Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Having seen Riot Games, a group of people rushed to San Francisco non-stop. They had already sent an advance team to find a house, go through formalities, recruit people, and set up a small company as quickly as possible.

Zhao Xuetao was appointed as the supervisor.

San Francisco has a developed economy, is close to Silicon Valley, and has many Chinese. During the opening, a lion dance team was invited, and after a lot of excitement, Yin Yin took many photos of Yao Yuan, and was going to send them back to China for publicity.

"99 Network Forms San Francisco Game Studio!"

"Commander Yao came to the scene to cheer!"

"The first step for 99 games to go overseas is to get through the American social network!"

This is also the main purpose of his business trip this time, which is to play games and gild himself again by the way.

Nowadays, few domestic games go overseas, let alone have any influence. Everyone's eyes are on online games, and they don't know that the humble social games are ready to overtake at a bend, ushering in a golden period of at least 5 years.

Social games are games too!

It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, the one that can earn a dollar is a good cat.

…………

night, hotel.

Yin Yin, who has been shopping for a day, is trying on clothes. Her materialistic desires are not strong, and she does not focus on famous brands. She can wear 100 yuan or 10,000 yuan. It all depends on her preference.

"looks good?"

"nice!"

"You didn't even look at it!"

Yao Yuan, who was staring at the TV, turned his head and saw that the other party was wearing a plaid shirt, the hem of the shirt was tied up, revealing the sexy abdominal muscles and navel, the lower body was wearing hot pants with half of the buttocks exposed, and a pair of dark brown boots.

"What are you dressed like?"

"I learned it from the movie, oh, and the hat!"

Yinyin took another cowboy hat and put it on, twisting it in a decent way.

She seems to have awakened a very unique hobby now, and she dangles in front of him in all kinds of weird clothes when she has nothing to do, including but not limited to: a helpful little nurse in white, a black man who comes out to socialize without shifts to make extra money The silk stewardess, the dire and frowning bathhouse female owner...

Anyway, she has a good figure and looks good in anything she wears.

Sometimes Yao Yuan would give her some advice to give her some inspiration, so that the world between the two would not be too boring.

"How about it?"

"Your cosplayer this time is a Texas girl?"

"What's a Texas girl?"

"Height and long legs, wheat-colored skin, and a weird accent, he can pick up an AR-15 from the car at any time, he can put horses and farms, and he can hunt deer and catch turtles..."

"Sounds cool, I really want to try it."

"Your cosplay is great this time, give it 90 points!"

The two of them were playing a little fun game, Yinyin changed her clothes after a while, came over to rest on his lap, and also looked at the TV: "What are you watching, it's been a long time."

"U.S. News, take a look."

Yao Yuan turned his voice up, and a piece of news was being broadcast: In the previous month, more than 25 subprime mortgage companies in the United States filed for bankruptcy one after another, and Bear Stearns, one of the five largest investment banks, announced the closure of two of its hedge funds...

"What's the meaning?"

"It's going to be a financial crisis."

"ah???"

Yinyin sat up again and said, "How did you say the word financial crisis in such a calm tone?"

"Originally, what does it have to do with us, we are not Americans."

Yao Yuan rubbed her hair, said with a smile: "It's better to go to bed early, recharge your energy, and go to Facebook tomorrow."

The subprime mortgage crisis started to appear in 2007, and broke out in 2008, which has a profound impact on future generations.

To put it simply, the United States packaged loans into a financial product for sale. Banks, rating agencies, insurance companies, etc. were all on this plate, and a huge bubble quickly formed. When a large number of borrowers failed to repay, Naturally, it exploded.

There are five major investment banks in the United States, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns.

The Bear Stearns broadcast on TV was only one step away from dying in history, and was finally rescued. Lehman Brothers was not so lucky and went bankrupt directly.

There are various reasons, but in essence, Lehman was actually divided up by Wall Street led by Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs, one of the instigators of the subprime mortgage crisis, actually made a lot of money in this turmoil, sucking blood everywhere.

As for the impact on China.

Well, I understand everything, at least the house price starts to fly like a rocket.

…………

Yao Yuan contacted Facebook in the name of the company, that is, the president of 99 Group is coming to visit.

After Facebook became famous, there were a lot of visitors every day, but this company from China still made them full of curiosity, and they were shocked after a simple understanding.

Zuckerberg is 23 years old this year, but the other party is only 27 years old, but he has a huge community of 80 million users and instant messaging software with 100 million users, as well as e-commerce, games and so on.

It looks much more awesome than yourself!

Zuckerberg decided to receive it in person.

About 50 kilometers south of San Francisco, there is a place called Palo Alto, where Stanford University is located and Facebook's current headquarters.

Early the next morning.

Yao Yuan led Yin Yin, Gu Jiaming, Zhao Xuetao and a group of five people to the end of a boulevard in Palo Alto, where a small building stood, and a black Acura TSX was parked downstairs.

"..."

He glanced at the car several times, didn't he say Zuckerberg was driving the Fit? What is Acura?

Walking a few steps forward, I saw a few people at the door. The leader was a young man with a long face and a curly head. He hadn't turned into a robot like the later generations.

He was wearing a gray T-shirt with the word "hacker" printed on it, big shorts, and slippers, really casual.

It was Zuckerberg!

"Hello, Mr. Yao!"

He greeted him quickly, and opened his mouth in substandard Mandarin. Yao Yuan responded with surprise in a timely manner: "Hi, do you speak Chinese?"

"I usually study by myself, welcome to come!"

The two shook hands at the door, and immediately a Facebook employee appeared and snapped a few photos.

Zuckerberg seems to be very enthusiastic about every visitor, guiding several people into the building, and looking up, there is a huge wall covered with various interesting pictures shared by users in the space.

"This is our fifth office location in three years, and this is our Facebook wall... I don't like cubicles, I think it limits people's creativity, so I made it open ..."

"Over there is my desk, and there is a conference room with a beautiful glass wall. There is a rest area, and there are visitors sitting there. Many people come to visit every day. We have a special person in charge of this matter .”

Zuckerberg is very talkative and has a strong subjective consciousness. He often uses "I think" and "I think" when speaking, which also shows to a certain extent that this person is extremely assertive.

After a brief stroll, a few people went upstairs.

Yao Yuan was delighted to see the arrangement, it looked like a news conference living room, with two sofas and a small coffee table, and there were already people waiting to record and take pictures.

"An hour ago, I was exercising with my personal trainer and learning Chinese by the way. I am really happy for your arrival, and I hope we can have a good communication. I am curious about your secret of success..."

Zuckerberg is active and active. After all, Facebook is in a bottleneck period and urgently needs to open up new markets, and no one can ignore a terrifying market with more than one billion people.

(no more...

Thanks to the adorable Lord who convinces people with reason. )
