043 The reception begins
"Jerry, David, are you two here so early?" At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Zhiyuan and David arrived at Li Feng's mansion.
"John, you don't know, David called for an afternoon, and I was so annoyed by him that I had no choice but to come early. Yang Zhiyuan immediately replied with a smile.
"Jerry, no, didn't you say you came early. David then retorted.
"Needless to say, since you two are here so early, although you have already seen this house, I still take you around. Li Feng immediately interrupted the joke between the two and said with a smile.
"Okay, just look at what has changed since you moved in, this is a hilltop mansion, and it's the best in the whole of Los Artous, John, you're going to enjoy it." David turned his gun and joked at Li Feng at this time.
"Then do you want to leave a room for you, you can stay here. ”
"I still love my family. David then smiled and politely rejected.
"Let's go, let's go around. After speaking, he took the two of them into the manor and walked around leisurely.
To be honest, Li Feng is very satisfied with this mansion, which occupies more than twice the size of the Century Manor on the top of Beverly Hill, and is still a newly built manor villa, both in terms of construction and decoration are top-notch, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as magnificent and splendid.
Including the main house, annex building, security room, maid's room, etc., it is indeed a top-notch enjoyment, and it is so cheap, well, compared to Beverly Hills' more than 40 million, it is really cheap.
......
Naturally, with the arrival of Li Feng and Wang Siming, under the arrangement of the top housekeeper brother, the current villa has been completed in terms of decoration, and the whole manor is both modern and has the feeling of a classical manor owner, which is very good.
"John, to be honest, this house is really good, when I have money, I will also build a top mansion here, that is enjoyment. David then said with a smile.
"Soon, as soon as Yahoo went public, the wealth of the two of them swelled rapidly. Li Feng joked to the two with a smile.
"Hmph... , I feel more and more that the two of us are working for you now, no matter how we swell, where can you be so fast!" David glanced at Li Feng and then retorted.
"Wow, David, when did you become so smart, you finally found out. ”
"Fuck off!"
"Haha..."
After walking around, in the envious laughter of Yang Zhiyuan and David, the three of them found a lounge and chatted while drinking coffee and tea.
......
At night, in front of the gate of the manor, watching the huge parking lot stop from time to time, Li Feng greeted the familiar and unfamiliar from time to time, indicating that tonight's drinking party was about to begin.
"Don, old John, Michael, hello, long time no see, welcome! Excuse me, who is this?"
But it was Sequoia Capital and KPCB's three venture capital kings who came, and there was a middle-aged man who came with him, but Li Feng didn't know him, so he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Wow, little John, I don't know this one, well, this is Vinod Khosla, the founder of Silicon Valley's famous Sun Microsystems, and a famous venture capitalist. John Doerr then replied jokingly, well, the two of them, an old John and a little John, are also a short paragraph.
"Oh, you're Mr. Vinod, and though I don't know you, I've admired you for a long time. Li Feng immediately greeted the gray-haired middle-aged man.
"Hello John, it's a pleasure to meet you, today a few of them said that you have a party here, don't mind if you come uninvited. ”
"It's an honor for you to be here!"
After that, Yang Zhiyuan and others chatted together.
......
"Little John, I've been looking for a long time when I received your call, you see, the Romanée Conti in 1977 is a gift to your new home, adding a little bit of flavor to your wine cellar. At this time, Tang Valentine took out a bottle of red wine and joked to Li Feng.
"Wow, Don, you're really bleeding today, you didn't open this bottle of wine last time, but this time it's all out. John Doerr then quipped.
Then everyone gave gifts, and I don't know if it was negotiated or what, it was all red wine, including red wine from Bordeaux and Napa Valley in France.
Immediately seeing that no one had arrived, a few people chatted a little, and they might not be familiar with Vinod Kosla by ordinary people, mainly because they were too low-key.
Many people know the famous venture capital company KPCB, but they don't know that in addition to John Doerr, the king of venture capital, there is also a king of venture capital who is not inferior to John Doerr, that is, Vinod Cosla, one of the most famous partners who later joined KPCB.
If I tell you that Netscape was the first venture capital that he first started with John Doerr and several other investors, before the Internet bubble, the famous Sun Microsystems Company was founded by him, and he is known as the "originator of the optical fiber network industry".
Moreover, people are of Indian origin, and we must admit that there are many computer and Internet masters of Indian origin in Silicon Valley, and India's computer programming technology is very good in later generations, and most of the world's software companies have set up R&D branches in India, which is to take a fancy to a large number of software R&D talents in India, which is naturally cheap and cheap.
......
Originally, Li Feng didn't know about this, but when Li Feng asked people to investigate the most famous Internet companies in Silicon Valley last week, he originally thought that he could find some famous companies in the future, maybe a new source of money, and also to understand the current situation in Silicon Valley.
In fact, Li Feng didn't know anything about Sun Corporation, but he saw the UNIX system of Sun Systems, so he understood what it meant.
Even if Li Feng was illiterate in his previous life, he still knew what the UNIX system represented, but in the early days of the enterprise-level operating system, Microsoft did not fight back, until later after Microsoft came out of 95, it slowly pulled closer, and finally after Microsoft came out of the 2000 system, it was finally defeated by Microsoft, you can know how good it is.
Before the dot-com bubble burst, these companies were the best quality companies, and as long as you bought the shares of these companies and emptied them before the bubble, they were all windfall profits.
Recently, when Li Feng was chatting with Bill Weilibei, he asked him to increase the size of the closed-end fund in the investment company (a bit similar to a deposit bank, with a higher interest rate), and I heard that the effect was good, and a large amount of spare money came in.
Li Feng asked Bill Weilbei to focus on Internet companies and related hardware companies such as Cisco, as long as such companies are listed, they are all absorbing stocks in the stock market, and I don't know if there is a sun company among them. From the information, we know that the focus of Sun Computer Company is hardware, and it is the largest Internet enterprise solution provider in addition to Cisco.
What Li Feng didn't know was that the Sun Company shone in the next Internet tide, with a peak market value of nearly $300 billion in 2000, but unfortunately, with the bursting of the bubble, it almost went bankrupt in just over a year, and later generations were eventually acquired for billions of dollars.
......
Of course, after collecting and reading the information of the Sun Company, Li Feng almost drooled, whether it was the Internet foundation on the hardware or the UNix system on the operating system, as well as those executives.
In particular, a world-famous CEO candidate was found among the executives - Eric Schmidt, yes, the CEO who was later called one of the "Google" troika.
When he saw Eric Schmidt, Li Feng was completely moved, isn't he looking for a manager who can fully control the Internet company, and there is a more suitable person than this Eric Schmidt.
Maybe it's really a dream day and night, just as Li Feng was chatting with several Silicon Valley bigwigs, an unfamiliar voice full of surprise came from the side.
"Hello Mr. Li, thank you for the invitation, Mr. Khosla, you are here too?"
