My Age of Investment

Zhang Chenguang, who ended his European trip and settled his home, finally came to the United States.

He stood at the passenger exit at San Francisco Airport, looking around.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure beckoning to him, hurriedly dragged his suitcase, and walked up with a smile.

"Brother Xia, oh, no, President Xia, why did you come to pick me up in person? How embarrassing you are!"

Zhang Chenguang really did not expect that Xia Jingxing would come to pick him up in person, so he was a little flattered.

His work visa has been handled by Facebook staff who are responsible for connecting with him.

He checked Facebook on the Internet before and knew the true strength of this company.

Xia Jingxing did not exaggerate, and he was even arrogant. It was not just a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars. He saw media reports on the Internet that Facebook's valuation had reached 2 billion or 3 billion US dollars.

A company with more than 100 employees has such an exaggerated valuation?

To this end, he also specially studied the model, valuation and number of employees of Internet companies.

After the research, he no longer has any doubts. The characteristics of this kind of high-tech company are that there are few people and few fixed assets, but the valuation and market value are extremely high.

Although Facebook has not yet listed, it received a round of Series A financing of more than 50 million US dollars at the beginning of the year.

In his view, this is also a very powerful performance.

Therefore, he was completely relieved about his job as a security consultant, and he cooperated with the Facebook staff to get a visa and came to the United States quickly.

Xia Jingxing, such a big boss, actually left his job today and came to the airport to meet him in person, which still moved him a bit.

Looking at Zhang Chenguang showing his true feelings, Xia Jingxing smiled, "Brother Chenguang, you're out now. We are friends, isn't it normal for me to pick you up?

Although you are about to join Facebook, we are also colleagues.

Internet companies are all in a flat management model, and the division between superiors and subordinates is not so clear.

Don't be under any pressure, come here as if you were home. "

Xia Jingxing's words,

Zhang Chenguang didn't know how to take it.

When he wanted to come, the bodyguard was always behind the boss, helping the boss drive, and being called by the boss.

Internet companies are flat, and I don't know if it's true or not?

Without asking too much, he nodded again and again and said yes, and planned to check them one by one after going to work.

The two came to the parking lot chatting and laughing, Xia Jingxing opened the trunk of the second-hand BMW 5 Series, ready to help Zhang Chenguang put the suitcase.

How dare Zhang Chenguang ask the boss to help with the luggage, but he directly refused.

Although Xia Jingxing had no air at all, Zhang Chenguang could still carry it clearly in his heart.

Xia Jingxing asked him to be his bodyguard again, and he came to the airport to pick him up in person, mostly because of his friendship that day.

He is not stupid, what is affection and what is duty, he is clear in his heart.

Zhang Chenguang put his luggage away and glanced at the BMW with some old paint before getting in the car. He was a little surprised.

This scene happened to be seen by Xia Jingxing through the rearview mirror.

After Zhang Chenguang got into the car, he started the car and asked with a smile, "Do you think it's a bit unreasonable for me to drive this car?"

Zhang Chenguang waved his hands again and again, "No, BMW is very good."

Having said that, Zhang Chenguang is someone who has been abroad, has seen the world, and knows super-luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

When he thought about it, Xia Jingxing, a dignified billionaire, was indeed too low-key to drive a BMW 5 Series.

While driving, Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Actually, I'm not a rich person. The company is rich, but it doesn't mean I'm rich. We are still in the stage of starting a business, and we won't say that we spend money to buy luxury cars..."

After listening to Xia Jingxing's introduction, Zhang Chenguang knew a little more about the Internet.

It turned out that the more than 50 million US dollars raised belonged to the company, and Xia Jingxing, as the company's major shareholder and chairman, could not arbitrarily dispose of the money.

However, he didn't think that Xia Jingxing's worth was very low, because Xia Jingxing also said that in a few years, when the company went public and stocks could be traded freely, he would really become a rich man.

Xia Jingxing drove to Chinatown, parked his car at the entrance of Hongyun Restaurant, and entered the restaurant with Zhang Chenguang.

After sitting down in the private room, Xia Jingxing introduced: "The Chinese food in this store is very authentic. You just arrived in the United States today, so I should take care of you."

Zhang Chenguang smiled and said, "Brother Xia, thank you so much, I don't even know what to say."

After the two ordered the dishes, they chatted casually.

At this moment, Qiu Zhiyi wearing a chef's uniform knocked on the door and walked in.

"Brother Xia, are you taking care of our business again today?"

Qiu Zhiyi's white chef uniform was covered with stains, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

When Xia Jingxing saw the other party like this, he should have known that he was here and rushed over from the kitchen on purpose.

Every time he dined here, only Qiu Zhiyi would come over to chat and drink two glasses of wine when he was free.

"Yup!"

Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded towards the other party, beckoning the other party to sit down.

"This is Qiu Zhiyi, Brother Qiu, the chef of Fortune Restaurant, my friend..."

"This is Zhang Chenguang, who just retired from the French Foreign Legion and is now a security consultant for Facebook..."

Xia Jingxing introduced the two of them to each other, and then the two quickly became acquainted.

Qiu Zhiyi showed admiration on his face when he heard that Zhang Chenguang single-handedly defeated seven or eight little blacks in Milan and relieved Xia Jingxing.

At this time, the dishes were slowly served, Qiu Zhiyi filled a glass of wine, got up and toasted Zhang Chenguang.

"Brother Chenguang is going to show you a chivalrous spirit, I have to toast you.

I, Lao Qiu, have no other skills, so I can cook two dishes. In the future, as long as Brother Chenguang comes to eat at my place, say hello, and I, Lao Qiu, will personally take care of you. "

The words are very simple, but Xia Jingxing can see that Qiu Zhiyi is a chivalrous person who admires Zhang Chenguang from the bottom of his heart and draws his sword to help.

In this increasingly indifferent society, when something happens, let alone strangers you don't know, sometimes even relatives and friends won't help you.

Zhang Chenguang smiled and had a cup with Qiu Zhiyi and drank it all.

The three of them ate vegetables and chatted.

After three rounds of drinking, Qiu Zhiyi looked at Xia Jingxing and said slowly, "Brother Xia, I may have to leave this store in a while."

"Ah? Are you leaving? Where are you going? Are you going back to China?"

Xia Jingxing was very surprised and said that Qiu Zhiyi took the same flight as him to the United States.

It's only been more than two years now, and you're leaving?

Qiu Zhiyi's face was flushed because he drank a few glasses of wine, he waved his hand, "I'm not going back to China, I'm going to open a Chinese restaurant by myself."

"That's a good thing!"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Are you planning to start your own business and be your own boss?"

Qiu Zhiyi was not polite, and said with a smile, "People, you have to pursue a little bit.

I have stayed in the United States for more than two years, and I have gradually become familiar with the local society. Even in English, I can chat with foreigners.

So, I just wanted to go out on my own to see if I could make a career out of it.

I don't think about being rich and expensive, I am satisfied to have my own store and the business is booming. "

Xia Jingxing nodded, this eldest brother thought very grounded.

Many people who came to the United States for business development also developed step by step in this way.

Xia Jingxing asked, "Then where do you plan to open your store? Should it be far away from San Francisco's Chinatown?"

Qiu Zhiyi nodded, "Yes, I definitely can't steal my cousin's business, I will keep a certain distance from his store to avoid competition.

In fact, my cousin is also very supportive of me going out and opening a store. He even invested a sum of money in me to support my business. "

"Your cousin, you're a very nice guy! I'll give you a hand to develop in the United States, and now I'll give you money."

Xia Jingxing could feel the unity of the people of Fujian Province, and the clan consciousness was very strong.

Pay attention to relatives helping relatives. If a person wants to start a business, he does not need to seek external financing. Relatives have internal support. Many don’t even need to type an IOU.

"Yes, my cousin is really nice and has helped me a lot."

Qiu Zhiyi nodded and smiled, and then said, "Now I want to open a Chinese restaurant, I hope you can give me some advice."

Xia Jingxing was stunned, then laughed, "I don't know Chinese food, if you want to make a website, I can give you some advice.

But in the catering industry, you are really embarrassing for me. "

Qiu Zhiyi smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, everything works.

In fact, various industries have the same goal, they are all doing business, and there are similarities.

Anyway, you can say whatever you want. "

Xia Jingxing smiled, this old man is really a clever little ghost, let himself be his advisor.

How do you point to yourself? A whole South Beauty?
