Chapter 408

If it is domestic, there are a lot of entertainment activities on this big night.

In the United States, it is better to go back to the hotel honestly.

However, it is different for some people who have lived in the United States for a long time. They know which places are chaotic and which places are safe, and they can travel normally at night. Zhou Buqi received a call, which was quite surprising.

"Mr. Zhou Buqi?"

"I am, are you?"

"I'm Liu Qing."

"Um?"

"Liu Chuanqi is my father."

"Oh! It's you!" Zhou Buqi smiled suddenly, "I know you, I have been to your house, and I have seen your photos. You are very cute and lovable...Uh, I mean the photos of you when you were young."

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and asked, "Do you have time? I want to see you."

"Now?"

"Didn't you still go to a technology company for a friendly visit during the day?"

"You inquired so clearly?"

Liu Qing smiled and said, "I'm now the director of the investment department of Goldman Sachs, and I have deep contacts with technology companies in Silicon Valley."

"The boss of Goldman Sachs? Amazing!"

"No, don't lift me up."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Then, Ms. Liu, what is your identity when you meet me this time? Is it Mr. Liu's daughter, is it a fellow villager, or is it an investor of Goldman Sachs?"

Liu Qing is very experienced, "No matter who I am, it's me. Are you at the Hilton Hotel? Let's meet. During the Spring Festival, my dad always mentions you to me."

"Did you praise me?"

"Well, no less boasting."

"Want to recruit me to be your son-in-law?"

"..."

Liu Qing froze for a moment, but didn't react, she didn't expect this kid to be so frivolous.

In terms of age, she is seven or eight years older than Zhou Buqi.

Zhou Buqi laughed, "I'm just kidding, don't mind, if that's the case, I'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs now, let's meet and chat."

"OK."

Only then did Liu Qing become lively again.

Half an hour later, the two met in the lobby.

Liu Qing was wearing a beige windbreaker, surrounded by a red knit. Lined with white shirt, jeans, long hair, big waves.

The royal lady is full of temperament.

It felt like an enhanced version of Zhen Yu.

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi was in a daze.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Qing laughed.

Zhou Buqi scratched his head, "I thought it was a younger sister, she looks older than me."

Liu Qing couldn't laugh or cry, "Aren't you still studying undergraduate? How old are you?"

"Sophomore."

"I graduated from Harvard with a master's degree four years ago."

"sharp!"

Zhou Buqi gave a thumbs up.

Liu Qing smiled lightly and said, "What's so great, it's all for nothing. When I read Bill Gates' "The Road to the Future", I was quite affected, so I went against my father's will and wanted to be a programmer. I went to Peking University to study computer science. Then I went to Harvard, and ended up in Goldman Sachs in the year of my internship, and got into an investment bank in a daze.”

Zhou Buqi thought for a while, "I remember Boss Liu seems to have said that you work for the Hong Kong government?"

Liu Qing said: "Yes, it's Goldman Sachs Asia Headquarters. Now Goldman Sachs Asia has a vacant directorship. I'm here to see Mr. Peyton, hoping to win it."

"Fuck!"

Zhou Buqi couldn't help swearing, and opened his eyes wide, "Are you here for connections? Americans like this too? Besides, how old are you? Doesn't a giant investment bank like Goldman Sachs talk about seniority?"

Liu Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not as serious as you said, just to maintain contacts, and by the way... find a chance to meet you."

"see me?"

Zhou Buqi looked at her suspiciously.

"Are we just standing here?"

Liu Qing smiled but wasn't smiling.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "That's right, let's go, I'll go to my room."

Liu Qing: "..."

Very speechless.

This is the Hilton Hotel. There is a coffee shop, a tea room, and a leisure club. Where can I go? The first time this lonely man and widow met, he was invited to your room?

But she didn't think much of it.

It's true that the two met for the first time, but they have been friends for a long time, and the identity of Boss Liu is there.

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi's room is a standard suite.

You can sit on the sofa and chat instead of sitting directly on the bed.

"any drinks?"

"Water is fine."

"Drink some bars, it's all included in the room rate, if you don't drink, you don't drink, you can't waste it."

Liu Qing twitched the corners of her mouth, "You are really thrifty."

Zhou Buqi didn't seem to hear the teasing tone, and said generously: "The traditional virtues of our Chinese sons and daughters can't follow the old aesthetics, it's a serious waste."

Liu Qing took the wine glass, said "thank you", took a sip helplessly, and said softly, "I'm here to ask you for help this time."

"What's up?"

"I want to invest in your company."

Zhou Buqi had already guessed it, and shook his head, "Ziweixing has no plan to start financing in the past two years."

Liu Qing frowned delicately, suspiciously, "Why? I've heard that Ziwei Star has launched a major national scientific research project and received the highest level of funding from the Natural Science Foundation of China. It should require a large amount of research and development funding, right?"

Zhou Buqi crossed Erlang's legs, sat opposite her, sipped some red wine, and said relaxedly, "I'm coming to America this time, and I want to invest in three companies."

"ah?"

"One is Facebook, you should have heard of it, and it will be announced in a few years. The other is Twitter, which is also a social networking site. The other is an advertising company in the mobile field. The total investment...is about 10 million U.S. dollars. .”

This is a bit exaggerated.

Investing in Facebook is OK.

But the Twitter thing hasn't happened yet.

As for the advertising company, a classmate of Zhen Yu's at Wharton Business School wants to create a platform that can bypass operators and help application software earn revenue through advertising.

There is no shadow.

At least I have to wait until I graduate in May before discussing this project in detail. But it's not a big problem. They are classmates, and they have communicated with each other a long time ago.

Liu Qing opened her eyes wide, unbelievable: "Is Ziwei Xing so rich?"

Zhou Buqi was unequivocal, "It's okay."

Liu Qing bit her lip and stared at him intently.

Obviously not convinced.

Zhou Buqi was calm and calm, sipping the red wine with his head down, looking like he was enjoying himself.

Seeing this, Liu Qing was about to smack, so she put down her wine glass and took off her beige windbreaker. The refreshing and heroic lady's shirt was exposed inside, her chest was bulging, and she had a good figure.

Zhou Buqi tried his best to restrain himself, maybe because he hadn't touched a woman for a few days, his eyes always subconsciously glanced at her chest.

Liu Qing was almost amused, so she quickly held back.

I feel that this little guy is out of tune at all, and a little restrained and shy.

Over the years, she has been working in the United States and the Hong Kong government, and all her contacts are white people. Those animals didn't understand the oriental restraint at all, and when they fell in love with it, they would stare straight at it, eager to swallow it in their stomachs.

"Are you still shy?"

"Don't talk!"

Zhou Buqi snorted and refused to admit it.

Liu Qing rolled her hair by her ears, and sighed softly: "Ziweixing is very famous, Goldman Sachs is very optimistic... It should be said that the entire capital circle is very optimistic, just waiting for you to send out a signal to start financing."

Zhou Buqi asked, "Is this important to you?"

Liu Qing didn't pretend, and said bluntly: "Well, if Ziwei Xing can be won, the director's seat should not be able to escape."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment, then sighed: "You also know that we are working on a major scientific research project, which is distributed database and distributed firewall, you should know about it?"

"Um."

"This is a big project, with an annual investment of 100 million yuan, it may not be effective in three to five years. If financing is carried out and capital is allowed to participate in the company's strategy, they will definitely oppose it."

Liu Qing was silent.

She can relate to that.

There is an unwritten rule in the capital circle that the return period for investing in high-tech companies in the United States is usually between 10-12 years. Because the technology companies in Silicon Valley are all world-class high-tech, it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.

If you have confidence in Silicon Valley, you will be more patient.

However, domestic companies are different. Generally, they want to see results within three years, and they pursue short-term returns.

This has made it difficult for some domestic high-tech scientific research projects to obtain funds.

Capital constraints are too serious.

For high-tech scientific research projects, of course, people invest in Silicon Valley, which is less risky. Why should they take big risks to invest in mainland China?

"Why don't we wait for Ziwei Star to develop and have sufficient cash flow before doing research and development?" Liu Qing couldn't help asking.

Zhou Buqi glanced at her, "Is it possible?"

"Um?"

"Lenovo took the trade, industry and technology route back then, first trade, then technology, and then technology. After so many years, isn't it still stuck in the stage of trade and technology? I heard that recently, even the mobile phone research and development department has been abolished. The stock price is there, and investors are dissatisfied with investing a lot of money in research and development. Many times, once they get in touch with capital, they will be involuntary."

Liu Qing's face was not very good-looking, "Are you criticizing my father?"

Zhou Buqi immediately shook his head, "I don't mean that. Mr. Liu is always the godfather of business in China, and Lenovo is also a red flag for reform and opening up to go abroad. But the times are progressing and the country is developing. It is impossible to be complacent. Mr. Liu always belongs to the previous one. Entrepreneur of the age."

It was very euphemistic.

Liu Qing snorted, and took a deep look at him, "I won't tell my father what you said."

Zhou Buqi smiled, very calmly, "It's okay, a gentleman is magnanimous."

Liu Qing bit her lip, "Scientific research costs a lot of money."

"I have to do that! I went to Google this afternoon, Ms. Liu, I..." Zhou Buqi sighed, "I feel so deeply that I feel like my life is at a loss, so I want to see a psychiatrist. "

Liu Qing was surprised: "It's not that serious, is it?"

"It's true, you know what Larry Page said? He said that Google's competitor is NASA. He also said that he is still young and in the learning stage, so he is not in charge of Google, only in charge of an 'X project '."

"Project X? What for?"

"Turning the vision in the science fiction film into reality."

"It's so far away."

"But if you don't do it, you will never achieve it. Technology can change the world."

"So you're touched?"

Zhou Buqi sighed: "Yes, people are busy changing the world and exploring the endless universe every day, but I am racking my brains to make entertainment and sell mobile phones on the one-third of an acre of land in China. This level of life, Send people home hundreds of thousands of miles."

Liu Qing was quite moved, and said with relief: "You can think this way, which means that you are not that far behind others. Many people are still satisfied with money and benefits, as if they can do anything with money. My dad said something to me, and I can pass it on to you. Enterprises are the epitome of the times. Don’t compare with the United States, create jobs and wealth first, and let the common people eat their stomachs. People who are hungry, only think about it every day It can be food and clothing. If you change positions with Larry Page, maybe you can do better than him! The times create companies, and the environment affects individuals. This is not something you can change.”

Zhou Buqi raised his wine glass with a smile: "I feel comfortable listening to this, Miss Liu, I would like to toast you."
