Hello, 1983

The cafes in Silicon Valley are decorated with a sense of technology. It must be admitted that the atmosphere of technology here is really good.

Walking into the cafe, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think of Zhongguancun in the capital, which was designated as a high-tech industrial development pilot zone this year.

As for the official renaming of the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park, it was already 1999.

Liu Qingshan has decided that his own Jade Bird Technology is located in Zhongguancun, at least in terms of land use and other aspects, he can enjoy some benefits.

But whether or not he can get his own Jade Bird phone out depends on the outcome of today's meeting.

Liu Qingshan and Jiang Renyi found a quiet booth, and a waiter came to greet them immediately.

Seeing the oriental faces of the two guests, the waiter asked softly in Mandarin, "Are you two also international students from China?"

Liu Qingshan also smiled and nodded, and then extended his hand to the waiter: "I'm glad to meet my compatriots here, where is your hometown?"

He listened to the waiter just now, and he seemed to have a northern accent, that's why he asked this question.

"It's from Spring City, Ji Province." The man's eyes lit up, and he heard it too.

"Haha, it turned out to be a fellow, hello, hello, my name is Liu Qingshan."

Being in a foreign country, hearing the local accent, of course, is also very cordial.

Hearing the name, the waiter was stunned for a moment, and then shook hands with Liu Qingshan: "You two have something to drink, I'll treat you today."

"We'll talk about the treats later. I'll give you a call first. This is a student aid society we run. It specializes in subsidizing international students from our country. You can try to apply."

"Then someone will check, and if you meet the criteria, you'll get a grant of up to $10,000."

Liu Qingshan happened to find some work for Lao Xiao by the way, and handed Lao Xiao's address and contact number to the waiter.

At this time, a twenty-five- or six-year-old Chinese man walked into the cafe.

He looked around, saw Jiang Renyi, and walked over here.

Jiang Renyi stood up: "Introduction, this is Liu Qingshan."

"Mr. Liu, this is Lu Zhi. He is currently studying at Stanford University, majoring in mathematics and computer science."

"Hello."

Liu Qingshan stretched out his hand, and then looked at the international student named Lu Zhi, who was wearing a thick pair of glasses and looked a little dumb.

Her hair was messy, her clothes and trousers were very casual, and at first glance it was a cheap street stall.

Lu Zhi also stretched out his hand, shook hands with Liu Qingshan, and asked, "Are you also an international student?"

Liu Qingshan motioned for the other party to sit down, and soon the waiter brought three cups of coffee, and Liu Qingshan said:

"I used to be an international student, and now I'm back in China to develop."

It can be seen from this Lu Zhi's expression that he must not care much about current affairs, otherwise, he would not have heard of Liu Qingshan, a popular name in the United States recently.

Some people are like that, they get absorbed in their area of ​​interest and then automatically exclude other information.

After all, people's energy and time are limited, and such people are more likely to succeed in their own fields.

"Oh, how is the country now, I haven't gone back for three or four years."

Through the thick lenses, Lu Zhi's eyes were a little far away.

Liu Qingshan took a sip of coffee: "There has been some development in the past few years, but compared to this side, of course it is still very backward, but I am optimistic about the future, Brother Lu, what do you think?"

At the end, Liu Qingshan asked a question, because this is very important.

"I have no idea."

Lu Zhi shook his head.

As you can see, he is a very honest man.

Perhaps this is also the real thought of the vast majority of international students. Few people can believe that China's rise will be so rapid.

Liu Qingshan nodded, and then said bluntly: "Brother Lu, I want to invite you to go back to China to start a business together."

Lu Zhi immediately fell into silence, and didn't move at all about the coffee in front of him.

"Brother Lu, if you have any requirements, you can say it, and I will try my best to do it."

Liu Qingshan didn't know what the other party was thinking, but Lu Zhi was still a sullen gourd, so he simply asked directly.

Lu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Qingshan: "I have already submitted my resume to Apple, and they offer an annual salary of $50,000 a year."

"In China, it's definitely not possible to do that."

He shook his head as he said, "I need this salary, my mother and family have paid too much for me over the years."

"Although they don't say it, I know that the family must have owed a lot of debts over the years, and the younger brother and sister also gave up their studies because of this."

The more Lu Zhi said, the more excited he became, and his eyes were already a little red: "I am the biggest hope of the whole family. I have obtained too much from this family. In the future, I need to take up the pillar of the family and repay my family."

He took off his glasses, wiped his eyes directly with the back of his hands, and then smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I haven't said these things to anyone for a long time, I'm a little excited."

Liu Qingshan also took a deep breath: "I fully understand that I have two older sisters, and my father passed away early. The eldest sister took on the burden of the family early for the second sister and me to continue their studies."

"My mother is not in good health, and she still insists on doing farm work, she almost fell ill from overwork."

"So I can fully understand your feelings and feelings, because I will also be responsible for my family."

Lu Zhi was also excited and held Liu Qingshan's hand tightly:

"I thought you would criticize me, saying that the country has cultivated me for so many years, and I won't go back if I go here. I am an ungrateful person."

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "If a person doesn't even love his own home, what is patriotism?"

Then he stretched out his other hand and patted the back of Lu Zhi's hand vigorously: "However, my method is slightly different from yours."

"What you choose is to get a high salary here, and then subsidize your family."

"What I choose is to lead my family and villagers to start a business together, improve everyone's living standards, and embark on the road to prosperity."

While talking, Liu Qingshan took out a few newspapers from his bag: "You can take a look, this is the change in my hometown."

When Lu Zhi saw the familiar four words in the People's Newspaper, he immediately read it seriously.

The newspaper has gone through several years, but the content is all about the drastic changes in a small mountain village called Jiapigou.

In the newspaper, Lu Zhi saw Liu Qingshan's name many times.

It took more than half an hour for Lu Zhi to finish reading the newspaper. He raised his head and looked directly at Liu Qingshan:

"You are better than me!"

Liu Qingshan's face also showed a smile: "I am in the United States, and there is a film company that just released Home Alone and earns 200 million US dollars."

"There is also an Internet company that will be listed soon. By the way, it is the one called Earth Network."

"So, I can do the $50,000 annual salary you mentioned, and I can even do it better, such as assigning you a house in the capital, allowing your younger siblings to continue their studies, etc."

"Brother Lu, please believe me, although we have different paths, we are the same kind of people!"

Liu Qingshan only showed a part of his strength, but it should be enough to persuade Lu Zhi to return to China.

"Earthnet, very good, the email I use now is also the free email provided by Earthnet." Gu

After all, Lu Zhi is also a peer. He doesn't watch movies, but he knows the earth network.

Liu Qingshan smiled again and stretched out his hand: "Brother Lu, I invite you to go back to China to start a business together, do you agree?"

"I……"

Lu Zhi stretched out his hand, but stopped in mid-air: "But my main attack is mobile phone electronics, I'm afraid it won't help you?"

"Apple also wants to develop mobile phones, so that's why I was invited to join the company."

The smile on Liu Qingshan's face was even brighter: "Brother Lu, I invite you to go back to China. I am also developing a mobile phone, which belongs to our own mobile phone in Huaxia."

"it is good!"

Lu Zhi stood up directly, stretched out his hands, and firmly held Liu Qingshan together.

Finally got one!

Liu Qingshan also let out a sigh of relief, and Jiang Renyi will take care of the follow-up.

You need to give Lu Zhi a sum of money first, not too much, just a few thousand to ten thousand dollars, and tell him to finish the affairs here and return to the country in a beautiful way.

In addition, it is necessary to draw up a purchase list after Lu Zhi goes back. Try to get all the equipment and equipment you need back first.

In this way, the research and development can be started immediately after returning to China.

As a result, Lu Zhi was also impatient, so he took out the pen and paper and started to make a list.

Liu Qingshan didn't understand much, but Jiang Renyi was an expert, and he was dumbfounded by the side: these instruments and equipment do not have hundreds of dollars, I'm afraid they can't buy them.

Seeing Jiang Renyi's tangled expression, Liu Qingshan smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry, go shopping, don't forget, I'm worth hundreds of millions of dollars anyway, and I can still get this money."

With such a normal investment, Liu Qingshan certainly would not be stingy.

Jiang Renyi also nodded, with a lot of emotion in his heart: This is also Qingshan, even if it is replaced by a national enterprise, it is estimated that it will not be able to get this foreign exchange.

Even if you can get it, you will definitely not want to.

Finally, Liu Qingshan still has one thing to ask Lu Zhi, and that is whether he can find a few like-minded friends or classmates to go back and start a business together.

And he also promised: At that time, he will definitely be able to get some shares in the company.

In this regard, Liu Qingshan is absolutely generous enough: If you want people to better serve the company, then tie the employees and the company together.

Lu Zhi also seemed to attach great importance to this matter. When he left, he took away the newspapers after obtaining Liu Qingshan's approval.

Originally, Liu Qingshan wanted to keep him for dinner, but Lu Zhi bluntly refused:

"If it goes well, we will have more time to eat together in the future."

Liu Qingshan can only be left to him, and Liu Qingshan is more willing to contact people like Lu Zhi, and is not tired at all.

The two waited in the cafe for a while before welcoming the second guest, Lu Changqing.

Also an international student, Lu Changqing studied at the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in materials science.

This one is different from Lu Zhi just now. He is very well-dressed and looks sunny and handsome.

It is estimated that even in the country, it should be the group of people with relatively wealthy families.

After shaking hands and greetings, Lu Changqing looked at Liu Qingshan with a strange look. After taking a seat, Lu Changqing finally couldn't help but ask:

"Are you that Mr. Mountain Liu?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded. He knew that among the international students, there were also a small number of families with superior family conditions. In fact, more of these people would choose to stay here.

Therefore, different strategies should be adopted for different types of international students.

"Wow, it's really you, lucky to meet you."

Lu Changqing's current appearance is like fans who are excited and excited when they see their idols.

Shaking hands with Liu Qingshan again, Lu Changqing said, "Mr. Liu, you are the pride of our people!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand: "I can't talk about it, I just happened to show my expertise in these areas. In fact, everyone who can come here to study abroad has a skill, but there is no opportunity to show it."

"No, you're too modest. I watched the Oprah show you were on, and it was amazing."

Lu Changqing seems to be very talkative, and when it comes to excitement, he can't stop:

"In our school, there are many classmates who want to learn kung fu from me. I guess they all think that as long as they come from China, they can learn kung fu. Hahaha, it makes me embarrassed and proud."

Liu Qingshan also hurriedly led the topic again: "So, classmate Lu, I now invite you to go back to China to start a business. What do you think?"

Lu Changqing looked at Liu Qingshan: "Let me ask, are you starting a business with you?"

Liu Qingshan nodded: "Of course, our main research and development..."

"That's great, of course I want to!" Lu Changqing readily agreed before Liu Qingshan finished speaking, and he didn't even know anything about research.

This made Liu Qingshan quite surprised. He thought it would take a while, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Unexpectedly, he has such a great personality charm.

They also left their contact information with each other, and also asked Lu Changqing to draw up the required materials and equipment, and also asked him to help contact like-minded friends.

However, when Lu Changqing was leaving, he had to ask Liu Qingshan to sign him, and he had to sign his English name.

It is said that after returning to school, I want to give it to my girlfriend as a gift for breaking up.

"Actually, it can also be brought back to China."

Liu Qingshan didn't mind buying one get one free. He could guess that Lu Changqing's girlfriend must be a foreign girl.

Lu Changqing waved his hand: "We are not for marriage, or we are in a foreign country together to comfort each other's lonely hearts."

Jiang Renyi next to him muttered: "Any love that does not aim at marriage is a hooligan."

And Lu Changqing turned around and added: "My girlfriend is a girl from an island country, haha."

this guy.

Liu Qingshan and Jiang Renyi only looked at each other and shook their heads, but Liu Qingshan was still in a good mood: he got another one.

Looking at the time, it's almost time to make an appointment with the third person.

This time, Jiang Renyi has contacted a total of three international students, all of whom are the most outstanding students in their respective fields. Of course, Liu Qingshan wants to gather these three Musketeers.

The last one is a chemistry major, and his main focus is on new batteries, which is what Liu Qingshan values ​​most.

Because he knows the future development trend, for mobile phones, the battery is too important.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Jiang Renyi looked at his watch, the appointed time had passed.

This third person, who he only contacted by phone, has never met him. It seems a little unreliable, and at least he can't keep up with the time.

At this time, the waiter just now came over, put on hot coffee for the two of them, and said with a smile:

"I've been waiting for you two, I just got off work, let me introduce myself, my name is Li Yifan, and I am the person you asked for. I am honored to be invited by you to develop our own domestic mobile phone and do my best. power."

Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "You are welcome, fellow, haha, it seems that the bursary can be saved."
