Those problems are gone, but there are problems with his situation, Xu Xincheng began to worry again, in front of girls, he has never been the kind of person who is clever and talkative, let alone the kind of person who is good at rhetoric, in desperation, he can only have nothing to say, and said: "Lucy, it seems that you are a VIP here, and the waiters know you." ”

"Yes. Lucy paused, looked at him, and said, "Last time, you told me a lot about you, and today, I'm going to tell you a little bit about me." ”

Lucy was naturally very happy when he said this, and nodded slightly with a smile, waiting for her to continue, while he thought to himself, "Great! ”

"I'm a Chinese-American, I'm a VC, and my investment company is in this building, so I often come here for coffee. ”

"Oh! It's a great place to greet guests and catch up with colleagues. ”

He saw the very beautiful bracelet watch on Lucy's left wrist, which she had worn the last time they met.

The bracelet is silvery-white, it should be pure titanium, the width of the bracelet surface is about 2.5 cm, the thickness is about 0.5 cm, the streamlined shape, novel and exquisite, the watch that is perfectly integrated with the bracelet is round, the diameter is about 3 cm, the color and material of the case and hands are the same as the bracelet, and the dial is sky blue, pure sky blue, like a small blue sky, the edge of the small blue sky is evenly arranged with 12 small diamonds shining with pure white light, like 12 shining small suns.

He couldn't help but admire: "The bracelet watch on your hand is really very beautiful!"

Lucy's face suddenly showed a look of sadness, she looked down at the bracelet watch, and stroked it with the index and middle fingers of her right hand, as if caressing a painful memory, and after a while, she said, "This bracelet watch was given to me by my grandfather." I wear it every day. ”

Xu Xincheng immediately realized that he had picked the wrong topic, and thought to himself, he had to change the topic quickly, so he hurriedly asked, "Eh...... You must be very good at fashion, right?"

At this time, Lucy has returned to normalcy and returned to a quiet and leisurely demeanor, she said lightly: "I understand some, but I won't spend too much time on clothes, I have a good designer, all the clothes, shoes, etc. are designed and customized by him." ”

He exclaimed: "He must be a very skilled designer and tailor, I don't know about fashion, but I think your clothes are really the most beautiful and fashionable I have ever seen." ”

"Thank you!" Lucy smiled faintly.

Seeing her smile, he felt a little relieved, and felt the need to continue to talk about some lighter topics, what was the lighter topic?

Just as he was about to ask, Lucy asked, "You must like to read, don't you?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lucy thought of going with him, he was naturally overjoyed, reading was his first hobby, he could talk about this topic for hours, he said happily: "Yes, reading is my first hobby." ”

Then, Xu Xincheng and Lucy talked about how he followed his mother, who was a school librarian, to read books in the library since he was a child; he talked about how books were windows for him, allowing him to see the vast world beyond the 8th-tier city where he was located; he talked about the reading plans he made for himself during college and after work, and how he realized those plans; and how the sages and famous writers of thousands of years injected him with new ideas and ideas, how they inspired him to carry out new thinking and new exploration, and how they guided him step by step to where he is today……

Lucy listened with interest, smiling and nodding from time to time, and when he was finished, he asked, "What have you been reading lately?"

He pointed to the mobile phone on the desktop and said, "I was just watching Mr. Wu Xiaobo's "Ten Years of Turbulence, Big Water and Big Fish". ”

"I have read most of Mr. Wu Xiaobo's works, especially "The Great Defeat", "One Hundred Years of Turmoil", "Thirty Years of Turmoil" and "Ten Years of Turmoil, Big Water and Big Fish", all of which are very good works, which are very helpful for me to understand the development and changes of Chinese business in the past 100 years, especially in the past 40 years. ”

"Yes, those books are very good works. In addition to financial books, what other books do you usually read?"

"I'm usually busy, but as long as it's helpful for my work, I always take the time to read it, and finance is just one of them. ”

Xu Xincheng wanted to know more about Lucy's past, she just said that she was Chinese-American, presumably living in the United States for many years, and studying in the United States, so he asked, "You read in the United States, right?"

"I've been in the U.S. for a while, and now I've lived in China for a long time, but I still have to travel to the U.S. and other countries from time to time. ”

"Which countries have you been to, which cities?"

"There are not many countries and cities that I have visited, mainly the United States, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, etc., and the cities are mainly New York, Silicon Valley, Berlin, Munich, Dubai, etc. ”

Although Lucy answered all his questions one by one, they were all very vague, and Xu Xincheng felt that she still had reservations, and was not willing to reveal too much detailed information about herself. He thought to himself, "What can I do?"

Just as he was worried about what to talk about next, Lucy asked, "I saw from your business card that your English name is Steve, right? I'll call you Steve in the future, okay?"

"Absolutely. He said, and immediately added, "Company A's Joe is my biggest idol, so I use his first name Steve as my English name." Every time he told someone his English name, he would add it.

"Steve is a good name. The expression on Lucy's face suddenly became serious, she looked at him very seriously, and said meaningfully, "Steve, a man who changed the world, a true Change-maker, an Ultimate Change-maker." ”

Xu Xincheng agreed with her statement, and he nodded seriously and said, "Yes." ”

--\\\

This is the first time Xu Xincheng has heard Lucy use the English word "Change-maker", and the first time he has heard her use "Change-maker" to describe a person who has changed the world, and he thinks it is a very appropriate word.

It was only later that he gradually came to understand the rich meaning of the word, and gradually understood the profound meaning that Lucy gave to it.

Xu Xincheng felt that he should take the initiative, after all, he was a man, so he said: "Lucy, I wonder if you can add your WeChat? ”

"Good. I think we will have more opportunities to meet and chat in the future, and it will be more convenient to add WeChat. Lucy said as she took out her phone from her handbag, opened WeChat, and asked him to scan the code.

After adding her Lucy's WeChat, he quickly flipped through her circle of friends and found that she rarely posted on Moments, only three times in a few years, and each time she only posted a photo of natural scenery, and never wrote or marked the location.

He thought to himself, "It seems that Lucy is a person who pays great attention to personal privacy, so let's respect her privacy and stop asking questions about her personally." ”

So, in the following time, he kept the topic on himself, and he told Lucy some interesting things about his childhood, and some interesting things about his study, life and work in Guangzhou in the past few years.

Lucy was very interested in his work, and she asked, "Steve, can you give us an overview of your company and its products?"

During his one-and-a-half-year tenure as the secretary to the general manager, one of his main responsibilities was to entertain the guests who visited the company for General Manager Li, take them to visit the company and the exhibition hall, take them to see the products developed by the company, and introduce the technology, functions and applications of the products to them.

It's one of his specialties, and since Lucy is so interested in the company and the product, he's certainly happy to introduce it to her.

Without thinking, he said, "Of course." Hongfei AI Division is a business unit set up by Shenzhen Hongfei Company in Guangzhou, focusing on the research and development of applications and products with AI as the core technology, which has been established for two years, and at present, the company has more than 2,300 people.

We adopt a partnership model, with more than 50 cooperative enterprises and foundry factories, and the company's headquarters does not need too many personnel, but does the core business, and other businesses are assigned to cooperative enterprises.

The company has several R&D teams, including intelligent electronic equipment project team, smart home appliance project team, smart wearable device project team, intelligent robot project team, smart car project team, smart travel project team, etc., we have developed products such as smart phones, smart refrigerators, smart juicers, smart air conditioners, smart fans, smart cleaning machines, smart speakers and other 28 smart products, and more than 20 products are in the final stage of research and development, in addition, there are many other products in the early or middle stage of research and development.

In the first year, the company focused on R&D and production, and in the second year, in addition to R&D and production, we began to make efforts on the sales side, and have successively opened flagship stores on Tmall, Jingdong, Suning and other platforms, and at the same time, we also carried out various marketing activities with the help of Shenzhen Hongfei's network platform. Now, sales are on track, and the last three months have been very good, with more than 50% growth every month. ”

He then introduced Lucy to Lucy in detail about the company's 10 flagship products, showed her some photos of the products he had stored on his phone, and introduced their technologies, functions and applications one by one.

Happy times always fly by, and before you know it, it's half past five again, and the two have made an appointment to meet again at the same time next Sunday.

Like last time, Xu Xincheng took the elevator to the first floor and said goodbye to Lucy at the elevator entrance, while she took the elevator to the parking lot below the building.
