"I am very sorry, may I ask this gentleman, what position do you hold in Hong Kong Fengyu Company?"

Li Ye was observing John Qian Bosi carefully! But he was suddenly interrupted by Wang Lie.

He looked at Wang Lie and found that although the helmsman of Wang An Company still maintained calmness on his face, the impatience in his eyes was already very intense.

Li Ye said faintly: "Hello Mr. Wang, I am an intern at Hong Kong Fengyu, but I understand the situation in the mainland very well, so I think joint research and joint production are good opportunities for both of us."

Wang Lie stared at Li Ye for two seconds, and suddenly laughed with a "chi" sound.

He laughed for several seconds, then shook his head and said: "This is the best joke I've heard this year... Your idea is very funny."

The whole scene was silent.

Even John Qian Bosi, who didn't like Li Ye much, was full of surprise, and then lowered his head to cover his expression.

No matter how you don't believe in Hong Kong Fengyu, they came over for the final negotiation according to the intention discussed earlier.

Today, as soon as they arrived, they were called over for negotiation, which was already very impolite. Now they even say words like "funny." Can you really shoulder the burden of the helmsman of Wang An Company?

Actually, Wang An's decision to let his son Wang Lie take over as president of the company was strongly opposed within the company.

Because in this place of the Lighthouse, it doesn't pay attention to father-to-son succession like the Confucian cultural circle; they prefer to invite excellent managers to manage family industries.

But Wang An is not. In his subconscious, the company is his own family's. He needs to have absolute control over the company, to the point that he chooses to use his own family members in many important positions.

Even big shots like John Qian Bosi were just mediocre small roles like regional managers.

Although Qian Bosi was later promoted to the position of Lighthouse regional president, he had to complete the task of laying off 4,000 people first. Isn't this letting him take the blame?

So Wang An acted arbitrarily and forcibly pushed his son onto the throne of the company's helmsman, which was the biggest mistake in his life and also the most fatal mistake.

For example, now, clearly Li Ye extended an olive branch to him, but he thought it was "funny."

You say incompetence is fine, bad luck is fine, in short, he missed the last opportunity to save Wang An Company.

Pei Wencong didn't look at Li Ye's face to see if it was bad, and said severely: "Mr. Wang Lie, is this your attitude? Are you sure this is your company's attitude toward us?"

Wang Lie felt a chill in his heart, but still insisted: "Mr. Pei, I am not completely denying the cooperation intention we reached earlier,

but I think we should start from agency sales, gradually deepen understanding, gradually build trust, and then discuss the possibility of joint research and joint production within three to five years..."

"There is no need for that. It is not certain whether Wang An Company will still be there in five years!"

Li Ye didn't wait for Wang Lie to finish speaking and stood up directly, lifting his feet and walking outside the conference room.

You are impolite to me, then I will be even more impolite.

And another intern, classmate Watching Wen Leyu, very competently performed her role as a "translator," translating Li Ye's words into English.

It's just that Watching Wen Leyu was very angry, so she translated "It is not certain whether Wang An Company will still be there in five years" into "It is not certain whether Wang An Company will go bankrupt in five years."

The actions of the young couple shocked Wang Lie and John Qian Bosi very much.

But they hadn't waited to get angry yet! They saw Pei Wencong, Luo Runbo, and others start packing things without saying a word, following Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu away, not even saying a polite greeting.

What is this doing? Is this the rhythm of wanting to form a feud?

By this time, even if Wang Lie and John Qian Bosi were slow to react, they realized that the "intern" was not right.

"Qian Bosi, what is going on? You have been in Asia for so long, how can these people be so impolite?"

John Qian Bosi's brows were tightly furrowed and didn't spread for a long time, but for the sake of his boss's face, he finally explained uncertainly:

"Although the mainland has begun to open up, it is still closed compared to other regions. I have only contacted one person who is said to be a second-generation from the mainland. Now I feel... that person is not as much like a second-generation as the two young people just now."

Wang Lie's family education is standard Confucian culture, naturally knowing the truth that "more friends mean more paths, more enemies mean tearing down a bridge."

So he said to John Qian Bosi: "You contact them as soon as possible to repair the relationship. If necessary, you can make some concessions in terms of interests."

Qian Bosi almost got angry.

You special cat, you let me repair what? You offended people, and you let me go to repair the relationship?

According to the concept of the Lighthouse side, there is no feud that cannot be resolved with interests, but it is completely not the case on Li Ye's side.

After Li Ye and the others left Wang An Company and were on the way back to the hotel, Pei Wencong said shamefully: "I am sorry, Mr. Li. This time it is my dereliction of duty. I did not make detailed investigation preparations. I did not know that Wang Lie's attitude toward us was completely different from Mr. Wang An's..."

Li Ye exhaled, also a bit disappointed.

Mr. Wang An is a legendary figure, and he was later received by the highest leader of the mainland, so Li Ye came with great hope to seek cooperation.

Li Ye's original intention was to establish a computer company in Hong Kong to avoid technical restrictions from the West as much as possible. After all, computers in the eighties were definitely a high-end industry, and Western companies could not inject the most advanced technology into mainland enterprises.

But Hong Kong is different, especially Hong Kong before 1997, which did not have such large restrictions in electronics. For example, the switching equipment that Huawei initially acted as an agent for was produced by companies in Hong Kong.

When the time comes, Pengcheng Fengyu will be just across a river from Hong Kong. Li Ye will organize personnel to go over for exchanges and learning in turns. With the drilling spirit of Ni Dashen's group, what kind of treasure can't be dug out?

But now it's good, people look down on others, do I still have to kneel and lick?

Li Ye doesn't know what kind of person Mr. Wang An, who founded Wang An Company, is, but his son... is really a very competent gravedigger, digging a hole himself and burying himself.

"Don't waste time on Wang An Company," Li Ye said coldly: "If there is no butcher Zhang, do we have to eat hairy pigs? Go contact other manufacturers!"

There are no less than eight hundred IT industry manufacturers around Boston, but not many survived in the end, and there are only a few with big names.

"Okay, Mr. Li. We have also had contact with other computer companies. Also, what do you think of Microsoft?"

"Microsoft?"

Li Ye looked at Pei Wencong: "Why do you want to ask this question?"

Pei Wencong replied: "Mr. Li, although Microsoft is a small company, they have a good relationship with IBM, and they are about to go public in a month and a half. If we get a part of the equity..."

"You must handle Microsoft's equity carefully."

Li Ye immediately corrected: "We can eat Microsoft's stocks, but we must eat them in a dispersed manner, so as not to be targeted by the CIA in the future."

Although Microsoft is still a small company now, its net assets are only 2 million US dollars, just reaching the listing threshold of NASDAQ, and the stock price at listing was only 15 cents.

But it is a behemoth in the future, and any major shareholder is a bright target.

Don't say that holding 5% which must indicate identity, even 1%, I don't know how many people are coveting it.

Li Ye doesn't think that a great company like Microsoft can let him participate in the shares easily.

Because the financial investment in the Lighthouse is more developed than in Asia. Since Silicon Valley and Boston can develop, there is no shortage of speculators like Li Ye who wave banknotes.

If you really block their wealth path, that is a feud of killing parents.

But the net assets are only 2 million, and the return rate is 4500 times. This kind of business, even if you fight with knives, you have to eat it!

So you must be careful, careful, and careful again. Use the ant-moving-house method from multiple channels such as Europe, Asia, and the United States to eat this piece of fat meat first.
