Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 548 Unfathomable
Lawrence Rockefeller rode slowly to Qin Haoran and Octavito's side, looked at Lawrence Rockefeller at a close distance, Qin Haoran found that he had a gentle temperament, if it wasn't for the "sweat horses" riding on those godly horses In fact, Lawrence Rockefeller is more like a scholar.

Seeing Lawrence turn sideways off the horse, he nodded and smiled at Qin Haoran: "Are you the Qin Haoran that Okwito mentioned?"

"Hello, Mr. Lawrence." Qin Haoran acted neither humble nor overbearing, but he had a high opinion of Lawrence in his heart.

Although Lawrence is a heavyweight in the Rockefeller family, when he faced Qin Haoran, a "little shrimp and small fish", he did not show an expression of arrogance and contempt, but was very friendly.Based on this alone, there is still a big gap between Okwito and his uncle.

But Okvitto saw that Lawrence had dismounted, and of course he could not ride on the horse, so he hurriedly got off the horse, and those grooms and followers immediately stepped forward to take the two "sweat horses" away, and at the same time provided for Lawrence and Oak. Vito brought water.

"Come on, Qin, go and sit inside. Octavito and I will take a shower and change clothes first, excuse me."

Qin Haoran nodded: "It's okay."

Afterwards, Lawrence and Okvitto went to take a shower and change clothes, while Qin Haoran came to the reception room of the clubhouse not far away, and a maid immediately brought him tea and refreshments.Then, the servants waited outside the reception room.

Qin Haoran was sitting alone in the reception room, but what he was thinking about was the reason why Octavito asked him to meet him.Before this, Qin Haoran thought that Octavito had something to discuss with him, but now it seems that Octavito is obviously introducing Lawrence Rockefeller for himself.

Lawrence looks only in his early 40s, but in fact, he is over fifty this year.At this time, Lawrence had already become one of the heirs of the Rockefeller family, and even a big figure in the American financial circle.The "New York Securities Company" managed by him is the first professional venture capital firm in Wall Street and even the United States, and it is also the most famous venture capital firm.

In various fields of American society and economy, there are companies invested by "New York Securities Company", although many of them have not yet shown much competitiveness, and even their development prospects are not clear.But Qin Haoran knows that within ten years, the benefits that these can bring to the "New York Securities Company" are definitely beyond anyone's imagination.

Qin Haoran is now thinking about what purpose Octavito arranged for him to meet with Lawrence.

Just as he was thinking, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and Lawrence and Okwito, who had changed into decent suits, also came in.I saw a faint smile on Lawrence's face. He looked very friendly and amiable, and it was hard to make people feel bad.

"Qin, I'm sorry for the long wait." Lawrence said with a smile to Qin Haoran: "This is the first time we meet, I have always been interested in your Chinese culture, and I have many Chinese friends myself. "

Facing Lawrence's hand extended to him, Qin Haoran immediately got up to meet him, and the two held hands together.

"Come on, please sit down." Lawrence made a "please" gesture to Qin Haoran.

So, the three of them sat around together, and Lawrence also ordered the servant to bring a set of Chinese tea sets, and an iron box with the word "tea" printed on it.

Then, under Qin Haoran's surprised eyes, Lawrence skillfully performed a series of actions such as washing tea, making tea, and pouring tea, and then handed Qin Haoran a cup of fragrant tea.

"Unexpectedly, Uncle Lawrence is a master of the tea ceremony." Octavito said with a smile.

Qin Haoran really didn't expect it, but after he took a sip of the fragrant tea, he suddenly felt that the tea was sweet but not strong, moist but not astringent, and the tea fragrance lingered for a long time.This kind of tea, which Qin Haoran once drank, is the Dahongpao from the mother tree in Wuyi Mountain!
This is extremely precious tea. The mother tree on Wuyi Mountain can only produce a few taels of tea in a year, and it is often specially supplied to the country's leaders. Especially in this era, it is impossible to leak out.

Therefore, judging from Lawrence being able to own the top-grade red robe, Qin Haoran even wondered whether the central government had any friendship with the Rockefeller family.After all, with the strength of the Rockefeller family, they are absolutely qualified to make friends with any head of state.

Although China and the United States have not come out of the shadow of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and the relationship between the two countries is even more rigid, politics has always been more unpredictable than women. friendship.

Lawrence seemed to have caught Qin Haoran's mind, at this moment he casually smiled and said, "This tea was given to David by a friend of our Rockefeller family, and David knew that I like Chinese tea, so he gave it to me. "

Qin Haoran was startled in his heart, secretly thinking that Lawrence Rockefeller was so perceptive that he could sense his thoughts in an instant.The friend of the Rockefeller family he was talking about was obviously Chinese, and most likely an important official of the country.

In addition, this top-grade red robe was so precious, yet Lawrence used it to entertain himself, which showed that he valued him very much.What Qin Haoran couldn't figure out was, not to mention Lawrence, even Octavio didn't know him well, so why did he attract Lawrence's attention so much?

"I have always admired you Chinese." Lawrence smiled again: "A nation that has been passed down for thousands of years is worthy of respect no matter what. And among the four ancient civilizations, your Chinese heritage is the most complete. "

"It's just now." Qin Haoran couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Because Qin Haoran knows that after the reform and opening up, compared with China's rapid economic development, the spiritual civilization of the Chinese people can't keep up with the pace, and there is even a retrogression phenomenon. gradually disappeared.

Of course, Qin Haoran didn't say these things.

And Lawrence's views on China are also to the point. Like other Americans, everyone commented or even criticized China's socialist system.

"Mr. Lawrence, I actually know you." Qin Haoran said: "You are a celebrity on Wall Street and a top figure in the American financial circle. You pioneered venture capital investment and will definitely become a figure recorded in all economic textbooks in the future. As for me, I'm just a small businessman, at best a member of a small family in Hong Kong, I don't understand, what ability do I have to make Mr. Lawrence so favored by you, worthy of being entertained by this precious and extraordinary top-grade big red robe?"

Lawrence was slightly taken aback, a little surprised by Qin Haoran's straightforwardness.On the other side, Okvitto was also very surprised. He didn't tell Qin Haoran that he would see Lawrence beforehand, but Qin Haoran actually knew about Lawrence's situation, and said that Lawrence would become a character recorded in economics textbooks in the future. Such a high hat If it were Octavito, even Lawrence would feel benefited involuntarily.

Lawrence smiled and said, "Qin, from your words, you also have a good understanding of venture capital."

Qin Haoran nodded, and Lawrence said again: "I remember that you Chinese have a saying like this, 'Maxima is common, but Bole is not common'. In fact, venture capital is the same, and projects worth investing in There are many, but there are very few investors who can uniquely tap the potential of these projects and let them realize their potential."

Listening to Lawrence's words, Qin Haoran had a wonderful feeling that he "deserves his reputation".

Many well-known celebrities, in fact, will find that their personality charm is not as great as the rumors after actually getting in touch with them. However, there is another kind of celebrity. Only when you have personal contact with them can you truly feel their charm.

Lawrence obviously belongs to the latter category. His insights into venture capital are so unique and so profound that even those old professors who lectured on venture capital when Qin Haoran was studying at Princeton University in his "previous life" His explanations were far less profound than what Lawrence said just now.

Qin Haoran couldn't help admiring in his heart, Lawrence Rockefeller was worthy of being the "Father of Venture Capital", and he really lived up to his reputation.

"The reason why venture capital is called venture capital is not the risk of the investment project, but the inherent risk of the investors themselves." Lawrence said.

"A project that can help us earn the most profit must be invested in its embryonic stage. However, such a project, no matter how strong its competitiveness is later, but in its embryonic stage, it is difficult to invest in it. It is equally humble and difficult to be discovered. Therefore, the risk of venture capital investment actually lies here with investors." Lawrence tapped his left temple to signal his eyes.

"It's a matter of investors' vision. Just like Bole, if he can find a Maxima, he is Bole. If he doesn't, he can only be an ordinary groom." Lawrence said, "So I don't think this is a horse. The problem is not the problem of people, but the problem of people. The investment project itself is not the key, the key is the eyes of investors. Therefore, the person I admire most is Lu Buwei in your Chinese history. ’, which fully expresses the true meaning of venture capital.”

"Extraordinary goods to live in..." Qin Haoran muttered to himself.

Reminiscent of the historical Lu Buwei who made friends with the proton of the Qin State in Zhao State, and later spent a lot of financial resources to help him ascend to the throne of the Qin State, and he also obtained the greatest benefit from it.

From an economic point of view, this can indeed be called the most successful venture capital investment.

However, what made Qin Haoran feel more powerful was the scholarly Lawrence Rockefeller in front of him.
