The Goddess Shines on America

When Ren Zhengfei realized that Alice was the same age as his daughter, a strong sense of intimacy suddenly arose, and James happened to be the same as him and the father of multiple children. For a while, the banquet was full of topics that the two fathers started with their children, and they happened to be in the same age group, and the content they could talk about could cover almost every aspect.

What kind of career achievements Alice has, of course, the father and daughter have tacitly concealed it, and this investment is mainly based on James. But when Ren Zhengfei learned that Alice was studying at Eton College, and what kind of middle school it was, he couldn't hide his shocked and envious expression.

"Actually, I was just lucky. If Eaton hadn't just broken this precedent two years ago, my friends and I would not have had the chance to enter this campus."

Alice also sincerely made suggestions for Ren Zhengfei: "In addition, if your son and daughter are interested, we can also send them to study in the UK. This can also be regarded as part of the investment, but I don't know, their current How is your English level?"

As a result, the topic turned again. As for Alice's proposal, Ren Zhengfei, as a father, really had ten thousand reasons to seriously consider.

"Sending my children to study abroad, I have never considered such a thing. Mr. Wang, you know more about the situation abroad. If you really want to send your children to study abroad... What are the benefits? I mean, what... All the specific benefits?"

"China's economic potential is huge."

After a moment of contemplation, James chose such a topic as a breakthrough: "First of all, in terms of population, because of cheap labor, it will attract companies from all over the world to invest and build factories in China, which gives China a very huge ability to accumulate original capital."

"Then, after all... China's talent advantage is also very strong. It was able to produce the four major inventions, and it stood proudly in the world before 1840. It once accounted for one-third of the world's GDP. How do you say that? It’s coming... After accumulating a lot, after earning a large amount of capital with the advantage of labor force, China’s economic model will definitely quickly change from a low-end processing industry chain to a knowledge-intensive one, ushering in a blowout-like economic growth.”

James continued to explain every sentence proudly and calmly, all of which were analyzed by his own daughter many years ago, and now when he is telling Ren Zhengfei every sentence, there is almost no nonsense at all. The highly dense and huge amount of information bombarded in turn, so that the only listener could do nothing but stare blankly at James, waiting for him to continue talking.

"Of course, this process takes time, and this time is basically just when your children can come in handy. At the same time, for the teaching curriculum arrangement and related teaching experience in the modern mode, British and American Ivy Universities in the alliance are extremely rich in capital. If your children are educated in universities in these two countries, when China welcomes large-scale investment from the Western world and successively carries out various reforms on domestic enterprises, their The experience of studying abroad will definitely make them heroes of current affairs!"

Having said that, James looked deeply at Ren Zhengfei, who had been speechless since the very beginning: "Old Ren, this is a piece of advice I would like to give to my compatriots in my hometown. I don't know what your comprehensive approach to the entire international community is." How sure, but according to the information I have, China’s global labor advantage should have taken effect from 1995 at the latest. In 1995, Lao Ren, that means your sons and daughters should learn well When you return home?"

After saying this, James did not add any more burden to Ren Zhengfei, and took a sip of tea silently.

And the latter fell into deep thought as he wished.

At the same time, Alice obediently handed a note to her father.

"Don't let them study in the US, preferably not in the UK!"

He even writes notes...

James nearly laughed out loud.

The reason is very simple, because Ren Zhengfei's newly established company is Huawei, the world-renowned Fortune 500 company in China.

Throughout Huawei's entire development history, it is almost Cisco's natural opponent.

Just a few years after Cisco was founded, it established a protection measure based on patent wars. However, although this measure was introduced a long time ago, it has never been actually combated for more than ten years.

And in the Chinese market in 2003, it handed over its "first time" to Huawei.

Of course, it is undoubtedly inevitable that an American and a Chinese Internet hardware product company will form competitors in the global field. What Ren Zhengfei and his team did back then was of course completely reasonable, and there is no right or wrong.

But the problem is that now this company is going to be owned by the Alice family, who happens to be the founder of Cisco.

In fact, the current behavior itself is not much different from her shareholding in Microsoft. They are all directly involved in the normal operation of a company with technology or capital. Of course, Alice has done similar actions many times. Whether it is the acquisition of Electronic Arts, or the purchase of Adobe, which has no substantive products, while filming "Alien 2", it is an angel investment. kind of.

But the difference is there after all, isn't it?

If Ren Zhengfei finds out that his investment partner will be a future competitor, Alice can imagine how much capital will be spent on internal friction in the future. After all, even if Ren Zhengfei's character can be guaranteed, the employees of a growing national enterprise may not like her much, a major shareholder who is equal to a competitor, let alone an opponent of the United States. up.

Therefore, not only did the shareholders have to write James' name, but Ren Zhengfei knew that he was the founder of Cisco, and of course it was delayed as late as possible.

Of course, in theory... In fact, it doesn't matter to Alice anyway.

Well, think about it, if Huawei really spends most of its energy internally, such as trying everything to drive itself out of the company... what about the business itself? Who cares?

Anyway, Alice doesn't care, he has Cisco.

Will support Ren Zhengfei's development, nothing more than two factors.

One is that individuals directly enter the domestic market and enjoy an objective amount of dividends. As for how to allocate the market with Cisco after Huawei develops, it is not too late to think about it later.

Second, well, the boss of Cisco is also the boss of Huawei, which is quite interesting to think about.

With these two simple feelings in mind, Alice specially dragged her father to Shenzhen. As for James, of course he has no worries. With his daughter's scientific research ability, it is more than enough for Huawei to "develop".

The dinner continued like this, and as the most direct gain for both parties, James and Ren Zhengfei reached a preliminary verbal commitment. Without interfering with the normal development of the company, James directly "bought" the newly established company with 50,000 US dollars in capital.

Fifty thousand dollars, Alice threw it easily.

But for Ren Zhengfei, it was a huge sum of money.

"Chairman and director are of two natures."

When the somewhat incoherent Ren Zhengfei expressed his doubts, James patiently explained to him: "Under normal circumstances, the chairman is indeed the one with the largest shareholding ratio among all shareholders, but it is not absolute. For some really large For a consortium with a large number of shareholders and an average shareholding ratio, this position is even taken in rotation. The chairman is a title and the legal representative of the company. Although I have a very high shareholding ratio, I am only a shareholder, just a shareholder ,clear?"

"Anyway... I have to thank you!"

A bottle of Erguotou was completely empty. Although he was not completely drunk, Ren Zhengfei's face was completely red. He kept patting James on the shoulder vigorously, and he didn't know whether this dizzy look was due to drinking too much or because of the entire fifty thousand dollars in funds.

"I just... want to make something of myself. Name the company...Huawei... We are also soldiers. The whole world! We are all Chinese, and the Chinese are all one family. Let's make a difference! Don't worry ...with your money, my old man will definitely..."

"Come on, come on, take a rest first, take a good rest first."

Seeing that Ren Zhengfei was already shaking his head, James quickly snatched the last glass of wine from his hand, and then pushed him back when he was about to stagger to his feet.

"No matter what else, let's talk about it tomorrow. Give me your phone number, and I'll let your wife come pick you up, what? Three twenty, five one five, and then? Hello? Hello? Old Ren? Old... …Fell asleep?"

Didn't he fall asleep? There was a burst of snoring.

James raised his head: "Alice, can your dad drink so much?"

While the two smelly old men were chatting about themselves, Alice had been playing with her handbag, and looked at him with disdain at this moment: "You mainly focus on red wine, and he specializes in white wine. Is there any comparison?"

James turned his head to look at the dining table. There was a bottle of Erguotou and a bottle of Great Wall Dry Red.

"Well, there is really no comparison."

James sat back in his seat, looked at Ren Zhengfei snoring on the table, shook his head and said: "It seems that we can only give him a room, and then either wait for him to sober up, or wait for his wife to call. Weiwei ,What time is it now?"

Alice looked at her watch: "BJ time, 20:35; Tokyo time, 21:35, Hawaii time..."

"Dad asked about the time in Shenzhen, baby."

Smiling lightly, he slapped Ren Zhengfei on the head, James stood up and stretched: "But girl, to be honest, this is also the first time your father and I have talked about business alone, look how I behave ?”

Alice's eyes quickly swept between the sleepy Ren Zhengfei and James, who looked forward to his daughter's praise.

"Don't worry, dad, I don't intend to recognize Uncle Roger as my own father. Besides, even if you want to challenge him, please find someone who can challenge him, okay?"

Seeing James' stiff expression for a moment, the stinky girl laughed out loud.
