My Age of Investment

Palo Alto.

On a sunny afternoon, the sun filled the large garden of the villa, and the flowers and plants in the garden were coated with a layer of gold.

"Buzz buzz~"

A completely white drone was "stepping" on the heads of the flowers and performing "flying on the grass", and from time to time it also performed "pulling onions on dry land".

"Wow~"

Xia Zerui looked at the toys flying over his head, his eyes widened, and his mouth kept babbling.

He wanted to break free from his mother Christina's hand and chase the plane, but he was still not very steady when walking. He staggered as if he was drunk, and would fall on his butt from time to time.

"Hurry up and put the plane away. If you don't let him play with it, you will wave it in front of him and make him feel itchy. Then he will torture me."

In order to hold her son's hand without making him uncomfortable, Christina could only bend her waist and accompany her son around the yard.

After a while, she felt a sore back, so she simply picked up her son and started blaming Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing glanced at Kristina, who kept hitting her lower back with her fists, and carefully operated the drone to land in the open space. Then he walked over and handed the remote control handle to Kristina, and went to hug his son with both hands.

Xia Zerui glanced at his father, then tilted his head and timidly buried his head in his mother's arms.

"It's been so long since we last met, he doesn't even recognize you anymore."

Kristina spoke in a sinister tone, and Xia Jingxing laughed twice, "You'll get to know her after just a hug!"

Then, Xia Zerui cried and was taken away by his father. When he saw the drone in front of him, he suddenly became quiet and stopped crying. He stared straight at the new toy.

"Son, this is a plane. Can you be a pilot when you grow up?"

"You can't kick it, otherwise it won't fly."

"Okay, you can kick it as you like. If you break it, dad will fix it for you... That's impossible. Your uncle Wang Tao still has many more. Our family can be considered an aircraft factory."

…

Kristina watched with a smile as Xia Jingxing coaxed his son in Chinese.

The baby is not very good at talking yet, so the boyfriend talks to himself.

Kristina also said to herself that although she often couldn't see others, she really loved this family and her son, and that was enough.

Sometimes gossip from outside reaches her ears, but she automatically filters it out, too lazy to care about it, and doesn't want to care about it. She has a smart and lovely child, owns Facebook, the unlisted Internet company with the highest valuation in the world, and has many things in her hands that exceed those of ordinary women.

As for the marriage relationship, she has taken it very lightly now, because the female CEOs and entrepreneur friends around her often complain about their bad marriages in front of her, saying that they did not get married until they devoted most of their energy to their workplace life. It's truly freeing.

Once she attended an event with Melinda and Mackenzie. After drinking some wine, the woman behind the two successful men suddenly burst out emotionally and began to pour out her bitterness.

She felt complicated at first, then numb, and finally relieved.

Kristina sighed slightly in her heart, sometimes it is not a good thing if a man is too successful; if he is not successful, then it is another kind of life, maybe ordinary, maybe worse.

But the most egregious one is Buffett!

The sanctimonious old man, despite his age, still lives together with two women, and the relationship between them is actually very harmonious!

This is something Christina can never accept, and it is also her final bottom line.

Thinking of this, her sharp eyes sharply scratched the back of Xia Jingxing's head.

Xia Jingxing felt uncomfortable for no reason. He subconsciously turned around and caught Kristina's eyes. She was looking at him with a smile. Her sweet smile made him feel like he had returned to six years ago. The school days before.

He felt something in his heart, picked up his son who was still kicking the drone, and walked towards Christina.

After approaching, he held his son with one hand and put his arm around Christina's shoulder, letting her lean on his shoulder, and said softly: "The energy of the little guy is too strong, and you have been tired during this period."

Christina pinched her son's chubby cheeks, which were like jelly and full of elasticity.

She showed a motherly smile and said, "Actually, it's okay. I'm just worried that when he gets older, he will miss his mother and the servants won't be able to take care of him."

"Then take him to the company and watch him. I go to and from get off work with you every day. I am taking this opportunity to call on Silicon Valley companies to provide maternal and child areas for female employees and equal rights for men and women! You, a feminist leader, take the lead."

Looking at Xia Jingxing with a nonchalant expression, Christina carefully observed his expression for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Haha, aren't you afraid of getting you into trouble?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at her, feeling that he had been seriously questioned. When he was anxious to explain, he even spoke in Sichuan dialect, "I'm afraid of a hammer, so if I have the ability, all my American assets will be confiscated."

Kristina rolled her blue eyes upwards, gave Xia Jingxing a roll of her eyes, and then smiled and said: "Forget it, if Facebook doesn't exist anymore, wouldn't it be wrong to get married when Enoch grows up? Can’t even afford the bride price?”

The corner of Xia Jingxing's mouth twitched, which meant something.

Seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't answer, Christina smiled and changed a new topic: "Kuke personally sent me and Luo Li an email, inviting Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to develop IOS mobile applications.

I haven't replied to him yet and would like to ask you what your attitude is before making a decision. "

"What attitude can I have? Of course I promise him!" Xia Jingxing replied calmly.

Kristina frowned slightly, "If the current situation continues, smartphone coverage will become higher and higher.

It is only a matter of time before our three mobile applications will be put on the Smart Fruit Store.

However, the app store has just been launched, the number of smartphones is very small, and there is no trend of logging in and accessing websites through mobile apps.

If we delay the launch of IOS applications for a while, we can create certain advantages for the revival of mobile phones.

Are you sure you want to give up?

Let me remind you, if we agree now, don’t think about going back on it later. Shareholders and directors will oppose this kind of thing that sacrifices Facebook’s interests to realize the revival of mobile phones. "

Looking at Kristina's playful expression, Xia Jingxing shook his head and said: "Facebook is Facebook, Fuxing Mobile is Fuxing Mobile, these are two companies.

You don't need special care to revive your phone, and it's against the rules.

Fuxing Mobile has our own ways and means to suppress the development of Wisdom Fruit, and you should not interfere.

Moreover, your method can only be successful for a short time, but it will cause endless troubles. "

Kristina smiled and said: "You said this yourself, don't regret it in the future."

"What do I regret?"

Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed. He has a full understanding of the development and division of American industries. Currently, some companies are beginning to enter deep waters and need to be more careful.

Take Facebook, for example. The company is already fully profitable. Once it is listed, it will be green dollars. Just throw the stock into the stock market and you will get money. It is easy and safe to realize it.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such fat meat?

He estimated that someone should be looking at Facebook and his flaws with a magnifying glass at this moment.

Once found, asking for a share of the pie is just the simplest appeal for interests.

CFIUS intercepted Vision Capital's acquisition of Marvel, and although it was finally approved, it was a very bad signal and allowed all parties to see Vision Capital or its weaknesses.

The more times like this, the more important it is to stay calm and not make mistakes.

"You just said that it was Ku Ke who sent you the email personally?"

Kristina nodded towards Xia Jingxing, "Yes, he was very polite with his words, and he also invited me, Luo Li and Cheryl to visit the wisdom fruit."

Xia Jingxing pinched his chin. Cook seemed to be more difficult to deal with than Jobs?

While this guy is trying his best to break into the Chinese market, he also quickly thinks of countermeasures and uses this relatively clever method to smooth out the application advantages of Fuxing mobile phones.

Should Peter Thiel pick him up? Turn him into Kite Three?

Xia Jingxing thought about it seriously and finally gave up on this unreliable idea because these two people had boyfriends who loved "them" deeply! It’s not easy to beat a mandarin duck!

"You go ahead, but you still have to negotiate the conditions. Don't let Ku Ke get in the way. You can also try to put some pressure on Ku Ke if the talks fail.

In addition, even if the agreement is reached, application development can be slower. IOS development is not easy. It is necessary to give users a good experience. This is Facebook's corporate culture. "

Christina smiled, amused by Xia Jingxing's shamelessness.

"Why are you so shameless? Just now you said so plausibly, "I don't regret it", "We are two companies"..."

Seeing Christina who was imitating her own tone and demeanor so vividly, Xia Jingxing became angry and wanted to take care of her!

"Papa pa pa" slapped her a few times, and then she calmed down.

Xia Zerui looked at his parents with wide eyes like a curious baby, wondering what he was doing?

"The child is still here!"

Looking at her confused son, Christina's face instantly turned red, and then she comforted herself. Fortunately, her son was still young, only one year old, otherwise she would really be too shameless to see others.

Looking at Kristina, who was moist, shiny and full of charm, Xia Jingxing's heart moved. He gently leaned into her ear and said mysteriously: "Shall we give Xia Zerui another younger brother and sister? Look at him How lonely he is, with no one to play with him."

"You think it's quite beautiful!"

Kristina was "livid". She fiercely thrust the remote control into Xia Jingxing's arms, hugged her son and went into the house.

Looking at the graceful waist and increasingly plump peach swaying with the skirt, Xia Jingxing smiled and followed quickly.

None of the drones on the ground were picked up.
