Chapter 860: Another Wedding (Part I)
There are several tables and chairs scattered on the small lawn, and there are high and low stools and chairs arranged in a staggered manner.
The sun was shining brightly, and guests had to put on their hats or simply hide under umbrellas, with only a few people staring at the shaded paths across from them with interest.
Feng Yiming and Ye Zizi both sat quietly on their chairs, listening to the discussions of the guests next to them with their ears pricked up, only Zhang Miao, who had average English scores in the school, was a little restless.
"It seems that a few people don't know what to do today...... Ye Zizi whispered: "It's really unimaginable, in China, at least you have to start preparing for it more than half a year in advance." ”
Mark prepared...... Well, three months, the main job is to find a suitable excuse to send out invitations. Feng Yiming glanced at the old lady surrounded by people under the parasol, "Facebook's Series C financing ended three days ago, and Microsoft, DST and Li Jiacheng invested a total of more than $500 million, so Mark hurriedly sent out an invitation, fortunately, my visa was already done." ”
Zhang Miao smacked her tongue and said, "That means that the preparation time is actually only three days?"
"That's what people want. Feng Yiming listened with his ears pricked up for a while before he said, "There are no more than ten real guests...... Many people think that our surname is Chen. ”
Ye Zizi glanced at the group of people who were staring at their own character, "I'm quite curious, this groom hasn't heard much of you before." ”
"The last time we came to Silicon Valley, we actually visited, but you didn't stay in Mountain View. Feng Yiming casually explained: "Although it was the first time we met, the connection between us was as early as 2003. ”
In fact, Feng Yiming was very surprised to know that Mark Zuckerberg started his legendary journey a year earlier than in his previous life, when Feng Yiming also tried to intervene, although Mark did not object, but due to the special nature of Facebook, he finally rejected the investment.
But since then, the connection between Feng Yiming and Mark has not been broken, the two are the same age, both are engaged in the IT industry, and they are both self-made, there are too many things to communicate.
The geographical distance has also made the estrangement between the two young people very light, and they have been talking about human resource management, financing and even personal life from a management point of view, the possibilities of various directions in the IT industry, the renewal of social networks.
In the past month or two, under the guidance of Feng Yiming, intentionally or unintentionally, the two began to comment on the differences between New Weibo and Facebook, and once made various ideas about the profit model of social networking sites.
Although Facebook is now extremely hot in the capital market, the number of registered users has increased significantly, and its market share has jumped to the first place in the United States, its profitability is still not high, and at most it can maintain a balanced state.
"I also have a few friends when I was a child in the United States, although the family is wealthy, but many details will be discriminated against, you said that the groom is not low, how can he marry a Chinese......" Zhang Miao muttered in a low voice: "It won't be Wendi Deng again......"
Ye Zizi turned her head to look at her best friend, her eyes confused.
"Your knowledge is quite broad, and you actually know Wendi Deng. Feng Yiming was a little surprised, now the name Wendi Deng is still rare on the domestic Internet, and only occasionally appears in the corners of some lace news.
Although the two are fellow countrymen, and both come from prestigious schools, one is an MBA from Yale University Business School, and the other is a top student at Harvard University, but the two are completely different. Feng Yiming introduced in a low voice: "Mark once mentioned to me that he invited Ms. Chen to join Facebook twice last year, but was rebuffed, and the other party preferred to be a pediatrician. ”
Feng Yiming's words were to the point, and he didn't say it thoroughly.
Wendi Deng looks flamboyant and independent, but in fact, he has always been attached to men, even if he needs to study abroad......
"But. Feng Yiming smiled quietly, "These two are not the standard beauties in the minds of Orientals...... So I didn't plan to let the two of you come over, and even if you did, you wouldn't be too brilliant in dressing. ”
At this time, the noise and applause suddenly sounded from behind, and at some point, the sound of music gradually resounded on the lawn.
Feng Yiming looked up, and a pair of figures appeared at the end of the green path, gradually approaching.
The bride in a white wedding dress appeared in front of everyone with a faint shyness holding the groom's hand.
Mark seemed a little nervous, and reached out and pulled the suit on his body, knowing that he was wearing a hoodie when he was negotiating the details of the financing with Microsoft's Bill Gates...... Today, he is wearing a dark suit and a black tie, and the smile on his face is stiff but also happy.
"Nonsense...... Zhang Miao looked at the couple who walked through the shade of the tree blankly, "obviously very beautiful......
Ye Zizi also nodded slightly in agreement.
Feng Yiming didn't say a word, he knew very well the changes in the hearts of the two girls around him, the wedding dress on the bride's body gave her a great bonus, no matter who it was, the day she was the bride was always beautiful.
There are no streamers in the sky, no bridesmaids and groomsmen composed of dozens of handsome guys and beauties, no famous tycoons from all over the country to congratulate, and even the location is only in the backyard of the groom's house in Palo Altu, but the strong sense of happiness in the air makes everyone present feel the same way.
Although small and low-key, and despite the small number of guests present, there is always a simple process.
Feng Yiming and the three of them stood from a distance and looked at the couple in the crowd, without turning their heads to look, he also knew that the eyes of the two girls around him must be full of envy.
There was laughter in the crowd, Feng Yiming saw that the Chinese grandmother was holding Mark's hand and couldn't help but tell something, and he didn't know if Mark could understand it, anyway, when Feng Yiming once forwarded several domestic news to Mark, the other party was confused.
"I used to think about waiting for the wedding to take place the day after Facebook went public, but a friend of mine told me to ......," Mark said with a laugh: "There is an old Chinese saying that when you start a family, your family comes first, and your career comes later." ”
"I think I'm in love with a Chinese girl, and it seems like I should follow their rules. Mark shouted, "Feng, when are you going to your wedding!"
Everyone turned their heads unexpectedly to look, a handsome Chinese young man was looking at this side with a smile, a well-fitting suit, a straight tie, and a calm demeanor that made people feel good, but what was impressive was the Chinese women standing on the left and right, with different demeanors but all manners.
Feng Yiming walked up, suddenly paused, and whispered: "This time the time is tight, let's go around this part of Silicon Valley with you, and I will go out with you when I have time in the future......"
Ye Zizi's face remained unchanged, but Zhang Miao's expression relaxed.
The subtext of the sentence is: I'm not going to Boston.
Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and the largest city in the northeast of the United States.
Zhang Jingjing has now officially entered Harvard Business School.
