My Age of Investment

Xia Jingxing and Yang Niu kept silent, and Murdoch didn't bother to urge them, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

Perhaps in the eyes of the old man, these are already two fish on the chopping board, and they cannot escape his predation at all.

"It's getting late, Mr. Murdoch, let's stop here today!"

Seeing that there was basically no room for maneuver, Xia Jingxing didn't want to stay here any longer, because from now on, time would become very precious to them.

Murdoch nodded, got up together with Deng Wendi, and sent Xia Jingxing and the two to the gate of the villa.

It was completely dark outside, but the street lamps still illuminated the small area at the door like daytime.

Zhang Chenguang opened the car door and stood beside the car like a straight green pine.

Xia Jingxing and Yang Niu were about to get in the car, and Murdoch reminded again: "Daren, Christina, go back and think about my suggestion, because no one can offer better conditions than me at this stage. "

The incandescent light shone on Murdoch's face, which turned white, and his originally kind smile looked a little gloomy, like "Dracula" in the movie.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Murdoch for the banquet, I will definitely remember it."

Xia Jingxing stood in front of the car door, looking straight at the Murdochs, the old man kept smiling, while Wendi Deng waved to them like a silly elder sister.

Xia Jingxing and Yang Niu got into the car and sat down, Zhang Chenguang trotted into the driver's seat, drove the car, and left quickly.

It wasn't until the tail lights disappeared that Murdoch looked at the people around him, "Honey, is your trick of "before the soldiers" really useful?"

Wendi Deng helped the old man straighten his collar, tilted his head and said, "You're still a little anxious, you shouldn't be so explicit at the dinner table."

"You don't understand this!"

Murdoch smiled triumphantly, "Daren is kind on the outside, but deep down he is an extremely rebellious person, neither Yahoo nor Google has overwhelmed him.

If I don't make it clear and put pressure on him, he won't realize what kind of predicament he is in. "

"Well, whatever you do, I'll support you!"

As she said that, Deng Wendi looked at the old man with admiration, and offered a kiss, which made the old man laugh.

in the car.

As soon as Xia Jingxing got into the car, his face was dark, and the foreign girl also had the same expression. Neither of them spoke, and there was a dead silence in the car.

Zhang Chenguang glanced at the two of them through the rearview mirror, and felt a little abnormal. Usually, they were laughing and laughing.

He had just been taken to the side hall for dinner, and he didn't know what happened at the dinner table that caused the two of them to be so unhappy.

"Daren, don't be angry. At worst, we will respond to the lawsuit. Youtube is different from the Napster that Sean and the others used to do. You may not lose the lawsuit."

Despite the resentment in her heart, the foreign girl couldn't help but come to comfort her boyfriend first when she saw her boyfriend looking listless.

Xia Jingxing shook his head, "Let's put the lawsuit aside for now. Murdoch chose to attack us at a critical period of financing, and his idea is to make our financing fail."

Hearing this, Yang Niu's expression also became serious, "Can you finalize the investment before they officially attack?"

"I can only try to see!"

After speaking, the car fell silent again.

Yang Niu and Xia Jingxing each looked out of one side of the window, each having their own concerns.

…………

…………

the next day.

Inside Facebook, shareholders are coming together again.

Xia Jingxing briefly described the terms Murdoch offered last night.

"Fuck, this son of a bitch is trying to annex Facebook completely!"

Andrew first uttered a Chinese curse, followed by an American catchphrase, his anger was beyond words.

The fat man just returned to the United States two days ago, and he has already laid the foundation for a business incubator in China. Next, he wants to replicate it in the United States to completely establish the name of the Envision business incubator.

In contrast to Andrew, who was yelling, it was the other shareholders,

All remained silent.

After a while.

Principal John, who is also an angel investor in Facebook with Andrew, pondered: "From this point of view, Murdoch is determined to get involved in Facebook. If he can't get involved, he will destroy Facebook."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, Facebook and News Corp. are born enemies. Not to mention the factor of MySpace, just talk about the speed and breadth of dissemination of text, pictures, and videos on Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter. News Corp. is a traditional media. , itself a threat.

Yesterday, Murdoch emphasized to me more than one sentence: Facebook is subverting traditional media.

In the long run, the decline of newspapers, radio, and even television and film is inevitable.

If you can sit on a computer or even hold a mobile phone to read information and perform various entertainments, who is willing to spend so much time buying newspapers and movie tickets. "

Principal John nodded, "Daren, I agree with your point of view. I don't know Murdoch very well, but I know that he has a unique vision and likes mergers and acquisitions very much. It can be said that the media empire of News Corporation was established by his mergers and acquisitions.

He's after you now, do you have any good solutions? "

Yang Niu was a little displeased, and retorted: "Mr. Hennessy, it's not "Daerun" that's being targeted, but all of us.

Although Murdoch only asks for a 30% stake, once he takes over, can Facebook maintain its previous development momentum?

As a media tycoon, he is really good at the operation of traditional industries, but does he understand the Internet?

There are cases of investment losses of one billion US dollars during the dot-com bubble, and the recent acquisition of MySpace. "

Speaking of this, Yangniu paused, and turned her gaze to the shareholders present, "Gentlemen, you can go and find out what Juyou.com is like now. Murdoch airborne executives and pointed fingers at the business. The core team is losing…”

Yang Niu spread her hands, "If you want to see Facebook become like that, you can welcome Murdoch in."

Principal John quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, Christina, don't react so violently, I don't have a problem with Darren.

I just want to emphasize that Murdoch is not easy to deal with, we need to plan ahead. "

"Mr. Hennessy is right!"

Larson, Gates' financial steward, spoke, and he glanced at everyone with a serious expression, "This time, it's not just News Corp. who launched an attack on Facebook, but the Big Six of Hollywood.

This is a force that no one can ignore. Whoever underestimates them will suffer greatly. "

Breyer tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at Xia Jingxing several times, but did not speak.

The founder and CEO of DST, Yuri Milner, thought for a moment, looked at Xia Jingxing and said, "Dai Lun, DST invested in you as a talent. No matter in the future or now, DST will unswervingly support you." .”

What the Russian bald man said was very beautiful, Xia Jingxing looked at the other party, his eyes met, the latter nodded slightly at him, showing a kind smile.

Xia Jingxing also smiled back at the other party.

In fact, he can vaguely guess what the other party is thinking. DST is a Facebook with a high price of shares. It has not made any money yet, so he dare not put Murdoch in. If Facebook is abolished, DST, a start-up fund, will also be abolished. Well, the LPs behind DST, that is, the oligarchs, can't spare Milner.

Larson eased his tone, "Daren, we also support you, but you have to come up with a plan that convinces us. The market is changing rapidly, and Facebook, which is growing rapidly, cannot withstand too much trouble."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "I've already thought up the specific plan, everyone might as well listen to it first."
