Chapter 160: The rivers and lakes are far away

"The company is doing very well. This was the first thing Chen Shijun said after sitting down, and perhaps he thought that this sentence was enough to cover up all the inquiries that followed.

Lin Fan bowed, "I have always believed in your abilities. ”

Chen Shijun drank a glass of whiskey, he recently fell in love with drinking, the success of YouTube even exceeded his own expectations, this period of time he worked harder and harder, but also more and more indulgent, he is no longer a regular job, but after drinking or having sex, the freedom of the soul will make him have the desire to work, so there is a thick layer of dark circles around his eyes.

"I can imagine your hard work. Lin Fan said very sincerely.

But Lin Fan's attitude did not make Chen Shijun feel comfortable, his feelings for Lin Fan now are complicated, grateful to Lin Fan for his trust at the beginning, regretting giving Lin Fan so many shares at the beginning, and Lin Fan's tens of millions of dollars were used to buy a new Chevrolet, of course, the cost of drinking now also comes from Lin Fan's original money.

Lin Fan was very calm, although he didn't think about the ending in front of him, he was not surprised, if it was possible, Chen Shijun would choose to kick himself away, but it didn't make sense, the contract had been signed, and the law would be on his side.

"Mr. Chen, I wonder if you have ever thought about the future of YouTube?"

This sentence immediately stirred Chen Shijun's sensitive nerves, "What does Mr. Lin mean?" According to his guess, Lin Fan must have heard about the results of YouTube and wanted to pick peaches.

"I'm just worried that Mr. Chan will sell YouTube. ”

This sentence embarrassed Chen Shijun again, although he didn't think about it specifically, but if there was a price he liked, he would not hesitate.

"What does Mr. Lin mean?"

"YouTube is a great invention, this idea is also the brainchild of Mr. Chen, we Chinese finally have a company in the United States that has the potential to become famous in the world, I don't want it to be a part of American culture, so if Mr. Chen still needs support, I can provide you with funds or bring in other investors. Lin Fan looked sincere, in fact, he was deliberately disgusting Chen Shijun, in the future, when Chen Shijun wants to sell YouTube without his consent, he will not be able to sell it at all, maybe he will have to change his face at that time.

No one has come to the door yet, Chen Shijun didn't think much about it, he was very pleased that Lin Fan had no intention of interfering in the development of the company, because in essence, he was not a major shareholder.

"Mr. Lin, try the rum cola here, it's very authentic. ”

"I'm still sparkling water, I've been feeling sick lately. ”

Chen Shijun nodded with a smile and asked quietly, "Mr. Lin is going to stay here for a few days?" Do you want me to have a good time with you?"

Chen Shijun's kind face was reflected under the glass wine glass, every successful businessman was an excellent actor, Lin Fan only felt that the soda in the bottle was not so clear.

"I've been here for a long time last time, I've already experienced everything I have eaten, and I'm not a person who likes to repeat, so I'll come back to San Francisco later and finish my work. ”

"It's a shame, I thought we'd have a big drink together and have a good chat. ”

"The rivers and lakes are far away, Mr. Chen is not sad, our days are still long. ”

Chen Shijun didn't hear the subconscious meaning of Lin Fan's words, he only understood one thing, Lin Fan and Sequoia didn't appear, he was the real master of YouTube.

Taxis are driving down the avenues of San Francisco, all kinds of people, all kinds of big waves, well, it's not that appealing. Chen Shijun's attitude disappointed Lin Fan, even if he had already had this kind of speculation, fortunately he would not cooperate with Chen Shijun for too long. But Lin Fan dared to guarantee that if Jack Dorsey had the same attitude, he would use his rights to join other shareholders to put Jack Dorsey on the board of directors.

Silicon Valley is heaven and hell, the difference is whether you are a winner or a failure, the division of the world is getting simpler and simpler, so straightforward that you can't even stand it.

Twitter is still a small company, even with a $5 million investment from Lin Fan. Whether it is from the perspective of user scale or company scale, Lin Fan's investment is likely to be lost.

But Lin Fan understands that this is only time yet, and the emergence of every epoch-making product may not necessarily be welcomed by users, and the development of Twitter also lies in this. One of the things that sets Twitter apart from other social networking sites out there is that it allows people to receive messages in real time. Well, that's where the downside comes in, and users worry that it will increase their SMS costs.

Unless the era of mobile Internet arrives, it can be accessed through mobile phones, and at the same time, it can quickly accept the feedback information from the software itself, otherwise the development will be limited.

Standing outside the titter and thinking for a long time, Lin Fan stepped into this company. Jack didn't change much, maybe his stuttering was much better, and he called out Lin Fan's Chinese name at once, "Lin Fan, my friend, your arrival surprises me!"

Lin Fan came to hug him very happily, "I'll see how your dream has come true." To be honest, Lin Fan saw the surprise in Jack's eyes at a glance, which was a great comfort for him.

Jack pointed to the two people next to him and said, "Billy Stone, Evan Williams, my partner." ”

These two people are very recognizable, the thin one is Biz, and the bearded one is Evan, Lin Fan has a very impressive impression of these two people, and in his memory it seems that these two overthrew Jack's leadership and took over the leadership of Titter, and the two were praised by the media as dream-like leaders.

"The last time Jack went to Huaxia, he kept mentioning how good his partners are, and it's an honor to meet you. ”

"We are also very happy to meet our investors. Evan said with a smile, but the beard covered his smile, I don't know why, Lin Fan felt that this Evan seemed to have a trace of hostility towards him, there was no evidence, just a feeling.

Jack excitedly led Lin Fan towards the office, "Lin, why did you come to the United States?" The two people behind him pricked up their ears again.

"I'm here for my other company, and they're doing pretty well, so I'm stopping by to see you. ”

"It's YouTube, they've been in the limelight for a short period of time. ”

Jack took the initiative to push the door for Lin Fan, the office was very simple, to be precise, it should be small, and the four people standing in it were a little narrow. Although Lin Fan does not support the harshness of leaders, he can only do a good job in the enterprise with such an attitude.

"Lin, I'm surprised that you haven't asked about the company's business status until now. ”

Lin Fan pointed to the office, "This is the best answer for me." ”

"Maybe it's because I just like to work in a cramped office. ”

"Then I'll trust you more!"

Two pairs of eyes met in the air, one calm, the other warm, this is an exchange that Evan and Biz can't understand.
