NO.12: Coming to you across the ocean
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next piece will taste like. This classic line from the movie "Forrest Gump" tells us www.biquge.info that life is never static, and accidents always come suddenly.
Before, Shen Yang didn't have much feeling about this sentence, but since he came to this world, one after another things have happened, Shen Yang just can't feel it deeply.
For example, now, a person Shen Yang has never seen, and the never seen here not only refers to not only having never seen that person's face, but also not hearing that person's voice. Also, there are people who the original owner has never met, which is especially important.
An inexplicable phone rang suddenly, Shen Yang connected, and then a voice came from the other side.
"Hello, I'm Li Yunzi, you shouldn't know me, I'm Li Chengbing's daughter, let's talk."
An extremely pleasant female voice, calm and clear, speaking with a slight eagerness, as if walking, yes, talking on the phone while walking.
When Shen Yang heard the people inside say Li Chengbing, he knew what was going on, and at that moment, he spoke without a trace of hesitation, and his voice was a little low, as if there was no trace of emotion.
"Okay, Y&F Cafe next to X Big, I'll be there in ten minutes."
“OK!”
After saying it to the other side, he hung up cleanly.
Shen Yang looked at the books in his hand, "Internationalization of Venture Capital", "Venture Capital Practice and Exploration", and "American Venture Capital Limited Partnership", all of which were found on the original owner's desk.
By the way, these books are all in English, and Shen Yang struggled to think about it in his English, which had just passed the fourth level, and finally translated the names of the books after hard thinking.
Why not read the Chinese version, the English version is so laborious.
Later, Shen Yang learned that in 2004, domestic academic research on investment was relatively backward, and many things had just begun, and as for those more famous Chinese academic books in later generations, there was no trace of them until now.
The books themselves are nothing, they are all venture capital, and it can be seen that the original owner is very interested in VC investment. Why do you say this, because the book draws in circles, not only taking notes, but also writing your own thoughts and opinions.
If you are not really interested, no one will bother to read these foreign language professional books, it is too difficult.
The pages are half-new, and when you open the front of the book, there is something written on it.
Purchased July 15, 2003 at Borders Bookstore, Manhattan, New York.
All three books were bought at the same time, almost a year ago. If it is not bad, the original owner should have been interested in VC investment at that time.
The original owner majored in business administration, but according to the situation of his school, he didn't like this major, and his academic performance was also average.
During the internship in the last year, I didn't go to the internship unit for an internship, but stayed here to read books, or went out to fool around together. This would explain why he hasn't found a job until now.
In 2004, Shen Yang was only 15 years old at the time, and he was in his first year of high school at that time.
At that time, college students were still very valuable, unlike later generations, when college students were still elite, and only a few people could go to it, unlike later generations when universities expanded their enrollment, and elite education became mass education.
Although the original owner didn't study well, he was also a graduate of a key university, and he must have something extraordinary. For example, now, the original owner has mastered pure English books, and Shen Yang's English has only passed the fourth level, and he has forgotten everything after working for several years.
The original owner was not useless, for Shen Yang in later generations, he should be an existence that must be looked up to, Shen Yang suddenly felt a little pressure.
There was a little bit of an honor, but more of a bit of pressure.
Shen Yang looked at the books, and suddenly felt that he had to work hard, the original owner's English was very good, and he definitely couldn't show his stuff. As for the character interests of the original owner, these have to be taken slowly.
Come on! Shen Yang, you can do it!
Just when Shen Yang was thinking like this, an unfamiliar phone call arrived, it was the phone of the person who called himself Li Yunzi.
Coming out of the apartment, Shen Yang walked to the café.
The apartment is in the neighborhood next to the school, and the café is not far away, which is not a 10-minute walk.
Walking into the café, Shen Yang came for the second time today, and the last time was in the morning.
After greeting the waiter, Shen Yang looked around, and soon, Shen Yang locked on to someone.
In the afternoon, there are more customers in the café, and there are almost no vacant seats in the nearly 200-square-meter shop. Most of the seats were filled with two people, either as a couple or as friends, and only a few were alone.
Shen Yang locked on a girl, she was wearing a black coat, and her hair was naturally draped over her shoulders. Shen Yang couldn't see her face here, he could only see her back.
She put her hands on the table, with a cup of coffee of unknown brand in front of her, stirring with a coffee spoon in her hand.
Why did Shen Yang notice her at once, of course, because she was different, nothing else, mainly because her temperament was different from that of X college students, and even the temperament of domestic college students.
Shen Yang walked over and didn't stand in front of her until he saw her face, a girl in her twenties, very young, who seemed to be still in school.
"Is it Li Yunzi?"
“OK! Pleasesitdown.” She, Li Yunzi spoke a little coldly.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Yang was shocked, she was really not an ordinary person, according to her proficient spoken language, she should be an international student who had just returned from abroad.
If the original owner was sitting here, he would definitely be able to clearly distinguish whether Li Yunzi was speaking American spoken English or British English, while Shen Yang was obviously not so high.
Shen Yang was very depressed, this woman should be very weak today, and she should even be inferior, but she is unusually strong, is this her character.
Shen Yang didn't know, but he didn't want to care so much, he just wanted this woman to bow her head.
"Your dad killed my mom, let's say, what are you going to do?"
