Chapter 070: Philatelic Fetish
"It's a lot of fun, it's late, the cross-sea tunnel is very blocked today!" Li Xuan walked into the box and immediately waved his hand to everyone to apologize.
"Xuan Shao, we thought that today's ** Festival, you were kidnapped by that beautiful girl halfway, and you were going to release our pigeons!" Among the few people present, Du Wenqiang was the most familiar with Li Xuan, and he opened his mouth to laugh.
"Originally, I was going to invite everyone to dinner, but considering that today is a special day, everyone may be busy in the evening, so I just asked you to have lunch together!" Li Xuan sat down and said.
"It's because you're very busy, shouldn't you have to run a few times at night!" Du Fatty's mouth began to be cheap again.
"You dead fat man, are you ready to take revenge on the society if you don't want it!" Li Xuan scolded with a smile, "You see how beautiful Sister Ying is dressed today, you don't need to ask to know that there must be an appointment in the evening!"
"Xuan Shao, do you mean that I wasn't beautiful before?" Wang Ying, who was sitting next to Li Xuan, asked with a smile.
"Haha!" Everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they saw that Li Xuan couldn't answer.
"It was beautiful before, but it's even more beautiful today!" Li Xuan hurriedly remedied.
"Xuan Shao's words, as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was very perfunctory! Alas, people are old and yellow!" Wang Ying deliberately showed a resentful expression of self-pity and self-pity, revealing the young woman's mature and glamorous charming style.
"Sister Ying, can't I be wrong!" Li Xuan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Fat boy, hurry up and order nine hundred and ninety-nine roses for me, I want to make amends to Sister Ying!"
"No, I'm all vice presidents, okay, what a shame I'll do if I find your assistant for this kind of errand in the future!" Du Wenqiang deliberately turned his head to the side and ignored Li Xuan.
In the midst of jokes and ridicule, everyone quickly became familiar and enthusiastic. Today is the first gathering of several executives of Dongfang Electronics. There are a total of five people, boss Li Xuan, executive president Han Peng, vice president of operations He Guoyuan, executive vice president Wang Ying, and vice president of research and development Du Wenqiang.
Han Peng has been non-stop during this time, and the management of Dongfang Electronics Company has searched for suitable talents everywhere, and finally determined most of the middle and senior positions before the year. Wang Ying was recruited by Han Peng from Kaida Toy Factory, one of the largest toy manufacturing companies in Hong Kong, with more than 1,500 employees. Another Ho Kwok Yuen, who has just turned 30 this year, was previously the manufacturing director of Philips Hong Kong.
After Li Xuan and Zeng Zhiwei and others came to FLM last time, he felt that the food here tasted good, so he specially set today's meeting place at FLM. He, the big boss, hadn't arrived before, and the others were naturally reserved and refused to order first.
Li Xuan was entertaining everyone for the first time, so he couldn't look shabby, he had already booked five three-headed abalone a few days in advance. Originally, he wanted to order a double-headed abalone, but Fu Linmen didn't have it for the time being, so he retreated to the second best place and chose the three-headed abalone.
Li Xuan asked the waiter to bring the menu, and opened the menu of Fu Linmen, which was preceded by precious dishes such as abalone, shark fin, and sea cucumber. But from the third page onwards, it is no different from the dishes of ordinary tea restaurants and food stalls, pineapple slurp pork, salt and pepper pork ribs, and fried chicken breast with lemon are all the most ordinary Hong Kong-style stir-fry, and even the name has not been changed to a more high-end atmosphere.
Although it is similar to the food stalls outside, each dish here is made with high-quality ingredients and meticulous workmanship, which will always attract discerning diners. Liu Xuan ordered two more dishes and handed the menu to Wang Ying next to him.
After a round of turns, each person ordered two dishes, plus the abalone ordered before, a total of eleven dishes, Li Xuan felt that it was almost enough, so he didn't add any more dishes. Taking advantage of the gap before the food was served, everyone casually chatted about some interesting things about their past.
"How did you think that you would go to Taiwan and Bay to study at university?" Li Xuan asked He Guoyuan curiously.
"The tuition fees are cheap! I wanted to find a job to earn money directly after graduating from high school, but unfortunately Hong Kong's economic situation was not good in those years, and it was difficult to find a satisfactory job with a secondary school diploma. Many of my classmates went to HKU, CUHK, or went directly to Europe and the United States to continue their studies.
At that time, my results in the entrance examination did not meet the scholarship standards of the two universities in Hong Kong, and my own expenses were too expensive for my family to support! It happened that a relative of my family came back from Taiwan, and he told me that it was very economical to go to Taiwan to study, and that 100 Hong Kong dollars per month for studying and living expenses was enough!
He Guoyuan's tone was very indifferent when he talked about his study experience, but everyone else could feel a bit of embarrassment and bitterness behind the words.
Li Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked up at He Guoyuan, who was sitting directly opposite him, his eyes were shining, and he was a little eager. But He Guoyuan was still immersed in the emotion and nostalgia for the past years and did not notice it, and Li Xuan quickly lowered his head to hide the strangeness he had just now.
He Guoyuan, no wonder Li Xuan always felt a little familiar with this name when he met him for the first time a few days ago. At that time, Li Xuan, accompanied by Han Peng, had afternoon tea with He Guoyuan, and talked about the other party's past work experience and his views on working in Dongfang Electronics Company.
He Guoyuan has successively worked in production management, material planning control, quality control and other positions, with rich experience and his own deep understanding of the consumer electronics industry.
kwokyuenho, Li Xuan in his previous life, heard more of his English name. He and Huang founded ATI and NVIDIA, respectively, which were once the world's two largest graphics card companies.
It's a pity that ATI in the previous life was acquired by AMD as early as 2006, and when Li Xuan graduated with a master's degree, the ATI brand had also been abandoned by AMD and became a cloud of the past.
ATI's He Guoyuan, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang, Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, YouTube's Chen Shijun, LamResearch's Lin Jieping, and Synnex's Huang Deci are all entrepreneurial heroes admired by countless Chinese engineers in Silicon Valley.
In fact, ATI founded by He Guoyuan cannot be regarded as a real Silicon Valley company, ATI is headquartered in Ontario, Canada. Most of the Chinese giants in Silicon Valley's IT industry were born in Taiwan, and Ho is one of the few founders from Hong Kong.
In the early 80s, the Chinese and British governments wrestled over Hong Kong's return to the motherland, triggering violent social unrest in Hong Kong and causing the first wave of immigration. It was at this time that He Guoyuan immigrated to Canada with his friends.
Like other Hong Kong immigrants, Ho Kwok-yuen came to Canada and suddenly realized that there were far fewer job opportunities here than in Hong Kong. It is almost impossible for him to find another high-paying job with the same salary of $500,000 a year as before he left Hong Kong. So He Guoyuan took out one-third of his savings and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship with several other Hong Kong immigrants.
While listening to everyone's conversation, Li Xuan also interjected a few words from time to time, but the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared. He found that when he saw these celebrities who could only look up to in his previous life, his mentality became more and more indifferent.
When he went to San Francisco to attend the Western Electronics Show, he ran to the Apple booth like a pilgrim, hoping to have a casual encounter with Apple's two founders. But now, a future IT tycoon has become his younger brother, and his excitement only lasted for a few dozen seconds, and he soon regained his calm.
On the contrary, he had a kind of philatelic pleasure in his heart. I suddenly found that the stamp I bought back contained a treasure with a lot of room for future appreciation, and the joy was like drinking honey, and it was refreshing to the bottom of my heart.
The atmosphere of the whole lunch was very relaxed, and everyone did not talk much about work, but talked about all kinds of gossip and interesting things. After the Spring Festival holiday, Han Peng, He Guoyuan, Wang Ying and other high-level executives will officially come to Dongfang Electronics to take up their new positions. Today's dinner party allows everyone to get to know each other in advance and lay a good foundation for the next work together.
