Chapter 206 Little Mazi and Visiting Facebook
San Francisco Mockingbirds Games.
Andy sat on the boss's chair, playing with Nokia N96 in his hand, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth, threw his phone onto the desk, narrowed his eyes slightly, and just as he was about to touch his nose, his hand stopped in the air, cursed inwardly, and changed to touching his chin. Because of touching his nose, someone threatened to abandon the book! It was so terrible!
This was the second day he came to San Francisco. Alvetre and his Facebook negotiations were basically over. However, in terms of Facebook's market value, it had been in a stalemate. Neither side chose to give in. Just two people rolled up their sleeves and fought in the conference room, because even Li Xiaoying came forward to count the many shortcomings of Facebook. After all, her professional knowledge was even more awesome, and she directly hit the Facebook negotiator.
Afterwards, they also asked Alvetre about Li Xiaoying's situation and seemed to want to invite her to join Facebook.
Andy could only wait patiently at the game company, but in the afternoon he received an unexpected call. Well, it wasn't surprising, it was just that the other party took him too seriously. The ceo of the Peak Entertainment Company, Robert Freeman, called him from New York, a week after the two met.
Before he could speak, Andy told Rob with a laugh that he had left New York and was in San Francisco and would go back to Los Angeles in a few days. If you have anything to do, you can talk about it. If you are in a hurry, you can find Carl first. He is very busy now. After a few words of conversations Andy hung up the phone, his attitude seemed very cold, and it seemed that he had forgotten what he had talked to when he met and talked a lot.
In New York, Robert Forreman hung up the phone with a deep face and looked at Pierce, who was sitting opposite him and one of the big bosses, who spoke: "He is no longer New York. Let's go back to Los Angeles to talk. It seems that because of our sluggishness, his attitude is very cold."
Pierce's face looked a little ugly, and she coughed a few times, and said helplessly: "Before we came, we received a Mocking Bird Copyright Company seemed to be in contact with the six major groups and wanted to bundle the copyrights of two series of novels. It seems that it is not what we guessed, but just to put pressure on us..."
Robert Freman's forehead was beating blue, and he had already started cursing in his heart. Why didn't anyone tell him this news? It seems that there are too few people in Dingfeng Entertainment Company. He must install more when he goes back this time. If he cannot leave the company, he will become a blind man and a deaf man.
"Andy Smith asked us to contact Carl, the manager of the copyright company... To be honest, I don't want to talk to that fat man, I'm worried that I can't control myself from beating him..." Robert Freman's eyes twitched. When the fat man snatched the copyright of "Twilight" with him in person, he wanted to go up and punch him, not to mention that he is now rushing to find him to be slaughtered. This fat man has long been famous among Hollywood film companies, villains, bed bugs, vampires, and all the unpleasant words can be used on him.
Because he disassembled the copyright of all the stories in Andy Smith's "Dark Fairy Tales" series, yes, that's right, disassemble and sell it!
The people who were dancing and scolding the streets were Disney people. They had wanted to make a fortune all at once, but now they could only bid with other film companies one by one. Moreover, Xuele Publishing House has begun to promote the second volume of "Dark Fairy Tales" and will be launched around Christmas.
Andy called Carl and told him about the matter, and then stopped worrying about it. Since he called again after so many days, it means that the people of Dingfeng Entertainment have basically accepted Andy's proposal. Then just leave the next thing to Carl, and they can't bite them to death!
One day later, the negotiation parties still did not reach an agreement on the market value issue, and Andy was a little impatient. In fact, Xiao Mazi was also a little annoyed because he really had no money to burn. All of them came forward to invite Andy to visit Facebook.
Andy happily went there.
Facebook's headquarters is located in the Mid Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Andy and his group drove five or six black business vehicles.
While in the car, Andy asked Alvetre about his impression of Mark Zuckerberg. Al shook his head and smiled bitterly with a constipated expression, as if he had seen something unclean.
Thinking of Xiao Mazi's reputation and the performance in the movie, a person wearing a casual hoodie, with clean hair but not much care, with soft curly hair and soft clinging to the scalp, with big eyes that are particularly bright, but can make out inappropriate swear words when he opens his mouth. It is rare for such a top-notch person, especially his unique aesthetic. Well, his Chinese wife is still a girlfriend now. Even if the Celestials look at it, they feel a little LOW, but they can't resist Xiao Mazi's love to death.
Well, Andy didn't feel embarrassed anymore. After all, Al is a little bitch, and her boyfriend is also a tall middle-aged handsome guy. It's really uncomfortable to look at Xiao Mazi's unkempt appearance.
The car drove into the Facebook park and stopped under a five or six-story building. Joseph got off the car first and opened the door for Andy. Andy was a slim black suit, a white shirt and a dark blue striped tie. Although Andy was tall, the high-order clothes made him look not so thick.
When Andy got off the car, he saw four or five people gathering on the steps in front of the building. A young man was surrounded by a small brown curly hair clasped against his scalp, wearing a blue-black pullover lapel sweater, a slightly fat jeans, a pair of blue-black puzzle white basketball shoes, and the person behind him had a pretty suit and tie.
Seeing the young, tall and handsome Andy get off the car, Xiao Mazi immediately knew that this person was Andy Smith. Well, you can tell by just looking at this podium, so she also took the people down the steps. Both of them were young people walking in front and met soon.
"Hey, man, welcome to Facebook, I'm Mark Zuckerberg." Little Mazi spoke before she could smile and said, "I started to welcome her."
Although Andy is not very familiar with Xiao Mazi, after all, he has watched the movie. Even if there is a Romance part, Xiao Mazi likes to take the initiative. He is still very clear. Andy doesn't care. As long as it can bring benefits to him, even if Xiao Mazi steals all the limelight, he won't mind.
"Hello, Mr. Zuckerberg, I'm Andy Smith." After introducing himself, Andy reached out and shook hands with Xiaomazi.
Then, Xiao Mazi invited Andy to visit the company. When walking, Andy found that Xiao Mazi was always consciously leading half a position ahead of him, and spoke very quickly.
When I walked into Facebook, people in the company today already knew that the big bosses of the group of people who had been negotiating with them these days have come, but they still do whatever they should do. Obviously, these IT men are not interested in these things.
Little Mazi and Andy walked side by side, with happy smiles on each other. Little Mazi introduced all the office areas passing by along the way, very enthusiastic. Andy asked a few questions from time to time and had a great time to talk.
The staff passing by only saw that their boss and investors got along well. Of course, this may be because Xiao Mazi was intentional. Andy didn't care about Xiao Mazi's tricks. He knew that since Xiao Mazi kicked one of his partners Edward out of Facebook, his prestige has been greatly hurt in the company. If he could help Xiao Mazi establish some prestige, Andy wouldn't mind helping him. After all, only Xiao Mazi's Facebook can bring him huge benefits.
Xiao Mazi originally thought that as a newly-recommended young rich man, he was not interested in the work and environment of a boring IT company, and would soon become impatient or something. However, seeing Andy Smith listened to his introduction very carefully along the way, and he showed his thoughtful expression from time to time. He was not pretending to be interested, but was really curious about everything about Facebook.
Xiao Mazi's speech and reaction speed are very fast, and her logical thinking is a bit jumping, but every time Andy can keep up with his rhythm, and even respond to it to the key point, so Xiao Mazi has a great chat. Sometimes, some of Andy's small suggestions were even perfunctory at the beginning, but the slight disdain in her tone can still be heard, which is nothing more than treating Andy as an outsider. Although Andy spoke out his experience from the perspective of a user, Andy still deliberately mixed some of the specious things that he had already prepared to deal with Xiao Mazi's creativity and functions.
Although in Xiao Mazi's opinion, some of them can be repeated with the ideas that the company is preparing to use and have already started to apply, there are still a few that he and the people in the company have never thought about in that direction.
"Andy, your ideas are really good. No wonder you can become a billionaire by creativity. It's so great!" Mark stopped calling Mr. Smith, and called Andy's name directly.
Andy smiled modestly on the surface, but couldn't help but curl her lips in her heart. What he said just now was all variations of domestic copycat foreign creativity in his previous life, but now it was awesome creative ideas. Well, it's Andy's original works now.
"Haha, I have written down the complete ideas of these ideas and are ready. It is in the hands of the lawyers of my team. As long as Mark, you are willing to give a little benefit, I think those documents will not disappoint you!" Andy teased with a little bit of joke.
Andy doesn't believe Xiao Mazi's integrity. A large part of Facebook's creativity is to copy others, and it was their investor at that time. Xiao Mazi could copy the ideas he said without any pressure. If he had not told him in advance, he would have protected his creativity. As long as Andy left, Xiao Mazi could immediately write the code and apply it to Facebook.
