Chapter 140 The language is amazing

When Du Qiu bought a good car, night was already falling and the streets were filled with lights. He guided him by phone to Monroe Parker, where venture capital companies in Silicon Valley were gathered, and found Jennifer at the entrance of a high-end supermarket.

“Auto, I like your taste in the car, the perfect car, although it is a bit expensive, it is indeed the best choice for travel.”

Du Qiu bought a Bentley Azure convertible sports car that was just released in 1995. It costs more than US$350,000, which is 80,000 more than the famous supercar Lamborghini Diablo. It is full of nouveau riche atmosphere. However, if it is a two-person self-driving tour, the comfort of this car is far greater than that of pure sports cars such as Lamborghini or Ferrari, so it is indeed a very good choice.

"Jenny, I like your taste in clothing, too."

Jennifer usually keeps her hair in a simple and exquisite business-style clothes, and has a cool and cold look that is not as good as fireworks. At this time, she is wearing long hair, loose long knitted cardigan and old washed jeans, and carrying two large shopping bags, fresh and sexy, gentle and tempting, and looks like a gentle and friendly young woman. Du Qiu was amazed by it. She stared at it for several seconds before jumping out of the car, took the shopping bag from her hand, opened the door of the passenger car, bent down and said, "Beauty, please come here."

Jennifer was very satisfied with his gentlemanly performance, and got into the car with a smile, saying, "It's a bit late now. Let's go to Los Angeles tomorrow. You have invited me to eat a lot of delicious food in China and Japan. I'll make steak tonight."

"You can cook?"

"Of course, I can only make salads and steaks."

"Okay, the steak is good, too." Du Qiu put the shopping bag in the back seat of the car, started the car, and asked, "Where do you live?"

“It’s nearby.”

Jennifer lives in an apartment with only about 90 square meters. The apartment is similar to Rachel's set in "Friends", two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. Du Qiu was a little surprised after entering the door and said, "I always thought you lived in a villa with a butler and servant."

"I don't have the talent of you, nor the luck of dylan. I have just worked for two years, so I don't have the money to buy a villa, and even this house is rented."

"Come on, when I came to Monroe Park in May, you drove a Ferrari."

"That's Tim Draper's, I'm just borrowing it, just like my mom's private jet." Jennifer pulled out two boxes of steak from his shopping bag and greeted: "It takes a little time to thaw the steak, my laptop is in the bedroom, if you want to use it, get it yourself."

Du Qiu had been struggling with the computer for more than a month, and didn't want to touch it for the time being. So he sat down on the sofa in the living room, picked up several fashion magazines on the coffee table and started reading it. The room was in a short tranquility, and there was no other noise except for the sound of Jennifer washing and cutting vegetables.

About two or three minutes later, Jennifer said, "There are many posts online about Netscape that want to acquire Yahoo, do you know?"

"I heard it."

"Does iView want to bid for competition?"

"No." Du Qiu was hesitant when he got the news from Masayoshi Son, but now he has made a decision and said: "Yahoo is an attractive beauty, but it is not suitable for iview."

"Why?"

"IView is a technology-driven company, and Yahoo is a content-driven company." Du Qiu flipped a page of magazine and explained: "The Internet is a brand new industry, and all companies are on the same starting line. Whoever has the leading technology will have the advantage. However, content creation is a traditional industry that has existed for hundreds of years. Faced with the competition from high-quality content suppliers such as The New York Times, Times, and ESPN, if Yahoo wants to grow and grow, it must invest a lot of money to cultivate its own reporters and editorial team. IView has too little funds to support them. After the acquisition, it may destroy both companies."

"Do you think it's too little if $200 million?"

"Add two more zeros, it's barely enough." Du Qiu smiled and said, "And I don't think Yang Zhiyuan will sell Yahoo."

"I think so too. If he wants to sell it, he will sell it to Netscape and American Online at the beginning of this year." Jennifer analyzed while mixing salad: "The success of you and Dlyan will stimulate him to strengthen his belief in running the company."

"Maybe."

Du Qiu and Jennifer have a strange relationship. Although they have always been friends, they do not care about each other's life, interests and emotions at all. When they are together, there is no other topic to talk about except work, business and occasional teasing.

This time was no exception. After talking about Yahoo, the room fell silent again. It was not until Du Qiu finished reading all the magazines that he broke the tranquility again and said, "Jennifer, are there any coo candidates suitable for IView in DeFengjie's database?"

In addition to giving money, venture capital companies in Silicon Valley also help startups improve management and recruit talents. Coo is the abbreviation of the chief operating officer and assists the daily operations of CEO management companies. If used in the domestic officialdom for analogy, it is roughly equivalent to the executive vice mayor and is a very important position.

Jennifer turned his head and asked, "Do you want to recruit Coo so quickly? Is it because you don't trust dylan?"

"It's not that I don't trust, but dylan is only good at strategic planning and daily management. Once there are more employees and projects, he will be blind." Du Qiu also looked back at her and said, "Jenny, compared to venture capital, I think you are more suitable for media public relations. Why don't you come to IView to be the chief media officer."

Jennifer smiled and joked, "In your father's words, are you destroying the bridge across the river?"

"The purpose of burning bridges across the river is that after you helped me, I kicked you away. Now I have provided you with a more generous salary job, which should be called gratitude." Du Qiu explained two idioms and said, "You don't have to worry about dylan. Although he is lustful, he is very sensible and will not create obstacles for you at work."

"Auto, in the decades of Silicon Valley history, except for you, only dylan can establish a distinct image in just a few months, allowing many investors to know and remember him." Jennifer stood by the stove and waved the spatula and said, "dylan is very cunning and very good at manipulating public opinion, so iView does not need a media official, he is enough."

Du Qiu was slightly stunned. When he thought about it carefully, it was really the case. In a company, people who are particularly strong or successful will be as dazzling as the sun, covering up the light of their companions. For example, Apple, many people know Jobs, but they don’t know Wozniak, such as Microsoft, many people know Bill Gates, but they don’t know Paul Allen. However, in iView, Chen Dayou is neither strong nor successful enough, but his popularity is almost the same as Du Qiu, and everyone knows it in Silicon Valley.

"How did he do it?"

"Dylan deliberately goes against you in terms of dress, words, behavior, and style of doing things, creating an illusion of opposing twins. When people discuss you, they will definitely compare him, just like Coca-Cola and Pepsi."

So that's it. No wonder he likes to wear exaggerated clothes, speak sensational speeches, and make amazing moves...

Isn’t this Liu Bei’s trick to deal with Cao Cao in “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”…

After the conversation started this time, the two chatted for a long time, and continued until Jennifer prepared the steak and served it on the table, and stopped discussing the business trends of several popular companies in Silicon Valley recently, and changed to a life topic that was easy to adapt to.

"Jenny, you should be a fan of Friends, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

“This round dining table is the same as Monica’s in the TV.”

"You guessed it right." Jennifer cut a small piece of steak, forked it with a fork, held it in front of Du Qiu, and said, "You are the first man to eat the steak I made with my own hands. Try it."

This was a bit ambiguous and his actions were even more ambiguous, but Du Qiu didn't feel embarrassed or unnatural at all. He leaned over slightly, bit off the steak on the fork, chewed it slowly, and then praised: "It's delicious."

"When I was in high school, my family hired an Argentine chef. I was very good at it. I learned from her." Jennifer's voice was filled with a hint of sadness, but it soon disappeared. He raised his goblet with a smile and said, "Cheers to today's financing."

"Cheers to tomorrow's wealth."

After that, the two started having dinner. At first, they were talking and laughing, and then they all went silent. However, there was a growing strange atmosphere filled the room, which made the restless heart beat faster and hotter, making the boiling blood hotter. Jennifer soon stopped eating, but Du Qiu ate faster and faster.

"Abumn, aren't you excited?"

"How do you know I'm not excited?"

"feng told me that when you are excited, you are like a beast in heat." Jennifer used a magic trick, scooped something from the salad bowl that shouldn't have appeared on the table, and said, "To protect myself, I just bought two boxes of this in the supermarket."

A few seconds later, the sofa was in a mess, a few dozen minutes later, the living room was in a mess, and a few hours later, the whole room was in a mess...

...

Du Qiu's biological clock remained very stable after traveling through time. He woke up automatically at 6 o'clock every morning, but this time he slept until after 9 o'clock. There was no way. He was too excited last night and had a crazy time playing. Even with golden fingers, he couldn't bear it and felt the long-lost back pain.

After washing up, Du Qiu made a simple breakfast with the ingredients left in the refrigerator and brought it to the bedroom. He was about to wake up Jennifer, but she was awake, wrapped in the quilt lazyly, sat up with some difficulty, and complained: "Auto, Feng is wrong. When you are excited, you don't look like a beast, you are a beast."

When Du Qiu heard that she mentioned Jiang Danfeng repeatedly, she felt a bad feeling in her heart and asked, "Why did she say this to you?"

"In your hometown, your dad forbids you from sleeping with Feng, and I can." Jennifer put his hands on a waterfall's blonde hair, and said with a smug smile, "Did you forget? I like attractive people, regardless of gender."

Du Qiu was dumbfounded and subconsciously touched his head. There was a custom of listening to the corners of the newcomers in his hometown. Jiang Danfeng and Du Qiugang were friends, but they were not the Du family's wife. In order not to let people gossip, Du Cunzhi let the two sleep separately. Unexpectedly, Jennifer took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it.

"Don't worry, sex is just a leisure entertainment for me. Just like a movie, I will like the characters in the movie, but I will never fall in love or get married to the characters in the movie." Jennifer said in a surprising way, looking at Du Qiu with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said: "Autumn, you are a fantasy character in a great movie, and I hope you can enjoy it repeatedly in the future."
