"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that four years later, the founders of Xinghai still lived together as they did in the early stages of their business."

Gates, Su Yuanshan, Chen Haomin and Tang Wenjie came to the study on the second floor, looking like a guest.

If the few people present really meet, he and Chen Tang met more often. Especially Chen Haomin, a long time ago, he often took his browser team to work at Microsoft, and also had lunch or something.

Therefore, he was not very restrained, and sat crossing his legs in a comfortable sitting position, chatting on the sofa.

It was September, and it was also the hottest month in Silicon Valley. San Francisco, with Mediterranean climate, kept the temperature in a pleasant 100 degrees year-round. The coldest winter is no less than five degrees, the hottest summer is only in its early thirties, and it lasts for up to one week.

So Su Yuanshan, who was more casual, simply brought a watermelon from the refrigerator and cut it into half to serve the guests.

Gates smiled as he looked at Su Yuanshan cutting watermelon and asked with some interest: "I heard that Xinghai is causing a racial discrimination storm because of eating watermelon?"

"Hmm? Is there any? Why don't I know?" Su Yuanshan skillfully shaved the watermelon seeds and handed them to Gates. He handed them a piece to Chen Haomin, and asked curiously: "Discrimination against eating watermelons? Has Lao Hei been accused of Lao Hei?"

He asked this sentence in Chinese.

Chen Haomin smiled and nodded, and replied in English: "There are many Asians in our company, and sometimes they will tell the kitchen to cut some watermelon or something as fruit after meals. Then, unfortunately, a new black guy came in from the company. What's more, a buddy from his group in the same group handed a piece of watermelon to the black guy after meals..."

"Then I got into trouble."

Su Yuanshan was speechless when he heard this: "How to deal with it?"

Chen Haomin smiled and said, "You will know when you ask Yiwen later, she will deal with it."

Su Yuanshan's curiosity was aroused. How could he "wait for a while" and immediately touched Tang Wenjie: "Senior Brother, what's going on?"

Tang Wenjie also smiled: "Haha, Yiwen just cursed the person with her head and scolded him - cursed the black guy."

Su Yuanshan almost burst into tears: "When did the black guy be so easy to talk to?"

"The main thing is a misunderstanding, and it's really about racial discrimination..." Tang Wenjie pretended to be casual and glanced at Gates, and smiled and said, "How is it the black man's turn? And you know that your sister-in-law's temper is, she would rather go to court than compromise."

"..." Su Yuanshan thought for a while, Yang Yiwen's temper was really like this.

"What about that person later?"

"That person is still a bit capable. Now I am responsible for leading a team under my command to optimize memory recycling."

At this time, Gates, who had been listening to melons, interrupted and said, "If it were another company, the results of the treatment would be different."

Gates said meaningfully and looked at Su Yuanshan: "This is where Xinghai is different from other companies."

"Is Mr. Gates praising Xinghai for being more tolerant?"

"If you understand this...then I mean that." Gates laughed.

Su Yuanshan also smiled and shook his head.

He knew that Gates said that Xinghai was so popular that it could gain advantage in some aspects because of the "gene" problem - but Gates forgot that it was this gene that actually caused Xinghai to suffer a lot of prejudice.

Not to mention the distance, Xinghai's stock price is still hovering at more than 50 billion US dollars, which is proof that it is - whether in terms of profit or industry influence, Xinghai's stock price must at least double to be worthy of its identity.

Not long after, Ye Rudai went upstairs and asked everyone to go down to have a meal. Because Mr. Gates drove here himself, everyone did not drink, but instead ate the boiled fish that Qin Si cooked in person.

Of course, Mr. Gates was so hot.

...

After dinner, Qin Si cut a plate of fruit and brought it upstairs. Su Yuanshan also invited Gates into the study again, while the rest stayed downstairs to clean up the mess.

"Ms. Qin Si will be the chairman of Xinghai Fund."

After sitting back, Su Yuanshan said to Gates directly: "I believe that her investment behavior in Silicon Valley over the past four years is enough to prove that she is an extremely rare and excellent and competent investor."

Even Qin Si was a little embarrassed by Su Yuanshan's first praise of such words. She waved her hand and said, "It's all luck, Mr. Shan said too much."

Gates looked at her with a smile and said, "I think Su is right. Miss Qin Si, you are the best and most eye-catching female investor I have ever seen."

Qin Si's eyes circulated and she smiled softly, "Is it because I bought Microsoft's stock in advance?"

Gates laughed: "That doesn't count."

...

After the three of them laughed together, Gates turned to Su Yuanshan, and his expression gradually became solemn: "Su, first of all, you have to understand one thing, Microsoft is no longer Microsoft alone."

"Well, I understand - just like Yuanxin and Xinghai are not alone." Su Yuanshan nodded with empathy.

At his peak, Gates held more than 60% of the shares. When Microsoft first went public, he also had nearly 45% of the shares.

Even though he has been reducing his holdings over the years, Gates still has more than 35% of the shares in his hands, which is the absolute largest shareholder.

But as they said, when an enterprise develops to a certain extent, it no longer simply looks at shares, but the collective will of the entire enterprise.

Especially Microsoft, which uses the official domestic term, is "enterprise that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood."

"So, I can't include Microsoft in Xinghai Fund." Gates seriously blocked one way first: "I can only join your fund in my personal name."

Although Su Yuanshan was a little disappointed, Ragates joined the group, which was his minimum demand.

At this time, Qin Si glanced at Su Yuanshan and smiled and said, "Mr. Gates, how much money is going to invest in Xinghai Fund? How to enter?"

"By the way, we have roughly estimated these days that the cumulative valuation of shares of the holding companies under Xinghai Fund... has exceeded US$200 billion."

"And this is still the current statistic of Xinghai's stock price, and other companies only make estimates based on a 12-fold price-to-earnings ratio. As more and more unicorn-type companies go public, this valuation will increase."

"This is a summary of the holding and participating companies under Xinghai Fund, you can take a look."

Qin Si said that, then pulled open the briefcase and handed a half-centimeter-thick document to Gates.

“If there are too many, you can just look at the catalog.”

Gates took the file and just opened the directory, he felt a little dizzy.
