Fifty-three Sequoia Capital
Early the next morning, Su Zhen woke up at more than eight o'clock, Rachel next to him was still asleep, so Su Zhen got up first, went downstairs to the yard to play a boxing, this year Su Zhen has completely developed the habit of boxing every morning, a day of not practicing, but feel exhausted, after practicing open the refrigerator, fortunately, Rachel is not the kind of lady who does not eat fireworks in the world, the refrigerator is still relatively stocked, Su Zhen fried a few eggs and a few slices of ham, and baked a few slices of toast, and a little milk, A simple breakfast is complete.
Su Zhen had just made breakfast, and Rachel had just gone downstairs.
"Let's get up and have breakfast together"
Su Zhen greeted with a smile.
"Oh, Su, you actually know how to cook"
Rachel was surprised, "Of course, I'm not bad at cooking."
Su Zhen said a little proudly, this is not fake, when he worked alone in other provinces in the first two years after graduating from university, he also practiced good cooking skills.
Rachel happily walked up to Su Zhen and gave him a good morning kiss, and then sat down, Su Zhen found that the girl was wearing a transparent silk pajamas when she got up, and she didn't even wear underwear.
While eating, Su Zhen's hand dishonestly got into Rachel's nightgown, so soon the two lost interest in eating breakfast and started their "morning exercise" in the restaurant
。
AFTER MORE THAN AN HOUR, THE TWO OF THEM OFFICIALLY WENT OUT, AND RACHEL DROVE TO THE INVESTMENT COMPANY, SU ZHEN PLANNED TO GO TO THE INVESTMENT COMPANY IN THE MORNING, AND THEN GO TO GOOGLE IN THE AFTERNOON.
The company is located in the west of San Francisco and has the "Wall Street West"
A commercial building on Montgomery Street, the opposite of the company's commercial building is the headquarters of the famous Wells Fargo Bank in the United States, of course, the investment company only rents a floor in the commercial building as an office area, the overall price of this commercial building is not enough to sell the current Su Zhen, just to buy a floor will cost most of the investment company's funds, that is extremely cost-effective, unless Google goes public, it is possible to buy a building here.
The company is located on the fifteenth floor, as soon as Su Zhen got out of the elevator, he saw several huge English characters of Redmaple Capital, which means Red Maple Capital, originally Su Zhen was going to name the investment company the same name as the publishing house, named Sequoia Capital, but Rachel told him that the name Sequoia Capital had already existed, and the other party was still an old family, a large venture capital group with a total capital of more than one billion, Su Zhen was very depressed, so he named Red Maple Capital, and the name of the publishing house was also changed to Red Maple.
WHAT SU ZHEN DIDN'T KNOW WAS THAT IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, IT WAS THIS SEQUOIA CAPITAL THAT INVESTED IN GOOGLE AND YAHOO, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED EARLIER, FROM AN ORDINARY LARGE-SCALE VENTURE CAPITAL COMPANY TO A WORLD-FAMOUS SUPER-LARGE INVESTMENT COMPANY WITH BILLIONS OF FUNDS.
Rachel took Su Zhen straight into the company, the company is very large, but like most private venture capital, there are not many personnel, the venture capital company is actually similar to a financial company, but the accounting company is to give people the company statistics of assets, and make suggestions to earn business expenses, while the venture capital company is to calculate the assets and potential of the company that needs to be invested, and occasionally need to provide some management support for inexperienced young companies, Su Zhen looked at it, a huge company, there are only dozens of staff.
The company's working environment is very relaxed, lounge, coffee room, sports room are readily available, and even equipped with a canteen, Su Zhen said to Rachel at the beginning of the company's opening that the company should provide employees with a good and relaxed working environment, and do not need to be as tense as the general financial company.
It seems that Rachel is doing a very good job, and looking at the expressions of the employees, Rachel is more respectful than awe, which makes Su Zhen very satisfied.
After a general tour of the company's environment, Su Zhen asked Rachel to gather all the employees and held a meeting, the meeting was very simple, Rachel introduced several middle-level companies to Su Zhen, and then met with the employees OK, and the other is to give a bonus to the company's outstanding employees under the auspices of Rachel, because this is also the first month since the company was officially listed outstanding employee awards, only to be awarded by Su Zhen.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw Su Zhen for the first time, after all, Su Zhen's age was there, so all they thought in their hearts was that Su Zhen was probably the son of a Chinese American family.
At noon, I had a simple working meal with the employees in the company's canteen, the canteen is in the form of a buffet, which takes care of the needs of all employees, and this canteen is also set up at Su Zhen's suggestion, in fact, except for a small number of high-tech companies, most companies in the United States do not provide working meals, so Su Zhen let the company provide this treatment, which is very recognized by the employees.
Although Su Zhen has never managed a company, he is also a person who has worked outside for two years, so he naturally knows what the employees need, so he is very tolerant of the treatment of employees in his company, and it doesn't cost much to say this, right?
AFTER EATING, SU ZHEN WENT TO SILICON VALLEY UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF RAPEL, WHERE GOOGLE WAS LOCATED.
Su Zhen originally thought that since Silicon Valley belonged to the city of San Francisco, it should not be far away, which Rachel told him that although Silicon Valley nominally belongs to the city of San Francisco, it is closer to another big city, San Jose.
It's just that apparently Rachel's geography is not very good, Su Zhengao only understood for a long time that it turned out that it was the same as those prefecture-level cities in China, there are generally several subordinate counties under a city, and Silicon Valley is among those subordinate counties, and because the shape of San Francisco is a long strip, San Francisco is in the northernmost area, while Silicon Valley is in the southernmost part, dozens of kilometers apart.
After driving for more than an hour, the car finally arrived in Silicon Valley, a famous place that Su Zhen and his two generations had been famous for a long time.
When she came to Google, Rachel revealed the identities and intentions of the two to the reception, but heard an unexpected answer.
"Sorry ma'am, Mr. Larry and Mr. Sergei are having a reception, please go to the reception room with me for a while."
As he spoke, he posed to the two of them.
"Can you tell us what kind of guests they're receiving?"
Su Zhen asked.
The front desk hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "It's Sequoia Capital." ”
WHEN SU ZHEN HEARD THIS, HE FROWNED, THIS IS STILL A NARROW ROAD, HE WAS STILL THINKING ABOUT THIS COMPANY IN THE INVESTMENT COMPANY BEFORE, BUT HE DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO HIT HIS HEAD WITH ATTENTION, NO WAY, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT GOOGLE WAS ALREADY A SWEET AND SWEET POTATO AT THIS TIME, "WHAT DO LARRY AND SERGEI WANT TO DO, THEY ACTUALLY HIDE FROM ME TO MEET PEOPLE FROM OTHER VENTURE CAPITAL COMPANIES, WE ARE THE LARGEST SHAREHOLDERS OF THIS COMPANY"
Rachel said indignantly, "Take me to them immediately"
Su Zhen was indeed very calm, and comforted Rachel and said, "Don't get excited, maybe it may not be what we imagined, or wait until we meet Larry and Sergei."
。
IN MY HEART, I MADE UP MY MIND THAT NO MATTER WHAT, GOOGLE'S EQUITY MUST BE HELD IN MY HANDS, AFTER ALL, THE BENEFITS ARE TOO GREAT, EVEN IF IT IS WORTH PAYING A BIG PRICE, AND ALTHOUGH THE OTHER PARTY IS A BIG VENTURE CAPITAL COMPANY WITH ASSETS OF HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS, IT MAY NOT HAVE AS MUCH CASH IN HIS HANDS.
So under Su Zhen's comfort, the two of them were received at the front desk and prepared to go to the reception room to sit for a while.
