Chapter 469 Be careful

"I'm Maiga, Brian, come and see!" Joe Jebia exclaimed loudly.

I got Ma Liang's check of 1,000 US dollars and an extremely simple business card at the cafe. The two didn't care much at first.

After all, there is only the name and phone number on the front, and there is no other information.

When you turn to the back of the business card, the information is simpler, with only the logo of [Dafeng Capital] and a string of English names [Gale Capital].

Brian Chesky and Joe Jebia are currently just unemployed young people. Not to mention the venture capital circle, they are not even programmers, and they rarely pay attention to Silicon Valley news.

So at the beginning, [Dafeng Capital] was not linked with the popular Twitter.

They thought Ma Liang didn’t know where he was rich second generation, and just learned to play with investment.

However, the two were still grateful for the check of 1,000 US dollars. They planned to rent an extra apartment and then set up a rental in the next few days.

When you make money back, you must share the profit equally with Ma Liang.

But when he got home, Joe Gebia was bored and checked the business card online with Ma Liang, and was stunned on the spot.

No matter what, he never expected that he would meet an angel investor on Twitter.

Brian Chesky was also stunned and murmured: "How is this possible? We really met a big shot?"

"Bryan, do you think he was lying to us? This business card is not fake, right?" Joe Gebia asked suspiciously.

Brian Chesky's round face slit up and immediately glanced at him: "What are you worth cheating on us two poor guys?"

"That's true!" Joe Jebia was immediately excited, "I didn't expect that we were lucky today and were appreciated by big people.

Brian, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get our plan done.

If it is really feasible to rent an air bed, then why can you do a big deal next? Maybe you can get an angel investment from [Dafeng Capital].”

Brian Chesky replied with a contemptuous look: "You think too naively, it's not that easy to invest in angels.

Just because of our small-scale air beds, even if they are rented out, it cannot be considered a true verification of the business model. Are you a fool when you are an investor?"

"Then let's test it first, if it works, then make a big deal.

When we reach a certain scale, we will find the generous Mr. Marlon to get the angel investment." Joe Jebiya replied confidently.

Brian Chesky: "I always feel a little uneasy."

"Don't hesitate, Brian, we were planning to rent air beds to solve the rent problem anyway, let's do it first!" Joe Gebia persuaded again eagerly.

Brian Chesky then agreed: "Okay, let's try it first.

If it is really feasible, I will bring another skilled friend to help.

After all, we can still handle simple websites. Once the business comes, we still have to find professionals to develop them."

The friend he mentioned was Nathan Blekasak, a software engineer who graduated from Harvard University, one of the three partners in Airbnb's previous life.

Twitter has three giants, and Airbnb naturally has three musketeers.

From the perspective of entrepreneurship, the three founding partners are the best team composition, just like an iron triangle, and it is not easy to break up in the early stages.

Some entrepreneurial teams have already argued and even turned against each other before they can get financing.

"No problem, then you can apply for the website domain name first. I'll talk to the administrator and find a way to rent the apartment downstairs." Joe Gebia was already a little impatient.

So the two of them acted separately and officially started Airbnb's entrepreneurial journey.

Ma Liang, on the other side, was busy packing his luggage and had already left Airbnb's two founders behind.

Tomorrow he will rush to Stanford to see Su Xiaomi, and then he will fly back to China directly.

He had to go on a journey the next day, so he went to bed early.

...

Palo Otto, or Xifuju Restaurant.

Ma Liang took his assistant to Stanford University from San Francisco early in the morning and called out the big girl to have a meal together.

Su Xiaomi originally wanted to come alone, but her roommate Li Li stuck with her and insisted on going to the banquet together.

She couldn't resist this foodie, so both of them appeared in front of Ma Liang.

Although there were only four people to eat, Ma Liang still ordered a large table of dishes, which was not short of money. No matter how expensive the dishes at Xifuju were, what could it be for him?

"Mia, this green and pepper fish is so delicious. I have never eaten it before."

Li Li was deeply grateful for her foresight. If she hadn't been to the shamelessness, she wouldn't have eaten such delicious food?

Fortunately, I was smart, and I saw from the beginning that Mia had a very problematic situation.

Why are you talking about seeing an ordinary friend and making fun of a ghost?

It has been so long since school started. Apart from her roommate, Mia doesn’t like to deal with people, so where does she get any friends?

When she noticed something was wrong, she followed her with a stingy bullet.

Thanks to my conciseness, I almost missed a super meal.

Li Li was beautiful while eating, but Su Xiaomi had no appetite, because today's meal was a farewell banquet, and that bad guy was going back to China.

Although she knew that there shouldn't be any messy thoughts in her heart, and she knew that the bad guy would feel more at ease when he went back to take care of his mother and sister, she just couldn't be happy now.

Listening to her roommate chattering, she scolded for no reason: "If you eat more, eat more, even a table of dishes can't block your mouth."

"Yes, yes, I'll eat, if I don't eat more, I'll lose a lot today."

Since we got along with each other at the beginning of school, Li Li has become familiar with the temperament of this roommate, so naturally he can see that Su Xiaomi is very unhappy.

She was too lazy to see this arrogant girl, and she focused on dealing with delicious food.

Seeing this, Ma Liang advised: "Xiaomi, you should eat more! I haven't seen you for so many days, why do you look like you have lost weight?

Are you unaccustomed to eating in the school cafeteria?

Should I hire a Chinese chef to prepare three meals a day for you?”

Not to mention that recruiting a full-time chef is just a small task for him. For the sake of Sister Bingmei, he has to take good care of the big girl.

"No need, the school meals are very good. I just miss my mother and Momo."

Su Xiaomi shook her head suddenly and hurriedly found an excuse to explain.

However, this reason is not complete. It is just one of the factors that usually have no appetite, and there is another part that cannot be said at all.

Ma Liang didn't know her little thoughts, but just mechanically comforted her: "Silly girl, she is such a big girl, you have to learn to take good care of yourself.

If you really miss home, just buy a plane ticket and go back, we can’t afford the money.”

"I understand, I'm talking nonsense." Su Xiaomi replied stiffly, but after hearing these concerns, her eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet.

When Ma Liang left, she really had no relatives in the United States.

She was feeling sad here, and the roommate on the side was excited again: "Marlon, can I go with her when Mia returns home?"

"Of course it's OK, welcome!" Ma Liang felt funny when he heard this, and agreed happily.

Li Li grinned with joy: "Yeah, that's great!"

Su Xiaomi immediately became unhappy and directly revealed her sketch to her roommate: "Go and go, do you know how expensive the air ticket is? Do you want to bear the money?"

"I can go to work and earn travel expenses!" Li Li glanced at her and replied proudly.

Su Xiaomi was so angry that she was speechless and glared at the other party fiercely. She made a secret decision in her heart that she would never bring this oil bottle when she returned home.

To ease the atmosphere, Ma Liang quipped: "Lily, don't listen to Xiaomi's nonsense, you don't need to pay for the air ticket."

With the rich woman's enthusiasm for her daughter, the big girl must be chartered again if she wants to return to China.

If Li Li wants to go to China with her, she doesn’t have to buy a plane ticket.

"Ah? That's not good. I can get the air ticket myself." Li Li didn't know the situation at all. She thought Ma Liang was going to generously donate the money to contract her air ticket, so she was embarrassed to accept it.

Ma Liang just smiled and didn't explain too much. Anyway, this mixed-race beauty will naturally understand.

After dinner, he sent the two girls back to school, and he was going to say goodbye with his assistant.

Su Xiaomi showed reluctance to leave her face. She wanted to say something but felt that her words were blocked in her throat. After holding it in for a long time, she said something: "After you go back, don't bully Momo."

"It's all nonsense, Momo, who can bully her!" Ma Liang replied with a very rude temper.

When Su Xiaomi thought of her sister's elves, she felt much better.

"You guys go back, I should leave!" Ma Liang waved to the two of them, said hello, and was about to get in the car and leave.

Su Xiaomi nodded sadly, pulled her roommate and turned around and left. She couldn't see the scene of parting, for fear that she would not be able to do anything, because tears were already spinning in her eyes.

As a result, before taking two steps, Li Li broke away from her arm, ran to Ma Liang in a hurry and asked, "Marlon, do you have an MSN or Hotmail email?"

She knew that it would be difficult to have another chance to contact her after today, so she ignored her roommate's anger and started to think about her own little thoughts.

"Uh, no, I only have a QQ number!" Ma Liang replied in a daze.

He subconsciously told the other party about his QQ number, and for some reason, he inexplicably refused this mixed-race little beauty.

Although Li Li had never used QQ, she still wrote it down carefully: "Hehe, then let's keep in touch!"

As he said that, he ran towards Su Xiaomi again excitedly.

"Okay!" Ma Liang responded with a wry smile, turned around and left.

Li Li caught up with Su Xiaomi in a few steps, and saw her roommate glaring at him with anger, and immediately stepped forward to please him and said, "Mia, don't look at me like this, I'm afraid."

"Hmph!" Su Xiaomi snorted coldly, her little face turned red with anger, and she quickly walked towards the dormitory. She no longer wanted to pay attention to this idiot roommate.

Li Li chased after him and shouted behind him: "Mia, don't be angry!

Don't you know me, don't worry, I just want to get to know you, and I will never rob your good brother..."

"Stop coming, I don't want to talk to you guys anymore within three days."

Su Xiaomi shouted indignantly, "I am so angry because I know your humanity very well."
