Chapter 156: Good Luck (3/4)

The reason why I chose Yale University was because I was bored after staying in Silicon Valley, and I wanted to change the environment for a while before coming here.

The campus environment is very beautiful, Su Mu walked by the side of the road, and many students turned their eyes to him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wall Street Journal published news about Penguin last year, clearly stating that the founder's name was "Leon Sue", who was studying at Yale University, many students would not even know that their school had such a great guy.

was on the phone with James, Spider Software Technology Company is currently preparing to develop a second product, and now this company has only twenty-one employees, and even Su Mu himself wonders how there can be such a high valuation from an institution.

He had been explaining to James for more than ten minutes, but this guy still didn't understand what kind of program Su Mu wanted to develop, and he was so angry that he planned to go back to California in person.

At this time, Su Mu suddenly heard someone say that Vice President George W. Bush would come to Yale University this afternoon to visit his alma mater and give a speech, so he changed his tone and told James: "Don't discuss it for the time being, and we will go back to the company tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and we will talk again, OK?"

"Okay, IBM has assembled a supercomputer, I heard that Boeing also bought a supercomputer, do you think our company is ......"

Su Mu had a headache when he heard the word "supercomputer", even the most rudimentary model would cost millions of dollars to buy, and interrupted: "When the market value of our company reaches the height of IBM or Boeing, I will definitely buy one, and it is a complete waste to buy it now, die, I will not pay for it." ”

"It's always a good idea to try, then we'll talk when we meet. ”

James hung up the phone.

The mobile phone was a little smaller than in previous years, but it was still quite large, and Su Mu was about to put it in his backpack when he suddenly noticed someone tapping him on the shoulder.

When I looked back, I saw the smiling face of a blonde girl.

The appearance is both strange and familiar, wearing a formal suit, a white shirt with a black women's suit, a pair of black high heels on his feet, and his hair is blown by the wind.

She smiled and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Dollar on the move, do you remember me?"

"Lily?"

Su Mu's tone was very uncertain: "Lily Temple, I haven't seen you for so long, you have changed so much, are you also studying at Yale?"

Seeing that Su Mu really recognized herself, Lily smiled even brighter, shook her head and replied: "I don't have the ability to make money for some people, so I got an internship job as an assistant in Mr. Bush's campaign team, and I am still studying at Brown University in Rhode Island." ”

"It's a great school, it's a great job, and it looks like Vice President Bush is really coming to our school, and I just voted for him, no thanks. ”

Considering the background of this junior high school classmate, Su Mu did not doubt that Lily's family had the strength to send her to Vice President Bush's campaign team to be "gilded".

I didn't have access to the upper class before, but I later learned that the surname "Temple" in Los Angeles represents only a top family that holds part of the shares of Bank of America.

Although it was only a small number of shares, it was Bank of America! The first time she heard the news, Su Mu thought of Lily, if nothing else, her family should have been born in this family.

Combined with the important position of Bank of America in the California consortium, it is normal for her to enter the campaign of the vice president of the United States, and wealthy families either advise their children to enter business or politics, in order to ensure the vitality of the family, these two paths are the most appropriate.

Although few people have mentioned the major consortia, but in the United States, the influence of consortia is everywhere, and ordinary people can't reach it.

Lily was amused by his words, and asked rhetorically: "Why do you want me to thank you? It should be Mr. Bush who thanked you, and it's not me running for president of the United States, I saw your news in the newspaper, and it's hard to believe that you have made so much money in just a few years, and the last time I went to your supermarket, it was just a small company." ”

"Luckily, the timing of the start-up is good, I feel that the IT industry is all in a bubble, take Spider for example, it makes me lose about $20,000 a day, just because the number of users is increasing, and the valuation is constantly rising, and it is not actually profitable. ”

Su Mu is not modest, the company has developed so big, he thinks about it occasionally, and he thinks it is incredible.

If you want to say that Qugou Supermarket is lucky to succeed in the old Wal-Mart road, then the success of Penguin and Speder is a coincidence, just in time for the IT industry to boom, and it is not difficult to make money in this era, provided that you find the right positioning.

Take Bill Gates, for example, who currently has more wealth than Sumu, and in just three years, many billionaires have emerged in Silicon Valley, including Oracle founder Larry Ellison, several co-founders of Sun Microelectronics, and so on.

Even Michael Dell of Dell's company is worth hundreds of millions of dollars because of the creation of a brand, and the global output value of the IT industry exceeded 100 billion US dollars last year, and it is in a stage of rapid growth, and many people are making money.

Some people put forward an idea and get tens of millions of dollars in financing the next day, so they broke through the net worth of tens of millions of dollars, and some people accompanied the company to go public and became super-rich overnight, these are the current situation in Silicon Valley.

Lily smiled, looked at Su Mu, all the clothes were famous brands, and they matched very well...... Ordinary, wearing a Patek Philippe on her hand, but carrying an ordinary school bag, which is very in line with the memory in her mind.

Su Mu's parents are not tall, so that his height stops at 1.8 meters, and his face has clear lines, which can barely be called handsome.

When they reunited at the age of twenty, Lily didn't tell Su Mu because she knew the news that he was studying here, so she took the opportunity to go out for a walk.

Whether it was going to high school or going to Brown University, she didn't have a few years in the public school Castellal, which made her feel real, and she had a little impression of Su Mu, and she came to find old classmates by the way, but she didn't mix other emotions, and the relationship between the two was average before, and they weren't even friends.

Changing the subject, he said to Su Mu: "You are still the same, not interesting at all, and you are not going to invite me to a cup of coffee?" Leon, donate two thousand five hundred dollars, and in return, I will take you to meet Mr. Bush." ”

Her understanding of this world is far deeper than that of Su Mu.

At present, the chances of Vice President Bush being elected are very high, and there is a huge difference between the fact that many wealthy people come to make friends with each other when they are vice president and when they meet after they become president.

clearly knew that Su Mu had no backers, he was originally a poor boy living in Chinatown, and once the company was targeted by those hungry wolves, it would probably be bad, so he wanted to help out of kindness.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu shook his head and said, "It's okay to have coffee, but what are you doing when you see Vice President Bush, I don't plan to go to work in the White House." ”

Lily had a strange look in her eyes and said something seemingly unrelated: "It's good luck that you can make such a big business." ”

"Well, I didn't remember when I was a kid, but I caught Franklin in a pile of things, and my grandfather found someone to help me tell my fortune, and he also said that I could make a fortune......"
