"Because I am a good friend of the Chinese people."
"Oh, what's your name?"
"My name is Curious Baby."
"Curious baby, hehehehe, you are an adult, why do you call me baby?"
"Because I am Wai Guo Ren, and that's what Wai Guo Ren is like..."
In the hard-seat carriage, only a six-year-old child was left chatting with Bob. It is true that everyone likes to watch foreign guests, and chatting with foreign guests also has a novel feeling. But this kind of thing is just a new experience, who
I am happy to chat endlessly with a foreigner
In this era, most people who travel by train belong to the system, and they often have a little bit of a position. Everyone knows some foreign affairs disciplines. When chatting with foreign guests, it is not appropriate to talk lightly or seriously, in case you say something wrong.
What, it might even cause trouble. In that case, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to get together and play cards? Why do you have to join in the fun?
The little boy who was chatting with Bob was also called away by his parents. Bob watched the child leave reluctantly, and the reluctance in his own eyes was no less than that of the child.
"Come on, Bob, please show some face to Harvard students."
Gao Fan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to tease him.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" Bob was a little puzzled.
"You said you were an elite after all, right? The whole carriage was full of people going crazy, and they could chat with any child for half an hour. Those who knew you said you were studying, and those who didn't knew thought you ran away from some hospital."
"Gao, do you think you are cursing people without using curse words?"
"..."
Gao Fan has black lines all over his head. This guy's learning ability is so strong that he even learned such common sayings.
"Bob, did you have a minor at Harvard? I really don't believe you learned all these after coming to China." Gao Fan asked tentatively.
You are already a monster yourself, but this Bob is even more monster than you. Could it be that Bob is a Chinese who traveled to the United States by mistake?
"I can speak seven languages. This is the eighth language I have learned. I just started learning it a week ago." Bob said proudly.
"Well, it seems that it is not easy to be a rich second generation." Gao Fan sighed.
Bob didn't pay attention to Gao Fan's complaints, but changed the subject and asked: "Gao, we are partners now. What position do you plan to give me in the vitamin company we are about to establish?"
"Position" Gao Fan was stunned and asked, "What position do you want?"
"Of course it's best to be the CEO of the company, but I guess you will keep this position for yourself, so I can just be the company's co." "Co, are you sure you're not swearing?"
"Why curse?"
"Oh, it's okay." Gao Fan was relieved. It seems that this guy is not a time traveler, at least not from China. Otherwise, he would understand this joke. He waved his hand and said: "The position of chief administrative officer is very important to you.
Inappropriate. The daily management of the company involves some internal coordination work. You are not familiar with the situation in China and cannot do such work."
&“So, where is cfo?”
"The financial officer is not suitable for you either. Are you willing to take a few cashiers to keep accounts every day?"
"Then who do you think I can be?"
"Otherwise..., just think of yourself as a CSO, which translates into a chief officer, which is equivalent to a minister in the government."
Next, Gao Fan had to explain to Bob what "no matter the minister" meant, which was roughly the kind of person who could get involved in anything but had no particularly specific responsibilities.
When he was in Yangcheng, Bob had several exchanges with Gao Fan. Gao Fan roughly understood Bob's motivation for cooperating with him, which was that he wanted to use Canghua Science and Technology Trade as an internship base for him to understand a country like China.
The situation in emerging markets.
Most people in the U.S. business and political circles do not pay special attention to China's development. In their view, China's reform and opening up only means a shift from the Eastern European model to the Latin American model. A market-oriented China will have a
A large Brazilian.
Of course, such an emerging market with a population of 100 million has some value, but it is only some value. They do not believe that China can develop to the level of Europe and Japan.
Bob is one of the few people in the United States who pays great attention to China, or to be more precise, the Hatch family to which Bob belongs is one of the few business families in the United States that pays special attention to China. On the one hand, Bob is out of the ordinary.
Due to his sensitivity as a business school elite, on the other hand, he came to China with the entrustment of his family to look for investment opportunities.
The investment in Canghua Technology and Trade is only a fraction of the investment the Hatch family expects to make in China.
For the Hatch family, not to mention that an investment of tens of thousands of dollars is nothing, even a hundred million dollars can still be raised.
Investment involves not only funds, but more importantly opportunities. If the Hatch family determines that China has investment value, then most of the capital, talents and other resources will be transferred to China, and this will
It means giving up opportunities in other markets.
It is precisely because of this that the Hatch family sent several groups of people to China to understand China's reality and assess China's development potential.
Bob is one of these groups of people.
Gao Fan doesn't mind the Hatch family's ambitions. If the Hatch family sincerely wants to invest in China, China will also welcome it.
The earth is big enough to accommodate the two big countries of China and the United States. Especially now, China is in a period of extreme shortage of funds. It is very difficult for Gao Fan to lend Mandu from the bank. Hatch Group is willing to invest. What reason does Gao Fan have?
Refuse
Since he regards Hatch Group as a partner, Gao Fan does not need to restrict Bob's activities in the company. Of course, he will not let Bob have access to parts that involve the company's core secrets.
Bob is a talented student at Harvard and the heir to a business family. His vision and experience are far superior to today's domestic entrepreneurs. Allowing him to participate in some of the company's business activities will also help the company adapt to international business more quickly.
Rules, this is a beneficial and harmless thing for the company.
As for whether Bob wants to copy the successful experience of Canghua Technology and Trade to the United States and cultivate a competitor for Canghua Technology and Trade, don’t be ridiculous, how could he copy it?
Canghua Technology and Trade takes this small business seriously.
With this idea in mind, Gao Fan generously appointed Bob a position of Xi'ao, allowing him to wander around the company as he pleased.
