I Have A Super USB Drive

Forty-two - Negotiations between Facebook and Twitter

A few days later, a company called "Black Light Biotechnology" quietly settled in the city of Shangdu.

The company's office space is located on the 45th floor of an ordinary office building in the Central Business District. Its appearance did not attract anyone's attention.

After all, every day, several such small businesses are created, and at the same time, several small businesses disappear, and their disappearance and appearance do not even cause the slightest ripple.

Just like all living beings in this world, how many people can leave an understatement in the long river of history?

As soon as the company was seated, it immediately entered the recruitment process, leaving Xia Yin, who was in danger, in a hurry. Fortunately, she brought in a few employees of Huiyao Entertainment, which put the company on the right track.

After the company recruited the first batch of staff, Xia Yin let those employees go back, after all, it was necessary to avoid suspicion.

The first team of the company has only established five departments of customer service, technology, planning, publicity, and personnel for the time being, with less than 20 people in total.

As for the publicity and distribution of "Xiao X Translation Assistant", Chen Chen also handed over to the company to take care of it, such as propaganda, navy posts, web page pop-ups, etc. Xia Yin directly used the page tour set, just to ask Uncle Da shot a few local commercials.

The technical department is only responsible for the operation of the website for the time being. In terms of software development and updating, the technical department is not involved at all, so that there is no risk of source code leakage.

At this moment, Chen Chen was wearing a suit and sitting lazily in the chairman's office.

Because the company was a start-up, at Xia Yin's strong request, Chen Chen came to the company to show up. This was also the first time Chen Chen showed up since the company was established.

"At present, our products are still in the stage of free promotion, and this state may continue for a period of time. It is really not good. We can stop the loss by accepting advertisements."

Opposite Chen Chen was Xia Yin. At this time, Xia Yin was wearing a black OL outfit, and her temperament was obviously much more capable than a month ago.

"No need, our products do not need any advertisements."

Chen Chen shook his head and gently turned the gel pen in his hand, "Each company has its own corporate image, if you can choose, I hope our company and our products can leave people's 'clean and clean'. impression, this is much more important than those petty profits.”

"After all, word of mouth will ferment."

"Then when should we enter the charging link?"

Xia Yin asked, "Last month we spent tens of millions of dollars in advertising fees, and the company will have no money if it goes on like this."

"Actually, the demand for our products is not great for the people in Central Continent."

Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "After all, you must know that the population density of the Central Continent is comparable to that of several other continents, and the communication with the outside world is far less urgent than other continents, so the focus of our market should be in addition to the Central Continent. Outside the region, other more complex continents, such as the European region with multiple languages, and our neighbor, the Indian region."

"Especially in the continents that use Facebook and Twitter," Chen Chen added.

"Chairman, Manager Xia."

At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged woman suddenly came from outside the door.

"Please come in!" Chen Chen beckoned.

"This is my assistant, Sister Ye." Xia Yin introduced Chen Chen. "With Sister Ye's help, I can make up for my lack of experience in managing the company."

"Manager Xia has won the prize."

The middle-aged woman known as Sister Ye smiled faintly, "The chairman, representatives from Facebook and Twitter have already gone downstairs."

Chen Chen suddenly raised his head, "Did they come together?"

"It seems... yes." Sister Ye couldn't keep up with Chen Chen's thinking, and stammered, "Is there any problem?"

Chen Chen chuckled, "It took a month to come, it seems that they still can't crack the core of my program."

Sister Ye heard the words,

Suddenly he smiled awkwardly, "Chairman, are you going to meet them at the door now?"

"What to greet?" Chen Chen looked puzzled, "Don't they have long legs?"

"Uh..." Sister Ye choked, "Then, shall I let them go directly to the conference room?"

"Yes, let them wait in the conference room first, I will come later."

Watching Sister Ye turn and leave, Chen Chen turned his pen and looked at the other person's back with a thoughtful look on his face.

After waiting for a while, Chen Chen got up and walked towards the conference room after seeing several blond foreigners file in outside the glass window.

Xia Yin quickly followed.

When Chen Chen walked into the conference room, five foreigners were already sitting in front of the guest seats. These five were three men and two women, all wearing work suits. Sister Ye was busy serving tea and pouring water to several people.

On Chen Chen's side, in addition to him and Sister Xia Yinye, there is also a fresh graduate studying law.

When Chen Chen was seated, the man headed by the foreigner said, "Hello Mr. Chen and Ms. Xia, I'm Tony, the executive officer of Facebook's legal department, this lady here, Emily, is my companion. Mr. Alvin is the representative of Twitter, and the other two are our assistants this time."

What everyone didn't expect was that the other party actually used authentic Chinese.

Chen Chen glanced at the five of them and nodded, "I'm Chen Chen, the chairman of Black Light Technology. I don't know what is the purpose of these people here?"

"That's right, Mr. Chen."

Tony smiled and said, "We, Facebook and Twitter, hope to make a Series A investment in your company. Although your company has not made a profit for the time being, it has already created a certain reputation in the industry. We estimate your company's reputation. The value is US$1.5 billion, and if Mr. Chen agrees, our two companies can buy 70% of your company for US$1 billion."

"Sorry, I don't have any idea of ​​financing yet." Chen Chen replied without hesitation.

"Uh, don't Mr. Chen need to think about it again?"

Tony was a little surprised, "As far as I know, your company's angel round has only raised eight million dollars. This money is not enough to develop excellent products like "Xiao X Translation Assistant", right?"

"That's not something you should consider."

Chen Chen picked up the tea and took a sip, "If it's just for this matter, you don't need to continue talking about it."

"All right……"

Seeing that Chen Chen's oil and salt did not enter, the other party had to change the way, "Since this is the case, then Mr. Chen, please take a look at this letter of intent."

Saying that, Emily on the side took out a few thin white books from her satchel and handed them to Chen Chen, Sister Xia Yinye and the others.

"As stated in the letter of intent, we Facebook can purchase the perpetual right to use "Little X" on our Facebook platform for $100 million without interfering with your company's software operations."

"So does our Twitter."

Alvin, who has not spoken, said, "We are also willing to pay 100 million US dollars to invite your company's "Little X Translation Assistant" to enter the Twitter platform."

Sister Ye on the side suddenly reminded in a low voice with words that only Xia Yin and Chen Chen could hear, "Manager Xia, the other party's one is equivalent to both advertising us by paying money, which is absolutely necessary for our company's publicity. It's a great opportunity!"
