so you expect us to to watch the sunset in your way of expectation,

but you never try to understand

the meaning of us chasing after sunrise.

Really?

I think you have too much unrealistic imagination

on sunrise.

Just like your briefing this morning

which was too idealistic.

If I don’t have ideas

then how can I start up the business?

If you were willing to give me more time

so that I could explain our values to you,

then maybe you wouldn’t have said those words you just said.

How come you speak with

such confidence at the bar?

This morning I had something to ask your favor

so I was supposed to swallow my pride.

Now ?

we are just customers running to each other at the bar.

After tonight,

you will fly to Singapore

while I continue with my work,

so I should be able to speak up.

Wow,

You seem to be quite

discontent with me.

I am discontent alright.

If only you were not here this morning,

The proposals of our company would have been approved already.

You are right.

It seemed that except for me,

nearly all VCs were quite satisfied with the business model

you proposed at the time.

Yes.

So I really don’t understand,

which part were your unsatisfied with?

Didn’t I tell you earlier?

You are too idealistic.

Otherwise why were they convinced by me at the end

instead of by you?

Wrong.

the problem with the whole thing is not because I am too idealistic

but that you are too realistic.

You just convinced those people with

your old rules of thumb.

So you mean,

I am just more talkative.

Put it this way.

Compared with listening and accepting,

you are good at talking and convincing,

just like the major problem today.

Everyone just wants to say things he or she wants to,

but nobody is listening seriously.

OK

I still have 15 minutes left.

Deducting

the 10 minutes by which I could still enjoy this wine,

and in other words,

you still have 5 minutes.

You can try to convince me

and if you can overthrow my views on you in these 5 minutes,

then I will give you

your funding.

Alright.

His name is Ray

and he is my first customer today.

He orders wine without the wine list

and he does not specify cocktail for drinking.

He only tells me his mood then,

and I will make the rest of the choices.

Finally I mixed this Rum based special,

Intended to make him relax,

but I did not know he would passed out with one glass.

Later I found out that

He did not have anything before coming to bar that day.

He has had busy days

and even forgot his meals.

I am Mr. Bartender.

Welcome to my bar.

Buddy

Are you sure you don’t need to get prepare?

I suppose this opportunity is very important for you.

It is actually.

But,

he only gives me 10 minutes of time,

so what can I prepare?

But you still shouldn’t be throwing darts with me here.

Hey, by the way

What do you think of Jeff?

He must a bossy person, right?

Bossy

Yes

I think he is a person

of logic

has his own way of doing things.

Oh yeah,

how come I couldn’t tell?

Hey, Don’t look back.

Why?

He is now looking at us?

Now?

Yes

Isn’t he drinking?

Our second round already began

when I started talking to him.

What do you mean?

Did you find out

that I was already awake

when you two were talking?

But they why did you?

Wait a minute.

So you mean,

the coming 5 minutes was no coincidence

but the second pitch

you deliberately created with him?

Yes

You work hard.

You work while drinking at a bar?

Is it really worth it?

Yes

because this is the life I chose.

Don’t you worry that you might regret it later?

Look at you.

You have spent all your time on work.

but no matter how successful you become,

you will just be the next Jeff,

drinking and sitting alone in the bar.

What about you?

Me?

Do you regret?

Regret about what?

You see.

You graduated with a degree from National Chengchi University

but you do not have a steady job

or a boyfriend,

and you being complained by your family.

Don’t you regret the choice you are making now?

I am not sure.

What I am sure is that I do not regret now,

even though I have given up a lot.

But I do know what I own now

is really what I want.

So we think along the same line.

What do you mean？

Well,

You know John Lennon’s mother

once told him a story

when he was 5 years old.

The most important key to life is happiness.

One day in school his teacher asked a question:

What do you want to be when you grow up?

He told the teacher,

Happy.

The teacher asked him in doubts:

Did you not understand my question?

Guess how he answered?

I don’t know.

He told the teacher:

You don’t understand your life.

Wow, sounds like he’s on my side.

So,

do you think

John Lennon has left his music?

No.

Well.

I treat the company just like John Lennon treated his music.

Just like you

treating your favorite traveling.

We didn’t make different choices

but only you make a more romantic choice

while I made a more realistic choice.

You really know how to control time.

I just finished my wine

and you are sitting down already.

After all, your time is valuable.

Aren’t you worried that you might make more mistakes?

If I am,

I wouldn’t be sitting early.
