This time, Carlyle understood Xu Qing's eyes, and Carlyle's expression revealed rejection.

Xu Qing gave Carlyle another look, and then ignored him and said to Alice: "Are you going back to the company now, or continue to take pictures on the Avenue of Stars?"

Alice thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to the company, although I can photograph stars on the Avenue of Stars, those stars are very disgusted with me, and it is almost impossible to win the favor of those stars in this way." ”

It turns out that Alice still knows that this way will disgust those stars, and it is also that Alice is a top student at Berkeley, and her IQ must be high, and her EQ will not be too bad.

"I'll let Carlyle send you back. Xu Qing said.

"Mr. Carlyle is your bodyguard, he can't leave your side, can he?" Alice hesitated.

Xu Qing smiled: "I have 5 bodyguards, and it's okay if I don't have one Carlyle." ”

Carlyle just wanted to speak, Xu Qing's eyes stopped him, and the other 4 bodyguards were very happy with Xu Qing's words, they had been listening to Carlyle's command, Carlyle said that without him, none of them would protect Xu Qing.

The 4 new bodyguards were angry at Carlyle's words, but there was no chance to prove it, and now this opportunity has come.

"Is Mr. Carlyle willing?" Alice said to Xu Qing after glancing at Carlyle.

"Carlyle, would you like to send Miss Alice back to the company?" Xu Qing looked at Carlyle.

Carlyle replied without hesitation: "I have to give the beautiful Miss Alice a company, it's my honor." ”

I'll go, how nice Carlyle said it, Alice was still unhappy to die when she heard it, could it be that Carlyle had changed her temper, Xu Qing thought to herself.

Sure enough, Alice had a happy smile on her face: "Thank you, Mr. Carlyle, for the compliment." ”

"Carlyle, don't rush back, I'm going to Broadway shopping in the afternoon, and you're not the only one to protect you. Xu Qing said.

Carlyle was furious, and then he saw Antson and the others smiling, and he was even angrier, and resolutely took Alice with him.

Xu Qing looked at his watch, at 11:32, when Carlyle sent Alice to the company, it would be lunchtime, and the two should have lunch together.

Xu Qing and Antson found a restaurant on the Avenue of Fame for lunch, and at about 1 p.m., Xu Qing and a group of people appeared on Broadway.

Broadway is dozens of kilometers long, and the last time Xu Qing walked around, it was less than a kilometer.

Unlike women who go shopping, Xu Qing rarely goes to commercial streets, and likes to visit streets with humanities, art and other characteristics.

Walking through these streets can enjoy some unique style of architecture, sculptures, performances, etc., which can enhance Xu Qing's appreciation level.

cough, in fact, Xu Qing doesn't go to the commercial street because Xu Qing basically doesn't have to shop in person, he has a team dedicated to helping him deal with life things.

There are 11 people in this team, 5 bodyguards and Aunt Wu are also members of this team, and a few people are responsible for Xu Qing's clothes matching, item purchases, etc.

Xu Qing walked around for a while, and Carlyle returned.

"Did you and Alice eat together?" Xu Qing gossiped.

"Yes, very romantic lunch. Carlyle smiled.

"Great, keep up the good work. Xu Qing patted Carlyle on the shoulder.

The corners of Carlyle's mouth twitched.

——————————

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Xu Qing came to a relatively remote place in Silicon Valley, looking at the somewhat dilapidated house in front of him, Xu Qing didn't believe that such a house still existed in Silicon Valley.

Xu Qing forgot that the current Silicon Valley is not the Silicon Valley of the future generations and large companies, because of the impact of the American economic recession, the Silicon Valley in the early 90s was like a pool of backwater!

"Eben, are you sure that Mosaic is in this house?" asked Xu Qing with a frown.

In the affirmative, Eben replied, "I'm pretty sure. ”

Xu Qing didn't speak again, went up to the second floor, looked for a while, and finally saw a signboard that said Mosaic.

Pushing open the door, there was a front desk lady who was sitting boredly in a chair reading a magazine, and Xu Qing's sound of pushing the door did not alarm her.

Xu Qing walked to the front desk, knocked on the table, and said, "Hello." ”

The front desk lady looked up and saw Xu Qing at this time, and said with an indifferent expression: "Is there anything wrong with the gentlemen?"

"I have something to do with Mr. Jim and Mr. Mark. ”

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Nope. ”

"What is the name of the gentleman?"

"My name is Xu Qing. ”

"Xu Qing?!" The front desk lady's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked in an uncertain tone, "You are Xu Qing, the author of Harry Potter?"

"Yes. Xu Qing wondered why the front desk lady didn't recognize him at first, and touched his head, only to find that the hat he was wearing was not taken away.

This hat is a bit big, blocking Xu Qing's forehead, the front desk lady is white, it's normal not to see it, the yellow race should be similar in her eyes, not to mention that Xu Qing is still wearing a hat.

The front desk lady confirmed Xu Qing and immediately showed a beautiful smile: "Mr. Xu, please wait a moment, I will tell the two bosses that you are here immediately." ”

Xu Qing waited for more than 20 seconds, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from not far away, and after a while, three people appeared in front of Xu Qing's eyes, one was the front desk lady, and the other two were middle-aged men and young men.

The middle-aged man took the lead in reaching out his hand and said with a warm smile: "Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Jim Clark, the president of Mosaic Corporation. ”

The young man also stretched out his hand and said with the same smile and enthusiasm: "Hello Mr. Xu, I am Mark Anderson, vice president of Mosaic Company. ”

Xu Qing and the two of them finished politely, and followed the two to the president's office, they already knew Xu Qing's intention, and did not express their opinions, but first invited Xu Qing to the president's office.

Entering the president's office, Xu Qing found that there were already 3 people sitting on the sofa inside.

When the three people saw Xu Qing, they were stunned for a moment, and then nodded to Xu Qing, and Xu Qing also nodded in response.

Jim led Xu Qing to sit on the sofa opposite the three people, while Jim and Mark sat on the sofa in the middle.

Jim first said to the middle-aged man among the three people: "Mr. John Doerr, this is Mr. Xu Qing, the author of Harry Potter. ”

John Doerr smiled: "Mr. Jim, I know Mr. Xu, I can often see it in the media, in recent days, Mr. Xu has appeared in the media very frequently, Mr. Xu's prize is very interesting!"

Then John Doerr said to Xu Qing: "Hello, Mr. Xu, I am John Doerr, the president of KPCB. ”

Xu Qing's heart moved, KPCB is the largest venture company in the United States, and has invested in many companies in the computer and Internet industries.

Jim, the president of Mosaic in his previous life, called John and asked him to invest in the Netscape browser that Mosaic was developing.

Initially, KPCB refused to invest because Mosaic had to invest $5 million to own a 25% stake, a request that some of KPCB's partners refused.

But John thought the browser could be the technology that would shape the world economy in the next 10 years, so they persuaded the other partners to invest.

John appeared at Mosaic today to negotiate with Jim and Mark about investing in Netscape.

This is the same as Xu Qing's purpose of coming to Mosaic today, can he compete with John? KPCB is very strong, and John and Jim have a good relationship.
