Xiao Qi is very familiar with American living habits. Anyone who is fat must like to eat meat.
So I took Hoffman directly to the best roast duck restaurant and let him try the best roast duck.
As expected, Hoffman devoured the meal, drinking red wine and eating the rolls made by the waitress next to him. He felt like an emperor enjoying a banquet!
"Oh... Qi Shao, the duck rolled in dough tastes so good... And this one, what is it called? Sweet noodle sauce? Shredded cucumber?... Pretty lady, please give me two more! Thank you! No green onions! Give me more duck too.
I’ll have a plate!”
This unusual title was learned by Hoffman from Tong Wencong. Although the accent is a bit strange, once you become familiar with it, it becomes smoother.
Hoffman and Xiao Qi were the only ones eating, but there were already seven plates of duck on the table. Xiao Qi ate five plates by himself, while Hoffman only ate two.
It was because of Xiao Qi's martial arts practice that he consumed a lot of energy due to his internal energy recuperation, so he could naturally eat it.
Hoffman was already stimulated. He thought to himself that my figure alone can compare with the two of you. I am also an American who eats meat very much. How could I give you too many books?
So after eating with open stomachs, the final result was that Xiao Qi ate seven plates and Hoffmann ate four. No matter how much he could eat on weekdays, he almost couldn't walk in the end.
In order to digest his food, Hoffman drank strong black tea and walked on the street.
It was not that cold in the capital in October, but the girls who liked to show off themselves were still dressed very fashionably, and many of them made Hoffman whistle and say hello with laughter.
All right.
The "King of Silicon Valley Connections" is also a layman. After drinking a little wine, the free and unrestrained side of his natural personality comes out. It is normal for him to talk a lot.
It's a pity that none of those girls are knowledgeable.
Seeing that Hoffman was only wearing a plaid shirt and vest, and an ordinary pair of jeans, and he was so fat and slovenly. His smile was so obscene, I thought he was a foreign farmer who came to China to make a living.
, I don’t even know whether he is a billionaire or a US dollar person.
However, Xiao Qi next to him made many girls take a second look, because the boy's clothes were chosen by Feng Kexin and Qiao Guoer, and they were all top-notch brands. In addition, Xiao Qi was already good-looking.
Delicate and handsome, people will naturally think that he has extraordinary bearing. He has the air of a youthful and sunny boy.
Hoffman didn't care so much, he was just asking for fun, he didn't really want to pick up girls.
In fact, in the eyes of Europeans, Asian women are all the same - they are basically very ugly, and they are basically not attracted to them.
In the past, Europeans and Americans were often called "ghosts", "Rakshasa ghosts", etc. in our country. In fact, they are just different differences between the two races. But now we think blond and blue-eyed beauties are beautiful, but they are
I find Chinese women with flat faces and snub noses ugly.
Just like that, we walked all the way back to the hotel we had booked. Hoffman went into the room to pack his luggage and took a shower. Then he sat in the slightly quieter coffee shop lively again.
"Qi Shao, you didn't ask me to come here just for food, drink and fun. We are acquaintances, so just get straight to the point so I don't have to guess." Hoffman said with a twinkle in his eye.
"Can I listen first? What do you think I want to do with you?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.
"There are only two possibilities. The first is that you want me to help you run the Fairy Laboratory, but this is unlikely. The second is that you have taken a fancy to another Silicon Valley technology company and want me to help you connect.
, help you buy it." Hoffman drank coffee and said slowly: "The possibility of the second one is not small, and I think the company you want to acquire is not small, otherwise you wouldn't call it a serious matter.
I came to China to negotiate."
Regarding the fact that Xiao Qi did not go to the United States but asked Hoffman to come to China to discuss something, he had nothing to complain about.
Anyway, Hoffman has now left the position of CEO of LinkedIn and still has relatively free time. It is also a good pastime to come to China to have some fun and relax.
Moreover, Hoffman was very interested in what Xiao Qi wanted to talk to him about.
Hoffman's interest is investment. If he is interested in the business that Xiao Qi wants to discuss, he would like to cooperate with Xiao Qi - since Xiao Qi asked him to come, then there must be something useful for him, and it seems that he is
It is the best consideration to use him, so with this, he can not receive any remuneration, but if it is really interesting, then he will also want to participate in it.
After all, there are very few people who can get involved in the business of the world's richest man, especially the business of a cautious and stingy Oriental like Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi nodded and smiled, "Your guess is half right. It's true that I want you to make a match, but it doesn't mean I want to buy it."
With that said, Xiao Qi handed a stack of documents lying next to him to Hoffman, "These are some patent ideas I registered in the past two years. Take a look at what we have to do to make them better."
!”
Hoffman suddenly became interested and took the folder and read it carefully.
Although he is as fat as a pig, he is very smart. Just listening to Xiao Qi's previous words, you can tell that he is reminded not to think about getting ideas here and then go back and start his own business.
.
Hoffman can become the "King of Silicon Valley Networks" because of his very open-minded personality. He doesn't care about Xiao Qi's reminders, but admires Xiao Qi's rigor and caution. Only people like this can create things silently.
A shocking artifact like the dreampad is coming out.
"Wow, I like this idea!"
“It’s not bad either!”
"Haha, I had vaguely thought of this idea before, but I didn't expect you to explain it in such a systematic way, Mr. Qi."
"Well, if you think about it... it seems interesting."
"..."
Along with waves of exclamations, a serious expression gradually appeared on Hoffman's relaxed face.
After so many years of working life, Hoffman's vision has been very high. Although he may not be able to create those magical companies by himself, he can grasp the ones worth investing in through each planning project.
place, which is also an important reason why he is very successful in angel investment.
Now he sees a total of three creative ideas, all of which are very stunning. Any one of them will be no weaker than the companies he founded before, or even stronger!! (To be continued...)
