Chapter 12 Pig Man

It is said that although JG restaurant is not as expensive as a prostitute, it does have a lot of trouble.

The menu cannot be ordered a la carte, and there are only four set meals to choose from. Li Zhiyi casually ordered a set meal with ten all-vegetarian dishes, and it took him half an hour to eat a dessert.

The waiter who was standing by and diligently changing the tableware for the second course told him that French cuisine is a ritual, and that each dish must be savored with all your heart to make your taste buds explode. The entire meal takes about four hours.

Li Zhiyi clenched his chin and played with the table knife with one hand to show that he knew, but I just wanted to eat slices of bread soaked in toad leg soup. I am a barbarian.

The waiter was immediately at a loss for words after saying this, so he could only ask the cook to come out and apologize to Mr. Li in person, saying that he was very sorry for dissatisfying you today, and then served all the dishes on the table like a banquet in the countryside.

Foie gras bread slices, prawns, steak, oysters, mashed potatoes and caviar, fried bullfrog leg soup...

The unlearned Li Zhiyi didn't know how to use fancy words to describe the appearance and taste of these dishes. He just thought it was quite good to eat them open, much better than the one in Shanghai.

Especially the dark lava chocolate with a bit of pulp, it tastes really good, and it is probably a dessert that girls will like very much.

In fact, he had eaten at JG in New York in his previous life, after he started working.

At that time, when I came to New York to visit this JG, I no longer pretended to be cool. Two of the three tire factory stars were lost. I don’t know where the Wolong chef invited from Sangu Thatched Cottage cooked salty dishes, as if he had robbed the salt truck.

Even the so-called "etiquette" of formal dining can't be maintained. If you come to the restaurant without formal attire, you will be given a free suit to the customer. Li Zhiyi remembers that it is from Zara or some other fast-selling brand.

At that time, he was still thinking that it was a good deal to wear mixed clothes for dinner. After dinner, he walked out, and the waiter on high heels chased him and said that our family didn't give out clothes for dinner. The scene at that time was very embarrassing.

This made Li, the pretentious dealer, Zhi, petty-minded, and Yi feel that he had lost the face of the people of his motherland. He was so angry that he went back to the hotel to light up a lamp and write an 800-word anonymous negative review on Yelp, the largest foreign review application.

…………

While Li Zhiyi was thinking about the miscellaneous trivial matters in his previous life, he finished his meal and paid the bill and left the restaurant. At this time, the night outside was getting darker and the lights were starting to turn on.

After having enough water and food, I drove aimlessly in my supercar through the bustling streets with flashing neon lights. I lowered the window and blew in the cool evening breeze of September night. I then smoked an after-dinner cigarette. I felt comfortable but somehow also a little lonely.

"Hey Jude, do bad."

"Take a sad song aer."

“na na na na na…”

While waiting at the traffic light, singing suddenly came from the street. Li Zhiyi turned around and saw a few drunken men and women holding each other's back, laughing and singing the Beatles. After a few seconds, a street performer played the guitar and caught up with the accompaniment, and then one after another

Many passers-by stopped to watch and join in the fun.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly wanted to chat with someone for some reason. He picked up the phone and dialed the address book: Qiao Yang, Sister Wang, Henry, Long Qi...

The car following behind honked the horn to signal the green light. Li Zhiyi started the car and dialed Qiao Yang's phone with one hand. The phone rang for a long time before he was picked up. With a slightly noisy background sound, Qiao Yang asked: "I'm attending a class meeting."

The birthday party was a little noisy, what’s the matter?”

"...It's nothing. I took Long Qi's hat yesterday and I want you to help keep it and return it to her when she comes to play with you next time." Li Zhiyi explained casually.

Qiao Yang asked strangely: "Did you two quarrel again?"

"No, I've been busy lately and don't have time to give it back to her."

Li Zhiyi was about to hang up the phone. Qiao Yang quickly said, "Is it convenient for you now? I'll send you the address. Come and find me."

"No, I'll send it to her when I have time."

"Come on, I happened to be drinking, come and help me drive the car back." Qiao Yang said with a smile.

This girl is considered the richest woman in Li Zhiyi's small circle. Her wealthy father bought his daughter a Porsche Cayenne for transportation after she was admitted to Barnard College before enrolling.

Li Zhiyi responded to hang up the phone, then turned around and headed to the address she sent.

While driving, Li Zhiyi couldn't help but think of Yelp again. Every time he thought of this website, he felt like eating shit. He even stepped on the accelerator without consciously using more force.

Yelp is a review website launched in 2004. This website is not limited to food, drink and entertainment, but can review everything.

Li Zhiyi once saw a very impressive post on this post. It was written by a kind man who had been in prison for more than ten years. He reviewed every prison he was lucky enough to live in, including which prison.

I also wrote that the toilet pit is the most comfortable to squat on.

Finally, he also suggested that if you want to commit a crime, you should go to the XX precinct first. The police there treat you like a spring breeze and will drink urine when you are thirsty.

Under the post, many prisoners anonymously commented and shared tips for being in jail. They pretended to be sick to get double meals and drinks, pretended to be Jewish and got preferential treatment, pretended to be fans of the local football team... This should be used with caution. If the local team's record is very bad, it may be brought up.

He was treated as a human punchbag by the prison guards to vent his anger.

Anyway, Yelp is a very strange but very popular review website. If you look at Meituan in China, you will know that this thing has a bright future, so Li Zhiyi made some money from stock trading last year and wanted to invest in this company.

Since smart mobile terminals have not yet become popular, Yelp is not very large. Logically speaking, 2 million US dollars can barely buy one share. However, the damn Yelp founder discriminated against him because he is a little boy from Asia.

The business plan that he had prepared so hard was turned into a pile of waste paper before it could be presented. This made Li Zhiyi disgusted. From then on, he never paid attention to the venture capital market and has been silently waiting for the financial crisis to come.

As for why you didn’t just start your own business?

Because clear self-awareness is one of Li Zhiyi's few advantages. He knows very well what kind of person he is and where his ability boundaries are.

In his previous life, he had to manage a private equity team with more than 20 people. Starting a business from scratch and building a giant company that dominates a certain field is somewhat of a wishful thinking for him.

He can be a genius investor or the best product manager in the world, but he may not be an excellent project manager.

Managing a company is not as simple as raising salary or firing, and not all entrepreneurs can be called founders; Lei Jun said that pigs can fly on the wind, but only if they are like Pig Man, who can lick a lollipop and become a founder.

pig body.

Half an hour later, Li Zhiyi arrived at the door of the villa where Qiao Yang was attending the party. Qiao Yang walked out of the villa side by side with a man and a woman.

"Wow, the Aston Martin DBS was just released last year. It's so handsome."

It was obvious that the boy who looked like ABC was probably drunk, and his speech and body movements were more exaggerated than those of black people. Another white girl hugged Qiao Yang goodbye, and then ABC also wanted to hug Qiao Yang.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyi stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and Qiao Yang and the other three were startled.

"Sauri, the car I just bought is a little hard to control."

With such a fake smile on his face that he couldn't get out of the car, Li Zhiyi walked up and held Qiao Yang's fair little hand, and continued to talk to ABC: "I hope you don't mind."

"Xie Te, if I hadn't been drinking so much that I couldn't stand still, I would have given you the middle finger." ABC was very sincere.

Li Zhiyi laughed out loud when he heard this. Qiao Yang also smiled and smoothed things over and introduced to his two friends: "He's joking. His name is Li Zhiyi...just call him Zhiyi."

The white girl greeted him politely, and the ABC boy thought for a moment and said, "I've met him before, at Goldman Sachs."
