Chapter 452: Lin Feng becomes a major shareholder of Facebook

When Mark heard Lin Feng say he wanted to invest 3 billion US dollars, he was shocked. He did not expect that this young man from China would have such courage to spend so much money to invest in Facebook.

Mark had long heard of Lin Feng’s deeds and knew that he had never failed in the investment world. It was precisely because of Lin Feng’s big efforts that Mark’s heart was a little shaken.

Although Mark knew when he founded Facebook, the website would have a great future, and the truth is the case.

Facebook has only been in its establishment for four years, and its current users have exceeded 100 million, covering dozens of countries around the world. According to the valuation of Morgan Investment Bank not long ago, Facebook has gone from nothing to a technology company with a valuation of $10 billion in four years.

That's true, Mark did not easily agree to Lin Feng's conditions for investing $3 billion. After all, after the previous rounds of financing, if he gave Lin Feng 30% of his shares at a valuation of $10 billion this time, then Mark's shares are no longer the largest shareholder.

"Mr. Lin, you're too big." Mark showed a reluctant smile on his face, looked at Lin Feng, and continued, "But our Facebook company doesn't need such a large amount of funds at present, why don't you invest billions?"

Mark saw that Lin Feng had no expression on his face after listening to his words, so he quickly explained.

"Last month, Morgan Investment Bank came to me and valued Facebook with a valuation of $10 billion. If Mr. Lin is willing to invest a billion US dollars, then I can promise to give you 12% of the shares. Do you think it's okay?"

Mark's words surprised Zou Ming, who was sitting next to him. He did not expect that Mark was so courageous and gave two percent of his shares to others.

Indeed, if we look at the valuation of Morgan Investment Bank of 10 billion US dollars, Lin Feng can only exchange 1 billion US dollars for 10% of shares, and Mark gives 12%, so the excess 2% of shares is worth 200 million US dollars. It can be said that Mark is full of sincerity.

Zou Ming did not speak, but turned to Lin Feng next to him. Although the funds invested in Facebook will be given from the trust fund managed by Zou Ming, Zou Ming knew that Lin Feng still needed to agree to the decision.

Lin Feng looked up at Mark's eyes, and Lin Feng read Mark's concern from his blue pupils.

"Mr. Mark is afraid that he will lose control of Facebook." Lin Feng picked up the coffee and took a sip, then asked Mark in a plain tone.

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Mark did not deny it. After all, foreigners do not have that deep scheming and they say everything they think directly.

"You also founded Mr. Lin's Starry Sky Group. I believe Mr. Lin should have the same idea as me."

After Mark finished speaking, he stared at Lin Feng with his beautiful blue eyes. He knew that Lin Feng also started from scratch, so he should be able to understand his feelings.

"I think Mr. Mark misunderstood. I never thought about interfering in the development of Facebook, so I just invested in Facebook to enjoy the capital dividends brought by the value growth of this company, and would not participate in the company's management."

"You either take me three billion dollars or I won't invest."

When Zou Ming heard Lin Feng's words, he immediately said to his boss in his heart that no one else wants so much money, but the boss even has to force the other party to make so much money.

Lin Feng also knew that Mark was worried about losing control of Facebook, but Mark's concern was unnecessary.

The reason why Lin Feng is optimistic about Facebook is that he thinks that Facebook, under Mark's management, can increase its valuation ten times in ten years and become a technology company worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

If Facebook was not under Mark's management, Lin Feng would be a little afraid that the company would be so valuable in the future.

"Mr. Mark, don't worry, I only enjoy the right to dividends and do not make decisions, and I will also hand over this right to vote to you."

When Mark was really surprised when he heard Lin Feng's words.

When Lin Feng said he wanted to invest 3 billion US dollars, Mark already felt that Lin Feng was very optimistic about Facebook. Now Lin Feng said that as long as he shares, he did not make decisions. This means that he should be more optimistic about Facebook's future in order to invest 3 billion US dollars and ignore the company's development.

"What Mr. Lin said is true?"

If Lin Feng said everything is true, then Mark is really a little moved.

After all, Mark knew that with the launch of various businesses behind Facebook, there was also a lot of funds needed, so financing was imminent.

Anyway, Facebook companies need financing, so who can take money? If they give it to Lin Feng, they may use Lin Feng’s resources to enter the world’s largest market. For Facebook companies, this is simply a cake that fell from the sky. Not only can they get the other party’s money, but they can also use the other party’s resources, and they also ignore the other party to interfere in the company’s management.

Seeing Mark's expression, Lin Feng also laughed, and then gave Zou Ming next to him a look.

When Zou Ming saw Lin Feng's eyes, he took out an agreement that had been written before and placed in front of Mark.

Mark looked up at Lin Feng in confusion. When he saw the other party signaling him to read the documents first, he forced himself to hold back the doubts in his heart and looked at the document placed in front of him.

Mark became more and more surprised as he looked at it. When he saw it at the end, his eyes were filled with a look of surprise.

"Mr. Lin, your conditions are really..."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Mark, I don't have the right to manage it. Do I have some conditions in other aspects?"

Mark looked at the young man sitting opposite him who was several years younger than him, and he felt a little depressed. He used to think that he was the most awesome among young people, but compared with Lin Feng, he couldn't help but feel a decadent feeling in his heart.

Mark sighed, "I can agree to Mr. Lin's conditions, but I need to add one at the end. If Mr. Lin needs to sell shares to cash out, I have the first priority right."

Lin Feng smiled and replied: "Of course this is OK, as long as the price you give is reasonable."

So after Lin Feng and Mark reached a preliminary opinion, the rest was left to Zou Ming.

After talking about the matter, Mark got up and left. After all, he still needs to go back and meet with other shareholders to explain the situation.

After Mark left, Zou Ming turned around and looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

"Boss, why do we invest so much money in this company but don't have the right to manage it?"

"Once the management of this company is incompetent, we may lose all our money."

Hearing Zou Ming's words, Lin Feng smiled, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"What do you think of the future of this Facebook company?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zou Ming sorted out his thoughts in his mind and said slowly: "The main business of this company is very similar to our Starry Sky Weibo. According to the development trend of our Starry Sky Weibo, I believe that the future prospects of this company should be good too."

"But the reason why our Starry Sky Weibo is so successful is because the boss is in charge, but this Facebook company does not have the talent like the boss."

Lin Feng did not expose Zou Ming's flattery either.

"What do you think of Mark?"

Zou Ming didn't understand why Lin Feng suddenly shifted the topic to Mark.

"Through my investigation of this company, it seems that Mark is the founder and CEO of this company. He has two founders, but they are all technical and have average management skills, so Mark is all pulled by this company alone."

"And by just now, he gave us two percent of the shares without blinking, we can see that this person is extraordinary, at least not a person with narrow vision."

Lin Feng looked at Zou Ming in surprise, not expecting that he had such a unique insight. From this, we can also see that Zou Ming is no longer the junior college student who could not find a job in the talent market two years ago.

Zou Ming also noticed Lin Feng's look at him, and immediately asked with a little nervousness: "Boss, did I say something wrong just now?"

Lin Feng smiled and reached out to pat Zou Ming's shoulder gently.

"You said nothing wrong, I'm just surprised how fast you're growing."

Zou Ming was confused by Lin Feng's stupid words.

"Don't worry, you have been with me for so long, have you seen any investment failed?"

"I must have my reason for my own investment in this company."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he picked up the coffee and took the last sip, and stood up and left.

At this time, Zou Ming did not follow Lin Feng away. After all, he had other things to do. Zou Ming, who was sitting on the chair, kept savoring what Lin Feng said in his mind.

Lin Feng quickly got into the car that Zhao Tiezhu drove, turned around and saw Zou Ming, who was still sitting in the cafe, with a slightly smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Feng did not explain to Zou Ming why he was so optimistic about this Facebook company in M ​​Country. Could it be that when the company went public in a few years, it would be too cheap to have a valuation of only 10 billion US dollars?

Could it be that in ten years, the company's market value can be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Now you only need to buy at a low price, and then wait quietly for ten years to sell the stocks at a high price?

Lin Feng would not be so stupid to tell others about this. After all, rebirth is his biggest secret, and this secret must not be known by the second person.

Although even if Lin Feng said that he was reborn, others would only think that he was a lunatic, if someone really believed him, would he be arrested and dissected?

"Boss, where are we going now?"

After seeing Lin Feng get in the car, Zhao Tiezhu said nothing, so he looked at Lin Feng through the rearview mirror and asked about his next plan.

Hearing Zhao Tiezhu's words, Lin Feng came to his senses and looked at him. When he was about to go back, he suddenly found through the rearview mirror that there was a car behind him as if it was always following him.

"Tiezhu, speed up and see if the Mercedes-Benz behind is following us all the time?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhao Tiezhu turned his head and looked at the rearview mirror and said lightly: "Boss, don't try it anymore. I have noticed that car a long time ago. I have been following us since you left the cafe."

Hearing Zhao Tiezhu's words, Lin Feng immediately thought in his mind about who sent the car. Judging from this, the car was obviously monitoring him.

"Call Chen Dajun and let him deal with it."

Although Lin Feng didn't know who sent someone to monitor him, he knew that the other party must be his enemy. After all, Lin Feng did not think that the government of M country sent police to secretly protect him and found a rich man in China.
