Chapter 299 Return
After sending Colin and the others away, Evan talked to Roy about his views on Silver Mountain.
Silver Mountain, a department temporarily attached to the alphabet company, will become a professional company when the time is right, and it is positioned as venture capital. However, whether it is Evan who made this request or Roy Edwin, the interim head of the department, does not have a clear understanding of how the so-called venture capital company should operate.
Evan is a "experienced person", but he has only heard of some legendary stories from venture capital companies, such as investing in half of the Nasdaq Sequoia. But this does not prevent him from throwing out the concept of venture capital.
Moreover, in fact, the venture capital industry has not taken shape at this time. The so-called venture capital is just some personal behavior, mainly a wealthy person with small capital, neither large nor formal. For example, Evan had been a venture capitalist before, targeting McDonald's.
The true venture capital will not appear until the 1970s, when the United States cut most of the long-term capital tax rate, so a huge amount of funds flowed into this industry.
By the way, a member of the Rockefeller family has made considerable contributions to the modernization, regularization and scale of venture capital. This person is Lawrence Rockefeller, and he is the elder brother of David Rockefeller who came to California to be responsible for the expansion of the Rockefeller consortium.
In Evan's past life, the birth of Lawrence Rockefeller and Apple, and the birth of Intel was closely related to growth.
Of course, the world will definitely not develop like this again.
Because Evan registered the trademarks of Apple and Intel early on.
This is not to say that he intends to adopt these names. They are simply the product of having fun when he was tired of being tired from heavy paperwork some time ago (to be precise, last year).
Roy was an accounting background, and his basic quality was his serious work. Therefore, although he had some ideas about Evan's temporary work, he still spent a while, looking for information and consulting with others, and finally had some basic concepts of venture capital.
That's why he proposed that special clause in the contract.
Evan also noticed this detail, so he allowed Roy to stay.
"BOSS, I think the preliminary investigation of venture capital is very important. It depends not only on whether the project's ideas have a future, but also on the execution and competitiveness of the group..."
"Visiting more attention than risk-avoiding support like banks, venture capital is more concerned about returns. Only high-yield industries are worthy of our attention. Generally, high-yield investments have long been divided up by the wolf pack on Wall Street, so we may have to focus on those emerging industries..."
"I think the company my boss has recently prepared is quite suitable. Should Yinshan be involved..."
After this conversation, Evan became a little more impressed by Roy. He wondered if Roy would be responsible for Silver Mountain after the audit department was established.
However, this idea was rejected by Evan himself as soon as it arose. Silver Mountain will not be the focus in the next few years, and Roy will only leave people idle in the past.
This is undoubtedly a waste of talent.
"Roy, since you have already started Silver Mountain, you will continue to be responsible. You don't have to hurry to start your business for the time being. First, take the case of Colin as a sample and accumulate some experience."
"You should focus on the preparations of the audit department first."
"As for letting Yinshan participate in Applied Semiconductor... do you not know that the main investors are the alphabet companies?"
At the end of the conversation, Evan quipped: "Or, do you prefer Silver Mountain's work?"
"If that's the case, I can help you."
Roy waved his hands repeatedly. He was not stupid. The head of the audit department of Alphabet Company. The future of this position is not comparable to that of an investment department.
Even if it's named very big.
"Okay... it's getting late, let's stop talking today, you can do it yourself."
Roy stood up and said goodbye.
At this time, Linda walked in and looked at Evan who was cleaning up the table and said, "Evan, are you going to get off work?"
"Yes, you inform Bob and get the car ready."
Linda did not leave immediately, but asked, "Don't I need to accompany her?"
"A banquet for Peter Cohen should be considered official business."
Evan paused his hands and replied, "No, I can go by myself."
"Linda, too, so do you. Don't work overtime every day, otherwise Uncle Sproul will find out and I will be in trouble."
"It's my business whether to work overtime or not, and you can't even care if you are the boss."
Linda choked Evan and then turned around and went out.
Linda was disappointed in a place where Evan couldn't see it.
About half an hour later, Phoenix Restaurant.
In the private room that Evan booked in advance, Peter Cohen and Evan sat opposite each other.
On the gorgeous and complex tabletop, there were two restaurant signature seafood dishes. The restaurant manager personally served as the waiter, holding the opened bottle of red wine, and adding wine to Evan's transparent wine glass.
Phoenix Restaurant and Applied Physics Systems are partners, and they have some understanding of it. It is natural to provide the most advanced service to the legendary young man Evan.
Although Evan didn't want the other party to go through so much trouble, he was not easy to reply.
After pouring red wine on the two cups, the manager stepped aside.
"Come on, Cohen." Evan raised his glass and said, "Let's touch you to treat you."
"Thank you, BOSS." Peter Cohen raised his glass.
The two cups touched gently in the air, and then both of them took a sip.
Peter Cohen is the actual executor of his trip to San Francisco and is the representative of Evan. The pressure on him is so great that ordinary people cannot bear.
You should know that what he is facing directly is a giant consortium that lies across the United States.
If it were someone else, it would be different whether you dare to do it or not, let alone say the word "oppose" directly.
Peter took risks and naturally deserved the corresponding rewards and courtesy.
Although a director of the Bank of America was not worth it, Evan still felt that it was not enough, so he had dinner together today.
On the dining table, Evan was eating delicious food while chatting with Peter. After both of them had almost finished eating, Evan brought up the "genuine dish" tonight.
Evan first politely invited the manager and waiters out, and then said to Peter: "Corn, thank you for your hard work in this trip to San Francisco."
"You, as a director, will probably only be able to serve for one year, but it doesn't matter. Rick should be able to get a seat in a year."
"And I have an idea about where you will go a year later, that is, I don't know if you are interested."
