Chapter 453: Impressions Decide Everything

Liang Yifei's question made Ms. McCarthy's translator, an American girl with some freckles on her nose but super long legs, feel disgusted.

Where they are now is on a catering terrace of the Lanyun Lake Catering Department, which is newly built by the Catering Department, without a ceiling, on the open terrace, paved with wooden floors, sitting here to eat, you can overlook the city, and at the foot, is the Lanyun Lake Golf Course.

Thanks to the design of the glass dome, although the weather is still cold, the terrace not only has good lighting, but also does not suffer from the wind at all.

Don't look at the private room, there are only a few casual tables on the terrace that are kept at a certain distance from each other, but the decoration of the whole terrace is simple and luxurious.

In fact, the cost of a terrace is more expensive than a private room.

Therefore, hearing Liang Yifei's question, seeing the so-called 'high-end' environment here, and thinking of the backwardness she sees in the city today, the female translator subconsciously thinks that this young boss is showing off his wealth.

It is very tasteless to use the poverty of one's compatriots to support one's own wealth.

As for whether McCarthy thinks so, it is unknown, at least there is no expression in her expression, just a very direct question.

Liang Yifei glanced at the female translator who did not hide his disgust, and the female translator glared back without showing weakness.

In an instant of eye contact, Liang Yifei did not explain anything to her, but said to McKinsey: "Madam, as far as I know, you are a sociology student, and Mr. Bezos has a background in finance, and even used to be one of the most successful companies in this field in the world. ”

After saying that, he ushered in a big roll of the eyes of the little translator.

This is typical sycophancy.

To tell the truth, even foreigners look down on those who 'despise their compatriots and go to meet foreigners'.

Liang Yifei was a little speechless by this little translator who seemed to have a very good personality, on this occasion, just do your thing, is it your turn to express your emotions?

Also, if you speak English yourself, you will have nothing to do as a translator.

McKinsey seems to have intentionally or unintentionally failed to notice the two eye exchanges between the translator and Liang Yifei, but replied to Liang Yifei's words, saying: "If I were modest, I would say that you have overdone it, but, to be fair, it is so." ”

"Between impartiality and objectivity and modesty, choosing impartiality and objectivity is precisely the quality that sociological researchers should have, and even who is virtuous. ”

Liang Yifei smiled slightly, and then said: "Then I can answer your initial question now, from the perspective of social development, China is backward and poor, but as you said, the people here are kind and warm, and there is a great tide of economic development that has lasted for more than ten years and will continue forever......"

After a pause, he said slowly: "More importantly, there is a population that you think is incredibly large! From the perspective of social research, population is the driving force of social development, and from the perspective of financial investment, population and development are the potential of a country worthy of investment. You're here, you've seen it, and you're your husband and an expert in it, and you're going to understand what it means. So I say, you should rejoice. ”

After speaking, Liang Yifei glanced at the little translator very disrespectfully.

This time, the little translator didn't give Liang Yifei any more eyes, but frowned slightly, as if he was digesting and trying his best to understand what Liang Yifei said just now.

The one who can really answer the conversation is McKinsey.

"Mr. Liang, although from my professional point of view, there are some loopholes in what you said, I must admit that in the current context of China, what you said is very correct and incisive. ”

McKinsey gave Liang a smile that made Liang Yifei want to laugh, and then continued: "Actually, I must admit that hearing these words from the mouths of young Chinese people was in itself very surprising and surprising to me, and it made me full of hope for China's future." But ......"

She smiled again.

This time, Liang Yifei really couldn't hold back and laughed.

McKinsey probably didn't expect Liang Yifei to be 'laughing at her smile', and thought that the other party was responding politely, she nodded slightly and said: "However, what we want to talk about seems to be that you invested in my husband's company, and it was a Chinese businessman who invested in an American company." ”

"Of course. Liang Yifei nodded and said: "I am an amateur social researcher, so what I just said has loopholes, and at the same time, I am also an amateur investor, but I know that to accept investment, or rather, to cooperate, there must be a 'must have' and a 'if you have it would be better'." ”

"Oh?" McKinsey finally looked interested, asking, "That's a very unique way of saying it." ”

Liang Yifei said: "Whether it is to accept investment or investment, it is a kind of cooperation, and the 'necessary condition' for cooperation is to know, understand and trust the collaborators, so I will invite Mr. Sun to go to Amazon for a field trip, and you have come thousands of miles to China to have this conversation with me." It's hard for me to imagine that I would accept someone who I couldn't accept and understand at all to invest in me, and I wouldn't invest in someone like that. ”

McKinsey nodded slightly and said, "If Mr. Sun didn't make a mistake, then your understanding of my husband on the Internet is indeed very consistent." And in the short ten hours since I met you, the conversation between us has indeed made me have a good impression and a certain degree of trust in you, and has eliminated the previous misunderstanding of Chinese businessmen. ”

"Thank you for your trust, it's mutual. Liang Yifei nodded and said: "Then the second 'if you have better conditions', I think, whether you are an investor or an investor, asking for money to report or give is the most basic, but on top of this, if it can also bring other benefits, even long-term benefits, this is the real best person to cooperate." ”

"Oh, I think I see what you mean, if there is no first condition, we don't have to talk about it, and since I approved your first condition, now, should you say something, what can you bring to Amazon?"

Impression is a very important thing, and what Liang Yifei said earlier sounds like it has nothing to do with investing in Amazon, and it seems to be nonsense.

But it is precisely because of these words and the approval of McKinsey that the other party will listen carefully and be willing to think about the next words.

"Three aspects. ”

Liang Yifei said, "First, money. I've already prepared $3 million, and I'm going to keep adding more, and within this year, I can invest $5 million in Amazon. ”

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and saw that McKinsey didn't mean to interject, so he continued: "Second, it's people. I have the largest company in China that sends talents overseas, and Mr. Sun helps me manage a national Chinese student community overseas, and I have many Chinese American relationships, so I can help if Amazon needs talent for development. ”

"We are willing to accept Chinese, but to be fair, there is no shortage of Internet talents in the United States. McKinsey finally interjected.

"And what about their treatment? Of course, it is higher than that of the Chinese. Liang Yifei smiled.

"Definitely. McKinsey nodded.

"In addition, Amazon's online and offline model requires a number of grassroots ...... offline To put it simply, it is a person who works hard, but the labor cost in the United States is very high, and the income of a delivery man may be higher than that of an engineer.

McKinsey smiled knowingly and said, "This can be considered." What about the third point?"

"In the future, if Amazon is willing to enter China, I will provide Amazon with all aspects of convenience, including government relations, personnel recruitment, access to venues, preferential policies and even protection. Liang Yifei said.

This is somewhat deceitful.

In the future, whether China will have its own shopping websites, whether Liang Yifei supports domestic shopping websites or Amazon is a little more, even he is not very sure now.

But it was this foolish sentence that made McKinsey's heart beat hard.

Since the beginning of China's reform and opening up, big European and American brands have all seized this virgin land, and even did not hesitate to exchange core technology for it.

The chat between Dart Sun and Jeff Bezos, the reason why Jeff Bezos was interested in Chinese investors, and even sent her to inspect it himself, was to see for himself what the current situation in China was like.

In other words, we have taken a fancy to the big market of China.

Jeff Bezos and McKinsey are not small minions to start a business, they have rich experience and accurate vision, and the United States is on the Internet outlet, they are confident that Amazon will definitely succeed.

But just how successful is it?

The world is round, and no world-class company can completely ignore the existence of the Eastern Hemisphere, and as long as the Eastern Hemisphere does not actively exclude it, any American company is willing to enter.

In the traditional manufacturing industry, which cannot catch up with those century-old enterprises, in finance, there are political barriers, so in the Internet, which is an emerging industry for the whole world, the Bezos couple have a unified understanding: strive to open the oriental market as soon as possible and be one step ahead.

In the eastern market, the largest is naturally China.

As for how much this Liang Yifei can help in the future, this is uncertain now.

However, with McKinsey's understanding of China, if companies achieve a certain level, they do have a lot of energy in China that Americans can't imagine.

And the young man in front of her really made her very optimistic.
