In the next few days, Xu Qing followed his family to visit some people, but fortunately, the people who visited were basically in San Francisco, and Xu Qing did not feel tired.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qing gave red envelopes to his employees and dealt with the backlog of work during the Spring Festival.

At 7 p.m. on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Qing came to Nelson's villa, and tonight he was going to meet Peter Shengji.

A few days ago, he called Nelson and asked him to help him meet Peter Shengji, and Nelson immediately agreed, saying that he would meet Peter Shengji at his villa three days later.

Nelson's housekeeper Charles greeted Xu Qing at the door of the villa, and Xu Qing was surprised.

Xu Qing learned more about Nielsen from his grandfather before he came, and knew that Charles was not an ordinary housekeeper, but one of Nielsen's most trusted people, and his status was very high.

The people who can be greeted by Charles at the door of the villa are all big people, and with Xu Qing's current strength, he is not qualified to be greeted by Charles.

In fact, the last time he participated in the Graham charity gala, Xu Qing was already a little puzzled, and when Nelson met him for the first time, he gave him a business card.

Grandpa said that Nielsen's business cards are rare, and almost only one big man will get Nielsen's business card.

Xu Qing is not a big man now, although his net worth has reached 1 billion US dollars, his strength is weaker than many people with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Because money does not represent real strength, there are many things that can constitute a person's strength, such as power, networking, and so on.

"Mr. Charles, I felt very honored that you had met me at the door of the villa. "If others are polite to you, Xu Qing will naturally be polite.

Charles smiled and said, "Mr. Xu doesn't have to be polite, you are the person that the master values, and he should greet you at the door." ”

"Can you tell me what that means?" asked Xu Qing.

"You can ask the host when you have a chance later. Charles continued to smile.

Xu Qing saw that it was impossible for Charles to answer his question, so he didn't speak again.

Entering the living room, Xu Qing saw Nelson drinking coffee with a middle-aged man dressed casually.

When the two heard the voice, they turned their heads to look at Xu Qing, and Nelson beckoned with a smile: "Xu Qing, come, try my coffee skills." ”

Xu Qing sat across from Nelson, and Peter Shengji and Nelson sat in the same row of sofas.

Xu Qing took a sip of coffee and praised: "It's delicious, at least it's better than the coffee I brewed." ”

"Your coffee, your craft?" said Nelson, laughing.

"I'm good at making tea. Xu Qing said embarrassedly.

He drank so much coffee that he still couldn't evaluate the quality of the coffee and the craftsmanship of the people who made it.

"Cunning. Nelson laughed, then turned his head and asked the middle-aged man, "Peter, what do you think of this kid?"

Xu Qing also looked at Peter Shengji, wondering his first impression of himself.

"It's funny. This was Peter's first impression of Xu Qing.

"It's been a long time since I've heard you use the word funny to evaluate a person, you two talk, I'll go first, there's a beautiful woman waiting for me upstairs. ”

Nelson said to go, without waiting for Xu Qing to speak, Nelson had already walked to the staircase, looking at Nelson's vigorous posture, could there really be a beautiful woman upstairs.

"Hello Mr. Peter, I'm Xu Qing, I'm glad you agreed to meet me. Xu Qing stretched out his hand.

Peter also stretched out his hand, the two shook it, and then let go, Peter smiled: "Mr. Xu is a billion-dollar billionaire, the richest person under the age of 20 in the world, how could I refuse to meet." ”

"Mostly luck, having written two books and releasing an unexpectedly popular electronic pet. "Xu Qing is very modest.

Peter shook his head: "To be too modest is to be hypocritical, and luck is part of strength." ”

Xu Qing already had a preliminary understanding of Peter's character, and changed his way of speaking: "Mr. Peter, let me say it directly, don't waste everyone's time, I want to ask you to be my management consultant." ”

"Do you know how many people want to hire me as a management consultant?" Peter did not directly answer Xu Qing's question.

Xu Qing smiled: "I think the person who wants to ask Mr. Peter to be a management consultant can row from Mr. Nelson's villa to the Golden Gate Bridge." ”

"That's a funny thing to say. Peter praised: "So far, I've only worked as a management consultant for 5 people, Warren Buffett, Murdoch, Jobs, Ellison, Gates, do you know why?"

Peter is so good, these 5 people are all top people, people who can influence the world, Xu Qing is now very far from them, can Peter agree to be his management consultant?

"I know why very well, these five people are all top people. Xu Qing said.

"I chose which person to be a management consultant, not based on his strength, there was once a person stronger than these five people asked me to be a management consultant, I refused.

Actually, I didn't have a clear standard, I just gradually learned whether the people who invited me were talking to me and whether they were worthy of me as a management consultant.

So I may end the conversation with you for a few minutes, or I may talk for a few hours, but I need to start by saying that the length of the conversation does not indicate my inclination.

It is possible that after a few minutes of talking to you, I may agree to be your management consultant. ”

"If there is anything you want to ask, Mr. Peter, I believe I can make you my management consultant. Xu Qing's expression was confident.

"I like your confidence. Peter complimented and asked, "Can you tell us about your plans for the future?"

How does it feel like an interview, Xu Qing is the interviewer, Peter is the interviewer, and Xu Qing used to ask this question when interviewing job applicants.

Xu Qing organized the language and polished what he had said at the Sunlight Group meeting as the answer to this question.

Peter didn't comment on Xu Qing's answer, and asked another question:

"I heard that some time ago, you sent more than 10 managers who embezzled the company's assets to the police station, why did you take this method, and many companies deal with this situation by dismissal.

Your approach has been slammed by many people for being too callous and not following the rules. ”

Xu Qing immediately answered this question, and the content of his answer was the same as what he thought when he sent those people into the police station, tolerating a certain degree of willfulness, but challenging the bottom line, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Peter still didn't comment on Xu Qing's answer, and continued to ask a question, Xu Qing replied, and Peter asked several questions one after another, and Xu Qing answered them one by one.

"My questions have been asked, and Mr. Xu can ask me questions now. ”

"Did Mr. Peter agree to be my management consultant?"

"That's it? You don't ask any other questions, and I'll give you the answer to your question at the end of the conversation. Peter was stunned.

"No, as long as you can agree to be my management consultant, I can ask any questions I want to ask in the future. Xu Qing smiled.

"Cunning!"
