San Francisco Chinatown, Royal Food Garden Sichuan Restaurant.
Lu Fei and Ivanka wore masks and came to the appointed box in a low-key manner. There were faint scars on their necks from last night's battle, and they were stained with red. The "Silicon Valley Iron Man" reluctantly defeated the Black Widow and Scarlet who joined forces to fight against each other.
Witch.
When he pushed the door open, he saw Zuckerberg and his wife getting up.
"Nihu, Lu."
Speaking in broken Chinese, he introduced his wife, Priscilla Chen, emphasizing that she is Chinese-American.
"Hey, Chen."
Facing her enthusiasm, Lu Fei shook hands cordially.
Ivan Kapi was smiling but took advantage of the gap between them to sit down and whispered in his ear, "Chen is not Chinese, he is Vietnamese. Technically speaking, he is Asian. They are so deliberate and careful..."
"hehe."
Lu Fei gently patted the back of her hand and pretended to be confused, "Mark, your wife speaks Chinese very well, surpassing other Chinese-Americans I have met."
"Haha, she has always liked Chinese culture, which has also influenced me. I am planning to learn Chinese recently and hired a private tutor." Zuckerberg raised a bright smile.
"It's good to learn Chinese."
Lu Fei opened the menu and discussed with them and ordered a table of spicy crab, boiled fish, white meat with garlic paste, and spicy chicken.
"I also want to go to China. In addition to walking around and appreciating the exotic scenery, I also want to bring Facebook to China for development and integrate Chinese netizens into the world social platform created by Facebook. Lu, what do you think of this plan?
Sample?"
Zuckerberg pulls the tab off a Coke can.
"That's right."
Lu Fei nodded, "If Facebook wants to continue to expand the total number of users, it must capture the Asian market, and to capture the Asian market, it must first capture the Chinese market."
Zuckerberg smiled on the outside, but felt miserable in his heart.
After all, China is the last big market that Line has not touched. It started from Bangzi, and with the help of logic, Samsung, Penguin and other giants, it has swept across Southeast Asia and spread across Eastern and Western Europe. Compared with Facebook's market share, it is 73%, 64%.
Open, open 50-50...
Only in the domestic market of the United States is Facebook dominant.
"I want to remind you, if you want to set the Chinese market as Facebook's next target, the key is to understand and respect China." Lu Fei said seriously, "Google, Yahoo, eBay, and so many American Internet giants just don't have it.
If you do this and do not sincerely serve the Chinese market, you will not be able to succeed in China."
"Lu, you are right. I will seriously learn from their lessons. Regarding Facebook's entry into the Chinese market, I may have to ask you for help more often in the future."
Zuckerberg raised his Coke.
Bang, the cans collided.
"I will help if I can."
There was a smile on Lu Fei's lips.
"Where's the Line?"
Priscilla Chen mentioned it abruptly.
"List!"
Zuckerberg had a straight face and accused her of being too talkative. Then he apologized and said, "Haha, don't get me wrong, Lu."
Lu Fei watched quietly as the couple sang the double act.
"This is also my fault. While sleeping, Chen occasionally heard complaints about Line from my mouth, so that's why he said this."
Zuckerberg smiled pitifully and bitterly: "After all, Lu, you are Facebook's largest individual shareholder besides me, and your Penguin is Facebook's biggest rival, Line's largest shareholder."
"I understand, I completely understand, that Facebook did not get any benefits from Line in the Southeast Asian and European markets."
Lu Fei crossed his hands and closed his fists.
"Yes, although the logic supports Facebook, it also supports Line. However, mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung, Google, and HTC only support Line, and they are at a disadvantage in the mobile phone hardware channel, which has caused us to suffer a big loss in the European and Asian market promotion.
"
Zuckerberg’s eyes were filled with resentment, and he deliberately didn’t mention penguins.
"I know Facebook has difficulties, but I can't be biased. I am not only a shareholder of Facebook, but also a shareholder of Line. I am also a major shareholder of Twitter, and even your biggest rival in China in the future, New Wolf Weibo."
Lu Fei turned over his hands, "My left and right hands are both hands, and the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, so I must be fair. I will not interfere in the management of one party just because it is beneficial to one of them, nor will I treat one party just because it is beneficial to the other."
It’s not good for the other side.”
"..."
Zuckerberg's smile froze, and his wishful thinking failed.
When Facebook enters China, it seems Lu Fei won’t be of much help.
Suddenly, the harmonious and harmonious atmosphere became solemn and dull in the deathly silence, falling from the hotbed into the ice cellar.
At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.
Ivanka gave him a good tip and sent him away. Lu Fei's voice suddenly came to her ears, "Give me the agreement."
"I know that Facebook has been badmouthed by the media and Wall Street, and I will stand by you. I also know that small shareholders within Facebook have jointly proposed a recall proposal, and I will still stand by you. This is my
manner."
Lu Fei winked, and Ivanka handed over the contract.
"Lu, this is also the management's suggestion."
Zuckerberg showed a rare look of embarrassment when he saw the voting agreement he distributed to shareholders.
In order to ensure that Facebook is still in his hands after the listing, he not only added C shares to the AB shareholding structure, that is, the shares issued this time only have economic rights such as dividends and do not enjoy any voting rights.
What's more, this voting agreement was created.
Let the majority shareholders agree to vote on behalf of their shares. If all goes well, they will only hold 24% of the shares, but they will have 9% of the say. And Lu Fei——
This second shareholder is the key among the keys!
"Understand, understand."
Lu Feiyang raised his hand, "Take a look."
Zuckerberg suppressed his excitement and opened the agreement, only to see the name "Ivanka" added to the signature column.
"This this……"
He looked at Lu Fei in shock and then at Ivanka.
"Look at you, you're in a hurry."
Lu Fei glanced at her and said, "Let me introduce you. From now on, I will authorize her to be the director of Facebook's board of directors on a long-term basis."
Zuckerberg immediately understood and toasted Ivanka.
"Mark, Lu has great confidence in your abilities and performance, and believes that you can lead Facebook to become better and better."
Ivanka drank the juice with a smile.
"Lu, I won't say more. You are the shareholder who owns the most B shares besides me, and you are also the shareholder who owns the most shares besides me. I guarantee that Facebook is still willing to provide what you can within the scope of its authority.
any help.”
Zuckerberg stared at them meaningfully.
"cheers."
Lu Fei and Ivanka looked at each other and raised the corners of their mouths.
"cheers!"
Their eyes met and everyone clinked glasses.
As if the cold scene just now had never happened, we were eating, drinking, chatting, and gathered around Facebook.
The dishes are in a mess and the banquet is over.
Separating from Zuckerberg, Lu Fei took Ivanka's hand and got into the car. His fake smile instantly fell down and became gloomy.
"I can't believe you handed over your Facebook voting rights so easily," Ivanka said in disbelief.
"If I don't give it, he will fight for it. Why end up fighting to the bitter end? It's too ugly. It's better to make a deal and get you the greatest authority on Facebook." Lu Fei raised his lips, "Look, although
I didn’t become the chairman of the board, but didn’t I get the position of vice chairman of Facebook?”
"It's just a part-time job. It's too easy to sideline me. Besides, his voting rights exceed 50%. The board of directors is his decision-making body. Whether to remove him or not is not a matter of his words."
