"Hi, Charlie, I have some unfortunate news for you. You have become an internet celebrity."
"what?"
"Okay, so you probably don't know yet, so let me tell you, your deeds in Yongzhen have become popular on the Internet. If you don't believe it, Baidu's keyword "Hutoujiao Foreigner" has also become a hot search on the headlines.
Seven."
In the hotel room, Charlie was on the phone with his friend Taylor. When he heard this, he immediately opened his laptop and searched for keywords. Sure enough, it was found. Many self-media were talking about it.
Charlie couldn't help laughing at himself: "I have become an Internet celebrity? Haha, this is not a bad thing. Maybe we can try to monetize the traffic and take the opportunity to make Paopao Shopping Guide Network famous."
"Well, you are so optimistic and have a strong heart." Taylor couldn't help but complain.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Let's talk later."
Charlie opened the door and saw two strangers, hesitantly said: "You are..."
"Are you Mr. Charlie Jones?" the other party asked.
"Yes, I am." Charlie hesitated for a moment but admitted bluntly, and added: "Uh, sorry, do we know each other?"
"Hello, Mr. Charlie, my employer, Mr. Ye Hua, the founder and chairman of Coastline Company, invited you to have dinner. I wonder if you are free now." The other party replied immediately.
"Hmm...huh?" Charlie reacted half a beat late. He repeated what the other party said in his mind. He was suddenly stunned and came back to his senses in an instant: "What did you say?"
"Mr. Ye invited you to have dinner. I wonder if you are free?"
Charlie finally confirmed that he heard correctly, and his inner excitement was on the verge of bursting out. This opportunity was so precious that it could be said to be priceless. He almost wanted to jump up and down and roar, but his few senses suppressed it.
This rude impulse made me take a deep breath and respond as politely as possible: "I'm free, of course I'm free. Can you two wait for me for a moment?"
"No problem, but please hurry up, we are waiting for you downstairs." The visiting employee said calmly.
"No problem, right away." Charlie nodded repeatedly. After the other party left, he closed the door again, returned to his laptop and sat down with his eyes closed, but the raised corners of his mouth were a smile that could not be concealed, and the real-time video chat chat on the screen
The friend looked suspicious: "Charlie? What are you doing?"
Charlie immediately opened his eyes and smiled uncontrollably, saying: "Just now, the founder of Coastline invited me to have dinner with him. God... isn't this a dream?"
"What? Charlie? Are you sure?" Taylor on the screen was stunned and in disbelief.
"Let's talk later!" Charlie paused and quickly stood up, not daring to delay any further. He put on the suit and quickly went into the bathroom to tidy up, while his friend Taylor on the screen was cheering heartily, even more excited than Charlie himself.
This is like Buffett inviting an ordinary person with whom he has nothing to do for a meal.
…
Charlie left the hotel, and there was a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the intersection. One of the two strange visitors had already sat in the cab, and the other was standing next to the luxury car, waving his hand in a gesture.
.
Stopping the excitement in his heart, Charlie walked away calmly. He pretended to be calm on the surface, but his eyes were also looking at the surroundings. At this time, many people or pedestrians around him were focused on the luxury car, and soon it was gone.
Pay attention to Charlie who is walking towards this luxury car.
Facing many different looks, even envious looks, Charlie felt unprecedentedly satisfied at this moment, but he did not forget about it, because he knew that none of this really belonged to him, and the reason why so many eyes were focused on him was because of this.
Rolls-Royce, thinking he is the owner of this car.
But Charlie knew very well that it wasn't.
After getting in the car, as the luxury car drove slowly away, Charlie, who was sitting in the car, was very active in his inner activities at this moment.
He never dreamed that he would be able to sit in a luxury car worth tens of millions in his life. It has to be said that Rolls-Royce is comfortable. The car is not the focus, and comfort is secondary. The most important thing is a status symbol.
Sign of success.
"One day, I, Charlie, will also have a luxury car, a villa, and honor that truly belongs to me..." Charlie's mentality in the car was changing at this moment. He quickly returned to reality from these fantasies. He did not
Forget that you are just a nobody in the world now.
You can’t say that, after all, you are an Internet celebrity.
…
Unknowingly, I arrived at the villa. Through the car window, I saw this sea-view manor on the edge of the coastline, a private helicopter on the helipad, a private tennis court, a golf course... and the full-filled building that was approaching.
Others may see the villa and mansion with a sense of future technology in awe, but what Charlie sees is a kind of self-motivation.
After getting out of the car, his every move showed humility and politeness. When he entered the mansion, Uncle He came to guide him to the guest restaurant. When he entered the hall, the whale shark under the transparent floor under his feet made him heartbroken.
Jumped slightly, then calmed down.
The whale shark's swimming pool occupies a large space and runs through multiple main halls.
Soon, he immediately noticed the person on the dining table. It was none other than Ye. The latter also cast his gaze, sat motionless in his seat, and said with a smile: "Please."
"Thank you. It is my lifelong honor to meet you, Mr. Ye." Charlie said extremely humbly. To be honest, although the other person is very young, he is even a few years older than Ye Hua.
But when facing him, Charlie still felt a great pressure in his heart and seemed quite cautious.
The man in front of him was a living legend. He never dared to imagine that one day he would be able to face this legend so close and get an invitation to have dinner with him. He couldn't believe that it would be like this now.
The achievements and brilliance of the man in front of me were too dazzling. Something happened to his company, and the global stock market was shaking and the global economy was catching a cold. He held a press conference the next day, and the three major North American stock indexes evaporated US$1.7 trillion in one day.
This is the energy of the person called Eyeball.
"Are you Internet celebrity Charlie?" Ye Hua joked with a smile. He spoke calmly and casually, so freely, and didn't care about the other person's feelings. He showed his boss style.
Ye Hua is completely different now than he was three or four years ago. This is determined by his position and experience.
"I'm ashamed to say that I made you laugh." Charlie responded awkwardly but politely, but his heart was extremely active, constantly weighing and evaluating how to compete with this world-famous business and technology giant.
The key to having a conversation is to be able to achieve your goals from this dinner conversation.
"My Chinese is not bad." Ye Hua said approvingly, and invited him to drink a cup, taking a sip without any reaction from the other party.
Charlie quickly raised his glass, and when he was about to speak, Ye Hua said first: "When I decided to invite you, someone persuaded me not to do that, because with this start, a second Charlie might appear in the future, and a third
Charlie, the nth Charlie.”
"This may be the greatest luck in my life, and there will never be anything better than this in the future." Charlie couldn't help but smile, and he indeed thought so in his heart.
Ye Hua was noncommittal and said: "No matter how many Charlies follow, they can't compare with the first one, so I decided to invite you. To put it bluntly, I heard that you have a big deal that you want to talk to me about, so what are you waiting for?"
Charlie found that the plan in his mind didn't work at all. Ye Hua's words directly overturned all the words he had just organized or was organizing before. Facts once again proved that plans can never keep up with changes.
"Excuse me for guessing, Mr. Ye, I have noticed the sales model of your company's two generations of PHC. I boldly guess that measures such as purchase restrictions are adopted so that 1.0 can be digested by the European and American markets through overseas purchasing and other forms?" Charlie is very simple.
He said it bluntly, without making any big detours.
"So you want to take over this batch of equipment from me? Can you handle nearly 2 million sets?"
