Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

When Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was twenty, he was just an ordinary college student.

When Buffett was twenty, he didn’t even have ten thousand US dollars to his name.

When Microsoft’s Bill Gates was twenty, he had just sold the timetable system he wrote, with a net worth of tens of thousands of US dollars at most.

Even Zuckerberg, considered a North American business genius, only managed to take Facebook public at the age of twenty-eight. With his 28.4% stake, he instantly became a mega-billionaire with a net worth of nearly 30 billion US dollars.

But now, someone at the age of twenty actually owned three super unicorn companies (valued at over 10 billion US dollars) and three unicorn companies (valued at over 1 billion US dollars), with a personal paper wealth as high as 50 billion US dollars.

At first, netizens in the Lighthouse Country just assumed it was fake news, but after doing some research, they fell silent.

After all, the Alexa Smart Speaker they used was from Orange Technology. The gadget was a huge bestseller in the European and American Markets, and that couldn’t be faked.

After *Time* magazine noticed this trending news story, they gave it a moment’s thought and immediately assigned staff from their Hu City Branch to travel to Xucheng and interview Chen Yansen.

Furthermore, the related report would be published in the American edition of *Time*, directly targeting North American readers.

You have to understand, previously, entrepreneurs, sports celebrities, or international movie stars from Hua Country had mostly appeared on the Asian edition of *Time*, which didn’t have a strong international impact.

Just then, some wise guy ripped all of Chen Yansen’s photos from Weibo, squatted on his name for a Facebook account, and started posting updates in his name.

”Hello, friends in the Lighthouse Country! I’m Chen Yansen, the founder of Senlian Capital. It’s great to meet all of you. On October 31st, I will pick 1,000 winners from my followers, and each will receive a free Alexa Smart Speaker.”

In addition to the greeting, the post included several of Chen Yansen’s high-definition personal photos.

In an instant, it was like a huge boulder had been thrown into a calm lake!

The follower count for the ’Chen Yansen’ Facebook account skyrocketed at a rate of 1,000 to 2,000 per minute. After a single day, it had reached a staggering 1.9 million.

In reality, Zhou Shouzhi had set up an office in San Francisco to coordinate the North American sales channels for the Alexa Smart Speaker. After the local staff there verified the account with headquarters, they quickly received a denial.

When the news reached Zhou Shouzhi, he didn’t give it much thought and simply had his colleagues in the Lighthouse Country send a notice to Facebook’s customer service.

The next morning, when North American netizens woke up, they discovered that the ’Chen Yansen’ account had been banned.

The official reason given was that the user had improperly used another person’s information.

The implication was that this ’Chen Yansen’ was an imposter.

But a whole bunch of netizens were still waiting for the Halloween giveaway. Now that the free Smart Speakers were gone, they immediately turned their anger on Facebook’s founder.

”Zuckerberg was only worth over 20 billion US dollars at twenty-eight, a far cry from Chen Yansen. He must have been jealous, and that’s why he banned his account, right?”

Such a ridiculous reason shouldn’t have held any water, but people in the Lighthouse Country think differently. They filled in the blanks themselves and ’confirmed’ the speculation.

Although some netizens argued that Zuckerberg had no reason to ban Chen Yansen’s account, they were ignored.

When Zuckerberg attended an event, some reporters even rushed up to ask, ”Mr. Zuckerberg, did you personally order the ban on the Senlian Capital founder’s Facebook account?”

Zuckerberg looked completely baffled, having no idea what was going on. After his assistant explained the situation, he understood and said with a smile, ”That account was impersonating another individual. Facebook has always prioritized protecting our users’ privacy, so when we discovered it, we banned the account immediately.”

He didn’t mention that Senlian Capital had sent a notice; he just casually used the opportunity to promote his own product.

Although this was the truth, netizens in the Lighthouse Country still weren’t buying it and were determined to pin the blame on Zuckerberg.
