Chapter 472

It has to be said that Li Feng felt in his heart that he was lucky. These three Chinese are capable people, especially Xie Qing. They are definitely one of the representatives of Chinese students in previous generations in the United States. At the beginning, Li Feng also heard of such a capable person by chance.

The three people who came to Li Feng today are Deng Feng, Xie Qing and Ke Yan. They all graduated from Shuimu University in China. They are alumni. Later, they are all talents studying in famous American universities.

Now the three are doing well in Silicon Valley. Deng Feng is an engineer of Intel, Ke Yan is an engineer of Cisco, and Xie Qing is the security architecture director of Philips (Meidi).

Unfortunately, it is basically impossible to go further in Meidi's company. This is the reality of Chinese Americans or Chinese in Silicon Valley and even American enterprises, unless they are really outstanding figures.

Li Feng's only impression of the three people in his previous life was that their network security was made into a listed company. In 2004 or 2005, their company was acquired by almost $4 billion.

Then, the two founders returned home and became figures in the domestic venture capital circle. Xie Qing started a new business in Silicon Valley and continued to do his old business - network security. Later, Xie Qing's company became a listed company. The company he founded became one of the three major companies in the field of network security.

Xie Qing has become an academician of the National Academy of engineering and a man of the moment in Silicon Valley. Infosecurity, the world's most authoritative IT Security magazine, highly praised Xie Qing as "a few Chinese people who have an important impact on the world industrial pattern" and awarded him the title of "father of UTM".

It was by chance that Li Feng saw Xie Qing's report in his previous life. He was definitely a man of the moment in Meidi Silicon Valley. He had a simple understanding of the three people. Therefore, he wanted to directly bind the three people to his chariot.

……

Li Feng believes that if there are three people to join, the network security of his major companies will be really guaranteed in the future. In fact, the network security market can not be underestimated in the future. The market is very large. If you do well, you can make a lot of money.

After seeing off the three people, Li Feng returned to the office a little excited. Eric didn't understand Li Feng's excitement. He was just a few network security talents.

But Eric doesn't know that Li Feng is directly preparing to separate the network security company and establish an independent company. Li Feng doesn't want the network company to become a simple company department. It's really overqualified.

In the next few days, Eric began to receive people from all parties, mostly from venture capital and capital circles, and began difficult negotiations on the financing. At first, Li Feng didn't participate and watched behind the scenes.

Li Feng is very clear that the basic content is like this. The biggest difference is valuation, and then bargain like buying vegetables.

Today, the parties reduced the price by tens of millions. Tomorrow, they may talk about hundreds of millions. Finally, it's almost ready. It's just waiting for Li Feng to decide. Therefore, Li Feng gave Eric a bottom line and completely handed it to a group of negotiators led by Eric.

Similarly, Deng Feng gave Li Feng good news. The three agreed to Li Feng's proposal. The network security department of Feixun company was merged into their NetScreen (green network) company. After some integration, Feixun has 30% shares, and Li Feng's two private funds hold 20% shares respectively, so there is a new network security company under Li Feng.

……

In recent days, Li Feng and Deng Feng have a little understanding of their product firewall. Their first product firewall is a hardware firewall. Comparing the careers of the three people, it is also in line with the actual situation. They are all top talents in hardware development.

In fact, the three people have not completely left the company before. They all focus on R & D in Deng Feng's garage after work. Well, the garage inquiry in Silicon Valley is really popular.

Now, naturally, there is no need to stay in the garage. An office is arranged in a building next to Feixun company, in which Google and paypal are also in this building, which has been secretly bought by Li Feng through a real estate company.

As for the company, naturally, it was quickly registered with the help of a group of professionals, and the company's equity and other issues have been officially signed in the presence of lawyers from both sides.

Li Feng's action naturally entered the eyes of many investors. During the two-day negotiations, many people expressed their dissatisfaction with Feixun, saying that Feixun stripped off the industry without authorization, which is not the attitude that should be taken in the financing negotiations.

However, under the argument of Eric and a group of people, and the slightly reduced valuation of 5000, it was appeased. In short, it's still about money.

Some smart people have asked about network security companies, Google and PayPal, saying whether they need financing, which makes Li Feng feel that they are smart people. But they all said that they hadn't seen the product yet, so they dismissed it for the time being.

……

"Boss, that's the general situation now. Goldman Sachs is the highest. The quoted valuation has reached 2.7 billion, and our side has reached 3.5 billion. For the time being, both sides firmly say that the bottom line has been set aside." That day, Eric reported the financing negotiations to Li Feng.

It has been more than a week since the negotiation. Now it is gradually approaching the bottom line of both sides. Therefore, the negotiation has entered the final stage.

Similarly, Silicon Valley has recently become a hot spot in the United States. The valuation of Feixun company has surprised Wall Street and even the United States. It is amazing that the valuation is higher and higher day by day.

Another point is that ordinary people of Meidi suddenly found that the icy and Feixun company they used every day belong to the super genius of St. John Lee. They were surprised.

I've heard that Li Feng set up a technology company in Silicon Valley before. In fact, because Li Feng doesn't care at all, most ordinary people don't know the boss behind the scenes. It's not officially exposed until now. With the natural exposure and the growth of Li Feng's wealth, it immediately aroused strong repercussions in the United States again.

Many Meidi financial magazines even began to calculate the wealth of Li Feng's enterprises and individuals. Naturally, everyone was surprised by his wealth. They said that next, on this year's Forbes list, Li Feng is likely to directly enter the top 10, causing ripples.

Two days ago, Kenny and Mansour finally came to Silicon Valley. They thought they had arrived long ago, but they went to Miami first. It is estimated that they arrived after receiving the news that the financing negotiation has entered the final stage.

……

"God, John, look at your wealth. I can't think of it. I couldn't see it when I first saw you two years ago. You will develop to such a point in just two years. It's really God's blindness. Why isn't it me?"

Looking at Kenny with sunglasses, lying on the edge of the garden swimming pool of his luxury house, tasting the best Romani Kangdi wine in his wine warehouse again and again, and shouting with a newspaper, Li Feng was speechless for a while.

"John, where did you get the Romany conti? It's really an extraordinary wine. Unfortunately, the winery has only a few thousand bottles a year. It's too few."

"Yes, it's really good. Our family can buy dozens of bottles every year. They are all taken by the big guys at home. John, you're good. Everything is your own. This is life." Mansour, also wearing sunglasses and casual beach pants, echoed.

"Shit, Kenny, you're taking one of the last two bottles in the wine store." Li Feng replied depressed.

"God, there's still one bottle. Why didn't I see it before..." after hearing Li Feng's complaint, Kenny immediately smiled back at Mansour.

"Yes, I didn't see it."

"Mansour, I find that you have been with Kenny for a long time. You have been infected and become more and more shameless."

"John, my heart was hit. I decided to find another bottle of Kangdi in the wine warehouse as compensation."

“Shit！”

"Ha ha ha..."
