My Age of Investment

"Hello, I'm looking for the founder of "This Facebook", is this place?"

One day at noon on the weekend, Ryan, who was in a daze, was dreaming of "the company's successful listing" when he was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone. After picking up the phone, he heard a calm male voice on the opposite side.

Rubbing the swollen temple from staying up late last night, Ryan didn't answer directly, but asked who the other party was.

"I'm a lawyer and an angel investor."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Ryan was taken aback and thought he had been accused.

After listening to the second half of the sentence, he put the heart in his throat again.

Since the other party also indicated the identity of an angel investor, it must not be looking for him because of some litigation disputes.

Is it because you fancy your own website and want to invest?

"Sir, what should I call you? Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Just call me Andrew, I'm interested in 'This Facebook'.

If you have an idea for a business, maybe we can talk. "

Ryan was dazed by the sudden good news, and stammered, "Okay~ okay!"

"Then which city are you in? Let's meet at an appointment today."

"In such a hurry? I'm at Stanford."

"A very important factor for entrepreneurial success is action. Make an appointment, I'm in San Francisco, I'll come to you right now..."

…………

…………

"Phyllis, wake up."

Excited, Ryan woke up his partner and couldn't wait to share a good news.

"Angel investors... my God, this is the best news I've heard in the last two weeks."

Phyllis was also very excited after hearing it, their website has been developing very badly recently.

Not only Harvard University, but also the other seven Ivy League schools are all their negative news.

Labels such as "thief" and "plagiarism" are stuck to them, and they cannot be cleaned no matter how much they wash them.

And Facebook has been officially launched in Hachisho Fujisho, registered users are rising, and they are once again behind each other.

In addition, many users on the website have also modified their files and wrote some ugly words, calling them thieves and liars, and will not use this spam website again.

Therefore, they are not only facing difficulties in promotion, but also very worried that the users who have worked so hard to promote are losing.

Now they have basically given up promotion in Ivy League schools and turned to online promotion for other blank universities.

The results have also achieved some, but they are far behind Facebook.

If angel investment can be obtained, it is very hopeful to reverse the current decline.

After the two groomed and dressed, they went to the Stanford Mall in clean and tidy clothes.

This is the place where they and Andrew agreed to meet. The environment is more beautiful and suitable for talking.

…………

…………

On the other side, Andrew made a phone call to Xia Jingxing, informing him that the fish had already taken the bait and could arrange an action.

Xia Jingxing hung up the phone and ordered Yang Niu to invite someone immediately.

This time, he was going to nail Ryan and Phyllis to the pillar of shame, lest the other party resurge and cause another accident.

"These two are David and Miller of the Stanford Daily, and this is the founder of our website, Darren, Little Dog."

Yang Niu invited the two student bosses from the campus daily, and was introducing them to both parties.

"Hello!"

David and Miller of the Stanford Daily were both white and in their twenties, they shook hands with Xia Jingxing and the dog very enthusiastically.

I think when the foreign girl asked these two guys for help,

The other party didn't give face at all, and it was Nicky, the eldest sister of the Sisterhood, who came forward to handle this matter.

Now with the development and growth of Facebook, it has been promoted to the eight Ivy League schools in one fell swoop, and it has become a campus star entrepreneurial project. The attitude of the other party has suddenly reversed.

The foreign girl said that she invited the two of them to drink coffee, and the two of them ran after them.

"I would like to interview Darren and your team? You talk about the creation and development of Facebook. Students are very interested in this."

David asked in a consultative tone, "Is this okay?"

"Of course." Xia Jingxing said very generously.

"That's great, then I'll be taking a group photo of your team for the cover."

Miller patted the camera on his chest, "Look, I'm going to bring it all."

Xia Jingxing glanced at Yang Niu, this thought is really subtle.

The five of them walked out of the school gate and headed for the Stanford Shopping Center.

A few minutes later, when everyone walked to a well-decorated cafe, the foreign girl greeted with a smile, "Just this one, I've drank their freshly ground coffee, and it tastes very good."

The boys naturally had no objections and came in.

…………

…………

"A million-dollar valuation is a bit too high, and you only have less than 3,000 registered users."

Andrew had been chatting with Ryan and Phyllis for a while, and he saw Xia Jingxing and his party while facing the cafe door.

So I started acting according to the script.

Andrew shouted angrily: "I'm not an idiot, I asked before I came here, and your "This Facebook" is not the only campus social networking site.

There is also a website called "The Facebook" that is bigger and faster than you. "

Ryan and Phyllis were a little confused, didn't they have a good chat just now? Why did Mr. Andrew suddenly raise his voice three degrees.

If the price can't be negotiated, you can negotiate again, you don't need to bring a roar!

The voice was so loud that not only Xia Jingxing and his party heard it, but also noticed the guests in other seats, and they all turned their attention to it.

David and Miller, the two newsmakers, are even more stunned. They can hear it. Isn't this the "This Facebook" they have been looking for?

Xia Jingxing walked towards Andrew quickly, and the others quickly followed.

"Is it the two of you?"

After approaching, Xia Jingxing saw Ryan and Phyllis with their backs to the door, pretending to be surprised and indignant, "This Facebook is made by the two of you?

Pretend to come for an interview, then extract information and build a website exactly like ours? "

Ryan and Phyllis had wonderful expressions on their faces, and they didn't expect to meet Daeron here.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was still a little terrified when he saw the Lord.

Ryan's face changed, knowing that he had heard all the words just now, so he simply stopped covering it up, "Yes, This Facebook was founded by us!

Darren, if you look down on us, then we will create a website to compete with you to see who is the ultimate winner. "

Xia Jingxing pointed at Lane's nose and scolded: "You are not at all shameful, you only know plagiarism, and the website's appearance and functions all imitate us.

Even so, did you win? No one looks down on your website.

All users are tricked by you to register, you are thieves, liars, losers..."

Lane and Phyllis are both young people in their twenties. In front of so many people, they were scolded by their noses, so naturally they couldn't swallow it.

They couldn't find an excuse to refute, so they called Xia Jingxing "China guy", "yellow pig", "pig tail braid", "get out of American land"...

Outright racism!

Not only Xia Jingxing heard it, David and Miller, and even everyone in the cafe heard it.

Seeing that the scolding battle became more and more intense, several waiters hurried up to stop it.

Andrew played with his upper body, looked at Ryan and Phyllis and said, "I didn't expect your website to be completely plagiarized, or to use such a despicable method of "gathering information from interviews".

And you are still "racist", what is the school motto of Stanford University? - Let the wind of freedom blow.

I'm a biracial child, my mother is Asian, should I get out of the US too? "

Ryan waved his hands again and again and said inarticulately: "I... I didn't mean that, and I didn't mean to insult Mr. Andrew."

"Stop talking!"

Andrew said with a serious expression, "I take back everything I just said, I will not invest in a "racially discriminatory" team.

With your narrow mentality, you will never be able to make a company that "changes the world". "

"Because your eyes are so long," Andrew gestured with his hands to a length of three centimeters.

After that, Andrew got up and was about to leave.

Before leaving, he turned his head coquettishly and handed a business card to Xia Jingxing, "I am very interested in social networking sites, you can chat with me when you have time."

After finishing speaking, Andrew, dressed in a high-end suit, leather shoes, and a famous watch, walked away with a step, leaving two groups of people looking at each other.

As soon as Andrew left, Ryan and Phyllis were naturally not interested in staying any longer, and shrugged their heads and left.

David and Miller looked excited, but they didn't expect to see such a big play here.

"Plagiarized Website Appears", "Revenge with Facebook Team", "Interview for Business Intelligence", "Angel Investor", and the most explosive "Racism".

This is cool, the news topics for the next week are all available.

David and Miller were not familiar with Xia Jingxing, so naturally they would not think about comforting each other, their minds were full of news.

The little dog was full of indignation of "the master humiliates the minister to death", and was about to pounce on him just now, but was pressed down by Xia Jingxing.

Kristina turned her head and glanced at Xia Jingxing, the expression on the other side was flat, and she could not see emotional fluctuations.

"Are you okay?" Yang Niu asked concerned.

"fine."

Xia Jingxing was actually pretending to be okay, he just wanted to hit someone.

But it would be unreasonable to do that, and it would not be conducive to the subsequent development of the script.

In his previous life, he spent eight years in the United States, and he saw a lot of discrimination.

But seeing more and seeing more, does not mean that you can really endure.

He is not ABC, he has his own country and is proud of his country.

He believes that people who "have the motherland in their hearts" will feel angry when faced with such discrimination.

Of course, there are exceptions for some people, those who face discrimination, hate their own skin more.
