Alice had already changed into the clothes that suited her best when her dad hung up the phone.

"Hello, sir, it's an honor to see you."

Walking into the hotel restaurant private room, Ren Zhengfei immediately walked towards the most conspicuous middle-aged man in the house: "I wonder how long have you been in China?"

"Sit first, let's sit down before talking."

James shook his hands briefly, pulled a chair open, then raised his hand to Alice who had just stood up and said, "This is my daughter Alice, Alice, this is Uncle Ren."

"Hello uncle."

The simple and neat jeans, an orange pullover with plush balls, and the Winnie Bear's waist bag was placed on the dining table. With a sweet smile, Alice waved at Ren Zhengfei simply and easily.

"Oh, hello boy."

The appearance of the family undoubtedly reduced Ren Zhengfei's doubts a lot. Seeing his gentle expression and quite hidden, Alice blinked at her father.

"So, please allow me to introduce myself."

Immediately, James took out his business card from his arms: "My name is King James. I live in Los Angeles, California. I am a director of Oscar & Hannah International Clothing Co., Ltd. I wonder if you have heard of this company?"

Ren Zhengfei took over the business card and raised his voice a lot: "Oscar & Hannah!? I really know this company, right? There are many stores in Guangzhou, what about this company?"

"Just director."

James smiled and humbled. As for Alice, his bright smile could certainly be interpreted with countless meanings.

Then there was a little bit of routine situation, simple greetings, and the waiter served snacks as an appetizer. During this period, James briefly introduced the business of "Oscar & Hannah" in China and further explained his situation to Ren Zhengfei.

"Of course, these are all investments two years ago, and now is the initial normal time for the fruits to take place."

Speaking skillful Chinese, he also drank a glass of white wine. When a plate of wood-bearded meat was served as a dish, James turned the topic away: "So when I came to China again this year, I turned my attention to the south. When I came to Shenzhen, I visited the Nanhai Petroleum Company. Mr. Ren, I heard that you plan to start the switch business. I have to say that your vision is really outstanding."

Seeing what Ren Zhengfei wanted to say, James immediately raised his tone: "The history of the entire Internet hardware industry is only about three years, so I believe that looking at the entire Shenzhen, there will not be too many entrepreneurs who are planning to engage in this industry. As for the whole country, if Shenzhen can't make up the number of one hand, there will not be many nationwide."

"So, no matter how you think about it, when you decide to take this industry as your career, congratulations, you have become one of the pioneers in the entire Chinese industry. In other words, if you are not a mediocre person, in today's environment, you are a worthy investment."

Faced with the soup that came one after another, Ren Zhengfei could not think of a second answer except for a bitter smile on his face. In front of him, the third dish had been served on the table, but except for the "Alice" who couldn't help but pick up a chopstick, the other two diners, at least he had no intention of eating.

"Maybe the situation is really as amazing as you said."

After a while of silence, he said, "But Mr. Wang, don't look like I am about the same age as you, but in the past ten years, I have just been an engineer. I don't really understand business matters. If you really want to invest... I'll ask first, what's the matter with the angel investment?"

James laughed out loud, took a sip of wine and said, "I can also guess that you will ask this question. The so-called angel investment is a type of venture capital. As for what venture capital is, in fact... it is more appropriate to call it venture capital."

Seeing Ren Zhengfei's humble appearance, James showed off his basic knowledge he learned from Roger Lawrence without hesitation: "In a broad sense, venture capital refers to all investments with high risk and high potential returns. venture capital refers to investments based on high-tech and technology-intensive products. The investment I plan to make in you now is this kind of narrow sense. Most companies in the entire Silicon Valley of California have emerged with this kind of investment."

"It seems that China does not have this kind of business method yet. After all, your reform has just begun. But for European and American countries that have been implementing market economy for hundreds of years, a large number of new companies are established every day. When the founders first founded the company, they needed a start-up capital. This is how venture capital comes from."

"It is obvious that there are many types of venture capital. After all, it is also an entire industry. There are countless people working on it on Wall Street and Silicon Valley. They are employed by professional venture capital companies, looking for startups that are suitable for investment, obtaining some shares on the condition of providing start-up capital, and appropriately intervening in the business operations according to the actual situation. Until the company is fully developed, usually, after going public, venture capital companies withdraw their capital and obtain rich profits to complete the entire process."

"But this is the behavior of venture capital companies. There is also a kind of investment conditions that are much lower. In industry terms, it is an angel investment. Its concept is very simple. The investment is not a professional venture capital company, but a wealthy man with spare money. He invests in funds because he is optimistic about entrepreneurs' companies, so that entrepreneurs can provide timely help when they are short of money and grain, and wait for the company to show off and enjoy dividends. This is such an act."

"So Mr. Ren, our current situation is that I think your company has great potential for development, so I want to invest by providing you with initial funds. I just don't know if you are interested in accepting a shareholder like me."

A long article was just finished after the dishes on the table were finally served. At this time, James looked at Ren Zhengfei with a smile. Ren Zhengfei was sitting quietly in contemplative manner, while Alice, who was dressed in cuteness, could no longer help but eat half a bowl of rice.

Ren Zhengfei knew the other party's words were reasonable and the whole process was reasonable. Just before the banquet in the afternoon, he had already called the old company. The leader did mention a Chinese-American businessman and said that he had visited the company a few days ago. Through this way, he knew his situation and then raised the idea of ​​an angel investing. For this businessman, it was indeed not difficult, and the whole process was completely fine.

So, the current situation is really just like this James said. Is he willing to accept the other party's investment?

Seeing that Ren Zhengfei seemed to have no idea in a short period of time, James immediately broke the silence: "Come on, don't just think about it, just have a meal first."

"Yes, yes, let's have a meal first. Let's have dinner first. The little girl is already hungry. Are you here to accompany her father back to China to play?"

Of course, Ren Zhengfei had noticed Alice long ago. The little girl was neither old nor young, and was about the same age as her daughter. It can be said that the reason why he was willing to listen to King James's long-term comments was that this girl was really present.

"Well, I came back two years ago. I just went to Shanghai and haven't been to Guangdong yet."

Alice picked up a portion of fish belly meat for herself without hesitation: "Oh, it's so delicious! Uncle, I tell you that you will definitely not be able to eat such authentic Chinese food in the United States, all of which have been localized!"

"Oh, is that? What are American-made Chinese foods?"

The father and daughter were both happy when they heard this. James kept shaking his head, while Alice wrinkled her nose, as if she was sucking and smelling the smell: "Well... I'll tell you the name of the dish, Coke chicken wings, how do you feel?"

"Cola...Chicken wings!?"

Ren Zhengfei was really stunned: "Can they be matched together too!"

"Actually, it's quite delicious just by judging from the taste, but this is completely different from Chinese cuisine, right?"

It is true, it is true. Ren Zhengfei is an eye-opener. He has drunk Coke, but treating Coke as an ingredient is really not something that traditional Chinese food can do.

"Of course!"

After hearing Ren Zhengfei's true complaints, Alice smiled: "Cola was revealed by an American more than a hundred years ago. How could it be the ingredient for Chinese food?"

"By the way, my daughter is actually about the same age as you."

After two or three sentences, Ren Zhengfei became more interested in Alice: "Alice, in which year did you come and how old are you now?"

Alice looked at him with fun: "In 1972, I'm just fifteen years old this year."

"Actually, I'm the same age as my daughter!?"

Ren Zhengfei was really surprised and immediately picked up a dish for Alice: "My mother and ancestor, my daughter Xiaozhou is born this year! Come on, hurry up and eat more, are you hungry today? Are you running around with your father?"

"Hey, my dad didn't abuse me."

After happily taking the dishes full of dishes, Alice deliberately pouted and glared: "I just have a big appetite!"

Then, he coughed again: "Ah, of course, I will definitely not gain weight no matter how I eat it. Don't worry about this."

A few words made the box full of cheerful laughter. While Ren Zhengfei laughed, he immediately sought confirmation from James: "Did your daughter really be born in 1972? So did our daughter, and I have a son, where is your family?"

"Two daughters, with a son in between, and their personality is... quite stunned."

Another simple sentence, combined with humorous words, made Ren Zhengfei laugh again. To be continued.
