Chapter 173: San Francisco
At the end of July, San Francisco International Airport. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info exit, a line of Chinese appeared.
But in San Francisco, this is not uncommon. It is the city with the highest proportion of Chinese in the United States, the second largest in the total number of people, and the largest Chinatown in the western United States......
This group of people is Yang Fan, Lin Yao, Liu Qingfeng, Zheng Hao, and Chen Dagang from China......
San Francisco, that is, many Hong Kong films, especially San Francisco and San Francisco mentioned in Hong Kong gangster films.
The reason why Yang Fan chose to land here is that the entire western United States belongs to the Chinese population here is one of the important reasons, after all, except for Liu Qingfeng, they are all going abroad for the first time, and they will have less strangeness when they come to San Francisco, a city with a relatively strong Chinese style.
Of course, San Francisco's proximity to Silicon Valley is the most important reason!
Since there is an IT-related business, how can you not come to Silicon Valley to go around when you come to the United States?
Speaking of Yang Fan's two lives, this is the first time he has set foot on American soil, to be honest, looking at the blonde beauty is quite novel......
Well, he'll see the blonde one.
In the pick-up area, a group of people looked around, holding two signs with three Chinese characters on them, "Liu Qingfeng!" ”
This is Liu Qingfeng's friend who notified him in advance, and then he can see that it is convenient for Liu Qingfeng to be there, whether it is accommodation or car, everything has already been arranged through local friends, and there is no need for Yang Fan and them to worry about it.
Seeing the group of people, Liu Qingfeng took Yang Fan and them up.
There were eight or nine people in this group, and the first was a middle-aged white man with a large body and a beard. The next four look like Chinese, or do the three look like they are tall and strong......
"Welcome to San Francisco!" The middle-aged white man with a beard in the front first gave Liu Qingfeng a warm hug. After shaking hands with Yang Fan and several people one by one, he began to complain at Liu Qingfeng. "My friend, it's been a long time since you've been to the United States, and I miss you to death!"
This man Chinese speak very neatly......
Especially the sentence that I want you to die, it is very Feng Gong's style!
"There are a lot of opportunities in China recently! I said you should check it out too. Liu Qingfeng explained, then turned his head to introduce to Yang Fan, "This is James!" ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged white man named James said dissatisfiedly, "My friend, I've told you many times. My Chinese name is Zhou Qiang, and since I am a friend from China, you should use Chinese name when you introduce me, which is respectful ......"
In one sentence, Yang Fan's perception of James is much better.
"Okay, okay, okay! Zhou Qiang, Zhou Qiang! Liu Qingfeng said helplessly, and then pointed to Yang Fan and said. Let me introduce to you, this is the Yang Fan I told you. ”
"Oh...... Oh......" Hearing this, James suddenly screamed, which attracted a lot of attention in the crowded lobby of San Francisco International Airport. However, there are many people in the United States who have an exposed personality, and similar situations often occur, and many people just glance at them curiously.
James didn't care about the gaze around him. Just looked at Yang Fan with bright eyes, and then turned his head and said to Liu Qingfeng. "Is this the genius boy you told me about?"
Genius Teenager ......
Being praised in person, Yang Fan felt that he was embarrassed. Lin Yao on the side was snickering.
As for Zheng Hao, he directly gave Yang Fan a thumbs up.
Brother, you take it!
The fame has spread to the United States!
Without waiting for Liu Qingfeng to say, Yang Fan said embarrassedly, "It's over, it's over!" ”
Looking at Yang Fan's performance, James shook his head and said puzzledly, "Although I have also been exposed to Chinese culture for a long time...... But I still don't understand the modesty of you Chinese. ”
As he spoke, James gave Yang Fan a thumbs up, "I heard Liu Qingfeng talk about your experience, and I admire it." If I were you, I would dare to stand in this airport hall and shout, I am a genius! I'm so awesome! ”
Eighteen years old!
Self-made, tens of millions of assets!
USD!
At least in '99, when the Internet had not really exploded into jaw-dropping energy, it was also a legend in the United States......
So James' admiration is not false at all.
As he spoke, James raised his hands up and shouted, "Come, shout with me...... I'm a genius, I'm a genius! ”
Yang Fan, "......"
Seeing that more people around him noticed this, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head, this guy is not only slippery in Chinese, but also crazy enough!
After introduction, Yang Fan learned that this group of people, that is, James is Liu Qingfeng's friend, the others, the three are tall and tall are the bodyguards invited by James, and the four yellow-skinned ones are all Chinese, and they are all translators.
When Yang Fan was talking to James, Yang Fan and their salute had already been carried into the car by several people.
The group got on two Buick business cars.
The two translators followed Yang Fan, Lin Yao, Zheng Hao, and Chen Dagang, while Liu Qingfeng was dragged by James to catch up.
The exotic customs speeding by outside the window, whether it was Lin Yao or Zheng Hao, were obviously a lot more restrained, this was the first time they had come to a foreign country so far from home.
In the car, an interpreter was introducing San Francisco, "San Francisco, also known as San Francisco, is now a world-famous tourist resort, close to the world's famous high-tech industrial area Silicon Valley, the world's most important high-tech research and development base and an important financial center in the western United States, one of the world's most important science, education and cultural centers, with world-famous institutions of higher learning including the public University of California, Berkeley, and the private Stanford University ......"
Listening to the translator's introduction to the present of San Francisco, Yang Fan was thinking about the history of San Francisco, and more about the history of blood and tears of the Chinese......
The reason why San Francisco has the highest proportion of Chinese is that during the American gold rush, after Chinese laborers moved to the United States, they mostly lived here and did the hardest and most tiring gold panning work!
Thinking about it, Yang Fan thought of the future, how many so-called high-tech enterprises in China, just like the group of people hundreds of years ago, took a salary that could only make ends meet but did the coolest and most tiring work.
And in '99, what opportunities did Silicon Valley have, and what opportunities did the whole of America have outside of Silicon Valley?
In '99, Apple was still in the dark, just after Jobs' ********, watching the light of day......
The giant Google has just started, and it will take nearly five years for Facebook to go live.
Microsoft has just completely beaten Netscape in the browser space, and now it is fighting AOL lively. In the same year, Intel's market value also exceeded 500 million, which is unparalleled in the field of core processors!
Microsoft and Intel are now strategic partners, and it is really the so-called software and hardware!
However, the deep blue giant IBM has just been driven out of the first place in the market value of technology companies by the software giant Microsoft because of the quagmire of continuous losses, and is now in a period of adjustment, gradually transforming from hardware to technical services......
Here, it seems that there are opportunities everywhere!
However, the money in Yang Fan's hands can only be used for millions of dollars, and there is not much that can be done!
This money may only be enough to sow a few seeds.
However, the future ......
Perhaps, it will change because of this! (To be continued.) )
