I drank a lot of wine with Master Jiang.

After returning home, I slept soundly through the night.

The next day.

I had nothing to do during the day. I handled some work at home in the morning and hired a professional team to clean the outdoor swimming pool. The weather was already warm enough to swim.

After lunch, I went with Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu to the hospital for checkups and then strolled around the mall.

I bought a bunch of clothes and shoes for the newborn baby, feeling like I was playing a doll-dressing game.

Listening to them chatter endlessly, Su Yehao secretly messaged Yin Liuli, asking if she wanted to go to the United States for a week-long vacation.

Her reply was that she was busy with work, and the internet crowdfunding business for critical illnesses was expanding, so she couldn't find the time. He simply went to tease Miss Vera.

Vera took a while to reply, telling him that she happened to want to go to New York to see Jan van Eyck's exhibition and might be able to meet.

Although he was with Vera, they were often separated.

She had her own rhythm of life, and Su Yehao couldn't always be with her, living like a normal couple, so for now, it had to be this way.

At eight o'clock that evening.

Su Yehao set off from Big Wave Bay and took a car to the airport. He had prepared earplugs and an eye mask in advance, and even brought cotton pajamas.

He often traveled long distances and was very experienced in this, clearly planning to sleep all the way to the United States...

Silicon Valley.

Su Yehao, who had rested for a full eight and a half hours on the way, felt that this trip was more comfortable than sleeping at home.

After washing up and changing clothes, he grabbed a burger for breakfast, and the plane landed at San Jose Airport.

The only problem was that the local time was evening again.

The colorful clouds had already filled the sky, which meant that after just one night, it was about to get dark again.

He certainly couldn't sleep, so Su Yehao planned to invite a few friends to chat at a bar, or hold a small private party.

As an outsider in the eyes of others, Su Yehao needed to appear popular enough to avoid being squeezed out by the Silicon Valley giants. Many opportunities were often hidden in interpersonal interactions.

Take Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan for example. His family office still held a lot of Yanwenzi Group stock and even participated in Google's financing. The relationship between him and Su Yehao was not as antagonistic as outsiders imagined.

Yahoo released too many shares back then, and Yang Zhiyuan's say was severely weakened as a result. Since leaving the position of Yahoo CEO, the management rights of these companies have been the responsibility of the board of directors.

As soon as Nasdaq began to recover, Yang Zhiyuan couldn't wait to regularly reduce his holdings of Yahoo stock.

At the beginning of the year, he also contacted Su Yehao, bringing KOKO Venture Capital to participate in the financing of several startup companies, presumably to help connect people and increase the probability of project success.

At their level, when they encountered an interesting project, they casually sprinkled some money.

Whether it succeeded or not didn't really matter. Maybe some unknown small companies that were done casually could bring unexpected surprises.

Searching his address book, he called Larry Page, Yang Zhiyuan, and John Zhou, asking them to bring some colleagues and friends to sit at a cocktail bar near Stanford University.

He originally wanted to contact Jobs.

But thinking of his temper, Su Yehao decisively gave up.

Compared to traditional interpersonal interactions, the social atmosphere in the United States seemed a bit more relaxed.

On the one hand, it was because people were used to keeping their distance and would not easily make requests that were difficult for others to fulfill. On the other hand, it was because even if others made requests, they could directly refuse them to their faces, and they were used to separating life and career as much as possible.

Of course, America was also a society that valued relationships, so small circles were often formed.

Su Yehao's employees and partners in the United States had spontaneously formed a club with a "Su-style" label. Yanwenzi Group and Google helped each other, and their relationship was so good that they were practically inseparable. Below them were PayPal, Netflix, Loveline, Instagram...
