Bill Campbell opened his mouth and wondered, "Zack, I'm sorry, uh, are you, are you overly sensitive?" I don't feel the malicious discrimination against the Chinese people from Steve, Steve is a person who is really open-mouthed sometimes, but basically there is no racist concept. Well, after all, his biological father is also an Arab. ”

Jobs's biological father, Abdulfata Jandli, was a Syrian immigrant, and in fact, in terms of character and talent, Jobs inherited a lot from his biological father.

His biological father's accomplishments were far less than his, but as a generation of Syrian immigrants who were able to become a lecturer at a university in the United States, and then known as a business elite and the president of a casino in Las Vegas, Abdullah was good enough.

Moreover, he has passed on this excellence to his own children, both of whom are exceptional.

In addition to Jobs, Abdullah later married and had a daughter. And this daughter has become a very famous family, reporter, and media person when she grows up.

Passing on his abilities to the next generation of colleagues, the elder Abdullah also passed on his scumbag side to Jobs. After the birth of his daughter, the elder Abd abandoned his daughter, and his wife took the daughter to remarry.

And Jobs, after giving birth to his illegitimate daughter, also abandoned her, and even flatly denied that it was his daughter.

It wasn't until his daughter was about to grow up that Jobs repented and began to repair the relationship with his daughter.

Zhang Chen smiled, "I didn't accuse him of racial discrimination, in fact, what I just said was cultural discrimination, and this discrimination was caused by his shallowness." ”

"Steve Jobs has a split personality and likes to face everything with an absolute attitude, black and white, either/or, either a genius, or a dog ****, similar to, um, right, diode. ”

Bill Campbell was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Diode? This metaphor is so wonderful, I'm sure Steve must have liked it." ”

Zhang Chen also laughed twice: "As we all know, Jobs likes Dongying culture very much, and even tried his best to integrate Dongying aesthetics into his own products. His jealousy and worship of Dongying made him very envious of the perverted artistic aesthetics of Dongying Ju and the knife, and what he didn't understand was that Dongying's so-called aesthetics were carrion piled up by relying on strong economic ability, and the Chinese culture he looked down on was the source and ancestor of all East Asian cultures, but the weakness of nearly a hundred years has made this originally shining civilization and culture fall a thick layer of dust. ”

In the final analysis, Jobs, like everyone else, was not so rebellious, not as countercultural as he claimed to be, he was just an admirer of wealth, but with a coat of aesthetics and culture on his greedy face. ”

Bill Campbell was dumbfounded: "Zack, are you sure you don't want to reconcile with Steve? ”

Zhang Chen shook his head, "No, I won't reconcile with him." ”

Bill Campbell asked, "Is it because of these nonsensical things you said?"

Zhang Chen shook his head, "Actually, there is only one real reason. ”

Bill Campbell wondered, "What is it?"

Zhang Chen said lightly: "I hate him." ”

Bill Campbell was choked and speechless for a long time, what other tricks could there be? People can hide their love for someone and their hatred of someone, but only the emotion of "disgust" cannot be concealed at all.

In this sense, "disgust" is more powerful than "love" and "hate".

Bill Campbell sat down on the couch in a huff, "Zack, I know why you and Steve didn't reconcile and hated each other. ”

Zhang Chen raised his eyelids, "Oh?"

Bill Campbell said angrily: "Because you are both bastards, the same people! That's why you know each other so well, hell, two people who have only met once, but they seem to see each other through." ”

Zhang Chen was interested, "What did he say about me?"

Bill Campbell picked up the yogurt on the table: "It's pretty much the same as you said, forget it, I don't care, since you don't want to transfer the trademark, I'll tell him." ”

Zhang Chen comforted Bill and said: "No way, some people are born to look down on each other, maybe Jobs and I belong to this relationship." By the way, Bill, I'd really like to ask you about what John Doerr proposed to me. Do you think I should accept his offer?"

Bill Campbell groaned, "I don't know much about the specifics of your case, but at least John Dooer is right about one thing, KPCB's IPO operation ability is really strong." ”

Zhang Chen was a little suspicious: "I also know that the IPO conditions of the NASDAQ are not very harsh, even if Amazon is now applying for listing on the main board, only the number of shareholders needs to be improved, and the others are almost met." ”

Bill smiled: "It's not that simple, for example, NASDAQ requires at least three market companies to underwrite, which three market companies can you contact? But if it's KPCB, whether it's Morgan or Merrill Lynch or Blackstone, they will rush to cooperate with them." In this way, the enterprise will have a great initiative in determining the issue price. But a small company like Tinder, even with IDG, is it difficult to have such an effect, right?"

Zhang Chen was silent after hearing this, indeed, whether it is in his previous life or in his present life, he has no experience in operating the listing of enterprises, and it is more on paper.

IPO (Initial Public Offering), these three letters are easy to say. But in previous lives, how many companies that had made a name for themselves were shut out of the open market.

Sun Hongbin's Shunchi, only one step away, fell at the door of the IPO, if Shunchi in 05 years of successful IPO, will not fall because of the broken capital chain, but also to catch up with the real estate boom after 09, maybe it can really become the king of real estate beyond Wanke and Hengda.

It's a pity that whether it is Hong Kong stocks or U.S. stocks, the scrutiny is too strict, and in the end, Shunchi still regrettably bids farewell to the huge stage of Huaxia Real Estate.

Bill Campbell continued, "Plus, there's an added benefit to working with KPCB. ”

Zhang Chen asked, "What benefits?"

Bill Campbell smiled and said, "John Doerr, if you can deal with John Doll directly, you can learn a lot from him." John Doerr is one of the people I admire the most in Silicon Valley, and KPCB is KPCB only because they have John Doerr. ”

"KPCB's core competency is John Doerr. ”

Bill Campbell shook the car keys in his hand, "It's a very lucky thing to be able to play and learn from John Doerr, and it can speed up your growth." Needless to say, it's already past five o'clock, I have to hurry home, and my wife is still waiting for me to go back for dinner. Do you want me to send you?"

Zhang Chen reacted: "Oh, no need, my house is less than a mile away from here, just walk back." ”

Zhang Chen took out the money, paid the bill, and gave the waitress a tip of five dollars.

The waitress of the café should be a Stanford student who comes to work part-time, without a basic salary, and relies on the daily tips of the guests, and the income is also good.

Bill drove a Chrysler 300, got into the car and waved at Zhang Chen, the two greeted each other with a happy Thanksgiving, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
