Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 657 Tradition~ Do you understand?
This time Chen Li met the YouTube and Facebook teams, but there were actually not many people in total.

The people he met were actually the main creators. The reason why he met was mainly because Chen Li wanted to tell these R&D personnel the product concept he wanted.

In fact, simple video sites and social networking sites~ are not uncommon these days.

It's just that the existing websites are either limited to ideas~or funds or even other factors, and there may be some problems in the final development.

This is actually the reason why Chen Li placed his hope in investing in the original team, because Chen Li didn't know whether he would be able to succeed as he did in his previous life with a different group of people.

But after chatting with Xu Xing~ Chen Li realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

You know~ He doesn't lack that kind of funds now, and the facts have proved that these industries will indeed be successful in the future, so...
Why not give it a try?

Think about it carefully~ Maybe what Chen Li created here may not necessarily reach the height of his previous life, but in fact it doesn't have to reach such a high height.

In particular, Chen Li's positioning for Youtube and Facebook from the very beginning is purely for making money, so he doesn't need to think so much about what's there and what's not.

Invest some money and start the business directly, continue to do it if it works well, and sell the company if it doesn't work well. Anyway, the general direction of the Internet is here, and the chances of Li Chen losing money are not great!
As for making these two platforms bigger and stronger, Chen Li didn't think much about it.

Because he knows very well that these two platforms are fine for small troubles, but once they reach a certain scale, it is basically impossible to keep them in his hands.

Unless Chen Li is willing to immigrate, otherwise~ no matter which of these two platforms will be snatched away in the end.

Don't talk about anything else~ At that time, people will say that Chen Li is stealing the private data of the American people or something like that, and they will fine these two platforms every now and then, so Chen Li will still make a lot of money money.

So ~ if you can do it, do it, if you can't do it, sell it for money!
With such thoughts, Chen Li became more courageous, so he directly arranged the two projects at the same time.

Anyway, he is not short of that little money now~ and now that Xu Xing is helping him to watch, Chen Li can be considered more at ease.

I chatted with the two teams for a long time~ During this period, Chen Li treated them to a big meal, and then continued the chat in the afternoon.

Fortunately, Chen Li's English level is far superior to that of ordinary people. He thinks that he should accurately tell these R&D personnel the products and ideas he wants.

As for whether the things made by the latter group of people are what Chen Lixiang wants, that is actually not very important.

What matters is whether the market can accept the products they develop.

But these things take time to prove, and it may be difficult to see results in a short period of time.But Chen Libing is not in a hurry. After all, according to the trajectory of his previous life, YouTube and Facebook will not appear for several years.

Even if someone finds out about Chen Li's behavior and invests in this industry, Chen Li must be the one who takes the lead.

For a day, Chen Li stayed with those R&D personnel almost all the time, and this day was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

Because there is no New Year's Eve this year, New Year's Eve is actually the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

In fact, on the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month in Chen Li's cognition, it was already the morning of New Year's Eve in China.

After all, it was more than ten hours faster in China than in the United States, so when Chen Li was going to bed that night, there was a reunion dinner in his hometown.

So that night, Chen Li's phone bills were directly out of the meter. This is because many people know that he used SMS New Year's greetings in the end when he was abroad. .

No way~ The cost of international calls these days is really too expensive.

Maybe it was because it was tiring to talk about work with those R&D personnel during the day, or maybe it was because Chen Li's mood was relieved after paying homage to his family. In short, Chen Li had a good rest that night.

Chen Li got up early in the morning the next day, and went for a run in the hotel gym. When he returned to his room~ Xu Xing, Zhang Ruolan, Mu Xiaoqing and Master Cheng were already waiting for him .

Today is New Year's Eve~ Although we are in a foreign country, for Chinese people~ this day must not be handled casually.

Originally, according to Ma Xiaoyun's suggestion, the group actually planned to go to Chinatown to find a place to have a reunion dinner.

But Chen Li, who had already tasted the craftsmanship of restaurants in Chinatown, rejected the proposal. Today was New Year's Eve. Chen Li didn't want to treat his stomach badly.

So ~ Chen Li asked Xiao Wise for help, and directly borrowed a villa. He planned to cook by himself today.

After all, he is experienced in reunion dinner!

"Go to the back kitchen of the hotel first. The ingredients I ordered yesterday have been delivered there."

"By the way~ There are also things in the room. I contacted my friend for some Chinese condiments, and he sent them to me early in the morning."

Since Chen Li intends to cook, it is naturally impossible to be perfunctory, and at this time. Chen Li's system space comes in handy.

The ingredients are actually very easy to deal with. Supermarkets in the United States can meet most of the needs. As for the rest, Chen Li also placed orders directly from the system.

But when cooking abroad, the most troublesome thing is the various seasonings. Fortunately, Chen Li had prepared various seasonings in the system space before, and it happened to come in handy at this time.

So a group of people took the ingredients and seasonings in large and small bags~ and boarded the commercial vehicle sent by Xiao Wise.

When the commercial vehicle stopped by the side of the road again, Chen Li and his group arrived at a villa in a wealthy neighborhood in Manhattan.

Uh~ Well, in fact, Americans don't have a so-called villa.

So this so-called villa~ in Little Wise's mouth, it is just a property under the name of his uncle Howard Wise.

In fact, with the current "friend" relationship between Chen Li and Howard Wise, Chen Lixiang wants to find a place to hold a party~ Howard Wise will naturally satisfy him.

Because according to the information given by Goldman Sachs Huaxia~ Chen Li still has several high-quality companies in his hands.

So ~ Chen Li is actually Goldman Sachs potential ~ No, it should not even be described as potential, Chen Li is the closest partner of Goldman Sachs.

Well~ as long as there are enough interests, maybe an angel and a devil can be friends.

After borrowing the villa, Chen Li gave Xiao Wise a sum of money, intending to let him prepare some things for him.

Of course~ Chen Li can call Little Wise for free, after all, Little Wise's task during this time is actually to accompany Chen Li.

But Chen Li was unwilling to use the other party for free. It didn't mean that Little Wise didn't listen to him, but Chen Li knew very well that if he paid the fee, Little Wise's attitude would be better!
Don't look at Howard Wise is worth more than [-] million, and he is a senior executive of Goldman Sachs, but that is Howard Wise.

Even though Howard Wise is Little Wise's uncle, in fact, Little Wise's monthly income is not high, to be precise ~ it is not low.

It's just that based on Little Wise's usual consumption level and the consumption habits of Americans, this buddy is actually a moonlight family.

And for such a person ~ in fact, it is best to give him certain benefits, so that ~ when the other party helps you with things, it will be more enjoyable.

And the fact is exactly like this~ Although at the beginning, Xiao Wise planned to refuse the money Chen Li gave him.

After all, this buddy knew very well that his job duty was to accompany Li Chen, so how could he accept the money Chen Li gave him?
But after Chen Li put the money under the name of a party fee, Little Wise happily accepted the money.Then.
"Fuck~ what's going on?"

At this time, Chen Li had just stepped into the big iron gate of the villa, and he was even carrying a bag in his hand, which contained the seasonings he took out from the system space early in the morning.

The reason why he carried it by himself~ was mainly because there were some things in it. There were none in America, so Chen Li chose to carry it by himself.

But at this moment, Chen Li could no longer care about the bag in his hand, because after entering the range of the villa, he had already heard the sound of music and a woman's voice coming from the villa!
Well~ If there is a female staff member in the villa, it is actually not surprising.

But the problem is that what Chen Li heard was not the voice of one or several women, and judging from the voices that came, the other party could not be a staff member.

After all~ Even if the staff members are unacceptable, they shouldn't be able to sing loudly on this occasion, right?
That's right~ At the moment, the song "my love" released by Westlife last year is playing in the villa. Even Chen Li, who didn't know English in his previous life, is familiar with this song.

Of course~ the important thing is not the song, but the singer, to be precise, a group of people.

At this time, Little Wise had already pushed the door out of the villa, and opened his hands directly after seeing Chen Li and his party.
"Chen~ you are finally here!"

"I have to say~ The idea of ​​you Chinese people having a party at noon is really crazy."

"I even had to get up early for this!"

"Come on~ buddy, look at the surprise I have prepared for you."

Little Wise looks happy~ even a little bit excited, but it's normal~ parties are actually things that bring joy and excitement to people.

It's just that if this is a film and television drama, then the dubbing of the scene at this moment will definitely be "The Crow Calls".

Yes~ Although Little Wise seemed to be in high spirits, in fact, Chen Li and his party at the gate of the villa stood there and stared at him blankly.

Uh~ The scene seems a little awkward, no~ It's not really what it looks like, it's really embarrassing.

Because Chen Li and his party had already seen the large group of blonde girls in the villa through the opened villa door behind Xiaoweisi.

"Oh, damn it, what the hell did you misunderstand?"

At this moment, Chen Li didn't know whether to cry or laugh. God knows what he told Xiao Wise yesterday~ Did this guy not listen?

Chen Li gave Xiao Wise money to help him prepare Chinese-style pots and pans and other things. In addition, Chen Li also handed over some of the ingredients to the other party.

Little Wise didn't know if he did these things, but he knew very well that this guy had completely misunderstood the concept of dinners and parties.

Otherwise, you can't explain why there are such a large group of well-dressed exotic girls in the villa.

Uh~ Well, it seems that Wise really can't be blamed for this.

After all, there are differences between Eastern and Western cultures. When Chen Li interpreted his group dinner as a party, Little Wise subconsciously assumed the party thinking of Americans.

In the consciousness of Americans, since it is a party~ then two things cannot be missing.

Wine and beauty!
As for food or something?That doesn't matter!

At this moment, Little Wise also noticed something was wrong from the expressions of Chen Li and his party. This guy immediately started trotting, ran to Chen Li and asked in a low voice:
"Uh~ what's wrong?"

"Did I mess it up?"

After two days of getting along, Xiao Wise and Chen Li are actually quite familiar with each other, and Chen Li didn't have much airs before, so most of the time we used the mode of getting along with Xiao Wise as friends rather than working relationship.

"Uh~ Little Wise."

"Today I plan to have a dinner with my friends and colleagues, a private dinner!"

Chen Li raised his hand to cover his head, and he even closed his eyes at this moment, because just now he found that the eyes of Mu Xiaoqing and Xu Xing beside him had changed when they looked at him.

After all, compared with Zhang Ruolan who was often by Chen Li's side, these two people's understanding of Chen Li was relatively weaker.

And to be honest~ at Chen Li's age, after having achieved what he has achieved today, actually doing such a thing doesn't seem to be a strange thing.

Especially now that he is still in a foreign country, Xu Xing already knows some information, such as some wealthy people in China, who usually look polite, but after arriving abroad, their whole person has almost completely changed!

After all, the atmosphere abroad~ Compared with the degree of openness in China, the gap is not generally large.

"Today is our Chinese New Year's Eve ~ you should understand the Spring Festival, right?"

"On this day~ According to the tradition of our Chinese people, everyone will have a big meal together."

"Because I'm abroad~ That's why I said I want to hold such a dinner party!"

"Yes~ it's an event, not a party!"

"No, no, no, it's not an event, but it's actually a tradition."

"Do you understand tradition?"

In all fairness~ Chen Li's English level is already very high, but even so~ English is not his mother tongue.

Especially when Chen Li communicates with foreigners in English, occasionally words do not convey the meaning.

For example, now~ In order to explain his behavior today, Chen Li modified his expression one after another.

"Tradition?"

"Spring Festival. I understand, I understand!"

Little Wise nodded quickly. In fact, he really understood at this time, because just like Chinese people know that Westerners celebrate Christmas. As a little Wise who has a little understanding of Chinese culture, he really knows about the Spring Festival.

Well~ In fact, Xiao Wise misunderstood Chen Li's dinner today because he knew about the Spring Festival.

He did know that the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, but what he knew was actually not that accurate.

Because in his previous cognition~ Chen Li wanted to hold a grand party during the Spring Festival.

So there was the large group of girls in the villa at the moment.
