Chapter 212: Invitation
After leaving Clement's company, in the car, Jester remembered what his assistant had told him just now, in fact, it was not a big deal, but it was still relatively new to Jester, his alma mater, UCLA, invited him to give a talk.
There was nothing to refuse such a thing, so after hearing his assistant's summons at that time, Jester only thought for a second, and then agreed, and let his assistant report back.
Now Jester has also received news from his alma mater again, the time is set for four days later, during this time his alma mater is holding an event to invite celebrities from all walks of life to come to their school to give speeches, and Jester's identity is a youth leader, and the speech with him is quite surprising, it turned out to be Bill. Gates.
For Jester, after all, this is the first time he has attended such a formal occasion, and he can't say that it is the first time to give a speech, but after all, he has given a speech about game development to his employees in his own company, and this is the first time he has given a speech to a student, to be precise, if he is not dropping out, he is just a student.
A dropout giving a speech to a current student? After thinking of this, Jester suddenly realized that the founder of Microsoft who was speaking on the same day as him was also a Harvard dropout.
Although he thinks so, Jester still feels the need to prepare well, he has listened to many famous entrepreneurs or successful people in American universities in order to connect with English listening, and now it should not be difficult to prepare one according to his memories.
Of course, he couldn't do something like the founder of Oracle who gave a lecture at Yale or Stanford.
The time for the speech was set for ten o'clock, and his second session was Bill Gate, who had given a speech before him, but Jester still needed to go early. And he just heard from his uncle that his grandfather was also in Los Angeles during this time, and he happened to go to visit.
In the past Hiroshima agreement. The yen appreciated by a quarter in just one month, from 250 yen per dollar to 200 yen per dollar. And Jester paid Sandy. Will also made a lot of money in foreign exchange futures, not only after repaying the principal of Fuji Bank's $800 million plus interest, Jester also earned almost a billion dollars.
And this money Jester also took out a part of it to talk to Sandy. Will buys Commercial Credit Corporation, in which Jester owns 30 percent of the shares, and seeing Jester so know how to advance and retreat, Sandy. Will was also satisfied.
Jester's grandfather had just returned from China, and he would return as soon as he spent some time in Los Angeles, according to the old man. He was more comfortable in China than in the United States, and he also found many friends who were separated back then, and before Jester said goodbye, his grandfather also explained to him about his sister-in-law's recent investment in China.
Especially the one named Ni Guangnan who just came back from Canada that Jester recommended to him, and even his sister-in-law recruited several people in the same industry from North America with high salaries in the past also praised him, so he is still modest, to put it bluntly, he is shocking.
Originally, Ni Guangnan almost agreed to his old friend's construction. I was going to the small company called Lian-Xiang, which was just established under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but Jester's aunt intervened sideways and used Ni Guangnan's most desired program-controlled switch research. made up his mind and came to Jester's aunt's business.
Jester also had some impressions of this, at that time, his aunt may not have enough funds in hand, but it was okay to slow down the progress, but his sister-in-law wanted to increase investment and complete the research and development in one go, so she asked if she wanted to do it together.
As soon as Jester heard that his sister-in-law was really like what he told her at the beginning, he really pulled Ni Guangnan, a super god, into her company, and immediately agreed to join the shares without hesitation. However, it is also because of the shareholding relationship, Jester only accounts for 40% of the shares.
At that time, Jester told her sister-in-law that she wanted to make money on computers. After thinking about it again and again, her sister-in-law gave up being a brand agent of a computer company in the United States. Although it would have been a lot easier if she had done this.
Because of Ni Guangnan, Jester's sister-in-law also told this god-level figure about the Hanka that Jester had told her about, saying that because it was impossible to see the benefits immediately from the development of a program-controlled switch, she wanted to buy the copyright of Cangjie Hanka from Taiwan, and then sell it in China after simplification.
However, Ni Guangnan was disdainful when he heard it, he directly said that he was developing a special Hanka with simplified characters before, and it had been studied almost some time ago, and we didn't need to buy Taiwanese things at all, just use the one he researched, and Ni Guangnan also said that his Hanka can be contributed to the company free of charge.
Because yes, for Ni Guangnan, the development of software and hardware integration is his pursuit, like Hanka, but it is just a hobby.
However, Jester's sister-in-law grew up in the United States after all, and she didn't understand what Ni Guangnan said about this kind of free dedication to the company, because according to her nephew Jester, Hanka will be a very huge market in the future, basically as long as it is a mainland computer.
Although Ni Guangnan said that it didn't matter, Jester's sister-in-law still decided to use US dollars to buy, and the price given was quite high, Ni Guangnan is just a molecule of the older generation, and his style is still quite strong, otherwise he would not give up his job in Canada, which is considered a high-income job, to return to China for research and development work.
So not surprisingly, Ni Guangnan refused with righteous words.
In desperation, Jester's sister-in-law named this as ten percent of the profit of Guangnan Hanka, as Ni Guangnan's share, Ni Guangnan still refused, but after several persuasions from Jester's sister-in-law, he reluctantly agreed.
In fact, in Ni Guangnan's eyes, he thought that this Hanka would not have much value, and even if it did, it would not be as much as the hundreds of thousands of dollars that his boss wanted to give him.
Jester still felt a little funny when he heard his sister-in-law talk about this, but he somewhat understood why the final outcome of the Ni Liu dispute that shocked the business community across the country in his memory would be the retirement of Chief Engineer Ni, who wanted to make great contributions.
Just like someone Liu said, Ni Guangnan doesn't understand the market.
But in fact, another thought, maybe not the case, Jester also once felt sorry for this company, missed the opportunity to become the world's first-rate enterprise, if in the early nineties, Liu someone can listen to Ni Guangnan's construction, fully support the development of program-controlled switches, instead of thinking about how to MBO, maybe Hua-wei will no longer exist.
This year, King Dorgerste has invested a lot of money in the mainland, not only his sister-in-law's business, but also his grandfather's supermarket hotel plan, and now it has basically built several large supermarkets in several provincial capitals along the coast.
However, there is also the biggest difference between the present and the future generations, although the future RMB will not be able to exchange any foreign currency, but because the future of domestic foreign exchange is too much, so the general enterprise wants to exchange foreign exchange, the domestic will not deliberately block, but this era is different, the domestic foreign exchange reserves are too small.
Basically, it is impossible to convert the renminbi into the US dollar.
However, for Jester and his grandfather, the money is also used for the next investment in China, so they don't pay attention to this kind of thing that can't be exchanged at will.
The hotel's plan is not progressing fast, after all, according to Jester's grandfather's idea, he wants to build that kind of Western-style five-star hotel, which needs to be re-designed to start construction, not overnight, now it is only planned to build three in the imperial capital, Shanghai and Shenzhen, the current design drawings of these three hotels are only on paper, the local government of the land has been approved, but the start of construction may be delayed until next year.
On the morning of going to his alma mater to speak, Jester woke up very early, he came alone, he has been eating bread and omelette for more than a year, he suddenly wanted to eat a little Chinese breakfast, let him make his own he is too troublesome, simply go directly to Chinatown to see what delicious traditional snacks there are.
Jester hasn't been to Los Angeles' Chinatown for a long time, and most of the breakfast here is Cantonese morning tea, probably because the first people to come to this country across the ocean have the most people from eastern Guangdong, but Jester used to think that Cantonese noodles were good, and he used to eat a lot, after all, he is one of the representatives of China's three major pastries, but he wants to change his taste today, and take a look by the way.
In general, Chinatown is still dominated by Cantonese restaurants, followed by Sichuan cuisine, but these two are the most eaten by Jester, and when he walked for more than ten minutes, Jester's nose suddenly sniffed, and he smelled a very strong, with a fishy fragrance.
"Lamb."
The moment he smelled the smell, the sensory signals generated by the smell instantly stimulated his brain, and then his brain made a judgment based on the smell.
This taste is the aroma of mutton.
And judging by the aroma of this sheep with a little smell, this should not be made by Cantonese restaurants or other restaurants of southern cuisine. (To be continued) R655
