MTL - Internet 2010-Chapter 348 Silicon Valley Tour II
After a long flight journey, Lu Zhou and his party finally arrived at San Jose Airport at 7 pm local time.
At the pick-up point, Lu Zhou saw a person holding a sign with the two Chinese characters "Dream Valley" written on it.
Bao Bufan said a little tiredly, "Go, Mr. Lu. That should be the reception staff of Sequoia."
Lu Zhou nodded slightly and followed them to the exit.
"Good evening, gentlemen. I'm Parker of Sequoia."
Parker shook hands with everyone and greeted them one by one. Then he led the way, "The car is in the parking lot, go this way."
The car was a multi-seater commercial car. After everyone got on the car, Parker started the car.
Parker said, "It will take us about 30 minutes to arrive at the hotel you are staying in. If you need anything on the way, you can tell me at any time. You can have a day off tomorrow, and we will arrange the relevant negotiations to start the next morning."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Parker, I think we can talk in advance tomorrow."
Parker glanced at Lu Zhou through the rearview mirror. Before he came, he had already obtained some simple information, and when he just said hello, he also confirmed that this young guy was the initiator of the whole acquisition, Lu Zhou.
Rather anxious, Parker thought.
Parker said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, you can rest assured of our Sequoia attitude. Frankly speaking, we very much agree with the acquisition of Whatsapp by WeChat. This is a win-win plan, and we have no reason to reject it."
He turned the steering wheel, "I suggest you have a good rest for a day. Of course, if you have any plan that you need to communicate with us in advance, you can come directly to Sequoia to discuss it. You are staying at the Rosewood Hotel, and you are just across the road to us. Redwoods."
Lu Zhou thought for a while, and didn't ask any more questions. Bao Bufan also said to him, "Mr. Lu, people from our team will discuss some issues with Sequoia tomorrow. Although we have had preliminary contact with Sequoia in advance, some things do need to be confirmed in person. This, Just leave it to us."
Lu Zhou also smiled after hearing this. The money spent on Huaxing and Bao Bufan has always been a good deal. He smiled and said, "Okay. Then I'll wait for your good news."
Lin Xinhe said, "Let's have some free time tomorrow, and we can visit everywhere. Stanford, Mountain View, you can go there."
Lu Zhou, "Okay, let's take a walk tomorrow."
In case of bumping into a big guy or a potential stock everywhere, the probability cannot be considered low in Silicon Valley. Lu Zhou thought.
In the front, Parker, who was driving, probably felt that speaking Chinese in a full car seemed a little unenthusiastic. He said, "Gentlemen, let me introduce to you. We are now in Santa Clara, where the world-famous Intel is located. Of course. , Nvidia is also here. If you are interested in learning about the history of Silicon Valley, you must go to the Intel Museum here. Silicon Valley, although it is famous for the Internet after 2000, but before that, it has always been related to chip technology. Businesses are closely related.”
Parker went on to introduce, "Go ahead for a while, and we will pass Sunnyvale later. AMD's words are located in the city. Then there is Mountain View where Brother Gu is located..."
......
Half an hour later, in Parker's intermittent introduction, the vehicle got off the highway and arrived at West Monroe Park.
Parker drove the car slowly up Sand Hill Road, and a few minutes later, the car arrived at the scheduled Rosewood Hotel.
"Gentlemen, we're here." Parker turned around and reminded the people behind the car.
Lu Zhou picked up his backpack and got out of the car. The hotel was just a low two-story building.
When everyone got out of the car, Parker pointed to the second floor of a small building across the road, "We Sequoia work in that building, and you can see the Sequoia logo when you walk to the back of the building. If you need to communicate in advance tomorrow, You can walk over directly, of course, remember to contact me in advance."
Lin Xinhe pointed to the building on the left of Sequoia again, and he said to Lu Zhou, "That building is where dfj De Fengjie is located."
Lu Zhou nodded slightly when he saw it, "Oh. The one that invested thousands of degrees in the early days."
Lin Xinhe smiled, "That cast is more than a thousand degrees. The building on the right, kpcb Kai Peng. Don't look at the small, all the big guys are concentrated along the way."
Kpcb, isn't it the gold owner who made a fortune on Amazon, Lu Zhou thought to himself.
Lu Zhou said, "It seems that Brother Lin comes here a lot, but the place is familiar."
Lin Xinhe smiled and said, "I've been here a few times, so I can't say I'm familiar. The circle is so big, and I really needed to come here in the early years."
"Let's go, check in first. The old bags followed Parker in."
Lu Zhou nodded and followed. Not much to say, eat a meal, adjust the jet lag, and that's it for today.
......
Early the next morning, Lu Zhou was woken up by the energetic Lin Xinhe.
It seems that Lin Xinhe is much better at handling the small details of the time difference than he is? ! Lu Zhou seemed a little sluggish, or maybe he shouldn't have seen some messy things last night and saw it in the middle of the night? Lu Zhou yawned and thought.
Lu Zhou followed Lin Xinhe to the hotel restaurant, "What about Mr. Bao and the others?"
Lin Xinhe said, "We have already held a meeting in the hotel conference room, and it is estimated that they will go to Sequoia in a while."
Lu Zhou, "What about us?"
Lin Xinhe thought for a while, "Look around and find a cafe to sit."
Lu Zhou understood for a while, oh, maybe he picked up a leak in a cafe in Silicon Valley? It is said that the atmosphere of talking about entrepreneurship and investment in Huaxia cafes started in Silicon Valley.
The two sat down in the restaurant, but they heard the two middle-aged men sitting next to each other chatting vigorously.
"'Immortal Movement'? Hahaha, I'm afraid you're not trying to laugh at me. It's these programmers who are floating, thinking that cyborgs can really make human beings immortal. Old man, beware of letting these young kids in Silicon Valley be deceived. "
"No no, Tony. You don't know this company, they're very long-term, it's a very visionary company. I think it's definitely worth the money to try."
The man named Tony laughed again, "Haha! Vision?"
"Is it possible that research has become a robot, people don't have to die or get sick, and Big Brother can stop promoting comprehensive medical insurance? After education, it's easy to have trouble, anyway, it's also a data personality. Don't care about the domestic gun laws, the government doesn't need to I'm worried about losing my job, anyway, people can't starve to death as long as they charge. I've read too many novels, man."
The other person sighed slightly, "Old man, did you lose your sense of smell after leaving Silicon Valley for too long? You should be well aware that ~www.novelbuddy.com~ such things are bound to be pursued by the rich, and they will be pursued crazily. In the future, commercialization will inevitably lead to lower profits. What you said is just a topic that politicians need to worry about. We, just make money. "
Tony shrugged slightly, "Very good. Everyone is afraid of death. If you have money, you are even more afraid of death. The more you are afraid of death, the more you have to spend money on research to prolong your life. It is made to make money to deceive the general public. Money invested by the rich. That's what it means."
Another, "Then you're being too blunt..."
The voices of the two of them were quite loud, and it was difficult for Lu Zhou and Lin Xinhe to not hear them.
Lu Zhou listened to half of it, then turned around and said to Lin Xinhe, who was also listening, "It's interesting."
Lin Xinhe took a sip of bread. "Bioscience or cyborg is not an old thing. In recent years, some startups have begun to study this field."
