Zuckerberg visits China, and Facebook has quietly begun to strategize its presence in the Greater China region

News about Tsinghua University quickly spread beyond the campus. Mark Zuckerberg's visit to China has prompted reporters to rush to Tsinghua University. After all, Zuckerberg is not only young but also a super-rich individual and the founder of a global giant company. The sudden arrival of such a highly influential figure must signify major news, which is the first thought that crosses every reporter's mind. It is worth noting that there have been continuous reports about Facebook's return to China recently.

It is important to note that Zuckerberg is a world-renowned figure, a social media giant, and a super-rich individual

"xlous? Let me think. " The school leader was silent for a moment, and soon a piece of information surfaced in his mind. He looked at Xiao Za and said: "I remember now, this company was just founded not long ago by a university student from our school. Recently, a product launched by xlous has been quite popular at the school, what was it called? Oh, right, it should be called Instant Online Translation."

Mark Zuckerberg appears in Beijing, is Facebook about to return to China?

The manner in which the school leaders were commanding made Zha and Tushuke Boge feel uncomfortable. In order to show respect for each other and express his sincerity, he decided to personally seek out Ren Hong

"Not at all! Not at all! Hehe, Mr. Zuckerberg's Chinese surprises me," said the school leader with a smile.

Hello everyone! Mark Zuckerberg walked down the street, warmly waving to the students and greeting them in Chinese

In a short period, major media outlets reported this news, and the information regarding Mark Zuckerberg's visit to China quickly spread across the internet and reached foreign countries

Mr. Zuckerberg, this way please!" the school leadership indicated.

I am breathing a bit rapidly

"35 billion!" Ren Hong said淡淡地. In Room 317, Zhang Han and others perked up their ears. Upon hearing 35 billion, each person felt their heart race.

After all, this is a nationally renowned institution of higher learning, and the students are very self-disciplined, which has not caused any chaos. However, the campus forum has exploded, with the homepage basically filled with posts about Zuckerberg's visit.

In the corridor, the head of Sequoia Capital and Li Taosheng, among others, were slightly surprised when they heard the figure of 35 billion, yet it was within reason; their insight could not overlook the value within. However, the mention of the last dollar left them momentarily stunned

The sudden visit of Mark Zuckerberg to China surprised many. Such a highly influential figure, every move they make is subject to external interpretation and scrutiny, often even to the point of excessive interpretation. Clearly, such a giant taking such an action cannot be regarded as a simple behavior.

In the parking lot, individuals began to step down from the luxury sedan. A tall and strong black bodyguard opened the car door, and then a young man dressed in a gray T-shirt emerged from within.

So cool!

The news of Zuckerberg's sudden visit to Tsinghua University in Beijing spread like wildfire across the campus, making the entire university remarkably lively once again after Jack Ma's departure

I dare to swear by your little brother that this is definitely Zuckerberg

The school leaders were very surprised upon hearing this; clearly, the fact that Zuckerberg was so eager indicates that the instant online translation developed by this student is an impressive product

Oh! xlous? The school leaders were taken aback, as it turned out that Zuckerberg's visit was for a startup company

The renowned social networking giant, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, made a surprising appearance at Tsinghua University - "Sina News Flash"

Contact information? No problem, I will notify him to come over immediately, the school leader thought for a moment and said as a matter of course

Shortly after Zuckerberg's unexpected visit, the media promptly released a brief news report.

Little Zha is waving at me He is smiling at me

"I apologize for the trouble caused to your esteemed institution due to my hasty arrival," Zuckerberg said with a smile as he shook hands.

What is Mr. Ren's valuation of the company? said the head of Sequoia Capital

Although the students were surprised by Zuckerberg's unexpected visit, they did not rush forward to take photos or ask for autographs, nor did they form a crowd to watch. Each person simply stood in place, astonished, and then watched as he walked away.

There is no way around it; as soon as Zuckerberg laid eyes on the instant online translation tool, he became anxious. This is an application that could take Facebook to the next level, but it is also one that poses a lethal threat to Facebook. He believes that his competitors must share the same sentiment, so how could he not be anxious? From the moment he learned about this application, he could not find peace until it was finalized.

In the school's reception room, Zuckerberg and the school leaders are in discussion. Foreigners indeed do not like to beat around the bush. Young Zuckerberg immediately said: "Sir, I have heard that there is a startup company named xlous at your school. Could you please tell me where this company is located? Thank you very much."

The students on campus were all astonished upon seeing this. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and one of the world's top billionaires, is a name that almost every Tsinghua student knows. Zuckerberg was once hailed by the Chinese as the Jack Ma of America. Even in China, he has a multitude of admirers.

Zuckerberg spoke in Chinese, and although there were some variations in pronunciation, the listeners were able to understand him. Throughout the journey, he presented a friendly and approachable demeanor, showing no trace of the arrogance typically associated with a billionaire

"U.S. dollars!" Ren Hong emphasized

Not long after, Zuckerberg walked towards Building 003 of the North Sports Complex accompanied by the school leaders

"Shut up! Keep it down, it's not the first time I've heard this, just keep listening," Zhang Han said irritably

What is Little Zha trying to do? Students in the school took out their phones to record videos or take photos upon witnessing this scene

Brothers, 35 billion US dollars, did you hear that?" Chen Kai said excitedly

Ren Hong met with both parties again, but xlous currently does not have a formal office address or meeting room, so the location for this meeting can only be in the corridor. Fortunately, this teaching building is no longer in use, and only they exist here. However, the people present do not care about the environmental issues. Clearly, Ren Hong is in a superior position; at this moment, capital is seeking him, rather than him seeking capital. This is very important as it determines who is the dominant party in the negotiations between both sides.

Don't tell me that the person getting out of the car is Zuckerberg

Yes. Zuckerberg replied repeatedly: "Could you please provide me with the contact information of the founder of xlous?"

Mr. Zuckerberg, what brings you here unexpectedly? You should have at least notified the school so that we could make the necessary preparations

"No, no, no! You said his company's office is at the school, I want to go there in person to meet him," Zuckerberg said hastily

Heavens, did little Zha suddenly come to Tsinghua? Why was there no news at all

At this moment, in the corridor of Classroom 317, the individuals from Sequoia Capital and IDG Technology Venture Fund are glaring at each other, as the saying goes, colleagues are nothing more than rivals.

"Is that true? Thank you so much for your affirmation," Zuckerberg said with a look of surprise and a smile
