Chapter 180: Pretending to be Uncle's Work [One Shift]
There is a search engine web service company in Silicon Valley called Infoseek.
The company's chief technology officer, William Zhang, is a treasure island native who was also promoted from a core engineer position to CTO last year.
In the company's office, a bearded William Chang wears a glass-framed newspaper and reads a copy of the New York Daily Journal.
On the desk was an IBM computer, with a cup of coffee in front of it, and after William Chang flipped through a page of the feature, he picked up the coffee in surprise, took a big sip, and swallowed it in his stomach.
The coffee was gone, and William Chang, holding a cup in one hand and a daily newspaper in the other, walked out of the office and picked up the coffee in front of the coffee machine.
A young Chinese man came over with a coffee cup, and when he saw that William Zhang's coffee cup was full, he hurriedly prompted, "Mr. William, the coffee is full." ”
"Oh, Lee, morning, thank you!" William Chang reacted, he exclaimed, quickly turned off the coffee machine, poured out some of the full cup of coffee, he picked up the coffee and put it aside, and continued to read the New York Daily News in his hand.
The young man named Li next to him, whose full name is Li Yanhong, carefully took his coffee, turned his head and glanced curiously at William Zhang's newspaper, saw the word AIDS, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. William is also a caring person who cares about public welfare!"
"Oh, no, look, it's Fei Teng Lee and his future wife, the New York Daily called this young rich couple 'the best philanthropic couple in the world', and you look at this group photo, the five girls in it are AIDS patients. Mr. and Mrs. Li donated $2.55 million to the China AIDS Association, but the number of donations is not important. Instead, Lee and Gao Neng took a photo with children with AIDS, what a high honor!"
Li Yanhong was shocked when she heard it. He was also excited and didn't know what to say, Chinese news can rarely be featured in foreign authoritative newspapers, and Li Feiteng actually did it, although he relied on the book of those things in the Ming Dynasty, and the influence of overseas Chinese is also very large, but the most important reason for foreign countries to pay attention to Li Feiteng is his identity background and the fact that he can take photos with AIDS children.
Heads of state pose for photos with children with AIDS, doctors with AIDS patients. It is a common practice, and the photo of the billionaire Li Feiteng, who has been published by Forbes and Time magazine Asia, with AIDS, is indeed a thing that deserves special attention and can also cause waves.
"Lee, do you know this legendary young man?" said William Chang, who stopped in front of the coffee machine, took a sip of his coffee, and was eager to talk about it.
Li Yanhong returns to China every year, and when he returned to Yanjing last year, Li Feiteng's name was already thunderous. He said with a smile: "Li Feiteng is a top student of the computer science department of Qingmu University, his family background is very thick, and he has built a chain computer coffee bar company in China, and it can be said that Feiteng Group is also the largest computer bar alliance in the world." Last year, it already had more than 30 branches, and it is believed that Feiteng Group will soon go abroad. ”
"Well, I recently received news from my hometown of Treasure Island. Li Feiteng invested tens of millions of dollars and took 200 game development talents from Treasure Island. Preparing to build a game developer paradise on the mainland, the salary is very high. It also launched an online landing port game of Three Kingdoms Killing, with tens of thousands of online people across the country, which is really surprising!"
"Ahem, Mr. William, I'll go to work first. Li Yanhong saw the vice president of the company walking out of the office, he quickly picked up the coffee cup, and turned around and walked away.
William raised his eyebrows, pretending not to see the vice president, picked up his coffee cup and newspaper, turned and walked back to his office.
At noon, the company's employees got off work one after another, William Zhang walked out of the office, he stretched his waist, found Li Yanhong, who was working seriously, stood next to his work and said: "Li, don't get it, let's go to dinner together, I'll have a treat, and talk about that Li Feiteng." ”
Li Yanhong snorted, and after saving the programming software, he quickly picked up the jacket on the chair, and walked out of the company with William Zhang with a smile.
In the restaurant opposite Infoseek, a young man sitting by the window took off his glasses, put down the New York Daily News in his hand, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
"This China-based correspondent Williams is very good, and he can actually give me a special feature, which is good. The young man muttered to himself, and he took a sip of the juice, and his drowsy head cleared up a little.
Of course, he would not go directly to Infoseek to find Li Yanhong, on the one hand, Li Yanhong had just been tapped by William Chang into Infoseek, and on the other hand, he had not figured out how to convince Li Yanhong.
William Zhang is the first generation of Infoseek engine head, and Li Yanhong is the second generation of engine head, this year's William Zhang is leaving Infoseek, so Li Yanhong was tapped to replace him as CTO.
Although Li Yanhong was the founder of Baidu, in 2007, William Zhang also joined Baidu as one of the world's most famous engine experts and became Baidu's chief scientist.
Without William Zhang and Li Yanhong, there would naturally be no Zài Baidu.
These things are not secrets in themselves, for Li Feiteng, this is common knowledge in the IT world, in Silicon Valley, he can not know Li Yanhong, but he can't help but know William Zhang.
"It's obviously not okay to dig Li Yanhong, William Zhang's fame is too big, how can I be good?" Li Feiteng muttered to himself with a headache, the current Li Yanhong can't leave Silicon Valley at all, and William Zhang is a very famous engine expert, and he is already a scientist who has risen to academic status, so William Zhang has no shortage of investors at all, and it is not very important whether he starts a business or not.
……
Silicon Valley, Apple's headquarters in Cupertino.
When Li Feiteng had a headache, Ying Tiancheng had already walked into the Apple headquarters building, and after he explained the intention of the investment, the company staff directly led Ying Tiancheng into Jobs's office.
Last year, Apple acquired NeXT Computer Company, which was founded after Jobs left Apple, for $400 million, and welcomed Jobs again.
During the year, Jobs made drastic reforms, and the company's stock doubled from $5.88 when he took over to $11.08.
The most worthy of Jobs's pride is that in the year of his return, he quickly grasped the weakness of Microsoft's monopoly ambitions, sued Microsoft for anti-monopoly, sued Microsoft for plagiarizing the user interface design of Apple's MacOS operating system, and bundled IE browsers in Windows, and did not provide any other non-IE browsers, so it was suspected of market monopoly.
So, after August, Apple and Microsoft reached a partnership, Jobs received Microsoft funding, and Microsoft got Apple's non-voting shares, and Microsoft was able to provide Office suite support to Apple Mac users for a period of five years.
In this step, Jobs completely recovered Apple, which almost collapsed, and led Apple to the peak of the 21st century.
Today, Jobs received a call from his secretary and heard that an investor wanted to invest in Apple stock at a premium, which made Jobs very happy, because Apple has not had an influx of angel funds for two years, and his Apple needs capital, how can it rise without capital?
Steve Jobs is hungry for capital, so he values every angel investor.
……
"Mr. Jobs, I have $110 million, how many tens of thousands of shares can you give me?" said Ying Tiancheng, with a Cuban cigar in his mouth, as he sat in Jobs's office with a big smile on the smoke he breathed.
After Ying Tiancheng came in, Jobs's expression was very entangled, he looked at the angel investor with a surprised face, and really doubted whether this Mr. Ying had $110 million.
It's a pity that Li Feiteng didn't know that Ying Tiancheng was pretending to be an uncle like this, otherwise he would definitely have to exchange work content with Ying Tiancheng. (To be continued......)
