Before Li Yanhong came to the United States, his understanding of Zheng Yan was basically limited to 4510 Technology Company, but since he came to the United States, especially after starting to work, he found that 4510 Technology Company was just the tip of the iceberg.

"I'd rather no one pay attention to me, I've always thought that making a lot of money by being quiet is the way to go. You'll find out later that it's not a good feeling to be courted by the media. Forget it, don't talk about me, talk about yourself, why did you come to New York?"

Because Zheng Yan knew that Li Yanhong's future was extraordinary, he said this, but in Li Yanhong's ears, he thought that Zheng Yan was just talking casually.

"I've been in New York since last year and I'm currently working as a technical consultant at the Dow Jones subsidiary. I was one of the designers of the Wall Street Journal, a Dow Jones company, which was preparing to launch a web-based version of a real-time financial information system. ”

The so-called speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Zheng Yan knows that Baidu's foundation "hyperchain analysis" technology was developed in this process.

"Oh, although Dow Jones is good, and your current position is compatible, but Dow Jones is not a professional computer company after all, haven't you ever thought about finding a professional computer company? Or do you want to start your own business?"

Hearing Zheng Yan's words, Li Yanhong was somewhat moved. He used to work as a senior consultant at IDD, which was later acquired by Dow Jones, and the owner of IDD benefited from millions of dollars, which was a big irritation for Li Yanhong.

But think about it again, he still needs to learn a lot now, and he doesn't have a clear entrepreneurial direction, although Zheng Yan has the intention of supporting himself, but the conditions are still not very mature.

"Forget it, I'm going to train for a few more years. However, if I am going to start a business one day, I will definitely find you as a big financier. ”

Zheng Yan wanted this sentence, and he didn't think about helping the seedlings, so he said with a smile: "Then let's just say it, if you are going to start a business, you must find me for financing." I can assure that the conditions are twice as high as those of an equivalent venture capital firm. No matter what other companies offer, I can give you double the money. ”

Zheng Yan: This

As soon as the words came out, Li Yanhong couldn't figure it out. He didn't make it clear that he had the idea of starting a business at all, why did Zheng Yan give such generous conditions first?

"Okay, since you don't have the idea of starting a business for the time being, then we won't talk about this. Didn't you just say that you were going to get married? What about your girlfriend, who also works at Dow Jones?"

Zheng Yan was naturally clear about Li Yanhong's doubts, but he didn't know how to explain them, so he simply changed the topic.

"That's not it, she's still studying for a Ph.D. in biology at the University of New Jersey, and we met at a gathering of international students in New York, and although we haven't known each other for a long time, I've already decided that she won't marry in this life. ”

Speaking of his girlfriend, Li Yanhong's face was full of happiness, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two was indeed very good.

When he heard that Li Yanhong's girlfriend was studying for a doctorate in biology at the University of New Jersey, Zheng Yan suddenly had the urge to dig people into Shuguang Pharmaceutical, but quickly dispelled this idea.

Although Zheng Yan doesn't know much about Mrs. Li Yanhong, he also knows that Li Yanhong's wife is also a shareholder of Baidu and works in Baidu. The small temple of Shuguang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. may not be able to accommodate this great god.

"By the way, Zheng Yan, you are now the most important target of all financial media, are you interested in doing a TV interview with Dow Jones? I have a friend who has admired you for a long time. ”

Although Li Yanhong has always had Zheng Yan's contact information, he would never contact Zheng Yan because his friend wanted to interview Zheng Yan, but since he met him, he didn't mind mentioning it. In addition, Zheng Yan's attitude towards him is really strange, and he also wants to see if Zheng Yan will agree to his request.

In the past few years of studying and working, he has paid special attention to financial news, especially about Zheng Yan, because of the chance encounter at Beijing University, he almost never let go, knowing that Zheng Yan does not like to appear in front of the media.

"If you work for the Wall Street Journal, a Dow Jones company, you know that I don't like dealing with the media. Some time ago, if it weren't for the fact that elite technology really needed some attention from the outside world, I wouldn't even have that press conference

I won't be in attendance, so I'll forget it. ”

If Li Yanhong himself, who was in charge of the interview, Zheng Yan didn't mind selling him face, but his friend, Zheng Yan was not interested.

Originally, Zheng Yan thought that Li Yanhong would casually say that as long as he refused, he would give up, but the result was not like that at all.

"Zheng Yan, I know your scruples, especially some personal issues, you may be afraid of being dug up by the media. But since you are engaged in the Internet industry, you should know that with the development of the Internet, it may be difficult for such a thing as secrets to exist in the future. ”

"Whatever the problem, it's better to break out early than late. Nowadays, the media has limited power and the scope of dissemination, but as long as there is coverage in this area, the media loses interest. ”

"The more you try to hide, the more the media wants to dig in. Instead of being so passive, it is better to show it generously, and you should understand this truth. ”

"Also, the interviews I've arranged for you are at most about financial things, like your personal issues, and I can assure you that no one will bring them up. After all, this is the Wall Street Journal, not some messy little media. ”

No one should know more about these things than Zheng Yan about what Li Yanhong said, but Zheng Yan didn't expect that Li Yanhong can see these things now. With the growth of the Internet, there really is no secret unless it is some government that wants to hide.

"Well, it's rare for you to make a request, and I can't help but give face. But say it up front, if something sensitive is mentioned, don't blame me for picking on it. Others may be afraid of offending the Wall Street Journal, but I don't take it seriously. ”

Zheng Yan naturally knows what Li Yanhong said, but what he thinks is different from Li Yanhong. Zheng Yan has never thought of actively exposing his privacy, but Zheng Yan can reveal some financial information that everyone is interested in to divert everyone's attention.

"In that case, then let's talk about it, and I'll arrange the interview when I get back. ”

At this point, Li Yanhong has determined that Zheng Yan is indeed a little different from him, but he still doesn't know why.
