The plane landed in San Francisco, and after leaving the airport, Chen Haoming immediately took Xi Xiaoding to the second-hand car market, and chose a Volvo according to his own vision. And the price is not cheap, second-hand costs 8,000 US dollars.

Xi Xiaoding shouted after paying the money, the seat thief of this car didn't say that the gear lever was not smooth, but fortunately, the accelerator and brake were OK, which made Xi Xiaoding not turn his face with Chen Haoming - he originally wanted to choose a light RB car.

Volvo follows the highway all the way south and takes exit 35 onto the expressway. This highway is the dividing line between the Santa Clara Valley and San Jose. On the north side of the highway, factories are adjacent to each other. To the south, high-tech enterprises have sprung up.

Santa Clara Valley, the world's Silicon Valley. It is the birthplace of the semiconductor industry, the base camp of future interconnection technology, and a paradise for countless young people in the IT industry to chase their dreams, leading the global technology for 50 years.

It was not until the 10s of the next century that Xia Guo spread the wings of the mobile Internet and announced that he would return to the track.

Along the way, Su Yuanshan's face was calm, he watched the factory disappear in silence, and then the famous mark, Silicon Valley, appeared in front of him.

......

Entering Silicon Valley Street, Xi Xiaoding found a phone booth and pulled over, put Chen Haoming down and asked him to paging back, and then turned his head to look at Su Yuanshan: "Why aren't you excited at all?"

Su Yuanshan withdrew his gaze from the two huge letters of HP in front of him, and smiled: "What's there to be excited about, I don't come here to look for a job." ”

Xi Xiaoding smiled and shook his head, he had been observing Su Yuanshan since the road, thinking that this kid would definitely be excited when he arrived in the famous Silicon Valley, but he didn't expect to be calmer than himself. However, he had to admit that Su Yuanshan was right, others came here to chase their dreams, and Su Yuanshan's dreams ...... Silicon Valley is not a great place to be.

Chen Haoming hung up the phone, and after getting into the car, he stared at Su Yuanshan with a playful face, and saw that Su Yuanshan was a little inexplicable.

"Senior Brother Chen, what kind of eyes are you, your girlfriend is still behind. ”

Qin Si smiled and slapped Chen Haoming.

"Ahem...... Guess who just paged me? Well, you can't guess. ”

Chen Haoming didn't continue to hang Su Yuanshan's appetite: "Just now, someone from IBM asked you to meet at the Fields Cafe and said that they wanted to talk about something. I was about to call you to answer the phone, but the other party said that I would hang up the phone in an hour. ”

Su Yuanshan raised his eyebrows, he and Xi Xiaoding glanced at each other, and both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

IBM was able to send a pager to Chen Haoming to find Yuanxin! Is this a job done by IBM? This Nima is a job done by the FBI, right?

Xi Xiaoding frowned and looked at Su Yuanshan: "I know the Fields Cafe, just two streets ahead, you decide whether to go or not." ”

Su Yuanshan licked his lips and suddenly smiled: "Go, of course you have to go! If you don't go, how do you know what medicine is sold in the other party's gourd? Wait an hour...... I don't believe he can tie me up here!"

Everyone in the car laughed.

In everyone's opinion, Su Yuanshan's words are purely a joke - even if they have deep feelings for the motherland, they have to admit that the reason why this valley under their feet is called the place where the world's dreams set sail is because it is full of opportunities and fairness, and it is a place that is purely more than intelligence and creativity. Kidnapping? It's only in movies, and even if it's movies, it doesn't discredit it.

It's a paradise open to talent from all over the world.

So no one saw the disdain in Su Yuanshan's eyes.

......

"Excuse me, who should I talk to?"

After introducing each other, Bresman leaned back, played with the pen in his hand, and looked at the five people in front of him with interest.

Three men and two women, the number of people is very in line with a standard entrepreneurial team. But he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for five people to develop such powerful industry software as Yuanxin EDA.

Xi Xiaoding turned his head and looked at Su Yuanshan: "It's better for you to come." ”

Su Yuanshan didn't shirk either, he blew off the heat of the coffee, took a sip, and tilted his head to look at Bresman, who was in his early forties, with a white shirt, a tie, and a brown suit. Although he has a beard, he looks like he has been carefully trimmed.

This man is not a technocrat, he should be in the market, or simply the investment department of IBM. Su Yuanshan made a judgment in his heart. Thinking of this, Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "Mr. Bresman, can I ask first, how did you find us?"

"Oh, Wonder Boy's name spread all over Silicon Valley yesterday. Bresman turned around the pen, glanced at Xi Xiaoding and replied with a smile: "Although this Mr. Xi Xiaoding rejected IBM's offer half a year ago, a colleague recognized him yesterday." ”

"I don't know if you've heard of a rule - you only need to contact six times at most, and you can find anyone in the world. Bresman sat up straight and stared at the eighteen-year-old: "This is enough to show our sincerity. ”

Su Yuanshan nodded, agreeing with this explanation. After all, it was easy to find his mentor through Xi Xiaoding, and then it was natural to find Chen Haoming.

"We Silicon Valleyers have always hated beating around the bush, so before I show you this document, I need to make sure you have the right to dispose of Yuanxin EDA. Bresman stared at Su Yuanshan and asked.

"I have. Su Yuanshan nodded again.

"Then fill in the numbers and sign it. ”

Bresman opened the folder and saw that there was a draft contract for the transfer of software ownership that had been drawn up, with three signatures left blank, of which the blank space in the transfer amount column was a printed box, and a total of nine spaces before the decimal point could be filled in arbitrarily.

Meaning, can be nine nines.

Qin Si's coughing voice came from behind her, and she said leisurely in Chinese: "If the oil company wants to buy your house, it means that there must be oil under your house." ”

Everyone smiled in unison, and Yang Yiwen covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

Bresman's face gradually sank, this sudden, Chinese he did not understand made him feel extremely offended.

Su Yuanshan shook his head with a smile and translated the sentence just now into English to Bresman. The latter was slightly stunned, and his eyes immediately became sharp.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bresman, but a billion dollars is really attractive enough. But...... You know, yesterday afternoon alone, we received close to 100 million orders. ”

Su Yuanshan pushed away the document and said with a slow smile: "If you are representing IBM's IC design department, I would be happy to sign an in-depth cooperation agreement with you." ”

Bresman stared at Su Yuanshan quietly: "Your fee standard is an annual fee, are you sure that this time next year, Yuanxin EDA can still maintain its advantage?"

"I'm sure sure, for sure. ”
