Chapter 456 Joining Facebook (Fifth Change)

In the blink of an eye, it was 2004.

On the morning of January 1st, Shanda Group held a press conference and released the "Shanda IM" software.

Media reporters and people in the industry were very surprised!

Countless Internet companies doing IM have died tragically under the scythe of Tencent QQ. Shanda Group is actually "not afraid of death"!
"Shanda Group is awesome, this is going to challenge Tencent!"

"Hehe, Shanda Group is overthinking itself, thinking that it is awesome to get the investment from Softbank, but I don't know, this is 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 all very popular. Shanda Group has made a lot of money. Naturally, its ambitions have also grown stand up."

"The IM released by Shanda Group is mainly for players to use for game communication. This kind of differentiated competition may really make Shanda IM develop!" said a senior person in the industry.

After the press conference, one stone caused a thousand waves, and in the distant Hawaii, at this time, the scenery is picturesque and the climate is pleasant, and there are many people who come here for tourism and vacation.This Christmas holiday, Li Zetian and his family are here on vacation.When he heard that Shanda Group developed IM, he didn't say anything, just laughed it off.

Hehe, how can Shanda Group be Tencent's rival?

Li Zetian is naturally very at ease here on vacation, 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 will go fishing.

In the evening, barbecue on the beach and eat the fish you caught.

William and Youran have become very busy people now, they left after only a few days in Hawaii, and both had to go to work.Fortunately, there are two wives and cute little Yueyue by Li Zetian's side, so he is not lonely.

On February 2th, Mark Zuckerberg created a social networking site called FacetoFace at Harvard University. He originally wanted to register the Facebook domain name, but unfortunately it was already registered, which made him very depressed.

At the same time, he also knew that there was a person from Stanford University who had a similar social networking site with him and became a competitor.

"Who created Facebook at Stanford University?" Mark Zuckerberg didn't say he was sympathetic, but he was curious.

When William created the Facebook site, his identity was not disclosed to the public.

If people knew that the founder of Facebook was the son of Chronos Li, the richest man in the world, then Facebook would definitely get a lot of media attention and win easily.However, this is not what he wants.He wants to prove his ability to the world instead of relying on his father's relationship.

Well, this is a bit false to say. The starting capital of 500 million US dollars is still different from other self-made entrepreneurs.

The new semester of American universities started, and Facebook became popular in Stanford University. More and more Stanford students knew about Facebook. After the first week of school, the number of registered Facebook users reached more than 3500.The total number of students at Stanford University is just over 18900.

"Mars, do you know Facebook? A lot of people in school use Facebook, I heard our class goddess Liz Cronin uses it too, and she posts a lot of sexy pictures, which makes a lot of perverts drool !” In the male dormitory of Stanford University, a man with glasses ran in from outside, and immediately said to a boy who was writing code.

"Oh, my God, my goddess Liz Cronin has sent a lot of sexy photos!!!" Mars looked up at the other party with a surprised expression, as if he had been slapped with chicken blood, and his eyes were full of excitement, "Di Ka, what is Facebook?! I want to see Liz Cronin's picture!"

"Hehe, you can find out after a Google search!"

"Oh." Mars suddenly responded, quickly opened the webpage, and searched Facebook.

"Damn, if you don't register as a user, you can't view the content of Facebook!" Mars cursed, crackling, and quickly registered an account.While registering, he learned about this website, and knew that this website implemented a real-name system. If he wanted to find Liz Cronin, he only needed to search her name on Facebook.

"This website is good!" Mars couldn't help but like Facebook in his heart.

Soon, Mars found Liz Cronin's page and looked at the photos she posted.

"Wow! Protruding forward and backward, plump and fat ass, this figure makes the devil go crazy!!!" Mars felt short of breath, and his little brother tended 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 look at Dika and asked, "Dika, do you know who founded Facebook? I want to join this team!"

Dika 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 yelled, immediately took out his mobile phone, and dialed the contact information on the website's official website.

After a while, Mars said excitedly: "Oh, that's great! They've heard of me. I just called and said I wanted to work on Facebook. The other party immediately agreed and gave me an address for me to come tonight. .Dicka, do you want to join Facebook with me?"

Dika 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, it would be a shame you weren't there!" Mars sighed.In Mars' view, working for a big company is better than doing something you are interested in.

That night, Marster dressed up, put on a suit, and came to a small building in the school.

Boom boom boom!
Mars knocked on the door, and after a while, a young man walked in.Mars sized him up and couldn't help but be surprised. The man in front of him was a man of the day at Stanford University, computer genius Wayne Terry!

"Wayne Terry!!!" Mars called out his name directly.

Wayne Terry smiled slightly, held out his hand and said, "Welcome to Facebook, Mars Gracie!"

"It's my honor!" Mars shook hands with him, and asked immediately, "You created Facebook?"

Wayne Terry shook his head with a smile, "You'll know who it is later!"

"Oh~" Mars became even more curious at this time. Wayne Terry is a computer genius at Stanford University. Many big companies couldn't hire him. Last time, IBM offered an annual salary of 60 US dollars, but Wei Wayne Terry refused, what kind of person actually made Wayne Terry willing to 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 decorated very similar to the office halls of many companies.

"This is where the Facebook website works!" Mars affirmed in his heart.

"Mars, please follow me, the boss is waiting for you on the second floor."

"Oh well."

After a while, Mars followed Wayne Terry up to the second floor, and then stopped in front of a glass door.

"go in."

"Ah."

Mars pushed the door and entered, inside was a luxuriously decorated independent office, a man was sitting on a chair with his back facing him, when he turned around, Mars finally saw his appearance.
