likes most—The Pianist! The Lord of the Rings or Pirates of the Caribbean, even The Bourne and Greek Wedding, I wouldn't be so surprised.

The hobbies of rich families may be different from those of ordinary people.

The two didn't continue to talk about this. After eating, they went back to the room to pack up. Daniel and Mark returned to California. Martha Island has its own airport. Walk. (to be continued)
