"Huh? What kind of resume is this, and you still need a folder? Tang Bao took the folder, took the thick one, and asked in surprise.

Horst paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Boss, this guy's resume is indeed too thick, and it is slightly different from ordinary job resumes, you can see for yourself." Even I had the illusion that he wasn't here to apply for a job. ”

"Different? Oh, I want to see that. Tang Bao smiled, and then opened the folder casually, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, what caught his eye was a resume, a venture capital project plan. Tang Bao looked up at Horst and asked, "Horst, are you sure that you are giving me a job resume?" ”

"Yes, boss. You saw that right, this is the person's resume. A Venture Capital Project Proposal! So I feel like he's not looking for a job, but looking for an investment. Horst confirmed.

Forehead.

Tang Bao is really very surprised, this resume is really very different.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Tang Bao's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief, and he hurriedly opened the project plan, and suddenly had a feeling of being hit by a pie falling from the sky, dizzy, and feeling that happiness came too suddenly. Because of the investment objectives of this venture capital project plan, he is too familiar with it.

"Horst, you just received this resume today? As for others, can you find him? Tang Bao asked eagerly.

"Uh."

Horst was confused, and secretly said What's wrong with the boss, just now he still had a lack of interest, why did he suddenly react so much.

"Boss, he's still waiting outside."

"Alright, you go and bring him to my office, and I'm going to meet this man in person." Tang Bao urged.

Although Horst was strange, he also knew what his boss was told, and he could only do it.

A few minutes passed.

A man of about thirty years old walked in with Horst, dressed in a crisp suit, without the slightest wrinkle, holding a briefcase in his hand, yellow hair curled slightly, a high nose, blue eyes, looking very energetic.

This is the first impression left by the visitor to Tang Bao.

When Tang Bao was observing the man in front of him, the other party was also observing Tang Bao. There was only one thought in my heart, and it was as young as the newspaper said!

When he saw the report about Tang Bao and Phoenix Investment Group in the newspaper, he went to collect the business scope of Phoenix Investment Group, and happened to learn that Phoenix Investment Group was recruiting a head of venture capital department. So, he did not hesitate to fire the original timid boss, flew from California to New York with his hard work, and deliberately submitted his investment plan as a resume. He believes that the investment project he has found has very great development potential, and if Phoenix Investment Group does not like this project, he will not hesitate to leave, on the contrary, he will happily join Phoenix Investment Group with this investment project.

"Hello, Don, my name is Del Capuz. It's a great honor to have you! Capps stepped forward and briefly introduced himself.

The voice is sonorous, enthusiastic, passionate, and does not show the slightest stage fright because it is the boss of a large company, and the performance is generous, neither humble nor arrogant, just right, indicating that this person knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to grasp the measure. This is Tang Bao's second impression of him.

"Hello."

Tang Bao also hurriedly stood up, shook hands with him, and beckoned him to sit down.

Yes.

Horst was secretly surprised, his boss was too enthusiastic about the guy in front of him, even if Mr. Miller of Citigroup came over last time, his performance was nothing more than that.

Seeing Tang Bao stretch out his hand, Capps was slightly flattered, and he also stretched out his hand enthusiastically.

The two hands are held together in this way, and this moment is also an eternity of history.

Later, after his retirement, Capuz described it in his biography: It was a great moment and a starting point that changed my life. Yes, very great, at least for me, from that moment on, a new me, made me brilliant. I often proudly say in my friends' gatherings that I had a wonderful moment, and this wonderful moment has made my wonderful and brilliant life.

God is on me!

Of course.

Now Capps doesn't know what his life path will be like in the future.

Wait for the Capuz to take a seat.

Tang Bao also returned to his boss's chair and said with a smile: "Mr. Capus, this resume of yours is really different." ”

Capps smiled slightly, and continued to wait for the following.

"I'm very interested in your venture capital project proposal, and I can see that I have done it very carefully, tell me, what do you think?" Tang Bao said.

"Before coming to New York, I worked for a venture capital firm, which was a selection of thousands of investments. However, the company thought that the risk was too high and did not approve of the project, and I was distressed...... Then, when I saw a job advertisement in the newspaper for the head of the venture capital department at Phoenix Investment Group, I quit my job and came here with this investment project proposal. Cappus recounted his experience slightly, which seemed ordinary, but he could see his determination to make up his mind for this venture capital project, and of course, he also had a confidence that others could not understand.

Tang Bao listened and nodded from time to time.

"If, Kaps, I said what if Phoenix Investment Group doesn't approve of this venture capital project either?" After Capus finished speaking, Tang Bao asked.

"Then I will choose to leave!" Capps replied without thinking.

Hear the words.

Tang Bao laughed, "It seems that you have a lot of confidence in this project, and it just so happens that I am also very optimistic about this project, and I appreciate your courage and self-confidence even more." ”

"Thank you."

Cappus smiled.

"From today onwards, you will be the head of the venture capital department, and you will be responsible for the venture capital projects you bring to the table. Welcome to Phoenix Investment Group! Tang Bao smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, just recently, the venture capital department has hired a director, so you will be in charge of this department together, but you can do venture capital separately." The performance of the two of you will determine everything. ”

"Thank you, boss!"

Capps smiled and thanked that he didn't care if he was in charge of the venture capital department, he cared that he could take charge of the venture capital project himself.

……

Why did Tang Bao suddenly meet with Capus and after a brief exchange, recruit him into the company as the head of the venture capital department? The reason is very simple, the venture capital project plan he brought, the target company to be invested, is Cisco!

Yes, Cisco.

Tang Bao couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, but he almost ignored such a famous company.

Cisco Systems, founded in December 1984, was created by a faculty couple from Stanford University, Leonard Posak and Santi Lerner, who designed the "multi-protocol router" networking device for the Stanford campus network, integrating the otherwise incompatible computer LANs together to form a unified network. This is a true sign of the arrival of the Internet era!

In fact.

Mr. and Mrs. Bossak and Mr. and Mrs. Santi were not the inventors of the router, but they were able to skillfully apply this technology and successfully built a networking system that could connect a large number of computers at Stanford University, and they were well aware of the potential commercial value of this technology, so they suggested to the university that the router's networking technology be promoted to the outside world so that more people could benefit, but the university was not interested in the idea, so Posack and Santi decided to do it themselves. They obtained a patent from Stanford University on the software and hardware of the router, and left to form a company that promoted networking technology, which became known as Cisco Systems.

However.

Cisco's path has not been easy, and like many entrepreneurs, Posack and Santi have faced their biggest problem: lack of funding.

Now.

Tang Bao also recalled that the current Cisco is indeed facing financial difficulties, and Bosak and Santi are the top technical talents, but in terms of running a business, it seems that there are some deficiencies, they have no clear strategic goals, no marketing strategy, and even do not know how to expand the market.

Bossak and Santi understood that for Cisco to grow, they had to get funding from outside. So, the couple began the difficult road of fundraising. They visited a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, and they were all rejected, and there were 72 venture capital firms in total.

At the moment, it seems that the company that Capuz was in was one of the seventy-two venture capital firms.

"Hey, I didn't expect to find a treasure."

Tang Bao was alone in the office, thinking that Capuz actually brought the risky project of investing in Cisco, he really felt like he was hit by a pie. Historically, Sequoia Capital spent only $2.5 million to gain the lead in Cisco Systems.

However, now, I'm afraid that Tang Bao will be cheaper in the end.
