Rebirth is now Jin Jingcheng's greatest advantage. From a certain perspective, it is even more significant than inheriting all the memories and talents of "that Jin Jingcheng."

Jin Jingcheng naturally would not waste this advantage and would make good use of it.

However, the utilization of this advantage is limited. Apart from the fields Jin Jingcheng was very familiar with in his previous life, it is often difficult to apply it to other areas. Because of unfamiliarity, he simply doesn't know many things. For example, in his previous life, he never bought lottery tickets and even despised them. In this life, if he wanted to become a millionaire by winning the lottery, it would be rather ridiculous.

The field Jin Jingcheng is most familiar with is the Korean entertainment industry, along with other cultural and entertainment aspects, and some business transactions.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Even in fields Jin Jingcheng is not familiar with, he can still find ways to utilize them.

For example, Facebook. Jin Jingcheng could not possibly be unaware of it, not only because it was the most famous social networking site in his previous life, but also because of its miraculous rise, including its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who, with his exceptional talent and opportunities, became the youngest single billionaire in the world in his previous life, and the youngest self-made billionaire in history.

However, now, Facebook has not yet appeared, and Mark Zuckerberg is still unhappily living in Harvard University, not yet formally starting his miraculous Facebook journey, and has not even dropped out of Harvard.

This is an opportunity for Jin Jingcheng, and it is the first goal he wants to seize.

He knows the importance of money. Even though his main plan for the future is in the Korean entertainment and entertainment industries, without a solid economic foundation, even as a reborn special existence, many of his ideals and ambitions cannot be realized.

But how to seize this opportunity?

Thinking about this, Jin Jingcheng suddenly turned around and glanced at Jose and Tony in the dormitory, a sharp and intelligent light flashing in his eyes, like a swift meteor streaking across the night sky, leaving a bright trail in his heart.

The experience of living two lives has made Jin Jingcheng deeply understand one thing: a person's time and energy are absolutely limited, even if he is a world-class genius.

Therefore, true leaders often know how to maximize personal efficiency, know how to use people, and utilize others' various talents to serve their own ideals and ambitions. Only such people can become true generals; otherwise, no matter how outstanding they are, they are merely the best soldiers.

"Jose, Tony, come over here, I need to discuss something with you."

Without hesitation, Jin Jingcheng turned from his desk and solemnly called out to the two.

Tony immediately jumped off the bed and came to Jin Jingcheng's side.

Jose was somewhat surprised but put down the law book in his hands and walked over.

They had lived together for several years and were familiar with Jin Jingcheng's serious demeanor, but this was the first time they saw him so solemnly summon them, which made them curious and puzzled.

Since they were so familiar, some unnecessary formalities could be skipped.

Jin Jingcheng directly got to the point: "I want to ask for your help. Helping me is from my perspective, but from your perspective, this might be the biggest opportunity in your lives..."

...

Jin Jingcheng's dormitory has a bathroom, and he is currently taking a shower.

Before this, Jin Jingcheng spent two hours explaining Facebook to Jose and Tony. With perfect planning, brilliant presentations, and enticing prospects, he convinced them. The conservative Jose and the overly lively Tony both accepted his ideas and agreed to work with him to complete the grand Facebook blueprint.

There is a mirror in the bathroom. At this moment, the freshly bathed Jin Jingcheng is standing naked in front of the mirror.

He is carefully examining himself in the mirror, a naked and pure self.

This is the first time since his rebirth that he has so thoroughly and seriously examined his new body.

His height is not very tall, about 1.78 meters. His face is not very handsome, but it is definitely not bad, and he can be considered quite handsome. His brows and eyes exude a steady and composed demeanor rarely seen in ordinary young people. Perhaps due to martial arts training, his not very muscular body has clear lines, and some well-placed muscles conceal strength.

"Not the best, but just right!"

Jin Jingcheng is very satisfied with his appearance, especially when compared to his previous self, which makes him even more excited. In his previous life, he had an ordinary appearance, was only 1.7 meters tall, and had a somewhat frail body.

"Only one year left, I must make good use of this year in America to lay a solid foundation for the future." Jin Jingcheng muttered to himself.

In one year, he will obtain a Ph.D. from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and a Master's degree from the Stern School of Business.

Several leaders from New York University have already talked to him, willing to offer him a high-level position at the university; several film and television companies from Hollywood have extended invitations to him; and several top companies in the United States are willing to hire him with high salaries...

Originally, "that Jin Jingcheng" was considering these options, with his first choice being to accept an offer from a film company called Miramax Films.

Jin Jingcheng was not unfamiliar with this film company in his previous life, not because the company was particularly famous, but because its founders were Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein, especially the latter, Harvey Weinstein, who was a well-known figure in Hollywood, though his fame was somewhat unique, mainly because he was the most aggressive public relations promoter for the Academy Awards.

Now, Jin Jingcheng no longer considers these options. His choice is simple and clear: to return to Korea in one year and start his Korean entertainment industry.

In his previous life, he had a perception that the Korean entertainment industry was a kind of disease, and many people were severely affected by it.

He was one of them.

And now, he tells himself in his heart: "In this new life, I will be a super demon controlling the Korean entertainment industry!"

This is a grand wish. Even with the advantages of rebirth and high talent, it is still challenging to achieve. Therefore, he must constantly strive and make progress. Even with one year of study abroad left, he must make good use of it. The more he utilizes it, the more solid the foundation will be. Accumulating bit by bit, his Korean entertainment industry will have more assurance.

...

Ten days later, one evening.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. A restaurant near Harvard University.

Three men are sitting in an ordinary private room.

They are Jin Jingcheng, Jose, and Tony, who have specially come from New York University.

Over the past ten days, the three of them have tried every means to contact Mark Zuckerberg, who is studying computer science and psychology at Harvard University. Jin Jingcheng has had multiple conversations with Mark Zuckerberg over the phone and via video, making him understand his purpose and gradually accept his proposal.

Today is their first formal meeting, and if everything goes as planned, it will also be the day they sign the contract.

The dishes on the table are all ready, and two bottles of red wine are prepared, but the guest they are waiting for has not arrived yet.

Unwilling to waste time, Jose repeatedly reviewed the legal contract that had been drafted in advance on the table, occasionally glancing at Jin Jingcheng.

Tony, on the other hand, seemed bored and watched Jin Jingcheng to pass the time.

Tony still finds it incredible. Jin Jingcheng's behavior over the past ten days has surprised him. He feels that Jin Jingcheng has changed, though he can't quite put his finger on it. He just generally feels that Jin Jingcheng has become more composed, more creative, and more decisive. This Facebook plan and its implementation have amazed him, a Ph.D. student in computer engineering.

However, Tony has already determined that Facebook definitely has enormous potential value.

Even the composed Jose is deeply impressed by Jin Jingcheng's creativity and performance over the past ten days.

Jose even wonders in his heart how Jin Jingcheng, who is not in the computer engineering department and is studying film and business, as well as developing interests in music, literature, and public speaking, suddenly became interested in computer engineering and came up with something as novel and peculiar as Facebook.

Jin Jingcheng knows that Tony is observing him and that Jose occasionally glances at him, but he doesn't dwell on it. As he has done over the past ten days, he is deep in thought about Facebook-related matters.

He has considered creating Facebook himself, but he completely rejected this idea. Even with Tony to help, it would be difficult to develop Facebook to the scale it reached in his previous life. He is determined that to create Facebook, he still needs the party involved, the rare genius Mark Zuckerberg.

"Sorry, I'm late."

At this moment, a young man with a somewhat short stature and a somewhat unkempt appearance walked into the private room, briefly apologized to Jin Jingcheng and the others, and then found a wooden chair to sit down.

It is undoubtedly Mark Zuckerberg.

Jin Jingcheng's gaze focused on Mark Zuckerberg. This is the first time he has met him in person. Just like in his previous life, Mark Zuckerberg's appearance is rather unremarkable, the kind of person who is hard to notice in a crowd. Moreover, the current Mark Zuckerberg is still very young, dressed like an American high school student.

However, Jin Jingcheng would not underestimate him. Not only because of the significant impact Mark Zuckerberg had in his previous life, but also because of the multiple interactions over the past ten days, he has felt that this genius is not easy to deal with.

Jin Jingcheng noticed that Mark Zuckerberg's expression was somewhat gloomy, probably due to some distressing matter. He deliberately asked with concern, "Mr. Zuckerberg, are you troubled by something? If it's inconvenient today, we can wait until you rest and recover, and then discuss it tomorrow."

Mark Zuckerberg said somewhat carelessly, "It's nothing serious, just broke up with my girlfriend. Let's talk."

Mark Zuckerberg is the type of person with extremely high IQ but low EQ. In his heart, computers are more important than women, and his career is more important than friends. Otherwise, the Eduardo Saverin lawsuit in his previous life would not have happened.

Jin Jingcheng nodded, feeling even more certain in his heart.
