Chapter 409. [Thunder Acquisition](1/2)
At the same time, news about "Havoc in Heaven" and Yi Feiyang were deleted for the first time, and the entire United States was shocked by another Internet incident, which was the Facebook social network launched by college student Mark Zuckerberg in February.
, was a great success, and this young IT youth suddenly became the darling of the United States! His momentum directly exceeded that of many people, and he was hailed as the proud son of the IT era!
When interviewing him on Sky TV, the largest TV station in the United States, Mark said this to the camera, "Oh God, although I don't understand what a miracle is? But I really created a miracle, didn't I? Now register on Facebook
The rate is much more than the number of people who registered for the game "Havoc in Heaven"! As for what I think of the hype-loving Chinese actor Yi, he is just a filmmaker who is good at packaging himself, nothing special. The previous hype blew him away.
It's amazing, but I want to say that he is just a mortal! Yes, in front of me, he couldn't be more ordinary!"
Mark's arrogant remarks were pursued by a large group of nationalists.
"Quickly drive China Yi off the altar. This guy who likes to hype has seriously destroyed our order!"
"China Yi is just a director who got lucky. We don't need such Chinese-Americans to become our idols!"
Although these remarks were not many, they still had a small impact on Yi Feiyang's supreme authority.
What will Yi Feiyang do about this?!
Inside the president's office of Fantasy Entertainment.
Yi Feiyang tapped the table gently with his fingers. Dures and Alex sat in front of him, waiting for his orders.
"I originally wanted to put everything down and concentrate on shooting my movie, but look at these terrible reports!"
Yi Feiyang casually threw away the newspapers that Mark had slandered him.
"We've already seen this. Mark from Facebook is young and energetic, and he doesn't speak properly. I don't think you'll mind too much!" Dures comforted Yi Feiyang. "Besides, your popularity and status now... these
One-sided words cannot shake your foundation at all, so why should you worry?"
"How could I not be too worried? I don't want a fire to break out in the backyard while I'm filming!"
"Impossible, this Mark doesn't seem to have that much energy!" Dures said uncertainly.
Yi Feiyang shook his head, he knew clearly. In the future, Facebook would be the world's number one social platform, and its influence would be so huge that it is hard to estimate.
In fact, Yi Feiyang regrets it now. Why didn't he think of Facebook when he was putting together the company's media organization? If Facebook had been done at once before it went online in February, there might not have been so many troubles. There may even be many in the future.
A huge public opinion bargaining chip.
"Damn it!" Yi Feiyang couldn't help but cursed.
Dures and Alex had never seen Yi Feiyang so angry. They thought he was angry about this matter, but they didn't know that Yi Feiyang was scolding himself for being short-sighted. He obviously had "foresight" but missed such a thing.
baby.
"Maybe it's not too late..." Yi Feiyang seemed to be talking to himself, "Alex, please prepare. Draw up an acquisition plan..."
Alex: "Boss, you mean... you want to acquire Facebook?"
Yi Feiyang nodded, "You are right, we just want to acquire it, no matter what the cost!"
Seeing that Yi Feiyang was speaking decisively, Dures still tried to dissuade him: "Yi, I don't think it's the right time yet. First, our previous large-scale acquisitions have consumed a lot of funds. Second, you are busy filming now.
And the investment in this drama is huge. Thirdly, I think Facebook is just a general social platform and there is no need to acquire it. If you feel upset, we can send a lawyer's letter and take legal measures to make them look good!"
Yi Feiyang shook his head: "No, I don't think so! In my opinion, this Internet company has great potential, especially in social networking. As long as we can't control it, it will become a big problem in the future, so no matter
No matter how difficult it is for us now, we must solve it, we must!"
"But in terms of funding..." Dures hesitated.
Yi Feiyang suddenly smiled, "Isn't it possible to get a loan?"
"Loan?" Dures and Alex were both stunned. Because Dream Entertainment's capital chain has always been self-sufficient and has never relied on external loans, and those big banks outside have never suffered losses in this regard.
Many companies in the past are eyeing it, and some even said that as long as Fantasy Entertainment can obtain a loan from this bank, it will be a guarantee of profitability. Because no one has ever doubted that Fantasy Entertainment will be in debt.
"Yes, you can choose a loan this time..." Yi Feiyang smiled evilly, because a very bad idea suddenly came to his mind. "You can go to Lehman Bank and get a loan of 300 million U.S. dollars, oh no, a loan of 300 million U.S. dollars."
A billion dollars in payments!”
"Lehman Bank? Three billion?!" Dures and Alex gasped.
"You're not mistaken? Yi, didn't you want to short this bank before? Why do you want to take out a loan now? Pay back so much of the loan at once?"
Yi Feiyang suddenly stopped tapping his fingers on the table, "You don't have to ask so many questions, but the loan term must be five years! Yes, it must be five years!"
Yi Feiyang sneered in his heart, if he remembers correctly, Lehman Bank went bankrupt in 2008, and he would not be able to get back the damn three billion by then! Of course it would go directly into his own pocket!
It is undeniable that this idea is despicable, but in capitalist countries, capital itself is evil.
Yi Feiyang's "five-year requirement" directly reminded Dures and Alex that neither of them were fools. After thinking about it for a while, they understood something...
But just at this point, they felt a chill.
If this is really the case, then the boss in front of you is too scary. Yes, only God or the devil can do this!
…
Today's Internet upstart Mark Zuckerberg is full of energy. After his Facebook was officially launched, he replaced his outdated classic car with a brand new red BMW.
Mark likes red and thinks it is a very happy color, of course. This was said by his girlfriend, who is of Chinese descent.
Generally speaking, Mark still prefers the Chinese, at least the food they cook is delicious. But this does not include the famous Yi Feiyang. The reason is very simple, Mark thinks that he is a genius. Therefore, geniuses are repulsive to similar people.
And jealous, not to mention that Yi Feiyang seems to be much more famous and successful than him.
In the morning, Mark kissed his family goodbye, then opened the door and prepared to take his BMW to school.
Suddenly someone asked: "Is this Mr. Mark?"
When Mark Zuckerberg took a look, he was a stranger with a smile on his face.
"Who are you……"
"Oh, hello, this is my business card. I am Alex, the investment director of Fantasy Entertainment. We have contacted each other on the phone, but it seems that you are not very happy to see me. So I took the initiative to come see you.
!”
"Is it you?" Mark frowned, "Then I think your waiting is in vain, because I will never sell Facebook, especially to your Fantasy Entertainment Company!"
"Don't be so firm. If it's a matter of purchase price, we can discuss it again!" Alex said, still smiling.
"Purchase price? Oh, actually I'm not interested in any price you offer!" Mark said as he walked towards his BMW. "You know, man, just in these few seconds while I'm talking to you
Zhong, my website has successfully earned dozens of cents. In other words, time is money now, and of course it belongs to me! And I believe that my website will bring me even greater wealth in the future.
Not your charity purchase price!" Mark smiled contemptuously and got into the car.
"Wait a minute, actually I have something else to say..." But before Alex could finish speaking, Mark Zuckerberg had already started the engine and stepped on the accelerator.
Poor Alex, he ate a mouthful of car farts.
"Damn, this guy is so cool!" Alex, who had never stepped out easily, but was rejected this time, loosened his tie in anger. Looking at Che Ying, a challenge arose in his heart, "I will always make you cry."
Look for me with your nose turned! Yes, I will!"
…
Since Fantasy Entertainment acquired Google Network, it has made great efforts in computer program development and server development.
As the largest boss of Google, Yi Feiyang has never interfered with any of Google's plans and decisions, and has never stopped investing in it. He is even willing to spend a lot of money to help it complete upgrades, because Yi Feiyang clearly knows that in the Internet age,
, only if you are at the forefront of the ranks can you dominate everything and become the real winner.
But today, Yi Feiyang gave Google a very important task. No one knows what the specific content of this task is, but from the beginning, the newly launched Facebook was destined to encounter a catastrophe.
Inside Facebook.
"How is the situation now?" Mark, who was still energetic in the morning, looked haggard.
"It's not good. I don't know why. Tens of thousands of registered users suddenly came in. Our server couldn't keep up at all and was paralyzed!" the technician in charge of maintenance said with a grimace.
"I don't care about this, I just want to know when it will be repaired?!"
"It's hard to say. Judging from the current paralysis situation, it will take at least a week!"
"One week? No, it's too long!" Mark shook his head, "Three days, the server must be repaired within three days!" Mark ordered, "Otherwise you and I will be in big trouble!"
Yes, it will be bad luck.
In fact, since Facebook has been running smoothly for more than two months, Mark has started to think about listing the website in order to raise more funds to develop the company. Now he has basically negotiated with several partners and is waiting for them
He took out the money, but suddenly encountered this kind of thing, which really gave him a headache.
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
…
Facebook's sudden server crash caused an uproar throughout the United States. This social networking site, which was originally favored by major media, had only been officially launched for less than two months, but it encountered such technical difficulties, which made people very worried.
technical support and future prospects.
"We doubt that Facebook can continue to develop smoothly. After all, its flaws have made us more aware of its imperfections!"
"Maybe this is just a flash in the pan and Facebook lacks technological foresight!"
"A company that's about to go bankrupt!"
"A company that is about to go bankrupt!"
“The shortest-lived company ever!”
