In the blink of an eye, it was 2004.
On the morning of January 1, Shanda Group held a press conference to release the "Shanda IM" software.
Media reporters and industry insiders were amazed!
Countless Internet companies doing IM have died tragically under the scythe of Tencent QQ, but Shanda Group is actually "not afraid of death"!
"The Shanda Group is awesome, this is going to challenge Tencent!"
"Hehe, Shanda Group is beyond its own power, thinking it's awesome to get investment from SoftBank, but as everyone knows, it's courting death!!"
"But I have to say that Shanda Group has developed very smoothly in recent years. "Legend of Blood", "Legend World", and "Bubble Hall" are very popular. Shanda Group has made a lot of money. Naturally, its ambitions are also big. stand up."
"The IM released by Shanda Group is mainly for players to communicate in games. This differentiated competition may really make Shanda IM develop!" said a senior person in the industry.
After the press conference, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in the faraway Hawaii, the scenery is picturesque and the climate is pleasant, and many people come here for vacation. This Christmas holiday, Li Zetian accompanied his family on vacation here. When he heard that Shanda Group had developed IM, he didn't say anything, just smiled.
Hehe, how can Shanda Group be a rival of Tencent
Li Zetian is naturally very at ease on vacation here, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, basking in the sun, blowing the sea breeze, how pleasant life is.
When the weather is good, they also go fishing.
Barbecue on the beach at night and eat the fish you caught.
William and Youran have become very busy now. They left after only a few days in Hawaii, and both have to go to work. Fortunately, there are two wives and cute little Yueyue by Li Zetian's side, so they are not lonely.
On February 4th, Mark Zuckerberg created a social networking site at Harvard University called FacetoFace. He originally wanted to register the Facebook domain name, but it was already registered, which made him depressed.
At the same time, he also knew that there was a person at Stanford University who did a similar social networking site with him and became a competitor.
"Who created Facebook at Stanford University?" Mark Zuckerberg didn't say that he sympathized with each other, but he was curious.
When William started Facebook, his identity was not made public.
If people knew that Facebook's founder was the son of the world's richest man, Chronos Li, Facebook would have gotten a lot of media attention and won easily. However, this was not what he wanted. He wants to prove his ability to the world, not rely on his father's relationship.
Well, that's a bit of a lie. A $5 million start-up capital is still different from other self-made entrepreneurs.
The new semester of American universities started, and Facebook became popular at Stanford University. More and more Stanford students knew about Facebook. One week after the start of the semester, Facebook's registered users reached more than 3,500. The total number of students at Stanford University is only more than 18,900.
"Mars, do you know Facebook? A lot of people at school are using Facebook, and I heard Liz Cronin, the goddess in our class, is also using it, and she's posted a lot of sexy photos that make a bunch of perverts drool. !" In the men's dormitory of Stanford University, a man with glasses ran in from outside the house and immediately said to a boy who was writing code.
"Oh my god, my goddess Liz Cronin has posted a lot of sexy photos!!!" Card, what is Facebook?! I want to see pictures of Liz Cronin!"
"Hehe, just Google it and you'll know!"
"Oh." Mars suddenly responded, and quickly opened the web page and searched Facebook.
"Damn, you can't view Facebook content without registering as a user!" Mars scolded, crackling, and quickly registered an account. While registering, he learned about the website and knew that the website implemented a real-name system. To find Liz Cronin, he only needed to search for her name on Facebook.
"This site is great!" Mars couldn't help giving a Facebook like in his heart.
Soon, Mars found Liz Cronin's page and saw the photos she posted.
"Wow! Bulge forward and backward, plump and fat buttocks, this figure makes the devil go crazy!!!" Mars only felt short of breath, and his little brother had a tendency to raise his head.
"Damn it, so many people left messages, and I even saw several boys in my class!" Mars was upset, and he quickly left a message to show his love to Liz Cronin.
After a while, Mars Gracie turned to Deca and asked, "Deca, do you know who created Facebook? I want to join this team!"
Deckard shook his head, "I don't know, but you can contact the other party through the phone number left on the website."
"Oh, that's right!!" Mars shouted, immediately took out his mobile phone, and dialed the contact information on the official website of the website.
After a while, Mars said excitedly: "Oh, great! They even heard of me, I just called and said I wanted to go to Facebook, and the other party agreed immediately, and gave me an address to let me come over tonight. . Deca, do you want to join me on Facebook?"
Deckard shook his head and said, "Sorry, Mars, my goal is to join big companies like Apple, Google, and IBM after graduation!"
"Oh, what a cool site Facebook is, what a shame you didn't come!" Mars sighed. According to Mars, it is better to work in a big company than to do something that interests you.
That night, Marster dressed up, put on a suit, and came to a small building in the school.
dong dong dong!
Mars knocked on the door, and after a while, a young man walked in. Mars looked at the other party, and couldn't help but be surprised. The man in front of him was the man of the Stanford University, the computer genius Wayne Terry!
"Wayne Terry!!!" Mars called out his name directly.
Wayne Terry smiled and stretched out his hand: "Welcome to Facebook, Mars Gracie!"
"It's my honor!" Mars shook hands with him, then asked, "You created Facebook?"
Wayne Terry smiled and shook his head, "You'll know who it is later!"
"Oh~" Mars was even more curious at this time. Wayne Terry was a computer genius at Stanford University. Many big companies didn't want to hire him. Last time IBM offered an annual salary of 600,000 US dollars, but he was hired by Wayne Terry. En Terry refused. What kind of character made Wayne Terry willingly work for him
Walking into this small building, Mars became more and more excited and curious.
At this time, he came to a hall, which was very similar to the office halls of many companies.
"This is where the Facebook website works!" Mars affirmed.
"Mars, please come with me, the boss is waiting for you on the second floor."
"Oh well."
After a while, Mars followed Wayne Terry to the second floor, then stopped in front of a glass door.
"go in."
"Um."
Mars pushed the door and entered. Inside was a luxuriously decorated independent office. A man was sitting on a chair with his back to him. When he turned around, Mars finally saw what he looked like.
