Shenzhen: Lao Maque, Hunan Cuisine. Senior Peter made a surprise trip back from Chengdu and arranged for me to meet a Taiwanese senior who’s been in Shenzhen for over six years, so I came over from Hong Kong. It turned out we were all from Taichung, which made it feel extra close. Brother Zeng now runs a private equity fund focused on primary-market investing, so we sat in their 45th-floor office at Excellence Century Center near the convention center, drinking tea and listening to Peter and his friends talk about how to put wearable medical devices into practice. We chatted until the lights came on in the building across. Afterward, I had dinner with Senior Peter at Lao Maque—the dishes were refined and delicious—and he even paid for a room at his hotel, so I didn’t have to rush back to Hong Kong tonight. — Morgan, evening of 2019.12.26
