Chapter 395: Wall Street
Pittsburgh is a small city, but the University of Pittsburgh is a big name, especially for its medical school, which is at the top of the world's ivory spire when it comes to organ transplantation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Organ transplantation is inseparable from the support of immunology, and Daniel is the academic leader of immunology in Pittsburgh and the top figure in the immunology community in the United States.
Three years ago, Daniel was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and after his success, Daniel thought about how to translate his academic prestige into commercial success.
In the past two years, Daniel has traveled all over the world, looking for his own business partners.
This time in China, he met Zhu Xiaojun. Zhu Xiaojun's frank personality is very suitable for Daniel's taste, and Zhu Xiaojun's daring and bold spirit is also quite similar to Daniel, so he has the desire to know more about Zhu Xiaojun, so that he can make a correct judgment on Zhu Xiaojun and see if Zhu Xiaojun is suitable to be one of his partners.
Therefore, Daniel attached great importance to Zhu Xiaojun's visit, and after learning about Zhu Xiaojun's flight information, he personally drove to the airport to meet Zhu Xiaojun on the same day.
When Zhu Xiaojun mentioned Daniel to Xie Wei, he basically told the truth, and there was no water in it, nor did he mix his own inferences.
In Xie Wei's impression, the academicians of the National Academy of Sciences are all big bulls, and they all walk with their faces facing the sky. Just like Daniel, many Wall Street investors are like flies around this old guy, but this old guy hangs very much, and no one cares.
Therefore, Xie Wei misunderstood Zhu Xiaojun's statement, and he thought that Daniel only invited Zhu Xiaojun out of courtesy.
It is precisely because of this that Xie Wei asked his public relations manager to come forward and arrive in Pittsburgh a day early, asking to make the scene bigger and show Zhu Xiaojun a face, so that Daniel could look at Zhu Xiaojun highly.
However, Xie Wei didn't expect that Daniel would come to the airport to greet Zhu Xiaojun in person.
Daniel not only came to the airport to greet Zhu Xiaojun in person, but also set up a reception banquet for Zhu Xiaojun that night in accordance with the habits of the Chinese people.
What's even more unexpected is that the reception banquet set up by Daniel for Zhu Xiaojun was still set in a Chinatown restaurant.
Xie Wei was embarrassed, and Zhu Xiaojun was also in the clouds.
Daniel's home is not in Pittsburgh, so he can't bring his wife and children to the dinner, so he can only accompany him alone. And here, Zhu Xiaojun and Xie Wei naturally wanted to participate, in order to make the atmosphere better, Xie Wei also called his public relations manager, the ABC beauty named Jenny.
The atmosphere of the dinner is naturally quite harmonious, and there is not much of a language barrier, although Daniel's Chinese is a little blunt, but there is no big problem in communicating, and the ABC beauty Jenny not only speaks Chinese fluently, but also has a very beautiful voice.
More than halfway through the dinner, Jenny got up to go to the bathroom, because of Zhu Xiaojun's presence, so Jenny spoke authentic Chinese when she greeted the people present: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm going to go for convenience." ”
After Jenny left, Daniel, who was interested in Chinese, asked, "Xie, she said she wanted to go for convenience, what is convenience?" ”
Xie Wei smiled: "Convenience is not a place, convenience means going to the bathroom...... Well, it's tourinate. ”
Daniel smiled and nodded, "I understand, thank you." ”
No one paid attention to this little episode at the time, but when the dinner was almost over, a joke was made.
As a public relations manager, Jenny will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to distance herself from Daniel, so she sent a courtesy invitation to Daniel: "Daniel, I am very honored to meet you, and I hope to be a guest in our company at your convenience." ”
Daniel's eyes widened at the time: "What? ...... at my convenience"
Jenny was stunned by Daniel's exaggerated reaction, Xie Wei didn't react for a while, but Zhu Xiaojun burst out laughing.
"Daniel, Jenny, why don't you do this, when it's convenient for you, I'll invite you to visit my hometown together, how about it?"
Janie didn't think about it, so she nodded and thanked Zhu Xiaojun.
Daniel couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at Jane and said to Zhu Xiaojun, "Zhu, what do you mean?" When it was convenient for me and her......"
Xie Wei only understood at this time, smiled, and explained in English in Daniel's ear.
Daniel, who finally figured out what this 'convenience' was all about, couldn't help but laugh.
And Jenny looked at the three laughing men inexplicably, and couldn't help but laugh silly.
The next day, Zhu Xiaojun and Xie Wei accepted Daniel's invitation to visit the University of Pittsburgh and his Department of Immunology, and at noon, Daniel accompanied Zhu Xiaojun and Xie Wei to lunch in the professor's cafeteria at the University of Pittsburgh, and then reluctantly sent Zhu Xiaojun away.
This trip, although it came and went in a hurry, but for the three parties, they all felt that they had gained a lot.
Daniel believes that Zhu Xiaojun happens to be the partner he is looking for, and Zhu Xiaojun has had the idea of doing business on the side of the US imperialists since he got to know Daniel, and Xie Wei has become the only venture capitalist on Wall Street to have dinner and lunch with Daniel.
At the end of the trip to Pittsburgh, Xie Wei took Zhu Xiaojun to appreciate the legendary Wall Street, although the road is narrow, but the piles of buildings full of historical heritage on both sides of the road, as well as the legendary names of the owners of these buildings, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of New York, Citibank, New York Stock Exchange......
"Lao Xie, where is your company?" Wall Street is not long, and after walking for more than 20 minutes, it came to the end, but Zhu Xiaojun did not find any building suitable for renting out office buildings.
Xie Wei smiled and replied: "Wall Street is just a term now, and most financial institutions, including venture capital companies, have moved their headquarters to more convenient places. The location of my investment company is more than ten kilometers away! ”
After touring Wall Street, Zhu Xiaojun followed Xie Wei to his company.
Before entering the door, Zhu Xiaojun imagined that Xie Wei had so much money in his hands, and his company would definitely be magnificently arranged. Who knows, as soon as he entered the door, Zhu Xiaojun was disappointed, and the internal facilities of Xie Wei's investment company can even be described in two words.
Especially Xie Wei's office, compared to the office that Gong Lin left for himself in Shenhai, it is simply a gap between a five-star and a chain hotel.
But Xie Wei didn't realize this, he let Zhu Xiaojun into his office, made tea, and then chatted with Zhu Xiaojun about business.
"Chief, I heard from Lao Wen that he handed over all his property to you?"
Zhu Xiaojun nodded: "Well, he is worried that he will be in danger...... But now that the danger is largely gone, I'll give him all the property when I'm done with one last thing. ”
Xie Wei smiled and said, "Chief, you misunderstood what I meant. I want to say that Lao Wen is indeed smarter than me, and he knows that he is not a businessman, and it is inconvenient to show up to manage these industries, so he simply leaves all these industries in his hands to you to take care of, this is great wisdom, chief, you say it yourself, Lao Wen can still get rid of the rest of his life? ”
Zhu Xiaojun pondered for a moment, and smiled: "Don't say it, Lao Wen is really sure of me, his industries are really worth a lot if they are well managed, but if they are not well managed, let alone how much they can be worth, I'm afraid they will have to make up for it!" ”
Xie Wei couldn't stop nodding: "Yes, yes, unless you sell these properties at a low price now, but if you cash in directly, you feel reluctant, don't you?" ”
Zhu Xiaojun blinked his eyelids and said with a smile: "That's right, don't say Lao Wen, even I am reluctant to sell it like this." ”
Xie Wei sighed with emotion: "Lao Wen, you see that he is usually dull, but he has more eyes, my Lao Xie is not as good as him, and I have to learn from him!" ”
There is something to say about this! Zhu Xiaojun trembled in his heart, could it be that Xie Wei also wanted to emulate Wen Qingliang?
As soon as this thought arose, I heard Xie Wei continue: "Chief, you have to have a bowl of water, if you can take over Lao Wen's mess, you have to take over the projects in my hands!" ”
"Mess? How do you say that the industries in Lao Wen's hands are some messes? Zhu Xiaojun was a little confused, it stands to reason that Xie Wei and Wen Qingliang's brotherly relationship, which can almost be entrusted with life and death, should not slander each other.
Xie Wei smiled bitterly twice and said: "Lao Wen and I are actually the same, what we do is investment, but what he does is closer to angel investment." Those who do investment are not proficient in the operation and management of the enterprise, and can only hope that the operation team of the project can make a lot of money if it is done well and can be listed. Just like Lao Wen's projects, from the angel at the beginning, to now, almost all of them have become major shareholders, and there is no way to quit, and they will not continue to throw money into it, which can be regarded as luck. ”
Which industries of Lao Wen, Zhu Xiaojun has not had time to study them, but what Xie Wei analyzed is very reasonable, which makes people have to believe it.
Just like the Gamma Knife Center at the beginning, under Zhang Shi's operation, the Gamma Knife Center of the Cancer Hospital can increase its value several times in just a few months, but what will be the result of changing people?
It is not impossible to operate poorly, lose money continuously, and not be able to sell.
"Chief, over the years, I, Xie Wei, have also rotted more than a dozen projects in my hands, why don't you take it over, put it in my hands, it will only rot more thoroughly, but if it is handed over to you, maybe there will be a possibility of resurrection!" (To be continued.) )
