American billionaire says surprising thing while enjoying famous egg coffee in Hanoi

(Dan Tri) - Under the guidance of the staff, American billionaire Jensen Huang made egg coffee and served it to the guests. He suddenly joked, "Do I have the qualifications to be an employee of the shop?"

In October, Mr. T., the owner of a famous egg coffee shop in Hanoi, received a surprise call. The person on the other end of the line was a member of the delegation welcoming billionaire Jensen Huang, who was scheduled to visit Vietnam in early December. On this trip, the American billionaire wanted to enjoy egg coffee. Although he had welcomed many famous world figures to experience egg coffee, this call still made Mr. T. feel nervous and proud.

Previously, in December 2023, during his visit to Vietnam, this billionaire chose his shop as a stop to enjoy a Hanoi food tour (a culinary discovery journey). Perhaps the taste of the drink made him want to enjoy it again. "One of the requirements of the delegation is that we must keep this information absolutely confidential. Mr. Jensen Huang did not come to the coffee shop to drink coffee, but the event will be held at another location when he comes to Vietnam," the shop owner shared. In addition, the representative of the delegation also emphasized that they wanted to show the drawings on the cups of egg coffee: Lotus - Vietnam's national flower, Bai Tho mountain, Turtle tower, Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Long Bien bridge. These are all drawings that are typical of culture and scenic spots in Vietnam. To prepare for better service, the owner of the coffee shop in Hanoi ordered an automatic drawing machine for about 40 million VND from abroad. The machine works with AI (artificial intelligence) technology, drawing shapes on the surface of each cup of coffee.

Before the important event, Mr. T. selected the most skilled bartenders in the shop. They practiced for a week to master all operations and skills. These employees all have good English communication skills and can interact with customers without the need for an interpreter. At noon on December 5, Mr. T. and his employees moved all the equipment including cups, ingredients, and coffee machines to the selected location. This is also where billionaire Jensen Huang met with about 100 experts in the field of AI of a Vietnamese enterprise . Under the guidance of the staff, American billionaire Jensen Huang made egg coffee and served it to the guests. He suddenly joked, "Do I have the qualifications to be an employee of the shop?" Also during the conversation, the billionaire laughed happily when he recognized Mr. T's wife. He jokingly said that, in last year's meeting, he saw her working at the cashier, but this year she appeared in a different role. Mr. Jensen Huang also personally offered each cup of egg coffee to the guests at the meeting. Although he is one of the billionaires with the largest assets in the world, Mr. T. found him to be a friendly and gentle person. The atmosphere of the meeting was cheerful and lasted more than an hour.

"When chatting, Mr. Huang said he knew that our egg coffee shop is one of the typical shops in Hanoi, so he wanted to come and enjoy it when he comes to Vietnam. He shared that he will continue to drink this drink when he has the chance," the shop owner happily said. It is known that after this meeting, on the evening of December 5, billionaire Jensen Huang and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh walked around Hanoi's Old Quarter and enjoyed beer on Ta Hien Street.
