Tomorrow is Independence Day, and the Bay Area has turned on the roadside lights and the Star-Spangled Banner on the doorstep of every house. The Bay Area at night, although quiet, is not deserted.

Just as Zhang Chen was about to turn off the lamp and sleep, the phone rang, Zhang Chen hurriedly picked up the phone, and when he saw the number, it was Su Zhuorui.

"Hey, you'll be back tomorrow, I've got something to look for you. Su Zhuorui said politely.

Zhang Chen was slightly dissatisfied, he had already said that he would not go back in the past two days, what kind of illness did Su Zhuorui make?

Su Zhuorui was also dissatisfied: "Do you think I want to call you so late? I found the lawyer you asked me to find, and they will be there tomorrow morning, if you don't come back, forget it, I told them to book a ticket back to New York. ”

When Zhang Chen heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Good sister, I was wrong, by the way, what's your senior's name?"

Su Zhuorui said with satisfaction: "It's pretty much the same, he's a New Yorker, and his name is Ocasi Williams." Yale's law school also announced that he would be admitted, but he liked the California environment and chose Stanford anyway. He has been practicing at Wachtell Lipton for seven years and is said to be preparing to become a partner, so he can say that he has a bright future. ”

Zhang Chen gasped, he could be a partner-level lawyer at Wachtell Lipton, with an annual income of at least more than $5 million, and whether the other party could take a fancy to his small $400,000 list was really not certain.

Zhang Chen said solemnly: "Sister Su, I understand, I'll rush back early tomorrow morning." He looked up at his watch and said, "Well, it's really not good, I'll rush back now, and I'll be able to take a taxi back to the city soon." ”

Su Zhuorui hurriedly said: "No, no, you can come back tomorrow morning, and he will not arrive until noon tomorrow." ”

Zhang Chen suddenly said suspiciously: "Sister Su, you are so nervous that you won't let me go back now, is there a situation tonight?"

Su Zhuorui said angrily: "There is a P situation, the old lady is the guardian of your little kid and is so busy that she doesn't even have time to make an appointment, and she is busy with your little." ”

Zhang Chen stuck out his tongue, "Haha, then so be it, I'll take a taxi back early tomorrow morning." ”

After walking around the room a few times, Zhang Chen turned on the computer again and sent an email to Viggs, urging them to rush to San Francisco as soon as possible.

Before Zhang Chen could close the computer again, he received a reply from Viggs, and the three of them had already booked a ticket to San Francisco the night after tomorrow. The reason why I haven't contacted Zhang Chen in the past few days is because there are a lot of personal belongings that need to be packed. Now that it has been almost cleaned up, it has been explained clearly to the parents at home, and it will be possible to leave soon.

After reading Viggs's reply, Zhang Chen waved his fist.

OK, just wait until the three parties sit together and sign the agreement, and the OICQ is like a bag at your fingertips.

If nothing else, by the end of the year, OICQ alone will be a billionaire on paper.

As soon as Viggs got up, he received an email from Zhang Chen. He, Wadi and Goldfinger haven't been living together lately, but have gone home and packed separately.

When Zhang Chen asked the three of them to leave Tel Aviv and move to San Francisco, Wadi was more homely and didn't want to move. But both Viggs and Goldfinger see this as a rare opportunity.

The three of them stayed in Tel Aviv to write code because they couldn't help it. The Jews of Israel are similar in their family concept to the Chinese, and after the three of them have completed their military service, they all go home to gnaw at their old age. Fortunately, Israel's welfare protection is relatively good, and you can receive a lot of relief money every month.

But they didn't want to go to Silicon Valley, the holy land of Internet innovation in the world, to start a business, but they didn't have the conditions at that time. But now, Viggs and Goldfinger have an embarrassing encounter in Los Angeles, and they actually meet nobles, not only to invest in them, but also to let them move to Silicon Valley to start a business. How could Viggs and Goldfinger not thank God for their good fortune?

Therefore, the two worked together to persuade Wadi, and finally, the three of them unified their minds and decided to go to Silicon Valley to build a big business.

After Viggs replied to Zhang Chen's email, he was packing up his clothes when Goldfinger broke into his cabin with a videotape.

"Viggs, show you something!" Goldfinger said to Viggs as soon as he entered the room, picked up the water cup on the table, drank a glass of water, and said excitedly to Viggs.

Viggs looked at Goldfinger for some reason, and saw that Goldfinger found his VCR and inserted the tape into it.

What appeared on the screen was a video of CNN's interview with Zhang Chen.

Viggs watched this video dumbfounded, and Goldfinger said with his eyebrows: "Viggs, it's so interesting, our investor is still under 16 years old, and he is just an international student with a student visa." ”

Viggs's first reaction was, he wouldn't be deceived, right? But thinking about the $30,000 settling-in allowance that the three of them got, it didn't feel like it.

Goldfinger said excitedly: "I read the news, so I immediately found this website and took a look, it's so exciting." ”

Viggs wondered, "Could it be that he is also very skilled?"

Goldfinger laughed heartily: "Haha, it's terrible. Come, see for yourself. "Let's use Viggs' computer to open the website and let Viggs see it himself.

Viggs almost sprayed rice at first sight, what is this? useless art fonts, seemingly neat but messy logo layout, garbage color scheme. Everything proves that this site is extremely low.

Viggs was at a loss for more than $5,000 on this website, which completely contradicted his long-standing idea that only by making good products could he make money.

Goldfinger shook his head and said: "It's not five thousand, I did the math, according to the number of grids sold on the website, he has sold 176 grids on this website so far, that is, he has earned at least $17,600." ”

Seventeen thousand six hundred dollars!? Viggs was staggered.

Viggs muttered, "Why don't I think our investor is so reliable?

Goldfinger's eyes lit up and he said: "Of course you want to go, haven't you seen it yet?" Whether it is the earliest San Francisco Chronicle or CNN, in fact, it is a means for our small investor to promote his website, and after CNN's report, I estimate that even if this website cannot be acquired, his 10,000 grids will definitely be sold." I even suspect that the Los Angeles Chronicle, which reported on this incident in the first place, was hired by Zhang himself for propaganda. ”

Viggs frowned: "Even so, the commercial value of this website is not high, why do so many people buy lattices? Could it be that he bought it himself?"

Goldfinger laughed, "Brother, for many people, it's normal to spend a hundred dollars to join in the fun. And when this thing becomes a trend, not only those of us in the industry pay attention, but many people who have never been exposed to the Internet, read the CNN report, and then think that this website only sells 10,000 grids, and it may be impossible to treat this as an investment. ”

"Genius, the man who came up with this idea is a genius. Such a simple and crude business model is just in line with the G-spot of the current Internet boom. I estimate that if the Internet wave passes in a few years, even if anyone thinks of such an idea, they will not be able to make money. It's really good at this point in time. ”
