Receiving Su Can at the airport were Dustin, Catherine and Qiao Shuxin. PEN ~ FUN ~ PAVILION www.biquge.info/q Β5. //

I haven't seen Qiao Shuxin for more than a month, he is wearing a huā plaid shirt, compared to the appearance in Shanghai, he has the ease and leisure of unloading a lot of heavy responsibilities now, Su Can knows that Qiao Shuxin has basically nothing to do in the United States Facebook this month. But I believe that Qiao Shuxin's mood will definitely not be much better.

Qiao Shuxin helped pick up a piece of luggage from Li Pengyu's hand, and said, "I often call back to Metro Building to ask them about the progress of the products they planned to develop before I left, but I am still reluctant."

Then Qiao Shuxin sighed again, afraid of beating Su Can's mood, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about it so much, you just arrived, so treat this as a trip." ”

The most distinctive feature of the California terminal is the gentle arch overhead, such as the wings covering the surrounding glass curtain wall, and the huge cantilevered steel frame that "climbs" from the top of the head to support the part of the building that supports the building, while the central ground does not have a single pillar. This design is also said to have been used in United Airlines' aircraft maintenance hangar, which is large enough to accommodate four DC8 airliners. Surrounded by an all-glass frame structure, you can see at least five floors of the road outside the terminal, and although Shanghai is full of expansion sites this year, and the airport's T2 floor is nearing completion, it is still a long way from the current San Francisco.

At the entrance of Mén, I saw Dustin's strong English-style silver gray Sè Aston Martin sedan, which was parked on the parking strip outside, and Dustin and the blonde Catherine stood there, still quite eye-catching.

It's been a long time since we last met. Catherine stepped forward and hugged Su Can gently, and her dark blue eyes stared at him and said, "We have been paying attention to the development of Shanghai Facebook, I used to think that Facebook China could not beat many competitors, but now you have done it, it's amazing." ”

"A large part of this is Qiao Shuxin's credit. Su Can smiled.

Put your luggage in the car. Dustin patted the lid of the car and smiled at Su Can, "How about this guy? I paid $170,000 to marry her." ”

Li Pengyu and Su Can looked at the car, both nodded their heads, and Su Can said again, "If you land in Shanghai, it will be at least 300,000 US dollars." "Aston Martin has not been introduced into China at this time, Dustin bought in the United States equivalent to 1.3 million yuan, if it lands in China, with high customs surcharges and domestic dealers' huge profits, it will not be less than 3 million yuan to start.

Facebook in the United States only recently handed out a benefit, and veteran employees like Dustin received about a million dollars. And now with Dustin and Catherine's stakes, both may have advanced to the multimillionaire ranks. Seeing that the young Catherine was wearing a linen jacket, the corners of the lined shirt were knotted in the abdomen, Luolu had a beautiful belly button on the flat belly outside, and the lower body was a loose casual ku, such an outfit could not tell that she was already worth tens of millions. It's more like the big NV kid next door in the American idol drama along the Qingchun idol.

Catherine was still dissatisfied and said to Dustin, "If you had nothing to do and drive this thing to California schools to show off and chase NV kids, I would think this car is better, you don't have the gentlemanly demeanor corresponding to the car." ”

Dustin grinned, "That's because you always look at me on the outside and never know me on the inside." ”

"You should let your high school neighbors at Berkeley, Stanford, and California State learn about you inside. I don't care about it at all, we belong to two worlds from beginning to end. ”

Su Can can't help but wonder, Dustin is still stuffy, and Catherine still has the aura and vitality of Stamford Beauty.

The group got in the car and headed for Palo Alto.

Dustin said as he drove, "Frankly, your presence today made everything perfect, and the South Bay Hotel in the California Main Street business district has a special party for you today, and you're sure to enjoy it." 'Victoria's Secret' is now all underwear models born in the 80s, and they used to be the Si treasures of Harvard's so-called social Jingying club, but now if it comes to the trade-off between Facebook and Harvard University, these girls will not hesitate to join our Facebook party. Ha, now we're celebrities. Today there will be a bus of models arriving for you to celebrate. When the co-founder arrives at his base camp in China, why shouldn't we be reveling, you'll inspect the company, you'll see the basketball court in the sky that we've built on the rooftop of the building, we've got hundreds of matrix servers in the data center, it's like a hacker empire. In a building one block away from the headquarters, we built a beautiful cafeteria for the staff, all the food is served free of charge, and the chef of the restaurant is poached from Google."

Palo Alto, known as the center of Silicon Valley, is only more than 50 kilometers away from the California airport where Su Can and others arrived, and two national highways and one state highway can be reached by car, Su Can and his entourage are on California Highway 82, and along the way you can see a train going in the same direction as them, the train is from San Francisco to San Jose, there are three stations in Palo Alto, but generally only two, if there is no ball game at the Stanford Coliseum at Stanford Station, the train will not stop on the same day.

Su Can walked this highway into Palo Alto, also known as King's Boulevard, and Dustin's so-called meeting place was the Jiāo meeting place of Königs' Boulevard and Palo Alto's business district.

He stayed at a nearby five-star hotel, and although Palo Alto is a small town, it is known for its many high-tech companies and is even considered the heart of Silicon Valley. Su Can's hotel has a bit of Mediterranean style, and the carpet in Mén makes the shoes under his feet sink halfway, making people feel as if they are stepping on clouds.

Su Can and Li Pengyu lived in the same room, and after settling down, Catherine stepped forward to open the curtains, half of her waist stood on tiptoe, her figure was different from that of the East, and the texture of the tung sè outside her waist and abdomen was healthy and extremely elastic, which was a very moving scene of Su Can's coming to Southern California.

Catherine, on the other hand, noticed that Su Can was looking at her through the mirror on the side, a very confident smile was lightly drawn on the corner of her mouth, she turned around and crept in front of him, looked at him and said, "It's good that you're back this time." Later, it seemed that Li Pengyu was still at the scene, and although he expressed welcome, the atmosphere was always quiet and dense. Then she replied to her technical identity, casually picked up her own things on the sofa, and then said, "You can take a shower first, and then go to the headquarters later, there will be endless activities at night." ”

Zach is inspecting the server center in California, and is not in Palo Alto.

Despite the preparations, Su Can was still calmed by the lively welcome atmosphere in the evening.

The hotel Mén mouth with a banner to welcome him, Mén mouth at this time has parked countless vehicles, and people are walking inside one after another, several silver buses with a sense of science and technology are parked outside Mén, most of them are handsome guys and beautiful NV, full of dazzling.

When he arrives at Mén, Dustin is dressed in a gleaming blond outfit and looks like a pimp outside a Las Vegas casino, and the crowd outside Mén looks at him like a popular student movement and speech at Stanford University.

"Many of you may not have seen him, but I want to say that those who are qualified enough here today understand his identity and status!" Dustin saw Su Can, pointed his hand, and crossed the crowd and landed on Su Can, who came over with Qiao Shuxin, "Let's welcome the protagonist of today's banquet, Co-President, Su." ”

At this time, people looked at Su Can and Li Pengyu and his entourage, applauded one after another, and talked about it.

One of the directors of Facebook, Jim of Axel Partners, is a slender American man with a clear face, holding a wine glass in the crowd at this time, leaning on the pillar outside the hotel, waiting for everyone to greet and shake hands with Su Can one by one, before he came over and raised the red wine in his hand to Su Can, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

As a representative of Axel Partners, Jim also seems to be quietly and carefully looking at why this young Chinese man can compete with Zach and what kind of influence he will bring in the future.

Then a few male NVs who were obviously in their thirties and forties came forward and handed Su Can the business cards in their hands, all of which were some Silicon Valley-related investors and securities Jiāo members.

was blocked by Li Pengyu with a smiling face.

Entering the rather gorgeously decorated hotel, Qiao Shuxin patted Su Can on the shoulder and said, "It is estimated that half of the people in the Facebook headquarters have come to attend the welcome party you have arrived today, and the number of employees at Facebook is also more than five hundred. But excluding the employees of the internal security department such as cleaners, the total number of formal employees is about 400, and these employees basically have Facebook employee stocks in their hands, and the total number of employees of Facebook will remain at this number for several years. ”

Su Can nodded, according to the regulations of the SEC (Securities and Futures Commission) in the United States, once the number of shareholders of a company operating in the United States exceeds 500, even if it is a private company, it must publish the company's financial report within 120 days. Due to strategic considerations, many companies will not be willing to announce their financial reports before going public, and even if they are listed, most of the financial reports are cloudy. In the United States, Facebook has granted employee options in batches, resulting in basically all of Facebook's regular employees being one of Facebook's shareholders.

Once the number of shareholders of many companies in Silicon Valley exceeds 500, they will find excess shareholders to buy back shares in order to avoid financial leaks, so that many people who sell stocks and soar in net worth, of course, there are lucky people, and there are also those who suffer losses due to the future increase in the market value of the stock, such as participating in a huge money and wealth roulette gamble.

"Did you prepare for this party?" asked Su Can, turning his head.

"Think of it as a political show. Qiao Shuxin sighed, "This is also something that there is no way to do." ”

Su Can understood that this was Qiao Shuxin's preparation for Su Can's trip and to shape the prestige of Facebook, in the United States, there is no way to better reflect a person's status and importance in the company than to hold such a welcome party.

When Facebook was an apartment company, everyone went from having nothing but cheap discounted furniture and a few computers and stereos bought by IKEA to a giant company with a building, 500 employees and hundreds of millions of users.

And there are a lot of people who have left, Matt Kohler, Chris Hughes, Adam D'Angello, etc., and many young faces that Su Can didn't even know, whites, blacks, Vietnamese, Chinese, and even Indian students at Stanford. Many people were in the elegant seats in the distance, pulling the elders who had just shook hands with Su Can and walked away, venting their mysterious curiosity about this co-president and many eager questions to clarify.

For example, the veteran employees who are now quite prestigious in Facebook have a lot of respect for him. and the secret inside story that once made American young people want to explore the secret story of Shaun Parker, who once said that he eliminated Sean Parker, the son of Silicon Valley, who founded several cattle companies, and became the final winner.

Su Can didn't know if this was the so-called brother who was not in the rivers and lakes, but there was already a legend. At least Qiao Shuxin's arrangement has already played the role he should have.

Qiao Shuxin finally sighed, "I hope that the last Jiāo Feng on the board of directors after this will never appear, I thought that Zach would be with us in the end." But since I have been in the position of CEO in China for two years, I have seen a lot of things, and last time Zhao Yifan left. My understanding of human xing is another layer deeper, you shouldn't be so naïve to look at these people around you. ”

Su Canshun Qiao Shuxin pointed over, hundreds of people were at the party, everyone's eyes were bright, and everyone's face was full of confident smiles. Because they are employees of Facebook, they don't need to go to the United States, or even the United Kingdom, to say that they work for Facebook, I'm afraid that they will not dare to take it lightly, because it is so famous. Everyone is very confident, will not worry about social status, life situation, will have a real motivation to work. The moment they become employees of this company, they have enough options in their hands to step into the middle class and above in the United States, and it is not a dream to become a millionaire.

Qiao Shuxin's voice re-entered his ears, "If the American face encounters a crisis, then what will happen to these people, they are now working hard, they can get rich rewards, and at the same time, their hearts are full of ideals, gone will be gone, and their common ideas will collapse." Zach has no way back because he is no longer a person, and he represents the ideas that these people have placed on him. Therefore, all the decisions he makes must be made around the core of 'self-interest', and the American face must not be threatened in any way. Actually, he wasn't wrong. And we, no matter what we face in the future, we will represent our own interests in the country, and no one is wrong, but everyone is wrong."

Su Can had nothing to say.

The banquet lasted for a long time until late at night when it entered California, and people were partying to their heart's content, and Li Pengyu drank five large glasses of draft beer in front of everyone, and then was sent to the back as a hero and vomited in the dark. When his old father, who was in the Nanjing Military Region, called to inquire about the situation in the United States and whether he had contacted his friends in the United States, he picked up and said, "Dad, you just arrived here in California, drinking?

As soon as she finished dancing a vigorous dance, Catherine, who was a little uninhibited in Stanford, leaned forward and kissed Su Can on the cheek under the collective applause of many NV students. The high cháo that provokes the banquet.

This is the California of Passion.

Su Can occasionally misses all this.

Late at night, Zach and his group rushed back to Palo Alto overnight, along with several mysterious vehicles in black sè, but eventually parted ways at the intersection. Zach and his entourage almost stopped at the headquarters for a while, and immediately drove to the hotel where Su Can held a welcome meeting.

When he stepped into the hotel, Zach's vice president, Chris Cox, saw such a popular venue, his pupils shrank, and compared to his current position in the company, such a scene really made him feel very threatened.

Zack entered the venue and stood, looking at Su Can on the other end in a daze, as if he didn't notice the carnival of the people around him. Then Su Can found him, Zack's eyes jumped a few times, the smile on his face was a little stiff, he stepped forward, patted Su Can on the back, and just said, "You're here." ”

Late at night, Su Can stood side by side with Zack in the all-glass conference room, looking out through the window at the scene of Xiǎo Town. Palo Alto is not big, and the hotel where Su Can lives is next to the headquarters, so he only needs to walk a few steps before he can go back to his room and sleep.

Li Pengyu, Qiao Shuxin, Cox, and several American Facebook executives who Su Can had never met behind them, all looked at the scene in front of them with great feeling. This may be their last good conversation.

"I know there's no point in persuading you not to sell your shares now. Su Can sighed. "So the last effort was almost in vain. ”

"Unless you can find a better way" Zach shook his head, his face a little sad, as if he didn't know how to deal with this old friend.

He has a lot of friends, buddies who grew up together in dentist Xiǎo County, high school classmates, and those Jingying roommates at Harvard University, Su Can is not the closest in terms of geography, but at the beginning, Su Can persuaded him step by step to let him take the position of CEO of Facebook, giving him the current position of power, this kind of ideal of changing the world together, the relationship between teacher and friend, is unprecedented, and it is impossible to repeat it in the future with him as the emperor of the society, so maybe this will be painful," But what you can't find, I can't find either."

Su Can stood in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling windows that captured the lights of the entire Palo Alto town, and stood quietly with Zack for a long time. It was as if they were going to stand here forever in silence.

Su Can finally patted Zach on the shoulder and said, "Let's see you on the board." ”

Then he turned around and walked into the transparent elevator with Li Pengyu, and slowly fell down in the parallel vision.
