Chapter 1074 A Historic Meeting

So-called experience, to put it bluntly, is a combination of deep cunning, strong功利心, high demands, and sharp eyes—altogether, what is called maturity.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone must go through the process of growth.

It is said that if God wants to destroy a man, He first drives him mad.

But in the end, only those with a certain mad obsession in some aspect can achieve success beyond ordinary people.

Zuckerberg is such a person, and so is Sean Parker.

Of course, the current Zuckerberg has not yet become that businessman; he is just a young man starting a business, with dreams in his heart, and not even much confidence in Facebook.

In fact, without Zhao Fusheng's several resolute supports, Zuckerberg wouldn't have been so optimistic about Facebook's prospects.

Historically, during this period, Zuckerberg was both working hard to promote Facebook into universities across the United States and struggling with whether to continue.

It wasn't until he met Sean Parker, who gave him great encouragement and formulated a plan to vigorously promote Facebook.

Even the originally named Thefacebook was suggested by Parker to be renamed Facebook, simple and clear.

Of course, now this credit has become Zhao Fusheng's.

"Zhao, this is our dormitory."

After settling Zhao Fusheng and the others into a hotel near Harvard University, Zuckerberg and his roommates dragged Zhao Fusheng to the dormitory.

As for Dong Chenxi, well, from start to finish, aside from initially being surprised that this girl from the East was very beautiful, the few of them basically ignored her and focused all their attention on Zhao Fusheng, the biggest financial backer of Facebook.

Guys like this have reasons for being forever alone.

Zhao Fusheng looked around this dormitory that was destined to become a Harvard legend, feeling somewhat excited inside.

On the dormitory's fireplace was a sticker that read "USE OF THIS FIREPLACE IS PROHIBITED."

"Why can't this fireplace be used?" Zhao Fusheng asked curiously.

"School administrative regulations," said Chris Hughes, now the official spokesperson for Facebook. "Every dorm has such a sticker. Who knows what those bigwigs are thinking."

Zhao Fusheng had now met this small group from Facebook. As in history, official spokesperson Chris Hughes, Dustin Moskovitz in charge of technology, and Eduardo Saverin as chief financial officer.

Of course, because of Zhao Fusheng's appearance, Saverin did not become an investor in Facebook and naturally did not receive shares.

"Zhao, what do you think of this place?" Zuckerberg asked Zhao Fusheng with a smile.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "This place is destined to become a legend."

Obviously, these Harvard elites did not understand the meaning behind Zhao Fusheng's words, but that didn't stop them from liking this young man from the East.

After all, this guy was the financial backer who waved his hand and poured a large sum of money into their website.

Moreover, Zhao Fusheng said he would not interfere with the normal operation of the website, a typical hands-off boss, which was simply the best thing for a group of geeks.

"By the way, Zhao, I'm going to meet someone tonight. Do you have time? Let's go together," Zuckerberg suddenly said to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then smiled: "Sure."

Although he didn't know who that person was, since Zuckerberg actively invited him, Zhao Fusheng naturally wouldn't refuse. Even if they were destined to part ways later, he didn't mind building a good personal relationship with him.

Then, at dinner, Zhao Fusheng met Sean Parker.

"Zhao, this is Sean Parker, my favorite hacker," Zuckerberg introduced the two. "Sean, this is Zhao, from mysterious China. He is our Facebook investor."

Zhao Fusheng sized up Sean Parker and revealed a smile.

If he remembered correctly, this guy wasn't actually like in the movie The Social Network, where he learned about Facebook on a female college student's bed. No, it was in his friend's girlfriend's room...

For details, please refer to a certain island nation's small film, content being NTR.

But overall, Parker might have a chaotic private life, but his personal ability was unquestionable. After all, he was a presence that left a mark in the history of internet development.

"Zhao, nice to meet you," Parker extended his hand to Zhao Fusheng, very warmly.

Zhao Fusheng also smiled: "Likewise, Mr. Parker."

"No, no, no, you can call me Sean," Sean Parker said with a smile. "To be honest, I'm fascinated by Facebook. It's a truly great idea. Believe me, it will succeed."

It was obvious that this guy really liked Facebook and was full of appreciation.

Zuckerberg blushed instantly at Sean Parker's words. This guy was naturally shy, and now the words came from the famous Sean Parker. Clearly, Zucker was embarrassed.

Compared to Zucker's shyness, Zhao Fusheng was naturally very calm. He chuckled and said, "I think so too. So, Sean, would you like to come and help Zucker?"

What?!

Not only Sean Parker, but even Zuckerberg was stunned. He never expected Zhao Fusheng to directly make this request.

"Zhao, do you mean you want me to work with you?" Sean Parker looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said to Zuckerberg, "Zucker, would you like Sean to become the CEO of our company?"

At this moment, Zuckerberg was like a little fan, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

As the founder of Facebook, Zuckerberg's consistent style was more inclined toward technology. He didn't really like or excel at things like attracting investment and doing promotions.

On the other hand, Sean Parker had a lot of experience in this area.

In the original history, this meeting between Sean Parker and Zuckerberg completely changed the fate of Facebook, giving it a driver for rapid development.

"Sean, I know you're in some trouble right now," Zhao Fusheng said slowly, looking at Sean Parker.

If he remembered correctly, the current Sean Parker was not as relaxed and carefree as he appeared on the surface. He had just been driven out of the company he founded by Redpoint Ventures and was at a low point in his life. Since he could see Facebook's potential, it showed that he actually wanted to join this team.

Sean Parker looked at Zhao Fusheng, didn't deny it, shrugged, and nodded: "Yes, but I think it's not a problem. There won't be trouble soon."

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Alright, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."

No one knew what changed with this meeting in the small restaurant today.
