There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 219
At six o'clock, Shen Fang and Qin Mohan dressed up and went to Serena's house to attend the dinner.

"Uncle Wu, this is brought from China for you." Shen Fang gave two bottles of Moutai wine aged for ten years and a large bag of Longjing tea to Wu Yeyang who was waiting at the door.

As one of the first batch of Chinese students studying abroad in the 80s, Wu Yeyang's feelings for the motherland are far greater than those of the second and third generation Chinese bananas in San Francisco.Although his parents have passed away, as long as he has enough time every year, he will go back to China and feel happy for the country's rapid development.

Wu Yeyang and Serena, who are members of the DINK family, have always treated Shen Fang as their own children. This year, they have been helping Shen Fang, a hands-off shopkeeper, to be busy with business. They didn't take time to return to China. Shen Fang felt very sorry.

This year can be regarded as a harvest year for Shen Fang. Facebook made an acquisition offer to whatsapp. As the law firm entrusted by Shen Fang, this acquisition project involving billions of dollars required them to carefully review all the legal terms. The negotiation process of this project lasted for nearly a year. After all, Facebook It is a well-known big company in Silicon Valley, and they hide layers of different traps in the acquisition terms, even Wu Yeyang, who has been in the industry for many years, dare not ignore it.

After introducing Qin Mohan to Wu Yeyang, Serena greeted from the side: "Charles, Monica, come in quickly. Welcome to my house as guests."

Serena, from the state of Mexico, made an authentic Mexican meal for the two.Empanadas, tacos, fajitas and a bright red broth served with a green salad.

The Mexican broth made by Serena is particularly delicious when eaten with baked crispy tortillas. Qin Mohan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Serena, it's really good. This tastes very good." Her English pronunciation is not very proficient, but with the encouragement of Shen Fang, he still praised Serena bravely.

"Thank you for your compliment. This is Berea. Charles used to like to eat this broth the most." Serena looked at Shen Fang's introduction lovingly. It took three hours of slow simmering and it was a unique food in their hometown.

"Wow, Serena, you are amazing. Can I learn from you?" Qin Mohan saw that Shen Fang liked it, and wanted to learn from him. Chinese cuisine can't compare to him, and Mexican cuisine starts from scratch. You can overtake on curves.

"Okay." After watching everyone finish eating, Shen Fang followed Wu Yeyang to the study to discuss work. Serena, as the hostess, took the initiative to bring Qin Mohan to the kitchen and introduce her the secrets of making Mexican food.

"Uncle Wu, thanks to you this year." For Wu Yeyang, Shen Fang was extremely grateful.

When he came to the study, Wu Yeyang took out the tea sent by Shen Fang and brewed a pot.

"It's still this fragrance!" Smelling the tea fragrance from his hometown Hangzhou again, Wu Yeyang couldn't help admiring: "After completing your merger and acquisition this time, I'm going to retire. I've already discussed with Serena, We are planning to go back to Hangzhou, buy a small tea garden, grow vegetables, grow flowers, pick tea, work at sunrise and rest at sunset.”

"Okay, I'll help you repair your ancestral house when I go back this time, so that you and Aunt Serena can live comfortably." Wu Yeyang has no children, so Shen Fang decided to take care of the two of them.

"It doesn't need to be too troublesome, just build a few acres of farmland, and we don't expect it to support us, the main thing is to find a farm."

"The film and television company I established in China is cooperating with the TV station on a variety show called "My Leisure Life". When the time comes, we will find another place near your hometown to buy it, and we can also be neighbors like now. "

Wu Yeyang said with emotion: "The young and the young leave home and the boss returns. The local accent has not changed and the hair on the temples reminds me. I want to return to my roots."

The two sipped tea, and after chatting for a while, Wu Yeyang took the initiative to talk about the result of the negotiation with Facebook.After more than half a year, after Peter Humphrey and Wu Yeyang negotiated repeatedly with each other, they finally met Shen Fang's expectations, which is why they had this trip to the United States.

"They don't agree to replace all the shares. Zuckerberg, your peer, is also a business prodigy, and he is as confident in Facebook's prospects as you are. Especially now that they have no shortage of funds and global business development, they have hoarded With a lot of cash, they would rather exchange 30% of your shares in WhatsApp with US$3 billion plus 30% of Facebook shares. The premium has exceeded 25%, and this is their last bottom line.”

"Uncle Wu, I know this. I don't want to wait any longer. Believe it or not, I will hang them with a market value of 200 billion. If it is delayed until next year, they will definitely swallow their noses. But next year, Facebook's market value will grow faster. If it is higher, although you can get more money, the shares will probably be less.”

Facebook’s current market value is about 800 billion US dollars, WhatsApp’s market value is about 150 billion, and 30% of the equity is worth about 45 billion US dollars. Shen Fang’s original request was to replace 5% of Facebook’s equity, but Zuckerberg rejected it.Shen Fang also knows that Facebook needs WhatsApp to expand the mobile content of its products, and it is impossible to give too many shares, and Facebook's technical potential should be ranked among the top three in Silicon Valley. If Facebook develops its own instant messaging Software, then WhatsApp is a bit of a loss. After all, WhatsApp lacks social content.

After leaving Wu Yeyang's house, Shen Fang and Qin Mohan walked home, and the shade of the trees was mottled under the shining street lamps.Although it is in the northern hemisphere, the climate in San Francisco, which is close to the ocean, is not too cold, but under the gust of night wind, Qin Mohan still shivered a little.

Shen Fang took off his coat and put it on for her. Today she went to Wu's house with Shen Fang for the first time as a guest. She only wore a long skirt and a thin coat. Now she felt warm in Shen Fang's suit.

"Aunt Serena is really good. She can cook Mexican, French, and Chinese dishes. I learned a lot from her today, and I will show you my skills someday."

"Okay, then I'll just wait and see."

"Uncle Wu and Serena have such a good relationship. Although they don't have children, they still stick together."

"I don't know if Aunt Serena told you, but Uncle Wu has only one son in his family. When they found out that Aunt Serena couldn't bear children, Uncle Wu's parents were worried. There is an old saying in our country, there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and there are no offspring." Big." Shen Fang sighed with emotion: "Aunt Serena also planned to divorce Uncle Wu to fulfill the wish of the two old people, but Uncle Wu refused later. 'Tie hair as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love and affection'. This is Wu A poem from my uncle to my aunt, and the two have been walking for more than 30 years like this."

"That's great. It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover." Qin Mohan said sincerely. After speaking, he found that the people around him were silent. Turning his face and looking at Shen Fang's expression, he knew what this boyfriend was thinking. He took his arm Said faintly: "I have found my priceless treasure, my lover. Only others envy me, and there will be envy of others. Ah...you let me down." Before finishing speaking, Shen Fang picked him up Running to the house, there was a burst of laughter and playfulness.

The next day, Shen Fang drove Qin Mohan to the Wangjiangtai Hotel, and Liang Hui and others, who had already started working on the film crew, had already rushed to the set.Only Tang Yuan and Zhou Qi, who had just lost their jet lag, were sitting in the room waiting.

"Go shopping, let Master Cheng drive you. You can also go to the location where the photos will be taken tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the venue. I will take Qian Bin to the Wild Fox Company today, and I will come back to see you in the afternoon."

"Understood, don't worry. We can take care of ourselves, and besides, Master Cheng is with us, so nothing will happen." Qin Mohan knew that these two days were important moments for Shen Fang, so it was not easy to disturb him. With the company of others, first finish his work, and then play happily with Shen in the United States for half a month.

Wild Fox is located in an office building in Palo Alto, where Silicon Valley is located. Although the building is unattractive, there are eleven large and small angel investment companies in it. Wild Fox is not the largest among them, but it is currently the one with the highest yield a company.

"Hello, sir, may I help you?" The receptionists in these investment companies will not underestimate anyone who comes to visit, maybe someone who looks sloppy will be there become a billionaire someday,
"I'm here to find Peter. My name is Charles Shen." Shen Fang didn't call Peter, nor asked him to greet him outside the door.In the past, Shen Fang often didn't come to the company for several months, and Peter and the others were used to it.It's just that Linda followed him back then, but this time it was Qian Bin.

"Wow!" The front desk lady exclaimed in shock: "Boss, welcome, I'm Tracy Coker, nice to meet you." After exclaiming, she felt a little rude, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm a little rude Yes, Mr Humphrey has been waiting for you."

"Thank you Miss Coker, this is a gift for you, brought from Huaxia." Shen Fang gave a copy of the bamboo handicrafts he brought to the front desk lady. The exquisite bamboo weaving made her fond of it. This big boss who doesn't come to the company often is even more favorable.

"Hi, Hansen! Hi, George! I miss you so much, Aunt Bessie..." Although they haven't come to the company for more than a year, the old employees in the business hall saw Shen Fang and saluted. Under the guidance of the employees, knowing that this is the long-admired boss behind the Wild Fox Company, Shen Fang was even more excited. Shen Fang also signaled Qian Bin to share the small gifts he brought with everyone.

Shen Fang gave Peter Humphrey a big hug when he stood at the gate of the office to welcome him because he heard the commotion outside, "Old friend, long time no see!"

Peter smiled and said, "I heard from Linda that you're talking about a girlfriend? When we have a party, we'll meet and see what kind of goddess can capture the most famous single prince in Silicon Valley."

"After the contract is signed, we will definitely hold a reception to celebrate. At that time, we will reward everyone for their hard work." The last sentence was addressed to all the employees in the hall.
