At the end of July, San Francisco International Airport. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info exit, a line of Chinese appeared.

But at San Francisco International Airport, 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 large number of Chinese here, after all, except for Liu Qingfeng, they are all going abroad for the first time, and when they come to San Francisco, a city with a relatively strong Chinese style, the strangeness will of course be reduced.

Of course, San Francisco's proximity to Silicon Valley is the most important reason!

Since Yang Fan has IT-related businesses, how can he not come to Silicon Valley to take a turn when he comes to the United States.

Speaking of Yang Fan, this is the first time he has set foot on American soil, and it is really quite novel to look at the blonde beauties with blue eyes.

Probably because the novelty went too far, Yang Fan was inadvertently stepped on by Lin Yao when he was walking.

It must be unintentional!

That's what Yang Fan thinks.

Liu Qingfeng's friend who came to greet him is also an investor, a bearded white man, named James, with a very cheerful personality, who loves to make a fuss and especially praise people.

As soon as they met, James applauded, "Wow...... Welcome to the talented boy from China, Yang, and his beautiful girlfriend, Lin. Oh, and can't forget my good friend, Jung! ”

Well, aside from the slightly bizarre title, James Chinese slippery......

After a pleasantry, although I felt that what James said was the truth, but Yang Fan was a cheeky guy who was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said again and again, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be ......"

As for Lin Yao, she pinched the corners of her clothes, her face was like a red apple, or like a fiery sunset at six o'clock in the afternoon in autumn.

Extremely tempting, Yang Fan had an urge to kiss him.

After the greetings, the group got into the two Ford business cars brought by James.

The Ford limousine drove very smoothly, Yang Fan sat by the window in the middle row, and Lin Yao sat next to him, smelling the faint fragrance of the girl, but his eyes fell on the scenery speeding by outside the window, but what he thought about was the current environment in the United States.

In '99, Apple was still in the dark, but after Jobs re-entered the ownership, it was moving forward with the dawn.

The giant Google has just started, and it will take nearly five years for Facebook to go live. Microsoft has just completely defeated Netscape in the browser space, and now it is battling AOL with excitement. 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, because of the quagmire of continuous losses, 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, and is now in a period of adjustment, gradually transforming from hardware to technical services.

It seems that there are opportunities everywhere......

HOWEVER, YANG FAN CALCULATES THAT THE MONEY IN HIS HAND CAN ONLY BE USED FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND THERE IS NOT MUCH HE CAN DO, AND HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO THINK ABOUT GIANTS LIKE MICROSOFT, INTEL, AND IBM, EVEN APPLE, WHICH IS STILL STUCK IN THE QUAGMIRE, IS NOT SOMETHING HE CAN MOVE.

Speaking of which, the only chance is still the fledgling Google, although Google Yang Fan feels that he is not very sure.

Maybe this trip to the United States may not be able to do anything, but to sow a few seeds.

But the future may change because of these seeds......

Who knows!

The van left the airport, Silicon Valley was in the south, but the car was heading north to San Francisco.

After entering the city of San Francisco, you can reduce your speed, and when you pass through Chinatown, you can still see those antique Chinese buildings not far away, and even more Chinese style than most cities in China. Seeing this, Yang Fan smiled bitterly, which is not a sarcasm.

The translator on the other side saw Yang Fan's expression and said with deep sympathy, "I didn't feel it before, but since I came to Stanford, I have seen many traditional buildings demolished when I return to China, which is really a pity!" ”

Bemoan......

Yang Fan is thinking about the next ten years, and there will be a lot of sighs. In terms of demolition, it is only 99 years now, and the rhythm is still early.

After learning all the way, Yang Fan already knew that this translator's name was Wang Zetian, who was about twenty-seven or eight years old, and was very gentle, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, and wearing a decent suit that made people very energetic. He is not Chinese, and his nationality is still Chinese. It was only in '94 that he went abroad to study, and now he is studying for a Ph.D. in computer science at Stanford University.

Yang Fan is quite strange about this, next to Silicon Valley, does he, a Ph.D. student in Stanford computer science, need to be a translator, thinking about it, he asked, "By the way, why did you come out to be a translator?" ”

Wang Tianze smiled and said a little unnaturally, "Well, I just came out of the original company, and I couldn't find a good job for a while, so I became a translator first." ”

The unnaturalness on his face didn't escape Yang Fan's eyes, but the two just met today, and Yang Fan naturally wouldn't chase after him. Then he turned the topic to other aspects, and after talking, he learned that Wang Zetian was from the capital, but he was not the kind of second generation who did not worry about food and clothing.

Also, the kind of people who don't pursue the second generation and don't have the time to be a translator, of course, very few of them can be admitted to Stanford.

"What, is it a public study abroad?" Yang Fan asked, it is not so easy to go abroad in 99 years, but after going abroad, the most difficult thing is to work to earn tuition, living expenses, and even subsidize the family.

Speaking of this, Wang Tianze showed a touch of embarrassment, "I'm embarrassed to say, I came out of the exam, and I sold all the houses at home in order to go abroad, and my parents have been renting a house for the past few years." ”

Sell a house in the capital and go abroad!

Well, fortunately, Wang Tianze went abroad early, and now he has also been admitted to Stanford's computer science doctorate. If you change it to a few years later, you are an ordinary international student, and the money you earn after graduation may not be able to catch up with the housing prices in Beijing. Thinking about it, Yang Fan said with a smile, "No matter how hard it was before, it is now over, you can be regarded as having survived, and it is not a matter of minutes for you to help your parents buy a house after graduation." ”

Stanford's Ph.D. has an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars in Silicon Valley, and in these years, it is relatively easy to help his parents buy a good house in the capital with this annual salary.

As for returning to China, you definitely belong to the standard high-quality talents, whether you go to a ministry or a company, it is no problem to directly mix three bedrooms and two living rooms.

Wang Tianze also said with a concern, "Yes, it's almost out." ”

After listening for a long time, Lin Yao interjected and asked, "Then do you return to China after graduation or stay in Silicon Valley to develop?" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tianze scratched his head and said, "To be honest, Silicon Valley obviously has more opportunities, but the family is in China, and it is really difficult to decide for a while." ”

This topic made Yang Fan a little moved, to talk about computer science, for many years Stanford ranked first, followed by MIT and the University of California, Berkeley. The gold content of Stanford's computer science doctor can be imagined. (To be continued.) )
