Chapter 749: The Best Reward
Chapter 245 The Best Reward
On November 20th, at 10:15 local time, at Norman Mineta San Jose International Airport, when Feng Yiping stepped down the gangway, Feng Zhenchang asked him with his hands on his hips, "Is this America?"
"Yes Dad,"
The other three elders, although they are all exercising their waists and legs, have been paying attention to the surrounding buildings. The airport is only a two-story building, not to mention compared with the capital airport, even the provincial capital.
Looking around, the surrounding buildings are all two or three-story small buildings, and they are very scattered. They are not modern, prosperous or lively at all. What about the high-rise buildings seen on TV? What about the endless stream of cars? What about the well-groomed, haughty, tall guys?
For the past two days, I have been staying in Hong Kong, where skyscrapers stand next to each other. Now I am in Silicon Valley, and it really feels like I am in the countryside.
It wasn't until passing through the urban area that the scene he saw contrasted somewhat with the image of the number one power.
"This is the largest city in Silicon Valley, with a permanent population of just under one million. The land is sparsely populated, so they don't need to build too many high-rise buildings,"
"I remember you said that there are more earthquakes here," Feng Zhenchang looked curiously at the few Americans on the street outside, and asked.
"Just a few felt earthquakes, not big,"
Feng Yiping is lying.
California, USA is really an earthquake-prone area, especially in San Francisco. In 1906, there was an earthquake with the highest magnitude ever recorded, with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale. In 1989, there was an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9. Before Feng Yiping was reborn, in 2014, another earthquake occurred. 6 grades together.
However, due to the good earthquake resistance of local buildings and relatively dispersed personnel, earthquakes in California, including the Los Angeles earthquake in 1994, were characterized by a small number of casualties but large economic losses. For example, in the San Francisco earthquake in 2014, no one was killed.
Because of this, there are so many rich people who can safely settle in this frequently active earthquake zone.
"Rich people cherish their lives the most. According to Yiping, since there are so many rich people living here, nothing will happen," Mei Qiuping summed up brilliantly, "But you should be careful, or move to their president's house The place, Hua, Washington? That must be a good place,"
"Mom, it's far away from there. This is the west side, and that is the east side. You can see clearly when you come to our house, it's very safe,"
Although it was different from what they had imagined in their minds, the elders, who had gone abroad for the first time, had been greedily looking at the exotic scenery outside all the way.
Feng Yiping introduced to them the seemingly inconspicuous companies that he passed by. Which one has a market value higher than the annual GDP of a domestic province, which one is four or five times that of the city, and which one can be bought at will. Going to dozens of hotels like their own in Hong Kong gave them a more intuitive understanding of the wealth in this area.
"That's up to you, I'll wait for you to make the company better than these companies," Mei Jianzhong said.
"Good grandfather,"
Although they have seen this home in Silicon Valley many times in photos and videos, when they actually arrived, they couldn’t help being amazed when they saw this pure American-style mansion with a good view. already,"
"It's a good deal. It's not much more expensive than those luxury villas in China. Moreover, this house is built on the rocks of the mountain, so it's safe even in a big earthquake,"
Mei Qiuping looked at so many glass around the room, and the door that looked unsafe, "This kind of house looks good, is it safe to live in?"
It was exactly the same as Feng Yiping back then.
They have not yet adapted to Hong Kong, and hurried to the United States further away. After the novelty, they were all a little tired. They went back to the room one by one to experience jet lag. Huang Jingping and Feng Yiping, two young people who were somewhat immune to this, sent them back from the crew The luggage, this time, was miscellaneous, and they brought nearly a ton of things.
Huang Jingping stretched her waist, and hugged Feng Yiping who was unpacking the cardboard boxes, "Why do I still feel that this place is more intimate?"
"Because I only left for a month or so,"
…………
The dinner was placed under the porch by the swimming pool in the backyard. The elders looked at the beautiful scenery of the bay in the sunset, as if eating had become an incidental thing. "Why haven't I been able to capture this feeling?" Feng Zhenchang said looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him. .
This afternoon, he and Mei Qiuping took many photos, but the effect of the photos was far from what he saw with his own eyes.
"I told you that it's useless to just buy books and read them. It's more effective to find someone to teach you," Mei Qiuping said. "Ask Yuxuan to find out if there are any training courses in the province."
Although Feng Yiping and Feng Yuxuan tried to get their parents to develop more hobbies, the only thing they have never let go of is photography, and now it seems that they are finally willing to invest some time and money in this hobby.
Feng Yiping was very happy.
"Where's the maid?" Mother Huang asked her daughter.
"She ate inside,"
"It looks like an experienced person, but their way of raising children is probably different from ours,"
"Actually, she seldom takes it with her. Yiping is reluctant." Huang Jingping glanced at Feng Yiping over there happily. Changing diapers, teasing the little guy when he is in good spirits, but she does all the housework, "
"No wonder you said you could bring it here. In your day," Mama Huang thought, this eldest daughter is a blessed one.
To take care of the elderly Mei Jianzhong, on the second day, everyone went shopping in the neighborhood around home. Feng Yiping accompanied his father and grandfather lying on the deck chairs by the pool in the backyard in a daze, playing chess, or teaching tennis on the tennis court. They played tennis, mom and the others were still sorting and sorting the things they brought. This day was very leisurely, and grandpa was more energetic.
It was Mei Qiuping, who kept talking about how there should be so much open space to grow vegetables.
In the early morning of the third day, all the people went to San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Alamo Square, the Palace of Arts, Jiuquhua Street..., they went all over, even Feng Yiping and the others were transferred so much by San Francisco for the first time. comprehensive.
"There are still not as many high-rise buildings in China, and even provincial capitals can't compare," said Mei Qiuping, sitting in an outdoor cafe in Beitan, looking at so many foreigners around her.
"It's not bad, but it's a bit old," Mei Jianzhong said.
Having said that, in fact, this morning, there were quite a few things that surprised them. In some places, they were as surprised as children who entered the city for the first time.
The trip to Chinatown in the afternoon disappointed them a lot. They all agreed that this place is a bit nondescript, let alone eating here. "It's better to make instant noodles,"
The trip to the winery in the Napa Valley the next day was unanimously satisfied. Even Mei Qiuping and Mama Huang, who never drink wine, tasted a few glasses of wine from the winery, which is a bit like traveling.
Seeing the relaxed and happy smiles on the faces of grandpa, parents and them, Feng Yiping hugged Huang Jingping from behind, also smiling happily, feeling full of strength all over.
Although after rebirth, he set himself a task that was difficult to complete, but it was indeed necessary to work hard, but making his family happy and happy was still his top priority.
So far, this task has been completed very well.
The smiles on their faces are the best reward for Feng Yiping.
"It looks better than the photos?" Mei Qiuping said to Feng Zhenchang when she set foot on the Stanford campus for the first time.
"It's pretty grand," Feng Zhenchang nodded, "There's no wall around it."
Mei Jianzhong, who was wearing a jacket, walked in the front, with his hands behind his back, and walked in the middle of the road with his head held high like he was the production captain in a large group. Not to mention, he really had a bit of momentum.
Not far ahead, Li Jialun suddenly saw the group of them. Amidst the screams of his girlfriend, he slammed the steering wheel, and the Porsche turned onto the side road.
Of course, he knew the news that Yijia was very popular in Hong Kong, and he was a little afraid to face Feng Yiping now.
"Hi," Feng Yiping greeted a classmate he knew well, and connected Jin Ling's call, "Have you boarded the plane yet?"
"Board the plane right away, how are the preparations in San Francisco?"
"It's very good. I've seen it. The road show company is better organized than ours in Hong Kong. And, don't forget, this is not only the territory of Sequoia and their shareholders, but also my territory. Don't worry at all,"
"You have been playing crazy these two days. I guess you are the only boss in the world who was so relaxed before going public."
There's no way, it's like taking an exam at school. I've done too much preparation before, so there's really no need to be too nervous now, just perform normally.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to it. In fact, while playing around in the past two days, he has been thinking about what he will say at the road show.
Different from the roadshow in Hong Kong, considering that Autonet, which will be listed in a few months, still has to do the same work, he is the protagonist in the two roadshows in the United States, so that the next roadshow in the United States will have more good foundation.
Therefore, the following road shows in San Francisco and New York are his moments of glory.
