"What do you want to do more when a person has wealth?" Lin Fan didn't immediately explain to Peter why he invested in Facebook, "Archimedes said give me a fulcrum, and I can pry up the earth." ”

"Changing the world, that's what anyone with a vision would want to do, if he has the strength, so I sent a letter of intent to Facebook. ”

"This topic has the feel of a Hollywood blockbuster, and it is very gimmicky. Thiel was noncommittal.

Tyre's expression was very flat, but Lin Fan still caught a glimmer of light in Tyre's eyes, geniuses are lonely, they don't hate communication, but there are too many mediocre talents around them, the bright star of Facebook was discovered by Thiel at the beginning of its birth, and praise is actually an affirmation and communication for him.

Of course, this does not convince Thiel, Lin Fan smiled, "Facebook is undoubtedly excellent as a social networking site, and it is easier for people to communicate intuitively with photos as a medium. Of course, this is only from a creative point of view, but I'm more interested in Facebook's business model, a platform, a huge platform where users and friends are connected, and it's bound to disrupt the way people communicate....... For me, it's definitely a way to change the world. Of course, Lin Fan did not say a sentence that really changed and affected human social life when Facebook reached $100 billion when it went public.

"You know Facebook intuitively, and there are many investment banks that also see the value of Facebook and understand it, and I want to know more clearly why you are investing in it. ”

"I'm optimistic about ......"

Thiel interrupted Lin Fan's words, "Of course you can say something illusory. Tell pointed to his heart, "But I'd rather hear what you're saying." ”

"I'm a big believer in making more money on Facebook than I ever thought possible. Lin Fan seemed a little dissatisfied and added, "I will make a lot of money." ”

Thiel slapped his hands and smiled, "This is far more convincing than changing the world, I like interests, interests can support people to do something incredible, and in the same way, only if you are sure that you will get benefits will you absolutely support the behavior of getting benefits, and what the board of directors needs is only a shareholder who has absolute confidence in the executor, not a steward who needs to explain everything." ”

Lin Fan was taken aback by what Thiel said, and at the same time reflected that this lord has not yet become a godfather-level figure in Silicon Valley, and now making money is the theme song, and it seems that he is indeed a little ethereal when he talks to him about changing the world, and those lofty things have always been pursued after living a rich life.

But his honesty paid off, and he had realized something from Tyre's words.

"Mr. Tell, if you really want to find a reason to invest in Facebook, maybe you are a good explanation, the founder of PayPal is not far off. ”

"Compliments don't add a lot of money. ”

Lin Fan shrugged, "I'm just talking about a fact. ”

"I'm looking forward to welcoming you to the board, and of course, Mark is looking forward to it. Maybe you'll hear good news in a week's time. ”

"I'd love to try what it's like to sit on Facebook and drink a cup of coffee. ”

Tyre looked eager to try, "Why don't you try it now?"

.......

Things went smoothly and Lin Fan was a little overwhelmed, okay, who can say anything about fate.

Even though he had to wait a week to get the news, Lin Fan still had no plans to return to China. It's hard to go abroad, but how can you not take a good look at the United States on the other side of the ocean? Besides, although the news of YouTube's financing has not been released, it must not be too late.

After being busy with Facebook, Lin Fan also took the initiative to find YouTube, the newly founded company is estimated to be better than Facebook, after all, it is still at the beginning of entrepreneurship, for it, the most lacking thing in the company's development is not contacts and resources, but funds, which can help it quickly occupy the market.

San Francisco, a port city on the Pacific coast of California, USA, is a world-famous tourist destination, of course, it is more famous for its proximity to Silicon Valley, as the world's largest technology park, it is incomparable, perhaps, California wine is also good.

Leisure is rare, Lin Fan naturally wants to go out for a walk, of course, a big reason is that Lin Fan can't stand the food here. San Francisco cuisine is dominated by Italian and Mexican cuisine, with a small incorporating Japanese dishes, which have been adapted to suit local tastes in San Francisco.

Well, Lin Fan felt that he couldn't afford it, and he decided to go to San Francisco's Chinatown to save his taste buds.

As the fourth largest city in California, San Francisco has a population of more than 800,000, and more than a quarter of them are Chinese and Chinese-American, so the Chinatown here is no longer simply a street, but a community.

Take the car to Chinatown, and ignore the surrounding buildings that are not green bricks and green tiles, it seems that there is no difference from Huaxia, the decals at the door of the store, the reunion knot, it seems that the reason for leaving the hometown will be doubled and missing, and the customs of the Chinese in the Chinese street will be preserved better.

"Sir, do you have anything you would like to eat?"

Lin Fan smiled and said in Chinese, "Spicy chicken, four happy balls, roasted vegetables, a bowl of rice." ”

"Are you from Huaxia?" the service girl couldn't help but smile.

Lin Fan smiled, "I came to the United States on a business trip, but I overestimated my tolerance for milk bread and cooking. ”

The little sister was immediately happy, this is a problem faced by many Chinese people, and they usually choose to go to the local Chinatown to reminisce about the taste of their hometown, and Lin Fan is still so beautiful.

The meal was served quickly, but it was just such a big bowl of rice and a steaming soup, which surprised Lin Fan.

Xiaomei immediately explained, "It is not easy for every Chinese person in a foreign country, we usually add some extra meals or send a soup." ”

This made Lin Fan very happy, and felt a strong human touch, there was not much business in the store, and the little sister simply sat here and chatted with Lin Fan, and after a while, the two of them reported each other's names and became acquainted.

However, Lin Fan was quite interested in a foreigner on the side, "Ah Hua, do foreigners also like to eat Chinese food?"

Ah Hua looked at the foreigner and suddenly understood, "Foreigners love to eat a lot, but there are not many that can eat spicy, this boiled pork slices is because he is in a bad mood and is punishing himself." ”

Lin Fan Yile punished himself with Sichuan cuisine, this foreigner is also a wonderful person, but that's all.

"Brother Lin, can you tell me what's interesting about Yanjing, what does the Great Wall look like?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly......"
