Social barriers for founders of social networking sites

Robb 2022-03-20 09:01:11

I have had two experience of cooperating with people to start a business, and the results were all unhappy.

After the first cooperation withdrew, more than half a year later, the collaborator called me and said: My company now has millions of income. I heard that you don’t have a job yet. If you need money, just say it. Do you want me to lend it? You...
this ostentatious tone reminds me: At the beginning of the business, I squeezed a train to accompany him to run through eight provinces in two months, took hundreds of thousands of money, and organized 8 events, and finally only got 6,000 yuan. . I finally understood why all of them betrayed their relatives. It turned out that I was blind, so I sent a text message to him and said: From now on, let's break our friendship.

After the second cooperation withdrawal, I once completely lost trust in the "sales personality". But also because of this, a lot of things have been underestimated. Instead, it turned around.

Tacit business cooperation is too difficult. It is several times more difficult than finding a spouse:

Don’t think that the best friends in the
world can cooperate . How many good friends in the world are because of cooperation.
Don’t think that brothers and sisters can cooperate
. became strangers
do not think couples can cooperate
how many couples divorce because of the cooperation and the world

the same drawback of not cooperate
person of the same advantages can not cooperate
shortcomings can not match the advantages of cooperation
cooperation the success, in fact, did not even relationship Cons Pros
only In one word: Loyalty

A man finds it is not easy to remain loyal after he marries a woman, which means that he has to give up many women; only after a person cooperates with a person, he realizes that it is not easy to remain loyal, which means Give up a lot of money, or part of yourself.

The ideal partner should be someone who you can give him a back light.
No matter what kind of deep trust you have at the beginning, when you are faced with decision-making differences and disputes of interest, your back will start to send you back. It's cold

The founder of facebook is such a collaborator.
His first collaborator used to be his best friend and provided all the financial support at the beginning of his business, but the two eventually broke down due to differences in decision-making. What the lawsuit has to argue about is that Mark deliberately designed his friend to lure him into signing a contract to give up his shares when he is lax. Mark must have done it deliberately, because this CFO is of little use to him. So he has to reduce his 30% stake to 0.3%. When Facebook won 50w, it shredded the previous 19,000 in a blink of an eye. This is the youngest CEO in the world.

His second collaborator is full of passion and imagination, has excellent courage, and has provided a huge impetus for the development of Facebook, bringing venture capital and endless potential. Then, at a party, he was discredited for taking drugs and promiscuity with underage girls. The information in the film hints: Mark may have framed this friend because his arrogance and style will threaten the development of Facebook.

Making such a guess will inevitably make people feel that it is unfair to Mark, but no one can deny that Mark has a great defect in his personality. He cursed his ex-girlfriend as a bitch and compared women with poultry; he referred to other people's creativity but lied to hold back the opportunity; he dumped the friend who supported him most. Such a person is precisely a technical genius who created Facebook.

Of course, everyone in the world has enemies. Often, the more enemies a person has, the stronger the ability and the greater the success. However, the difference is whether the enemy makes us proud or ashamed. One thousand enemies who make you have a clear conscience, and one enemy you fail, which one do you choose?

Therefore, I hate the words on the English poster of this film: "You can't get 5 billion friends without turning some people into enemies." It’s ridiculous that the people on Facebook are not all friends of Mark’s classmates, just like Erika, which he flicked and swiped in the end, what we were looking for on Facebook was a friend worthy of being a friend.

Is Mark qualified? I hope he will be enough one day.
