Chapter 183: Leonard
Although they haven't been together for a long time, Zheng Yan is very sure that Bill Miller is definitely not a purposeless person, and his friends must really be able to help him.
After a brief consideration, Zheng Yan agreed to Bill Miller's invitation. Anyway, I don't have a clue at the moment, so it would be good to follow Bill Miller to meet his friends first.
In the evening, Bill Miller and his wife, along with Zheng Yan, left the hotel and arrived at a private villa on the outskirts of San Jose, which was not luxurious, but the environment was quiet.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Bill Miller had already contacted in advance, when the three arrived, a middle-aged couple greeted them.
"Bill, Leslie, you're welcome!"
"Leonard, Santi, long time no see. It's not just the two of us who are here today, we also brought a friend we just met. This is Zheng Yan, from China, I met Leslie and I met when we were on vacation, he came to the United States this time, but he made a special trip to see you. ”
After the two sides greeted each other, Bill Miller introduced Zheng Yan again.
When Zheng Yan heard the other party's name, he thought it was just a coincidence, but Bill Miller's next words made Zheng Yan understand that the Leonard in front of him was the goal of his trip.
"Bill, Leslie, you've been hiding from me. Hello Mr. Bosak and Ms. Lerner. ”
In fact, it was not only Zheng Yan who was shocked, but also the Leonards. Although the two of them have not met Zheng Yan, they have already learned from Miyuki Aso that Zheng Yan wants to participate in financing.
It's just that the two didn't expect that Zheng Yan actually knew Bill Miller and Leslie, and they didn't expect that the two sides would meet in this situation.
"Okay Zheng Yan, Leslie and I just wanted to surprise you. Of course, we don't care if your cooperation is successful or not. Bill Miller said with a smile.
Leonard listened to Bill Miller's words and realized that Zheng Yan was also kept in the dark. In other words, Bill Miller knew Zheng Yan's purpose and took the initiative to help the other party without Zheng Yan's knowledge.
This made Raonard, who had known Bill Miller for many years, even more curious.
"Welcome Zheng Yan, since you are friends with Bill and Leslie, you are naturally also our friends, you can call us by our first names just like Bill and them. Let's go, let's go inside. ”
As the few people walked into the house, Bill Miller explained to Zheng Yan.
It turned out that Leslie and Leonard's wife Santi were college classmates, and over time, the two families established a deep friendship.
Leslie was also introducing the process of meeting Zheng Yan to the Leonards, and after entering the house, both parties had a preliminary understanding.
"Zheng Yan, seriously, if it wasn't for Bill to bring you here, I really can't believe that you just met. ”
"You may not know much about Bill, he has always been above the top, and he wants to be recognized by him, but it's not easy, and besides, you're still so young. ”
It can be seen from the tone of his voice that the relationship between the two families is indeed very good, and Leonard is not shy about evaluating Bill Miller at all.
"yes, that's a great honor! You know, I'm running an investment company right now, and I've been inspired a lot by the two days I've been in contact with Bill. ”
"Maybe as you said, Bill's vision is a little high, but that's what matches his talent, doesn't it?"
"We have a saying in China, people can't be arrogant, but they can't be arrogant, I think, what Bill has is arrogance. ”
At this moment, Zheng Yan's idea of digging Bill Miller into Yanhuang Investment has become even more determined. If Bill Miller joins, in addition to his talent, he can also get his connections, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Alright, you guys talk first, and Leslie and I will go and see tonight's dinner. ”
Seeing that the three of them were happy to talk, Santi pulled Leslie away. After all, the two haven't seen each other for a long time, and there is always something to whisper.
"Okay, Zheng Yan, let's talk about financing during this time before the meal. To be honest, although I promised your assistant that I would meet with you, your investment company was not on my radar. ”
"Still, since you're a friend of Bill's, I don't mind hearing what you think. Most of all, I believe in Bill's eye for people. ”
"I've known Bill for years, but this is the first time I've seen him help someone else, so he must be very optimistic about you. ”
"Of course, it doesn't affect my final decision. The only thing that can influence my decision is our next conversation. As long as your terms impress me, I can promise to let you participate in the final financing. ”
Leonard is also curious in his heart, what kind of charm Zheng Yan has that can make Bill Miller make a special trip from Florida to fly over most of the United States to California to help match.
Long before considering financing and going public, Leonard had approached Bill Miller, hoping to get financing from the other party, but Bill Miller refused.
It's just that Leonard knew that Bill Miller's investment direction was not in line with his company, so he didn't take it seriously. But now, Bill Miller has brought himself an investor.
"Seriously, this meeting was a bit too unexpected for me. When I got off the plane today, my assistant Miyuki Aso also told me that it was unlikely that we could participate in the financing. ”
"Originally, according to my plan, I had to spare two days to think about what to do. I just didn't expect that because of Bill, we sat together just after getting off the plane. ”
"It's like a war, I was still preparing the strategy of arranging the troops, preparing weapons, food and grass, but Bill directly dropped me on the battlefield. To be honest, I don't know if I'll survive. ”
Zheng Yan was just laughing at himself, but he made Bill Miller and Leonard laugh.
"Oh Zheng Yan, you don't have to be nervous. Just like when we were on the island, you just have to say what you think. I feel like you can convince Leonard that if he doesn't agree, it must be his loss. ”
After a short time on the island, the two talked about investment, and Zheng Yan also talked about his operation in the Japanese stock market in order to attract Bill Miller. Today's Bill Miller admires and believes in Zheng Yan very much.
And Bill Miller's words made the curiosity on Leonard's face darken.
Zheng Yan finally understood the Internet language of later generations at this moment, what it means that there is no rehearsal in life, and every day is live broadcast.
