... The Internet in the Republic of Qi was a trendsetter. China's internet was no exception, and it was inevitably influenced by Facebook during Suen Cun's time in the future. In that era, the development of online warfare was thriving, and the model where internet giants carved out territories and became dominant players was also adopted by Chinese websites.

Parking ticketing apps, virtual farming games like FarmVille, and fishing games quickly gained popularity in China. Networks such as Renren (similar to Facebook), Kaixin (another social network), Ah Kaixing Nongchang (Happy Farms), and Zhubajie (a virtual world) also rose to fame.

However, in this zero-zero year American college town where there was no concept of waking up at three in the morning to "steal vegetables," two people were weaving a future for themselves.

"The rhythm of our social life is mainly set by dormitories, classes, and neighboring dorms. Cell phones are banned on campus, and students have to move into new dorms after one year, so our student directory will become the most crucial part. Do you know that this directory will be the most useful platform for us in terms of socializing" Zuckerberg laid a yearbook on Suen Cun's desk.

This yearbook contained photos and brief introductions of all the students in the college, allowing one to find and contact their peers. It was an ancient tradition at Exeter Academy; students used this school-issued directory to check where their peers lived, who were popular figures on campus, who roomed with whom, and so on.

As Zuckerberg laid down the yearbook on Suen Cun's desk, he kept flipping through some materials in his bookcase, still paying attention to Suen Cun’s mood. "You know that I got press coverage for writing a plugin for Microsoft's player software, which is how you found out my name. Last year, the student union successfully lobbied the administration department to upload all content from the directory online, and this is where you looked up my email address. Do you know what kind of feeling you give me"

"Perhaps you might think that I’m overly perceptive," Suen Cun said.

Zuckerberg spoke earnestly and passionately, "You're like a wolf, a tenacious wolf eager to hunt."

“But you, Zuckerberg, are not prey. I am merely looking for friends who want to collaborate with me. In our country, it’s basically very difficult at my age; there are many limiting factors and the timing isn’t right either. Seeing your reports made me realize that actually, we’re a kind of people—born strategists like in the games you play,” Suen Cun admitted his shamelessness.

The four-hour battle of wits between the two individuals from different backgrounds, worlds, and races brought them closer together. Just as hypnosis can only be effective under specific circumstances, Suen Cun’s skillful manipulation was also most effective at this critical juncture.

For Zuckerberg, he possessed a spirit of the American Dream ingrained in him since childhood. Born into an affluent family and possessing great creativity, he was a hacker who represented hidden destructive desires and conquests. However, he also had the typical adolescent trait of jealousy at his young age, feeling somewhat indignant that Suen Cun excelled over him.

So Suen Cun needed to defeat this guy fundamentally before offering him an incentive. At this stage in life, he was precisely in need of companions and even a guide. If it were four years later when Zuckerberg would be founding Facebook, Suen Cun believed that it might already be very difficult for them to meet, let alone engage in such stimulating conversations.

"How do you know Microsoft would hire me with a high salary That's quite unlikely," Zack frowned and waved his hands.

Su Cen said, "Because if I were the CEO of Microsoft, Bill Gates, I would definitely hire someone like you."

A look of gratitude flashed in Zack’s eyes, followed by excitement, but then he became disheartened. "I saw your shot on the court; it was incredible, something I can't achieve. Those girls might not even clap for me."

Zack pouted. "You know, you're exceptionally talented. From our emails, I could sense that. Why do you have so many ideas That surprises me."

Su Cen walked to the window and faced outside. "Whether someone claps for you on today's court isn't important; what matters is whether people will clap for you in future stages of life."

If you're just an ordinary employee, none of this would work out. Sometimes I wake up from a dream feeling regretful about wasting time. You need a trigger to do something and strive toward your ideals. We have the same goals, don't we

Su Cen’s advantage with his two lives’ worth of experience, along with knowledge from the future, meant that he had already completely captured 17-year-old Zack's mind. Every sentence Su Cen spoke almost guaranteed that Zack couldn’t resist the temptation.

"So today I’m bringing more than just ideas; we’re taking our first step forward. Someone has registered a company on my behalf, as discussed earlier. On the surface, this is merely talk, something only existing on paper. If it’s not put into action, everything will be for nothing."

"Company" Zack stared blankly at Su Cen, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Vision! Decision-making!"

“Yes, a company is the most attractive thing to someone like you from a wealthy family in Westchester County north of New York City. It’s their dream since childhood, nurtured by American fathers reading 'The Godfather' to their kids before bedtime—to fight for their own businesses; that's very ‘macho’!"

Su Cen felt his mouth dry up but was glad he'd reached the stage of guiding and persuading him. From Mark Zuckerberg’s expression, it was clear he wouldn’t be moved away from this.

Zuckerberg was a person with great imagination and decision-making capability; only age had restrained these qualities within him. All Su Cen needed to do was to ripen the hidden potential in his heart. If there were geniuses like Gates, Zuckerberg was another one right in front of him.

“And you should know that integrating all students from Exeter Academy isn’t just about connecting high schools across America; it’s also about universities! Why can't we rule and conquer them”

This is an incredible network. With the nodes radiating out, Su Can's remarks will also influence the world at this moment.

"Imagine having a hall of fame for celebrities at Exeter College. But what if our platform had halls of fame from schools all over the world They could easily look up famous people from their own school and chat with these usually unreachable celebrities! Why not do it"

Zuck's eyes lit up, "Like George Plimpton and Busta Rhymes!"

Su Can was momentarily stunned. "Yes, exactly like that." Although he didn't care whether they were cats or dogs.

"More importantly, regardless of who these people are—whether it's Prince Harry, his girlfriend, or a prince from Saudi Arabia—you can truly see their private information without any reservations. Isn't this the coolest thing in the world"

Zuck was dumbfounded for quite some time before breaking into a wide grin with a lecherous look in his eyes, "Exactly like that."

Su Can could easily understand Zuck's thoughts about probing privacy. This was also the greatest inner desire of being a hacker.

"Then we should establish this company. It should be called [Facebook]. If you join, I'll give you 55% equity and you will be in charge of actual management and execution as well as the largest shareholder."

Zuck nodded vigorously after being stunned for quite some time.

If a seventeen-year-old boy truly understands something, it's that he knows what Su Can has given him: freedom, respect, and more than he ever deserved, such as guidance and support toward the American Dream.

Su Can gave Mark Zuckerberg 55% controlling equity to consider the future. After this platform becomes America's number one community website, it will encompass millions of high school and college students' information across America.

Having such critical strategic value in America's future under his control as a Chinese person would likely prevent this website from continuing its expansion in America.

Exiting the dormitory, he met Tang Wu who had watched the demonstration at the observatory. Underneath the Exeter College forest, the team members Auggie and Potter whom she encountered on the field along with several other boys and girls were trying to talk to her.

Su Can greeted them as they approached, and the one called Aiguo complimented Su Can for a moment. However, Zack clearly wasn't one of the school's popular figures; he was not very famous or known among students, so they didn’t greet him.

Seeing their intention to leave together, others tactfully bid farewell.

Outside at a French restaurant, Zack finally shook hands with Tang Wu and said, "Welcome to Exeter College. I'm sorry for your first impression of this place."

"No problem, I actually like it here," Tang Wu smiled. The tranquil environment outside the school indeed charmed her, contrasting sharply with the noisy domestic campus she was used to.

Of course, there was Su Can's presence, making her feel secure and at ease.

Tang Wu thought for a moment before asking, "What did you guys talk about in your dorm"

"A plan. A great plan," replied Zack, who had been eating heartily with his head down and now looked mysteriously at Tang Wu as he lifted his head.

Tang Wu glanced questioningly at Su Can, wanting to remind him that it's not easy for three people to simultaneously become freshmen of the entire Exeter College. Besides, everyone in the college knew that after enrollment, he joined the most ridiculous secret club "Dungeons and Dragons" (Dragon and Underground City) performance game, which was caught by the disciplinary teachers.

This incident left Rongcheng No.27 High School in China dumbfounded with a sudden pain.

Wang Weiwei must have been laughing his head off behind the scenes.

Time passed quickly in America, and the first month flew by without notice.
