狂旅行之出發最後一刻

2018年11月16日
老黑因為小孩不方便請假的原因,決定不和我們去二十年就此一次的次級團體大集合美國之旅,小表因為沒有說服女兒又又,選擇不參加,迪士尼有愛沙顯然不夠力道。
我當然知道這些老朋友的毛病,猶豫病通常會伴隨後悔病,但是多年來一直身為強力說服者,整個人生都一直在說服他人,其實我也有點想吐。

我這輩子根本就是和中華民國男性的發財夢一起成長的,要出發去美國還帶著美國華僑老闆交辦的任務,去說服LA的有錢人,投資我們的未來獨角獸事業。
和投資者的簡報,我有超過100場的經驗,反正不是開會前喝紅牛,就是喝紅酒。激發超能力,眼框泛紅,慷慨激昂。最終去說服投資者那件事,可能糟蹋了紅酒,或是便利店的一罐廉價紅牛。

大家能去很好,不能去也不錯。小表最後開車載我們去機場,只要在台灣範圍內,他都能夠說服女兒又又參加。我和又又說,你不去我就不見愛沙了,努力淡化,想要說服的內在力量。

OB decided that he would not go with us on this trip to the United States, and this trip only happens once in 20 years. Owen couldn’t go either since he couldn’t convince his daughter. His biggest problem is that he can never convince anybody to do anything. Or he doesn’t want to. Actually, it is Disney’s character Elsa’s fault. She couldn’t help him to convince his daughter. "

Of course I am aware of the problems of these old friends. Hesitation is usually accompanied by regret, but for many years I have been a strong persuader and I have been persuading others throughout my life. In fact, I am a bit sick of that.

In my life, I grew up with the fortune dreams of men of the Republic of China. When I set off to the United States, I took the tasks assigned by the Republic of China boss to convince the rich  in LA to invest in our future unicorn entrepreneurship. 

I have much experience with investor briefings, anyway, either accompanied by drinking Red Bull before the meeting or drinking red wine, using super powers, making my eyes red and being passionate. In the end, I might ruin the wine, or the cheap red bull from a convenience store.

It ’s good for everyone to go, it ’s not bad not to go either. Owen  finally drove us to the airport. As long as it was within Taiwan, he could persuade his daughter to do that. I told his daughter that I wouldn’t meet Elsa anyway, so there is no need for her to regret.

But, in my mind, I still had strong motivation to persuade her.
