After finishing the video conference, Su Yehao sat in front of the computer and dozed off. After waiting patiently for a while, he finally got the email from Larry Page.
The other party just mentioned that Pete Brito, one of the former founders of Paypal, has a crazy business plan.
Even from Larry Page's perspective, it's crazy, so it's probably a bit interesting.
After all, this guy has been the CEO of Google for so long. If he is willing to sell Google shares, he is worth one to two hundred million US dollars. He has been exposed to all kinds of entrepreneurial projects, and his vision is probably not too bad.
After all, it was not his mother tongue, and it involved a lot of professional vocabulary. Su Yehao looked up some words before he could fully understand the email. Even he was stunned.
in short.
After Paypal was acquired by the Kaomoji Group last year, Pete Brito, who had worked with Elon Musk, received approximately US$9 million to try to start a second business.
At the beginning of the year, several super coders who graduated from the Computer Science Department of Stanford University were organized by Pete Brito, who had left Paypal, and opened a small studio-type company.
After the 11.10 incident last year, conflicts arose between security and personal privacy. Peter Brito hoped to solve this problem through technical means and developed a product model that utilizes data analysis. After inputting massive amounts of public information, he used
The computer builds a character relationship model and finally locks in a bunch of suspicious characters.
The most amazing thing is that these suspicious targets are roughly consistent with the targets that CIA and FBI have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find. Therefore, CIA intends to place an order to outsource the integrated information retrieval and data analysis business to Pete Brito.
team.
It's a pity that they don't have enough strength at the moment. They need to strengthen their team and obtain more funds before they can get this order.
In other words, this studio has only been started for half a year and has already found a big customer.
But Larry Page also mentioned in the email that although he thinks the products produced by Pete Brito's team are very innovative, you must be careful when cooperating with these organizations. Once the line is crossed, it will easily arouse the anger of netizens.
.
Of course, Su Yehao is very aware of the importance of protecting personal privacy. Large Internet companies in Silicon Valley have held private salon-style meetings for this purpose. Under pressure, they had to make certain compromises and only promised to provide users' public information and data.
Fortunately, the separation between products such as tat and tvt, Google and tot has been clear from the beginning, otherwise even the mainland Internet business may be affected.
Putting aside those messy troubles for the moment, just looking at the company's entrepreneurial goals, isn't it just big data in Su Yehao's eyes?
It’s no wonder that Larry Page is concerned. A product like this that can integrate huge amounts of information and data and perform analysis and processing is a relatively new concept. It can be used not only by PayPal, but also by Google’s search and advertising business, and Mainland China’s Credit Bank.
Tot and other products can also be used.
As for the above outsourcing orders, Su Yehao doesn't think highly of them. If there is a chance to directly win over Peter Brito and his team, it is very likely to bring Google's development to a new level and strengthen the user experience of Paypal and Credit Bao.
Security in the field of fraud prevention.
If you have the opportunity to develop alone, I believe that the other party is unlikely to like to be abused and hide in the shadows to cooperate with those institutions. The importance of big data goes far beyond just finding people.
Even if Su Yehao doesn't understand much, he can still think of many wonderful uses. In addition to serving Internet companies and providing personalized services, there are also anti-money laundering, tax evasion arrests, data collection, etc. They are only used to help the CIA arrest people, which is overkill.
Faced with such an investment project, how could Su Yehao not be moved? He immediately replied to the email and said that he would ask Koko Venture Capital to communicate with Peter Brito. Then he sent an email to Lin Youfeng, the head of Silicon Valley of Koko Venture Capital, asking him to
Get as much equity as possible...

Wake up from sleep.
Taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning, I took Jiang Yu and the others for a walk in their yard.
This villa was designed with great care. Nearly 200 million yuan was invested in it. The trees and flowers in the yard were carefully selected from all over the country. There are eight hundred-year-old osmanthus trees, and there are also ancient camellia trees.
, podocarpus, etc., they are all exquisite.
Nangong Tian heard noise coming from far away and asked curiously: "Is construction going to start nearby? Why did it start making noise so early in the morning?"
Su Yehao replied calmly: "Maybe Vera's house is being renovated. Yesterday I stood on the attic of Lingxiaotai and found that it was almost completed. It directly borrowed the style of my villa and saved a lot of trouble. But she only had
A small yard.”
"...Vera Andrade?"
With a suspicious look in his eyes, Nangong Tian joked: "Oh, it turns out that you are still evil-minded and trying every means to let people live next door. This way, Brother Hao, you can be the first to win the first prize, right? After all, men still like the new and dislike the old. I have seen through it."
"At that time, I asked her to paint. She liked the environment here, so I used the land to offset the cost of inviting her to create. Didn't I tell you that the house is almost completed now, so you are settling old scores, isn't it a bit late?"
"...Hmph, you actually killed me for Vera."
"???"
Seeing her smiling, Su Yehao knew that she was teasing him, and said speechlessly: "Heaven and earth conscience, I really have nothing to do with her. There were still people who were evil-minded and wanted to go on a blind date with me before, but recently they have become insulated."
After hearing this, Jiang Yu looked over, rolled his eyes and said, "Why is it that no one is asking you for a blind date? You don't know why? You've almost made a mahjong table, and you still want to become a basketball team or a football team?"
Thinking that he had already put together a table of mahjong, Su Yehao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth:
"You ganged up to bully me again. I'm afraid of you. I'll go to Dr. Lin Baojian later and make an appointment with someone to deliver the painting. You guys can help keep an eye on it. I bought it for 10 million. Remember
check carefully."
This oil painting has no name, so it is called "29·09·64", named after the date. It was created in 1964. It is more than two meters high and three meters wide. It is planned to be hung in the corridor outside the bedroom.
Su Yehao went out first after cleaning up.
Go through customs by car and head to Gangcheng North District Semiconductor Industrial Park.
Lin Baojian and his team have a research institute located in the North District Semiconductor Industrial Park, next to the Fanling Course of the Hong Kong City Golf Club.
Although Canon was short-sighted and chose to withdraw its researchers, it actually did not delay the research and development plan too much, and ASML was directly replaced.
Although ASML's current technology is not as good as Japan's Canon's lithography machines, because Japan's Nikon and Canon have launched 157 nanometer lithography machines and further dominate the market, ASML has no choice but to take Su Yehao's team
As a life-saving straw, we can only do our best to support it, both with money and effort.
In addition, it is not subject to European and American restrictions and can cooperate with top universities and scientific research institutions. The research and development progress is faster than before, and the speed of burning money is also accelerated.
At present, Lin Baojian's team is still independent of ASML and is controlled by Su Yehao. He also holds about 37% of ASML's equity. The foundation of cooperation is stronger than Canon.
