"Aming, are you interested in this project?" Wen Lixin poured a glass of red wine for Zhao Ziming and asked with a smile.

"A few feel pretty good," Zhao Ziming took it and took a sip, the astringent feeling melted on the tip of his tongue.

"The Lafite in 83 was a year wrong with the 82. The taste is similar, and the price is very different." Wen Lixin raised the bottle in his hand.

"Next time I go to China, I will give you two." Zhao Ziming smiled.

After getting in touch with the knowledge of red wine from Xiaoshui, Zhao Ziming also worked hard and began to collect red wine under the guidance of professionals.

Whether it's arty or really like it, red wine is indeed a symbol of high taste in the world.

"That's OK," Wen Lixin became happy.

It can be seen that he loves red wine very much.

If Zhao Ziming knew this, he would definitely prepare gifts in advance.

The Global Chinese Technical Managers Association was established. As a sponsor, Zhao Ziming naturally had to take a trip. It happened that he was on a roadshow in the United States and rushed to San Diego from Washington to participate in the establishment of the association.

Needless to say, Wen Lixin is naturally the president, and he deserves it with his connections and reputation in the industry.

Zhao Ziming made his debut in the world due to the recent artificial intelligence fire, and was hired as one of the three external consultants of the Technical Managers Association.

Although the name is the Chinese Association, the scope is not limited to the Chinese. It just hopes to build a bridge with the world's most advanced technology.

At the end of the meeting, the two returned to Boston school to talk about some things.

With the establishment of the association, there are many projects waiting to be sold. Zhao Ziming has to rely on Wen Lixin's contacts in this.

"There are any projects that can be in your eyes, it must be good." Wen Lixin turned the topic back and started talking about business.

"WiTricity, you should have heard of it," Zhao Ziming said.

"Well, I know that although this company is not well-known to the outside world, it is a household name in the industry, and everyone has always believed that it may be the next Fortune 500",

Wen Lixin knew which one Zhao Ziming said when he heard the name.

WiTricity, is two English letters put together, wirelesselectricity, wireless charging.

It is definitely the overlord in this field. Although there are no mature products on the market, it holds 300 patents for wireless charging. The horror can be imagined, and almost all patents are in hand.

There are two biggest application areas for wireless charging: one is a car and the other is a PC computer. Just think about the size of the market.

"The company is good and the threshold is high, I'm afraid I can only look at it", Zhao Ziming smiled.

In fact, with the strength of WiTricity, there is no need to come to the conference to find investors at all. Venture capital can break the company's threshold, but this also indirectly shows the connections of the founders such as Wen Lixin.

Zhao Ziming wanted to talk to the other party, but felt too abrupt. After collecting some information, he found that WiTricity was indeed unusual.

Although the company is small, with only more than 200 people, it has strong technical strength.

It has cooperation with GM, Toyota, and Dell, and the shareholders behind it are well-known companies and venture capital institutions.

Although there is no profit and loss every year, it is not bad for money.

"Now, the entire wireless charging market has two major camps, WPC and A4WP, each of which is supported by a bunch of large companies. The entire industry chain is relatively sound and the technical standards are relatively good. The future market is not difficult to imagine."

Wen Lixin said briefly, he is very optimistic about wireless charging and turned the topic back.

"If you want to invest, there is no chance."

"Oh, I would like to hear the details", Zhao Ziming raised his eyebrows, very interested.

Wen Li saw this and explained,

"I don't dare to pack the votes for others, but Amin, with your reputation, it's okay to be a general investor, just a little wronged."

Generally, investors have no seats on the board of directors, do not participate in operation and management, and only enjoy dividends.

"Haha" Zhao Ziming smiled.

It seems that Wen Lixin herself has suffered from the hardships of domestic tyrants and said such a thing.

So far, the internationalization strategy of Chinese companies has mainly been to acquire, buy and buy abroad.

Local tyrant style, domineering side leakage.

However, there are big disadvantages in doing so.

The correct approach for most large companies is to make strategic investments first, gradually understand the other party, and wait until the other party's company has grown to a certain level, and the listed company completes the acquisition or completes strategic cooperation.

If large companies do not have a strategic layout in advance and take it for granted, they will not be able to gain mutual understanding and recognition.

Sometimes cultural incompatibility can easily ruin a merger.

Take small businesses as an example. Any company that is attractive to domestic enterprises must have its extraordinary features.

Generally speaking, large foreign companies are not blind to seeing. They have been a shareholder for many years, and domestic capital has been bought out like a barbarian, but they cannot achieve the purpose of cooperation.

In other words, the Chinese are also very upset about the direct acquisition of their own national brands by foreign companies.

"If you have a chance to enter," Zhao Ziming replied.

He was naturally unwilling to be just a small shareholder. When the company went public, he would sell shares at a high price and cash out.

Now for him, making money is not the main purpose.

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. If there is no one to match the line, it is impossible for others to play with you. At this stage, let's talk about the relationship first.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with you tomorrow." Wen Lixin was also very happy to see this, and explained a little bit.

"WiTricity CEO Alex Gruzen is a good friend of mine. Their company is just outside of Boston."

"Then I will trouble you." Zhao Ziming was not surprised when he heard this. As the leadership of Boston College, Wen Lixin has such a network of connections.Although Boston College is not well-known in the country, it is also one of the 25 "New Ivy League" schools.

"Get what you need," Wen Lixin poured herself a little red wine and continued.

"Now that the domestic economy has developed, the company has money. It started cross-border mergers and acquisitions and bought everywhere. It just didn't pay much attention to business rules. The first thing was to spend money, tuition fees were paid a lot, and there were no results, so foreigners began to look at people. Cai, when he encounters domestic capital, he speaks loudly."

Zhao Ziming smiled and did not speak.

In fact, domestic bosses, who are not human beings, do not know that they have been taken advantage of, and have their own small abacus.

Cross-border mergers and acquisitions, but a big concept, spread to the domestic stock market, the stock price does not know how much the upper limit is required, compared to the research and development of new products, it is better for investors to earn a little money.

"Forget it, don't talk about this." Wen Lixin also felt boring.

He wants to promote foreign technology and domestic docking, but he wants more than just a reputation, he listens nicely, and he wants to do a career, but there are many things that he cannot help himself.
