Peter Thiel traveled from California International Airport to Huaxia, and at about 3 a.m. the next morning, his plane was about to land at Hanzhou International Airport.

In the cabin, the voice reminds passengers to fasten their seat belts and the plane is ready to land.

Peter Thiel, who had slept a little, was a little overexcited at the moment, and at the same time, Wen Lisha, a Chinese female translator from PayPal next to him, said this: "Lisa, after the plane lands, we should not rush to contact Youwei Technology, but wait for the other party to contact us." ”

Peter Till still put on an attitude that foreigners feel very lofty when they come to China, they often read American news reports, they are all talking, Chinese people always think that the foreign moon is rounder than China, they feel very funny and backward, plus just now many Chinese on the plane cast surprised eyes on him, this is probably a kind of pride as an American citizen.

Wen Lisha, the accompanying interpreter, nodded: "Okay boss." ”

Peter Thiel added: "I heard that the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of Yanjing in China are where emperors in Europe used to live, and before returning to the United States, we went to Yanjing to have a look. ”

Translator Wen Lisha probably only said one sentence: "Okay boss, I will help you arrange a trip to Yanjing, and then we will return to the United States from Yanjing." ”

After the plane landed.

Peter Thiel and the interpreter Wen Lisa went out together.

According to Peter Thiel's meaning, he did not contact Youwei Technology, waited for them to call and ask, and then accepted the highest standard of welcome like an important person who was greeted, surrounded by a group of people.

Peter Thiel's imagination is wonderful.

But he simply didn't know.

has defined itself as the capital side, and has defined it as a promising technology that is the uncle if it is rich, and has no intention of welcoming the arrival of Peter Thiel at all.

Peter Thiel's wishful thinking can only say that the Chinese people he has contacted promoted in the American media do not mean that the promising technology that he talked about acquiring with PayPal this time is the same kind.

He thinks he's feeling good.

Peter Thiel and the female translator left the station unhurriedly, and waited for Youwei Technology to call in a hurry.

It's just that more than half an hour has passed since the two of them got off the plane to the time they left the station.

In terms of technology, not only did you not call to contact, but you didn't even see the pick-up person holding a welcome sign at the exit of the station?

Now, even if you are a fool, you know that things are not as rosy as Peter Thiel imagined before he came to Huaxia.

"Lisa, ask what's going on. ”

Finally, Peter Thiel couldn't sit still. Waiting for the same flight, the people who got off the plane together left one after another, and finally Peter Thiel and the female translator Wen Lisha appeared alone at the exit of the station, standing like a fool, at a loss, and even the guide service staff at the airport came twice, probably seeing that they were foreigners, and had the intention of helping, Peter Til began to worry about his first time in Huaxia, whether it would be a problem to even live where.

This was probably the most troublesome time Peter Thiel went abroad for business negotiations.

The female translator Wen Lisha is also in a sluggish state.

She is also a Chinese who often comes to Huaxia, and she has never seen such a Huaxia company. Even foreign businessmen don't take it seriously.

So, according to the boss's instructions, I hurriedly contacted Youwei Technology.

Fortunately.

The two companies, through the early email exchange, have left each other's contact information.

Wen Lisha, a female translator, dialed Youwei Technology on the phone.

Soon, a special lineman answered the call.

"Hello, this is the external business department of Youwei Technology Enterprise Development Division, what do you need help?" Youwei Technology's caller was on duty 24 hours a day, and soon received a call from Wen Lisha. And politely answered the other party.

Wen Lisha communicated with the other party: "Hello, we are the representatives of the American PayPal company to China, we have just arrived at Hanzhou International Airport, and we have not seen the person from your company to pick up the airport. Have you forgotten that we are coming to Huaxia? ”

The caller said: "It turned out to be a guest of PayPal, since you have already arrived in China, then if you want to visit us for technology, you can come to Building 19 of Guancheng Building in Hanzhou City...."

Wen Lisa was surprised and asked, "We came by ourselves, you didn't send someone to arrange our accommodation, and there are others?"

This was a real surprise.

Why does this company not understand simple politeness.

The caller said: "Yes, miss, the address of our company has been told to you, please go to our enterprise development division from 9 am to 6 pm on weekdays, and when the time comes, Mr. Xiao of our business department will personally lead you to meet our Mr. Chen." ”

Wen Lisha understood, she and the company's vice president Peter Thiel came to Huaxia, and the other party didn't take it seriously, even if she wanted to visit, she had to follow the other party's working hours.

"Do you have the contact number of your company's president or CEO? We'll contact him directly. It may be that Wen Lisha felt that an answerer did not have much power, and decided to talk to someone at the top of Youwei Technology, so she asked for a phone call directly.

It's just that the operator told her, "I'm sorry Miss, I can't provide it to you." ”

Wen Lisha was a little angry and said, "What do you mean by your company, our company boss Peter Thiel came to Huaxia to talk to Youwei Technology, is this how your company received? ”

The level of the answering clerk is not bad, and Wen Lisha replied: "Huaxia still has a sentence to entertain the host... I hope you understand, Miss. That's the answer we received, if you have any questions, please report them to my superiors. ”

"Okay, goodbye. Wen Lisha hung up the phone directly. Turning his head, he looked at Peter Thiel, who was already waiting impatiently next to him, fortunately Peter Til couldn't understand Huaxia, otherwise he would have snatched his mobile phone and scolded.

"Boss, I just got in touch with Youwei Technology. Wen Lisa didn't know what to say, so she organized the language, because she knew that Peter Tiel was a grumpy man.

Sure enough, Peter Thiel looked at the lonely exit of the station, and wanted to go back to the United States, so he said angrily: "What does it mean to have promising technology? We have traveled thousands of miles from the United States to China, and this is how they welcome people?....

Wen Lisha smiled apologetically: "What a boss." When I contacted the other party, they asked us to find a place to live by ourselves, and if we want to talk about something, please follow the rules of their company and working hours. ”

Peter Tiel's eyes popped out when he heard this.

The big nose that was originally rosacea was also like being able to breathe fire.

"Hell. That's what they say. ”

Peter Thiel almost turned around and went back to the United States.

Wen Lisa said, "Yes, boss. ”

Peter Tiel's teeth chattered, he thought that the Chinese people were warm, and they treated foreigners, especially Americans, with respect like God, who knows, it was not so beautiful as he imagined.

If there is a sentence that can describe Peter Thiel at this time, it is probably the more popular paralysis in China... Two words.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Peter Thiel wanted to go back to the United States directly, but he thought that if he didn't do anything, he would go back to the United States. When the time comes, the media in the United States always report with a ridiculous tone, reporting on his Peter Thiel's troubles in China, and even eBay's Meg Whitman will laugh at them.

In the end, Peter Thiel still felt that it was better to endure the humiliation in China than to go back to the United States and be laughed at in front of the people of the whole country.

"Lisa, let's find a place to live by ourselves. I will go to Youwei Technology tomorrow, and I will return to the United States the day after tomorrow. ”

Peter Thiel was in a terrible mood... , I don't want to talk about the acquisition with Youwei Technology at all, I just think about the United States, eBay's Meg Whitman can be stimulated to buy PayPal as soon as possible.
