In Yang Fan's heart, the most successful companies in Silicon Valley are not the early Fairchild, nor the current Intel, Genentech, Cisco, Oracle, nor the future Google, Facebook, and Tesla......

The most successful company in Silicon Valley is Stanford University, or what you can call the cradle of Silicon Valley, the tech incubator...... It just so happened that the route they were driving was passing through Stanford University. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When passing by Stanford, whether it was Yang Fan or Lin Yao, they couldn't help but look at the Spanish courtyard-style building with the main stone building, many trees, and a beautiful almost suffocating campus.

Almost all of Stanford's buildings have red roofs, including the iconic 87-meter-tall Hoover Pagoda, which is basically in a uniform style......

In fact, not only Stanford, but very few universities in the United States will have that kind of assembly-line, industrialized, modern building. Most of them are buildings with various obvious styles and historical heritage, many of which are built from a hundred years ago or even older. For these universities, history, tradition is the most important thing......

Compared with the vigorous new campus in China, the University of California, Berkeley, which is dozens of kilometers northeast of here, is almost crowded into a dog, but there is still no idea of renovating the old campus......

In short, it is to guard his broken place for a hundred years without wavering!

No, 10,000 years!

Or, they will stubbornly hold on to the desolation of the natural collapse of the building......

"It's a blessing to go to school on such a beautiful campus!" Looking at Stanford's campus, Yang Fan said to Wang Tianze, who was in the same car.

Wang Tianze is studying for a Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford, and his alumni are the biggest force in Silicon Valley.

Look at HP, Yahoo, Nike, Logitech, Tesla Motors, Firefox, Electronic Arts, Sun Microsystems, NVIDIA, Cisco, Silicon Valley Graphics, eBay and other companies, Google's founders all came from this school!

In Silicon Valley, take a look at the list on the Stanford Alumni Directory. That's really no one.

"Yes...... Wang Tianze said proudly, he is also very proud of his school, especially his computer school, which leads the world.

Sighing, looking at the many empty mountains behind the Stanford campus, Yang Fan sighed with emotion. "You can run on the path, you can ride a horse on the grass, you can have a tryst with your girlfriend in the woods, what a happy life!"

Wang Tianze, "......"

In the woods......

Tryst......

Wang Tianze couldn't understand at all, how could the topic of Yang Fan jump from happiness to here in an instant?

Lin Yao's face turned red and he punched Yang Fan.

As for Liu Qingfeng, who was in the same car, he couldn't help but burst out laughing immediately, half loudly, and only after stopping laughing did he shake his head and quipped, "Wait until you graduate from college." If you are willing to study here, I am sure that Stanford will not refuse it at that time! No, it should be upside down, and ...... when the time comes"

As he spoke, Liu Qingfeng glanced at Lin Yao, but made her blush.

When he said this, Liu Qingfeng thought that according to Yang Fan's current development trajectory, I am afraid that no university in the world would be willing to reject him in four years. It doesn't matter if it's Harvard, Cambridge. It's still MIT, not to mention Stanford, which values entrepreneurship the most in the world!

You know, Stanford has more than 20 courses on entrepreneurship alone, otherwise how could it be called the incubator of Silicon Valley.

Stanford's rise from obscurity in the sixties to the forefront of the world is also a history of supporting alumni to start their own businesses, and then these successful alumni give back to the school.

So, for that. Liu Qingfeng is still very confident!

As for the low or tall office buildings next to Stanford, stand prominently along this street, which is home to Silicon Valley venture capital firms and the most venture capital concentration in the world, Dune Road.

And today's meeting place is here!

Outside the meeting place. BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, Bentleys, and even Rolls-Royces line up in the parking lot, but there are relatively few supercars!

The car was parked, and after several formalities, the group walked into the party......

The meeting hall was large and had a large number of people......

Staggering!

There must be a lot of celebrities in a group of people here, but it's a pity that Yang Fan doesn't know any of them!

Yang Fan knows those world celebrities, such as Microsoft's Bill Gates, Facebook's Zuckerberg, or Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin, well, Apple's Steve Jobs also knows......

As for the center of the gathering now, what is the vice president of Microsoft, the technical director of Oracle......

Who's that, don't know!

This sounds like a bull x, well, of course, Yang Fan can't say that he knows these people like Bill Gates, he can only say that these people have a high news exposure, and he can recognize them when he sees them. It's a pity that in this party, Bill Gates, Jobs will definitely not appear, and as for Zuckerberg, the devil knows which high school he is in now!

And what's even more regrettable is that except for the people who are traveling with him, not to mention those who know Yang Fan, there are no people who can recognize him, plus Yang Fan is not proficient in English at all, and he can't even communicate with the people here.

Although nearly one-fifth of the engineers in Silicon Valley are Chinese, there are very few Chinese in this gathering today.

After following Liu Qingfeng and James for a while, Yang Fan saw Paige and Gaylin, the founders of Google...... It's just that now they are celebrities in the eyes of investors, and they are surrounded by a bunch of people to invest!

In this case, Liu Qingfeng and James couldn't surround them, let alone Yang Fan, who came in with them.

Seeing the people surrounding Page, and then listening to Liu Qingfeng and James introduce the identities of those people, Yang Fan felt half cold in his heart.

This situation can be regarded as basically abandoning his idea of fishing in troubled waters and taking a stake in Google......

However, Yang Fan was not too disappointed, anyway, he didn't have much hope for Google at the beginning!

It's best if you have a chance, if you don't!

Come to think of it, the brother of Paige, one of the founders of Google, is also an Internet entrepreneur, and the website he built will be sold to Yahoo for $500 million in the near future, so Google has never been short of financing channels. Although more than a year ago, Page tried to sell Google to Yahoo for $1 million, but Yang Zhiyuan did not ask for it......

And three years later, Yahoo raised the offer to 3 billion, but unfortunately, it was Google's turn to reject Yahoo this time, and it didn't take 30 years of feng shui to take turns, and in just five years, Google slapped Yahoo in the face.

In this way, Yang Fan took Lin Yao to wander around the venue, fortunately, this party was in the form of a buffet, and there was something to eat at the worst, so it was not too boring.

Thirty minutes after arriving at the venue, Yang Fan finally saw another person he knew, well, Yang Fan saw a person he could recognize!

Someone who overjoyed him......
