"Ilia, would you please take the kids upstairs first?"

At the end of dinner, Jeff suddenly signaled his wife Ilia and left with the children first.

Ilia looked at her husband worriedly before leading the children upstairs.

Then Jeff said sincerely: "I am really grateful for Mr. Pei's trust and kindness, but I have failed once, so I don't want to experience it again."

""

Seeing Li Ye and Pei Wencong's surprised expressions, Jeff smiled helplessly and said, "To put it, it was really an exciting but extremely bad experience."

"After I graduated from Stanford, I already had a stable job and a beautiful wife, and my life was very happy."

"But one day, one of my classmates found me and showed me his new sports car, so I was moved."

"I followed that classmate and entered the venture capital industry in Silicon Valley. In the 1970s, Silicon Valley was at the time of microprocessing explosion. Countless people became rich overnight or went bankrupt overnight."

"And I got rich and then failed again"

Jeff's face was full of bitter expressions, and he obviously remembered the past that was unbearable to recall.

"My wife and I sold everything we could sell, the house, the car and then we fled from that sad place and moved to New York."

"I was really confused at that time. My wife worked three jobs a day, maintained her family's life, and supported me not to give up on my dream of writing."

“Ha~”

Jeff shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "To be honest, before I received the invitation letter from Mr. Pei, I didn't believe that I would still have a day to turn over. Even when I received the invitation letter, I was hesitant to go to Hong Kong Island.

But my wife encouraged me to go to Hong Kong Island. She sold our wedding ring and raised enough money for me to buy air tickets."

""

Jeff spread his hands at Li Ye and Pei Wencong: "So now, how dare I change again, how dare I take risks again?"

Pei Wencong swallowed and said cautiously: "Mr. Jeff, we can actually sign a disclaimer agreement. Although your profits will be reduced, you will guarantee that you will not."

"No, no, no, there is no profit without risk," Jeff waved his hands continuously, and said calmly: "I can give you some advice on venture capital, but I really don't want to take risks anymore."

""

Pei Wencong and Li Ye looked at each other and had to accept this reality.

Then in the following time, the two did learn a lot about Silicon Valley from Jeff.

"Some people say Silicon Valley will go downhill because the production costs are getting higher and higher there. But I don't think so, I think Silicon Valley will eventually surpass Boston."

"Because the production structure of Silicon Valley companies is open, the companies around Highway 128 are large and complete, with their own system, and the accessories are not common to each other.

In Silicon Valley, companies are not large and complete, but specialized, and the components produced by different companies are compatible. This open production method is conducive to rapid innovation and innovation, and only vitality is there."

"In addition, California's legal environment is relatively loose, making job-changing easier, which has led to Silicon Valley being more tolerant of the phenomenon of talent flow.

Many people switch jobs to another company and want to come back a few years later. The company will not refuse, but instead welcomes you back very much. This may be more difficult in other places.

The frequent flow of talents brings the flow of information and the dissemination of knowledge, which is more conducive to the development of high-tech enterprises."

""

As Jeff's narration was said, Li Ye felt more and more regretful, because Jeff's vision was undoubtedly quite good.

Although Boston has not shown any sign of being completely surpassed by Silicon Valley, Li Ye knows the future of Silicon Valley, so he shifts his next investment focus to Silicon Valley.

And looking at Jeff's current appearance, he is not repelling the limelight industry, he is just afraid of the past. Otherwise, how could he still pay attention to the place that once made him sad many years later?

s??????????????

But Jeff did not see Li Ye's abnormality, but instead tried his best to help explain.

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Li, you may not know the difference between Silicon Valley and Boston treating work. Silicon Valley people "live for work."

In Boston, it is "working for life". People in Silicon Valley are all workaholics. They believe that work itself is fun and entrepreneurship itself is the goal.

I have seen many millionaires, millionaires, who wear jeans, eat pizza, and drink coke. Their consumption is disproportionately small compared to their wealth, and they are full of vitality.”

When Jeff stopped, he didn't even notice that his eyes had changed. He was not as deep as before, but had burst out with some strange brilliance.

Perhaps, he also hoped to transform from a civilian into a rich man like those entrepreneurs who ate pizza and drank coke!

Li Ye suddenly asked, "Mr. Jeff, I heard that there is a popular saying in that place in Silicon Valley - It’s OK to fail, right?"

""

Jeff was stunned, smiled, and did not answer.

It’s OK to fail—it’s OK to fail.

Compared with other places, Silicon Valley people are more tolerant of failure, making everyone eager to try.

If you fail in Silicon Valley, you will not be embarrassed. If you fail one company, you will run another one. In many other places, entrepreneurs will be discredited if they fail.

"I'm sorry Mr. Jeff, we're disturbing your life, we're sorry."

Li Ye did not force it in the end and said goodbye with Pei Wencong.

Jeff was also a little depressed. After all, Pei Wencong was still taking his follow-up royalties, which always made him feel a little uneasy.

After Li Ye and others got on the car, Wen Leyu, who had been silent, said to Li Ye softly: "Mr. Jeff is actually not willing to fail. He gave up his dream just because of his family's responsibilities."

Fu Yiruo also said, "Mr. Jeff may be a little timid, but he is a good husband and a good father."

Li Ye said: "Why, you all see it?"

Wen Leyu and Fu Yiruo both nodded, thinking that Jeff was a good man.

"Okay! Then it's not difficult for him. Let's go to San Francisco tomorrow and watch while walking!"

"I'll go to San Francisco tomorrow? Wouldn't we go to New York for a walk? Brother, sister Xiaoyu and I have never been to New York!"

Fu Yiruo was unhappy. She followed Fu Guiru in Nanyang since she was a child and had never been to the lighthouse. How could she not go to Manhattan to take a look now?

Li Ye nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, we don't have to hurry. Let's play with you enough first. After you have enough fun, then go to San Francisco."

“It’s almost the same.”

Fu Yiruo was then happy.

But Wen Leyu said lightly: "What should I do if my classmates ask you to Zhen Rongrong? It won't be delayed, right? Why don't we send it here first?"

Li Ye sighed and said helplessly: "Xiao Yu, I went to San Francisco to see it in Silicon Valley."

Wen Leyu blinked, curled the corner of his mouth and said, "I didn't say you're for anything else! Why are you nervous?"

""

Li Ye didn't say anything along the way, but after arriving at the hotel, he pulled Fu Yiruo aside and asked very fiercely: "Say, are you provoking me? Why did Xiaoyu suddenly learn to be jealous?"

Fu Yiruo looked at Li Ye with a gaze and said aggrievedly: "Aren't women jealous? How can they rely on me?"
