Sail across the sea

Chapter 244
"Are you a foreigner?"

"Yeah, I'm just a crooked nut."

"Then how can you speak Chinese?"

"Because I am a good friend of the Chinese people."

"Oh, what's your name then?"

"My name is Curious Baby."

"Curious baby, hee hee hee, you are an adult, why are you called baby?"

"Because I'm a crooked nut, that's what a crooked nut is..."

In the hard-seat car, only a six-year-old child was left chatting with Bob.It is true that everyone likes to watch foreign guests, and chatting with foreign guests also has a novel feeling.But this kind of thing, it's nothing more than trying something new, who wants to chat with a foreign speaker endlessly?

Most people who travel by train in this era belong to the system, and they often have a little status.Everyone knows some foreign affairs disciplines. It is not appropriate to speak lightly or seriously when chatting with foreign guests. If you say something wrong, it may cause trouble.That being the case, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to get together and play cards?Why do you have to join in the fun?

The little boy who was chatting with Bob was also called away by his parents. Bob watched the child leave reluctantly, and the reluctance in his eyes was no less than that of the child.

"Come on, Bob, you can save face for the Harvard students too."

Gao Fan couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and teased.

"What shame?" Bob was puzzled.

"You say you are an elite anyway, right? The car is full of people, and you can chat with a child for half an hour. Those who know say you are learning Chinese, but those who don't know think you ran out of some hospital."

"Gao, do you mean that you don't swear at people?"

"..."

Gao Fan's head is full of black lines, this guy's learning ability is really strong, he even learned this common saying.

"Bob, you didn't minor in Chinese at Harvard, did you? I really don't believe that you learned all this Chinese after you came to China." Gao Fan asked tentatively.

I am evil enough, this Bob is even more evil than myself.Could it be that Bob is a Chinese who traveled to the United States by mistake?

"I can speak seven languages, and Chinese is the eighth I have learned, and I only started learning it a week ago." Bob said proudly.

"Well, it seems that being a rich second generation is not easy." Gao Fan sighed.

Bob didn't care about Gao Fan's complaints, but changed the subject and asked, "Gao, we are now partners. In the vitamin company we are about to establish, what position do you plan to give me?"

"Position?" Gao Fan was taken aback, and asked back, "What position do you want?"

"It's best to be the company's CEO, of course, but I guess you'll keep this position for yourself, so I'll be the company's CAO."

"CAO? Are you sure you're not cursing?"

"Why scolding?"

"Oh, it's all right." Gao Fan was relieved, it seems that this guy is not a time traveler, at least not a time traveler from China, otherwise he would understand the stalk.He waved his hand and said, "The position of chief administrative officer is not suitable for you. The daily management of the company involves any internal coordination work. You are not familiar with the situation in China and cannot do such work."

"So, what about the CFO?"

"The financial officer is not suitable for you, are you willing to take a few cashiers to keep accounts every day?"

"Then what do you think I can be?"

"Otherwise..., you can be Xi Ou, CSO, translated into Chinese, it is called the Chief Officer, which is equivalent to a minister regardless of the government."

Next, Gao Fan had to explain to Bob what "regardless of the minister" is, roughly the kind of person who can get involved in everything but has no specific responsibilities.

When he was in Yangcheng, Bob had several exchanges with Gao Fan. Gao Fan roughly understood Bob’s motivation for cooperating with him. The situation in emerging markets.

Most people in the American business and political circles do not pay special attention to China's development.In their view, China's reform and opening up only means that it has shifted from the Eastern European model to the Latin American model.A market-oriented China will be a big Brazil in the future.

Such an emerging market with a population of 10 billion certainly has some value, but it is only some value. They do not think that China can develop to the level of Europe and Japan.

Bob is one of the few people in the United States who has paid a lot of attention to China, or more precisely, the Hatch family that Bob belongs to is one of the few business families in the United States that pays special attention to China.On the one hand, Bob came to China out of his own sensitivity as a business school elite, and on the other hand, with the entrustment of his family, looking for investment opportunities.

The investment in Canghua Technology and Trade is only a fraction of the investment that the Hatch family expects to make in China.

For the Hutch family, let alone an investment of 150 million US dollars is nothing, even 150 billion US dollars can be raised.

Investing in this kind of thing involves not only funds, but more importantly, opportunities.If the Hatch family believes that China has investment value, then most of the capital, talents and other resources will be transferred to China, which means giving up opportunities in other markets.

It is precisely because of this that the Hatch family sent several groups of people to China to learn about China's real situation and evaluate China's development potential.

Bob is one of these groups of people.

Gao Fan didn't mind the ambition of the Hatch family.If the Hatch family really wants to invest in China, China also welcomes it.

The earth is big enough to accommodate the two great powers of China and the United States.Especially now, China is in a period of extreme shortage of funds. It is very difficult for Gao Fan to borrow 200 million from the bank. Hatch Group is willing to invest. Why does Gao Fan refuse?

Since Gao Fan regards the Hatch Group as a partner, there is no need for Gao Fan to restrict Bob's activities in the company.Of course, he would not let Bob touch the part that involved the company's core secrets.

Bob is a talented student from Harvard and the heir of a business family. Both his vision and experience are far superior to today's domestic entrepreneurs. Letting him participate in some of the company's business activities will also help the company adapt to international business faster Rules, which are beneficial and harmless to the company.

As for whether Bob will have the idea of ​​stealing from a teacher and copying the successful experience of Canghua Technology and Trade to the United States, so as to cultivate a competitor for Canghua Technology and Trade, don’t be ridiculous, how could they take Does Canghua Technology and Trade pay attention to this small business?
With this in mind, Gao Fan graciously appointed Bob a position in Ximoou, allowing him to hang around in the company.
