Reborn with Consumption System

Chapter 977: Chapter 396: Pushing the Limits_2

The room is full of wealthy people, but that doesn’t mean you can easily get money from them.

According to Guo Wei’s current strategy, each startup egg enterprise is invested with several thousand US Dollars to twenty thousand, and then he finds ways to solve management, manpower, and strategic issues for them, striving to hatch the egg enterprise. The process usually takes several months to half a year.

Han Lie’s one million USD for him is to be used sparingly, act according to one’s capability, and can be invested into dozens of egg enterprises, keeping him busy for a whole year.

The largest single investment Guo Wei previously received was 300,000 USD, which has almost been spent.

How could he not be excited?

Nearby, the chatter about Han Lie grew increasingly noisy.

"Who is that person? Brother Guo is behaving like a school kid in front of him, such a big presence!"

"Brought by Sister Tang, should be another rich family’s offspring, right?"

"Doesn’t look like one of the students in the circle... anyway, definitely not from our province."

"Not from the Bay Area either."

"Why are you looking at me? How could they be from Australia? Go ask the East Coast idiots!"

After everyone’s discreet inquiries, they found that nobody recognized him. It could be basically confirmed that he’s an outsider.

When confirmed information was conveyed from Guo Wei’s side, the crowd at the bottom became instantly lively.

"Whoa! Really investing?!"

"Anderson, shall we go have a chat with President Han?"

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

The current gatherings are no longer limited to only European and American international students, and not just the second generation.

From time to time, thirty-something elder brothers appear at the gatherings as either grandpas, grandsons, even acting like wolf dogs, nanny dogs or lick dogs; it’s all very normal.

Some people come just to play, some come to socialize, others specifically look for opportunities.

The top second generation’s curiosity about Han Lie was primarily based on Tang Xintian.

While the curiosity of academic achievers and societal people regarding Han Lie was mainly due to Guo Wei’s success.

If he can do it, what’s stopping me?

Thus, they didn’t even give Han Lie a chance to leave, as wave after wave of people submerged him.

Purely mingling for familiarity, coming for Tang Xintian, introducing one’s entrepreneurship ideas, recently returned home trying to inquire about jobs, sparked with romantic interest due to Dog Lie’s aura...

Brother Lie was all-embracing, having lively conversations with this group of future elites.

Today’s gathering was truly fascinating, with an extreme polarization, almost no middle ground.

Either they are full of wealth, power, playing with exquisite flair or they are elites among the second-generation or mid-class scholars.

No matter what kind of person, Han Lie handled it smoothly and effortlessly.

The result was particularly ideal; he actually discovered several highly talented individuals.

For example, Xie Hongrun, who has already started an entrepreneurial venture and is a deep learning expert;

Another one named Guan Qi, currently working as a quantitative development engineer at a quant fund in Silicon Valley, could be significantly useful upon hiring;

The biggest surprise came from a plain-looking young girl named Ruan Wei, who is one of the rare machine learning engineers in the country currently, with three years of work experience, a Ph.D. in computer science and information systems from MIT, yet her actual age is only 24.

Han Lie was overjoyed immediately and extended her a job offer.

Machine learning and deep learning are two different matters, their differences are hard to encapsulate in just a few words, but both are undoubtedly important.

However, for the moment, they hadn’t reached an agreement, as this girl came today seriously looking for a partner...

"Tomorrow you can visit our company, there are many exceptionally talented young men... If you can’t find one another way, what about me?"

To win over the genius girl, Dog Lie even cast aside his pride.

Fortunately, everyone knew he was kidding, laughed it off.

Instead, Sister Da Tang felt a pang of irritation hearing "many talented young men in the company..."

...

Honestly speaking, today’s gathering was definitely worthwhile, Han Lie didn’t expect so many unexpected gains.

The overseas student community, the lousy ones are truly lousy, the muddled ones truly muddled, and the impressive ones are truly impressive.

Their impressiveness is reflected on two levels.

One is individual quality.

Ph.D. graduates from Qingbei, academically they are not inferior to Ph.D. graduates from renowned foreign universities, but the international perspective gained from studying abroad and the self-reliance and focus honed in unfamiliar environments indeed enhances potential more.

Thus, high-end talents who lay the foundation at Qingbei undergraduate level and then pursue master’s and doctoral studies at international famous universities have always been in high demand.

The second is family background.

Those eligible for extravagant indulgences abroad have incomparably good capital and resources domestically.

They may themselves lack ambition for serious work, but opportunities are abundant everywhere, only if you know how to utilize them.

If you find a way to befriend them, you provide intellect and effort, they provide money and resources, it’s easy to succeed.

Guo Wei is walking down this path, and in a few years, he will rise to fame and achieve success.

That’s why predecessors always say good schools themselves are resources, because of this reason.

Han Lie’s operation in the financial market doesn’t require external assistance, but when he plans to create an equity investment fund in the future, the more connected friends, the better.

Thus, today’s attendance was indeed not in vain.

Midway through the socializing, Brother Lie suddenly spotted an acquaintance, waved his hand, and the other party immediately widened his eyes in surprise, like a Shiba Inu, and ran over excitedly.

"Brother Huai, long time no see!"

"Oh my, Brother Lie, what are you doing here?"
