The purchase of a house quickly settled down. After looking at a few places under the leadership of Kevin’s butler, Tan Zhenhua finally decided to buy one and two buildings in San Jose, which is 65 kilometers from downtown San Francisco in the south of the Bay Area. A 5-story building and a large piece of unused land were used to create this laboratory named "Matrix" by him. The reason why he chose this place was that it was actually the "Heart of Silicon Valley". In addition to a large number of well-known IT industry leading companies such as Apple, Intel, HP, etc., which have grown up, it is also because Vivian said "I like this place."
Now that the relationship with Vivian was confirmed at the wedding of senior brother Li Yanan, and she was also honest with her elders, Lu Hesheng and his wife, then some things can slowly be disclosed to Vivian.
And when he hinted at Vivienne's huge assets in a very subtle tone, Vivienne behaved like other young girls-just a moment of stunned and quickly accepted this fact with joy.
Then of course a request was made.
Tan Zhenhua must give her a gift to express his apology for deliberately concealing the truth.
However, Vivian's request for this gift is rather weird. She didn't want Tan Zhenhua to go with her to a luxury store in a luxury shopping mall to perform the kind of new styles that walked into the store and pointed to the shelves. The bag arrogantly said: "This, this and this, don't have this, and the rest are packaged". She actually asked Tan Zhenhua to invest in a VC and run it!
The "VC" that Vivienne wants to engage in is not vitamin C, but the abbreviation of "venture capital", or "venture capital" in Chinese. This is China in the 21st century. Almost everyone The words that can talk about a few words are also the fashionable projects in the ascendant of the US financial circle at this time.
In the 1950s, the U.S. government established a "Small Business Management Committee", or "SBA" for short, and used this to support some small innovative enterprises. This marked the government's recognition of innovation and communication investment, and it was also a modern venture capital. A recognized starting point.
Since the 1970s, with the rapid development of the IT industry, a large number of private and institutional capital has seen the huge benefits contained therein and began to flood into this industry. Because of Stanford University’s leading position in this industry, Emerging VC companies generally choose to build their own bridgeheads around Silicon Valley, and when you see the two VC companies established in 1972, "Sequoia Capital" and "KPCB", have invested in a series of successes such as Apple and Hewlett-Packard. The eyes of these VCs are red when they get 50 times or even 100 times return in the case of
They quickly established their own position-starting from the west side of Stanford University to the entrance of the highway to San Jose, a three-kilometer-long road named "Sand Mountain Road" was occupied by them on both sides, and the road was widened along the way. The mighty battle has gathered hundreds of large and small VC companies, bringing together hundreds of billions of dollars, just to find the next company with explosive growth potential like "Apple".
Since then, this humble little "Sand Mountain Road" has another resounding name-"VC Street", and some people call it "West Coast Wall Street".
As a student of Stanford Business School who is about to enter the third year of finance, Vivian has of course paid attention to this hot spot and secretly imagined her own field.
She even arranged the main roles in this VC company enthusiastically-Tan Zhenhua, Li Yanan and Li Zhekai acted as the main investors, she acted as the CEO, and her closest girlfriend and friend Katie acted as the chief technical judge. My uncle Lu Yongming serves as the chief financial officer, and his father Lu Yongjian serves as a financial adviser—not to mention, this arrangement is absolutely compelling!
But there is a problem. The grass-roots team that forms this VC company does not even have a full-time regular employee!
Tan Zhenhua vomited in his heart while pinching his nose and took out 6 million U.S. dollars. Li Zhekai also invested 1 million based on the principle of "Tan Zhenhua’s project must be followed", plus Li Yanan’s investment of 2.6 million, Vivian With an investment of 300,000, Kaidi also pooled 100,000 members to make a whole, and registered and established a VC company called "Hyperbola". Vivian took office happily, and her first major decision was - Hyperbolic VC will freely requisition part of Tan Zhenhua's "Matrix" laboratory as its office location!
Vivienne took out the 300,000 US dollars. Tan Zhenhua guessed it was the result of the old Lu family’s efforts. He also guessed that this was the result of the family meeting held by the old Lu family. He already knew from Vivienne. The elders of the old Lu family are engaged in the fields, and since Vivian’s father Lu Yongjian was originally a person in the financial field, it is not difficult to inquire about the great achievements of his second son Tan. There are so many successful people. In the case of Zhuyu, investing some money in the future son-in-law is not only assured, but also cost-effective.
Ten thousand steps back and said, even if this investment is lost, he Tan Er dare to really make the old Lu family lose money?
As for Kaidi’s money, according to Li Yanan, it was the private money given by her family at the bottom of the box—does the U.S. nationals also have this custom?
Tan Zhenhua felt that after seeing the luxurious wedding of their daughter, the Gass family gradually recognized the son-in-law's expression.
Vivian made a decision. Even if this matter is decided, Tan Zhenhua intends to use two existing buildings first, one is reserved for the future "Matrix" laboratory, and the other is the "Cisco" and " The three affiliated companies he invested in, MIPS and SGI, have all moved here. Fortunately, the scale of the three companies is not large now, and one building is just squeezed.
Of course, plans to build three company headquarters on the current idle land also need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
As a result, Vivian immediately started her second big business with great enthusiasm—renovating and decorating the original two office buildings; design and construction of the three company headquarters buildings after planning and bidding!
She was obviously too busy with such a big event. So, Kaidi, who was 6 months pregnant, also joined in with a big belly. Uncle Kevin, the housekeeper, was also requisitioned. Even the senior brother Li Yanan had to spend some time. Come and help in his free time-he is really worried about his wife holding a big watermelon in her arms and wandering around.
As for Tan Zhenhua?
Of course he has more important things to be busy.
Ms. Rowling sent an exciting news-the first candidate wanted to talk to him in person.
