Start by trimming cow hooves

I originally planned to set off after lunch.

I waited until after three o'clock in the afternoon before leaving.

On the way to send Miss Lily home, the girl stretched out her hand to rub her neck, which felt slightly sore. It seemed as if she had opened the door to a new world and learned some new knowledge. She was far more excited than Suri.

Suri is quite thick-skinned.

Secretary Amanda looked at her with strange eyes, but her expression remained unchanged.

She was thinking about whether she should find a reason to deduct her salary, so as not to take advantage of her boss.

I saw off Lily on the front foot, then picked up Alexandra Daddario, and set off for the airport. It can be said that time management was quite good.

During the flight, take a short break.

Daddario has never flown on a private jet.

After landing and stopping, she saw a car parked in front of her, and then she whispered to Suri:

"It turns out that you are living such a life. You can jump in line and take off without leaving the station aisle. It is so comfortable. Remember to remind me later on what to pay attention to when eating and discussing business, so as not to be despised by others and cause you to lose face."

Her job is not going well, and she has been sitting on a plateau for half a year. The total savings in her bank card may not be enough to cover the expenses of this voyage.

I always feel uncomfortable breaking into Suri's life.

Although no one said it to their faces, it is true that there is a huge gap in status and status, as if they have climbed to a high level by virtue of their beauty.

Recently, both her roommate Blake and Dalula Riley, who often visited her, expressed their gratitude for her good luck, as if they found it incredible to be able to catch a man like Suri.

Just now, because she didn't know how to use the seat massage function and Suri was sleeping again, although the flight attendant was polite when teaching her, Daddario always felt that the other person's expression was a bit unclear.

In fact, the flight attendant did not look down upon her.

The bottomless ravine just shook my head, so my eyes looked strange.

The main reason was that Daddario was worrying too much.

These days, she has seen luxury cars, mansions, private jets, and even came to Silicon Valley to discuss business.

Facing many things that are far away from normal life, Daddario inevitably worries about gains and losses, and clearly realizes the disparity between the two, especially when they are the same age, she only feels like a failure.

Fortunately, Suri was considerate enough and didn't make her feel insecure. After hearing this, she patted Daddario's hand and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, you just need to eat quietly, and don't tell anyone what you heard during the meal, especially your father. If I make you unhappy one day, he will use the resources of the federal prosecutor to investigate me. , wouldn’t that be unlucky? It’s hard to have a 100% problem-free transaction, and there can always be some flaws.”

Daddario replied:

"Don't worry, I can be deaf and mute. The federal prosecutor is not omnipotent. My father always has a headache when he meets those Wall Street tycoons. How about I wear this outfit tonight, or should I change into an evening dress?" "

Suri waved his hand and said:

"It's very beautiful. Business in Silicon Valley is not as sophisticated as New York. I still remember the first time I went to Mark Zuckerberg's dormitory. The guy only wore a pair of boxer briefs. Now he is still doing business on a scale of tens of billions of dollars. Ordinary people. When you get along with them, you will have the illusion that these people are superior, but actually getting along as friends is quite interesting."

This did not appease Daddario. She paused slightly and said melancholy:

"That's right, I'm just that kind of ordinary person. Even if you look at me, I'll feel superior. I must have enough strength before I can get along with them easily and blend into the circle naturally."

"That makes sense. It's easier for you to be on top than it is for me to be on top."

"..."

What was originally a serious topic suddenly changed.

Daddario couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

Suri then added: "It might be interesting to film a drama about the war between the New York federal prosecutor and the Wall Street oligarchs. Will your father be a consultant then?"

"No problem. When you appear in front of him, my parents' expressions will definitely be very wonderful. They always think that my life is a failure."

After saying that, Daddario also observed Suri, after all, it was barely enough to meet the parents.

A novice like Su Rui, how could he dare to take this easily? He just pretended not to understand anything and replied: "Let's wait until the preparations really start before we talk, so as not to disappoint your parents in the end..."

A few years ago, while studying at Stanford University, he bought a villa in Menlo Park.

At the beginning of the year, it was worth about US$8 million, but he found a real estate agent to sell it in time, and the final price was US$7.7 million.

Anyway, it can't be left idle for a long time. It's a waste to keep it in hand. It successfully avoided a big drop.

Before the subprime mortgage crisis, housing prices in the Silicon Valley area rose rapidly. Living in the house for three years helped him earn about $4 million in the end.

Since I don’t have a house, I can only stay in a hotel this time.

Located at the Rosewood Hotel in Menlo Park, Suri often brought girls over for dinner during college.

The hotel manager still remembered him, greeted him warmly, and helped arrange a king-size bed room with a wide view and excellent scenery outside the window.

5:10 p.m. Western time.

Suri opened her suitcase and changed into a black shirt and dark gray trousers. She simply combed her hair and took Daddario to the restaurant for an appointment.

The restaurant is called “Buck’s”.

Just a few minutes' drive from Sand Hill Road, where investment companies gather, this legendary restaurant has witnessed countless business negotiations and is deeply loved by local venture investors.

Both Suri and Netflix founder Reed Hastings are familiar with this place.

When Reed Hastings arrived, he was accompanied by a middle-aged man who introduced him with a smile:

"Greg Peters, he is the chief operating officer of my company. If I remember correctly, Suri, you and I have met before, right, at a party hosted by Zuckerberg?"

Su Rui stretched out his hand, shook hands with each other, and introduced:

"I did meet you, Mr. Hastings, but we had no business interactions. You are already an outstanding Silicon Valley entrepreneur, while I am unknown. My female companion, Alexandra Dadari Miss O, a Hollywood actress with great potential."

As the CEO of Netflix, Reed Hastings has seen a lot of celebrities in his work.

Not impressed at all by Daddario, he smiled politely and complimented him on how beautiful he looked.

Daddario was a little depressed, but he couldn't blame Suri. She really didn't have any outstanding personal achievements.

Mr. Hastings turned his attention to Su Rui again and replied:

"I am still the same person as before, and your worth has far surpassed mine. Young people in Silicon Valley are more powerful than the other. I am already forty-eight years old, and I am almost old. I was very surprised to hear that you wanted to discuss business with me. , has Facebook decided to acquire our company, or can it launch some other cooperation?”

We had just sat down and the food had not been ordered yet.

Let’s get straight to the point.

Suri shook his head and explained:

"It has nothing to do with Facebook, it's my personal decision."

"I hope to invest a sum of money to help you spin off Netflix's online TV business, and the two parties will establish a new company to try to shoot some movies and TV series independently."

"Currently, users can recharge their memberships and rent CDs while using the online TV platform for free. You have invested huge amounts of money, but it will not bring in revenue in the short term. This will make you feel embarrassed. When this part of the business is divested, users will want to use It requires additional recharge membership, which is very beneficial to you and me..."
