Chapter 641 I really don’t want to help you anymore
Zhen Rongrong carried the lunch box, went up to the dormitory building with a lot of thoughts, and returned to the dormitory quietly.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard a weak voice.
"Rongrong, are you back? Why are you half an hour early today? Did the restaurant close early?"
"No, some classmates from Peking University came to see me today, and they drove me there I’m back.”
Zhen Rongrong agreed with a smile, and skillfully took out the electric stove and small pot, preparing to heat up the nutritious meal she brought back to her roommate.
The student dormitory at UC is in good condition, with double rooms and private bathrooms. No one comes to check the electricity or bed. However, the accommodation fee for a year is as high as 2000+ US dollars, so it is still okay to use the electric stove secretly. Out of the way.
"Did he drive you back?"
Zhen Rongrong's roommate Ruan Shujun popped her head out of bed and asked with twinkling eyes: "Did your classmate stay at the lighthouse to work? What kind of car are you driving? "
Zhen Rongrong paused for a moment with skillful movements, and then replied: "They came from the mainland to inspect, and I don't know the brand of the company's car."
Ruan Shujun thought for a while and then lay back down: "Rongrong, you have been coming to the lighthouse for more than half a year, and you can't even recognize the car logo. This is not good! If you go out to find a job in the future, people will think you are an ignorant country bumpkin."
Zhen Rongrong didn't say anything. She put the warm and nutritious meal in a cup and brought it to Ruan Shujun's bed.
“Be careful when it’s hot and eat slowly.”
“Thank you Rongrong, I’m so overwhelmed these days. I don’t know what to do without you.”
Ruan Shujun After taking the dinner cup, he seemed so moved that he wanted to cry.
Zhen Rongrong sniffed, as if she smelled something, but she still comforted her: "Okay, eat quickly! Only when you are full can you recover faster. You haven't gone to class these days, and you don't know how much you have fallen behind in your homework. "
"Hmm, I have to get better quickly, otherwise I will always have to ask you to work in restaurants for me. I feel really bad."
Ruan Shujun thanked Zhen while eating. Rongrong, while eating, she suddenly asked: "By the way Rongrong, have you helped me find Kadir today?"
Zhen Rongrong was cleaning the dormitory when she heard Ruan Shujun After asking, he shook his head and said: "I have classes this afternoon. It was already past five o'clock when I arrived in San Francisco. I didn't have time to ask about Kadir."
"Huh?"
Ruan Shujun was so disappointed that even the nutritious meal in her hand no longer tasted good. Her eyes were full of tears, as if she had been greatly wronged.
“Didn’t you go find him for me? Whenever he comes to San Francisco, he usually stays in a few hotels over Union Square, either the St. Francis or the Hilton. It doesn’t take long for you to go to the front desk and ask. "Yeah!"
Zhen Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then silently put the cleaned garbage into the garbage bag, only to find several packaging of Valrhona chocolates in the garbage bag.
At this time Zhen Rongrong remembered that when she brought the nutritious meal to Ruan Shujun just now, Ruan Shujun had the taste of chocolate in her mouth.
Although Valrhona chocolate is not a luxury product, it is not cheap for poor students like Zhen Rongrong.
Zhen Rongrong felt bad and blurted out: "Shujun, have you eaten chocolate?"
Ruan Shujun, who was eating a nutritious meal, was stunned and hesitated: "Oh, my friend came to see me just now. I was given two Valrhona pills. Just two pills."
"Chocolate restores energy quickly, which is good."
Zhen Rongrong silently put away the garbage and returned to herself. Beside the bed, I took out my book and prepared to read for a while.
In fact, she always remembered what Li Ye said to her - "The country sends you to study abroad, not to let you work, but to learn knowledge and come back to serve the country."
< br>
A few minutes later, Ruan Shujun took the dinner cup and called to Zhen Rongrong: "Rongrong, I've finished eating."
Zhen Rongrong took a breath, got up, took the dinner cup, and prepared to wash it.
But Ruan Shujun pitifully stopped her and said: "Rongrong, you must help me ask about Kadir tomorrow. I haven't been able to contact him for so long, and my heart is broken." It’s going to break.”
Zhen Rongrong's heart suddenly tumbled, and she finally couldn't help but said: "Ruan Shujun, can you be more realistic, that Kadir will not come back."
"."
< br>
Ruan Shujun was stunned, and after a while she said aggrievedly: "How could he not come back? He swore to love me all his life!"
Zhen Rongrong gritted her teeth and said cruelly: "Shujun, He didn't show up when you were undergoing drainage in the hospital. How could such a person love you forever? You were deceived by him." br>
“.”
“You are talking nonsense, you are lying!!!”
Ruan Shujun shouted angrily: “Kadir just didn’t know that I went to the hospital, he If you knew what I was like now, you would definitely come and pick me up. You just don’t want to help me.”
"I really don't want to help you anymore."
Zhen Rongrong's chest rose and fell rapidly, but her tone was very calm: "I also have my own things to be busy with, and I have no time or obligation to help you find it. What khadi Well, you should settle your own affairs yourself!"
"."
Ruan Shujun was stunned. She looked at Zhen Rongrong stupidly, not knowing why she suddenly looked like It's like a changed person.
“Woooooooooo, Rongrong, I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean to blame you, I just have no choice, I can’t lose my job in the restaurant,
I want to save money to pay for my tuition. You can help me for a few more days, and I will go to work when I have the strength. I will not forget your kindness." "."
Ruan Shujun She started to cry.
Her situation is different from Zhen Rongrong. Zhen Rongrong is a government-sponsored international student, but she applied to study abroad at her own expense
Although she can apply to study abroad on her own now. Those who study abroad are not ordinary people in the mainland, but the income level in the mainland is completely different from that of Lighthouse. Even the children of factory directors have to work to pay for tuition
UC is a public school, but the registration fee in 1986 was a few hundred dollars, and the annual tuition was about 2,000, plus the dormitory fee was 2,000+. It was impossible to survive without $6,000 a year.
"Okay, okay, I will take your place for a few more days, and you should recover as soon as possible!"
"Thank you Rongrong, thank you, you are my best friend"< br>
Zhen Rongrong chatted with Ruan Shujun for a while, and she felt a little confused, so she had no intention of reading and lay down to rest early.
But when she covered herself with the quilt, a thought came to her mind - "I'm going to buy some Valrhona chocolates tomorrow. I haven't tasted them since I've been at the lighthouse for so long!"< br>
. . . . . . . .
The next morning, after Li Ye got up and had breakfast, he received a call from Jeff.
He and Li Ye arrived in San Francisco quickly and had contacted several helpers, preparing to set up a venture capital company as soon as possible.
Although Li Ye is aware of the general trend of the world, he still humbly accepts Jeff's suggestions for the construction of venture capital companies. After all, venture capital companies have a special set of business methods, and they cannot be built with manpower. Get up.
When it comes to the most popular industries, Beacon is the leader on the planet.
For example, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers is a well-known venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. It has invested in a large number of particularly successful companies such as Intel, Amazon, and Apple. Some even say it is the world's number one venture capital firm.
But how many people does it have? There are more than twenty people in total, including nine partners, four or five assistants, plus a few secretaries and working dogs, that's all.
"Mr. Li, this is my schoolmate Gary. He has been working in Silicon Valley in the past few years and is familiar with the trends and developments in the industry. I plan to ask him to be my assistant."
After Jeff arrived, he first introduced a junior to Li Ye. After all, he had left Silicon Valley for many years, and some details needed to be controlled more accurately.
“Hello, Mr. Gary.”
"Hello, Mr. Li."
Li Ye shook hands with Gary, and the other person looked at Li Ye with obvious surprise.
Not only because of Li Ye's age, but also because of the other person's skin color.
Li Ye noticed Gary's gaze and asked lightly: "Mr. Gary, do you have any questions?"
"Yes sir," Gary said very He said straightforwardly: "I just heard from Jeff that the company's source of funds is from Hong Kong Island, so can I know if the specific investors of our company are also from Hong Kong Island?"
"Not exactly."
From the beginning, Li Ye had no intention of fully disclosing his trump cards. His original intention was to be confusing.
So he smiled slightly and said: " Our investment sources are not limited to Hong Kong Island, but also come from Britain, France, and Germany. However, Mr. Gary asked because he felt that the identity of the shareholders would affect Do you have your investment opinion?”
“No, no, no, I’m just curious,” Gary shook his head with a smile: “Lighthouse is a free country, and the investment market also adheres to the principle of absolute freedom. As long as Anyone who can bear the risk of failure can take a chance on their dreams.”
“Risk of failure?”
Li Ye looked at Gary and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Gary, did the last company you worked for fail?"
"."
Gary looked awkwardly. He looked at Li Ye and nodded helplessly: "Yes, in Silicon Valley, failure is also a kind of qualification and experience."
"."
Li Ye laughed.
This Gary is interesting.
There are many startup companies in Silicon Valley, and the investment risks of venture capital are also very high.
We usually only hear about various successful examples, and that is because the failed companies have disappeared and been forgotten by people.
In fact, in Silicon Valley, more than 90% of venture capital investments are unsuccessful.
But as long as it is a successful investment, the rate of return is hundreds or thousands of times the investment cost. It is precisely because of the high risk and high return that world-class venture capital companies flock to it, looking like crocodiles. Suitable food.
Li Ye had heard in his previous life that there was a place called 3000 Sand Hill Road on the side of Highway 280 near Stanford University. There were several small buildings that housed half of the venture capital companies in Lighthouse.
Today, Li Ye plans to add a well-known venture capital of his own.
