Chapter 368 Nothing but Rejection and Respect

"What, come to work in your company?"

After hearing this, Lin Muchiu, who was unprepared, was startled. She opened her pink lips and blinked her eyes, not knowing how to answer.

"Well, yes, Mu Qiu, I want to invite you to join our company because my stall may be a bit big in the future and I need talents like you to help me."

"Director Li, would you like to work in the project company that I hired myself in our park?"

"Mu Qiu, listen to me. My next plan is to go to San Francisco, USA, to invest in and create a business incubator, and to go to Shanghai, mainland China, to develop and build a high-tech industrial park. So right now, I urgently need you to understand management and have the skills. Resources and talents!”

Li Xiaofan continued: "If you can come and help me, I want you to go to Silicon Valley in San Francisco to help me build a business incubator. Your role is to be a partner of this business incubator, and I will give you part of the shares. And You spent some time at the University of Southern California as an exchange student when you were at the National University of Singapore. Time, we are relatively familiar with the situation in California, and as you know, our company has recently raised a new venture capital fund with a capital of 100 million US dollars, and we urgently need to go to the Bay Area to find some good projects like early Yahoo. . This job is not only interesting, but also full of challenges and opportunities..."

Hearing this, Lin Muchiu was a little excited. She has also recently been studying the incubator, a new business incubator in the United States.

When she was a sophomore at the National University of Singapore, she went to the University of Southern California for a year as an exchange student. After I joined Ascendas Group and was responsible for the investment promotion work of the Singapore Science Park, I often needed to go to the United States for business trips. Therefore, she is relatively familiar with the situation in the United States.

Li Xiaofan picked up the wine glass and said: "Mu Qiu, I also know that telling you this matter today may be sudden and you are not mentally prepared. You don't have to be in a hurry, think about it first before replying to me. Come on, cheers!"

"Oh... cheers!"

At this time, the waiter brought them a large plate of traditional Spanish seafood risotto.

Among Spanish delicacies, the most unmissable thing may be this authentic seafood risotto. The diners who have tasted this seafood risotto here in the past few days are full of praise: Spain’s national staple food really needs a Spanish chef to make it delicious and authentic!

Authentic paella sauce, Spanish bombarice bomba rice, Spanish special rice for paella, the two are mixed and cooked, the rice fully absorbs the sauce, and the chewy rice grains are full in the mouth.

Argentinian red shrimp, mussels, squid and other fresh seafood are piled inside, and the color makes people appetite.

Li Xiaofan used the small plate on the side to help Lin Muchiu take part of it and handed it over:

"Come and try the authentic Spanish seafood risotto. It is said that this dish is the main delicacy of this restaurant!"

"Thank you. You are such a busy person, how can you know so much? Have you eaten here before?"

"The girls in the office are all food lovers. They strongly recommended this restaurant to me during lunch today..." Li Xiaofan said with a smile.

"Director Li, I heard from Sister Aileen that your girlfriend and Sister Aileen's sister-in-law Tang Xinyi also went to San Francisco in the United States?"

"Yes, Mu Qiu, after you said that, I remembered that if Xinyi and I get married in the future, we will be relatives! Then you have to help me!"

Lin Muchiu took a sip of ice white wine, shook her hair, and smiled:

"Director Li, I never expected that after I recruited you to join our park, we could actually become distant relatives. And next, I will become your subordinate..."

"Mu Qiu, don't say that. I sincerely invite you to be my business incubator partner. We are not just a superior-subordinate relationship. Mu Qiu, you are so capable and have such rich resources. If you come to help me, you are equivalent to coming out of your own." Start a business. Moreover, you should have seen Xinyi. How many times? You two can be friends in San Francisco in the future. You met Xinyi’s third sister Zixin last time. She was very nice. We even had dinner together at her restaurant. I didn’t know it at the time. In terms of your relationship with Irene, Zixin can be considered your cousin..."

Lin Muqiu, who was slightly tipsy, looked at Li Xiaofan and said, "Director Li, when you say that, I feel like I can't refuse..."

Li Xiaofan raised his glass and said: "We are all one family, why are we talking about two families? Come on, cheers, let's settle this matter! You will hand in your resignation letter tomorrow and come to work in our company next month!"

Lin Muchiu said angrily: "Director Li, I haven't even thought about it yet, why don't you help me decide..."

"What else are you thinking about? Such a good entrepreneurial opportunity. Our venture capital fund has so much money lying in the account, waiting for you to help me find good projects to invest in! No need to think too much!"

"Haha, Director Li, can you let me think about it for one night and I will reply to you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, no problem!"

…

Three days later, Li Xiaofan flew to San Francisco with Pan Zhanlong, Wang Danrong and others to visit the Idealab business incubator.

After arriving in San Francisco, Tang Zixin told Li Xiaofan that after contacting Bill Gross, the founder of the Idealab Business Incubator, she learned that the Idealab Business Incubator was not in San Francisco, but in the Pasadena in Los Angeles, California.

illGross often came to the Bay Area and Silicon Valley to look for projects every few days, so Tang Zixin mistakenly believed that his Idealab startup incubator was in Silicon Valley.

Pasadena is called Pasadena in Chinese. It is a medium-sized satellite city in the Greater Los Angeles area of ​​California, USA. The most famous California Institute of Technology is in this small town.

Fearing that Li Xiaofan and his friends did not know the way, Tang Zixin personally drove Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi to Pasadena and left the restaurant to her husband.

The distance from San Francisco to Pasadena in Los Angeles is about 600 kilometers, and it takes more than 5 hours to drive.

On the way, Tang Zixin introduced while driving:

"When I was studying, I often went to Caltech in Pasadena, because two of my best friends from junior college were studying there. Now one of them has completed her doctorate and stayed at JPL in Caltech to work..."

"JPL, what company?" Li Xiaofan asked curiously.

"The full name of JPL is Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In Chinese, it should be called the American Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Is this translation correct?"

"Wow, JPL is the famous American Jet Propulsion Laboratory!" Dr. Pan Zhanlong exclaimed. He seemed to know this institution very well.

"Do you know this institution?" Li Xiaofan asked curiously.

"Well, when I was studying in China, I was very interested in aerospace-related knowledge and knew a little about it. This Jet Propulsion Laboratory should be a subordinate institution of NASA, responsible for developing and managing unmanned space exploration missions for NASA. It should have been founded in the 1930s by the famous professor von Karman of the California Institute of Technology. Three famous scientists in our country, Qian Weichang, Qian Xuesen and Guo Yonghuai, were once von Karman's proud disciples!"

Hearing Professor von Karman and three famous scientists such as Qian Weichang, Qian Xuesen and Guo Yonghuai, Li Xiaofan was immediately in awe.
