Dressed as a cannon fodder substitute for a beautiful president

Qi Zheng and Li Yunshan brought more detailed materials to meet with the person in charge of the Lemon Fund.The office is in New York, and the location looks more formal.

During this time, the Lemon Fund has successively sent email notifications to several entrepreneurs, wanting to learn more about the feasibility of the project.Qi Zheng and the others were not the only lucky ones in B University, so she tried her best to prepare every detail.

For her, this is a rare opportunity, and it may be the only opportunity.

"I've never been so nervous about going to an interview at work." Li Yunshan took a few deep breaths before stepping into the elevator. She worked in a large domestic advertising and marketing company before, so she had seen the scene before.

Qizheng didn't talk much along the way, and was occasionally nervous, but most of the time he was thinking about how to perfect every detail in the plan.She simulated what questions the person in charge of the fund would ask later, and how she should elaborate to present the project better.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Li Yunshan leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Qizheng, how did you get selected by Mr. Shen in the first place? Is the interview the kind where you pass three tests and kill six generals?"

Qizheng's work experience has been clearly written in the self-introduction at the beginning of the semester, but not everyone has the opportunity to ask about the specific details.

Qizheng recalled for a moment: "She didn't make things difficult for me."

Li Yunshan is used to Qi Zheng's calm rhetoric, and seems to be quite bearish on everything.I have basically never seen her describe anything with extreme exaggeration, except for her depression when she first started school.

At other times, Qizheng is in such a calm state, which is quite enviable.

When I saw the person in charge of the Lemon Fund, I was surprised that he was a Chinese.

"Mr. Brown, hello, I'm Qizheng, and this is my partner, Li Yunshan."

In the team introduction of the business plan, it has already been explained in detail, and Qi Zheng did not repeat it.The other party seems to have known about it, and showed obvious interest in their arrival.

"Ms. Qi and Ms. Li, I am very glad to see the entrepreneurial ideas of the two. We believe that although the target market is relatively small, it is worth exploring and operating in depth, and there is a certain room for development."

Hearing what he said, Qizheng was naturally happy, but she didn't show it too obviously.

"I invite you here this time to learn more about your views on this project, especially how you plan to implement it in the early stages of the project."

Brown's question revolves around the implementation of the project, and doesn't seem to care about whether the project will be profitable.

"Because we are international students ourselves, we have experienced life across different cultural environments in a short period of time. The culture, life and education models between the two countries are quite different, which is a challenge to people's ability to bear pressure and adapt."

Qizheng spoke while Brown listened carefully.

"Many people have to face such an environment, and then force themselves to accept it, lacking the appropriate time and method to switch. However, everyone's personality and ability are different, and it is not suitable for forced adjustment. Cause serious consequences. For example, psychological breakdown, emotional anxiety or laissez-faire, indulgent life, etc. "

These, indeed, appear concentratedly on some young international students.

Brown also had such classmates around him, but he had no life experience in a cross-cultural environment, so he couldn't empathize with Qizheng.

"Then what is your biggest purpose in choosing this project?"

make money?Satisfaction?Challenge yourself?

Qizheng thought for a while, and said frankly: "Of course, starting a business hopes to achieve both career and economic success, but I also hope that our compatriots can go on the road of studying and living overseas more easily and smoothly."

Brown nodded from time to time, and commented: "Entrepreneurship does require certain feelings. Without feelings and dreams, many times you will give up halfway."

Qizheng is not just crazy, insisting on making earth-shattering feats.She just hopes that with her own ability, she can have her own sky in a certain field down-to-earth.

Brown carefully read the materials they brought again, and asked the last question: "If this project can be realized, will you stay in the United States or return to China after the project has a prototype?"

"We won't go back until the project is fully mature and stable."

Brown didn't ask any more questions, and asked the secretary to send them away, saying that they needed to study it carefully and would give an answer in the near future.

Li Yunshan walked out of the building, feeling: "Obviously the atmosphere is not serious, why did I always sweat for you just now?"

Most of the time just now, Qizheng was answering Brown's questions, and she was thinking about this project almost every time she had time.She already knew the key data by heart, and she could blurt it out without looking.

Li Yunshan's familiarity was not as good as Qi Zheng's, that was her own mother, she was at most a godmother.

"This is the first hurdle. What we have to face in the future is the question from the entire market."

Qizheng was also nervous, but she knew very well that she had to take this step, and she had to take this step steadily.

She looked back at the tall building, and couldn't tell which window belonged to the Lemon Fund, but she hoped that she would have a chance to come again.

The seed fund of 50 US dollars is enough for their small-scale business to start, and they can even maintain it without profit for half a year.

Qizheng is very realistic, she chooses to apply for this kind of fund that is dedicated to supporting small businesses, and she doesn't join in the fun of those that have anything to do with technology or Internet projects.

Neil Consulting sent an interview notice to Qizheng, but Qizheng did not treat him perfunctorily just because he had met the people from the Lemon Fund.Like other applicants, she has familiarized herself with relevant information many times.

Zhuang Muqing invited her to dinner, but what she saw was the person who was having a self-simulation interview conversation.

"It's more effective for me to cooperate with you if you talk on your own and lack meaning."

Zhuang Muqing read through Qizheng's interview questions she had found on the Internet, and spoke to her in pure and slightly faster American English.

Qizheng has been able to adapt to the context here, but there is still pressure to talk to the local.

Sensing her nervousness, Zhuang Muqing explained: "People in consulting companies generally speak very quickly, and there will be a lot of industry jargon. I didn't mean to put pressure, but you have to adapt to this situation in advance."

Qizheng understood that she definitely didn't want to show how good her language was, but it was really difficult for her to grasp some places accurately.

After a mock interview, it took more than half an hour.

A company like Neil Consulting would not give her so much time at all, so Qizheng needed to compress her good performance into 10 minutes.

Zhuang Muqing handed the information back to her, and Qizheng saw that many places had been circled on it, and there were many English annotations.

"I drew the place where you dealt with hesitation just now. Some problems are because of words, and I don't know the specific reasons for some problems. Maybe it's the cultural differences you mentioned?"

Zhuang Muqing and Qi Zheng are both yellow-skinned, black-haired and black-eyed, but they grew up in a completely different cultural environment, and their way of thinking is also completely different.

Zhuang Muqing learned from Qi Zheng that there are also many interesting differences between different regions in China, and Qi Zheng learned more about American culture through Zhuang Muqing's guidance.

Qizheng said gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance, you helped me find out all the problems in one go."

With targeted, naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

"So can we go eat now?"

Qizheng packed up his things, and said bluntly: "I invite you for today's meal, if you still want to be polite, then I won't dare to do anything in front of you from now on."

Zhuang Muqing also likes that wonton shop very much. She has eaten there a few times, and every time she finds something new and delicious.In comparison, she is not very willing to go to the place that needs to drive for more than an hour.

There are better options, why bother to look far away?

Shen Zhibing looked at the information that Yunfei had verified, with a gloomy expression.

Yunfei also felt quite helpless. When Ai Li sent these to her, he even said a few dirty words.

"Mr. Shen, Lin Muyun suddenly established the Lemon Fund, and the direction is very clear."

"How many times has Qizheng been in contact with Lemon's people?"

"I have met at least twice, and each time it was a man named Brown. This person is an investor, but he has not made any real investment in the past two years, and there are not many projects in his hand."

This kind of person seems to be used to put on a facade, Shen Zhibing briefly scanned his information and ignored him.

"Is the fund I asked you to set up before ready?"

"It's all ready, and I have bought a few small projects that have not been in operation for a long time. There should be no doubts."

Yun Fei thought that Boss Shen asked her to prepare this to compete with Lin Muyun's Lemon Fund, so she tried to pretend as realistically as possible.

"Stand still for now, and pay attention to observe the situation on Qizheng's side."

Yunfei has kept in touch with Qizheng recently, and also learned something from Anna.

"She will go to Neil next Monday to consult with the second party. It is said that the first party has a pretty good impression on the other party. Her plan has also entered the finals of the entrepreneurship competition at University B, but Anna said that the probability of winning the first prize is relatively low."

Shen Zhibing raised his eyes: "Why?"

"Anna said that because her project is mainly aimed at Chinese students studying abroad..." Yunfei showed a helpless face, "For the issue of racial ratio, the school's judging committee believes that the final market size will not be too large."

Shen Zhibing sneered, and said disdainfully, "Narrow."

Qi Zheng has been busier recently, and even Li Yunshan was worried that she would not be able to hold on, but she was also driven by Qi Zheng's infection, and she was in a hurry with her.

"How to live strong with faith, I really understand now." Li Yunshan just printed out a newly revised marketing plan.

Qizheng took it over and looked at it carefully: "This is just the beginning. If we can really succeed, we will definitely be busier in the future."

Li Yunshan complained about it, but she didn't show any fear, instead she was full of expectations.

"Qizheng, do you think we will get 50 from Lemon or 20 from the school?"

Qizheng actually prefers to take the Entrepreneurship Encouragement Fund from University B. The first prize is 20 yuan, the second prize is [-] yuan, and the third prize is [-] yuan.

"The one with 20 is probably not very hopeful."

Li Yunshan was not convinced: "You can't just deny the potential of our project just because of the prejudice of those people in the school."

"It is true that they are biased, but at present we have no ability to make them admit their mistakes." Qizheng also felt angry, but she knew that if those people want to change their prejudices or admit their mistakes in judgment, they must show real results. .

Nothing is more slap in the face than you exceeding their expectations.

Qizheng thought for a while: "Actually, our project can be started with [-] US dollars, no matter which one it is, it is good."
