348. Trip to Silicon Valley 2

After a long flight, Luzhou and his group finally arrived at San Jose Airport at 7 pm local time.

When we arrived at the pick-up office, we saw a man holding a sign with the two Chinese characters "Dream Valley" written on it.

Bao Bufan said a little tiredly, "Let's go, Mr. Lu. That should be the reception staff of Sequoia."

Lu Zhou nodded slightly and followed them to the exit.

"Good evening, gentlemen. I'm Parker from Sequoia."

Parker shook hands and greeted everyone one by one, and then he led the way, "The car is in the parking lot, go here."

The car was a multi-seater business car. After everyone got on the car, Parker started the vehicle.

Parker said, "We will take about 30 minutes to arrive at the hotel you are staying at. If you have any needs on the way, you can tell me at any time. You can have a day off tomorrow. We will arrange for the relevant negotiations to start the morning after tomorrow."

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Pak, I think we can talk about it in advance tomorrow."

Parker glanced at Lu Zhou through the rearview mirror. He had already obtained some simple information before coming, and when he just said hello, he confirmed that this young man was the initiator of the entire acquisition, Lu Zhou.

It was an anxious person, Parker thought.

Parker smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you can rest assured about our Sequoia attitude. To be honest, we highly agree with the acquisition of whatsapp by WeChat. This is a win-win plan and we have no reason to refuse."

He turned a corner with the steering wheel, "I suggest you take a good rest for a day. Of course, if you have any plans, you need to communicate with us in advance, so you can come to Sequoia to talk directly. The Rosewood Hotel you are staying in, and you will be able to cross the street to Sequoia."

Lu Zhou thought about it and did not ask any further. Bao Bufan also said to him, "Mr. Lu, our team members will first agree on some issues with Sequoia tomorrow. Although we have had preliminary contact with Sequoia in advance, some things do need to be confirmed in person. Just leave this to us."

Lu Zhou also smiled after hearing this. The money spent on Huaxing and Bao Bufan has always been quite cost-effective. He smiled and said, "Okay. Then I'll wait for good news."

Lin Xinhe, "We are left to have a leisurely tomorrow, so we can visit everywhere. Stanford and Mountain View, we can all go there."

Luzhou, "Okay, let's have a walk tomorrow."

What if you run into a big boss or potential stock everywhere, the probability of being left in Silicon Valley is not low. Lu Zhou thought.

Before, Parker, who was driving, might feel that the car was talking Chinese all over, and he said, "Gentlemen, I'll introduce you to you. We are now in Santa Clara, and the world-famous Intel is located here. Of course, Nvidia is here too. If you are interested in learning about the history of Silicon Valley, you must go to the Intel Museum here. Silicon Valley, although it was famous for the Internet after 2000, before that, it has always been closely related to chip technology companies."

Parker continued, "Drive a little further, we will pass Sunnyvale later. If you want to amd, you will be in that city. Then there is the mountain view where Brother Gu is located..."

......

Half an hour later, under Parker's intermittent introduction, the vehicle got off the expressway and arrived at West Monroe Park.

Parker drove the car slowly onto the Sand Hill Road, and a few minutes later, the car arrived at the booked Rosewood Hotel.

"Gentlemen, we're here." Parker turned around and reminded the person behind the car.

Lu Zhou took his backpack and got out of the car. The hotel was just a low two-story building.

After everyone got out of the car, Parker pointed to a small second floor opposite the road, "We Sequoia are working in that building. When you walk to the back of the building, you can see the Sequoia sign. If you need to communicate in advance tomorrow, you can walk over directly. Of course, remember to contact me in advance."

Lin Xinhe pointed to the building on the left of Sequoia again, and he said to Lu Zhou, "That building is the location of DFJ Defengjie."

After seeing this, Lu Zhou nodded slightly, "Oh. The one that invested in Qiandu in the early stage."

Lin Xinhe smiled, "That's more than a thousand-degree shot. The building on the right is KPCB Kaipeng. Don't look at the small area, there are all big guys all the way."

kpcb, isn't it just a financial backer who made a big profit on Amazon, Lu Zhou thought.

Lu Zhou said, "It seems that Brother Lin has come a lot, but the place is familiar."

Lin Xinhe smiled and said, "I have been here a few times, but I can't be familiar with it. The circle is so big, and I did need to come here in my early years."

"Let's go, check in first. Lao Bao followed Parker in."

Lu Zhou nodded and followed in. Not to mention the amount, he had a meal and adjusted the time difference, and today he was just like that.

......

The next morning, Lu Zhou was woken up by the energetic Lin Xinhe.

It seems that Lin Xin and Lin are much better at adjusting the details of the time difference than him?! Lu Zhou seemed a little sluggish, or shouldn't have seen some messy things last night in the middle of the night? Lu Zhou yawned and thought.

Lu Zhou followed Lin Xin and to the hotel restaurant, "Where is Mr. Bao and the others?"

Lin Xinhe, "I have already had a meeting in the hotel conference room. I guess they will go to Sequoia in a while."

Luzhou, “What about us?”

Lin Xinhe thought for a while, "Look around and find a cafe to sit."

Lu Zhou knew it for a while, oh, maybe I could get a flaw in a coffee shop in Silicon Valley? To be honest, I came to the coffee shop in China to talk about entrepreneurship and investment, the source of the trend of starting a business and investing was still in Silicon Valley.

The two of them took a seat at the restaurant, but they heard two middle-aged men sitting next to them chatting.

"'Immortal Sports'? Hahaha, you're afraid you're not going to laugh to death. These programmers are floating around and think that Cyborg can really make humans live forever. Old guy, be careful to let these young children in Silicon Valley cheat them."

"No, Tony. You don't know this company, they plan very long-term, and it's a very visionary company. I think it's really worth investing some money to try."

The man named Tony laughed again, "Haha! Vision?"

"Is it because research becomes a robot? People don't have to die or get sick. Big brother can stop promoting comprehensive medical insurance? Education is easy to do after it is done. It's also a data personality. Don't worry about domestic gun bills, right? The government doesn't have to worry about unemployment. Anyway, people can't starve to death as long as they charge. I've read too many novels, man."

Another sighed slightly, "Old guy, has you lost your sense of smell after leaving Silicon Valley for too long? You should be very clear that such things will inevitably be pursued by the rich, and will pursue them crazy. And with the future commercialization, it will inevitably lead to profits. What you are talking about is just a topic that politicians need to worry about, we just need to make money."

Tony shrugged slightly, "It's great. Everyone is afraid of death. If you have money, you are even more afraid of death. The more you are afraid of death, the more you have to spend money to study and extend your life. You can make money that cheats the general public. If you can't do it, you can make money that rich people can invest. That's it."

Another person, "Then you're too straightforward..."

The two of them spoke very loudly, and it was difficult for Lu Zhou and Lin Xinhe to not hear it.

Lu Zhou listened halfway and turned around and said to Lin Xinhe who was also listening, "It's interesting."

Lin Xinhe ate the bread, "Biology science or Cyborg is not an old thing anymore. In recent years, some startups have begun to study this field."
