My Age of Investment

   Chapter 270

  After finishing his trip to Europe, Zhang Chenguang, who has settled down at home, finally came to the United States.

  He stood at the passenger exit of San Francisco Airport and looked around.

  Suddenly saw a familiar figure beckoning to him, hurriedly dragged the suitcase, smiled and walked up.

   "Brother Xia, oh no, President Xia, why did you come to pick me up in person? How embarrassing!"

  Zhang Chenguang really did not expect Xia Jingxing would come to pick him up in person, a little flattered.

  His work visa is always processed by the staff of Facebook and is responsible for connecting with him.

  He had previously checked Facebook on the Internet and found out the true strength of this company.

  Xia Jingxing did not exaggerate, and even humbled himself. Not only is it valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, he reads online media reports that the valuation of Facebook has reached two billion or three billion US dollars.

  The valuation of a company with more than 100 employees is so exaggerated?

  For this, he also specially studied the Internet company's model, valuation, and number of employees.

  After researching, he no longer has any doubts. This kind of high-tech company is characterized by fewer people and fewer fixed assets, but its valuation and market value are particularly high.

  Although Facebook has not yet been listed, it received a round of more than 50 million US dollars in Series A financing at the beginning of the year.

  In his view, this is also a very powerful performance.

  So, he was completely relieved of the work of the security consultant, and he cooperated with the staff of Facebook to get the visa and came to the United States quickly.

  Xia Jingxing, a big boss, actually left his job today and came to the airport to meet him personally, which still made him a little touched.

  Looking at Zhang Chenguang's true feelings, Xia Jingxing smiled, "Brother Chenguang, you're going to see you. We are friends. I'm here to pick you up. Isn't it normal?

  Although you are about to join Facebook, we are also colleagues.

  Internet companies are all flat management models, and there is no clear division between superiors and superiors.

  Don’t have any pressure, come here, just like coming home. "

  Xia Jingxing's remarks made Zhang Chenguang not knowing how to pick it up.

  When he wants to come, the bodyguard is always behind the boss, helping the boss to drive, and being called by the boss.

  Internet companies are flat, and don’t know if it’s true or not?

   didn't ask too much, he nodded repeatedly and said okay, planning to wait until after work to verify one by one.

  The two came to the parking lot talking and laughing. Xia Jingxing opened the trunk of the second-hand BMW 5 Series and prepared to help Zhang Chenguang put the suitcase.

  How dare Zhang Chenguang ask the boss to help put the luggage, but he refused directly.

  Although Xia Jingxing has no shelf at all, Zhang Chenguang still knows it clearly.

  Xia Jingxing asked him to be a bodyguard again, and came to meet him at the airport in person, mostly because of his friendship that helped him that day.

  He is not stupid. What is affection and duty is clear in his heart.

  Zhang Chenguang put his luggage, looked at the BMW car whose paint was a little bit old before getting into the car, and was a little surprised.

  This scene happened to be seen by Xia Jingxing through the rearview mirror.

  Waiting for Zhang Chenguang to get in the car, he started the car and asked with a smile: "Does it feel that I am driving this car a bit unreasonable?"

  Zhang Chenguang waved his hands again and again, "No, BMW is very good."

  That being said, Zhang Chenguang is a person who has been abroad, has seen the world, and knows ultra-luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

  When he wanted to come, Xia Jingxing, a billionaire, driving a BMW 5 Series, is indeed too low-key.

  Xia Jingxing drove, and smiled and said: "Actually, I am not a rich person. If the company is rich, it does not mean that I have money. We are still in the entrepreneurial stage. We don't say that we just spend money to buy luxury cars..."

  After listening to Xia Jingxing’s introduction, Zhang Chenguang has a better understanding of the Internet.

  The original financing of more than 50 million US dollars belonged to the company, and Xia Jingxing, as the company's major shareholder and chairman, could not control the money at will.

  However, he did not think that Xia Jingxing's worth is very watery, because Xia Jingxing also said that after a few years, when the company goes public, the stocks can be freely traded, and he will really become a rich man.

  Xia Jingxing drove to Chinatown, parked the car in front of the Hongyun restaurant, and took Zhang Chenguang into the restaurant.

  After sitting down in the private room, Xia Jingxing introduced: “The Chinese food in this restaurant is very authentic. When you first arrived in the United States today, you should be taken to the dust.”

  Zhang Chenguang smiled and said, "Brother Xia, thank you so much, I don’t know what to say."

  After the two ordered the food, they chatted casually.

  At this time, Qiu Zhiyi, wearing a chef's uniform, knocked on the door and walked in.

   "Brother Xia, take care of our business again today?"

  Qiu Zhiyi's white chef uniform was covered with stains, and his forehead was sweaty.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the other party like this, he should know that he was here, and rushed over from the kitchen deliberately.

  Every time he dines here, only Qiu Zhiyi is free, he will come over to chat for a few days and drink two glasses of wine.

"Yup!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded to the other party, greeted him to sit down.

  "This is Qiu Zhiyi, Qiu Ge, the chef of Fortune Restaurant, my friend..."

  "This is Zhang Chenguang, who has just retired from the French Foreign Corps and is now a security consultant for Facebook..."

  Xia Jing acted as the two introduced each other, and then the two quickly got to know each other.

  Qiu Zhiyi showed admiration when he heard that Zhang Chenguang singled out seven or eight blacks in Milan and relieved Xia Jingxing's encirclement.

  At this time, the dishes were slowly on the table. Qiu Zhiyi filled a glass of wine and got up to offer Zhang Chenguang a glass.

   "Brother Chenguang is rushing to you, and I must toast you a cup.

  My old Qiu has no other skills, so I can cook two dishes. From now on, Brother Chenguang only needs to come to my place for dinner and say hello, and I, Lao Qiu, will take care of you personally. "

  The words are very simple, but Xia Jingxing can see that Qiu Zhiyi is a chivalrous man who admires Zhang Chenguang from the bottom of his heart and draws his sword to help.

  In this increasingly indifferent society, when something happens, let alone unknown strangers, sometimes even relatives and friends won’t help you.

  Zhang Chenguang smiled and had a drink with Qiu Zhiyi, and drank it all.

  Three people were eating food and chatting.

  After the third wine tour, Qiu Zhiyi looked at Xia Jingxing and slowly said, "Brother Xia, I may have to leave this store in a while."

   "Huh? Are you leaving? Where are you going? Returning home?"

  Xia Jingxing was surprised and said that Qiu Zhiyi was on the same plane as him to the United States.

  I've only stayed for more than two years now, and are leaving?

  Qiu Zhiyi's face was flushed after drinking a few glasses of wine, he waved his hand, "I'm not going back to China, I plan to open a Chinese restaurant by myself."

   "This is a good thing!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Are you planning to start your own business as your own boss?"

  Qiu Zhiyi had no courtesy, and smiled and said: "Humans, there must be some pursuit.

  I have been in the United States for more than two years, and I have gradually become familiar with the local society. Even in English, I can chat with foreigners.

  So, I just want to come out on my own and see if I can do a career.

  Don't think about being rich and expensive, I can have my own store and the business is booming, I am satisfied. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded, this elder brother thought very grounded.

  Many people who came to the United States to venture into the United States have also developed in this way one step at a time.

  Xia Jingxing asked: "Then where do you plan to open the store? It should be far away from Chinatown in San Francisco, right?"

  Qiu Zhiyi nodded, “Yes, I definitely can’t steal my cousin’s business. I will keep a certain distance from his store to avoid competition.

  In fact, my cousin is also very supportive of me going out and opening a shop, and he even invested me a sum of money to support my business. "

  "Your cousin, he is a very nice person! Take you to the United States to develop, and now I will give you money."

  Xia Jingxing can be regarded as a taste of the unity of the people of Fujian Province, and the sense of clan is very strong.

  Pay attention to relatives helping relatives. If you want to start a business, you don’t need to find external financing. Relatives have internal support. Many of them don’t even need to type IOUs, and they just talk about a "letter".

   "Yes, my cousin is really a nice person and helped me a lot."

  Qiu Zhiyi nodded and smiled, and then said: "Now I want to open a Chinese restaurant. I hope you can give me some suggestions."

  Xia Jingxing was stunned, and then laughed, “I don’t understand Chinese food. If you want to build a website, I can give you some suggestions.

  But in the catering industry, you really embarrass me. "

  Qiu Zhiyi smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, you can pass Belden.

  In fact, all industries have the same goal by different routes. They are all doing business, and there are similarities.

  In short, you can just say whatever you want. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, this old man is really a clever ghost, let himself be his staff.

  How can I give advice? The whole South Beauty?
