With its red façade and cornices, this Chinese restaurant near ULCA is small but exquisite, especially the taste of Chinese food is pure, and the business is quite good.

It has to be said that at this time, the proportion of Asian students in American universities has been surprisingly high. For example, in the science and engineering and engineering departments where Jing Jian works, Asians have exaggerated to 20 or 30%. Perhaps there is such a guarantee of customer supply, so that this Chinese restaurant has not been completely Westernized!

Due to its proximity to the sea, the seafood here is quite fresh. In a private seat, a table of "shrimp soldiers and crab generals" was ordered, and a bottle of liquor imported from Baodao was held, and Jing Jianzheng and Hirata Yasu were chatting.

"This wine is a little worse, not in the raw materials, the process, but mainly in the wine-making environment. Some of China's famous liquors have existed for hundreds of years, and they have long formed a very subtle natural cycle, so the taste of the wine made there is particularly pure. ”

"That's true, it should be the same as French wine. The wines there have a very long history and extraordinary tastes. But when it comes to seafood, we have to say that we have Dongying cuisine. ”

"I admit that your Dongying cuisine is very fresh and distinctive, but the number of dishes is not very large......"

"Hehe, of course this can't be compared with you China. However, the American cuisine does not represent much. Bramble, when are you coming to Dongying, I'll take you to a few good places......"

“......”

This stock market crash also affected Yasu Hirata. Shares of his AU company plummeted. Although he listened to Jing Jian's suggestion and sold all the tradable shares in time, all those restricted shares have been smashed in his hands, and if he leaves the market now, not only will he not make money, but he may lose hundreds of thousands.

However, Yasushi Hirata's personality can be said to be gentle, but it can be said to be very worldly. didn't care about the small loss on the books at all, and deliberately went to Los Angeles, while taking the opportunity to fool around with Junko Sekura, while thanking Jing Jian again.

"Bramble, thanks to your advice this time. Otherwise, if you lose hundreds of millions of yen, it will be difficult to listen to the family's words. Yasu Hirata raised his glass and toasted Jing Jian.

After drinking it all in one gulp, Jing Jian smiled: "Actually, there is no need to worry at all. Hirata-kun, now that the hype of high-tech stocks has just begun, your restricted shares, just keep them in your hands for a few years, and you will definitely have a satisfactory return. However, I am not very optimistic about this AU company. ”

A computer company that has never heard of in the future will definitely be bankrupt or acquired by Microsoft and other companies, and even if there is a high-tech concept, it will be delisted sooner or later.

Hirata Kang nodded, agreeing with Jing Jian's opinion: "I'm not optimistic about this company either. The founders were so noisy that I wondered if they were starting a company or preparing for a duel. Bramble, but you're to blame for this. ”

"Blame me?" Jing Jian was a little strange.

"Yes. Yasu Hirata smiled and nodded, "I knew you would start a high-tech company, so I would have invested in you." Ha ha. ”

It turned out to be the iceberg. Jing Jian said with a smile: "Maybe after a while, Bingshan will raise $2 million in the first round of financing and sell 10% of the shares, if you are interested, I will leave you a part of the shares." ”

Riding on the east wind of Internet stocks, Jing Jian has the confidence that he can basically operate the iceberg company to be listed on the NASDAQ. Of course, you must not go it alone, you need to go through multiple rounds of financing, which is also the rule of the game. Besides, in the matter of the loan from Hirata Bank, Hirata Yasu also helped a lot, and Jing Jian always wanted to express his gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Hirata Yasushi heard it: "Hehe, Bramble, some of it is too little, I will give you 2 million when I go back, and give me 10% of it." ”

"Eh?" was so bold that Jing Jian was taken aback, is this the rhythm of not making money?" "Hirata-kun, I remind you that I am preparing to refinance in half a year, when Bingshan's business has already been carried out, and I can basically see the long-term prospect clearly. ...... you now?"

"Haha. Hirata Kang smiled and waved his hand, "I invested in you, Jing Jun, and you are not an iceberg polar bear at all." Hahaha!"

"Huh?" For a moment, Jing Jian actually felt a sense of impress, because Hirata Yasu actually said the essence of venture capital. You must know that a high-tech company with an investment of only $500,000 is still in the preparatory stage, and it can actually raise 2 million yuan and be valued at 20 million yuan? So how to judge whether there is investment value? In addition to Meng, it can only depend on the ability of the founder.

However, immediately afterward, Yasu Hirata exposed his true nature: "Hehe, Jing Jun, I said that I wanted to start a business this time, and my mother secretly gave me 1 billion, if I don't have to invest in it, I'm afraid that those women will soon come over to entangle." Wine beauty, I just love this romantic dream. Bramble, you ......"

Secretly mourned for Yasushi Hirata's mother for ten seconds. Jing Jian suddenly thought that in the history of Internet stock venture capital, it seems that there is a Dongying person who has become a legend. So Jing Jian suggested: "Hirata Jun, to be honest, your father and brother are all handsome for a while, and it will be difficult for you to occupy any key positions in family affairs in the future." So why don't you get into the emerging industry? The industry has broad prospects, and the high growth in the future will continue for at least two or three decades. ”

Hirata Yasu immediately became interested: "Don't hide it from Jing Jun, I also have such a plan." Investment, short-term listing, reinvestment, re-listing, ....... It doesn't take a lot of effort and it's ...... Stimulate. Hahaha. Jing Jun, are you interested, the two of us cooperate?"

"Of course......

“......”

The interaction with Yasu Hirata is a rare relaxation for Jing Jian. In Jing Jian's eyes, Hirata Kang is sometimes innocent and cute, and when he really meets someone with bad intentions, he is guaranteed to deceive him in a daze. But on the other hand, in addition to the strong aura of Yasushi Hirata, that kind of trust in friends can be said to be quite difficult. Therefore, Jing Jian simply pointed out a clear path for him. At this stage, if you can insist on investing in network technology stocks, it will be difficult to succeed.

Today's meeting is of course casual in nature, and the two of them are nothing more than small talk. However, friendship and friendship are premised on friendly exchanges. And within a few days, the negotiation team of the Hirata consortium resumed negotiations, and as soon as they came up, they gave a "big gift" - giving Jing Jian a loan of 10 billion yen for three years.

Of course, this is a conditional loan amount, and it is not a matter of giving money now. Instead, there is a project, and after the approval is passed, a project will be loaned. Also, this project must be in cooperation with the Hirata Foundation.
