The car sped down Route 280 with picturesque scenery on both sides......

Yang Fan's heart is also like a gallop!

Silicon Valley, I'm coming!

Along the way, Yang Fan was also thinking about who he could meet at this gathering......

I'm afraid it's hard for Bill Gates to appear on such an occasion now, even Jobs!

Rather, Larry Page and Sergei Brin are likely to ...... In '99, Google was still just founded, and it was the time to look for investment everywhere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ninety-nine, investing in Google, which was established last year, is the best opportunity of the year.

Although it is said that apples are still mired in the quagmire, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the size of today's apples is not something that Yang Fan can consider!

It's Google, Yang Fan's conditions are difficult to join now, and now Google is already the darling of the investment market, saying that it is looking for investment everywhere, but just looking for the most suitable one, rather than asking for people everywhere.

In Yang Fan's mind, 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.

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 are red-roofed, including the iconic 87-meter-tall Ho Fo 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 dogs, 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 the campus of Stanford, Wang Tianze, who was in the same car as Yang Fan, said.

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.

Check it out, 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, look at the list on the Stanford alumni directory, and there is really no one.

Wang Tianze's face has been proud since the morning, and it also proves from the side that Yang Fan's judgment yesterday was very accurate, and he said proudly at this time, "Yes, ......"

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, "You can run on the path, you can ride a horse on the grass, and you can have a tryst with your girlfriend in the forest, 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.

Looking at Wang Tianze's smug face, Yang Fan pursed his lips and asked, "By the way, how was your situation yesterday!" ”

Wang Tianze, "......"

Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Fan said, "It looks like I can really have a tryst in the woods!" ”

Liu Qingfeng, who was in the same car, couldn't help laughing when he heard it, half a sound, and then shook his head and quipped, "When you graduate from college, if you are willing to study here, I believe that Stanford will definitely not refuse at that time!" No, it's supposed to be upside down......"

Liu Qingfeng believes that in four years, Yang Fan will definitely be a billionaire, and the unit is, of course, US dollars. A self-made young billionaire in his early twenties, Stanford would not refuse!

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

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. After stopping the car and going through a few formalities, the group walked into the party hall, which was very large and had a large number of people, most of whom were 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!

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.

Although I thought about it a lot and prepared a lot, unfortunately, I still didn't

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 a person he knew, a person who made him overjoyed......

The founder of BD, Li Hongyan!

I actually met Li Hongyan here!

For this kind of unexpected joy, Yang Fan didn't know what expression to use to dress up. (To be continued.) )
