Chapter 358: A Useless Woman
The next day, Yang Fan got up early in the morning, and Zhang Xiao was still lying on the bed......
Yang Fan's movement woke up Zhang Xiao, reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Yang Fan who was alive again, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, I really don't know where the spirit came from!
Looking at the sleepy-eyed Zhang Xiao, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head, this woman is seductive, and she can let go, but it's a pity that people are too useless!
Yang Fan was tidying up his clothes beside the bed, as if he was going out, seeing this, Zhang Xiao was about to struggle to get up from the bed, but unfortunately his limbs were weak, and he just wanted to get up, his arms were weak, and his head fell into the soft big bed again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan shook his head speechlessly......
As for it?
Helpless, Yang Fan still waved his hand and said, "Okay, you continue to sleep, I have to go to Shashan Road to meet the people of KPCB today, it is useless for you to follow the past!" β
"Okay!" Feeling like he was falling apart, Zhang Xiao could only agree weakly.
Yang Fan left the hotel, got into James's Ford business, and went all the way to Shashan Road along Highway 101......
"How?"
Seeing Yang Fan's appearance in a daze, James asked, and then looked at Yang Fan's line of sight and found that Yang Fan's line of sight fell on the newly installed navigator.
To this, James explained, "Navigation, something that has just emerged lately. β
Yang Fan nodded and looked at the brand of the navigator, Garmin, Garmin, the first brand of GPS in later generations!
GPS was originally just something for the US military and even just for the command...... It wasn't until 1989 that a group of dedicated engineers and product ideas led to the creation of Garmin, Garmin, the leading brand of global positioning and navigation systems today.
During the Persian Gulf War, Garmin produced the first handheld GPS to be adopted by the coalition forces! Ten years later, Garmin has become the No. 1 GPS brand!
Unlike most cars in later generations, handheld GPS was only for military use in the first few years, and it was not popular in cars until the past two years that high-end cars were equipped with GPS navigation......
Of course, Yang Fan didn't want to have anything to do with navigation when he saw the navigation in a daze...... Instead, I thought of the digital map!
Consider that Nokia was still at its peak in '08, and it cost 8.1 billion euros, or about $11.4 billion, to acquire Navteq...... Well, later navteq became Nokia's here, once occupied 80% of the car navigation market, but unfortunately there has been no opportunity to access the mobile terminal, wait for a few years, to a fifteen-year map business was sold to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Daimler, the loss of pants are gone!
Electronic map is a very promising business, especially after entering the mobile era, think about the future, TX, BD and other companies have entered the electronic map business, including Al is not willing to be unwilling, directly acquired GD map.
Seeing that Yang Fan didn't respond to himself, still looking thoughtful, James asked curiously, "What do you think?" β
With James's questioning, Yang Fan finally returned to normal, and at this time he naturally didn't talk about the electronic map, but just pointed to the guide and said, "Oh, I think it's so convenient to navigate, I don't know if it can be used in China!" β
At this time, few people will pay attention to electronic maps, even Google has not entered the electronic map business until 04 years, so James did not doubt him, nodded and said, "I can help you inquire about this......"
After doing a full set of plays, Yang Fan nodded naturally and said, "Okay!" β
In this way, talking about navigation, the two came to Shashan Road and came to KPCB, and it was still Perkins who came forward to greet Yang Fan on behalf of KPCB......
Yang Fan secretly thought that in the matter of Google, whether it was Goode of Sequoia Capital or Perkins of KPCB, he was teased enough by himself, but he didn't expect KPCB to let him come to negotiate with him, and he was really not afraid of Perkins's embarrassment!
Or......
Does the KPCB see this as a good chance for Perkins to get his revenge back?
Thinking about it, Yang Fan stretched out his hand and shook Perkins, and greeted in Chinese, "Hello, meet again!" β
Perkins, "......"
To be honest, he has talked a lot of times, even if he is not American and does not understand English, most people will still use a hello to greet him, but I didn't expect Yang Fan to be a native speaker Hello!
Thinking about it, Perkins glanced at Yang Fan, thinking about whether Yang Fan wanted to fight-for-tat, or to express respect for the motherland?
βhelloοΌβ Perkins greeted.
To be honest, Google's matter is still a thorn in his heart, especially when he sees Google's prospects getting brighter and brighter, it feels even worse!
But as a businessman, you have to talk about business, and now that expedition is obviously profitable, then, because the two sides of Google can put aside for the first time......
Bringing Yang Fan into the conference room, Perkins quickly cut to the chase, "You know that because of the NASDAQ avalanche, it has caused countless investors to reflect on whether investors have been too tolerant of the Internet, and at the same time too optimistic about their prospects!" β
The translation is simultaneous, and as Perkins speaks, the translation is constantly translating.
Hearing this, Yang Fan asked, "And then?" β
"And then?" Hearing the translated English, Perkins glanced at Yang Fan, and through Perkins, who had dealt with Yang Fan in Google before, he knew that it was impossible for Yang Fan not to understand what he meant, since he understood and asked like this, he wanted to pretend to be stupid!
Without worrying about whether Yang Fan was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, Perkins said directly, "Then, we are thinking about whether we were too tolerant of the expedition before, and whether we are more optimistic about its prospects!" β
Hearing this, Yang Fan shook his index finger and retorted, "No, no, you weren't tolerant before, but harsh!" Expedition has a novel model, a simple way, and I believe that it will become the mainstream of blogs in the near future, but your judgment of it is only very competitive, not that Expedition will become a king! β
Perkins, "......"
King......
To use this word for your own company, in a Chinese dialect, it is really not afraid of the wind and flashing your tongue!
Ignoring Perkins' thoughts, Yang Fan continued, "I have prepared 10 million US dollars, and if it weren't for the other resources that KPCB can bring, Expedition doesn't need other people's investment!" β
As he spoke, Yang Fan also showed the letter of credit......
Perkins, "......"
Well, it is only now that Perkins remembers the initial confrontation between him and Yang Fan on Google, and Yang Fan is as an investor!
So now, it is not impossible for him to increase his own capital in his own enterprises, and similarly, that letter of credit also proves that Yang Fan is indeed ready for funds......
After a while, Perkins understood Yang Fan's intention to let KPCB join Expedition, which was nothing more than putting a layer of umbrella on Expedition, after all, Expedition is different from Google. Expedition is a Chinese business, but it is growing in the United States. (To be continued.) )
