The person who has connected 800 million people around the world, perhaps now he feels that making friends is a little easier? Zuckerberg - his friends call him Zuck. He is not tall, slim, with thick brown curly hair and a face full of freckles, somewhat resembling the classic human figure in ancient Greek sculptures. Even in winter, he wears rubber sandals and a T-shirt with unexpected patterns or text, typical of a stereotypical geek. Last year, he bought a house and a private plane, but rarely uses them. "Our first goal after waking up in the morning is not to make money, but we know that the best way to accomplish our mission is to build the strongest and most valuable company. This is also why we went public; we went public for our investors and employees," Zuckerberg said in the letter. This company, which does not aim to make money, is about to earn a lot. According to a 28.4% shareholding ratio and Facebook's market valuation of $100 billion, 27-year-old Zuckerberg is worth $28.4 billion, ranking ninth on Forbes' 2011 Global Rich List, surpassing Li Ka-shing, and ranking behind Bill Gates and Buffett. The early investors of Facebook and Zuckerberg's entrepreneurial partners have also joined the billionaire club. Hughes, Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and McCollum are all co-founders of Facebook. Saverin's name was once erased from the co-founder page, but later it was added back. Finally, Facebook has reached the time for IPO, but none of the dormitory brothers who fought side by side with him are there to open champagne in the office. As of today, among Facebook's executives, Cheryl Sandberg (Sheryl Sandberg) has been with Zuckerberg the longest, but she only came to his side in 2008. This is a place where start-up companies are everywhere. The probability of an entrepreneur meeting a like-minded person in Palo Alto is quite high. In the summer of 2004, when Zuckerberg brought his partners out of Harvard to check out their newly rented studio here, they met Sean Parker, who was moving at the roadside. At that time, all Zuckerberg could think about was how to improve the various functions of the website. Although they had already established a company, they had no idea how to operate it. When he met Napster's founder Sean Parker, he almost couldn't wait to invite him to join Facebook. Parker was fully responsible for Facebook's restructuring in 2004 and officially became the site's first president. Not much different from what was depicted in "The Social Network", wine, food, women, art, and music are all part of Parker's personality. Hughes once tried to explain the real reason why Zuckerberg's friend Jialian left him three times. Facebook initially settled in No. 156 University Road outside Stanford University's campus. Now, its successor is a software company that helps the government track terrorists and criminals, one of whose founders is Peter Thiel, Facebook's earliest investor. The second office was not far away, just around the corner from the main gate of Stanford University, which is Zuckerberg's favorite bar, "Antonio's Nut Room." Next to the bar is the popular group-buying company Groupon. The building currently occupied was originally Sun's headquarters, not far from the garage where Google was born. As the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg last week released a public letter externally, making a detailed analysis of the company's IPO plan and listing the core values of the company. Zuckerberg said that the purpose of creating Facebook was not to become a company. Its birth was to practice a social mission: to make the world more open and more closely connected. There is a personality analysis result of Mark Zuckerberg's handwriting circulating on the Internet: "You are a shy, idealistic person, not easy to establish relationships with others, especially intimate ones." Dustin Moskovitz (Dustin Moskovitz), the first to help Zuckerberg promote Facebook in the university, later became a key leader of the technical team. He studied economics at Harvard University for two years, learned programming for Facebook on his own, accompanied Zuckerberg when he dropped out of Harvard, and moved Facebook to Palo Alto. In 2008, Moskovitz resigned from Facebook and started his own online software company, Asana. He owns 7.6% of Facebook's shares, worth $7.6 billion. Zuckerberg was very sad when he left. "Dustin always keeps Facebook's interests at heart, he is always someone I want to ask for advice," he said. We have lived authentically on this site for eight years. It records our preferences, achievements, joyful or embarrassing photos, the books we've read, the songs we've listened to, the people we've loved. Now, we are about to see how much our honesty is worth. The challenge of working with Zuckerberg He still maintains some habits from his youth, driving a cheap Honda car, fencing, being unkempt. In several press conferences that changed Facebook's fate, he faced the world in a T-shirt, jeans, and toe-exposing sandals, the same as in 2011 - this seems to have become a deliberately maintained symbol in the tech industry similar to Jobs'. In fact, he has become a real CEO, learning how to run an empire-like company, how to maturely answer the media, and how to be approachable in public. First-time millionaire club Facebook is eight years old. In January 2004, Zuckerberg paid $35 to Register.com to register the domain name thefacebook.com for one year. On the afternoon of February 4th, he clicked on a link to his account on Manage.com in his dormitory, and thus Facebook was launched. Zuckerberg applied for four login accounts from number one to four for himself (the first three were for testing). Number five was his Harvard roommate Chris Hughes, number six was his roommate Dustin Moskovitz, and number seven was Eduardo Saverin, a friend he met at a Jewish gathering. A friend of Zuckerberg's and also one of his classmates, Andrew McCollum, used Al Pacino's headshot found online as a template, covering it with the digits one and zero to design a logo. Because Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind, the page mainly adopted blue and white. Hughes, with his blonde hair, was very approachable and was the website's initial spokesperson. After graduating from Harvard with a degree in literary history in 2006, he gradually stepped away from Facebook and helped Obama campaign. He coordinated all of Obama's campaign activities on Facebook and was described by Obama as "the person who understands the internet around me." Now, he serves as a director of a Silicon Valley investment company and also founded a charity organization based on the concept of online communities called Jumo. Hughes owns 1% of Facebook's shares, valued at $1 billion. Andrew McCollum, a programming genius and Facebook's earliest graphic designer, once met with venture capitalists from Sequoia Capital wearing pajamas and a T-shirt with Zuckerberg, which is a classic scene in "The Social Network." He left Facebook in September 2006 and returned to Harvard to continue his studies. He is currently still in Silicon Valley, working as an angel investor. He is low-key and mysterious, with unknown shareholdings. Eduardo Saverin, Zuckerberg's original business partner, together invested $1000 in Facebook and later became Facebook's earliest financial officer. However, in the summer of 2004, the two had disagreements over the development direction of the site. In 2005, they even got into a legal dispute over money. Saverin also joined forces with their other two classmates, the Winklevoss brothers, to sue Zuckerberg, accusing him of fraud, while the latter believed that Zuckerberg stole their idea. This lawsuit also became the main subject of the movie "The Social Network." After the lawsuit, he owned 5% of the shares, and later according to his own statement, sold half of them on the secondary market. He now lives in Singapore and has also invested in some social networking companies. On February 1st, this social giant with 850 million users officially submitted its Initial Public Offering (IPO) application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after trading hours, planning to raise $5 billion, which is the largest technology company IPO in U.S. history. The company's valuation may reach as high as $100 billion. Facebook claims to have 840 million users, if this were a country, it would be the third most populous dense country after China and India. Its founder, 27-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, creates and dominates a new network society with the dream of operating an "empire without borders." As the formal public offering proceeds, he and his long-lost former entrepreneurial partners have all come to center stage. The idea of Facebook was born in Zuckerberg's dorm room at Harvard University's Kirkland House. There was a whiteboard over two meters long in the dorm room, which was Mark's favorite. This board was always filled with dazzling equations, symbols, and colorful lines. He often stared at this board, calculating against the whiteboard, or sitting at the computer on his desk, immersed in the calculations displayed on the screen. On one side of the room were piles of Red Bull and beer bottles that he hadn't thrown away.

Working with Zuckerberg is very challenging, you can never be sure if he likes what you do, and being friends with him is better than working with him," he said. Facebook's headquarters is located in Palo Alto, California, USA. This city with only 60,000 people is known as the center of Silicon Valley. The garages where Google and Apple were born, their current headquarters, and Yahoo!'s headquarters are all gathered in this small town. After Facebook moved from a dorm room at Harvard to a rented small house in Palo Alto, and then to the third office location, it still moves around within the small town. In every early office location of Facebook, the style of a university boys' dormitory continues: tables are messy with computers, cables, modems, cameras piled high, and amidst them are garbage and daily-use bottles, cans, and cups.
