My Age of Investment

  Chapter 1044 Public Enemy of the United States and Old Friends of the American People

   "Mr Moritz, do you like tea too?"

  In the private room of a Chinese tea room in Silicon Valley, Xia Jingxing smiled and looked at Moritz, who was sitting on the opposite side of the armchair, with a smile on his face.

  The Silicon Valley VC fund team only went to the desert for a meeting, and Moritz invited him to have tea with him.

  He estimated that it should be this old cunning man who smelled something wrong and wanted to spy on the military situation.

  Moritz took a sip from the teacup on the table, and then made a soothing sound.

  "Dalun, I am interested in everything in China, including you!"

  Xia Jingxing had a chill, and the **** society was rampant, so he couldn't help being careless.

  Moritz laughed loudly, "Of course, I mean your business talent!

The Stanford dropout, who was 18 or 19 years old, has now become a tech giant and a hedge fund predator. Early-stage venture capital and growth stage equity investment is in your hands, and you have also done well, and your career is no longer limited to China and the United States. Two countries, but all over the world! "

Looking at Xia Jingxing, Moritz’s eyes were full of admiration, and then he said with emotion: “I didn’t believe that there are so-called all-rounders in this world before, but seeing Darren you have made extraordinary achievements in every field, I I finally chose to believe it. In the past, my vision was too narrow, which caused many opportunities to be missed."

  Xia Jingxing picked up the tea cup, gently blew the hot tea, and said in a casual tone: "Mr. Moritz, you made an appointment with me today to praise me?"

  Moritz smiled and waved his hand, "More than that, I made a special trip to apologize to you. I hope our two companies can reach a settlement and stop embarrassing each other."

  Xia Jingxing thought about it, "So, you have deliberately tried to compete for the six projects this year? Do you want to increase your negotiating bargaining chip?"

  Moritz smiled slightly, it was a young man after all, he couldn't hold his breath!

   "Yes, not right!"

  Looking at Xia Jingxing’s suspicious eyes, Moritz said in a calm tone: “The failure of Sequoia China has made me and other partners, and even Mr. Valentine, unable to let go.

  Vision Capital has been operating so successfully in the United States. It makes no sense that Sequoia has entered the Chinese market and will not accept it?

  Since this year, we have been reviewing the analysis. What is the reason? Mechanism, team, market, or other reasons, such as vicious competition? "

Xia Jingxing said lightly: "It is China's special human relationship culture that prompted a group of unreliable fund teams to unite and besiege me, which led to the occurrence of vicious competition. There is indeed a problem with Sequoia's mechanism. Mr. Moritz, you should be earlier. Those who intervene may not have the tragedy of today."

  Faced with this speech with a gun and a stick, Moritz's chest became stuffy with anger, and a burst of blood surged.

  However, the old man was still very calm on his face, and he smiled with his palms: "The summary is very comprehensive. It seems that you have analyzed Sequoia China with Dai Lun. They lost in your hands, they are not wronged at all!"

  Xia Jingxing shrugged and looked innocent, "I didn't analyze them, but they often analyzed me, specifically focusing on the investment of competitors of the enterprises invested by Vision Capital!

  Take Hainei.com and Renren.com. The two companies are destined to live only one family. Unfortunately, they bet the wrong player. "

  Thinking of the huge pit of Thousand Oaks, Moritz felt a pain in his liver. It was his recommendation and the endorsement of the Sequoia brand that year. So many well-known American LPs chose to invest in the newly established Sequoia China Fund.

  However, the Chinese team messed up the fund, which made him feel disgraced, and Sequoia’s brand reputation was affected to a certain extent.

  For example, the Stanford University Endowment Fund has terminated all cooperation with Sequoia and invested all the money in the young man in front of him.

   "The Sequoia China incident has happened. It is useless to talk about it! We have to look forward, Darren, what do you think?"

  Xia Jingxing was almost certain in his heart, Moritz should really want to reconcile.

  However, Sequoia has only hit the face of Vision Capital, and he is brewing revenge, how can he agree to a settlement so easily.

   "Mr. Moritz, please give me a reason for reconciliation. Your lighthearted sentence can't calm the anger of our Silicon Valley team."

   Moritz snorted, “The reason is interest. Sequoia and Envision Capital have already experienced some unpleasantness in China. If this enmity is brought to the US market, it will be detrimental to the development of both of us.

  Silicon Valley and the United States are more than our two institutions. Once we fight, we will only make it cheaper for those who look at our jokes. "

   "It doesn't matter, anyway, VC funds are not the main business of Envision Capital. It is good that our hedge funds are responsible for making money, and life is still going on."

  A trace of sorrow flashed across Moritz's face, he was already low enough, and the other party was so aggressive, really like Sequoia is a soft persimmon!

"Dylan, although Sequoia’s asset management scale cannot be compared with the broad prospective capital of its business, we have been based in the U.S. market for 36 years. We have a wealth of resources in the venture capital, corporate, political, and media sectors. LP resources and good reputation."

   Moritz stared at Xia Jingxing, and said decisively: “Once we decide to go to war, we will use all our resources without leaving much power. The worst result is that we will each return to our home market.”

  Xia Jingxing raised his head, suddenly realized, "Oh, this result is really bad!

  But Mr. Moritz, I remember a few years ago, when I was still on Facebook, you said the same thing. "

  This is a bit prickly, and it evokes those bad memories in Moritz's heart.

  In order to invest in Facebook, Moritz used all kinds of coercion and lure to Xia Jingxing.

  However, no effect was achieved. Xia Jingxing still went his own way. At the same time, he quickly brought in Microsoft to help out Moritz's calculations completely.

  This is the sad thing that Moritz doesn't want to mention. Xia Jingxing is now taking it out and ridiculing himself, which makes Moritz no longer able to suppress the anger in his heart.

The old man said coldly: "Dalun, you have to know that you are always a Chinese, you make money in the United States, and you are so high-profile that you have offended business leaders, the media, the Internet, hedge funds, venture capital... There are too many people in all walks of life.

  If this continues, you will definitely not be able to stay in the United States anymore, and everyone will regard you as a public enemy of the United States! "

  A few years ago, Xia Jingxing was not afraid of the old man’s threat, let alone now.

  He smiled and said without a smile: "Mr. Moritz, what you said is too exaggerated and ugly, what American public enemy, I am an old friend of the American people, OK?

  This is not what I call myself, but a large number of entrepreneurs and bankers on the East Coast commented on me like this.

  The local governments of California and New York also awarded me the title of Honorary Citizen for Life. I heard that I will be awarded the title of Honorable Citizen this year. Before that, only Mr. Rong, a businessman in our country, had won the title of Honorable Citizen of California.

  The American people are so warm and friendly, it makes me embarrassed.

  I am not an American, and I still have to give me the title of glorious citizen. I am ashamed of it!

  It seems that for the rest of my life, I can only use investment to promote American economic prosperity, scientific and technological progress, and create more jobs in order to repay the American people’s heart. "

  Moritz felt uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than eating ten dead flies!

  This guy has mastered the wealth code!

  在美国，大喊“我爱美国”的口号屁用没有，见你是黄皮肤，一样挨揍。

   But as long as they can help capitalists make money, they will be guests everywhere, after all, no one can't live with the dollar.

   Haven't seen a bunch of corrupt officials award all kinds of honorary titles to the shameless person in front of you?

  After taking a few deep breaths, Moritz let his breathing calm down. He secretly warned himself that there are too many troubles in this society, and there is no need to breathe.

  "Dalun, tell me, what do you want? Or how can I reach a settlement with you?"

  Xia Jingxing pinched her eyebrows, sighed constantly, pretending to be embarrassed.

  The other party's poor acting skills and the effect of punishing the heart made Moritz want to go away, but he just thought of the various disgusting revenge tricks he might face Xia Jingxing next, he would forcibly hold back it.

 It doesn't matter whether he is a business or an investment, he is all about seeking money. He doesn't believe that Xia Jingxing is no longer interested in money.
