Chapter 144: Good Things (4)
Yao Yi thought of this, so he said: "In this way, I will meet the Chinese American you said and see what kind of tricks he has." ”
Yuwen Lingxuan said: "I have invited him over, and now he is chatting with the old master in the living room." ”
Yao Yi said: "Oh, I see, then let them talk first, and I'll sleep for a while." ”
Yuwen Lingxuan said: "Little master, don't be, let the family wait too long, we are rude, it's better to get up and see each other now." ”
Yao Yi looked at his watch and said, "Oops." It's eleven o'clock soon, I'll sleep for another half an hour, and it'll be time for lunch, and we'll talk while eating, let me sleep a little longer, I've been drowsy to death for the past two days. ”
After Yao Yi finished speaking, he got into the bed.
Yuwen Lingxuan shook his head and said to himself: "What a little child, alas, let him sleep for a while." ”
Yao Yi thought to himself: "It's not that I don't go out, the key is that I haven't figured out yet, what is the reason why this guy took the initiative to come to the door, on the surface it is to engage in academic research, but the research is scientific, even if it is humanistic research, it is also empirical scientific research methods, and any fool and fool understand that the most scientific way for researchers is not to intervene. It doesn't affect his research object, but he is not only the general manager, but also to engage in academic research, it is really nonsense, I am the boss of the soil, I don't know what academic research is, no matter how to say, I think at the beginning, in my previous life, I was also a doctor of medicine, and this academic research thing is also clear. ”
Yao Yi thought about it over and over in the bed, and after forming a general idea and several ideas in his mind, he washed up and went to meet the Chinese-American for a while.
When Yao Yi came to the living room, a sumptuous lunch had already been set on the table.
In the living room, a middle-aged man dressed in white with a top hat next to him, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked polite.
Seeing Yao Yi coming in, he got up and stood up and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Yao Yi Yao Boss Yao." ”
Yao Yi looked at the Chinese Americans, and said with a smile: "When you arrive at our house, you don't have to guess anything, you can understand it at a glance, because our Yao family is very transparent and open." It is in line with the openness and transparency advocated by Lao Mei. ”
The Chinese-American smiled and said, "Boss Yao is not only wise, but also very humorous, you can be said to be famous, I have heard your name in the United States." ”
Yao Yi opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "What? You have heard of me in the United States? This is not a joke, I have never been to the United States, how do you Americans know about me?"
The Chinese-American said: "Hehe, people's reputation knows no borders, it can even travel through time and space." ”
Yao Yi thought to himself: "You guy, you can really fool, yes, listen to your statement later." ”
Yao Yi said: "Hehe, let's be hungry, let's eat, come and taste, this is our Yao family's specialty." Our Yao family's kitchen is not called a kitchen. ”
The Chinese-American asked with some curiosity, "What is it called a kitchen?"
Yao Yi smiled: "That's not it, we are not so admiring foreigners, the kitchen of the ancient emperor is called the imperial dining room, and the kitchen of our Yao family is called the medicinal dining room, hehe." ”
When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.
Yao Hangju said: "Come on, come on, sit down, and taste the taste." ”
Everyone chatted while talking, and in the process of chatting, Yao Yi learned that this Chinese-American named Mei Shengcai, English name is Bruce-Mei, his ancestral home is Suizhou in the south, he was born in the United States, and belongs to the second generation of Chinese Americans. He used to be a top student at Harvard University, and later taught at New York University, and worked as a professional manager in a financial institution in New York.
After dinner, when it was time for Yao Hangju's lunch break, Yao Yi took Yuwen Lingxuan and Mei Shengcai to the company's headquarters building.
Mei Shengcai asked, "Boss Yao, what age is this building?"
Yao Yi said: "This is my grandfather's ancestral property left to me, the age is not short, at least a hundred years, when this building was built, it was the first floor in the capital, hehe, very cultural." ”
Mei Shengcai said: "Yes, it used to be the first floor of the capital, but now he is no longer it, and in the future, he will become less and less likely to become the first floor of the capital, let alone the display of your company's strength, he can only become the company's cultural coordinates in the future." ”
Yao Yi smiled: "Mr. Mei, do you think our company's headquarters building is a bit old, but I also like it here, and I also like it here." ”
Mei Shengcai said: "Boss Yao, you can't delineate the development of the company by your preferences, I think you are a master of great talent and strategy, with long-term planning and strategic vision, but there are some aspects that need to be improved." If your company just wants to develop often, this office building is enough, but now your tentacles have extended to all parts of the country, at this time, it is not to use this building to show your company's cultural heritage, but to have a powerful building, through this building to declare your king status to the outside world. ”
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Mei, I am not a king now, you live in the United States all the year round, do not understand the hidden and unrevealing of the Chinese, let alone the modesty and prudence of the Chinese, don't talk about me, you go and take a look at the largest Chinese medicine company in the country - Shiyitang, their office building is more trembling than ours, why? Hide but not revealing, this is the key, but in the industry, no one can deny his kingship, even we Khurts Hall, we have to look up, although we have a good office building." ”
Mei Shengcai said: "You are right, I am a typical banana person, the appearance is our yellow race, but the inner world is the culture of the white race, even so, you should not forget, at present, in the world we dominate is the culture of the Western white race, and our Chinese culture has declined, you do not have a deep understanding in the capital, you go to the coastal city of Suizhou in the south to see, there are some young people who advocate Western culture, and this trend is getting stronger and stronger." Of course, I'm not criticizing Chinese civilization, I just want to talk about a social phenomenon, and we must follow the trend as a business, so that we can follow the trend. ”
Yao Yi said: "Mr. Mei, in my heart, I have always had a question, can I consult you?"
Mr. Mei said, "Boss Yao, please speak." ”
Yao Yi said: "What I don't understand is that as a professor at the University of Washington, as you, you are middle-class in the United States in terms of income and treatment, so why do you have to travel thousands of miles to return to China? ”
Mei Shengcai said: "I'll tell you a story, do you want to hear it?"
