Chapter 607: The History of Entrepreneurship Blood and Tears
Alex introduced the names of these two foreign devils to Lu Menglin, and it turned out that one of them was called Allen and the other was called Fitli.
It's also a coincidence that Alex came to Hong Kong Island that day and asked for the company address of Legendary Pictures, and originally wanted to go up to find Chen Jiannan, but he overheard someone talking in the elevator, saying that Legendary Pictures had an accident, Chen Jiannan ran away, and the new boss was looking for him in black and white.
Alex took the baby with him and did not dare to take any chances, so he had to return the way he came.
Because he was smuggled to Hong Kong Island, Alex had no passport, no identity documents, no money, and a baby waiting to be fed, and those days were extremely difficult.
Luckily, he met Fitli in the black labor market, where he had attended a professional climbing course, and Alex had taught him as a professional climber and was extremely impressed.
So Fettley brought Alex and the baby girl back here.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for this ghost guy Fitli, Xiao Long Bao and Alex might not have been able to live so comfortably!
"Lu, you have finally appeared! Xiaolongbao will be handed over to you! I should also go back to the United States. I'm going to apply to the embassy and ask them to help me get home. Alex said with a smile.
Lu Menglin smiled and nodded, inevitably a little reluctant to this foreign brother in his heart.
Although the Alex in front of him is a foreigner, he is even more heroic than a hero, and he is a promise.
If it weren't for Lu Menglin's promise, in order to take care of Xiaolongbao, he would have applied to the embassy a long time ago, instead of preferring to work in the dark here, and waiting for Lu Menglin to appear.
"Alex, what are your plans to return to the United States?" Lu Menglin said with a smile.
Alex had an excited expression on his face, waved his fist, and said, "I'm going to climb the Emirates Rock! Climb it completely with my bare hands! With the Chinese kung fu you taught me, I will definitely succeed! I can't wait!"
Lu Menglin nodded and said with a smile: "Very good! Doing what you like is the happiest thing in the world." But, my friend, do you mind if I put the icing on the cake for you?"
"The icing on the cake? I don't really understand the idiom, what does it mean?" Alex asked with a wink.
Lu Menglin didn't answer him immediately, but turned to Feteri and Allen.
"You two, you should be professional soldiers, right? Why did you come to Hong Kong Island? And those troubles outside before, can you tell me?" Lu Menglin said lightly.
The two glanced at each other, Alan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Is it useful to tell you? ”
Fitley also nodded, "You guys go away with the kids, and Alex, a great climber like you, shouldn't get involved in these troubles." ”
"No, no! I think you misunderstood. I want to know why you're on Hong Kong Island! If the reason is right, I'll solve the problem for you!" Lu Menglin smiled.
"There is no doubt that there is no trouble for him to be uneven on Hong Kong Island!" Chen Jiannan next to him also said with a smile.
Fitley smiled, the wrinkles on his face laughing vicissitudes.
"It doesn't matter! Alan and I used to be mercenaries, and we took on a mission in South Africa that no one had taken over, and we were sent to carry out a mission in China.
"It's poverty that makes us so stupid! When we go to the interior, we find that it's an impossible task! Because it's full of Oriental faces, and we're too conspicuous to be able to connect with our close targets, and even if we complete the mission, we can't get out of it. Alan smiled wryly.
"Moreover, we found that it is easy to make money working in China, much more than working as a mercenary. I earn 10 times more just teaching English to children than I used to get shot. Fitley said with a happy face.
"So we decided to stay and become teachers in China and teach English! My partner told me that Hong Kong Island is more international and has a more learning atmosphere, so let's come here to run training courses.
Once we rented the space, the bastard disappeared with the money. Then we found that teaching English on Hong Kong Island was not an easy business, and in order to make a living, we had to teach other courses and use the skills we had learned in the mercenary army to attract business. ”
"Originally, we had already received the tuition fees, but the security here on Hong Kong Island is too bad, and those people from the local community often come to make trouble, and we have to pay protection money, and we run away and come back, which is really troublesome! It scares the students away!" Allen shook his head and sighed.
Lu Menglin and Chen Jiannan looked at each other when they heard this, who would have thought that these two foreign devils would have such a tortuous and bizarre experience, it is simply a heart-wrenching history of blood and tears in foreign entrepreneurship!
However, their words touched Lu Menglin, and he couldn't help but think about it.
"Wait a minute, I'll get someone over. Lu Menglin listened to the accusations of the two and said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, Lu Menglin took out his mobile phone and dialed out a phone number.
"Liu Taosheng, it's me! I'm in the courtyard of No. 46 Yuanhua Street, please come over now. ”
After making this call, Chen Jiannan was a little incomprehensible, and couldn't help asking, "What are you calling Liu Taosheng to come over?"
"The mountain man has his own tricks! Let's talk about it together when he comes!" Lu Menglin said with a smile.
Not long after, Liu Taosheng hurried over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Menglin holding a baby in his arms, which made him tremble.
"Brother Lu Menglin, you are in such a hurry to call me, you don't want me to be a pick-up man, right? Who is this kid?" Liu Taosheng's imagination has always been very rich, and people who have read too much will always think a little more.
"Well, it's my child. But I'm not looking for you to be a pick-up man. Haha! Come here and introduce you to a few friends. Lu Menglin laughed.
After greeting a few people, Lu Menglin said with a smile: "Lao Liu, I know that you have always wanted to run education, and the company's affairs are quite boring, right?"
Liu Tao laughed loudly, his affairs Lu Menglin knew very well, the company was on the right track, although his position was high and his salary was large, but it was indeed a little boring, which made him feel like he had failed to show his ambitions.
"You just give it a direct order! Anyway, it's always right to listen to you!" Liu Tao laughed.
Lu Menglin nodded and said, "Okay! I plan to take 30 million out, you take these two foreign buddies to set up an education and training institution together, you are responsible for managing the money, and they are responsible for the business, what do you think?"
"What type of education and training institution?" Liu Taosheng became interested when he heard it.
When Alan and Feteri heard that Lu Menglin was going to take out 30 million, they immediately stopped squeaking.
Throwing 30 million at it sounds like a trivial matter, isn't it?
This kid must be bragging! No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a person with a net worth of 30 million!
Although the two foreign devils were silent, the suspicious look in their eyes could not be more obvious.
But it's no wonder, who would believe that a friend of a friend I just met, in the blink of an eye, said that he wanted to take 30 million out to invest, this probability is even smaller than the big lotto!
"The market prospect of education and training is very large, and Chinese will become richer and richer in the future." Pre-school education, English training, have all developed. You will recruit troops, first register a company on Hong Kong Island, make a benchmark, and then go to the mainland to develop, use the name of Hong Kong businessmen and foreign teachers, after two years, and after the Internet is further popularized, then do distance education, online education, I am very optimistic about this blue ocean. ”
"I will invest 30 million yuan, the company's shares are counted as three shares, I will account for one, you and these two creators will account for one, and then Alex, as the company's image spokesperson, will also account for one, do you understand?"
After Lu Menglin finished speaking, the room was suddenly silent.
Liu Taosheng frowned, he was still seriously digesting every word Lu Menglin said.
Fitley and Alan couldn't believe it at all, but it was just for the sake of face, and the kid's fists were too hard to refute.
Alex believes it, he knows Lu Menglin's majesty on the mysterious island, and he doesn't think there is any problem that Lu Menglin can invest 30 million in the normal world.
"Do I have a share, right?" Alex said with a smile, a little embarrassed.
Lu Menglin waved his hand and said with a smile: "No! Of course you have a share! You like rock climbing, this investment can allow you to do what you like without any scruples, besides, when you climb the Emirates Rock and make a sensation in the world, I may make a lot of money on this investment!"
When Alex heard him mention rock climbing, he no longer refused, but smiled and said, "Yes, with this money, I can buy the best equipment, and maybe hire a professional camera team to film my freehand climbing, maybe I can apply for an Oscar!"
Lu Menglin patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I believe in you, you must do it!"
While the five of them were talking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the big bungalow.
It sounds like a lot of people are pouring into the square and coming this way.
Fitley and Alan rushed to the door alertly, looking out of the door.
After just one glance, the faces of the two changed dramatically at the same time.
