"Queen Zhang and her wealthy American businessman boyfriend visited a well-known wealthy area in New York, intending to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a wedding house. They traveled with a mysterious rich man from China and a starlet in a large-scale car..."

Looking at the half-truths and half-falsities in the gossip news, Li Zhiyi cursed with disgust.

The headline of this news report is eye-catching, but the actual content has no impact on him. After all, he and Wang Suyi are tied up and the movie queen is not as famous as the movie queen. What the people like to hear is whether the movie queen is sunbathing with her boyfriend in a mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that his profile could barely be recognized in the photo and Zhang Ziyi took the initiative to tell him, he wouldn't have known that he was in the newspaper.

"Domestic gossip news is too subtle, but this kind of photo is considered large-scale? Isn't this a scam?" Xu Jing tilted the newspaper downwards forty-five degrees in an attempt to see something.

In the photo, you can vaguely see the man in the driver's seat through the privacy glass, with an expression of enjoyment on his face. A girl who can be seen as a beauty from the back is lying between her legs, completely blocking the sexy scene.

Not to mention turning the newspaper upside down, you just poke a hole and you can't even see a hair.

Li Zhiyi looked at him sideways: "What's going on, can I recreate the scene for you on the spot?"

"Boss, no matter what the newspaper says, I always firmly believe that the girl in the photo was looking for water." Xu Jing put away the newspaper with a righteous look on his face.

Li Zhiyi said angrily: "After getting off the plane, contact this newspaper to remove the news and get the negatives of the photos back."

After all, gossip news is not about selling movies, and it is impossible to publish large-scale photos to the public, but it is not necessarily true that "hair" is not captured. Li Zhiyi is not exhibitionist, and Wang Suyi is not only grateful, but also very sensible.

At the end of the day, there was no mention of benefits or promises, and he returned to his country as usual. It was like a friendly match, which was very in line with his wishes, so it was not good to ignore the matter and affect his career.

"Boss, we currently know that there are 12 VC institutions participating in the YC Incubation Camp Venture Capital Invitation Meeting, including a16z, Sequoia, and Sequoia... According to the information, you mentioned Sequoia as the most likely competitor. In fact,

The public is not optimistic about Airbnb. Other institutions hold the same view on Airbnb." Alison reported on the other side and started working seriously.

As the fashion week came to an end in early March, Li Zhiyi’s good days of shooting guns were over and he flew to Silicon Valley to handle Airbnb’s Series A financing: “It’s best this way, but it doesn’t matter what Sequoia considers, Gebia won’t

I hope 217 will participate in the Series A financing. Have Hassan and Pei Lin arrived in Los Angeles?”

"Well, according to the previously established work arrangements, Hassan led the team alone to take charge of Uber's seed round, and has now arrived in Los Angeles. Pei Lin stayed in New York to prepare for the second phase of 217 fund sales."

"Okay, there are so many things that I forgot." Li Zhiyi rubbed his temples.

The whole of February was so idle that March was packed with things. Needless to say, Airbnb and Uber, Bitcoin incubation projects, secondary market asset allocation, and Twitter’s Series B financing...

Everything needs to be dealt with urgently, and it is difficult to prioritize.

The proceeds from shorting the stock index arrived on time, and Li Zhiyi once again used TRS to buy $100 million in Apple stock with five times leverage. In fact, there are derivatives with higher leverage, but no investment bank is willing to do it, and even Goldman Sachs is unwilling to do it.

The quiet spread of the European debt crisis has made Wall Street giants nervous. Look at Lehman, which is still dug up and whipped to death by various "financial experts" on TV every day. It can "deleverage" on its own without threats from the government and save money at the same time.

The force is ready to trick the European ghost guys.

Li Zhiyi also plans to take advantage of the opportunity to do something big, and is currently looking for an entry point into European debt.

So he had nearly half a billion US dollars in cash flow in his hands. He was so anxious that he had nightmares. If he entered the market one day late, he would earn one less "Sigrid". There is no nightmare more terrifying than this...

As for Twitter, after the general election, the popularity has taken off. It is difficult to participate in Series B financing with the existing funds of 217 Capital, and a second phase of funds must be launched.

As for the second-phase fund, there is no reason to sign a 50% high-guaranteed income agreement. We can only find investors step by step, which really consumes energy.

"Those who do not plan for the eternity cannot plan for the moment."

It is difficult for Li Zhiyi to achieve short-term results by doing these things, but he has to do it. For example, Bitcoin will earn tens of billions of profits in ten years, and no one is willing to give up.

"Hey, Zhiyi, why are you here early? Are there any projects you are interested in?"

In a hotel provided by YC in downtown San Francisco, Li Zhiyi met the entrepreneurial trio: "You are the project I care about most, and there is no other project worthy of my personal visit."

"It sounds very touching, but I have to say, Zhiyi, your words are a bit offending to Mr. Paul. You must know that every project in the incubation camp is personally reviewed by Mr. Paul." Brian introduced with a smile: "Mr. Paul Graham,

The founder of YC incubator and an unparalleled outstanding venture capitalist!"

The middle-aged white man with a square face and a simple and honest face greeted him: "Don't listen to his nonsense. You are welcome to come. I believe you will change your mind the day after tomorrow."

"Haha, I think so too. Mr. Paul, you are the idol of our young venture capitalists." Li Zhiyi took the initiative to shake hands to show respect.

Paul was also very polite. Although YC is well-known, it was only founded in 2005 and lacked the foundation. As a newcomer to the New York venture capital circle, Li Zhiyi made a special trip to Silicon Valley to attend the venture capital meeting. It was a great honor. In game terms, it was called a full favorability score.

As for coming here because he was optimistic about Airbnb, Paul just took it as a joke.

"Honestly, when I first saw the Airbnb business plan, I thought the project was as bad as shit. I politely talked about the cereal they brought..."

Paul said vividly: "Until now, I am still not optimistic about the Airbnb project, but I believe these three young people will succeed sooner or later."

"Yeah, I was also impressed by their excellent execution. As for Airbnb, it's hard to say whether it's a genius' idea or a madman's idea." Li Zhiyi lied without batting an eyelid.

Airbnb secretly participated in the incubation camp and the early investment from YC and Sequoia in the original timeline made him subconsciously think that they regarded "Airbnb" as gold. After working for a long time, it turned out that people who simply think shit are worth investing in.

In this case, 217 and Sequoia may not be rivals...

"Agou, thank you for your hard work during this fashion week." The editor-in-chief in the newspaper office smiled and took out an envelope: "Well done, the boss will give you a personal bonus."

Agou looked extremely ashamed: "The editor-in-chief has won the award. This front page is far from meeting my personal expectations. You know that what I am pursuing is not explosive points. It is my lifelong wish to expose the extravagance and pretentiousness of the entertainment industry."

"Yeah, I understand. That's what I appreciate most about you. Our company supports you. Go out and take the news off the front page later." The editor returned.

"What? Remove... the editor-in-chief, actually I..."

"The United States has sent a lawyer's letter. The young man you photographed has a green card and is very rich. Can you understand what I mean?"

Agou was silent for a while and gritted his teeth and said: "...I understand, I understand."

"Well, go ahead and get the photo negatives."
