At the reception, it was thought that Li Mu was an unexpected match with Anne Hathaway, and Steve Johnson, the CEO of Sequoia Capital.

Steve Johnson, who has been chatting with several big names in the capital circle, has a thought in his heart after seeing the intimate actions of Li Mu and Anne Hathaway unconsciously.

Steve · Johnson has been paying attention to Li Mu. After seeing him and Spielberg and Anne Hathaway ending the chat, Steve · Johnson walked to Spielberg with his wine glass. Followed and smiled and said to him: "Steven, my friend is gone!"

Spierberg looked up to see him, surprised said with a laugh said: "Hello Mr. Johnson, really long gone! didn't expect you are here today."

Steve · Johnson smiled slightly and said: "Muye Science and Technology is a partner of Sequoia. How can I not come to support such a big thing."

Finally, Steve · Johnsonlooks at Spielberg, asked: "I heard that you have been making movies in China recently?"

"Yes." Spielberg nodded and said, "I have been busy shooting the movie recently."

Spierberg then introduced to Steve Johnson: "Leonardo, Tom Hanks, and Anne Hathaway, should you all know?"

"Of course," Steve Johnsonsaid with a laugh said: "The three of them are very famous in Hollywood, and they are all actors I like very much."

Spielberg introduced hastily to the other three: "Steve Johnson, CEO of Sequoia Capital."

Since Spielberg was introducing himself, Steve · Johnson shook hands with the three people one after another. The people of Hollywood background knew politicians and capitalists very well, so Steve · Johnson had heard of them.

Unlike the professional manager CEOs of most companies, Steve · Johnson is also one of the shareholders of Sequoia Capital. In addition, he also owns a number of outstanding private equity funds and is very prestigious in the capital market. A person like him, simply looking at his own value, may be a few tenths of Li Mu's, but the key is that he has strong resources in the capital market, as long as he speaks, a lot of hot money will actively gather to him, anytime, anywhere No one dares to despise the cash gathered to hundreds of millions or even billions of USD.

Several people said hello to Steve · Johnson, Steve · Johnson responded very politely, and then focused his attention on Anne Hathaway.

"Miss Anne, can I talk to you in private?"

Anne Hathaway is unclear why Steve Johnson first met, so she wanted to talk to herself in private, but she nodded gently because of politeness.

Steve · Johnson apologized to the other three, then walked with Anne Hathaway to the corner of no one, then Steve · Johnson asked her, "Miss Anne, I don't know if you have Not interested in going to a private party in London? "

"Party?" Anne Hathaway was surprised by looks atSteve · Johnson, so she didn't know her face.

Steve · Johnson explained: "This party is an old castle Black-Tie held every three years by members of the British royal family and some famous British noblemen. In addition to the royal nobles from all over the world, there are some Well-known big family and entrepreneurs, this party is usually about five days, we will be responsible for arranging all the food, clothing, housing and transportation. "

Black-Tie literally translates as a black tie, but in high society, this represents a party specification. Generally, Black-Tie is to be attended by both men and women in dress, in high society, except for public occasions In addition, this party is one of the highest specifications.

The Black-Tie held by the British royal family and nobles, Anne Hathaway was slightly heard at the time of Hollywood. It is said that this kind of party is the world ’s top gathering of the upper class, and it has never been heard. Which Hollywood movie stars have been invited to participate.

After all, the European royal nobility itself is somewhat incompatible with the native American culture. The former has looked down on the latter for centuries, and Steve Johnson suddenly invited himself, which really made her feel incredible.

However, Steve Johnson himself is an Englishman. He was born in an old and powerful aristocratic family in Britain. This world's top Black-Tie has been participating since adulthood. He has n’t fallen yet. Like him, he also has There is enough qualification to invite his friends to the party, so if he invites Anne Hathaway, then Anne Hathaway will have the opportunity to attend the party.

Steve · Johnson was very surprised when he saw Anne Hathaway, and he explained: "Miss Anne, I do n’t hide from you. The reason why I want to invite you is because I am also preparing to invite Li Mu, and I think if you If they are present, Li Mu will be more likely to accept the invitation first-year university student. "

Anne Hathaway realized that Steve Johnson was not a wine because he was a drunkard.

However, instead of feeling disappointed, she felt a joy in her heart. The meaning of Steve Johnson's words seemed to be that he felt that Li Mu would accept the invitation because of himself. He said so, is there any basis for not knowing it?

Steve · Johnson saw Anne Hathaway did n’t speak for a while, but his face was red, and he felt even better. He hit the railroad while hot: "Miss Anne, you do n’t have to be too embarrassed. I have a meeting with Li Mu tonight If you want, I can tell him the news that you will be there. If he still refuses, it does n’t matter if you do n’t want to go. I can understand it, and I will keep it 100% confidential. "

Anne Hathaway hesitated for a moment, nodded shamelessly, and said, "Mr. Johnson, if Li Mu agrees, I will have no problem ..."

......

Li Mu did n’t pay attention to Steve Johnson. He was holding a glass at the moment and found Mark Zuckerberg who was alone in the corner.

In this reception, apart from Li Mu, the youngest is Mark Zuckerberg, and his character is not as extroverted as Li Mu, so it seems a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

Other people are chatting in groups of three or five. Mark Zuckerberg is holding a glass of soda-free non-alcoholic beverage. He stands alone in a corner, doing nothing and smiling with honey juice and embarrassing smiles. .

For Mark Zuckerberg, he is like a child who breaks into an adult club, and his at a loss is his most obvious experience.

When Li Mu chatted with Spielberg, he saw the dilemma of Mark Zuckerberg in the distance. After chatting with several people for a while, he found an excuse to temporarily say goodbye. A glass of whiskey came to Mark Zuckerberg.

When Mark Zuckerberg was bored, Li Mu suddenly appeared in his sight and asked him with a smile: "Hey Mark, what are you doing standing alone?"

See it is Li Mu, Mark Zuckerberg hastily scratched his head, some shy said with a laugh: "I did n’t do anything, just dazed."

Li Mu asked him: "Why not go chat with other people?"

Mark Zuckerberg laughed at himself and said, "I feel like I shouldn't be able to chat with them."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Can we chat together, we need to chat before we know."

Finally, Li Mu said again: "Many people who came here today are very famous in Silicon Valley, and there are big names in the venture capital industry. If you are familiar with them, maybe in many places in the future. Can get more help. "

Mark Zuckerberg nodded softly and said, "Then I will try to chat with them later."

Li Mu asked: "It is better not to drink non-alcoholic beverages when chatting with others on this occasion. It is more sincere to serve a glass of wine, and it can also shorten the actual age gap."

Mark · Zuckerberg hastily said: "Then I will ask for a glass of wine later."

Li Mu waved his hand, called a waiter directly, and said to him: "Bring this gentleman a whiskey."

"Okay Chief Li." The waiter quickly walked over with a glass of whiskey containing about a quarter of Whiskey and handed it to Mark Zuckerberg.

Li Mu picked up the glass and touched the glass in the hands of Mark Zuckerberg. Then he took a sip and asked him, "How is Facebook doing recently?"

Mark · Zuckerberg hastily After taking a sip of whiskey, he choked for a long time and coughed for a long time. He coughed until his face was flushed until he got a little better. Li Mu Say: "Facebook has developed rapidly recently, according to Chief Li As your reminder, we have deliberately strengthened and emphasized the function of finding people on Facebook. This function has been greatly recognized by users. Now our registered users have exceeded 5 million, and the daily life exceeds 600 thousand. At Harvard, it was five times. "

Li Mu said with a smile: "It seems that you have found a way to spread the virus, and make persistent efforts. I think you can have at least 2-3 million daily users before the end of the year."

Mark Zuckerberg said: "Fast promotion, the consumption of funds is also very large. I am still exploring ways to monetize. If there is no good monetization channel, the speed of development must be reasonable. "

Li Mu asked him: "How much has been spent?"

Mark Zuckerberg said: "You and your fund invested a total of 6.02 million. So far, 3.3 million has been spent, and 2.7 million USD is left."

Li Mu asked again: "How many employees are there at this stage?"

"Thirty-three." Mark Zuckerberg said: "Most of these people are promoters and technical teams."

Li Mu nodded and said: "If it is worrying about money, I feel completely unnecessary, I can add another round of investment, as Facebook's Pre-A round of financing."

Mark Zuckerberg said: "If you have been burning money, I always feel that my heart is a bit bottomless, because the larger the number of users, the higher the cost of the enterprise. If the realization cannot keep up, it will be easy to fall into funds The situation where the chain breaks. "

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "The current internet social network is just like before the outbreak of real estate. Not only the business has been growing very fast, but the capital recognition is also rapidly increasing. All you have to do now is to take it at all costs Qian Jin is used to exchange for real estate, even if the money in your hands is used up, even if the debt is heavy, it does not matter, because once the real estate skyrockets, you can immediately get a huge profit. "

Mark Zuckerberg hesitated a little and nodded, saying: "Chief Li, you give Facebook a valuation, and then increase the capital according to the valuation, I do n’t take cash, I dilute the shares instead of investing. "

Li Mu waved its hand and said, "In this round, I directly added five million USD investments. You do n’t need to dilute your shares, and you do n’t need to make any changes to the share structure. After you get the money, you just open it up. Monetization, don't care too much for now. "

Mark Zuckerberg was busy: "Chief Li, this is really too unfair to you. Since you make additional investment, then it is natural for me to dilute the shares ..."

Li Mu smiled and patted his shoulder lightly, saying: "Let's talk less, the company is my holding company, so listen to me on such issues."

After finishing, Li Mu said again: "Go, I will take you to see Larry Page, you two know, in the future, Facebook can directly derive precise guidance from the Google search engine. If you have any needs, just follow He mentioned. "
