Chapter 005 The local tyrant sees hanging silk
Wearing big sunglasses and having a very stylish appearance on board the plane.
As the most advanced private jet today, the G550 has an amazing interior with a fully customized interior. Each seat is designed in first-class specifications, and hand-sewn genuine leather is warm in winter and cool in summer;
There is also a sofa in the middle area that can be expanded as a bed, which is very comfortable for a long distance; refrigerators and TVs are standard, and there is a kitchen and bathroom at the end. Each area is separated by waxed solid wood, ensuring privacy.
Sheikh, who sat on a leather chair and took off his sunglasses, said feeling comfortable. The flight attendant came over and squatted in front of him, tied his seat belt, and told him in a gentle tone to take off.
The private jet has no extra wait. As long as you obtain the permission to take off, it will accelerate on the runway without any delay, soar and run towards the vast blue sky. After reaching the stratosphere, the flight has returned to stability.
Fahill came over with a folder, and Sheikh signaled the drink cup in his hand. Fahill shook his head: "Sir, here are the information about the company you are following, among which Apple and Amazon are relatively rich."
"Um."
"But we only found one website that you mentioned, which does not meet your description. There is a Facebook that meets your criteria, and Zuckerberg happens to be among its founders."
"Take it to me." Sheikh said, and he suddenly remembered that Facebook still has a "the" now. The reason is naturally that it has no money and cannot buy a domain name from the owner.
Regarding this small business, there is very limited information to obtain in a short period of time. I only know that it was founded by a group of Harvard college students. It was first popular on campus. Last year, it had received a $500,000 angel investment.
They currently set up their offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the famous Silicon Valley is located and is also the dream place for countless Internet and technology entrepreneurs. Sheikh judged that they should still be in an urgent period of funding.
If we infer this way, Mark Zuckerberg is still just a dream-ridden rush and does not know that his company will develop into a giant in the future.
"It should be still enough." Xie He was looking forward to it, but he didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to work with future bosses. This kind of opportunity is rare.
Fashircha asked with a slight expression: "Sir, are you very optimistic about this company?"
"I think it will be very promising." Sheikh took a sip of juice. He wanted champagne, but this was the Chief's special plane and there was no alcohol ban.
Fahill then analyzed: "With the size of this company, giving young founding teams a lot of money, they have a high chance of selling their own company."
"Unrealistic." Sheikh shook his head, not to mention Zuckerberg's stubborn temper. Facebook has made achievements now, and it is too stupid to sell the company in the upward stage.
But these foresighted and Sheikh could not say: "Unless we have more than one billion investments, they will not sell them. You should find a way to hold as much as possible."
"I understand what you think."
Fasher thought about it and said later: "We can obtain priority in the form of a premium to ensure that we can continue to increase our holdings in the future."
Sheikh then thought: "As long as they have financial needs in the future, can we give priority to investing?"
Fahill nodded: "If you are optimistic about its prospects, you should take this form, but we need to play a rich and careless image."
Sheikh was amused as soon as he heard this: "This is the attitude I want."
...
After a long flight, he arrived in the western United States. The entry of the business visa was relatively smooth. However, after getting off the plane, Sheikh looked at the blue sky above his head and yawned continuously.
Fashir said considerately: "Sir, why don't you go and have a rest first? I can have a preliminary contact with them on your behalf so that our financing will not be too abrupt."
The founding team of any company will have some resistance to investors who have been involved. Even if they are "angels" who bring money to the door, they will inevitably have the idea of being taken away from the fruits.
Sheikh also agreed with Fashir's idea: "You go and do it, start from the perspective of making friends."
"I understand, sir." Fahill took the order to do business. He had just rested on the plane and was not as excited as Sheikh.
So after she arrived at the booked five-star hotel suite, she fell down and slept. She got up a few hours later, turned on the refrigerator in the living room, and took a bottle of beer to drink.
Although there are bars in Dubai, it is not easy for him to drink. Now he is free here. No one knows him, and those who know him dare not go out to talk nonsense.
“Comfortable!”
Sheikh leaned on the sofa, stretched his waist comfortably, thinking about the next meeting in his mind. Since he wanted to invest a lot of stocks, it was necessary to show his strength.
Compared with those prominent venture capital companies in the United States, Dubai Holding Group is not well-known. Sheikh hopes that Dubai's reputation can play a role and let Zuckerberg and his group know that they are very rich.
Only when they know that they have money but will not make any mistakes in the company's affairs can they become the ideal investor in the eyes of the founding team and generously allow themselves to join.
But this is not enough. Sheikh looked at the number one dog-leg who came out of the room and had an idea: "Amir, come with me!"
...
For the team at the-Facebook, today was also quite unexpected.
A Dubai businessman came to visit. The name Dubai is much more famous than ordinary people for these people who have been surfing the Internet for many years, such as the world's most luxurious seven-star hotel, the amazing construction of the Palm Island, and the world's first tall building.
They welcomed the mysterious Dubai visitors, and then heard that the Dubai princes praised their novel social concepts after using Facebook, and even traveled thousands of miles to come from the eastern United States to share their creativity with the team.
Fahill's few words of praise came to their hearts, and immediately made young people including Zuckerberg proud. Some people couldn't help but cheer: "Who dares to tell us that Facebook is a nerdy software!"
Zuckerberg asked, "Have he here?"
Fahill fabricated: "He is already in San Francisco, but I am worried that the rash visit will disturb you, so I will take my own initiative to talk to you first."
"You mean, the prince has a lot of advice on our products?"
"He is like you, and he is very enthusiastic about the Internet." Fahill smiled and nodded. It could be seen that the young man was very proud of the prince's arrival.
In the initial stage of entrepreneurship, when there are differences within the team or even back down, the big shots are definitely a great encouragement.
The group of people have already started to mutter: "If the news of the prince's visit is spread, it will definitely be a good improvement in the reputation of the product!"
"I heard that Dubai is super rich. As a member of the royal family, you must have gold diamonds from beginning to end?"
"He should be the most prominent among our users, right?"
