An open-air café in a good mood as bright as the sun on the California coast.

Lin Fan stirred the coffee, and sitting next to him was Liu Yifei in a professional suit, with a milk-like crystal neck coming out of the black coat, and Liu Yifei was like a beautiful white swan, I have to say that the snow-white girl and the black outfit match very well, adding a bit of charm.

"What are you doing?"

"I didn't expect you to drink bitter coffee. ”

"Why do I think you're looking at me?"

Lin Fan was a little embarrassed, it was really low to be exposed like this, but how could Lin Fan's face be defeated like this?" "I thought that you would hide a little childishness when you put on work clothes, but the effect was not too great. ”

"I'm a big girl, and besides, you brought me here, don't say that I affect your talk later. Liu Yifei's face was coquettish.

"You've shirked all this responsibility, and besides, would I be such a stingy person?"

Liu Yifei twisted his face to the side, "Who knows this?"

The two were amused, and in the distance, Peter Thiel came.

"Peter, if you don't come again, I'll probably be tired of San Francisco coffee. ”

Peter Thiel shrugged, pulled out a chair and took the initiative to sit down, "Actually, I wasn't late, it should be that you came early." ”

Lin Fan didn't deny it, but smiled, "I clearly understand what Facebook means to me, and this is not a thing that can make people calm." ”

"I'm going to tell you the news, maybe it won't turn out so well. A hint of helplessness flashed across Petertyre's mouth.

Lin Fan suddenly chuckled in his heart, "I don't think there will be worse news than the end of the world." A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth, but his heart had become a mess.

"Mark turned down your funding, and I'm sorry for the result, although I want you to join Facebook, but Mark is the one who really decides. ”

"I understand, I had assumed that you would tell me in a gentle way, but I didn't expect you to be so direct. Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders in a very Western style, indicating that he didn't care about this result.

Peter looked at Lin Fan who was calm in front of him, and then thought about Lin Fan's understanding of Facebook a few days ago, he knew that Lin Fan's appearance was pretended, but he admired Lin Fan's pretended face, just this young man was very unusual, maybe Mark made a wrong decision this time, Peter Thiel shook his head, and couldn't help but think of the argument he had with Mark yesterday.

"Mark, why not introduce Lin's company, we have investigated his company, and the number of users of his company's products is the first in China, and the user viscosity is extremely high. ”

Mark, who is in his twenties, has all the characteristics of a computer expert, calm and logical, "Peter, our next market is India, and China is not in our consideration. ”

"But China's advantage is much higher than India's. ”

"The company's strategy cannot be changed. ”

"You're too stubborn. ”

Mark put the materials of the three companies in front of Peter Thire, "In addition to the Red Dot Capital that led the investment, Greylock Partners, Meritech Capital Partners and Founders Fund can help us, these three companies can invest in path companies that can complement our company, and Instagram, as one of the picture social communities, can help us incubate user ......"

Peter Thiel was silent, it is undeniable that Mark is right, Facebook's main customers are universities in English-speaking regions, although the Chinese market is very attractive, but it is still too far away for Facebook, so Peter Tell agreed with Mark's opinion.

After listening to Peter's explanation of Mark's reasons for refusal, Lin Fan felt uncomfortable but also somewhat agreed. He is also the leader of the company, and naturally understands that every investor introduced by the company is very important, capital is important, resources are more important, and maximizing benefits is the company's choice.

Liu Yifei next to her has been silently watching Lin Fan on the side, although Lin Fan has not mentioned it in the past few days, she can feel the importance of investing in Facebook for Lin Fan, but the man in front of her is too calm, she is kind-hearted, and she is naturally worried about Lin Fan at this time.

"Lin, I'm sorry I can't change Mark's decision, so, I hope we have a good time working together next time. ”

"I'm looking forward to it. ”

When Peter Tell left, Lin Fan's calm face suddenly wrinkled, thinking that he had the ambition to borrow millions of dollars, but he got nothing, which was a blow. Even before he came, he had a vague feeling that he would fail.

Lin Fanqiang pulled up a smile and looked at Liu Yifei, "Miss Liu, I'm sorry to let you see such a scene on the first day of work." With that, Lin Fan stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"San Francisco is so big, I haven't seen it properly, walking around. ”

San Francisco is huge, Haight-Ashbury is the birthplace of hippies in the 60s, Castro is the world's most famous gay neighborhood, and the sunniest church district in San Francisco...... Lin Fan wandered aimlessly through the streets, and he seemed to be blind to the people around him.

It's just that he didn't notice that there was a girl behind him, Liu Yifei didn't know how depressed Lin Fan was, but he was worried that Lin Fan was in the wrong mood and was afraid that something would happen to him.

The two of them walked for nearly four hours, from afternoon to evening. Until seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Fan entered Chinatown and came to the familiar Chinese restaurant.

"Ah Hua, the dish is the same as before, and then take twelve bottles of Corona. ”

Ah Hua looked at Lin Fan, who was calm, and said with some curiosity, "Brother Lin, why do you want to drink so much wine?"

At this time, Liu Yifei also followed, "Ah Hua, Lin Fan is in a bad mood, you bring the wine, I am here." ”

Ah Hua looked at Lin Fan and then at Liu Yifei, and nodded, Lin Fan and Liu Yifei have been eating at this Chinese restaurant for a few days, and the three of them have already met.

"Followed all afternoon?"

"No, just a chance encounter. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to open it?"

"I won't worry about you, is it fun to leave me alone in a café?"

Lin Fan didn't speak, in fact, Liu Yifei had already noticed it when he followed him, but he didn't want to speak at that time.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Liu Yifei had a worried look on her face.

"Why do you say that?"

"If you don't feel bad, how can you drink so much?"

Lin Fan smiled, thought about it and decided to explain, "At first, the mood was really bad, you know that rejection doesn't make people feel beautiful, but soon I figured it out, although rejection is very uncomfortable, it is not difficult to accept, and then I thought about some other things to see if there are any other good projects to invest in." ”

Liu Yifei's eyes flickered, "Then have you thought about the result?"

"Nonsense, if I think about the result, I will still use it to drown my sorrows?"

Liu Yifei directly gave Lin Fan a big look, "Dare to love you, this is ready to learn from Li Bai and find inspiration." ”

"Uh-huh. Lin Fan's face didn't matter.

"I didn't follow you if I knew you were okay, and now my feet are dying of pain. ”

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, "Now admit it?"

Liu Yifei straightened up, "I didn't do anything to steal chickens and dogs, why don't you admit it?"

"Does your foot really hurt?" Lin Fan's tone suddenly became very gentle, and his eyes were still full of concern, "I'm sorry, I should have stopped you in the afternoon and didn't let you follow." ”

Liu Yifei was a little uncomfortable with Lin Fan's attitude, and the two occasionally teased and quarreled, but most of the time they still respected each other like guests, and there was quite a feeling of gentlemen interacting as confidants, gentle?

"As a sign of my apologies, how about I carry you back tonight?"

"Okay. Liu Yifei's eyes were only slitted with a smile, she and Lin Fan had never won the usual arguments, and today they finally won back a city, "You took the initiative to bring it up, I didn't force you!"

"Ann. Lin Fan shook his head helplessly, smiling dumbly at Liu Yifei's reaction......
