Hollywood New Century
449 A little scared
San Francisco, Simon did not return to Los Angeles after leaving Monterey, but went directly to San Francisco to the north. After all, the distance between the two is only about 120 miles (less than 200 kilometers).
San Francisco South Bay, East Palo Alto, not far from Stanford University, is part of Silicon Valley, where the office building of the venture capital fund of the Nine-headed Bird Consortium is located.
A new four-story building, the headquarters of the Nine Birds Venture Fund, faces the San Francisco Bay. Compared with the West Coast headquarters of Nine Head Bird Capital in the financial district of San Francisco, the office buildings here are much more low-key.
The venture capital fund is an important investment fund of Jiutou Capital, and the technology industry is the key business of the venture capital project. Simon has an impression of the investment project business, of course, the company directly holds the shares in its hands. For many of the other investments in start-up technology companies, Simon has directly let the practice manager handle it.
There is still a certain distance from Palo Alto to San Francisco, and Simon only stayed in Palo Alto for two days before heading to his villa in Pacific Heights in San Francisco.
First of all, I met with representatives of Bank of America and Wells Fargo. As the Nine-headed Bird Consortium is growing, many banks have expressed their interest in in-depth cooperation.
"Nancy should really talk to them," Simon sat down on the sofa and took a sip of coffee after seeing off the guests.
Katherine Hills smiled slightly, but did not speak. In fact, whether it is Nine Head Bird Capital or Xinghai Group, there is a lot of cooperation. Wells Fargo, in particular, has a pretty good relationship with Simon Pike.
"There's a Dickens Christmas celebration in San Francisco these days. Want to see it? It's over at Fisherman's Wharf," Katherine Hills suggested.
"It's just a lot of people celebrating in Victorian clothes or as characters from Dickens' books."
Listening to Katherine Hills' explanation, Simon felt a little bored and said, "No wonder it is said that all culture in the United States is British. This kind of boring and time-wasting activity is a waste of life."
"San Francisco's crime rate is among the highest in the United States all year round. Robbery, theft, fights, and shootings continue every day. Which of these activities won't hurt a few people or kill a few?"
Catherine Hills complained in her heart, and the boss was too exaggerated. It was normal for large events to have small problems. It's not so serious, and Fisherman's Wharf is also a famous scenic spot, and there are many police. Not like those streets in the city, where all kinds of homeless people gather?
"I don't want to go to Fisherman's Wharf, but I want to go to Chinatown." Chinatown is near the financial district. Simon is in the seaside heights. It's not much farther than Fisherman's Wharf by car.
In the afternoon, Simon alone carried out 10 limited editions of the Cayenne from the Pacific Heights to the Chinatown area.
After passing Russian Hill, go straight along Columbus Avenue to the Chinatown area of San Francisco.
A black Nizi coat was casually wrapped around him, and Simon wandered alone in Chinatown. Compared with the Christmas activities that have begun to be prepared in many other places, Chinatown seems to be less.
Many shops on the street have Chinese signboards. When you pass by some small food shops, you can clearly smell the aroma, which is really a familiar taste in the heart.
Photos and campaign slogans of the new San Francisco Mayor Lee Mengxian are posted on many walls. As the first elected Chinese mayor, Lee Mengxian must have the highest approval rate in Chinatown.
After looking for a Chinese restaurant, Simon was about to eat something. When the waiter served the food, Simon asked, "Are there any protesters in the nearby square?"
The waiter looked at Simon a few times, but still explained: "We don't have any near here, but there are hundreds of people protesting in Justin Herb Square."
"Occupy Wall Street" has already spread in countless cities in Europe and America. As the financial center of the West Coast, San Francisco is of course the hardest hit area.
Not to mention that there are many groups protesting in the financial district next door, even Justin Herb Square has hundreds of people.
"Mr. is also going to participate?" the waiter asked.
Simon smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm from a media company, I'm doing news, I just need to understand the material."
"Well, then you can go and interview, they are all low-income groups!" The waiter was Chinese and didn't want to talk nonsense, so he left quickly after serving the food.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and a black man rushed in with an eager face and a bag in his hand.
Several customers in the store exclaimed for a while, and Simon felt a prick in his heart. Fortunately, this nigger didn't have a gun in his hand. Damn, I was scared, and Simon was also afraid of being affected by Chiyu.
The nigger rushed in and seemed to want to escape to the back door of the restaurant. At first glance, it was a robbery. Simon hated niggas in the first place.
When this guy passed by, he stretched his legs and let him fly forward, then stood up and rushed over and kicked him hard. A young Chinese guy in the store also rushed over and helped hold him down.
Soon, two police officers chased after him out of breath.
"Are you all right?" The police saw that the criminal had been subdued, and asked Simon and the Chinese boy directly.
"It's okay, take it away quickly, a good meal was disturbed by this guy," Simon frowned, just as the nigger was still swearing and swearing.
A policeman gave him a direct push to calm him down.
Another policeman was about to say something when the flash flashed and a reporter was taking pictures outside.
Simon shook his head, took out his cell phone and made a call
, let Katherine Hills and the bodyguards come over.
Now that it's about to be exposed, Simon must be a little worried. Simon used to go out alone before, but he didn't encounter such a thing. Now that I have encountered it, it is better to let the bodyguards come over for safety.
Catherine Hills came with a bodyguard with a worried look on her face, after all, it was too dangerous.
"The next thing is up to you, I'll go back first," Simon waved his hand and left with the head of the bodyguard, Jack.
"Boss, it's better not to go out alone next time, it's too dangerous," Jack was also frightened. Simon Parker is not a small person after all, although he is not as recognizable as a star. However, there are many people who know Simon.
"Got it, go back," Simon leaned back in the chair in the car,
"What a fucking America!"
"Boss, you are very famous now, and there are so many people who know you. You can't come alone in a place like this!" Jack has followed Simon for several years and must be responsible for his safety.
"Go back to Los Angeles tomorrow!"
