I chatted with Jan all morning, and in the afternoon Jiang Junxiang checked the preparations for the launch of cuckootalk.

The official version of cuckootalk is ready. Currently it only supports text, voice, picture messages and Internet calls. It can run cross-platform between Android, Symbian, iPhoneOS and other smart phone systems. These functions have been tested and have been running for a long time.

Stable.

cuckootalk manages friends based on actual phone numbers, so if friends in the mobile address book also use cuckootalk, these people will automatically appear in the contact column of cuckootalk.

Although the code for the online video calling function envisioned by Jiang Junxiang has been completed and tested among internal staff, because the current 3G network speed has not yet achieved sufficient data transmission speed, the lagging phenomenon is serious, and it can only be used under WiFi conditions.

Smooth operation greatly affects the user experience, so the launch of this feature has been temporarily postponed.

cuckootalk also implements functions that traditional mobile phones cannot achieve, such as the other party's real-time online status, information reading status, and other party's input status. These functions allow users to check the other party's status in real time. If it shows that the other party is not online reading or replying to your message,

No need to waste time waiting.

Moreover, the interface is very simple, adhering to the American Puritan minimalist style, with no additional content such as advertisements, and is completely in line with the concepts in Jiang Junxiang's product plan.

In addition to the above-mentioned functions, Jan also developed some other functions proposed in the plan in accordance with Jiang Junxiang's requirements as a technical reserve in case imitators or competitors appear, so that they can be updated in time to attack opponents.

The product development situation is completely in line with Jiang Junxiang's expectations, which shows the dedication of Jan and the R&D team for more than half a year. The rest is publicity and promotion work, which is also the focus after the product is launched.

In fact, the publicity and promotion work has already begun. Although no promotional advertisements have been released yet, according to Jiang Junxiang's plan, he is constantly looking for people to write soft articles on various online platforms and forums to analyze the backwardness of traditional mobile phone communication functions and high charges, or to pretend

For ordinary netizens to complain and vent their dissatisfaction with traditional communication methods.

These methods are not yet well-known and understood by the public, and current netizens are still relatively susceptible to the influence of speech on the Internet.

Driven by those with ulterior motives, more and more people began to think about the inconveniences of traditional communication methods, and many people even volunteered to express their dissatisfaction.

These methods are not clever and were not pioneered by Jiang Junxiang. In fact, they used CIA methods of inciting and building momentum to promote products.

Everything was being executed according to plan, so there was no need for Jiang Junxiang, the boss, to stay here all day. After arranging some things for Jan, Jiang Junxiang said goodbye and left. He had more urgent things to do.

For example, find ways to make more money and spend more money.

…

The next day, Jiang Junxiang did not go to the company. Instead, he made an appointment with Facebook's Zuckerberg and went to a coffee shop to discuss financing.

It's not iu technology financing, it's Facebook financing, and Jiang Junxiang is an investor.

This matter was arranged for him by his father, Andrew, and was approved by Cia.

It is said that due to rapid expansion this year, Facebook has exhausted all the money raised in the C round and is currently seeking D round financing.

But in February this year, Facebook did a stupid thing at the beginning of the year. They modified the terms of service and forced users to stipulate that even if they cancel their accounts, their information and data will still be saved in Facebook's servers.

This caused great dissatisfaction among users, and public opinion circles criticized Facebook. Now Wall Street is still waiting to see how the situation will progress, and no one dares to end at this time.

At this time, a Russian investment company, DST, took the initiative to find Facebook, hoping to invest. This attracted the attention of CIA, and Andrew proposed to CIA that Jiang Junxiang, who had already entered the Internet industry, intervene in the matter to prevent DST from entering Facebook.

The cia felt that this was conducive to the implementation of Jiang Junxiang's plan, so he agreed. Moreover, this was just a normal investment behavior and did not violate the principles.

After Jiang Junxiang received the arrangement from his father, he went to learn about the current situation of Facebook. He was a little helpless. He was also worried about the current situation of Facebook. Although he relied on the relationship of CIA to make more than 600 million US dollars by shorting Fannie Mae last year,

This money can't be wasted.

Last year, he invested in several companies and spent 200 million US dollars. Although he spent nearly 5 million to create iu, which is not much, cuckootalk will be launched soon, and he still needs to continue to invest. He has 400 million left.

He had already made a plan, but now he had to invest in Facebook, whose situation was unclear, which caught him a little unprepared.

While Jiang Junxiang was still thinking about this in the cafe, two people came in from the door. One was a young man wearing a hoodie and jeans with disheveled hair, and the other was a 30-year-old man who looked like he was still hungover, wearing a pleated suit and a full beard.

people.

Compared with the casual dress of these two people, Jiang Junxiang, who is wearing a suit and leather shoes although he is not wearing a tie, looks more like a senior executive of a company.

The young man in a hoodie walked straight to Jiang Junxiang's seat and looked at Jiang Junxiang with some confusion.

"Hello! Are you Mr. Goldberger?"

There was almost no one in the coffee shop at 10 a.m., and Jiang Junxiang was the only one sitting here, so Zuckerberg had no choice but to come and ask.

"Hello! Mr. Zuckerberg, Mr. Parker, nice to meet you! I'm Alex Goldberger, you can just call me Alex."

Jiang Junxiang also stood up to greet the two people in front of him. Zuckerberg came not alone, but also Sean Parker, the former CEO of Facebook.

"Alex, I know you, you are a singer, right, and the new boyfriend of Emma Watson, the heroine of "Harry Potter"!"

Compared to Zuckerberg, a technology nerd, Sean Parker has an out-of-the-box personality and a wider range of interests, so he immediately recognized Kang Kyun-sang’s identity as a singer.

"Mr. Parker seems to be very concerned about the entertainment industry, and he actually recognized me."

"Of course, I was sued by record companies for setting up the free music website Napster, so I still know something about the entertainment industry! Your song "viva" is great!"

"I know that. Napster pioneered free music! As you said yourself, Mr. Parker, it was a feat that changed the world!"

Jiang Junxiang smiled and complimented the former CEO who left Facebook because of drug abuse. The fact that he appeared here showed that his relationship with Zuckerberg was by no means broken as the outside world thought.

Parker once encouraged Zuckerberg to wear pajamas and slippers to meet Goldman Sachs investors, and he humiliated Goldman Sachs by refusing. With such a criminal record, Jiang Junxiang did not want to offend Parker.

"Alex, are you also of Jewish origin? When I first heard your last name, I thought you were Jewish. But your face looks more like an Asian."

Zuckerberg happened to intervene at this time. He didn't care about Jiang Junxiang's identity or the gossip about his Emma, ​​but asked about Jiang Junxiang's surname.

"Yes, my father is Jewish, but my mother is Korean, so I look a bit Asian."

"So that's it!"

When Zuckerberg heard Jiang Junxiang's explanation, his originally puzzled face brightened with a smile. When he first walked in and saw Jiang Junxiang, he was a little disappointed when he saw that he was an Asian.

You must know that part of the reason why he agreed to meet Jiang Junxiang was because he saw his Jewish surname. Now that Jiang Junxiang said this, he recognized his identity.

Jewish fraternities in the United States will constantly instill in them the concept of Jewish unity, so Jiang Junxiang's Jewish identity can gain him more impression points.

"Let's talk about financing. Does Alex need us to introduce Facebook to you?"

Sean was obviously not interested in their questions about Jewish identity, so he ended the pleasantries and went directly to today's topic.

"No need, I visited Facebook last year, and I also learned about the information in detail before coming here."

"Have you ever visited Facebook? Great, then we can save a lot of time. Alex, can you talk about your current valuation of Facebook? You should know that in 2007, when Microsoft led the investment in Facebook, the valuation was 150

100 million US dollars, I hope your offer will not disappoint us!"

Sean Parker may see Jiang Junxiang as young and think that he is the kind of rich second generation who takes family money and seeks to prove himself. He has a very strong attitude.

"As I said just now, I got a lot of information before I came here. Your previous C-round financing valuation doesn't mean anything. I understand your current situation. You modified the terms of service without authorization at the beginning of the year, and the negative impact has not been eliminated yet.

I don’t think Facebook is still worth 15 billion. And now the entire investment community is looking down on Facebook, otherwise you wouldn’t have financing negotiations with DST from Russia, right? Even if you negotiate successfully with DST, are you sure the U.S. government

Are you going to sit back and watch a Russian investment company enter an Internet company that has a large amount of user private data?"

Jiang Junxiang ignored Parker's contempt. His information was far more detailed than what he said. He even knew the quotation of Russian DST.

"The temporary negative news cannot affect the real value of Facebook. Since you understand our situation so clearly and you still want to invest in us, it means that you are also optimistic about Facebook. I am right!"

"Just because I'm optimistic doesn't mean I have to ignore risks. In business, I need to take risk factors into consideration. Maybe Facebook can survive this negative impact, but you need time, but the funds you raised last time have already been spent."

Is it gone? Facebook without negative impact would be worth 20 billion or even 30 billion, but now it’s only worth 10 billion!”

Jiang Junxiang was not moved by Parker's sophistry. This was his typical concept of stealing.

Parker was still introducing Facebook endlessly. He had been involved in the capital circle and knew the psychology of investors very well. He felt that he could persuade this young man to increase his offer through the introduction of Facebook. Unfortunately, he was doomed to fail.

Jiang Junxiang will definitely invest, but the price will never be higher than dst's.

Parker said he was tired, picked up his coffee and stopped talking. He was a little angry. He hated such inexperienced investors the most. Looking at them, he knew that the price he gave would not be too high. If he hadn't understood the current situation on Wall Street,

Regarding Facebook’s attitude, he had already dragged Zuckerberg away.

The atmosphere was a bit dull for a moment, but Zuckerberg's eyes were empty, and he just looked at Jiang Junxiang without saying a word. It had been going on for nearly a minute, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

Jiang Junxiang was a little confused when he looked at him like this. He tilted his head and looked at Parker next to Zuckerberg with a questioning look.

"Don't pay attention to him, he is thinking, this is just his habit!"

Parker saw Jiang Junxiang's questioning look and Zuckerberg's current state, so he said lightly. Obviously, he knew his partner very well.

"Alex, how much can you vote for?"

At this time, Zuckerberg also came to his senses and directly asked Jiang Junxiang the amount of investment.

"With a valuation of US$10 billion, I can invest 200 million!"

"200 million is absolutely impossible, we refuse!"

When Park heard what Jiang Junxiang said, it was a full one-third less than the last round of financing, and it only invested 200 million! He couldn't help but shouted angrily. Fortunately, there were no other customers in the cafe, otherwise it would definitely arouse others' anger.

glare.

Jiang Junxiang glanced at Parker, smiled and said nothing, and then looked at Zuckerberg again. The intelligence given to him by CIA mentioned that Parker, as Zuckerberg's teacher or think tank, had a great influence on him.

Influence.

But it is always Zuckerberg himself who makes the decision. He is a very controlling person.

"We plan to need 400 million US dollars in this financing to support the company's expansion before the next financing! If you can invest 400 million, I agree to your offer."

Zuckerberg ignored Parker's anger and stated his conditions. He also knew very well what kind of blow his stupid decision at the beginning of the year had brought to Facebook. Now it is time to pay for the decision-making mistakes.

"I will add up to 50 million! I need to consider the risks. If you can't solve this crisis, all my money will be wasted!"

"$350 million is needed to support the next expansion plan. We can't do anything less than this."
