Vol 6 Chapter 459: Instinctive worries

San Francisco.

On the outdoor balcony of Fairmont, the legendary hotel on Nob Hill, Sun Zhengyi is bathed in the warm sunshine of California and is listening to the introduction of their entrepreneurial projects by the two entrepreneurs opposite.

As one of the most luxurious and legendary hotels in San Francisco, Fairmont Hotel is loved by celebrities from all walks of life, not only because of its legendary experience-it is one of the rare buildings that survived the 1906 earthquake And, the UN Charter is also signed here.

Not only because of its rich European-style palace-like luxury, but also the invincible landscape that can be enjoyed here-on the large balcony where Sun Zhengyi is now, on the left is the calm San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island are in front of you; On the right, the famous tram, the cablecar, passes under your feet. The clanging sound is clear and sweet. You can see the busy traffic of San Francisco and the unique style of California.

It's because of the convenient location of the hotel.

Nob Hill, the highest in downtown San Francisco, is not only a traditional wealthy area, but also located in the middle of the financial district, Union Square and Fisherman’s Wharf. It is the only place in San Francisco where all the tram lines are gathered. It is the first choice for business and high-end tourists.

But now, while Sun Zhengyi listened carefully to the statements of two people who were obviously wearing newly bought suits, he was thinking in his heart, perhaps, it is time to buy a property in San Francisco or Silicon Valley.

Although high-tech companies in Silicon Valley are inevitably affected because of subprime mortgages, this impact is not worth mentioning compared to the Internet bubble that almost wiped out all of his wealth a few years ago.

Silicon Valley is still the region with the most investment opportunities in the world-just look at Feng Yiping's brilliant success in Silicon Valley.

Buying a property here will help narrow the distance between him and the entrepreneurs, and more effectively compete with local investors in Silicon Valley, including Feng Yiping.

He gestured to the other side, and the two entrepreneurs paused with surprise. Is this the end? Can you get the check soon?

They have heard of this investor's style a long time ago, and he will not spend much time listening to your statement, because he has a sufficient understanding of you and the company before contacting you.

The main reason he meets with you is that you can listen to his statement on how the company should invest a lot of money in marketing and sales to quickly expand its influence.

But this time, the two were disappointed. Sun Zhengyi just called his assistant, whispered to him, and then smiled and motioned for them to continue.

What the two entrepreneurs didn't know was that just now, Sun Zhengyi also decided on an investment estimated to exceed 100 million US dollars.

His explanation to his assistants was to let him find luxury houses in San Francisco, including Silicon Valley.

The conditions are simple, just expensive enough, the ones that sell for more than 100 million US dollars are the best.

In some respects, like Lao Ma, he is very good at things, or in other words, very good at advertising.

He believes that the news of his purchase of a multi-million-dollar mansion in San Francisco will definitely leave a very deep and positive impression on many entrepreneurs.

Although successful people in the American business community are well packaged as a whole, for example, the purpose of starting a business is not to promote communication among all human beings, but to change the world; they are keen on charity-even claiming to donate their entire wealth; Some high-end areas of mankind-aerospace and health...

But everyone in the circle knows that the successful people in the American business community are the most luxurious and extravagant group, and it is the old money in old Europe who have inherited them to say sourly that they are "out of taste" luxury.

For most entrepreneurs in the United States, their motivation and vision for entrepreneurship are not at all for changing the world and making the world a better tomorrow.

They just want to make their tomorrow better.

Once the business is successful, they will have a lot of money to experience the beauty of the world, including the luxury houses in the noble residential areas, the luxury yachts on the docks, the private jets on the tarmac, and dozens of luxury cars in the garage. , Piles of beauties in the pool...

A mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars will undoubtedly make entrepreneurs who walk there yearn for and admire. Naturally, it will also allow those entrepreneurs to directly experience his strength and at the same time unconsciously feel pressure.

This two-person entrepreneurial team at this time may be a very sad team among the investors Sun Zhengyi came forward to receive.

Because not long after they started to make statements again, the assistant just now took the initiative to whisper to Sun Zhengyi.

Then they saw that Sun Zhengyi's face changed drastically.

The assistant reported a message from Twitter, "Due to work reasons, Dorsey will not be able to meet with you two days later,"

Come on!

You know, the main reason he came to San Francisco this time was to meet the three on Twitter.

Judging from the situation of the call at the time, the trio on Twitter should be very welcome when they received the call they made on their own initiative, because they said that they would fly back to Silicon Valley immediately. It sounded like they were fleeing China. Just like escaping Feng Yiping, how come such a change occurred after returning to Silicon Valley?

Could it be that they realized that they were wrong in the way they did before, and now they want to remedy it through such delays?

Play this set with me? naive!

And frankly, it was too late.

"Tell them we will leave tomorrow night,"

Of course, Sun Zhengyi would not be allowed to follow the opponent's rhythm, but he still gave Dorsey and them more than 30 hours of reaction time.

After all, Twitter was originally a company he was optimistic about, because he felt that Twitter has great potential for development in Feng Yiping's successful social field.

After he learned that Feng Yiping had clearly expressed interest in Twitter, he made a call without hesitation—that guy would never miss him.

Some people on Twitter may not realize that Sun Zhengyi was in trouble when he made the call. He knew that Dorsey and the others were accepting Feng Yiping’s invitation. They were in China, so he was very worried that Twitter had reached an agreement with Feng Yiping. .

But he only heard the joy that Dorsey showed when he received his call, and when he said that he would invest at least 100 million US dollars, he revealed a greater surprise...

Now, why does this change happen?

The optimistic side is that Dorsey and the others have returned to Silicon Valley and did not agree with Feng Yiping's retention. This shows that the situation is still very beneficial to them.

However, Dorsey and the others' transformation would undoubtedly make him very unhappy.

While unhappy, he still felt a little uneasy.

This kind of worry made him not very interested in the project he was listening to.

At the same time, I am not interested in introducing to the entrepreneurs that I invested in Yahoo at the same time like other meetings, telling how I helped Yahoo from the small inconspicuous startup company to today’s Internet dominance, and how to make those two still have nothing at that time. The story of young people who have become rich people today.

"Sorry you two, I still need to think about your project. Please wait for the call from my office." Sun Zhengyi stood up, but did not shake hands with the two.

Because according to his practice, the handshake in such a meeting means that he will invest in them.

He did not pay attention to the disappointment that the two entrepreneurs concealed behind their smiles, nor did he pay attention to the lonely backs when they turned around. At this time, he looked at the calm San Francisco Bay and couldn't calm down.

He was instinctively worried that something new might happen next, just like demons might actually emerge on Alcatraz Island.

At present, he attaches great importance to Twitter~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Based on Feng Yiping’s success in the social field and the industry’s evaluation of Feng Yiping’s facebook, he believes that he can make Twitter a super unicorn.

In Silicon Valley, as Yahoo went down to its peak, it was becoming increasingly powerless in front of new companies. The myth of the investment world he was a start-up was gradually fading.

He urgently needs to create another new myth that will impress everyone.

And Twitter is exactly the most suitable project he thinks.

Especially, when I thought that this project would be taken from Feng Yiping's mouth, my sense of accomplishment immediately increased a bit.

Therefore, he also understood the reason for his worries. His worries did not come from the three on Twitter, but all came from Feng Yiping.

He immediately notified his assistant, “I immediately understand Feng Yiping’s dynamics and see if he also plans to fly back to Silicon Valley,”

Feng Yiping, what will you do under the current circumstances?
