America 1979

Chapter 106 The Flying Pig

"I know you, our Mangroves football player, last Saturday's game, you were the last one to stay the course, run through the crowd to that..."

After walking into the study, Olivia stared at Bill holding a book and started talking.

"The end zone, the area where a touchdown is scored is called the end zone."

Mr. Ferrari explained to her the words she couldn't pronounce.

She doesn't even know the end zone, so it can be seen that this woman doesn't pay much attention to rugby games on weekdays. Going to see the San Francisco Derby is just to join in the fun. After all, the big scene of 8 people is usually not visible.

"Yes, at that time I felt that you had the heroic temperament in the myths and legends, and you can fight against the whole world by yourself."

Olivia also picked up a book from the shelf, then walked over and leaned against the desk, standing side by side with No. 88.

Before today's meeting, she had already learned about this campus legend from various aspects.

It is said that Bill No. 88 is still single, and he will only have a serious relationship with his life-long wife, and then get married and have children with the blessing of the whole world.

Compared with the bohemian rugby school team members, Bill Ferrari, who basically has no campus scandals, has become the ultimate goal of many girls.Quite a few girls fantasize about dating the tall and handsome No. 88, but they can only realize this wish in their dreams.

Olivia didn't really believe this rumor at first. She hadn't had close contact with this campus legend. She had only heard that he was handsome. She didn't have much specific idea of ​​his handsomeness until the eye contact tonight.

With thick eyebrows and deep eyes, high nose and thin lips, the exquisite facial features seem to have been carefully carved by the greatest sculptor, and there is no flaw.But the facial features and figure are just embellishments. What attracts the opposite sex the most is actually Mr. Ferrari's self-confidence and high-spirited spirit exuded from the inside out.

"Ma'am, you are exaggerating my role. In fact, football is the most cooperative game in the game. For our offense, the offensive line is important, but the five big players on the front line also play a role. Each plays a role, without them, the quarterback is a target for the opposing defense."

Bill was modest. In fact, he prefers to be flattered by others. The ass of a beautiful woman is especially easy to produce hormones.

"But you're still the guy who gets the ball and gets the points."

Looking at the perfect profile of the campus star, Olivia felt that she could hardly breathe. Her heart was pounding, as if it was going to pop out of her chest.

Will I be the lucky one tonight?She couldn't believe how pregnant she was.

"Ma'am, you can actually sit down."

Bill pointed to the chair behind the desk and motioned for Olivia to sit on it, and then Bill sat down on the desk.This way, her eye level was just below Mr. Ferrari's chest.

There is a special hint in the sitting posture of the two.

With books in their hands, Bill and Olivia talked about interesting things about high school, their hometown, and their daily life to how their grandparents crossed the Atlantic Ocean and came to North America from Italy.

Compared with the noisy living room, the study on the second floor is much quieter. The dim light in the study adds to the ambiguous atmosphere. After the two young men and women talked less, the secretion of hormones gradually increased.

Finally, Bill, who stopped pretending, jumped off the table, took Olivia's face directly, and gnawed on his lips.

The freshman was also extremely cooperative, and after a few minutes, their movements increased until the end of the French kiss.

"How about we find a place?"

Mr. Ferrari proposed.

"As you arrange, I can do whatever you want." Olivia, whose heart has already melted, naturally listened to what the campus star said, and the two who had already established a tacit understanding immediately walked out of the study hand in hand, under the gaze of a large number of men and women on the first floor. Leave in style.

Sun Workstation Inc.

"Yes, after signing, your shares will remain roughly the same, and [-]% is already the limit we can do."

Dr. Andy explained to Mr. 88.

This contract has been seen by the accompanying lawyers, and Bill, who is quite satisfied with the terms, signed his name on the contract to participate in the second investment on the spot.

The thing is, Sun Workstation, which has been profitable since the beginning of September, is ready to expand its production scale, so the founders introduced a second round of investment, preparing to receive around US$500 million in funding.

In order to make the development more stable in the future, and to connect with the computer manufacturing industry, Sun Workstation Company negotiated with KPCB, a venture capital company in Silicon Valley, during which the founders brought in Bill, the previous investor.After discussion, Mr. Ferrari needs to follow-up with US$30 in this investment so that the shares will not be diluted.

After finding professionals in the computer manufacturing industry to prepare a report on the development prospects of Sun Workstation, Bill decided to follow suit.After learning that John Doerr, the founder of Intel, was among the partners of KPCB, he immediately decided to continue to follow up with the investment, using the part of the LLC company.

Although it is still an investment of 30 US dollars, this time only about [-]% of the shares, plus the part that was diluted to around [-]%, barely kept his holdings at the previous level .

After this period of in-depth understanding of startup investment, Bill also understood the significance of the founders pulling him into this investment, that is, the founders may think that Bill, a shareholder, can play a certain positive role in the company's development in the future.

"Speaking of which, the speed at which you are making profits is really beyond my imagination. Originally, I thought it would take at least a year for you to have the initial production products on the market."

After signing, Bill stood up and said to Dr. Andy.

This is the truth. In his previous life, he also roughly knew about the classic case of ofo sharing bicycles. Ofo had four rounds of financing, and the amount of funds in each round was calculated in billions of dollars. After a few years, it was completely lost. It is unknown whether it was profitable or not during the period, and it owed a lot of deposits from users.

What Bill didn't expect was that Andy's team actually put their computer into production in just over half a year, successfully found target customers, and achieved initial profitability.

Although they may be able to achieve such a fast speed through the limelight of the hardware manufacturing industry, Mr. Ferrari is still incredulous about the "flying pig" after experiencing it.

Only social trends can create wealth so quickly.

"You may not know it well, but our team is extremely professional. Three of them are from Stanford, and the other two are high-achieving students from UCB."

Dr. Andy introduced the founding team to investors.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
