My Age of Investment

  Chapter 41 Throwing the Olive Branch

  When such an unpleasant thing happened, David and Miller also realized that Darren was not in a good mood, and left quickly after the interview.

  Xia Jingxing sat with the foreign girl and the little dog for a while, and also planned to leave.

  At this time, Xia Jingxing received a call from Andrew.

   "I thought you were going to beat those two hot chickens? It seems that you are calmer than I thought."

  Xia Jingxing chuckled, “It takes more effort to beat someone, and maybe you have to call in the police. There are better ways of revenge, why be so stupid?”

  "How is my performance in this play? Should I settle the appearance fee?"

  Xia Jingxing knew that Andrew was joking. When he invited the other party to act, the other party didn't mention any appearance fee at all, so he agreed with one bite, which was very refreshing.

  "Isn't it enough that I gave you a stage to show yourself?"

   "Haha~ I have seen the birth of a qualified profiteer."

   joked for a while, and Andrew started talking about the subject.

  "You are not an American, and you do not have a green card. There is such a thing as racial discrimination...As long as you are not African American, you will not be able to make any waves to the police.

  Even if it is a black American calling the police, it is of no use as long as the police coming is white. "

  Xia Jingxing understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "I know all about it, just make a fuss on campus, let them be well-known."

   "Well, the first task now is to kill their website, so other private grudges can be slowed down."

  There is no need for Andrew to teach this point. Xia Jingxing understands it and responded: “I know, thank you for your friendship, and I will keep you the opportunity of angel investment for three more months.”

  Andrew laughed on the phone, "When you have occupied the eight Ivy League schools, and the users have broken the 100,000 mark, then come and tell me about it."

   "Okay, I'll say it all."

   "Four horses can't catch up."

  ……

  ……

  The latest report from the "Stanford Daily" is quickly released!

  Because I have reported on Facebook in previous issues and plagiarized the website "ThisFacebook".

  The title this time is very exaggerated.

   is called "Shock! Senior racists plagiarize freshman website ideas and are abandoned by angel investors! 》

  The author of the article is David. From his own perspective, he explained to the newspaper readers the scene that happened in the cafe yesterday.

  "On that day, Dai Lun and I went to the cafe to chat with his team, and met Ryan and Phyllis, senior computer students of our school...

  Through the dialogue between Darren and Ryan, we can confirm that Ryan once wanted to join the Darren team and used the interview as an example of Darren's next development ideas.

  It is impossible for the despicable to succeed after all. The name "ThisFacebook" is already stinking in the Ivy League school.

  Everyone knows that this is a plagiarism site, does not respect intellectual property law, and has no original spirit...

  The two most terrifying people are still racists.

  I saw them scolding Darren that day...

  Stanford is an inclusive school, come here, regardless of race, religion, country...

  I am here to strongly condemn the two of them, and implore the school to give them corresponding punishments.

  Angel investor Mr. Andrew is an anti-racist. Upon hearing the words of the two, he decided on the spot not to invest in these two short-sighted and low-ethical people.

  When Mr. Andrew left, he handed Darren a business card...

  I wish Darren and his team a smooth future, and I wish Facebook a great company..."

  The article is full of thousands of words, which perfectly restores the story of the coffee shop, without letting go of a single detail.

  The author of the article, David’s butt, naturally sat firmly on the side of the Xia Jingxing team, praising the Facebook team for its original spirit and strong execution. He has almost occupied all eight Ivy League schools...

  And Ryan and Phyllis became David’s clowns.

  In interviews to collect business information, it can be seen that there is no basic moral quality.

  Racial discrimination, angering angel investors, looks bad and stupid.

  The whole story is a bit magical, with bizarre twists and turns, even the students of Stanford were dumbfounded.

  Especially this story happened on the Stanford campus. It feels very real by myself and others.

  The story involves "entrepreneurship", "plagiarism", "commercial competition", "angel investment"...

  This makes the Stanford students who have a strong entrepreneurial atmosphere in the school read with gusto, feeling full of dry goods, not like they are made up.

  Things continue to ferment.

Several club groups, including the "Computer Association" and "Entrepreneurship Association", took the lead and stated that they would remove Ryan and Phyllis from the organization, respect originality, respect intellectual property rights, and express their strong racial discrimination against the two condemn.

  The human rights organization of the school also made a statement, saying that it will investigate "racial discrimination" and give all international students an explanation.

Xia Jingxing also received a call from the Stanford Chinese Students and Scholars Association.

  Rao Lei, the president of the company, called him personally, and the other party wanted to meet him for a chat.

  ……

  ……

  In a small meeting room provided by the school for club groups, Xia Jingxing met for the second time Rao Lei, who was tall and thin, wearing glasses.

  Rao Lei was a little surprised to see Xia Jingxing. He did not expect that the great man who developed Facebook was the same student who fought at the party that day.

  The reason why I am so impressed is mainly due to Xia Jingxing’s non-mainstream short haircut.

  There are hundreds of Chinese students in the school, and there are very few boys with short heads, just a few, which is very eye-catching.

  On the phone, Xia Jingxing knew that the other party wanted to help her racially discriminated compatriot, so she called "Brother Rao" very politely.

   Rao Lei did not have any pretensions, very politely greeted Xia Jingxing to take a seat, and then began to hush cold and warm.

   "I am preparing to protest to the school on behalf of the student organization."

   Rao Lei filled in indignation, “We Chinese are not that easy to bully. Don’t worry, the association and I will definitely ask you for justice in this matter.”

   "Thank you so much Brother Rao and the association."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, no matter what, people are helping themselves and should be grateful.

  Rao Lei chatted with Xia Jingxing for a while, and suddenly asked: "Jingxing, is the campus social model like Facebook interested in introducing it to China?"

  Xia Jing was stunned, unexpectedly the other party would ask that.

   "It's still early days. At present, it is still dominated by the US market."

  Rao Lei laughed and nodded, “It’s a good thing to be too high.”

   But his conversation changed again, "But have you ever thought about it, you are Chinese, and your development in the United States will definitely be limited."

  Either you choose to be naturalized in the United States, or you must always return to China, because that is your root. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded. Rao Lei came to the United States in the 1990s. He has studied and worked in the United States for more than ten years. He is very familiar with the rules and gameplay, and what he said is all empirical, without excessive exaggeration.

   "The future is hard to say, let's make the website first."

  Xia Jingxing is also telling the truth, and the future is unpredictable. He is currently taking one step at a time.

  It's just that his "look at a step" is farther than most people.

  Rao Lei smiled, no longer asked about this topic, and asked about angel investment.

   "I read the school newspaper and said that an angel investor named Andrew asked you to contact him. Have you contacted him?"

  Xia Jingxing's heart moved, and he began to bewildered: "I have contacted, the other party is interested in investing in us, but there is still some disagreement on the valuation and financing scale."

   "Oh! That's it!"

  Rao Lei nodded, "I used to work in the venture capital department of Fidelity Investments. You can talk about the relevant situation and I will help you analyze it."

  Hearing this, how could Xia Jingxing still not understand what the other party meant.

  Co-authored you too!

  　Thank you for your rewards!
