When he was a child, Li Rui liked a comic book called "The Monkey King of Time and Space". He often saw a place called "San Francisco" on it. At that time, he was not very old and had no news. He thought that San Francisco was

It is a city of Huaguo.

It was not until later that Li Rui gradually grew up that he realized that San Francisco was originally another translation of San Francisco.

San Francisco, the port city of California, Magnesium, is not only a world-famous tourist destination, but also an important financial city on the west coast of Magnesium and the most important technology research and development base in the world. Silicon Valley, the holy land of Internet people all over the world, is located in San Francisco.

Bay Area.

Li Rui chose San Francisco, the first stop to visit Magnesium Country, and he wanted to visit Silicon Valley.

Compared to the wealth hidden in Silicon Valley, a small matter like acquiring the Rockets can only be put back.

At the airport, hugging the old classmate in his arms, Li Rui felt weak and boneless, and he whispered: "Are you losing weight?"

Yu Na said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you are becoming more and more able to speak."

Li Rui looked at her up and down: "You are indeed losing weight. Are you too tired from work?"

Yu Na changed the topic and said, "Come on, let me introduce it to you. This is my roommate and the deputy director of the Magnesium State Office. Zhu Xiaoya classmate. Zhu Xiaoya, haven't you always wanted to see the boss? Now the boss is here!

”

The beauty holding the sign is Zhu Xiaoya. She is different from Yu Na’s temperament route. Her figure is very popular, but she is not inferior to European and American women at all. Today, she wears tight white T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-

"Hello, boss." Zhu Xiaoya said openly.

"Hello." Li Rui shook hands with her, "Thank you for more than a year. Thanks to your help, Yu Na has managed the Magnesium Country Office in an orderly manner."

Zhu Xiaoya was about to say something else, but there was a commotion around her.

Li Rui looked back and found that it was Hao Ming who came out.

Hao Ming's figure is too conspicuous, and Li Rui underestimated his influence in the country of magnesium.

While still on the plane, crew members and other passengers looked for various excuses to see Hao Ming, and some people asked him to sign and take a photo with him.

When the first person's request was met, the others came over to ask for autographs and took photos. It took a long time to stop.

Now Hao Ming appears at the San Francisco Airport, which immediately sparked the attention of passengers. Many people come to take photos and ask for autographs, and shout slogans such as "Houston", "Rockets" and "Hao, you're fine".

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Rui quickly said, "Flash!"

The group carried large and small bags and broke through the encirclement of passengers. It was not until they got on the SUV that Yu Na prepared that they felt relieved.

Li Rui smiled and said to Hao Ming: "You have retired and your popularity in Magnesium Country is still so high."

Hao Ming smiled bitterly and said, "The main reason is that my figure is too conspicuous, and it is difficult to not pay attention to me."

It was time for everyone to get to know each other after getting on the bus.

Yu Na exclaimed: "I have watched NBA games before, and I feel that you are not that tall on TV! I didn't expect... Oh my God, you are really a giant!"

Li Rui said: "You don't think people who look very short on TV are really short, do you know that Iverson is actually 183 cm taller than me?"

After chatting for a while, the car started and headed straight for Silicon Valley, where Xingrui Capital's Magnesium Office was located.

Li Rui and Yu Na sat in the last row, talking about all the past six months, and they were all feeling a little emotional.

Yu Na said: "Your business is getting bigger and bigger. Nowadays, the most popular applications in Silicon Valley have your capital shadow behind it. Some old Silicon Valley venture capitalists have noticed you and have visited the office.

, I hope there is an opportunity to cooperate.”

Li Rui shook his head and said, "I'd better not show up."

"Why?" Yu Na asked.

Li Rui couldn't explain to her the changes in the international situation in the next decade. Perhaps his rebirth would bring a butterfly effect to change all this, but he could not take risks.

"Xingrui's domestic and international capital must be well cut. In this regard, if you want to find a pure European and American person to stand in front of the stage, I just need to be behind the scenes." Li Rui said.

In fact, Yu Na is the most suitable candidate, but she is also a Huaren. As long as she is a Huaren, she is destined to be targeted by the Magnesium Kingdom, but it is still not safe enough.

So Yu Na can only be a deputy, and she will be pushed to the front stage to accept the spotlight. There must be someone else.

Yu Na didn't understand, but didn't ask much, because she unconditionally believed in all Li Rui's judgments.

She changed the topic and said, "You are the first time to come to Magnesium Country. I'll take you to have a good time. There are many fun places in San Francisco."

"I only know one Golden Gate Bridge, and then the Golden State Warriors, and I don't know anything else." Li Rui said.

Yu Na said: "If you like art and antiques, San Francisco has the world's top art museums and museums, such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which has many works by famous artists. There is also an Asian Art Museum, which I guess you will also like.

”

"There won't be anything stolen from Huaguo, then I won't go there, so as not to get upset." Li Rui said.

The city of San Francisco is much smaller than Li Rui imagined. In his fantasy, aren’t the cities in Magnesium Country full of tall buildings?

But when I saw a real big city in Magnesium, I saw that the prosperity was far worse than that in Haizhou and Yanzhou. After asking, I found out that San Francisco was only 121 square kilometers, which is one of the top 20 densely populated cities in Magnesium.

The smallest area.

There are also tall buildings here, but they are limited to that area, while other places have various characteristics.

When the car passed by every place, Yu Na introduced it to Li Rui.

Laurel Heights, where there are many Victorian classical buildings, it looks like it has entered the scene of the Eagle Drama.

There is also a place called Precidio Heights, where there are all large mansions, and many rich people and celebrities from the Magnesium Country live there.

When passing by the Kingsoft Bridge, Li Rui saw the Oracle Arena, the home court of the Golden State Warriors. It is the Soma District, with many high-rise buildings and it is said that there are also a large number of startups.

After driving for about an hour, I entered Paloalto, and officially entered the Silicon Valley area, where Stanford University is also located.

There was still a long way away, Yu Na excitedly pointed to the building in front and said, "That's Stanford, my school!"

"If you have the chance, take me in and take a walk." Li Rui said.

Yu Na smiled and said, "Okay! There is a hot dog in the school that is very delicious, I'll treat you!"

After passing Stanford University, it is sandhillroad. Just as Wall Street is synonymous with the financial industry, the words sandhillroad represent venture capital in the country of magnesium!

This road is only two or three kilometers long, with more than a dozen large venture capital companies gathered. Among the technology companies listed on Nasdaq, at least half are invested by venture capital companies on this street.

Among these companies, the most famous ones include Sequoia Capital, kpcb (kleiner, perkins, caufieldbyers), nea (newenterpriseassociates), mayfield, etc.

Especially Sequoia, it is the largest and most successful venture capital company to date. The projects he invests in include Apple, Google, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, Netscape and YouTube...
