Declining the exclusive interview, Qi Hao and An Feng simply walked the red carpet and went inside.
During a disaster, it wouldn't be appropriate to be too ostentatious.
They entered relatively late and, after exchanging pleasantries with others, seating arrangements began.
Bazaar naturally didn't reject Qi Hao's requests.
He and An Feng sat at one of the main tables, with a female entrepreneur, unrelated to Qi Hao, on An Feng's other side.
On the other side of Qi Hao was...
Lei Jun!
The fish took the bait, and quite quickly at that, appearing at Bazaar Charity Night by "chance."
Qi Hao wanted to invest in Xiaomi, but he certainly wouldn't actively seek out and knock on Lei Jun's office with money in hand.
Investment is like courting; you can't be too proactive.
Being too forward can put you at a disadvantage during negotiations, and it could fuel the target's ambitions, making them feel particularly valuable and deserving of someone better.
