雅虎欲10 亿美元收购 Facebook，扎克伯格说不知道如何处理这笔钱

When Yahoo offered to buy Facebook for $1 billion in 2006, Mark Zuckerberg said he wouldn't know what to do with the money, according to a new book about the social-media giant.根据一本关于​​这家社交媒体巨头的新书，当雅虎在 2006 年提出以 10 亿美元收购 Facebook 时，马克·扎克伯格说他不知道如何处理这笔钱。

Facebook board members and advisors told Zuckerberg he could potentially walk away with half of the $1 billion offer and do whatever he wanted, The New York Times journalists Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang wrote in their new book, "An Ugly Truth," which came out Tuesday.《纽约时报》记者 Sheera Frenkel 和 Cecilia Kang 在他们的新书《丑陋的真相》中写道，Facebook 董事会成员和顾问告诉扎克伯格，他可以拿走 10 亿美元报价的一半，然后做任何他想做的事。

But one month after Yahoo's offer, Zuckerberg told Facebook board member Peter Thiel and venture capitalist Jim Breyer that he wouldn't know what he'd do with the money — and that if he accepted, he'd probably just create another social-media platform similar to Facebook.但在雅虎提出要约一个月后，扎克伯格告诉 Facebook 董事会成员彼得·泰尔和风险投资家吉姆·布雷耶，他不知道他会用这笔钱做什么——如果他接受了，他可能只会创建另一个类似于 Facebook 平台的社交媒体。

On top of this, Zuckerberg thought Facebook could get much bigger, according to the book.这本书声称，最重要的是扎克伯格认为 Facebook 可以变得更强大。

Authors Frenkel and Kang conducted more than 1,000 hours of interviews with Facebook executives, current and former employees, advisers, and others, according to a CNN report.据 CNN 报道，此书作者 Frenkel 和 Kang 对 Facebook 高管、现任和前任员工、顾问和其他人进行了 1000 多个小时的采访。

Many companies, including Friendster, Google, Viacom, MySpace, and News Corp, wanted to buy Facebook between 2004 and 2007. The biggest was Yahoo's offer in June 2006, worth $1 billion.在 2004 年到 2007 年之间，许多公司包括 Friendster、谷歌、维亚康姆、MySpace 和新闻集团都想收购 Facebook。最大的一次是雅虎在 2006 年 6 月，出价达10 亿美元。

Facebook employees told Zuckerberg at the time that he should agree to Yahoo's deal, the book said.该书称，Facebook 员工当时告诉扎克伯格，他应该同意雅虎的交易。

After Zuckerberg turned the offer down, his entire management team left in protest, according to the book.书中写到，扎克伯格拒绝了这个提议后，他的整个管理团队纷纷离开以示抗议。

"The part that was painful wasn't turning down the offer. It was the fact that after that, huge amounts of the company quit because they didn't believe in what we were doing," Zuckerberg said after rejecting Yahoo's deal, according to accounts in the book.扎克伯格在拒绝雅虎的交易后表示，“痛苦的部分不在于拒绝这个提议。事实上，在那之后，公司的大量员工退出了，因为他们不相信我们在做什么。” 书中评价到。

"An Ugly Truth" also revealed that Zuckerberg was shocked when he learned the Russian government had infiltrated Facebook during the 2016 election. "Oh f---, how did we miss this?" he said during a security brief, cited in the book.《丑陋的真相》还透露，扎克伯格在 2016 年大选期间得知俄罗斯政府渗透 Facebook 时感到震惊。 “哦，该死的——，我们怎么会错过这个？” 他在书中引用的安全简报中说。
