There is a proverb in the West: fools use their ears, smart people use their feet. This means that stupid people tend to make decisions based on what they hear, while smart people take a step forward and go for themselves, take a look, do a field trip, and figure out the truth.

There is also a saying that is widely circulated in the East: practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

There is always something for human nature and wisdom, both in the East and in the West.

Jeff Bezos and his wife, especially Jeff himself, chatted happily with Son Dawei and welcomed a 'capitalist' from China to invest in Amazon. However, all this is based on an intention, whether it is feasible or not, and how to do it?

Since Sun Dawei has come to Amazon on behalf of Liang Yifei for inspection, Amazon has asked to visit Liang Yifei in China as well.

Interestingly, it wasn't Jeff Bezos himself, but his wife, McKinsey Bezos.

"His wife is coming?" On the phone, Liang Yifei's tone was a little puzzled and questioning.

Probably because China has Taobao, so Chinese are far less familiar with Amazon, the world Internet giant, than several other large companies at the same level, and Liang Yifei is limited to knowing Amazon's limited information, mainly Jeff Bezos himself and some important deeds of Amazon.

But Liang Yifei really doesn't know anything about the wife of this bald man.

Behind every successful man is an outstanding woman, who is rarely known to the public, if not in some way so special.

To put it politically incorrect, Liang Yifei can know Yu Minhong's wife, or because he is really afraid of his wife, knowing Zuckerberg's wife, mainly because he felt that he never thought that he would find such an ugly wife, at least in the eyes of the Chinese, the most famous Liu Qiangdong's wife is herself the first generation of Internet celebrities in China.

Of course, these ideas are extremely wrong, but in good conscience, they are.

As for Jeff Bezos's wife, Liang Yifei didn't know anything.

I only heard that I went back to my hometown and pretended to be forced to scatter money and bring my wife, but I didn't listen to the lecture and sent someone to investigate and send my wife.

"Mrs. Bezos is Mr. Bezos's first assistant, she is a very deep and intelligent woman, and even ......" On the other end of the phone, Sun Dawei hesitated and said, "I even think that to some extent, Mrs. Bezos is the one who decides." ”

"How did you feel this way?" Liang Yifei didn't believe Sun Dawei, but if Sun Dawei said it was true, then this Mrs. Bezuosi was very important, enough to attract twelve points of attention, and should also prescribe the right medicine for her reception and communication.

"During our chat, Mrs. Bezos always stayed quietly with her, not much to say, but by no means a foil or a vase, and often at a few key points, she would speak, and I thought about it later, her several openings were all supplements and reminders to Mr. Bezos," said Sun Dawei. ”

"What is the relationship between their husband and wife?" asked Liang Yifei.

"I have investigated, they are both from Wall Street, met at a financial conference, when Mr. Bezos resigned from the executive to found Amazon, many people did not understand, but Mrs. Bezos is very supportive of Mr. Bezos, and Mr. Bezos also respects his wife very much......"

On the other end of the phone, Sun Dawei said, suddenly sneering, looking very unserious.

Without waiting for Liang Yifei to ask, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I think of the two of them...... Headmaster, this is not very polite to them, but I really think that the two of them look very husband and wife, and their looks are a little funny, like a pair of comedics. ”

"At least it's better than a serious-looking one. Liang Yifei also laughed, Sun Dawei is really an authentic Chinese, foreigners generally do not judge other people's appearances, except for celebrities, but Chinese have these gossip minds, even if it is a foreigner like Sun Dawei, the so-called successful person like Liang Yifei has a more vulgar side.

After a little joke, Son straightened his tone and continued: "If the Amazon is compared to a ship, and Mr. Bezos is the captain who leads the ship forward, then Mrs. Bezos, I think, is more like keeping the ship steady with rudders and anchors." ”

"You have a very high opinion of this. Liang Yifei snorted and said, "When are you coming?"

"Will it work this weekend?" Sun Dawei probably felt that it was too fast, and explained: "Principal, I think that the sooner you do this kind of thing, the better, if it drags on for a long time, who knows if any investment bank has taken a fancy to Amazon and injected a large amount of money into it, and then you want to invest again, the difficulty will increase sharply, just like Yahoo before." Mr. Adams doesn't want investment banks to come in for the time being, but it's a matter of time. ”

"It's no problem with the time, you can come with me. By the way, you're still studying, so you're running around like this, can you coordinate the lesson?" Liang Yifei said.

"I went to coordinate with the professors, and Stanford was more supportive of student club activities. Sun Dawei said.

Liang Yifei thought for a while and said, "In terms of school, you don't have to worry too much, if there is a problem with the curriculum, causing you to postpone your graduation or even fail to graduate, I will arrange it for you." Also, what are the current financial difficulties?"

"There is no difficulty, the start-up capital you gave is very sufficient, and our financial support for international students is not in vain, but low-interest loans, these loans themselves are assets, if there is really no money, I can use these loans to go to the bank to mortgage and borrow again. ”

Sun Dawei is very suitable for the capitalist economy.

As for Liang Yifei's academic concerns, he really doesn't have anything.

The cultural relics he learned were sold to the emperor's family, and he came out to study, didn't he just want to have a good future, and he could get rare experience in all aspects of the overseas investigation meeting with Liang Yifei, and he would have already begun to talk about a business of millions of dollars at every turn; if he took 10,000 steps back, even if the overseas investigation meeting did not do a good job, Sun Dawei absolutely believed that Liang Yifei would not abandon him.

There is such a rare opportunity, it is strange that you don't want to grasp it.

"Don't do it as a last resort, foreigners may think it's normal, but after all, the overseas survey will be mainly for international students, and there are many international students in Asia, so it's easy for people to think that we are a leather bag company and use them to make money, which is contrary to our original intention. Liang Yifei said.

Sun Dawei was slightly shocked, it was originally his little cleverness, but he really didn't expect this.

I chatted with Sun Dawei about the current development of the meeting, after all, the time for him to go back was too short, so he could only start, and recruited a few people to start the preparatory stage.

Now the main expenses are apartment rent, buying two second-hand Fords, and a few people's daily food and drink, and a small allowance.

The biggest expense is communication.

There are also some 'temporary workers' who help with errands.

Among the first few teams, Sun Dawei was eliminated, one woman and three men.

Two of the three men went out in the new era, they were very familiar with Gu Wenming, they had seen Liang Yifei, and they knew that they were helping Liang Yifei to work, and the two little boys expressed two positive emotions: unbelievable and obligatory;

The girl's family is an intellectual, and she was sent out directly without training, for ordinary people, sending someone abroad is almost bankrupt, the little girl is working and studying abroad, and her life is very hard, she was originally working in a pizza restaurant, but she was bullied by blacks several times when she almost passed by a black neighborhood, and the place gave only half of the salary of the Chinese, and there was no tip to take, after Sun Dawei learned of the situation, he directly hired this girl to be a secretary.

This opportunity was not easy to get, and the girl was quite able to endure hardships, which helped Sun Dawei reduce a lot of chores.

The last man is a serious 'American hukou', called Jerry Chen, his grandfather is said to have followed Kong Xiangxi in the Ministry of Finance before the liberation, and immigrated to the United States before the liberation, three generations later, Jerry Chen is already an authentic American child, more familiar with the United States than China.

However, there are some things in his bones that are difficult to change, Jerry Chan is a library staff member at Stanford, relatively leisurely, and when he heard that the Overseas Investigation Association was established to help international students, especially Chinese students in Asia, he took the initiative to ask to join in to help.

Sounds like all nice guys.

"I know, economically, there is no need to be too economical, as long as it is not extravagant, it should still be used. Liang Yifei said.

"Hmm. Also, there was a situation where I didn't know whether to touch it or not. Sun Dawei said.

Chinese abroad are not all international students, including those like Jerry Chen, who have long passed, have green cards, some smugglers who have no status, and those who have passed through family immigration, investment immigration or other means, have legal status but are not studying.

After all, the Chinese in the new era are still a very small minority in the United States.

Then Chinese abroad, finding a job is a troublesome thing, even if the rich people who invested in the past, due to the concept of language skills, identity, education, etc., it is difficult to find a job, and the salary is lower than that of the same Americans, and most of them can only engage in extremely low-end jobs, washing dishes and the like.

Stanford has a few Chinese handymen, complicated cleaning, after learning that there is an overseas research meeting, I came to ask Sun Dawei if there are some better job introductions, or if you can help them.

Liang Yifei and Sun Dawei made it very clear at the beginning that helping people, in addition to being compatriots, is more purposeful to cultivate talents, make friends with talents, and help talents when they are in difficulty;

But these people don't seem to be within the scope of Liang Yifei's target group, and Sun Dawei doesn't dare to make decisions on his own.

"That's right. Liang Yifei thought for a while and said: "It can't be said that these people at the bottom must not be talents, talents have high education, and there are also low education from the reckless dust, now they are not talents, there are suitable training opportunities, maybe they will be talents in the future." ”

"And ...... we?"

"That's the case, black households, smuggled past, nothing touches, other people, you can leave relevant information at the sea survey meeting, if we have this resource, we can help him recommend. That's all, but the loan is not good, the loan can only be issued to international students from prestigious universities in the United States, in principle, mainly science and engineering. ”
