From the outside, Sand Dune Road does not look like a place where billions of wealth are gathered. Drive along Sand Dune Road, the office buildings next to the street are uneven in height, some are hanging signs, and some are simply inconspicuous.

Gray Tuk Buildings, but no one knows that the companies in those buildings have invested in unicorn companies with a market value of billions.

In fact, this is true in the entire Palaatu. There are almost no high-rise buildings in this town. Most of the buildings are two-story. On the contrary, towering trees are everywhere, and green plants are growing freely.

This attitude of allowing green plants to grow is the same as the local attitude towards venture capital companies and technology companies. They rarely even tax technology companies, and their main fiscal revenue comes from consumption tax.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this free attitude that the existence of Silicon Valley was born.

The car came to a hillside and turned up. There was a very beautiful three-story building on the top of the hillside. It was No. 3000, Shadune Road, and it is also the most famous place in the entire street and even the entire Silicon Valley.

Standing at the door of No. 3000, you can overlook the beautiful seaside view in the distance, surrounded by a circle of flowers and trees, which are neatly and pleasing to the eye.

There is a row of luxury cars parked in the parking lot in front of the door. Some of them are known to Li Rui, while others are classic models that they have never seen before. It is said that the price of this classic car is more expensive than a sports car, and it is a lot of nostalgic magnesium.

The favorite of Chinese people.

This building is filled with the most well-known venture capitalists in the world. One decision of theirs can influence the fate of the global Internet, and Xingrui Capital's Magnesium Office is also among them.

When the group walked into the small building, a gray-haired old man happened to come out. He first greeted Yu Na, and then involuntarily noticed Hao Ming following behind, and showed a surprised expression and said: "You are

Hao? I am your fan! Wow, Na, why are you with Hao Ming? Are you going to invest in the basketball business?” (The old rules, I won’t explain the translation process in detail, otherwise it will be too troublesome to write)

Hao Ming showed a kind smile. He was used to this kind of thing. No matter where he was, he would meet enthusiastic fans and would also have to deal with various continuous autograph and photo requirements at any time.

Yu Na said: "Hello Mr. Addison, Hao Ming is one of our company's clients. I'll visit the company this time."

Addison said happily: "Can I take a photo with Hao Ming?"

Hao Ming immediately said: "Of course."

After taking a photo, Addison said again: "Na, if you have any money-making projects, don't forget to call me!"

"Sure!" Yu Na said with a smile.

Waving goodbye to Addison, Yu Na accompanied everyone to continue walking in and explained: "Adison used to work in Oracle and Autodesk, and had a wide network of contacts, he came out to start a technology entrepreneurial party blog biztech, which is dedicated to investing.

Startups and small tech companies, especially like investing in technologies and ideas that look cool.”

"Isn't that similar to me?" Li Rui said.

Yu Na glanced at him and said, "The things you invested in are very hot, but not cool enough."

The office is located at the end of the second floor. There are about a dozen similar offices on the second floor, and there are only one or two people in each office. However, according to Yu Na, the money invested by each office here is

All are calculated in ten digits!

The Magnesium Office has a small area, less than forty square meters, but the rent is very expensive.

The office hired seven or eight employees, including local foreigners and Huaren's faces. He didn't respond much when he saw Li Rui coming in. Instead, he was a little excited after seeing Hao Ming.

Yu Na did not reveal Li Rui's identity. After leading everyone around, she took them directly to the coffee area on the second floor. This is a common area for all venture capital companies. When you need to entertain entrepreneurs, you will be here.

I had two cups of coffee and chatted for several hours.

More often, investors will take entrepreneurs to the cafe next to the gate of Stanford University, which is the paradise for entrepreneurship. There are ambitious guys sitting in every seat of each cafe, and half of them want to

To invest money in the coolest ideas, half of them want to find the most money for their ideas.

There happened to be no one in the coffee area. After the group sat down, Yu Na and Zhu Xiaoya were busy making coffee.

Li Rui looked around and said with emotion: "I think the daily life of venture capital companies is a suit and tie, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, swimming pool villa, and beautiful and handsome guys. Even if the office is not a luxurious room, at least a few beautiful secretaries must be accompanied by them.

Didn't expect the environment to be so simple?"

Yu Na smiled and said, "You have watched too many magnesium dramas, just like our TV series in Huaguo. No matter how low the income is, the male and female protagonists live in a bad environment, but is it actually possible? The magnesium country is also

Likewise, when the investors were all glamorous in the magnesium drama, they wrote checks of hundreds of millions of yuan with a wave of their pen, but in fact they were very stingy."

Zhu Xiaoya also said: "Although our office is not big, the rent is not cheap. Even Sequoia is reluctant to rent a floor by itself. Why don't you share the third floor with KPCB?"

When Li Rui heard that Sequoia's awesome company was only half a floor, he felt relieved.

While drinking coffee, Yu Na briefly introduced Li Rui to the recent situation of the office.

Currently, the Magnesium State Office is mainly responsible for several aspects of work.

First, keep in touch with companies invested by Li Rui such as whatsapp, ins, snapchat, pinterest, Smith Mining, Blockbuster, etc., pay attention to the development of each company at any time, and safeguard shareholder rights.

Second, complete the various acquisition tasks assigned by the boss at any time. No matter who has a boss like Li Rui who may have new ideas at any time, he or she does not regard money as money when purchasing, he or she must have the awareness of sacrifice.

The third task is more ordinary. Like other venture capital companies, you can contact entrepreneurs everywhere, pay attention to technological trends and value trends, and collect all kinds of useful information to feed back to Li Rui.

A job that seems very general actually requires a lot of energy. Yu Na also has to take care of her studies. At the beginning, she was so busy that she almost failed several exams.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiaoya joined in quickly and hired some professionals to help her, sharing some pressure for her.

Now all the affairs of the office are on track, with specialized cooperative law firms, accounting firms, financial and tax companies and various professional cooperative institutions, and have also established close contact with many venture capital companies on this street.

Only after contact with Yu Na was much more relaxed.

After listening to Yu Na's report, Li Rui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Xiaoya muttered softly: "That's just one sentence..."

Everyone else pretended not to hear it.

Li Rui coughed lightly and said, "Why... how to arrange the next schedule?"
Chapter completed!
