Chapter 740 Small Case, Big Potential

Smelling the aroma of barbecue in the air, Wu Tao's stomach suddenly growled.

After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, plus half a day of work in the afternoon, he was really hungry at this time, but he felt relaxed all over.

Stepping on the lawn in the backyard, I stretched my waist, walked to the table under the umbrella, sat on the beach chair, and sank my whole body in it, lazily watching the sunset in the sky.

Irvine is a little far from the west coast, and you can't see the full version of the sea and sky, but it also makes people feel a sense of leisurely carefree world and enjoyment.

Molly was in a good mood, and the exaggerated body curves of Western women were vividly reflected in her body.

All the way from the wine cabinet with a dazzling array of drinks, Wu Tao's eyes were always swayed by her graceful body.

What Shi Qianxue said is correct, she does have a bit of Scarlett's charm.

Putting down the tray, Molly sat down, crossed her slender legs and said, "Since you want to see it so much, do you want me to help you call more people to hold a party?"

Wu Tao withdrew his gaze, and couldn't help feeling dizzy when he thought of those messy, naked meetings.

So he waved his hands and said, "NoNoNo, I like quietness."

Not long after, Qin Xiaoxiao and Wu Yingying came over with grilled meat slices and tinfoil trays, and they started chatting while eating.

Wu Tao seemed to be the most hungry. He didn't care to interrupt, and kept stuffing it into his mouth.

On the contrary, the three women had been busy for a long time, and they were worried about getting fat, so they didn't eat much at all.

But the topic became more and more in-depth. Wu Tao listened silently, only to find that the reason why Molly was in a good mood was that she had gained a lot in Russia.

The sharp drop in the ruble has caused the prices of various daily necessities in Russia to soar, which has indeed set off a wave of panic buying.

The money came really fast, and Qin Xiaoxiao and the two were envious when they heard it.

As a financial practitioner, you should be so happy and invincible.

On the other hand, Wu Tao didn't react at all. Looking in Molly's eyes, he said unhappily, "What are you doing back in Los Angeles?"

Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Wu Tao, seeing that he didn't stop him, she said bluntly: "There are several Internet companies' investment and acquisition intentions, so come and have a look."

Molly laughed immediately, "Now the Internet bubble in the United States is about to burst, and various companies that flaunt the name of the Internet have long since lost their popularity. Otherwise, why would our Quantum Fund go all over the world to make troubles?"

Wu Tao didn't speak, and Qin Xiaoxiao and the two didn't think of how to refute.

Molly continued: "I admit that your attempts in the PC game industry are very successful, but that does not mean that this industry has greater potential to be tapped. In fact, in the upper class of the United States, it is generally believed that the touchstone The Internet era has passed. The Internet industry in the future will tend to develop in an orderly and refined way.”

"You're right," Wu Tao spread his hands and said, "But I'm not here to catch the heat, but I want to actually integrate some resources and talents in the Internet industry as a reserve for future development."

"If this is the case, you just need to sit at home and wait for the group of Internet entrepreneurs to come to you." Molly said with a relaxed face: "The current environment is like this, and investors' money is not as easy to cheat as before."

Wu Tao smiled, "AOL spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire oicq, it seems that it's not long ago, right?"

"My grandpa said it was a bad investment." Molly added after taking a sip of whiskey, "I think so too."

It seems that Soros really has two brushes.

Oicq, an instant messaging tool that showed unlimited potential, reached its peak when it was acquired by America Online. After that, it took a turn for the worse, and quickly became a money-losing product in the hands of America Online, so that it was sold again more than ten years later, and even the capital could not be recovered.

One oicq fell, and thousands of other tools emerged, such as MSN, QQ, Facebook...

"By the way, Wu," Molly paused, then asked again: "Where do you think the next wave of growth in the global economy will be?"

Wu Tao smiled and said, "I said this when I was in Bangkok. Don't you believe it now?"

Molly immediately remembered, "You mean Huaxia?" The blue eyes turned quickly, only to realize that many of what Wu Tao said in Bangkok had indeed come true.

"Maybe your Quantum Fund is not interested in the laborious business of investing in the industry. If that's the case, I really have nothing to say."

"That's not necessarily the case." Molly thought about it and said something.

There was no further discussion on this topic after that.

When the sky was full of stars, the three women got a little drunk from drinking, and Wu Tao calmly went back to sleep.

Molly squinted her blue eyes and said, "Qin, is your boss not understanding romance at all? Or, is there no gentleman at all?"

"Then who is the score for!" Qin Xiaoxiao said with emotion.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Tao woke up naturally after falling asleep, and there was already a lot of light outside.

After washing up, I went downstairs, only to see three girls in the gym, each wearing tight sports vests and shorts, looking hot and sweaty.

Can't afford it, can't afford it.

Wu Tao just took a look and walked away decisively.

There wasn't much else to eat in the kitchen except some bread and bacon.

Fortunately, when he first arrived in the United States, Wu Tao had no objection to these western-style breakfasts. So while humming the tune of "For Whom", he made breakfast.

When the breakfast was ready, three hot women, wrapped in sweat towels, came up.

Sitting on the edge of the high kitchen bar, Qin Xiaoxiao ate a sandwich and drank milk and said, "Boss, which one shall we inspect first?"

Wu Tao said without thinking: "Let's talk to Larry and Sergey first."

"That search engine company that only costs $100,000?" Before, Qin Xiaoxiao knew that Wu Tao valued this company, but she didn't expect it to be so important.

A case of 100,000 US dollars is really not worth mentioning for today's Apocalypse Investment.

But Wu Tao actually wanted to come to the door in person to talk to the founder.

This made Molly really surprised, "Wu, I told you, now for venture capital in the Internet industry, you just need to sit at home and wait for them to come to your door."

The two of Qin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but judging from their eye contact, they obviously agreed with Molly's opinion.

Wu Tao did not agree to this, nor did he say much.

But he knew in his heart that although the investment of 100,000 US dollars was a small case, the potential in the future was extremely huge.

What's more, because the amount of investment is not large, it is not difficult for the two founders to get it. In my impression, they got the investment as they wished about a month after the initiation of their business, and started the process of starting a garage business.

What's more, whether I can be accepted by the two founders as a Chinese is still unknown.

There are many things that cannot be achieved by simply throwing money at them.
