Chapter 020: Take the initiative
Following Roger to an ordinary-looking bar, he was caught by the men and women gathered at the door, and it seemed that he had to make a reservation to enter. The car was handed over to the parking man, and Roger led them forward, and when a big man tried to stop them, he took out a black card, shook it, and was let go.
Feeling An Feng's gaze, Roger explained: "This is a private bar club, and some celebrities often appear, so the venue is full, and ordinary people can only make an appointment a few days in advance if they want to come in, or become a member of it." Another way is to take the top card of Amex like me. ”
"Centurion?" An Feng took the credit card handed to him by Roger, and weighed it very lightly, it was said to be made of titanium alloy, and the holder was either rich or expensive.
"Amex will decide whether to issue it according to the customer's consumption. It has a minimum amount of spending, but it doesn't have a cap on the credit limit, can be overdrawn heavily, can have private services, and has access to top venues. I just had to show this card and they would let it go unconditionally. ”
An Feng asked, "What do you think are the current chances that I will be invited?" ”
Roger thought for a moment: "According to your consumption, you are our candidate." If you spend a few more big ones, I guarantee you. ”
"Like today?" An Feng asked.
"Yes, that's the amount of money you spend." Roger said.
"It's too easy." An Feng said.
Roger smiled and said, "I've been talking to you for so long, and just this sentence makes me feel like a rich man." ”
I found a seat with a sofa, it was still early, and there were not many guests at the bar. An Feng found that in addition to the decoration being particularly creative and the space being particularly spacious, he couldn't see what was attractive. Instead, the girls were in high spirits and chattered about gossip about the bar.
"That's pretty ordinary, isn't it?" An Feng said in wonder.
Roger shrugged with a champagne glass: "Who knows, there are quite a lot of people, but for me, it's just a place for fun." ”
With this attitude, An Feng said in his heart that he still had to learn.
chatting with Roger about some topics of interest, talking and pulling from the car to the girls, from the conversation, I learned that Roger and the Latino female companion he brought had just known each other for a long time, but this guy was able to hug and kiss in front of a group of people, which made An Feng a little uncomfortable.
It's not that he doesn't have this, but as a traditional Oriental, if he wants to change his concept, he is somewhat unaccustomed to it, and after a few glasses of wine, he has come with confidence and let go.
Listening to An Feng's ridicule, Roger smiled and said, "Bruce is the most compatible with the Chinese I've ever seen." Do you know the truth? Other ethnic Chinese are either too rigid or have too different ideas, and they are only immersed in their own small groups. But he's different, he's special. ”
"To our special Bruce!" Roger stood up and spoke to everyone.
They raised their glasses one after another, and An Feng followed. Roger sat down and said, "A few days later, there will be a private jewelry launch in Los Angeles, and at the same time, some of the jewelry will be auctioned for charity, and there will be businessmen, politicians, and some celebrities and the like, are you interested?" ”
"And," Roger smiled at Jenny, "asking for a female companion." ”
An Feng was stunned, what kind of eyes did Roger have? As if he had some kind of adultery with Jenny, Cathy smiled and said, "I heard that there are often some producers, directors and the like there, if you can talk a few words, maybe you can get a big chance, Jenny?" ”
"May I?" Jenny looked at An Feng with anticipation, her eyes were big, and her pupils were a little light blue, beautiful and moving.
"As long as you want." An Feng said with a smile.
"Yay!" She happily hugged An Feng.
Roger said, "Bruce, it's not wrong for you to go and get to know the local wealthy businessmen and councillors, and in some cases it will be helpful for you." ”
This is to pull yourself to support so-and-so camp, right? An Feng thought to himself, he didn't mind, who wouldn't want to be both rich and powerful? It can be used as a shield at a critical moment, even in a place like the United States, which also pays attention to relationships - the relationship between green Franklin.
Later in the day, they each dispersed and exchanged phone numbers with Jenny, but they were not as glamorous as they imagined. When he appeared, he saw the two girls driving away, and Roger, who came out, touched him with his elbow and said with a smile: "Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity, the two girls are good." ”
"Please, the other party didn't mean that." An Feng rolled his eyes.
"Opportunities have always been created by you on your own initiative, and there is nothing you can't do if you want to. I'll just ask you, what do you think of Jenny? ”
"She's beautiful and cheerful, but we've just met, haven't we?"
"Who cares? Do you see me thinking about this? Just the right one – even if it's just for one night! Roger laughed, "Who says you have to be boyfriend and girlfriend in the end?" My shy Oriental friends, let go and enjoy your beautiful rich life! ”
After saying that, Roger staggered into an extended Lincoln on the side of the road with two beautiful women in his arms, and said goodbye to him with a victor's smile.
"Damn! No righteousness! An Feng said disdainfully, took out his mobile phone, and found a substitute driver for himself.
……
When I woke up the next day, I received a call from Tylan.
The other party considered the actual situation and suggested that Anfeng's two patents be valued at 8 million to inject shares into the company, accounting for 30% of the share, as for the sale of Anfeng's hope, they were not interested, or did not have this ability, and the company's development encountered a bottleneck in core technology.
An Feng didn't agree immediately, he needed to think about it. I opened the mailbox and there was a reply from another company, dialed the number, and chatted for about ten minutes, they wanted to buy, but the valuation was not high, four million was their limit, because Anfeng could not guarantee the actual effect.
An Feng refused, believing that his patent far exceeded this value.
He had been thinking about it all morning, and there were only two companies that were interested at the moment, one of which offered a price that he was satisfied with, but could only be exchanged for a dry share, and the other had the money to take it, but unfortunately it was less than half of what he expected, and the price was too low for him to sell.
This step did not go as smoothly as he expected.
"Damn, what are you doing with high technology? Pending specials? An Feng rolled on the ** depressedly, "Stupid earthling! ”
After complaining for a long time, a flash of light suddenly flashed.
Since I am not satisfied with either option, why should I passively accept it instead of taking the initiative myself? Tailan's interest is very strong, but unfortunately he can't draw out the funds, he learned that Tailan's reputation and service are good, but the competitiveness of core products is insufficient, and it is weakening day by day.
Therefore, An Feng's skills are very important to their turnaround.
What if you invest in a few more patents and increase your shareholding to 51%, or even higher?
After the holding, let the company develop according to its own ideas, change from passive to active, then this batch of advanced technology from the future will definitely be carried forward, right?
"You're such a genius!" An Feng jumped up excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes!" But I'll have to ask Ray to find me an analyst or a personal assistant. ”
The inconsistency between An Feng's thoughts and actions boils down to one word: lazy.
Since he has a lot of money, he first thinks of enjoying this aspect, in addition to what he is interested in, he can let others do it on his behalf, he is only responsible for paying for it. That is, it is a kind of hands-off shopkeeper spirit: a few phone calls for official and private affairs, and the secretary arranges.
Throwing away the phone, he let out a long sigh of relief, and the nerve-wracking things were still handled by someone who was good at it. All he had to do was make the final move, nod or shake his head.
