After sending Colin and the others away, there was still some time before the end of work, and Evan talked to Roy about what he thought of Silvermountain.

Silver Mountain, a department temporarily hanging under the alphabet company, will become an independent professional company when the time comes, positioning itself as a venture capital. However, neither Evan nor the interim head of the department, Roy Edwin, made this request, did not have a clear idea of how a so-called venture capital firm should operate.

Evan is a "man who has been", but he has only heard the legends of venture capital firms, such as the Sequoia that invested half of the NASDAQ. But that didn't stop him from throwing out the concept of venture capital.

And, in fact, the venture capital industry has not yet taken shape at this time. The so-called venture capital is just some personal behavior, mainly the rich with small capital, which is neither large-scale nor formal. For example, Evan was a venture capitalist with McDonald's.

Venture capital in the true sense of the word didn't emerge until the seventies, when the long-term capital tax rate was cut in half, and there was a huge amount of money pouring into the industry.

By the way, a member of the Rockefeller family made no small contribution to the modernization, regularization, and scale of venture capital. This man's name is Lawrence Rockefeller, and he is the elder brother of David Rockefeller, who came to California to take charge of the expansion of the Rockefeller consortium.

In Evan's previous life, Lawrence Rockefeller and Apple, the birth of Intel Corporation was closely related to its growth.

Of course, the world will certainly not develop like this again.

Because Evan registered the trademarks of Apple and Intel early.

This is not to say that he intends to adopt these names. They're just the product of having fun some time ago (last year, to be exact) when you were tired of heavy paperwork.

Roy was born as an accountant and worked carefully and carefully as his basic quality. Therefore, although I had some ideas about Evan looking for something for him temporarily, it still took me a while to find information and someone to consult, and finally I had a basic concept of venture capital.

That's why he was able to put forward that special clause in the contract.

Evan also noticed this detail, which is why Roy stayed.

"BOSS, I think it is very important to conduct a preliminary investigation of venture capital, not only to see whether the idea of the project has a future, but also to examine the execution and competitiveness of the group......

"Venture capital is more concerned about returns than banks that focus on risk-averse support, and only high-yield industries deserve our attention, and general high-yield investments have long been carved up by the wolves of Wall Street, so we may need to focus on those emerging industries......

"I think the company that the boss has recently prepared is quite suitable, should I let Yinshan get involved......

After this conversation, Evan was a little more impressed by Roy, and wondered if after the establishment of the audit department, Roy would be in charge of Silver Mountain.

However, this idea was rejected by Evan himself at the beginning. Silver Mountain won't be the focus for years to come, leaving Roy with the past just to leave people idle.

This is undoubtedly a waste of talent.

"Roy, since you have already started Yinshan, you will continue to be in charge, don't be too anxious to start business for the time being, first take Colin's case as a sample, and accumulate some experience. ”

"You should focus on the preparation of the audit department first. ”

"As for getting Silver Mountain involved in the application of semiconductors...... Don't you know that the main funder is Alphabet?"

At the end of the conversation, Evan quipped, "Or do you prefer a job at Silver Mountain?"

"If that's the case, I can do it for you, too"

Roy waved his hand repeatedly, he was not stupid, the head of the audit department of Alphabet, the future of this position was not comparable to that of an investment department.

Even if its name is big.

"Okay...... It's not too early, so let's talk about it today, you can do it yourself. ”

Roy stood up and took his leave.

At this time, Linda walked in, looked at Evan who was cleaning up the table, and said, "Evan, are you ready to get off work?"

"Yes, you tell Bob to get the car ready. ”

Instead of leaving immediately, Linda asked, "Don't you need me to accompany you?"

"Having Peter Cohen at a banquet should be considered official business. ”

Evan paused in his hand and replied, "No, I'll just go myself." ”

"Linda, you too, don't work overtime every day, otherwise Uncle Sproul will find out, and I'll be in trouble. ”

"Whether you work overtime or not is my business, and you can't control it if you are the boss. ”

Linda choked Evan and turned back to head out.

Where Evan couldn't see, Linda looked disappointed.

About half an hour later, the Phoenix Restaurant.

In the private room that Evan had booked in advance, Peter Cohen and Evan sat opposite each other.

Two of the restaurant's signature seafood dishes are placed on the ornate and intricate tabletop, and the restaurant's manager himself serves as a waiter, holding an open bottle of red wine and refilling Evan's transparent wine glass.

Phoenix Restaurant and Applied Physical Systems are partners and know a thing or two about it, and it is only natural that Evan, a legendary young man, will be offered the highest level of service.

Although Evan didn't want the other party to go through such a lot of trouble, it was not easy to fight back.

After pouring the red wine into the two glasses, the manager stepped aside.

"Come on, Cohen. Evan raised his glass and said, "Let's touch it, it's kind of a dust for you." ”

"Thanks, boss. Peter Cohen followed suit.

The two cups touched lightly in the air, and then both took a sip.

Peter Cohen was the actual executor of the trip to San Francisco, the representative of Evan, and the pressure on him was too great for ordinary people to bear.

You must know that he is directly facing a giant consortium across the United States.

If you change to someone else, on that occasion, you dare to say it twice, let alone directly say the word "against".

Peter took the risk and naturally deserved to be rewarded and courteous accordingly.

Although the weight of a director of the Bank of America was not light, Evan still felt that it was not enough, so he had dinner today.

At the dinner table, Evan was eating food while chatting casually with Peter. After the two of them had eaten almost, Evan served tonight's "main dish".

Evan first politely invited the manager and other waiters out, and then said to Peter: "Cohen, this trip to San Francisco has been hard for you. ”

"There's a good chance you'll only be able to serve a full year as a director, but that's okay, Rick should be able to get a seat in a year. ”

"And I have an idea of where you'll be in a year's time, but I don't know if you're interested. ”

Peter Cohen heard this and fell into deep thought.
