Chapter 328

Of course, that's what it said, but it certainly won't be so easy in practice.

But with this sentence, Su Chen felt relieved.

Comforting Deng Yuanyuan, she said: "With Mr. Clara's words, you can put your heart in your stomach. This is a well-known barrister in Boston. If you don't even get this salary back, wouldn't it damage the barrister's reputation?" head?"

"Man, I don't like to hear your words." Clara blinked: "If you are willing to increase my salary a little bit, I think I will finish this matter right away."

Su Chen laughed: "Look, our barrister is getting into the eyes of money, barrister, if you help me with this matter, I will be very grateful to you."

"As long as you still come to me for any business next time, then I believe we will have a good cooperation." Clara also smiled heartily, and then said: "Well, let's go over after drinking this cup of coffee. "

Several people sat down for a while.

After drinking coffee, I went out, took two cars, and went to the Mexican restaurant where Deng Yuanyuan worked.

With the help of a barrister, the matter became much simpler. The unscrupulous Mexican boss wanted to deny it, but the barrister didn't cover it, and moved out various regulations.

Then he said: "Listen buddy, if you take out these hundreds of dollars now, then I won't pursue this matter any further. If you don't want to take it out, we will sue you every day, my client You don’t care about the lawyer’s fees, but you’re struggling to defend yourself, and that’s not good for you.”

The expression on the Mexican boss's face twitched violently, and angrily took out [-] dollars from the cash drawer.

"Take it, don't disturb my business, otherwise I have the right to sue you."

After getting the money, Clara would naturally stop pestering him.

He handed the 800 dollar knife to Deng Yuanyuan and said, "Girl, if you encounter this kind of thing next time, remember to ask me. You don't have to worry about the cost, and someone will pay for it for you."

"Thank you, thank you for your help." Deng Yuanyuan said gratefully.

If she was alone, it would be impossible for her to get her salary so easily.

But she didn't expect to get the money so easily now, Su Chen helped her a lot.

"Su Chen, thank you, and Avril, thank you for your help."

Deng Yuanyuan handed over $500 to Su Chen.

Su Chen shook his head: "Don't worry about paying me back, you spend it first, and you need money for everything, don't worry."

Deng Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to accept the money first.

"Then I'll pay you back when I make money."

"Okay, it's not too late to return it to me when you earn money. By the way, I'm going to New York on the 30th. Do you want to come with me?" Su Chen asked.

Deng Yuanyuan thought for a while: "Let me check the schedule first. It's not easy to answer you now. If I make a decision, can I give you an answer?"

"Okay, waiting for your news."

After doing this, Clara didn't stay and drove back directly.

Anyway, he will send Su Chen a bill for the expenses.

As long as Su Chen remembers to pay, it will be fine.

There seemed to be nothing wrong at the moment, so Su Chen asked, "How about I take you back?"

"No, I have to go to work." Zheng Yuanyuan shook her head: "If I have time, I will visit you again to thank you for today's work, and I will treat you to dinner then."

"Okay, then we will go back first."

After watching Deng Yuanyuan leave, Su Chen and Avril also got in the car and left here.

……

Tang Wanru and Miranda, who went to Natick, finally came to the place and successfully met Jack Little, the founder of The MathWorks.

He was the co-developer and chief architect of the early versions of MathWorks' flagship products, the Signal Processing Toolbox and the Control System Toolbox, and he has a lot of profiles and various titles.

In addition to him, Cleve Moler, who joined later, is the chairman and chief scientist of MathWorks. Moler has served as a professor of mathematics and computer science at the University of Michigan, Stanford University, and the University of New Mexico for more than 20 years.

However, he did not join MathWokrs full-time until 1989. Before that, he worked for Intel Hypercube and Ardent Computer computer hardware production companies for five years.

Tang Wanru and Miranda are now in Jack Little's office.

"I don't know why the two of you suddenly came to me?" Jack Little asked straight to the point.

Tang Wanru said: "Mr. Little, I am here mainly because our boss wants to combine a large number of mathematical and image processing functions with high-level languages ​​to create an efficient technical computing environment, but because he himself suddenly If something happens and I can't come, I will run for him."

"Our boss has been admiring Mr. Little for a long time. After hearing that Mr. Little founded such a company, he was very interested. At the same time, he thinks that this efficient technical computing environment has great investment prospects, so he wants to invest 300 million dollars in MathWokrs. .”

She didn't hesitate or be vague, she went straight to the point and made it clear why she came.

Otherwise, Jack Little would never meet her, because she didn't know anything about this, and she couldn't chat with Jack Little at all, and she would definitely reveal her truth in three sentences.

It's better to show your purpose.

"Your boss?" Jack Little asked curiously, "Is he also in the computer industry?"

"No." Tang Wanru shook her head, and continued, "I wonder if you have paid attention to two books recently, one is called "Principles of Economics" and the other is called "Macroeconomics". The author of these two books is me. boss."

Miranda said: "At the same time, he is also the person who recently acquired 20th Century Fox and several TV stations under Capital Media Company. He is a Chinese with great vision."

"Chinese people want to invest in my company?" Jack Little was even more puzzled.

"Yes, our boss wants to invest 300 million US dollars. At the same time, the company's operations and personnel arrangements are led by Mr. Little. He will not ask about anything, nor will he send people to manage the company, let alone incorporate the company into his within the group."

Tang Wanru said: "I don't know if Mr. Little has noticed that our boss is very young, he is not yet 30 years old. He respected Mr. Little in the conversation with me before. If it wasn't for the sudden incident, I would like to meet with you now." It's not me, it's our boss."

Jack Little shook his head: "Sorry, I haven't considered recruiting investors for the company, and if I recruit investors, it may not be what your boss said."

Tang Wanru simply took out the document from Su Chen: "Mr. Little, this is a letter from our boss, please read it."

Just as Jack Little was about to refuse, Miranda said again: "Mr. Little, I think you can consider our boss's suggestion. He has a deep relationship with Wells Fargo, and also has a very good relationship with the Lawrence and Lowell families in Boston. .”

There is no way, now Su Chen has no reputation at all, unlike Buffett, who knows people as soon as he mentions his name, so he can only use contacts.

It means to tell Jack Little that this investor is not short of money, and has a large network, and we really have the strength to invest.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Jack Little changed his mind and reached out to read the letter written by Su Chen.

"Mr. Little, hello..."

When I looked up, it was Su Chen's handwriting, and I wrote a lot.

"...existing programming languages ​​such as Fortran and C are no longer sufficient, and I think our engineers and scientists need a more powerful and efficient computing environment.

To this end, I have an idea, the same idea as Mr. Little, to develop a software combined with the rich experience of high-quality people in the fields of mathematics, engineering, and computer science.

The ability to combine extensive mathematical and image processing functions with high-level languages ​​provides a more efficient technical computing environment...

As my CFO, Ms. Mary, told you, I always believe that professional things should be done by professional people. A software company like MathWokrs should have talents like Mr. Little or Professor Cleve Moler.

Please forgive me for my unintentional offense, because only quality people like you are more suitable to lead this company, all I can do is invest independently and not manage anything..."
