My Age of Investment

Yang Jieyuan is tall and wearing a pair of glasses, standing in the crowd like a standout.

Thirty-five years old is the peak of a man's career, and his gestures reveal a sense of freedom and confidence.

He was talking with the guests when he saw Li Guanfu leading a young man towards him.

"Jerry, I'd like to introduce you to a young man, Darren of Stanford Computer."

Both Li Guanfu and Yang Zhiyuan came from Wanwan to study in the United States. They knew each other a long time ago, so their attitudes were not too rigid, so they started to recommend them when they came up.

Xia Jingxing followed Li Guanfu's introduction, stepped forward, and generously handed out his right hand to Yang Zhiyuan, "Hello, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Jieyuan smiled and shook hands with Xia Jingxing, his tone was very gentle, "Just call me Jerry."

When other guests around saw someone talking to Yang Jieyuan, they wanted to leave, but the opportunity to get close to the richest Chinese in the United States was too rare, and they stayed with the cheeks.

"Jerry, what do you think about social networking sites?"

Time is precious, Xia Jingxing didn't play tricks and went straight to the topic.

"Social networking site?"

Yang Jieyuan glanced at Xia Jingxing curiously.

Too many people are looking for him tonight, all of them are middle-aged and elderly businessmen, talking about securities, investment, finance, and even restaurants, foreign trade...

Suddenly, a young man asked him to chat about the Internet, or a social networking site that has just emerged recently, which made him suddenly interested.

"The current social networking sites are still relatively weak, and it is still unknown whether they will become popular."

Yang Jieyuan just listened to the report of the company's people. Recently, such a website has emerged, but he did not understand it in depth.

Yahoo's main focus is now on international business and search engines.

Especially the search engine, the cooperation with Google in the early years turned into a wolves and cultivated a competitor for themselves.

After the acquisition of Google's offer was not negotiated, Yahoo has moved the idea of ​​​​making its own search engine.

As for the emerging Internet model, they are not too concerned about it.

It's a big deal. If you find out which startup company has the opportunity to become bigger, you can directly acquire it.

This is the thinking of the giants. The system gradually becomes rigid and no longer as flexible as it was when it was founded. All he thinks about is investment and mergers and acquisitions, and there is no incentive to innovate.

Xia Jingxing smiled, "I founded a campus social networking website called Facebook, which has already received angel round investment.

Hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Yahoo when it grows and develops in the future. "

After finishing speaking, Xia Jingxing took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Zhiyuan.

Yang Zhiyuan was relatively easy-going, he did not laugh at Xia Jingxing's overreaching, but took the business card with both hands, looked at it carefully, and put it in his pocket.

He smiled and encouraged: "Yahoo is also a company that came out of the Stanford campus. Come on, you will definitely have a successful day."

Xia Jingxing was not afraid that Yahoo would notice the social track. After all, big companies are not without eyes and ears to collect market information.

Judging from the conversation just now, it is obvious that Yang Jieyuan has also heard about social networking sites.

But why not enter the social realm?

There could be many reasons.

Giant enterprises, bloated system, slow decision-making;

look down on this track;

Money can buy everything.

Xia Jingxing actually wanted to establish cooperation with Yahoo. After all, the current Yahoo is not the future Yahoo, and there are still many good cards in hand.

Isn't Google growing with Yahoo?

But unfortunately, the current social networking sites have not been taken seriously by Yahoo.

The size is not equal, and it is not even worthy of cooperation opportunities.

In addition to benefiting Google, Yahoo has also benefited Ali.

To a certain extent, this company is really a good nurse.

Seeing that Yang Jieyuan was not very interested in social networking sites, Xia Jingxing also knew that there was little hope for cooperation at this stage, so he changed the topic and talked about his study life at Stanford.

On this point, he and Yang Jieyuan, who is also an alumnus, have a lot in common.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding guests were a little curious about who this young man was chatting with Yang Jieyuan.

After chatting with each other for a while, no one knew it, as if it appeared out of nowhere.

Xia Jingxing and Yang Jieyuan chatted about campus fun.

"I remember an Italian restaurant with very good noodles."

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, the current students still like the pasta in that restaurant and often queue up."

"There's still a line up now? But it's really... nothing has changed."

Yang Jieyuan laughed, which brought back many memories of his campus.

If you want to run Facebook for a long time, Xia Jingxing actually doesn't want Yahoo to collapse.

After all, one more Chinese giant technology company can also disperse some pressure.

But the current Yahoo is basically difficult to return, and the gods can't save it.

A few years ago, it was okay, just pinched Google to death and plundered luck.

Now I want to save Yahoo, unless I sacrifice Facebook.

In fact, Yahoo had the opportunity to acquire Google and Facebook, but it was missed by itself.

Xia Jingxing had no brains, and Yahoo's life and death had nothing to do with him.

He wondered if he could make a profit before Yahoo died.

"Daren, are you also an international student from Wanwan?"

Yang Jieyuan asked suddenly.

"No, I came from the mainland to study abroad."

Xia Jingxing answered neither humble nor arrogant.

Many of the guests who were silently watching the chat between the two suddenly realized, and then they looked down on Xia Jingxing a lot.

They said that they had never seen this character in the Chinese circle in San Francisco, and thought it was a rich kid from another state or Southeast Asia.

It turned out to be a mainland boy!

Most of the immigrants from the mainland came here in the 1980s and 1990s, and many of them worked under them.

The inherent impression this group has left on them is not only poor but also poor! Like a country bumpkin.

To this day, the upper-class Chinese community in San Francisco is still dominated by immigrants from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

As for the immigrants from the mainland, they are not in the same circle at all, they are a kind of person.

Yang Zhiyuan didn't have any prejudice, he said "Oh" with a smile, "The mainland is developing quite well now. I met a friend when I went to the mainland for inspection. Now I have started an e-commerce website and it has developed very well. ."

"Is that Mr. Jack Ma of Ali Baba?"

Yang Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's him, you know him too?"

Xia Jingxing shook his head with a smile, "I don't know him, but Ah Li is developing very well now. I only ordered a batch of T-shirts through their 1688 some time ago."

"You still do foreign trade business?"

"No, we have a cooperation with Amazon to sell some peripheral products of the website to students."

Yang Zhiyuan thought about it for a while, then smiled and said, "Your idea is quite good. After earning money, it can also improve the user's sense of belonging."

"Haha, the little trick of carving insects is not worth mentioning."

Yang Jieyuan smiled, "Seeing you young people who are self-motivated, reminds me of myself ten years ago.

not bad! "

After finishing speaking, Yang Jieyuan took out a personal business card, handed it to Xia Jingxing, and said, "It has my personal phone number and email address. You can chat more when you have time."

Seeing this, many of the wealthy businessmen next to them showed envious expressions. Aren't they pretending to be grandsons to win Yang Zhiyuan's friendship?

This mainland boy chatted a few words about the Internet and college life, and was about to arrive at Yang Jieyuan's private phone.

Am I falling behind, or is the world too crazy?

Xia Jingxing calmly accepted the business card, chatted with Yang Zhiyuan a few more times, and walked away with interest.

"Do you still have an Internet company?"

Yang Jieyuan is not very interested in learning about it. Unlike Li Guanfu, he is very interested in this kind of small business. After Xia Jing walked away, he chased after him and asked.

"Yes, the company is very small, with only a few employees."

Xia Jingxing was afraid that Li Guanfu would talk about the investment, and refused to be hurt, so he deliberately made the company more ordinary.

"As a student, I know how to start a business, and I also got an angel round of investment, which is very good."

After finishing speaking, Li Guanfu also took out a business card and handed it to Xia Jingxing, and said with a smile, "When you are free, come to your company to observe and observe."

"my pleasure!"

Xia Jingxing accepted the other party's business card and handed back a business card at the same time.

Li Guanfu nodded and walked away.

Xia Jingxing went to the buffet area next to him to eat, and he received two business cards this evening, which was an unexpected gain for him.

As for the other big guys, there is no need to approach them deliberately.

After eating and drinking, he called a taxi and left the wealthy area of ​​Pacific Heights.

It is impossible to go back to school by taxi, get off at the nearest subway station, and then change to the train.

Finally, through three modes of transportation, I returned to the school.
