Yang Niu wanted to go over to persuade her father, but Xia Jingxing grabbed her by the arm.

"Forget it, I'll cover all the money I lost."

Xia Jingxing said seriously, "Let's talk about it first, it's not in vain, it's just a bride price."

The foreign girl is no stranger to the bride price, and she might joke a few words in normal times, but she is really not in the mood at this time.

Because she couldn't bear to watch her father jump into the pit.

Even if they gave their father the whole story, the psychological setbacks they caused cannot be made up for with money.

The foreign girl was about to break free, but Xia Jingxing held her tightly.

"Look at your father's state. He is extremely excited. He even held a celebration banquet in advance, and it will be on sale tomorrow. You can't convince him."

Xia Jingxing actually didn't care too much about Walsh's jumping into the pit, he is such an old man, he has to learn to pay for his actions.

"Then we just don't care?" Yang Niu turned her head and asked.

"I didn't say no! I will definitely think of a way for you to get the best of both worlds."

"What way?" Yang Niu asked.

Xia Jingxing thought for a while and replied, "Isn't the ranch his lifeline? I invested in a travel website in China, so I'll bring him some international friends to the travel head office, right?

Although this is a small step, it is a big step towards the internationalization of Walsh Ranch! "

The foreign girl's tense face suddenly burst into a smile.

"That's what you said. When the time comes, father will suffer a blow, and you will be responsible for enlightening him."

Xia Jingxing's chest shot of "Bang Bang", "It's on me!"

The foreign girl is finally relieved now.

The two walked back to where they were, and greeted everyone including Walsh before leaving.

Walsh didn't pay much attention, but Xia Jingxing was more pleasing to his eyes, because he knew that the son-in-law must have convinced his stubborn daughter.

the next day.

Gates' financial steward Larson led a team to visit Vision Capital, and the two sides had a secret discussion.

Vision Capital presented various detailed data and market research reports on the US housing market.

After seeing these things, Larson was much relieved about this financial operation.

After learning that Xia Jingxing personally planned to invest 1.5 billion US dollars in these two funds, Larson asked Gates for instructions.

Gates also showed the courage of the richest man, directly investing 500 million US dollars.

With a capital contribution of 2 billion U.S. dollars, the two funds of Lidong and Dongzhi still have a vacant share of 1 billion U.S. dollars.

In view of this, Envision Capital dispatched a fundraiser, the vice president of customer relations, to travel to major cities in the United States to start a new round of fundraising for institutional clients and the super-rich.

With Lixia and Xiaoman as references, two funds with excellent historical performances, the fundraising work went smoothly.

Liu Hai and Jiang Ping returned to New York, and began intensive preparations in the newly leased office building on Wall Street by Envision Capital.

Xia Jingxing, who stayed in Silicon Valley, received an invitation from Peter Thiel to attend a party of members of the PayPal gang.

The meeting took place at Peter Thiel's new home, an ocean-view apartment in San Francisco.

Xia Jingxing rang the doorbell, and it was Peter Thiel who opened the door, with his boyfriend Matt Danzerson standing behind him.

Now, Xia Jingxing was no longer surprised, he shook hands with the two of them, and after exchanging a few words of pleasantries, he handed the two bottles of red wine in his hand to Peter Thiel as a gift for moving to a new house.

Xia Jingxing followed Peter Thiel into the house.

There are already many people sitting on the sofa, including Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, Jeremy and Russell, the founders of Yelp, Max of the sliding company...

A group of people are playing poker and chess around a few tables.

Because Peter Thiel became a top 10 chess player in the United States at the age of 12, he brought his chess habit to PayPal.

PayPal went public that year,

The way the founding team celebrates is with a chess tournament...

With the acquisition of PayPal by eBay, the founding team dispersed, but seeing more than a dozen people reunited and still playing chess, Xia Jingxing felt that Peter Thiel's influence on the entire team was very unusual.

"Daren~"

Seeing Xia Jingxing appear, everyone got up, bumped fists and greeted Xia Jingxing.

Today, Xia Jingxing and the PayPal gang have formed a deep friendship, which belongs to the relationship between you and me, and me in you.

In the crowd, there were also some unfamiliar faces that Xia Jingxing had never seen before.

"This is David Sacks, the ex-COO of PayPal, who now runs an online genealogy service, and if you want to know who your cousin's cousin is, sign up for their website."

Xia Jingxing sized up the Caucasian man introduced by Peter Thiel, who was also a well-known member of the PayPal gang.

Online genealogy service, in other words, is a social network linked by family and genealogy.

As Facebook completely brought the concept of social networking to life, various vertically subdivided social networks were born.

The popularity of Geni Gurney in the previous life was due to the information on the website showing that President Donald Trump, who was running for the presidential election, was not only a distant cousin of Cheney, who was the US deputy commander at the time, but also a distant relative of Bush Jr.

How to find out is that each user uploaded his own family tree, and the information networks are related to each other, and who is related is naturally presented.

The website is still very interesting, and it will be even more interesting to add DNA information in the future.

Xia Jingxing shook hands with this friend named Sax who had an interesting name, and said, "I'm very interested in your genealogy website, do you accept investment?"

Peter Thiel laughed, "Haha, Darren, why do you ask people if they want to invest every time you see our PayPal people?"

Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "There is no way, who made you guys suitable for starting a business?"

His words are really not a compliment, and besides creating a series of unicorn companies, members of PayPal are also good at angel investment and incubators, such as Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest, etc. And other super unicorns have the investment participation of this group of people.

Sachs said that there is no need to invest for the time being, Xia Jingxing didn't force it, so he nodded and skipped it.

"Daren, if you must invest, invest in this friend's project!"

Pointing to a brown-skinned young man in his thirties, Peter Thiel introduced: "Prema Shah, formerly the product manager of PayPal, now he founded an online loan platform called Kiva, Very interesting."

Xia Jingxing's eyes popped out. The familiar smell, is it a P2P peer-to-peer loan? But he remembered that the owner of the online loan was LendingClub?

Prema Shah shook hands with Xia Jingxing and introduced: "Kiva is a non-profit private-to-private microfinance institution dedicated to providing small loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries to achieve the goal of eradicating poverty..."

After listening to the introduction, Xia Jingxing understood that this is a charity loan company, so he asked, "Then do you charge interest?"

Prema shook his head, "No! We are an interest-free loan, and there is no income from lending the principal. The website mainly relies on donations to operate."

Xia Jingxing looked at Peter Thiel, who smiled and said, "Daren, in my opinion, helping charity is a matter of great merit.

We have obtained success and money from this society, and now we are going to feed back the society, so that the most authentic side of human nature, that is, truth, goodness and beauty, can be reflected. While we are happy, we also help others. "

Xia Jingxing nodded. If it was public welfare P2P, there would still be some. Other P2P, no matter domestic or American, would be wiped out.

Prema said: "Daren, do you know Professor Yunus's Grameen Bank? Our model is similar. Through our website, you can lend money to poor people who are in desperate need of funds.

He may be a farmer who needs $200 for a better set of farm equipment;

Or it could be a mother of five who needs $2,000 to open a store where her children can read.

And this money, for those poor people who do not have any assets to mortgage, it is impossible to borrow in commercial banks.

Poor people living on the poverty line may just find ways to fill their stomachs every day.

Lend them start-up funds and let them look a little farther into the future, so that they can really get rid of poverty. "

Peter Thiel added: "Given the microfinance miracle Yunus has created in rural Bangladesh, he could be the Nobel Peace Prize winner this year."

Xia Jingxing knew this, and Yunus had indeed won the prize, nodded and said: "Okay, I am very happy to do charity.

I just want to ask, is China included in the list of borrowers’ nationalities? "

"Of course it's covered!"

Spreading his hands, Prema said with a smile: "China is the largest developing country in the world, and it is also the country that needs our help the most.

In fact, our website would like to hire you as a consultant in China for Kiva, and we are planning to enter the Chinese market in the next stage. "

Peter Thiel smiled at Xia Jingxing, "I invited you here today not only to reminisce, but also to introduce Prema to you.

Today, PayPal lets them use online payment services for free, and Google and Yahoo give them free keyword searches.

If possible, we would also like to ask Facebook and Youtube to provide free advertising services for Kiva. "

"It's not a problem at all!"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "In addition, I can also provide you with a loan of 1 million US dollars."

"That's great, thank you Darren."

Prema thought for a while, and then said, "Daren, we can use this million dollars exclusively for Chinese borrowers."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Then I will let China's Ari, Hainei.com, Tudou.com and other websites provide you with free advertisements."

Prema was overjoyed immediately, Peter Thiel glanced at this little brother, the corners of his mouth raised, now he knows the energy of Daeron!

Xia Jingxing does not reject this cause at all. It is actually encouraging people to use hard work to get rich and get rid of poverty. It is very positive energy. It is worse than direct donations to cultivate inertia. It is always better to ask for others than to ask for yourself.

After chatting with the PayPal members for a while, Peter Thiel pulled Xia Jingxing aside.
