Chapter 182: To San Francisco

"By the way, Zheng Yan, so far, I don't know your profession. ”

Through last night's conversation, Bill Miller only knew that Zheng Yan was from Huaxia, but with his understanding of Huaxia, coupled with Zheng Yan's conversation and words and deeds, Bill Miller was very sure that Zheng Yan was definitely not a rich second generation who was waiting for death.

"My identity is a bit complicated, I started my business when I was in college in '87, and now I have a lot of business under my name. But now I am mainly running an investment company, but it has just been established. ”

"I went to the U.S. this time because I was optimistic about a company in your country. As far as I know, the company has already raised several rounds, and I want to see if I can participate in his last fundraising before going public. ”

If it weren't for Bill Miller in front of him, if it were another investor, Zheng Yan might not be so honest.

According to Zheng Yan's knowledge, Bill Miller has been engaged in stock investment and has not been involved in corporate financing, so Zheng Yan is not worried about having another competitor.

"I don't know which company you're talking about, if it's convenient, you can talk to me, maybe I can really give you some advice. ”

Bill Miller learned that Zheng Yan was also an investor, so he naturally wanted to know about his investment direction and compare it with himself by the way.

And Bill Miller is sure that since Zheng Yan said the purpose of his trip, he naturally won't mind his own questions.

"Of course, there's a Cisco Systems company in California that has a networked device that's very interesting because I studied computer science in college. ”

"It's just that I only know the name of their company, the products of their company, and the chairman of their board of directors is Leonard, but I can't contact anyone. ”

When Zheng Yan said this, his tone was inevitably a little depressed. I knew that this was an excellent investment project, but I couldn't find an opportunity to intervene.

"Honey, maybe we can stop by California for a vacation after our vacation here. Bill Miller said to Leslie.

Leslie smiled and nodded, and then said to Zheng Yan, "Okay Zheng Yan, since that's the case, then Bill and I will rely on you." However, if you are by the way, presumably Cisco's last funding round is about to begin. If you want to participate, it's best to get to California as soon as possible. ”

Zheng Yan heard that Bill Miller and the two agreed, and he was so excited that he didn't notice it at all, and the smiles on their faces were a little strange.

"It's really great, as for the matter of investment, we have an old saying in China, which is called "I am lucky if I gain, and I am sorry for my life." There are many good investment opportunities, but there are many more investors. Let's enjoy the holiday for the rest of the day. ”

Zheng Yan didn't plan to go directly to California and then run around like a headless fly.

According to Zheng Yan's plan, Miyuki Aso will go to Miami in the afternoon, and then take a plane to San Francisco, and she will go there two days later. And Miyuki Aso is Zheng Yan's grain and grass.

In the next two days, Zheng Yan and others went out to sea to fish and hunt in the mountains with Bill Miller and his wife.

Although it was only two days, the understanding between them has deepened a lot, and the relationship between Zheng Yan and Bill Miller has also been pulled in a lot.

Two days later, Zheng Yan and his party ended their island vacation, boarded a plane, and prepared to leave for San Francisco.

"Oh Zheng Yan, I realized that it was the wrong decision to stay. Originally, I was a success in front of most people, but through the past two days with you, I realized that I was a complete failure, especially after boarding this plane, this feeling became even stronger. ”

After Bill Miller boarded the plane, he was also shocked by the luxury of the plane and couldn't help but make a joke.

Private jets are not uncommon in the United States, but most of them are for office convenience, and they are basically small business jets, and medium-sized business jets like Zheng Yan are also very rare.

"Okay Bill, we're going to fly for a few more hours, and if the ladies are tired, they can go to the beds in the cabin to rest, and as for us, we'll have to settle in our seats. ”

After two days of getting along, Zheng Yan has become accustomed to Bill Miller's self-deprecation, and the two have also established a good friendship, and they are much more casual in their speech.

After a seven-hour flight, the plane finally arrived at San Francisco Airport.

"Miyuki, thank you for your hard work. ”

Due to the large number of accompanying people, the hotel booked by Miyuki Aso sent a special car to come.

"Zheng Jun, I'm waiting for your reward, so I naturally have to be diligent when I work. Let's go, let's go back to the hotel first. ”

Although Zheng Yan did not clearly say his next investment direction, Miyuki Aso has been looking forward to it for a long time and just wants to end the Cisco affair as soon as possible.

"Okay, Miyuki, let's talk about the progress of the work in the past two days. Have you got in touch with Leonard? Can I meet with him?"

After returning to the hotel, Zheng Yan didn't even bother to rest, and directly asked about Cisco's situation.

"Zheng Jun, I have already contacted Cisco, and Leonard also agreed to meet with you after learning of our intention. ”

"However, listening to the tone of the other party's voice, there are still most coping components, mainly because of our sincerity from afar, I am afraid that the possibility of us being able to participate in financing is not very large. ”

Although Miyuki Aso doesn't think this company has any development potential, looking at Zheng Yan's attention, it is obviously more than any previous investment.

Zheng Yan's attitude made Miyuki Aso, who didn't care much about it, feel a little nervous.

Zheng Yan is also very clear about the purpose of the company's financing before listing. One of the most important points is that the introduction of strategic investors can enhance the company's image and increase the company's stock price after listing.

This is also the reason why most companies will choose well-known venture capital companies for financing.

Yanhuang Investment, as a newly established company, does not have the role of enhancing the company's reputation at all. For public investors, it also does not have the minimum appeal.

As for providing business support and help, Zheng Yan can influence the Huaxia region now, but in today's Huaxia, the application of computers is not popularized at all, and the help for the development of Cisco is minimal.

"Zheng Yan, Leslie and I are going to see two friends in the evening, if you don't mind, you can join us, maybe it will help you. ”

Just as Zheng Yan was thinking hard about countermeasures, Bill Miller said something on the side.
