Chapter 079: Chinese Tycoon
Erica Stone chatted with them for a few minutes, but the conversation didn't last long because there were other arrangements. But this encounter gave Meng Qian the opportunity to contact the top-level circle, and for a top-level person like her, the threshold of the social circle is definitely not low, which is very beneficial to him.
So be cautious and dress up formally that night to participate.
The style is typical of Western-style evening socials, where men dress uniformly and wear bow ties; Ladies are dressed in a variety of beautiful and dazzling dresses, dressed in jewelry, showing off their charm and elegance. The cocktail warm-up time and the light music are playing, which is very relaxing.
It's just that under the glorious surface, there are many rules, and most of the people on the scene are white, and the upper circle of Western society is bound to be monopolized by whites. They are in groups of three or five, talking and laughing freely, and they lack interest in minority yellow people, and even if they do communicate, they are mostly polite.
But Meng Qian did not complain, self-improvement is the key.
After a while, the host of the banquet arrived.
In the all-white group, the arrival of this gentleman immediately diluted the feeling of white people as the core. Countless eyes were focused on him, looking forward to meeting and communicating with him. No matter how proud a person is, his attitude will quietly change and become humble and polite, which is impressive.
Again, if you want to be respected, strength is the most fundamental.
The host of the banquet is the best symbol of strength. Meng Qian made up for his mistakes in the afternoon, Tiger Stone, formerly known as Shi Hu, born in China, developed in the United States at the end of the last century, made a fortune in the gambling industry, and expanded all over the world; At the same time, he has a good talent in biomedicine and has amazing achievements.
During the U.S. financial crisis, he made a large purchase of MGM Hotel Group, which allowed him to monopolize one-third of the luxury hotel industry in Las Vegas, and then frantically swallowed the Sands Group, making the American gambling kings bow to the upper hand, and outsiders called it "almost the entire casino bought".
At the same time, in a very short period of time, he will be Bo. The color empire has expanded all over the world, including cruise ships on the high seas, and the shadow of Stone International Group can also be seen. If those Bo in the past. If the lottery tycoon is the "gambling king", he should be the "gambling god".
There is no doubt that this is a legend.
And this legend, now with his wife, came to them.
Mrs. Stone, who was dressed in a dignified dress and looked extravagant, did not forget them and introduced them personally: "Charles, who has cooperated with us many times, next to him is a Chinese rookie, and the new battery that has been in full swing recently is from his handwriting. ”
Mr. Stone suddenly said, "Oh - the guy who solved my phone's battery life problem?" ”
"Meng Qian, it's a pleasure to meet you." Meng Qian looked at the other party, his facial features were a little Westernized, and his beard made him full of mature charm, even if he was wearing a suit, he couldn't hide the strength behind the clothes.
"Very good, very good." Mr. Stone stretched out his hand and changed to Chinese: "People from my hometown can call me by my Chinese name, which means anyway." ”
Meng Qian shook hands with him and called him closer: "Mr. Shi." ”
Shi Hu smiled: "It's been a long time since I've heard others call me that." ”
"I admire Mr. Shi's achievements, I am a role model." Meng Qian patted his ass.
"False names are all external objects." Shi Hu didn't care, and motioned to his wife next to him: "Erica has taken over all this, she is the legend." ”
Mrs. Stone smiled, "It's not easy to be your agent. ”
"But you're outstanding." Shi Hu looked at her.
Meng Qian looked at the two of them, the relationship between the two should be very good...... Shi Hu looked back: "You are very young, when did you immigrate?" ”
"Immigration?" Meng Qian shook his head, "No, I'm here to deal with some business cooperation." ”
Mrs. Stone realized: "I'm sorry, I misremembered. ”
"It's okay." Meng Qian didn't mind.
"If you have a successful career at a young age, you will have a good time." Shi Hu praised him, "A new type of battery? The influence should not be underestimated, and the future market demand is quite large, right? ”
"At present, there are plans to cooperate with Tesla to invest in a factory that supplies half a million vehicles a year." Meng Qian honestly said that this is not a secret.
"Half a million is not enough." Shi Hu is quick thinker: "If you want to make this line bigger, millions or millions are not exaggerated." Is there a need for funds? ”
It's really straightforward and clear, Meng Qian looked at Liu Jianye.
Liu Jianye said: "This is the purpose of our visit, many companies have contacted us, but I hope to choose the partner with the strongest comprehensive strength." ”
This is undoubtedly talking about Shi Hu.
Shihu's economic strength is undoubted, and the 2013 Global Expo. With a color industry of more than $410 billion, the tycoon has at least a quarter of the monopoly. Caiye is only a part of his hotel group, and the income from the hotel and service industries adds up to more terrifying.
For example, in 2013, Microsoft's revenue was $65.7 billion, while Google's was less than $60 billion, and Apple, which claims to be the most profitable, had more than $170 billion. After comparison, you will understand his strong ability to collect cash.
Shi Hu pondered: "New energy vehicles? The investment will not be small. ”
Liu Jianye said: "But the future profit margin is very large, and the net profit margin is very high. ”
It's just that seeing Liu Jianye so directly wooing Shi Hu, Meng Qian was a little worried.
"Mr. Meng has questions?" Shi Hu's gaze swept over him, and for some reason, Meng Qian had a feeling of being seen through his thoughts, which was very strange.
Liu Jianye explained: "Because this technology will be replaced by a stronger one in the foreseeable time, it will require a lot of help during operation. ”
Shi Hu was surprised: "Do you still have new technology?" ”
Meng Qian felt that he couldn't hide it from the other party: "Yes." In the future, there may be more technologically stronger opponents, and in order to maintain the advantage, the current technology is intended to be used to pave the way. ”
Shi Hu understood: "The combination of old and new - make yourself as much as possible?" ”
Meng Qian felt that he understood really quickly: "The existing technology first absorbs investors' funds, becomes a giant, and lasts for a period of time, and the new technology reserves." ”
"The new company holds the new technology, owns the shares of its own people, and then controls the two companies, secretly uniting." Shi Hu already understands the following routines.
Liu Jianye nodded: "I can communicate with you by understanding." ”
Meng Qian also felt that before he could say it, he almost understood it thoroughly.
Shi Hu was finally interested: "There is a lot of room for maneuver, you should be very good at selling long and selling at a high price, right?" ”
Liu Jianye smiled, and didn't intend to hide anything: "In fact, this is the case, but it is inevitable that there will be some troubles when operating." ”
Some trouble? Meng Qian disagrees, and there will be a lot of trouble in grabbing the market with the traditional energy industry.
But Shi Hu doesn't care: "Americans won't take you together. Production, free market losers and winners are the norm. If you are sorry for losing, you still need to talk to them about the rules? ”
It seems to cover them?
Meng Qian looked at Liu Jianye, and his nod confirmed his guess.
Since Liu Jianye has a sober mind, Meng Qian will not interfere in the business cooperation here. Having said that, more powerful friends have more protection. Shi Hu is a super tycoon with extraordinary ability, and there are countless people who are willing to cooperate with him, and now is a good opportunity.
After chatting about her plans in this regard, Mrs. Stone took her leave for the time being, and she still had a party to do.
"Forgive me, she's more ambitious than me." Shi Hu said to them, beckoned the waiter to come over again, and brought them champagne.
Liu Jianye clinked glasses with him: "Even if it is a lady, it can't affect your achievements." ”
"Passing the prize." Shi Hu took a sip of champagne, "How do you feel about the Future Center?" ”
"Excellent! From the first glance to the present, there are still a lot of surprises and freshness. Meng Qian did not hesitate to praise or exaggerate.
Shi Hu listened, and his tone couldn't help but be proud: "It was my hard work when I was young, and I insisted on it because of my dream of being a gambling god." ”
Meng Qian said: "You have made it world-class. ”
Shi Hu shook his head: "Actually, I don't like to run a hotel, I like probability, I like to play cards." Interested in playing poker, two of you? ”
"I'm too weak to deliver food." Liu Jianye hurriedly refused.
Meng Qian had the previous reminder, although he didn't know it, he also refused: "I haven't learned." ”
"That's right." Shi Hu was disappointed.
Meng Qian pulled away from the topic: "I feel that the experience of artificial intelligence makes the hotel shine. ”
"Artificial Intelligence." Shi Hu nodded, "It's a money-burning research, and it took a lot of effort, but there are too many bottlenecks, and if you want to improve, you have to use money to fill it." ”
Meng Qian decided to do what he liked: "I'm quite interested in it, and I also have a few suggestions, to be precise, it's imagining." ”
Shi Hu was really curious: "Let's talk about it." ”
Meng Qian felt that the other party should understand technology, and in order to make this powerful friend, he moved out the things that had just been made up in his mind, and pointed out the defects in a word, the idea of bionic programming, and the improvement of software and hardware.
Shi Hu pondered with a wine glass, and after a moment, he raised his head: "You are also an expert, right?" ”
He nodded: "I used to do software." ”
"I find that every point you just talked about is a nuisance that has been bothering the engineer for a long time." Shi Hu was a little surprised, "Your talent is amazing. ”
"The interest that I have accumulated in my daily life." Meng Qian is modest.
"What about more specific aspects?" Shi Hu took the bait.
===
PS: Shi Hu was the protagonist of my last book, because Harmony couldn't finish it. In this book, an important supporting role was found that was very suitable for him to play. (Originally, I was going to write about a foreign family, but the setting was nerve-wracking to think about, and finally let the veteran go into battle)
Of course, if you haven't read the previous book, it doesn't affect the reading of this book in the slightest. The story of this book revolves around the protagonist, Meng Qian is the core, and the story is completely new.
