00:00 00:00 I want to talk for a second about low points because I think people never 我想谈谈低点，因为我认为人们永远不会 appreciate how bad they really are and I think it's always reassuring to hear 理解他们到底有多糟糕，我认为听到这些总是让人安心 that even Mark Zuckerberg went through some serious low points and came out 甚至马克·扎克伯格也经历了一些严重的低谷并走出了困境 okay so can you tell us about some of the hardest parts in history of the 好的，你能告诉我们历史上一些最困难的部分吗？ early history of Facebook yeah I think one of the hardest parts for me was was Facebook 的早期历史 是的，我认为对我来说最困难的部分之一是 actually when Yahoo offered to buy the company for for a lot of money because 事实上，当雅虎提出以高价收购该公司时，因为 up until that point that was this turning point in the company where 直到那时，这就是公司的转折点 before that we every day we just come in and kind of do what we thought was the 在那之前我们每天都会进来做我们认为应该做的事情 right next thing to do right we'd open two more schools we we open to high 下一步要做的事情是我们会再开两所我们向高中开放的学校 school and open beyond schools and you know launch more photos so because 学校和学校以外的地方开放，你知道要发布更多照片，因为 because that's what it seemed like the next thing that that we needed to do to 因为这似乎就是我们接下来需要做的事情 help people express themselves and understand more what was going on around 帮助人们表达自己并更多地了解周围发生的事情 them but then no yahoo came in with this with this really meaningful offer right 他们但是没有雅虎进来提供这个真正有意义的报价 00:01 00:01 even a billion dollars for us was how far into the company I was a couple of 即使是十亿美元对我们来说也是我进入公司的程度 years ago right and you know we have 10 million people using the product at the 几年前，你知道我们有 1000 万人在使用该产品 time right so it wasn't like it wasn't as if it were obvious that we were gonna 时间正好，所以这并不是很明显我们要 succeed far beyond that and that was the first point where we really had to to 取得的成功远远超出了这一点，这是我们真正必须做到的第一点 look at the future and say wow is what we're gonna build going to actually be 展望未来，我们要打造的东西真的会是这样 so much more meaningful for this and you know that caused a lot of interesting 对此更有意义，你知道这引起了很多有趣的事情 conversations in the company and and with our investors and 公司内部以及与投资者的对话 you know at the end of that Dustin and I had just decided you know no we think 你知道，在最后，达斯汀和我刚刚决定，你知道，不，我们认为 that we can actually go connect more than just the 10 million people who are 我们实际上可以连接的不仅仅是 1000 万人 in schools we can go beyond that and have this really be a successful thing 在学校，我们可以超越这一点，让这真正成为一件成功的事情 and we just had to go for it but it was really stressful because a lot of people 我们不得不努力，但这真的很有压力，因为很多人 really thought that we should sell the company and and you know for a lot of 真的认为我们应该卖掉公司，而且你知道很多 folks who joined a start-up I feel like at that point I hadn't been very good 那些加入初创公司的人 我觉得那时我表现得不太好 about communicating that we were trying to go for this mission yeah you know we 关于传达我们正在努力执行这项任务是的，你知道我们 00:02 00:02 just showed up every day and yeah and just kind of did what we thought was the 只是每天都出现，是的，只是做了我们认为的事情 the right next thing to do so for a lot of the folks who joined 对于很多加入的人来说，下一步要做的就是正确的事情 early on that there weren't really aligned with me right for them you know 早些时候，我并没有真正与他们保持一致，你知道的 they joined and you know being able to sell a company for a billion dollars 他们加入了，你知道能够以十亿美元的价格出售一家公司 after a couple years I was like a home run right and it is a home run right 几年后我就像一个全垒打，这是一个全垒打 then and that's you know I think that that's um I get that but you know that I 然后你知道我想那就是，我明白，但你知道我 think that the fact that I didn't communicate very well about what we were 认为我没有很好地沟通我们的情况 trying to do cause cause this huge tension and the part that was painful 试图做导致这种巨大紧张和痛苦的部分 wasn't wasn't turning down the offer it was the fact that after that a huge 不是拒绝这个提议，而是事实是，在那之后，一个巨大的 amounts of the company quit because I didn't believe in and what we were what 公司的很多人退出是因为我不相信我们是什么 we were doing right am if you look at the management team that we had did that 如果你看看我们的管理团队，我们做得对 hello management team leave the whole management team who was gone within 你好，管理团队离开整个管理团队，他们已经消失了 within about a year after that did you ever regret that decision 在那之后大约一年内，你后悔过这个决定吗？ in that period like where there are times where you were like well we should 在那个时期，就像有时你表现得很好，我们应该 have sold um you know we were I was I got really lucky because you know not 已经卖了，你知道我们是我，我真的很幸运，因为你不知道 only did did what I believed in end up working out but it ended up working out 只做了我相信的事情最终成功了但它最终成功了 00:03 00:03 pretty quickly right so it literally you know I think this was in the summer of 很快，所以从字面上看，你知道我认为这是在夏天 2006 and by I think the the next month after that we launched news feed right 2006 年，我想在那之后的下个月我们就推出了新闻推送 which now ten years later looking back at it is you know one of the most used 十年后回顾它，你知道它是最常用的之一 products in the world and then we launched the ability for anyone to sign 世界各地的产品，然后我们推出了任何人都可以签名的功能 up which immediately started growing the community so within a few months after 立即开始发展社区，所以在几个月后 turning down the offer I think it was actually pretty clear that that was the 拒绝这个提议 我认为实际上很明显那就是 right decision but you know I think you know since then there have been much 正确的决定，但你知道，我想你知道，从那时起，发生了很多事情 harder to say that we've had to make where you know sometimes you have to you 很难说我们必须做出你知道有时你必须做的事情 have to bet on something and and you know either 必须赌某事，而你知道 you know bet the direction of the company or you know bet billions of 你知道押注公司的方向，或者你知道押注数十亿美元 dollars on something it's not gonna be clear with you're right for five or ten 花五美元或十美元买一些你不清楚的东西 years and you know that I think actually can end up being much harder than this 多年，你知道我认为实际上最终会比这困难得多 what I want to talk about next but before we go there have you ever thought 接下来我想谈什么，但在我们去之前你有没有想过 about selling the company again since no after that pour em is just ya got that 关于再次出售公司，因为在那之后，你就明白了 out of the way we'll get our people that 我们会让我们的员工 00:04 00:04 want to be here for a long time and yeah cool you 想在这里待很长时间，是的，你很酷
