Chapter 632 Children and Grandchildren Have Their Own Blessings

The day after the negotiation with Wang An Computer Company collapsed, Li Ye and others began to act separately.

Luo Runbo contacted those little-known small manufacturers to discuss the possibility of forming joint ventures or foundries on Hong Kong Island.

Pei Wencong took Li Ye, Wen Leyu, Fu Yiruo and others to visit Mr. Witte Jeff.

Jeff lives in a small town in the suburbs of New York, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city's reinforced concrete. Not only is it very quiet, but the air and scenery are also very good.

When Li Ye and others arrived in the town, they saw Jeff waiting at the door of his villa with his wife and three children from a distance.

Wen Leyu looked through the car window and saw Jeff's family of five wearing brand new clothes and lining up neatly, so he said to Li Ye: "Mr. Jeff seems to value us very much!"

Li Ye nodded silently and whispered: "Because we changed his life, lighthouse people generally pay attention to interests, but they may not be ungrateful."

Before Jeff met Pei Wencong and Li Ye, he was an auto mechanic. Although Li Ye didn't understand why a Stanford history graduate would work in the auto repair industry, his life at that time was undoubtedly a bit embarrassing.

Because at that time, after Jeff read the conditions proposed by Pei Wencong and confirmed "only profit, no loss", he signed the contract without hesitation without negotiating the price, which made Li Ye even doubt whether he was a lighthouse person.

And after signing the contract, Jeff immediately asked Pei Wencong to send him a car to take him to the Hong Kong Island Airport, and flew back to the lighthouse overnight.

Seeing his hurried look, Li Ye felt that in addition to being afraid of delaying the auto repair work of the lighthouse, he seemed to want to save accommodation, taxi fares, and meal expenses.

But now Jeff is a middle-class man with a royalties of two million, and in order to write with peace of mind, he moved from a crowded urban home to his favorite countryside.

You must know that in Beacon, the cost of settling in the suburbs is not necessarily lower than in the city!

Wen Leyu nodded slowly, because Li Ye gave her detailed information about Jeff. It can be said that it was indeed Li Ye who changed the lives of Jeff's family.

My younger sister, Fu Yiruo, looked over and asked with admiration: "Brother, how many people's destinies have you changed as a kind person?"

Wen Leyu also looked at Li Ye quietly.

Li Ye changed Jeff's fate, changed Fu Yiruo's fate, and also changed her Wen Leyu's fate.

Li Ye said calmly: "Kindness is always mutual. If you change others, it is equivalent to changing yourself. Just like you have to like someone first before others will like you!"

"Oh~"

Fu Yiruo turned to look at Wen Leyu and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is my brother talking to you about love? How did he like you in the first place?"

Wen Leyu was angry and funny, and reached out arrogantly to pull Fu Yiruo's little head away.

It was obvious that she liked Li Ye first, okay? She is an honest girl.

But after Fu Yiruo was pulled away, he remained unyielding and pushed his head back with a smile, making sure to make Wen Leyuwen blush.

She has known Wen Leyu for almost two years, and she knows very well that although her sister-in-law is rational, calm and decisive,

But when it comes to emotional issues with Li Ye, she is a "thin-skinned" little girl who is very fun to tease.

But this time Wen Leyu was the first to say: "Children don't understand, don't ask questions. Also, if any boy talks to you in the future, report it honestly immediately. You can't make the decision casually, or I will call Aunt Fu and tell her."

Fu Yiruo's little mouth immediately opened into an O shape, as if she had seen a second "stern mother".

Li Ye couldn't help but smile.

Do you really think Xiao Yu is easy to mess with? Look, it’s getting urgent!

. . . . . . . . .

"Welcome, Mr. Pei. On behalf of me and my family, I would like to thank you all for coming. This is my wife Ilia, this is my eldest son Hunter, and this is my second daughter Aleka."

As soon as Pei Wencong got off the bus, Jeff warmly welcomed him, and then introduced his family to Pei Wencong, Li Ye and others.

In fact, Jeff knew that Pei Wencong was coming, and originally wanted to take the initiative to visit Pei Wencong, but Pei Wencong refused, saying that he hoped to spend a pleasant weekend at Jeff's house.

So Jeff quickly started to prepare and treated this reception as a big event.

"Mr. Jeff, you're welcome. In fact, it's us who disturbed us. This is my friend Mr. Li, and these are Miss Fu and Miss Wen."

Pei Wencong smiled and exchanged greetings, and then gave him a gift that was neither light nor heavy.

Li Ye, Fu Yiruo and Wen Leyu also each gave a gift to Jeff's child.

Jeff's wife and children were very happy, and Jeff looked at Li Ye and recalled it carefully, and then suddenly remembered that when he signed the contract in Hong Kong Island, Li Ye was sitting on the sofa in the office.

Jeff didn't pay much attention to it at that time, but now that Li Ye followed Pei Wencong across thousands of miles and came to the lighthouse to meet him, wouldn't Li Ye be the original author of "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

So Jeff quickly shook hands with Li Ye: "Long time no see, Mr. Li, welcome to your arrival."

Li Ye was quite surprised. Don't they say that East Asians all look the same to people in Lighthouse? How come Jeff could still recognize him after only meeting him once two or three years ago?

. . . . . . . .

Jeff prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain Li Ye and others. Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, when Pei Wencong talked about a topic, Li Ye found that Jeff's face changed, and it was obviously a little strange.

"We came to Dengta this time to invest in some high-tech companies. Mr. Jeff should know that this kind of venture capital is very common in your Dengta,"

"But when we seek cooperation, we always encounter some undue resistance due to differences in culture and beliefs, so we hope to find a partner from Dengta."

Because Pei Wencong knew that Mr. Witt Jeff was a relatively honest person, Pei Wencong did not hide it and went around in circles. He directly invited Jeff and implicitly expressed the reason for inviting Jeff.

"Due to differences in culture and beliefs," it is actually because of the difference in skin color. The "undue" resistance is actually unfriendly discrimination.

Venture capital is not like foreign exchange speculation and stock speculation, which are quick money-making businesses. You can trade casually regardless of your identity, buy low and sell high, and leave when you make a profit. At least you have to have a formal company, and you have to be a little famous in the industry.

For example, Li Ye took a fancy to a small technology company, and then went to the door and said directly, "I am a rich man from the mysterious Eastern country. I am very optimistic about you. Please name a price."

People might think that Li Ye is a liar.

And what if it was Sequoia Capital that came to the door? Then they would take it seriously and report their true requirements.

Besides, this time with Wang An Computer Company, Pei Wencong first contacted Mr. Wang An, who is also a Chinese, through the relationship of the wealthy Chinese circle in Hong Kong Island. After many attempts and exchanges, it came to the final stage. The process was very cumbersome and consumed a lot of Pei Wencong's energy.

So Wang Lie's sudden change of mind made Li Ye and others so angry.

But if it was a well-known company in the industry that talked about cooperation with Wang Lie, this situation would never happen.

So after Li Ye and Pei Wencong discussed, they thought that there could be many channels for the funds to be injected into and out of Dengta, but there must be a venture capital company and a reliable partner in Dengta.

Jeff is a good candidate, especially since he is a graduate of Stanford University. Although he is a history graduate, he has more convenient connections in Silicon Valley.

After listening to Pei Wencong's words, Jeff nodded silently, said nothing, and just ate in silence.

Pei Wencong was a little surprised.

Under normal circumstances, he has already extended an olive branch, and Jeff should climb up the ladder and talk to Pei Wencong about questions such as "How much shares do I own? How much can I earn? How much risk do I take?"

But now Jeff's behavior seems to be against money?

Or am I being too implicit and not clear enough?

Pei Wencong pondered for a moment and said directly: "Mr. Jeff, are you interested in being our partner?"

Jeff shook his head: "Mr. Pei, thank you for your trust and kindness, but I am very satisfied with my current life, so I don't want to make any changes."

"."

There is no way to talk about this. It's not a good deal if you rush to the lighthouse. Can I beg you to make money with me?

But Pei Wencong was a little depressed. This time he came to the lighthouse, he was frustrated in two consecutive things. How could it not be disappointing?

So at the next dinner table, Pei Wencong led the topic to Jeff's three children.

According to the tradition of the flower-growing family, you have so many children, you have to make more money to make them live better, right?

Although the two million US dollars in royalties are not small, it is not much when it is divided into each child!

But Jeff's wife smiled and interrupted: "Mr. Pei, in fact, we lighthouse people are different from you Orientals. The future of children needs to be controlled by them, and their lives can only be decided by them."

Isn't this the Oriental "children and grandchildren have their own blessings"?

"Heh~"

Li Ye smiled silently.

In his previous life, the nephew of Li Ye's boss married a girl from the Lighthouse, which made the whole family unhappy, so that Li Ye's boss vowed to "never marry a Lighthouse person".

Because the girl's parents are almost sixty years old, they don't have their own house, no savings, and their daughter doesn't have a dime of dowry when she gets married.

But the problem is that the girl's parents are still driving around all day, traveling and wandering around, not working hard, and they owe the bank a credit card.

It's like showing off to his son-in-law's family: "Look how free and easy I have lived my life, you idiots, why are you stupidly forcing the suffering that your children should suffer on your own heads?"

When Li Ye's boss said this, Li Ye's colleagues were divided into two factions.

Some people say that the parenting habits of Lighthouse people are superior, and young people should rely on themselves. Get out of the house after the age of eighteen and don't come back to rely on their parents.

However, the opposition believes that any traditional custom, if it can be passed down for thousands of years, must have its reasons.

The tradition of the flower-growing family is that the whole family gathers the strength of three generations to support the new generation of successors, hoping that each generation will be stronger than the previous one, rather than hoping that their descendants will be talented and break the vicious cycle of poverty from one generation to the next.

The two groups argued back and forth and neither could convince the other, but in the end, Li Ye's boss said something quietly.

"If your family always leaves their children and grandchildren with their own blessings, then in a few generations, there will be no children and grandchildren at all."

The tradition of the Flower Planting Family is actually forcing every generation to work hard. No one is allowed to be lazy and work hard to pass on the family's bloodline and hope.

And the current idea of ​​Jeff's family is not the style of all lighthouse people. After all, those rich people don't do it this way.

That old Ba, who was clamoring all day to donate all his property, clamoring for so many years, didn't he want to regret it when he got old?

However, just when the dinner was about to end, Li Ye realized that he had misunderstood Jeff again.
