Chapter 632 Children and grandchildren have their own blessings
The day after the talks with Wang'an Computer Company collapsed, Li Ye and others began to act separately.
Luo Runbo contacted those unknown small manufacturers to discuss the possibility of establishing a joint venture or OEM factory in Hong Kong Island.
Pei Wencong took Li Ye, Wen Leyu, Fu Yiruo and others to visit Mr. Witjeff.
Jeff lives in a small town in the suburbs of New York, away from the hustle and bustle of urban steel and concrete. It is not only very quiet, but also has very good air and scenery.
When Li Ye and others arrived in the town, they saw Jeff with his wife and three children waiting at the door of his villa from afar.
Wen Leyu saw through the car window that the five of Jeff's family were wearing brand new clothes and were neatly arranged, so he said to Li Ye: "Mr. Jeff seems to attach great importance to us!"
Li Ye nodded silently and whispered: "Because we have changed his life, the Lighthouse people generally pay attention to interests, but they may not be unable to be grateful."
Before Jeff met Pei Wencong and Li Ye, he was an auto mechanic. Although Li Ye didn't understand why a Stanford history graduate was engaged in the auto repair industry, his life at that time was undoubtedly a bit embarrassing.
Because after reading the conditions proposed by Pei Wencong, Jeff only confirmed that he had "only make money but not lose money", he did not bargain and signed the contract without hesitation, which led to Li Ye wondering whether he was a lighthouse man.
And after signing the contract, Jeff immediately asked Pei Wencong to send a car to Hong Kong Island Airport and fly back to the lighthouse overnight.
Seeing his hurrying look, Li Ye felt that in addition to being afraid of delaying the auto repair work of the Lighthouse, he seemed to have to save all the accommodation fees, taxi fees, and meal fees.
But now Jeff is a middle class who has two million royalties, and in order to write with peace of mind, he has moved from a crowded urban nest to his favorite countryside.
You should know that the cost of settling in the suburbs is not necessarily lower than that in the city!
Wen Leyu nodded slowly because Li Ye gave her detailed information about Jeff. It can be said that it was Li Ye, which changed the life of Jeff's family.
And my sister Fu Yiruo leaned over and asked admiringly: "Brother, how many people's fate has you changed?"
Wen Leyu also looked at Li Ye quietly.
Li Ye changed Jeff's fate, Fu Yiruo's fate, and also changed her Wenleyu's fate.
Li Ye said calmly: "Goodness is always mutual. If you change others, it is equivalent to changing yourself. It's like you have to like someone first so that others will like you!"
"Oh~"
Fu Yiruo turned his head and looked at Wen Leyu, and laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, is my brother talking to you? Why did he like you first?"
Wen Leyu was both angry and funny, and he reached out and pulled Fu Yiruo's little head apart.
She clearly liked Li Ye first, right? She was an honest girl.
But after Fu Yiruo was pulled apart, she was unyielding and squeezed her head back again, and she must make Wen Leyu blush and be red.
She has known Wen Leyu for almost two years and knows very well that although her sister-in-law is rational, calm and decisive,
But if it involves the relationship with Li Ye, it is a "thin-skinned" little girl with a tender face, which is very fun to make.
But this time Wen Leyu said first: "Don't ask randomly if you don't understand. In addition, if a boy talks to you in the future, report it honestly immediately. You can't make decisions on your own, otherwise I will call Aunt Fu."
Fu Yiruo's little mouth immediately opened into an O-shaped shape, as if he had seen the second "stern mother".
Li Ye couldn't help but smile.
Do you really think Xiaoyu is easy to mess with? Look, you’re so anxious!
.........
"Welcome Mr. Pei, on behalf of my family and I, I would like to thank you all for your visit. This is my wife Ilia, this is my eldest son Hunter, and this is my second daughter Alaika."
As soon as Pei Wencong got off the car, Jeff warmly expressed his welcome and introduced his family to Pei Wencong, Li Ye and others.
In fact, Jeff knew that Pei Wencong was coming, and his original intention was to take the initiative to visit Pei Wencong, but Pei Wencong refused and expressed that he hoped to spend a pleasant weekend at Jeff's house.
So Jeff quickly began to prepare and treated the reception as a big event.
"Mr. Jeff, don't be polite. Actually, we disturbed me. This is my friend, Mr. Li. This is Miss Fu and Miss Wen."
Pei Wencong smiled and greeted him, and then gave him a gift that was both light and heavy.
Li Ye, Fu Yiruo and Wen Leyu also gave Jeff's child a gift.
Jeff's wife and children were very happy, and Jeff looked at Li Ye and recalled carefully, and then suddenly remembered that when he signed the contract in Hong Kong Island, Li Ye was sitting on the sofa in the office.
Jeff didn't care much at that time, but now Li Ye followed Pei Wencong across thousands of miles and came to the lighthouse to meet him. Then Li Ye wouldn't he be the original author of "Song of Ice and Fire"?
So Jeff quickly shook hands with Li Ye: "Long time no see, Mr. Li, welcome your arrival."
Li Ye was quite surprised. Didn’t it be said that Lighthouse people look like East Asians? Why did Jeff recognize him only once two or three years ago?
...........
Jeff prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain Li Ye and others. Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
However, when Pei Wencong talked about a topic, Li Ye found that Jeff's face changed and obviously something strange.
"We came to the Lighthouse this time, and we wanted to invest in some high-tech companies. Mr. Jeff should know that this kind of venture capital is very common among those lighthouses,"
?????????????????????????
"But when we seek cooperation, we are always subject to some undeniable resistance due to differences in culture and beliefs, so we hope to seek a partner from a lighthouse."
Because Pei Wencong knew that Mr. Witjeff was a relatively honest person, Pei Wencong did not hide it and just invited Jeff, and expressed his vague reasons for inviting Jeff.
"Due to cultural and belief differences," it is actually because of the difference in skin color. The resistance that "should not be" is actually unfriendly discrimination.
Venture capital, unlike foreign exchange speculation and stock speculation, which make quick money, you can ignore your identity and trade casually, buy low and sell high and leave. At least you have to have a formal company and have a bit of fame in the industry.
For example, Li Ye fell in love with a small technology company and then came to the door and said directly, "I am a rich man from a mysterious country in the East. I am very optimistic about you, please offer a price."
People might think that Li Ye is a liar.
What if the person who comes to Sequoia Capital? Then they will take it seriously and report their true requirements.
Let’s talk about this contact with Wang’an Computer Company. Pei Wencong first contacted Mr. Wang’an, who is also a Chinese, through the relationship between the Chinese rich circle in Hong Kong. After many tests and exchanges, he reached the final stage. The process was very cumbersome and consumed a lot of Pei Wencong’s efforts.
So Wang Lie's sudden change of mind made Li Ye and others so angry.
But if a relatively well-known company in the industry talks with Wang Lie, this will definitely not happen.
Therefore, after discussing with Pei Wencong, there can be many funding channels for injecting and out of the lighthouse, but in the lighthouse, there must be a venture capital company and a reliable partner.
Jeff is a good candidate, especially as a Stanford University graduate. Although he is a history graduate, he has more convenient connections when he arrives in Silicon Valley.
After hearing Pei Wencong's words, Jeff nodded silently, said nothing, just had a depressed meal.
Pei Wencong was a little surprised.
According to normal circumstances, he had already extended an olive branch, so Jeff should climb up the pole and talk to Pei Wencong about questions like "How many shares do I own? How much can I earn? How much risk do I take?"
But why does Jeff’s performance seem to be unable to get along with money now?
Or am I just saying it implicitly and not saying it clearly enough?
Pei Wencong thought about it for a while and had to say bluntly: "Mr. Jeff, are you interested in being our partner?"
Jeff shook his head: "Mr. Pei, thank you for your trust and kindness, but I am very satisfied with my current life, so I don't want to make any changes."
""
There is no way to talk about this. Is it not a business to go on, but I can still beg you and me to make a fortune?
But Pei Wencong felt a little depressed. This time, when he came to the Lighthouse, he was disappointed in two consecutive events. How could he not disappoint people?
So at the next dining table, Pei Wencong brought the topic to Jeff's three children.
According to the tradition of the flower planting family, if you have so many children, you have to make more money to make them live a better life, right?
Although the two million US dollars of royalties are quite large, it is not much to be distributed to each child!
But Jeff's wife interrupted with a smile: "Mr. Pei, in fact, we lighthouse people are different from you oriental people. The future of children needs to be controlled by themselves, and their lives can only be decided by themselves."
Isn’t this the “children and grandchildren have their own blessings” in the East?
“Ha~”
Li Ye laughed silently.
In the last life, Li Ye's boss's nephew married a lighthouse girl, which made their whole family unhappy, so Li Ye's boss made the oath of "beating to death and not making a family with the lighthouse people."
Because the woman's parents are almost sixty years old, they don't have their own house, they don't have a penny to save, and their daughter doesn't have a penny dowry for her marriage.
But the problem is that this bird looks like. The woman's parents drive around and travel around all day long, don't work hard, and even owe a credit card to the bank.
It was like showing off to my son-in-law and family: "Look at how free I have lived in my life. Why do you idiots foolishly press the suffering that your children should suffer on your head?"
When Li Ye’s boss told this, Li Ye’s colleagues were divided into two factions.
Some people say that the parenting habits of people in the Lighthouse are superior, and young people should rely on themselves. Get out of the house after the age of 18 and don’t come back to rely on their parents.
However, the opposition believes that if any traditional habit can be passed down for thousands of years, then there must be a reason.
The tradition of the flower planting family is that the whole family gathers the strength of three generations and tries its best to support the new generation of successors, hoping that each generation will be stronger than the next, rather than relying on their descendants to be amazing and brilliant, breaking the vicious cycle of poverty and poverty for generations.
The two groups of people quarreled and could not convince anyone, but in the end Li Ye's boss said something quietly.
"If your family always has their own blessings, then there will be no children or grandchildren in a few generations."
The tradition of the flower planting family actually forces every generation to work hard, and no one is allowed to be lazy, and strive to pass on the blood of the family and hope.
And the current idea of the Jeff family is not the style of all the lighthouse people. After all, those rich people don’t do this.
That old man has been donating all his property all day long. How many years have you been? Don’t you want to go back on your word when you are old?
It wasn't enough, just when the dinner was about to end, Li Ye realized that he had misunderstood Jeff again.
Chapter completed!
