The Goddess Shines on America

　　 When Dad hung up the phone, Alice had already put on a dress that suits her best.

　　 "Hello, sir, it's an honor to see you."

　　 Entering the private room of the hotel restaurant, Ren Zhengfei immediately walked to the most conspicuous middle-aged man in the house: "I wonder how long have you been in China?"

　　 "Sit down first, let's sit down and talk later."

　　 James shook hands with him briefly, pulled a chair away, and then raised his hand to Alice who had just stood up: "This is my daughter Alice, Alice, this is Uncle Ren."

　　 "Hello, uncle."

　　 Simple and neat jeans, orange pullover with plush balls, and pockets with Winnie the Pooh printed on them are still on the dining table. With a sweet smile, Alice waved to Ren Zhengfei simply and effortlessly.

　　 "Oh, hello boy."

The appearance of 　　 family members undoubtedly reduced Ren Zhengfei's doubts a lot. And seeing his gentle expression, quite concealed, Alice blinked at her father.

　　 "Then, please allow me to introduce myself."

　　 Immediately, James took out his business card: "My name is James King. I live in Los Angeles, California. I am a director of Oscar & Hannah International Clothing Co., Ltd. Have you heard of this company?"

　　Ren Zhengfei took the business card and raised his voice a lot: "Oscar & Hannah!? I really know this company, sell clothes, right, there are many stores in Guangzhou, this company is yours?"

　　 "It's just a director."

　　 James smiled humbly. As for Alice, of course, the bright smile can be interpreted countless meanings.

Then came a little routine, a simple greeting, and the waiter served snacks as appetizers. During this period, James briefly introduced the business of "Oscar & Hannah" in China, and further explained his situation to Ren Zhengfei. .

　　 "Of course, these were investments made two years ago, and now is the time when the fruits are initially normal."

Speaking proficient Chinese, he also drank a glass of white wine. When a plate of Mushu meat was served as a dish, James changed the topic: "So when I came to China again this year, I set my sights on the south, and when I came to Shenzhen, I visited Nanhai Petroleum Company by the way. Mr. Ren, I heard that you plan to start a switchboard business. I have to say that your vision is really outstanding."

Seeing what Ren Zhengfei wanted to say, James immediately raised his tone: "The history of the entire Internet hardware industry is about three years, so I believe that looking at the entire Shenzhen, there will not be too many entrepreneurs who are planning to engage in this industry. As for. Speaking of the whole country, if Shenzhen can't make up the number of one hand, there won't be many across the country."

"So Mr. Ren, no matter what you think, when you decide to take this industry as your own business, congratulations, you have become one of the pioneers of this industry in China. In other words, if you are not a mediocre In today’s environment, you are a worthy investment."

　　 Faced with this sentence after another, Ren Zhengfei couldn't think of a second response besides a wry smile on his face. In front of him, the third dish was already on the table, but apart from the "Alice" who couldn't help but grabbed a chopstick, the other two diners, at least he didn't even have any thoughts to eat.

　　 "Maybe the situation is as great as you said."

After a long silence, he said: "But Mr. Wang, don’t look at my age as you are, but in the past ten years, I’m just an engineer. I don’t really understand business matters. If you really want to invest, ... I first ask, what you said before... angel investment, what's the matter?"

James let out a laugh, took a sip of his drink and said, "I can also guess that you will ask this question. The so-called angel investment is a type of venture capital. As for what is called venture capital, in fact... it is called venture capital. It's more appropriate."

Looking at Ren Zhengfei’s modest hands and feet, James also bluntly showed off the basic common sense he learned from Roger Lawrence: “Venture investment in a broad sense refers to all investments with high risks and high potential returns, but in a narrow sense. Venture capital refers to production and operation based on high and new technology

Investment in technology-intensive products. The investment I am planning to make for you is in this narrow sense. The vast majority of companies in the entire Silicon Valley of California are based on this kind of investment. "

"It seems that China does not yet have this kind of business method. After all, your reforms have just begun. But for European and American countries that have implemented market economies for hundreds of years, a large number of new companies are established every day, and those founders When I first started a company, I needed a lot of start-up capital. That's how the so-called venture capital comes from."

"Obviously, there are many types of venture capital. After all, this is also an entire industry. There are countless people on Wall Street and Silicon Valley who are engaged in it. They are employed by professional venture capital firms and are looking for new ventures suitable for investment everywhere to provide Acquire part of the shares on the condition of starting capital, and appropriately intervene in the business operation according to the actual situation. Until the company is fully developed, it is usually the case that after the listing, the venture capital company will withdraw the capital and obtain huge profits. The whole process."

"But this is the behavior of venture capital companies. There is also a much lower investment condition. In industry terms, it is angel investment. The concept is very simple. It’s just a rich man with spare money. Investing in capital because he’s optimistic about the entrepreneur’s company allows entrepreneurs to give away charcoal when they are short of money and food, and wait for the company to enjoy dividends after the company’s exhibition."

　　 "So Mr. Ren, our current situation is that I think your company has great potential, so I want to invest in shares by providing you with initial capital. I just don't know if you are interested in accepting a shareholder like me."

　　 A long post, and it was only after the table full of dishes was finally prepared. At this time, James looked at Ren Zhengfei with a smile, and Ren Zhengfei sat quietly in a contemplative manner, while wearing a cute Alice, he could not help eating a small bowl of rice.

　　 The other party's words and the whole process are reasonable, and Ren Zhengfei knows it. Just before going to the banquet in the afternoon, he had already called the old company. The leader did mention a Chinese-American businessman, saying that he had visited the company a few days ago. Knowing your own situation through this channel, and then raising the idea of ​​what angel investment is, for this businessman, it really won't be a difficult task, and the whole process is completely fine.

　　 So, the current situation is really just like what James said, is he willing to accept the other party’s investment?

　　 Seeing that Ren Zhengfei didn't have an idea in a short time, James broke the silence immediately: "Come, don't patronize, eat first."

　　 "Yes, yes, let's eat first, let's eat first, the little girl is already hungry, right? Is this to accompany my father back to China to play?"

　　 Of course, Ren Zhengfei had noticed Alice a long time ago. The little girl is neither too old nor too young, just about the same age as his own daughter. It can be said that the reason why he is willing to listen to the long talk of King James is that it is because of the girl's presence.

　　 "Well, I also came back the year before, but I went to Shanghai. I haven't been to Guangdong yet."

　　 Alice unceremoniously gave herself a piece of fish belly meat: "Oh, it's delicious! Uncle, I can tell you that you can never eat such authentic Chinese food in the United States. It is all localized!"

　　 "Oh, isn't it? What about Americanized Chinese food?"

The father and daughter were happy when they heard this. James kept shaking his head, while Alice wrinkled her nose, as if sniffing the smell: "Well...I'll just give you the name of the dish, Coke chicken wings. how do you feel?"

　　 "Coke...chicken wings!?"

　　 Ren Zhengfei was really taken aback: "They can be matched together too!?"

　　 "Actually, it's quite delicious in terms of taste, but it's totally different from Chinese food, right?"

　　 It is true, it is true. Ren Zhengfei is an eye-opener. He has drunk Coke, but using Coke as an ingredient for wings is really not what traditional Chinese cuisine can do.

"of course!"

　　 After hearing Ren Zhengfei’s sigh of emotion, Alice chuckled: "Coke was discovered by an American more than a hundred years ago. How could it be an ingredient in Chinese cuisine?"

　　 "By the way~www.readwn.com~ Actually my daughter is about the same age as you."

　　 After two or three sentences, Ren Zhengfei became more interested in Alice: "Alice, what year were you born in and how old are you now?"

　　 Alice looked at him interestingly: "In 1972, I have just turned fifteen this year."

　　 "Same age as my daughter!?"

Ren Zhengfei was really surprised, and immediately brought a dish to Alice: "My mother-in-law, ancestor, my daughter Xiaozhou was also born this year! Come on, hurry up and eat more, are you hungry today? Running around with Dad?"

　　 "Hey, my dad didn't abuse me."

　　 happily took the bowls of several dishes, and Alice deliberately pouted her mouth again and stared her eyes: "I just have a big appetite!"

　　 turned, and coughed again: "Ah, of course, you won't gain weight no matter how you eat, don't worry about that."

A few words filled the box with cheerful laughter, and Ren Zhengfei was laughing, and then asked James for confirmation: "Your daughter was really born in 1972? Our daughter is also, and I also have a son, where is your family?"

　　 "The two daughters, with a son in between, are...very shocked in character."

　　 is another simple sentence, coupled with humorous words, made Ren Zhengfei laugh again. To be continued.
