Reborn IT Giant

Throughout the afternoon, Zheng Yan has been thinking about whether there are any conditions that can impress Bill Miller, but unfortunately, there is no result.

And Bill Miller has been uneasy because of the conditions offered by Zheng Yan.

Today, Bill Miller's income is far lower than that of those wealthy people, but it is still higher than that of more than 90% of Americans.

As Zheng Yan said, solving the problem of food and clothing is no longer a problem that Bill Miller would consider. He chose to enter the investment industry entirely because of his interest in this aspect.

Of course, Bill Miller doesn't have trouble with money, so Zheng Yan's conditions can be said to be exactly what Bill Miller wants. The only thing Bill Miller can't let go of is his feelings for the Legge Manson Value Fund.

On the contrary, Liu Wei and others came to the United States for a vacation, so they played golf with great interest all afternoon.

It wasn't until Leonard arrived that Zheng Yan and others ended their day's trip.

"Zheng Yan, you know, today I communicated your idea with the R&D staff. Although the results are not yet certain, everyone feels that your idea is likely to succeed."

"Now the laboratory has started to conduct experiments. If the experiment is successful, not only will our company not have to worry about encountering Waterloo when it goes public, but it may also give us a surprise."

At this time, Leonard has not yet recovered from his excitement.

Leonard, who was already preparing for the listing, even had plans to postpone the listing.

As a technology company, Cisco's launch of new products will undoubtedly bring more confidence to investors. If the launch of new products is held at the same time as the launch, it will certainly greatly stimulate investors' desire to buy.

If the researchers hadn't asked about the source of the improvement ideas, Leonard would have even forgotten Zheng Yan's existence.

Leonard, who originally didn't want to leave the laboratory, endured the reluctance in his heart and rushed over from the laboratory in order to get more inspiration from Zheng Yan.

But Leonard didn't know that Zheng Yan didn't care at all about the development progress of the new generation router. It would be released sooner or later anyway, and he just accelerated the progress a little.

And in Zheng Yan's opinion, even after the improvement, the router is still a bit crude, but the current conditions can only achieve this level, and there is really nothing to be happy about.

At this time, Zheng Yan was thinking about how to convince Bill Miller, which was more important than upgrading the router, so Leonard was destined to be disappointed.

"Congratulations, Leonard." Zheng Yan responded absently.

"No, Zheng Yan, you are congratulating us. You are now also a shareholder of the company. I can already imagine that once we successfully upgrade, we will definitely cause a sensation again."

Leonardo didn't notice anything wrong with Zheng Yan at all, and thought that Zheng Yan had everything in mind, so he became even more interested in Zheng Yan.

"Okay, Leonard, everyone must be tired. Let's find a place to eat first."

"I don't know if there are any good Chinese restaurants in San Francisco. I'll treat everyone to Chinese food tonight to celebrate our cooperation."

No one's success is accidental, it requires at least a strong heart. Regarding Bill Miller's wooing, Zheng Yan believed that he had tried his best. If nothing unexpected happened, he could only wait for the other party's reply.

And Zheng Yan really didn't want to waste too much time on the topic of routers, so he changed the topic directly.

"Chinese restaurant? As far as I know, authentic Chinese cuisine can only be found in Chinatown."

At this moment, it was no longer Zheng Yan who was seeking help from Leonard, but Leonard trying to curry favor with Zheng Yan. Therefore, even though Leonard had no interest in Chinese food, he still decided to respect Zheng Yan's opinion.

.

Speaking of overseas Chinatowns, although they are spread all over the world, and Zheng Yan has heard about them a lot, he has never actually seen them. At this time, when Leonard mentioned it, Zheng Yan also became interested.

San Francisco Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the western United States. It is centered at the intersection of California Street and Duban Street and includes several blocks of Bush Street, Powell Street, Broadway Street, and Kearney Street.

When a group of people came to Chinatown, the first thing they saw was a Chinese-style archway and a plaque that read "The world is for the common good."

All the storefronts on the street are written in Chinese characters, and all the buildings retain the Chinese architectural style. From time to time, I hear some people communicating in Chinese, which is like a miniature version of China, which doubles the impression of Zheng Yan and others.

Although he was in Chinatown, Zheng Yan didn't expect to be able to eat authentic Chinese cuisine. After all, he was in a foreign country, so all the dishes must have been modified according to American eating habits.

So, Zheng Yan chose a relatively large store and walked in.

The tables and chairs in the store are a bit old, but they are kept very clean and will not affect people's appetite.

Due to the large number of people, we requested two adjacent boxes.

After sitting down, considering that Bill Miller and others did not know much about Chinese cuisine, Zheng Yan directly took the menu handed over by the waiter.

After taking the menu, Zheng Yan found that the dishes in the two menus were actually the same, but one was written in English and the other was written in Chinese.

"Aren't the two menus the same? Is there anything special about them?" Zheng Yan asked strangely.

The waiter did not expect that Zheng Yan actually knew Chinese characters. There are many Chinese in Chinatown who can speak Chinese, but not many know Chinese characters.

Moreover, when he saw Zheng Yan and his party, because of the presence of Bill Miller and others, the waiter was not sure whether the other party was Chinese, so he just handed over two menus in accordance with the rules of the store.

"Hello, although the dishes in the two menus are the same, the preparations are slightly different. In the menu written in English, the preparations of the dishes have been slightly changed, while in the menu written in Chinese, the original preparations have been kept as much as possible."

"You also know that Americans have very different tastes from us Chinese, and we are trying our best to meet the needs of everyone."

Although Zheng Yan has never experienced Chinese restaurants abroad, she has heard of many.

Most Chinese restaurants opened abroad, in order to cater to the eating habits of foreigners, cook dishes that are either average or foreign, and are as unpalatable as they are delicious.

Zheng Yan also didn't expect that the restaurant he picked at random would have authentic Chinese cuisine.

After ordering, Zheng Yan ordered another bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine.

"Bill, Leonard, we are lucky. You can taste an authentic Chinese meal today." Zheng Yan said with a smile.

"Oh Zheng Yan, compared to food, your ideas for improving routers,

It interests me even more," Leonard said.

Leonard brought up the router thing again, which gave Zheng Yan a headache. Regarding routers, Zheng Yan only knew some basic information. If he really wanted to explain it in detail, Zheng Yan couldn't answer it.

"Okay Leonard, I have already said that all I can provide is an idea. The specific improvement methods still need to be completed by technical personnel."

Although Leonard wanted to continue to explore Zheng Yan's potential, Zheng Yan refused to give him face and tried his best to avoid this issue.

Bill Miller heard the conversation between Leonard and Zheng Yan and became interested.

Speaking of Zheng Yan, Bill Miller doesn't know much about him, but he knows a lot about Leonard.

Leonard was originally the director of the Computer Center of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, and now that he founded Cisco, he cannot be said to be an unknown person even in the United States.

However, listening to the conversation between Leonard and Zheng Yan, compared with yesterday's conversation, Leonard obviously had more admiration for Zheng Yan, and was even a little bit flattering, which made Bill Miller very confused.

"What's wrong, Leonard? Although Zheng Yan has a lot of knowledge in computers, it's only for software. He shouldn't be able to help you with the improvement of routers, right?"

"No, Bill, before this morning, I thought the same thing as you, but now my thoughts have completely changed..."

Although Zheng Yan refused to reveal more, Leonard was not disappointed. Originally, because of the breakthrough in research and development progress, the excitement in his heart had nowhere to vent. At this moment, when Bill Miller asked, Leonard asked,

I talked about my conversation with Zheng Yan in the morning and talked about it with Bill Miller.

At this moment, Leonard was not the only one who was shocked.

"Oh Zheng Yan, you are really amazing. Have you ever thought about coming to Stanford for further study? If you are willing, Leonard and I will be happy to contact you."

As one of the inventors of routers, Santilerna has always been thinking of ways to improve technology, so he is naturally very aware of the difficulties involved.

A problem that the entire R&D team couldn't solve was actually solved because of Zheng Yan's few words.

"Santi, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't have such thoughts for the time being."

Zheng Yan finally got freed from Beijing University, so naturally he didn't want to put shackles on himself again.

Although Stanford is a world-renowned university, Zheng Yan doesn't think he can learn anything new. After all, computer and Internet technologies are currently limited.

"That's really a pity, but we'll still be happy to help you if you want in the future."

Originally it was just a topic that Zheng Yan didn't want to discuss, but Zheng Yan didn't expect that because of Leonard and Santilerna's words, the balance in Bill Miller's heart tilted a little more.

Bill Miller had already discovered some of Zheng Yan's investment abilities through operations in the Japanese stock market. But Bill Miller did not expect that Zheng Yan also had such profound attainments in computer technology.

"Leonard, I think you should thank Leslie and I. If it weren't for our introduction, maybe you would have missed out on a partner like Zheng Yan."

"Yes Bill, I do..."

After Bill Miller and Santi Lerner got involved, Leonard finally stopped pestering Zheng Yan.
