The seven-day boutique book festival reaches its peak on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and then falls back, just like the waves, with ebb and flow.
Although sales are not as sharp and exciting as Double Eleven, what is needed is a heavy sword without an edge, a steady flow of water, burning 30 million, and returning 1.022 billion.
b2c accounts for 30% and c2c accounts for 70%.
Not only did they not lose money, but they also made a small profit. In addition to red envelope rewards and lottery activities, Feigou.com specially ordered dinner and supper from Pizza Hut and KFC to reward all employees who worked overtime.
"Suck, suck, suck~"
Lu Fei drank a lot of Coke and finally had time to deal with the emails piling up in his mailbox. Li Yinxin sent Christmas congratulations, but Li Fuzhen just brushed it off and never mentioned Samsung Electronics.
Every word is Line.
With the help of "Farm", the number of registered users has exceeded 1.8 million. According to this trend, 8 million U.S. dollars will be burned for up to 2 years, relying only on the paid props of "Farm", which is a drop in the bucket.
However, this is all in Master Lu's plan.
As soon as the internal beta of "Audition" ended, it was launched on Bangzi. It is truly a game for everyone. It is as popular as LOL. The traffic and flow are enough to feed back to Line, and the connection is smooth and seamless.
"Crackling."
Lu Fei typed on the keyboard to reply, telling Li Fuzhen to fight for the agency rights for the Korean server of "World of Warcraft", and then continued to scroll down and clear out a pile of garbage.
In the vast sea of letters, I suddenly found a letter asking for the price of Facebook. It had no name and only an email address. It was impossible to tell whether it was Zuckerberg.
"I have more than 20 domain names like this. How many do you want to buy?"
Short emails are sent back to the mailbox quickly.
"Here he comes, he comes, he replied!"
Zuckerberg sat in front of the computer and waited for a long time. When he saw the reply, he felt refreshed and immediately replied:
"Just one, I just want Facebook, how much does it cost?"
"$200,000."
Lu Feishi opened his mouth widely, it was purely a test. If he retreated despite the difficulties, the buyer would definitely not be Zuckerberg.
"Fuxk, this guy is crazy!"
When Eduardo saw the price, he immediately backed down.
Even though Zuckerberg was prepared to be ripped off, he was still taken aback, "200,000 is outrageous. Can I sell it for 3,000?"
Lu Fei was not dissatisfied because of the low price. On the contrary, he was looking forward to it more and more, but still refused. He explained that he also spent US$160,000 on this domain name and received it from another company at a high price.
What's more, if you sell one domain name, the remaining domain names with the same name will be worthless, so buy one and get the remaining 20 or so for free.
"Is he sure he comes from the east, not Israel?"
Eduardo said with a dark face, "Why is it more Jewish than a Jew? Mark, forget it, we can't afford it."
Zuckerberg gritted his teeth and said, "More than 20 domain names, 200,000 U.S. dollars, one domain name, one price, I will pay 10,000. This price has exceeded 90% of the transaction records. If you don't agree, I will take it down."
"You want this domain name so much, do you want to start a business?"
Lu Fei got an affirmative answer from the other party and asked along the pole, rambling here and there. He was 70% sure that he was Zuckerberg.
Eduardo rubbed his mouth, "Why is he asking so many questions? If you want to sell it, sell it. If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. If you talk so much, you definitely don't want to sell it."
Zuckerberg also lost patience, but suddenly saw an idea clearly written in the email about a zero-yuan purchase——
Convert it into equity and invest in Facebook!
"Widowed Ubichi!"
Eduardo cursed when he saw the first line, but when he looked down, his mouth opened wider and wider, and he couldn't help but said: "Oh my God, he is actually a venture capitalist? He also specializes in investing in the Internet!"
Coincidence?
Zuckerberg couldn't control so much, so he seized the opportunity to introduce Facebook's general framework and operating ideas. He just wished that the interview was not in person and typing was time-consuming and laborious.
Seeing the reply, which was long and eloquent, Lu Fei was 100% convinced that the buyer was Zuckerberg, and raised a smirk on his lips.
nnd, I finally caught you!
The reason why I registered the domain name but didn’t do it was because there was nothing else I could do. Will the United States let Mr. Lu control Facebook?
What's more, Internet companies are product-oriented, but products are not everything. They require various talents in technology, marketing, and operations. The most important thing is founders.
Different founders will inject different genes into the company. Like Apple, without Steve Jobs, there will be no soul. iPhone14, what the hell!
Similarly, without Zuckerberg, Facebook will definitely not be the same as it was in its previous life.
"Oooh! Ooooh!"
When Zuckerberg saw Lu Fei's reply that he was willing to invest, he jumped up from his chair and murmured: "I did it, I did it..."
"Mark, we did it! We did it!"
Eduardo gave him a firm hug, and his face was flushed with excitement. He originally bought a domain name, but he didn't expect that he would get lucky and suddenly hit the angel wheel that others can't find.
In an instant, the entire dormitory was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, let's not worry about being happy."
Eduardo rubbed his hands: "Think quickly how much we need to raise? What price should we quote?"
"I've thought about it for a long time, 10%, $500,000."
Zuckerberg didn't think much and immediately sent out the email arbitrarily, which immediately aroused Eduardo's dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Mark, why did you post it without consulting me? There's a big problem here, you know!"
"what is the problem?"
"This investor has said that these Facebook domain names will be converted into US$200,000, which is 4% of the equity. We may only get 300,000 in cash."
"So, we have to invite him out and talk to him. If he wants to invest in Facebook, he must give me the domain name for free."
Zuckerberg raised his chin and said, “Otherwise, there’s no need to talk.”
At this moment, the speaker sounded, and Lu Fei replied:
"10% of the equity is too small, at least 20%. If you agree, we will talk in person. You decide the location and I will decide the time."
Eduardo rubbed his mouth, "Mark, what do you think? There's no problem with me, we'll decide on the location..."
"No! 20% is too much."
Zuckerberg could feel an invisible aura oppressing him through the letters, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Not much, not much at all. That's it for Angel Wheel. As long as the conditions he gives are enough, I don't have any objections!"
Eduardo's words made Zuckerberg frown. The two seemed to be born with different personalities and always had different ideas.
He did not reply immediately, but used the excuse of preventing fraud to ask Lu Fei for information, such as his company, honorific title...
"You can call me 'Lu'." Lu Fei wrote lightly.
"Lu? Monkey Lei Sheite, is it Huaxia Lu!"
Zuckerberg had goosebumps all over his body, all worries were thrown away, and he immediately agreed.
"Then we have made an appointment. I will definitely give you a surprise in three days."
Lu Fei stretched, dialed Xu Xin on his landline, and asked her to come to the United States with him. This time, he was investing in Facebook in the name of private equity. He needed a reliable and professional team.
Xu Xin promised to allocate talents and build a team for the North American branch of the private equity fund.
After agreeing on the time, Lu Fei looked up at the stars. It was getting late. He took out the small box from the drawer and left the building calmly.
He drove to the Diplomatic Apartment and picked up Gao Yuanyuan.
Because Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are the busiest, the two had to miss the holidays, and now they have to make up for it.
As soon as Gao Yuanyuan took her seat, she took out a box wrapped in colored paper from the bag. You could easily guess it was clothes by looking at the size.
Lu Fei deliberately pretended that he couldn't guess it and started to tear it apart.
"No, we can't dismantle it now. We have to go home."
Gao Yuanyuan stretched out her hand to stop him, looking mysterious.
"What's inside?" Lu Fei was curious.
"Surprise, it's not a surprise if you say it." Gao Yuanyuan waved her hand, "Where is my Christmas gift?"
"It's a secret, let's talk about it when we get home."
Lu Fei raised his lips and shouted to Huaqing Jiayuan.
Along the way, Gao Yuanyuan wondered why she was there. When the door opened, she suddenly realized that what came into view was her favorite sea of peonies.
Potted plants are piled up into clusters of flowers, white, pink, red, purple, and colorful. It is obviously the winter when they should wither, but peonies are blooming out of season.
"Are you surprised? Are you happy?"
Lu Fei clapped his hands. There was nothing that money couldn't do. If there was, it was because there wasn't enough money.
"Uh huh huh..."
Gao Yuanyuan was so moved that she couldn't speak and nodded desperately.
"It's not over yet, please wait for me.
Lu Fei swooped into the bedroom, and within a short while, wearing a Santa hat and a bright red Santa suit, he spun around a few times and appeared funny and handsome.
"Clang!"
Then he knelt down on one knee and presented the gift with both hands.
Could it be, could it be...
When Gao Yuanyuan saw the small box and the 5.53-carat pear-shaped DIF-grade diamond contained in the box, her face instantly turned red and her heart was pounding.
"Miss Gao!"
Lu Fei grabbed her right hand and slowly put it on her middle finger.
Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth with her left hand, tears welling up in her eyes, so choked up that she could not speak, and her head went blank.
"like or not?"
Lu Fei's face was sincere, with a hint of guilt. Zeng Li, Li Fuzhen, and Li Yinxin were reluctant to give up any relationship, but fraternity belongs to fraternity. He is the sun, and Gao Yuanyuan is the moon, and will always be his white moonlight!
Gao Yuanyuan nodded vigorously and shed tears. Although it was not the middle finger of her left hand, it was not a proposal.
Lu Fei stood up, took out a tissue, and while wiping her tears, he grabbed her left hand, "This is the hand that should be used next time. 5 carats is too small to deserve it."
Gao Yuanyuan was moved, and without saying a word, she opened her arms, hugged the man's neck, and snuggled into his arms.
"Are you surprised? Are you happy?"
"H-Happy."
"Now, as a human being, the most important thing is to be happy."
"Pfft~"
Gao Yuanyuan was amused by the broken Cantonese and burst into tears, smiling softly and brightly.
"Miss Gao, what did you give me?"
Lu Fei tore open the package and slowly opened it, and was startled when he found that it turned out to be a set of Santa Claus clothes.
"This, this is not for you to wear."
Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head in shame.
"Who should I wear it for?" Lu Fei wondered.
"This is women's clothing, of course I wear it."
Gao Yuanyuan snatched the box away, ran to the bedroom and stuck out half of her head: "A Fei, I will give you a Santa Claus, do you want it?"
"Gulu, I want it! Black stockings or white stockings?"
Lu Fei's eyes were stunned and he smiled.
If there is a Santa Claus, there must be no Mrs. Claus?
Tonight, the old driver is not driving a car, but riding an elk.
