Chapter 288: First Confrontation
Hu Ning has a very cheerful personality, and after Liu Chang introduced it, she greeted several people one by one with a smile on her face.
After all, the first time I saw it, it was a little rusty, there was nothing to talk about, and there was something serious to talk about, so Liu Chang whispered a few words to Hu Ning, and a few people left first.
Xu Xiaoyu grabbed Liu Chang's arm and asked, "Sister Chang, this friend of yours is really a doctor of CMU's CS major?"
"That's still false. Liu Chang said with a smile: "Hu Ning is the real scholar, do you know, the 96-level computer major was originally a five-year system, but it was suddenly changed to a four-year system in the senior year, and many people's plans to study abroad have been disrupted." β
"You don't need me to introduce you, you must also know that CMU is the first choice for computer majors to go abroad, don't look at the Tsinghua 96 class of people who are usually better than the other, it really comes to a critical time, only Hu Ning in the whole college has got the admission letter of Carnegie Mellon University. β
Chen Qiaoshan was a little strange, "Didn't you say that Zhuang Li's grades were the first every year?"
Liu Chang couldn't help laughing, "What's so strange about this, there are a lot of people with GPAs close to full scores in Peking University, right? Zhuang Li is the secretary of the Youth League, she must have an advantage, and she has two of them every time she gets a scholarship, but if it is really better than scientific research ability, Hu Ning is still better." β
Zhuang Li is not bad, she didn't go out after graduating from undergraduate, and only got an offer from MIT after getting a master's degree in 02, but in order to be with her boyfriend, the two ended up going to UC Berkeley. β
"Junin has taken two master's degrees in the United States at the same time and has passed the PhD candidate exam, so she should be the first in the class of '96 to get a Ph.D. β
Chen Qiaoshan is a little embarrassed, the gap between this person and others is too big, he definitely doesn't have to think about it, it depends on whether the three younger sisters have any hope of being a school bully, but the fifth may not have much hope, but the third and fourth may still be possible.
"It would be nice to recruit Junin to Kangsheng. Inexplicably, Dai Zhikang interjected.
Xu Xiaoyu glared at her boyfriend and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Juning wants to be good-looking, capable and capable, such a person is the focus wherever he is placed, but any woman may feel that he is a huge threat.
"If she comes to us, won't Kangsheng be able to move into the software park justifiably?" Dai Zhikang's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, maybe programmers are like this, thinking about problems and never focusing on the goal, not paying attention to the outside.
Xu Xiaoyu glanced at her boyfriend, but she didn't say anything.
Chen Qiaoshan has long known that Dai Zhikang has been thinking about entering the software park, after all, it is a national-level industrial park, and with this halo, it is much more convenient to do anything.
In the eyes of most people, entering the software park is equivalent to gaining official recognition, but in Chen Qiaoshan's view, it is just a saving of expenses, and perhaps without those constraints, it may develop faster.
"Don't think about it, CMU's CS major has long been targeted by companies like google, not to mention PHD, even ordinary undergraduates are in short supply. β
Dai Zhikang's face was slightly embarrassed, "I'm just casually saying that Hu Ning is taking US dollars like this, and we can't afford to hire Kangsheng." β
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Brother Dai, don't worry, maybe it won't be long before the software park is still begging to let us in." β
"That's a good feeling, Kangsheng is really going to enter the software park, I invite everyone to go down to the restaurant, and choose the location at will. β
Chen Qiaoshan said: "Don't pick it when the time comes, I think it's good." Dai Zhikang thought so, he looked around, and said with a look of approval: "It's really good here." β
The two of them are whimsical here, Xu Xiaoyu and Liu Chang both look disgusted, and their dream talk in broad daylight is indeed a bit eye-catching.
β¦β¦
The meeting place is about the cafΓ© here, the VIP building is a four-story Chinese-style building, there is no elevator, both the architecture and decoration are very old-fashioned.
The cafΓ© is on the right side of the lobby of the VIP building, there is no sign at the door, at first glance, I thought it was a Western restaurant, obvious nineties style, the space is not small and the grade is high enough, but the decoration is a little old-fashioned, fortunately, the privacy is good, there are not many people, it is indeed very suitable for business negotiations.
As soon as he was led to the predetermined position by the waiter, he saw a middle-aged man with a square face already sitting there, Chen Qiaoshan was a little surprised, several people had arrived in advance, but they didn't expect the other party to come earlier.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Zhengning from JAFCO Asia. When the middle-aged man saw a few people coming over, he immediately stood up from his seat and introduced himself politely.
Liu Chang stepped forward with a smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm Liu Chang, and we've contacted each other by phone." β
"Hello, Miss Liu, this is my business card, please take care of it in the future. Zhou Zhengning's Mandarin level is very average, with a Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent, but he himself has a two-handful mustache, and he speaks and acts like a Japanese style.
Liu Chang acted as an introducer and made an introduction, and everyone greeted each other for a while, and then sat down.
"What do you want to drink?" Zhou Zhengning said with a smile: "The espresso here is very good, I must order it every time I come, and the taste is very positive." β
Dai Zhikang and Xu Xiaoyu are both stunned, how do they know what coffee is, the studio often works overtime, but there is coffee, but it is instant, not the same thing at all.
Liu Chang knows a little about coffee, but he only understands it.
Chen Qiaoshan smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and beckoned the waiter and said, "Serve two cups of wet cappuccino to the two young ladies, and then a pot of black tea, that's all, thank you." β
"Yes, sir, please wait a minute. After the waiter finished speaking, he politely turned to leave.
Chen Qiaoshan said to the two girls: "The wet cappuccino is relatively light, and the milky flavor overshadows the taste of the coffee, which is a bit similar to a latte, but the aroma is much richer, and it is one of the classics of Italian coffee, which is very good." β
Zhou Zhengning's eyes froze slightly, and then he said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is very interested in coffee?"
"It's not about research, but it's a little bit of a thing. After a pause, he said as if unintentionally: "This cup in front of Mr. Zhou should be Shandos, right?"
Zhou Zhengning was stunned, he just said casually, but he didn't expect to be caught, he said quietly: "Mr. Chen has good eyesight, I just wanted to try the Brazilian flavor today, but I didn't expect to be seen through at a glance, you are really an expert here." β
Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "I can't talk about it, my interest in coffee is far less than my interest in Internet software. β
Several people at the table changed their expressions slightly, and their thoughts were different.
Liu Chang was very puzzled, isn't it just a cup of coffee, how can Chen Qiaoshan tell it, I haven't seen him study it before.
Although Zhou Zhengning was stunned, his face was impassive, and there was no embarrassment.
Chen Qiaoshan glanced at the business card in his hand, Zhou Zhengning, director of JAFCO Co., Ltd., president of Jifu Asia Investment Group.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I take the liberty of asking, Mr. Zhou is not Japanese, right?"
Zhou Zhengning glanced at Chen Qiaoshan, then shook his head and said, "I'm Singaporean." β
"However, I was born in Hong Kong and moved to Singapore with my parents at the age of two. β
Chen Qiaoshan sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't say anything, capital has no borders, but if you really believe the words of the capitalists, it is not naΓ―ve, it is stupid.
