Chapter 1100 Settling Down

A local hotel chain in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, Carol brought Zheng Jiayi and Wu Xinyang to the restaurant of the hotel.

Carol ordered steak, Zheng Jiayi ordered chicken, and Wu Xinyang ordered salmon.

This is Wu Xinyang's first meal in the United States. Compared with the western restaurants in China, it is not so refined, it looks very casual and natural, and the portions of the dishes seem to be larger.

The table manners that I was worried about at first were really not a problem at this time. The black girl Carol directly picked up the pre-dinner buns, eating with her left hand for a while, and sometimes with her right hand, very casual.

As for what the body needs to be upright, the elbows should not be placed on the table, the distance between the body and the table... In fact, it doesn't matter, it is no different from eating in a small restaurant on the side of the road in China, how can there be so much attention?

One thing is true, the restaurant here is a little quieter, but the so-called everyone speaks in a low voice, that is also nonsense, no one deliberately suppresses the voice, and there are more than one people who answer the phone at the dining table. bit.

The reason why the overall quietness seems to have nothing to do with the quality is because the table is small.

The restaurant where they dined, no matter the square table or the round table, can only accommodate four people at most, and most of them only sit two people, all sitting next to each other, who will make a fuss?

But if you try a round table with at least ten people in a domestic hotel restaurant, it may not be quiet, and it may be even more noisy.

But Wu Xinyang still felt a little uncomfortable, mainly because there were all kinds of foreigners on the front, back, left, and right sides, and what she heard was all in English, which made her feel a little lonely.

Carol eats a lot but doesn't talk much, nor is he very kind. After signing the receipt, he gave them a business card, "You can rest in the hotel in the afternoon, or you can go out for a walk. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me." I'll call, at six o'clock in the afternoon, I'll pick you up and go to Mr. Feng's house for dinner."

"Thank you,"

But the two still decided to fight jet lag at the hotel, especially Wu Xinyang, maybe because they were too excited, maybe because they finally realized their childhood wish, from the moment they got off the plane to now, they feel dizzy.

But some can't sleep.

She simply sat by the window and looked at the swimming pool, a rare facility in the backyard of the hotel in China, at the low and sparse buildings around, at the sparsely populated streets at this time, at the rows of palm trees, Looking at the rolling green mountains in the distance....

"To be honest, if it weren't for the company parks I saw on the road, I really didn't feel that this is the world's high-tech center,"

Zheng Jiayi also couldn't sleep, she leaned on the bed and watched TV, "Do you know what it felt like when I first came here? I feel like I walked into an American-style film and television shooting base, which is still very simple. "

Wu Xinyang thought for a while, then laughed, "It's really similar,"

"But after a closer look, I think it's really nice here. You look at the greenery, you look at these houses, it seems that every house has green areas, flowers and big trees, and you look at the supporting facilities... Living here will definitely be very comfortable. ,"

"The main reason is that there are few people," Zheng Jiayi, who has been here once, has some research on these. "San Jose, the center of Silicon Valley, has surpassed San Francisco in population and is the third largest city in California. But do you know how many people there are? Less than 1 million,"

"And its area is close to 3,500 square kilometers,"

"You are from Shanghai, right? You should know some statistics. The total area of ​​Shanghai is only more than 6,000 kilometers, which is less than twice that of San Jose. But what is the population? It must have exceeded 10 million,"

"It seems to be 12 to 3 million already," Wu Xinyang said. "Compared in this way, it's really far away."

She shook her head, went back to bed and lay down, "Tell me, why is Silicon Valley so powerful and has so many world-renowned companies?"

"I also asked Feng Yiping this question, and he said that there is nothing difficult to understand. Silicon Valley is actually similar to the development model of some coastal towns in our country."

"For example, if a company in the town makes money by making shoes, many people will soon follow suit to set up a shoe factory. The related facilities in the town will become more and more mature, and more and more relevant talents will gather," he said.

"The difference between that small town and Silicon Valley is that the earliest fortune there was made of shoes, and the earliest fortune here in Silicon Valley was Hewlett-Packard, a semiconductor and computer company,"

Wu Xinyang thought for a while, "It seems to be true,"

"He always has a point,"

"Then why are there still the most successful well-known companies here?"

"It's also simple. Feng Yiping said that the reason why there are so many excellent companies in Silicon Valley is mainly because there are a large number of start-up companies in Silicon Valley. With such a huge base, even by probability, a few excellent companies will naturally appear,"

"What everyone didn't pay attention to is that those who died were unknown, and the splash was not splashed. There are more small companies. Behind one surviving family, there may be more than ten dead companies, but no one thinks about these. Those successful examples, And the entrepreneurial environment where everyone is brave enough to try has stimulated and influenced more and more people to join the wave of entrepreneurship...,"

"Furthermore, the comprehensive foundation here is already the best in the world, and the related systems are also very complete, so the probability of success is indeed higher,"

"But none of the projects he invested in seems to have failed," Wu Xinyang said.

"He also said that he is not qualified to fail, nor can he afford to fail, so when he was in junior high school, he was thinking about how to do business in the future,"

"You know him pretty well,"

Zheng Jiayi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, "You will know after getting in touch with him a lot. He is very enthusiastic and also likes to show off. Sometimes you ask a question, and he will say a lot,"

"It seems that the classmate is still different. He is with us, but he doesn't have so much to say," Wu Xinyang got into the bed, "What do you think he is doing now?"

"He's now..." Zheng Jiayi started, but she also lay down without further words.

Wu Xinyang also felt that he had asked a stupid question, and he was naturally sleeping now.

However, his sleep is definitely different from that of them who are single.

He and Huang Jingping hadn't seen each other for a while, and it was obvious at the airport that Huang Jingping's eyes had been glued to his body, saying that Xiaobie was better than a newlywed, the two of them, how could they "sleep" now?

…………

These two girls with not so simple minds really think a little too much.

After the meal, the grandfather and the parents on both sides couldn't bear it anymore, and went back to the room to sleep one after another. Feng Yiping also took Huang Jingping back to the room to "sleep". Although I can only think about it for a while, the quilt cover thrown into the washing machine the next day can fully explain some problems.

Now that the child's mother is right in front of her eyes, what is there to be polite about?

However, he couldn't do Huang Jingping's work, and Amanda was very clingy to him. After finally coaxing her daughter to sleep, Huang Jingping and Leticia were sorting out the things they brought from China, and ignored Feng Yiping's explicit hints.

Yes, Feng Yiping, who is a little impatient, can also understand, the five elders are here, so let's wait until the evening, a good meal is not afraid of being late, right?

He went to the study and made a phone call, mainly to agree on the time to go to various companies, and work is always the main theme of his life now.

Page couldn't wait for him to go to the company early tomorrow morning. Buchanan asked if he needed to come back from New York. Merback hoped that he could arrange a trip to Seattle as soon as possible. Mike wanted to talk to him about the group of people sent from China Ahmed also has a lot of problems to report to him,...

Fortunately, everyone is not too unreasonable, let him "take a good rest today,"

Seeing that there was nothing urgent in the mailbox, he came to the backyard with a few reports. The weather today is close to 15 degrees, with no wind and sunshine, lying on a deck chair, watching seagulls flying on the sea in the bay area, smelling Looking at the freshness of the newly mowed lawn, I should be home, and there are so many relatives at home, so I feel very relieved. After a while, my eyelids start to fight.

Then go to sleep, anyway tonight, hehe, I should sleep late.

…………

In fact, Huang Jingping has been thinking about him all the time. Seeing him in the backyard, there was no movement for a long time. She walked over to take a look, and as expected, he was already asleep! It should be a little cold, and the body is still curled up.

She quickly brought a thin blanket and gently covered him.

Feng Yiping was still startled, he opened his eyes, said "um", and pulled her into his arms.

"Relax, baby, everyone is here,"

Feng Yiping didn't speak, just hugged her and didn't let go.

Huang Jingping naturally enjoyed this kind of intimacy, seeing Feng Yiping beside her, she was filled with peace and joy, "Are you tired?" She asked softly.

"I'm not tired, I'm used to being tired, but with you and my daughter by my side, I feel very at ease," Feng Yiping still closed his eyes, "Holding you makes me feel more at ease,"

"Hey," Huang Jingping scratched his nose, "You have such a sweet mouth, did you do something to offend me in China?"

"Speaking of this," Feng Yiping opened his eyes, "Let's talk about uncles and aunts. You, don't discuss it with me. You told them that last year."

Huang Jingping's eyes dimmed a little, "Don't worry about it, I know they will definitely ask about this when they come this time, or should I tell them, anyway, I just don't want to get married,"

"Stop talking, I've made up my mind a long time ago, I can't be too greedy," Huang Jingping hugged Feng Yiping, "I'm very satisfied with the current state,"

"Jingping, I'm sorry, in fact, Zhang Yan and I are now,"

During the day and night in the provincial capital, he couldn't see Zhang Yan in the end.

"I know, don't worry, she will calm down," Huang Jingping said with certainty.

How many women can resist you? At least I can't, and Zhang Yan certainly can't.

"sorry,"

Hearing this, Huang Jingping paused, "No, I'm sorry for her,"

"Don't think about it, go to sleep," Huang Jingping kissed him on the face.

…………

"Is this a mansion in America?" Wu Xinyang asked Zheng Jiayi in a low voice, looking at the houses of different styles hidden behind towering trees on both sides of the mountain road.

"I haven't been to a few places, but it should be considered," Zheng Jiayi said, "Although the outside looks inconspicuous, and the reputation is not as famous as Beverly and Palm Beach, New York's Upper East Side, there are indeed many places in Silicon Valley. mansion area,"

However, both of them can be sure of one thing, Feng Yiping's house on the top of this hill is definitely the best house in this community.

"It's really nice here," Wu Xinyang said, looking at the large lawn and garden in front of the house, which looked like a park, and the standard tennis court next to it.

"What's rare is the view, right, it's even better than the mid-level villas in Hong Kong," Zheng Jiayi said.

Huang Jingping led Amanda over, "Jiayi, Xinyang, are you resting well, is the jet lag reversed?"

"Slept well, Amanda, let me hug you, look, what is this?" Zheng Jiayi took out a Barbie doll from behind.

"Jingping, your family is really nice," Wu Xinyang said.

"In the future, I will spend more time at home," Huang Jingping said. "The main reason is that Yiping likes such a place with the mountains behind and the sea. Domestic prices have been skyrocketing in the past few years, and the price has not changed much. If you like it, you can buy it in two years."

Just like what I saw at the airport at noon, Feng Yiping's five elders were going around the children again, "I'm a little jealous," Feng Yiping took the two of them to the backyard, "I'm a little jealous." Is it upside down? Can you go to work tomorrow?"

"It's the other way around, of course we have to go to work tomorrow, and we are all looking forward to joining the team in the United States immediately," said Zheng Jiayi and Wu Xinyang at Feng Yiping's house, finally able to hold hands without being misunderstood or attracting strange looks.

"That's good, you go to the company together tomorrow, the group you are together, will be fixed posts one after another in these two days, you two, I mean, get acquainted in Silicon Valley for a few days first, after that, Jiayi, you will be sent to Seattle, join Coin Stars, like I said before, learn from the spokesperson,"

"As for you, Xinyang, you have two choices. You can do some basic work in the M&A department, or you can consider joining the restaurant we are preparing,"

ps: Happy National Day, folks!
