Rebirth of the internet boss

Chapter 499 Party
Two days later, at the gate of Li Feng's mansion with sea view in Silicon Valley.

Larry Page, who received the invitation call from Li Feng, has come to attend the private party organized by Li Feng at home.

Larry Page seldom goes out for activities. He prefers to stay in his own home, or study something in his office.

But this time when Li Feng invited him, not only did he come, but he also came two hours earlier.

"Larry, you're finally here. It's so hard to invite!" Seeing Larry Page get out of the luxury car, Li Feng and Lu Lu greeted him.

This is a private banquet, Chinese people are very hospitable, the two of them are dressed at home today, like a couple receiving guests at home.

"Feng, long time no see." Larry Page gave Li Feng a warm hug.

"It's only been a few days, it's been a long time! But I thought your friend was too busy inventing to come!" Li Feng joked with a smile.

"How is it possible? Even if I forget myself, I will not forget your invitation. After all, this is the first party you hold in the United States. I have to show you face." Larry Page said,

"Come on, I heard that you've been happy recently. It's said that Hollywood beauties have made a lot of friends." Li Feng and Larry Page are good friends, and it's okay to joke with each other.

"Okay, Feng, you already have beautiful wives, so don't worry about Hollywood actresses, you invited me to a party at home this time, isn't there something wrong?"

Larry Page came to the appointment, of course he knew that Li Feng would definitely discuss something with him, so he had the confidence to ask clearly.

Li Feng said: "It's nothing, I just happen to have nothing to do right now, so I specially get together with everyone, it's just a simple family gathering, at my place, eat barbecue, drink red wine, and hang out with each other."

"Okay, I won't ask too clearly, I will leave it to you today, but I have to wait for Motorola's matter, and I will call you the day after tomorrow."

After Larry Page finished talking about Motorola, he just let it go.

In fact, Li Feng really has nothing to do, it's just that at Li Feng's level, this kind of simple gathering is a big thing, whether it's a thing or a thing.

Li Feng and Larry Page's Google company have in-depth cooperation. This time, Larry Page came to the house to participate in this party. In fact, he wanted to deepen this cooperation.
Although Li Feng's current career layout is not necessarily worse than that of Google, after all, Google is an established Internet industry in the United States, and its Android system still needs Google's promotion.

Coupled with the fact that he and Larry Page have a good relationship, Li Feng must take the lead in entering the mobile phone field. After all, it is for the Android system.

Because Larry Page was the first guest, and he came earlier, Li Feng led him around the villa, and Li Feng was fine, anyway, there was a special housekeeping company for this party Serve.

Larry Page is also a person who likes to enjoy himself. He also has a mansion, but he is not as rich as Li Feng, but he has a yacht, but Larry Page appreciates Li Feng's choice of residence: "Feng , your mansion is not bad."

Li Feng and him chatted while walking in the mansion: "My wife Lu Lu sold this here. It has an area of ​​2000 square feet, has more than 10 bedrooms, and exquisite gardens and rest areas. Some bedrooms are directly connected to the garden. It is connected, and you can see the sea view. Others such as lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, indoor billiards room, small cinema, wine cellar that can store red wine, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and an administrative center of nearly [-] square meters. I think it is not bad. The environment fine.

Larry Page was also chatting about homework: "It's really good, how much does this house cost?"

Li Feng looked at Lu Lu, he didn't know how much the house cost, "Don't be envious, it can't compare to your mansion in New York, the house over there is too expensive. If you plan to buy a mansion, I will Suggest a place for you, Palm Beach. The luxury houses there are really good. I might buy there in the future, and we can be neighbors."

In fact, this is true. Generally speaking, houses in Silicon Valley are expensive, but they are nothing compared to luxury houses in other places.

Of course, Li Feng's social experiences let him know that the real luxury houses in the United States are in those leisure and vacation places, such as Palm Beach, Florida, where the luxury houses cost hundreds of millions.

It is said that some of the top mansions in Palm Beach, Florida cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and there are not a few of them, but generally such mansions were built a long time ago.

It is basically impossible to go now, after all, the land price was cheap in the early days, and some people could easily buy a lot of cheap land.

The mansion in Palm Beach, the most famous in later generations is Trump's so-called "Winter Palace" holiday estate, which was actually converted into a private club by the police.In fact, to be honest, although this villa is luxurious, it is really not the top one on Palm Beach.

There is a very interesting tourism survey in the United States. During the peak tourist season in Palm Beach, more than 1/4 of the wealth in the United States swims in Palm Beach. From this, it can be seen that in Palm Beach, Howe really has no humanity. .

From the early Vanderbilt family, Rockefeller family, Morgan family, Mellon family, Carnegie family, etc. to the modern Moon family and Baker family, they were all once the masters of Palm Beach.

In Palm Bay, there are a lot of telecom tycoons, oil tycoons, financial tycoons, industrial tycoons, and so on.

Top luxury houses often have hundreds of bedrooms, all kinds of other configurations, and magnificent decorations.The mansions are all in the shade of green trees, with private beaches, marinas and absolute safety, which is definitely the best place for leisure and vacation.

Palm Bay, Larry Page must know, that place is where the super rich in the United States live.

Larry Page sighed: "Feng, tell me when you want to buy, we will be neighbors in the future."

Larry Page and Li Feng came to a resting place and sat down. They drank red wine and enjoyed the sea breeze and sunshine.

After a while.

Qualcomm's Paul Jacobs came, followed by Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.

Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are the co-founders of PayPal and important members of the "PayPal Gang". After they successfully sold PayPal to eBay, one became a venture capitalist and invested in Facebook and others; one re-founded Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and Tesla Inc.

Peter Thiel has a close relationship with Li Feng, because both of them are investors in Facebook, and Peter Thiel also supported Li Feng in the matter of Facebook, allowing him to invest in Facebook again.

So after seeing Li Feng, Peter Thiel also gave Li Feng a big hug, "Leo, it seems that you have integrated into American culture, but you haven't seen the real American culture yet, I will show you some other day!"

Peter Thiel's yummy expression is an expression that men can understand. Is there a more down-to-earth culture in the United States!
It's just that Li Fengzhi isn't here, and besides, he already has several beauties like Lu Lu, so he doesn't like the big American horses.

接着彼得.蒂尔又把埃隆.马斯克介绍给李锋，其实早在2006年的1月，李锋就先后以200万美金和300万美金分别入股了埃隆.马斯克的太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）和特斯拉各2%、5%的股份。

And because of Peter Thiel's relationship, Li Feng also invested in LinkedIn, a professional social networking site founded by the same "PayPal Gangster" Reed Hoffman,
Although Li Feng is a shareholder of Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company (SpaceX) and Tesla, this is the first time he has met Elon Musk. He is a typical tall image. Called "Iron Man".

Li Feng is more interested in Elon Musk. Apart from his extraordinary experience, he is indeed a bit like "Iron Man". The main thing is that Li Feng is very interested in rockets. "Everyone has an aerospace dream in their hearts." , and this is an area that domestic companies simply cannot set foot in!
Li Feng also had a casual chat with Elon Musk, and then asked him about Musk's launch of the rocket by Space Exploration Technology Corporation.

Elon Musk said with a smile: "Leo, I was just about to talk about this too. Our SpaceX is ready for the second test launch. As a shareholder of Space Exploration Technologies, are you interested in visiting it? "

Li Feng owns 2% of the shares in Space Exploration Technology Corporation, which can be regarded as a minority shareholder.

Although the first rocket test launch of Space Exploration Technology Company failed, Elon Musk is very confident in this test launch. Now Space Exploration Technology Company's funds have begun to be stretched, and it can only support two more at most The test was fired, so this test is extremely important to Musk and must be successful.

Because only in this way can more investment be brought to space exploration technology companies.

Seeing Elon Musk's confident expression, Li Feng smiled without changing his expression: "Okay, I really haven't seen a rocket launch. If the time is right, I'm definitely willing to go and see it."

"The time is March 3, don't forget to come when the time comes," Elon Musk said confidently.

Li Feng nodded without changing his face again, because Li Feng knew that this test launch was destined to end in failure, and not only failed this time, but Elon Musk's third test launch also failed .

However, Li Feng would naturally not talk about this kind of thing. One is to tell it out, no one will believe it, and there is no way to explain it. The other is to prepare for future plans.

At this moment, Peter Thiel smiled and said, "Leo, sometimes, I really admire your vision."

Li Feng looked at Peter Thiel with a smile, and asked, "How?"

"You have to know that in Wall Street, if you want to invest in a company, you will do a sizing analysis report beforehand. Even so, it is impossible to achieve 100% success. A [-]% success rate is already a very good result. .”

"But your investment has almost never failed, and someone on Wall Street is already studying you!"

Li Feng laughed and said: "I attribute this kind of thing to his luck. In fact, in the final analysis, investment is nothing more than an investor. If this person is worth investing in, then his career will naturally have a high probability of success." gone."

Peter Thiel laughed: "What about Facebook?"

When Li Feng invested in Facebook, he was almost kicked out by Zuckerberg in the end. In the end, Li Feng and Peter Thiel directly joined Zuckerberg.

Li Feng said with a smile: "Facts have proved that Zuckerberg is worth investing in, but my relationship with him has affected the follow-up of this investment. Besides, investors and entrepreneurs have problems almost every day in the later stages of their careers." The problem that every investor will encounter, in my dictionary, is to encounter a problem, and just solve the problem!"

Elon Musk laughed and said, "I have no intention of kicking you out!"

Li Feng smiled and said: "This is natural. You are different from Zuckerberg. You are a mature entrepreneur. And I believe in your ability, so I will invest in your company. If you need it, I can also Keep investing!"

Elon Musk shook his head and said, "I hope your investment will not be used anymore!"

Li Feng understands that Elon Musk is worried that the rocket launch will fail again. This is a proud person, "I also hope that I will not use it in the future!"

At this time, Don Valentine, the founder of Sequoia Capital, also came. This is the father of venture capital in Silicon Valley. He said bluntly that at least 80% of the companies in Silicon Valley are related to Sequoia Capital. It was his investment object, so when he came in, everyone stood up.

And Don Valentine came uninvited this time, mainly for Fengrui's financing.

After the news of Fengrui's financing was released, it caused a lot of sensation in the investment world. No one wanted to give up such a gluttonous feast.
What's more, through this investment, we can establish a good relationship with Fengrui. You must know that Fengrui is an investment expert, and he has many high-quality companies under his umbrella. Fengrui's financing is equivalent to finding a forest.

Because Don Valentine came prepared, his posture was also very low, "Leo, we have a good foundation for cooperation, especially our three-party joint investment in the 'Sequoia Capital China Fund' with Shen Nanpeng, and now we are developing good condition

So I also intend to establish a closer partnership with Fengrui, so this time Fengrui's financing... you have to think about it, funding and so on, everything is not a problem. "

Li Feng also admires this old man from Sequoia Capital. He can be regarded as a leader in the development of Silicon Valley, and he also has a decisive influence in Silicon Valley and the United States. Happy to fulfill.

It's just that business is business, and now Li Feng can't speak too slowly, "Mr. Don Valentine, I have received your sincerity, but I can't give you an answer now. I have to wait for me to go back and discuss with the team." Let’s discuss it later, if possible, I will invite you to participate in Fengrui’s opener conference this year.”

Don Valentine doesn't expect to succeed once. His coming this time is mainly a matter of attitude. Give Li Feng face, which will be beneficial to subsequent negotiations, "Leo, I will definitely participate in Fengrui's opener conference this year. .”

At this time, almost all the people came, and there were quite a few who came here because of the reputation. Li Feng also treated each other with courtesy, and soon the banquet began. Red wine, steak, and fruit salad were the main dishes of American parties.

It's just that at the beginning of the banquet, another unexpected person came, that is, Caroline Rothschild.

But since everyone came, Li Feng didn't hesitate to push them away, let alone this was one of Lu Lu's few good friends, so Li Feng endured it.
