"Few on the PayPal team saw that risk dissipating without a deal between the two companies, though. “Reid had a pithy means of describing the challenge: ‘Just because someone shoots five bullets at you and misses... does not preclude the sixth one from killing you,’ ” Keith Rabois wrote on Quora years later."

"I think it was around 2005 when Reid began frequenting Keigetsu. When I asked Reid if I could send him a connection request, he smiled and said, “Of course.” However, in the end, I left it as-is and never used it."

"kaiseki cuisine, many customers came seeking sushi. On the other hand, Reid always ordered the kaiseki course. His favorite was Table No. 11, located right behind the reception immediately to the right of the entrance. This table was somewhat removed from other seats and had slightly more space. For the well-built Reid, it was a perfect table, and the fact that private conversations were less likely to be overheard might have been another reason he liked it. There is another reason why Reid is considered a “good customer.” With pre-set kaiseki menus, American customers often say “I can’t eat this ingredient” or “Can you substitute this with something else?” However, Reid had no likes or dislikes and always ate everything neatly, saying, “It was delicious.”"
