Chapter 2190 - 2150: Venture Capital Talent

For some reason, Xia Jing felt increasingly uneasy watching Ye Qiu’s expression.

Why must Ye Qiu treat her like that?

Flying back from Las Vegas to San Francisco International Airport only takes about an hour and a half.

Upon returning to San Francisco International Airport, they disembarked from the plane before five in the afternoon local time.

Carrying his things off the plane, as Ye Qiu plans to return to Huaxia in a day or two, he doesn’t plan on visiting Chinatown again.

The only thing left is the matter of the investment in a risk company in Silicon Valley.

Exiting the airport, Ye Qiu found a hotel nearby equivalent to a five-star hotel in the domestic market and decided to check in.

At the front desk, Ye Qiu intended to book two rooms: one for him and Miranda, and one for Xia Jing.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jing directly requested a deluxe suite with a double bed instead.

After handing over the passport for registration and paying the deposit.

With the room card, the hotel’s female staff led them up to the seventeenth floor.

From here, not only could they see the distant San Francisco International Airport, but also the coast.

Upon entering, Ye Qiu intended to contact Robit but was instead called by Mr. Hong.

Over these few days, Mr. Hong seemed to have no issues.

Of course, Mr. Hong not only knew of Ye Qiu’s formidable medical skills but also that he was the grandson of the elder Ye, which showed Mr. Hong that this young man was indeed extraordinary.

"Mr. Hong, is something the matter?"

Mr. Hong’s surname was Zhu, but upon hearing Ye Qiu call him Mr. Hong, he found it amusing.

"Young Master Ye, have you returned home?"

"Not yet, just returned to San Francisco from Las Vegas, and might head back tomorrow or the day after."

"So soon? Come over as a guest tonight."

Mr. Hong warmly invited.

Mr. Hong invited Ye Qiu over again not only because Ye Qiu saved his life but also due to Ye Qiu’s complex connections, leading Mr. Hong to want more interaction with him.

Though Mr. Hong held high status in America, especially in Chinatown, it was nothing compared to those counterparts of Elder Ye in Huaxia.

"Is that so, alright, I may have a matter to trouble you with."

With that, Ye Qiu decided to visit Mr. Hong.

When Mr. Hong attempted to send for Ye Qiu and the others, Ye Qiu preferred to avoid the trouble and just take a taxi.

Descending from the hotel, they took a taxi to Mr. Hong’s suburban villa.

Upon arrival, Mr. Hong was already waiting!

Seeing Ye Qiu arriving with these two beautiful ladies, Mr. Hong somewhat envied Ye Qiu for being young with plenty of time to enjoy life.

Entering the villa’s living room, Mr. Hong remarked, "Young Master Ye, your grandfather truly cares about you."

Grandfather?

Which grandfather?

Wasn’t his grandfather deceased?

"My grandfather is dead."

Ye Qiu directly replied.

Dead?

How could this be?

Indeed, they spoke just yesterday, and Ye Qiu evidently resembled Elder Ye facially.

"What about the one in the Capital City?"

Mr. Hong hesitantly asked.

"No relation there."

Ye Qiu promptly denied.

No relation?

Mr. Hong seemed to grasp something; this young man evidently did not recognize Elder Ye from the Capital City.

What was the reason for this?

He certainly couldn’t comprehend.

While the housekeeper served tea to Ye Qiu and the others, Mr. Hong found the topic awkward and refrained from further inquiries.

"Young Master Ye, didn’t you mention having a matter to trouble me? Then you’ve come to the right person."

"Yes, I plan to establish a venture capital company in Silicon Valley and recruit trustworthy and capable talents."

A venture capital company?

"How much does Young Master Ye intend to invest?"

"The initial phase will be one billion US dollars."

One billion US dollars?

That’s quite substantial!

Currently, many venture companies have funding well below this level.

He didn’t expect Ye Qiu to invest one billion US dollars straight away—it was truly Capital City’s Ye Family style. For ordinary individuals of Ye Qiu’s age, gathering such funds would indeed be challenging.

"Young Master Ye, do you prefer Whites, or Huaxia descendants, or perhaps high-achievers from other countries?"

"Anyone with talent and trustworthiness is acceptable."

"I’ll assist in making contacts, but whether those individuals meet your selection criteria will ultimately be your decision."

Currently, America, as the world’s most developed nation, greatly needs talents.

Moreover, many domestic overseas students and high-achievers remain in America post-study, leading to a significant pool of talents here.

And in San Francisco, which belongs to the San Francisco Bay Area, one of America’s most advanced regions, it’s a hub for talents.

Stanford University, one of the most renowned institutions, is located in San Francisco.

Leveraging Mr. Hong’s network connections, it’s not an overwhelming task to seek talents, and recommending candidates to his major client is advantageous.

While Mr. Hong sought talents for Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, Miranda, and Xia Jing relaxed over tea; Xia Jing couldn’t help but marvel at Ye Qiu’s decision to invest another one billion US dollars.

Clearly, a portion was derived from Ye Qiu’s Las Vegas winnings, now entirely reinvested.

Was it correct to deem Ye Qiu formidable?

Or was it something else?

Xia Jing realized that anyone acquainted with Ye Qiu was undoubtedly impressed, considering no man could surpass him.

Half an hour later, Mr. Hong returned and said, "Young Master Ye, I’ve contacted a batch of talents for you—they’ll arrive tonight."

"Mr. Hong, much appreciated."

"No worries."

Mr. Hong responded.

With dinner time arriving, the plan was to wait for those talents and dine together first.

After dining, Ye Qiu would engage in detailed conversations to discern these individuals’ capabilities.

Beyond the native Whites, America also houses White descendants, Huaxia descendants, Indian descendants, etc.

Except for some African Americans, many talents excel in investment, whereas domestically, similar stars are rarer.

About an hour and a half later, the talents Mr. Hong contacted arrived—they varied in gender and appeared aged between their thirties to forties.

Evidently, these individuals had worked several years within the industry and possessed ample experience.

These professionals could immediately operate efficiently, with no other concerns.

During the meal, Mr. Hong ordered the kitchen to prepare lavish Huaxia cuisine.

Understandably, these individuals knew a young Huaxia boss was recruiting them to manage company affairs, but remained oblivious to the new company’s compensation and conditions.

If favorable compensation aligned with their employment desires, they’d undoubtedly wish to join Ye Qiu’s new company.
