Lin Yi stayed in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley for a few days, of course, he didn't arrange any private trips, let alone go to Stanford to find Shangguan Sakurako.

One is because the two of them really don't know each other.

The second is because Lin Yi has not been idle these days, and he is not here for sightseeing.

He honestly followed the itinerary arranged by Jianni Liu, and met with one venture capital institution after another as if he was in a hurry.

The white old man, who was too similar to each other to be able to distinguish clearly, was a little dazzled because he saw too densely, and the crackling English in his ears all day made him allergic, but fortunately, he also brought Liu Jianni.

Of course, she is not a simple translator, as the CFO of Wanli Travel is an important negotiator.

In fact, Lin Yi is not the first time to pull venture capital, when he was looking for round B, he ran around the capital at the beginning, and it happened to be Liu Jianni who took him with him at that time, except for the different languages and processes, there was not much difference.

"Do you recognize all these people?"

In between the trips, Lin Yi curiously asked Liu Jianni for experience, who has worked in multinational companies for many years.

"Part of it. Only those who have more contact can be distinguished, and those on the first side can only be remembered temporarily after the introduction, as long as they don't admit their mistakes when they are in person. ”

"So it's also very important to prepare before the meeting, who you want to meet today, and who can make a decision."

Liu Jianni introduced her experience over there, and her work in this area was very well prepared, which saved Lin Yi a lot of energy.

Of course, Lin Yi also made a lot of efforts for this high-stakes touring roadshow, including accepting the redesign of himself from the styling consultant hired by Jianny Liu.

Specifically, it is to comb the big back hair often left by the domineering president on TV, and put on a haute couture suit and leather shoes that are worth a lot of money at first glance.

The image is completely new, when Lin Yi took a photo of herself and sent it back to Gu Caiwei to see, she was smiling happily there.

The good thing is that the whole person does look more energetic and older, at least no investor will think he is funny when he meets:

"Oh, Lin, are you an adult?"

However, there are also side effects, it may be that he is dressed like that kind of prince and grandson, Liu Jianni said that many investors have asked Lin Yi in private whether he has any family background.

Don't think that foreigners are asking about gossip, they are very pragmatic, if Lin Yi really has some terrible background, even if it has nothing to do with the career of Wanli Travel, it is a major plus.

There was an urban legend a long time ago that "foreigners don't look at relationships".

Lin Yi didn't have any experience in this and didn't dare to talk nonsense, anyway, in the financial industry, this set of things is very mature and above board.

Liu Qing is definitely not the only high-ranking disciple recruited by Goldman Sachs, and he is not even particularly prominent among those people.

Of course, it's too earthy to call the relationship, and they generally call it "resources".

It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't.

In addition, he also prepared a complete set of characters for himself with Liu Jianni, including all the experiences of the first half of his life.

For example, he has actually been exposed to the entrepreneurial stories of Silicon Valley elders such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs since he was a child, and he yearns for it.

For example, he has been teaching himself programming since he was in middle school, and he has been able to master high programming skills while coping with a heavy workload and successfully entering a major university.

Highlight one conclusion that he is a genius.

The most favorable evidence for this is that Lin Yi personally completed the first version of the first entrepreneurial project, the casual takeaway network.

The story of the casual takeaway network has also been greatly exaggerated.

Because after each group acquired the casual takeaway network, it has quickly surpassed Ele.me to be the leader in the online ordering industry, which largely depends on the team and operational capabilities of each group itself, and of course, it is also inseparable from the strong financial support that has always been strong.

In Lin Yi and Liu Jianni's description, the main reason has become the "advanced business model" and "superior product concept" of the casual takeaway network itself, in short, the success of each group of takeaway is Lin Yiliu's good foundation.

There is a bit of "Wang Xing's school if he hadn't been sold to Chen Yizhou at the beginning, he would have succeeded a long time ago".

Needless to say, the 10,000-mile travel that is being done at the moment starts from the word "travel" in the name, rather than the "taxi" of the other two, which fully demonstrates Lin Yi's wisdom and long-term vision.

All of the above, of course, are bragging.

The part of his childhood was completely fictional, and there was no need to worry that anyone would suddenly jump out and punch him in the face anyway.

At least there is some basis for the post-college part, but Lin Yi is embarrassed to say the word "realistic", which is really putting gold on his face.

In short, there is a principle: where you can brag, you should brag as much as you can, and where you really can't brag, you must find a way to brag.

Lin Yi can be said to have participated in and experienced it from a first-person perspective, how did the "extraordinary experiences" of those celebrities come about.

If an ordinary person is prone to depression, no one will think that it is great, at most it is just a melancholy deflated three.

And once he succeeds, some people will find out from his melancholy eyes that he has long had the temperament of an artist.

In fact, Lin Yi didn't want to make himself so exaggerated, and if he wanted to express the meaning of "I am a genius" without any psychological burden, it also required deep skills.

But it can't be helped, they don't appreciate the flat set.

Investors are very professional, they have the ability to make industry judgments, but the money of venture capital institutions is also raised, and they also need to have stories to tell their bosses.

The nature of human beings is to love to listen to stories.

Lin Yi chose to follow the local customs, shared this deeply processed "true story" over and over again, and then received some compliments that were true or false.

After wandering around the West Coast, they found that the response from investors was a little more subdued than they expected.

Liu Jianni will not dryly bring Lin over to come, she has communicated in advance, this is an unexpected situation, she said sensitively:

"There must be something that has changed, not long ago they were very popular with Uber, and they were also very interested in the concept of our domestic version of Uber, and several of them met but did not agree with each other."

Lin Yi was still wondering if he was at odds with the investor, but Liu Jianni categorically rejected this speculation.

"It's not your problem, I think you have made a lot of progress this time than when you were on a casual takeaway network, and we are all in accordance with the plan discussed in advance, and there is nothing wrong with it."

I didn't understand it for a while, it didn't mean that their trip would stop, so Liu Jianni still arranged for him to continue to fly to the East Coast to meet with another wave of venture capital.
