My Lord, you need to stand up!
Chapter 985 What's so strange about that?
Chapter 985 What's so strange about that?
It was also intentional on Wei Dong's part to return to North America with Chrysler executives.
He even took them to meet and visit Steve.
This is still the same old trick of mutual endorsement.
Hong Kong businessmen felt confident in supporting and participating in his projects because they believed that Bo Zai Dong could connect with senior executives of large corporations like Chrysler and deal with various parties in mainland China.
The former president, who seemed very interested in emerging IT industries, allowed Wei Dong's value at Apple to help him gain more influence in the automotive industry.
Qin Yuye must have contacted Steve beforehand to inquire about his whereabouts.
During this period in Los Angeles, Steve's assistant also said, "Pitt, you need to come quickly, we can't do anything about it."
Even Steve's assistants couldn't understand the specifics of the business!
So when they arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, the Chrysler branch's convoy immediately came to pick up the boss, while Kungfu Software Company was far behind, not even having a secretary to receive him.
The chairman even seriously asked the investors if they should notify the Detroit automotive consulting firm to come to the meeting, and the boss immediately grabbed the chairman and spanked him.
Zou Huimin stayed in Hong Kong to promote film and television productions in the north, so she was alone with her boss's secretary and had no idea what to do.
It feels like the boss has gradually changed since he went to Hong Kong and then abroad.
Then we should hurry up and make arrangements for the president of Sun Yat-sen University, the CEOs of technology companies, and the heads of insurance companies.
However, the president requested in advance that what is said to be the only Chrysler Lamborghini sports car handcrafted from the R&D center be transferred to the Eastern partner.
Wei Dong was given some training and guidance by engineers in the spacious airport parking area before he joined the convoy to "visit" Steve.
Keep in mind that Chrysler's market value has plummeted from its peak in 1986 to just over five billion US dollars today, compared to six billion US dollars last year.
Faced with the relentless pressure from Japanese automakers, Citigroup's automotive manufacturing industry has actually been on the verge of defeat.
However, most people still don't see that this is a road of no return, thinking it's just a phase of technical adjustments, and they believe that under the leadership of a god-like president, they can reach the peak again.
Correspondingly, Apple's market value climbed to $60 billion.
It ranks sixth in the Citigroup stock market capitalization rankings.
The other companies ranked first through eighth are all Japanese companies!
Of the seven companies, six are banks and insurance companies, with only the top-ranked company being E-Telecom, with a market capitalization of $3490 billion!
Ninth is ExxonMobil, the world's largest oil company, with $520 billion;
General Electric came in tenth, with $490 billion.
IBM, once the king of IT, has been kicked out of the top ten.
This list alone reveals just how much of a bubble there is in the financial market.
They are desperately trying to lure people into their scheme, and then using Japanese financial institutions to fleece them.
Citibank demonstrated back in the 1980s how tough it is to run a physical business.
But this one-of-a-kind Krono still caused a sensation when it came out of Los Angeles Airport.
Rang Weidong, who has never driven a supercar before, had only ever seen them in short videos in his past life.
It's impossible for him to do something so foolish in China now. Even in Hong Kong, he's not very interested in driving sports cars. With narrow and congested roads, driving any flashy car is boring.
But at Citibank, just like how he couldn't resist giving in to Qin Yuye last time, he's now driving the luxury car with a bit of fondness: "Damn, they really do have some heritage, to be precise, Lamborghini has heritage. This car is indeed the root of their catfish style."
The front is very slanted and short, so the whole car looks like a professional race car with a triangular front end, which is very sharp, flat and round.
The cabin is as elegant and sophisticated as a yacht's cockpit, and the manual transmission makes driving it quite a thrill.
Originally, it was a four-door, four-seat building, with the front and rear doors being scissor doors that flip up relative to each other, and it was very avant-garde with no B-pillar.
His wife used her eyes to refuse anyone else from getting into the car, mainly telling his secretary and Xiong Guoming not to interrupt.
Now, she gracefully leans against the passenger seat: "Was an electric car really that important back then..."
While shifting gears, Wei Dong quietly reached out and poked his wife's leg: "Sounds impressive, but who knows? Let's wait and see."
But he subtly shook his index finger around, indicating that the matter should not be mentioned.
The overly "modern" interior design must have made Wei Dong wary of the fact that later new energy vehicles were basically equipped with recording devices inside.
Qin Yuye immediately understood and changed the subject: "I said we still need to see what Steve is up to. Is he going to stay at Citibank for a longer period of time this time?"
Wei Dong shook his head: "It's mainly to deal with Lao Lin's matter. The car business is basically finished. You can do whatever you want if you want. I'm going to check on the basketball team and then go back..."
Actually, nothing particularly important happened during this period in Hong Kong.
I'm just in a panic and don't want to stay here.
His wife cleverly changed the subject, teasingly saying, "Oh dear, is it your third sister urging you to go back? I think she's really reluctant to leave this time, but she's still being sensible by keeping an eye on things in Hong Kong."
Wei Dong couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You should learn from her. I told you last time, if you want to feel valued and not panic, you should build up your clothing and cosmetics business. Look at how little progress these two sectors have made overseas."
Qin Yuye chuckled, "Working as a translator with you and sparring with big shots brings back that feeling of working together as a couple. Witnessing your great achievements firsthand, I have no interest in getting involved in those petty business schemes. I admire Sister Xueqing in this regard. She always manages the home front well, which is why we can go out and make waves. I will never have any conflicts with either of them in this lifetime."
Wei Dong couldn't help but glance at her, thinking his wife looked especially beautiful and virtuous today. He reached out and placed his hand on her lap, not moving it away, feeling that it wouldn't matter if they continued like this.
Qin Yuye seemed to sense the growing affection and seized the opportunity to make a request: "Promise me, you're never allowed to learn a foreign language in your life!"
Wei Dong wondered what kind of promise this was, and casually agreed.
As it turned out, the car didn't have an armrest, and the front middle section was very flat. My wife's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she reached up to tie her long hair and leaned over to reward me. Oh my, who could resist that?
Fortunately, the tinted glass has a modern curved shape, making it difficult to see from the outside.
Moreover, since they were crossing the highway from the international airport to the agreed location, Wei Dong shifted into fifth gear and sped off for a bit.
This caused the Chrysler Fifth Avenue cars, the two top-of-the-line Imperial sedans, and several MVPs to hurriedly accelerate as well.
The last place we arrived at was Hollywood.
It's not far from my own Beverly Hills neighborhood.
As soon as she got off the highway, Qin Yuye finished her work and stood up with a seductive look in her eyes, saying, "Our company is also nearby."
That's right, the convoy was parked in a block of West Hollywood, next to a five- or six-story white building.
It has a beautiful design. From the outside, it looks like a basketball arena. The building has a wavy shape and no windows are visible, but the first floor is made of transparent glass.
Organizations with English signs are more like studios or firms.
His wife admired him as he came down wearing sunglasses: "Our office building could be transformed like this too."
Originally, after walking through the lobby, you could see the entire building, which was about fifty meters square and shaped like the Chinese character "回" (hui). The central courtyard had an open garden with a swimming pool.
Then inside, you can see that several floors are all glass partitions.
The colorful and free-spirited atmosphere already hinted at the image of what would later become known as an "Internet company".
Upon receiving the notification, Steve's assistant came downstairs to greet him, looking somewhat relieved: "Since inspecting the digital engineering here, Steve hasn't gone back to Silicon Valley. He's helped us change office space, upgrade equipment... and has already spent about twenty million dollars here!"
Standing on the first floor, you can see that all the open spaces are filled with artworks like galleries, as well as some colorful and strangely shaped chairs and the like.
But when you go upstairs, you see all kinds of equipment, server rooms, rows of computers, busy people, and tents and sleeping bags in the corners.
The Chrysler executives were all dressed in suits and ties, looking like business elites. The president, who was over sixty, still had his hair slicked back and a folded handkerchief in his suit pocket.
But upstairs, all the people are wearing T-shirts and plaid shirts with messy hair.
When the assistant brought Steve to the scene, he also had a full beard and long hair, wearing a wrinkled black long-sleeved turtleneck T-shirt, and his eyes were shining as he peered behind a bunch of monitors.
Only after being cautiously reminded by his assistant did he look up blankly and focus his gaze on Rang Weidong with difficulty, then slowly forced a smile and made a funny face: "Pete, we will change the world..."
Wei Dong felt that showing off was also a talent.
Steve completely outclassed him on this track, and with just that one sentence, he stunned the top executives of the automotive group.
Qin Yuye clearly enjoyed the feeling of working together as a couple, and proudly translated.
This amazed Xiong Guoming and his team.
Only when Wei Dong genuinely felt that something could be changed, did he realize the need for such an exaggerated gesture. He peeked at the screen with his hands in his pockets, but couldn't understand any of the messy grid-like images.
Steve seemed to slowly return to reality, and with a much smoother expression, he pulled Wei Dong to give instructions to the others.
Then everyone saw that a 19-inch Sony monitor in front of them was playing "Ghost," a movie in which Leung Ka-fai starred last year!
Wei Dong thought the movie had already been released, but is it still in post-production?
As Leung Ka-fai, who appeared to be a normal person on screen, spoke, the dynamic image slowly became transparent, then turned into only a faint blue light, and finally vanished into smoke!
The expression on the "ghost's" face changed from affectionate to reluctant, and finally it forced a painful smile until it became completely transparent.
It actually looks a bit like the smile Steve forced out earlier.
This immediately terrified the group of white executives!
what is this? !!
Eastern witchcraft?!
Even the CEO, who always acted like a capitalist, turned pale.
The physicists craning their necks, the switchboard owners, and the insurance industry upstarts were no better off; they were all terrified.
Yu Xiaoqiu, having studied stage design, knew the synopsis and filming details of the play.
He secretly reached out and grabbed the proprietress's arm to look at it together, which startled Qin Yuye, who was engrossed in watching, causing him to scream and even knock off his sunglasses.
In turn, this frightened the secretary so much that they hugged each other and cried out.
Only Wei Dong, oblivious to romance, slowly frowned and said, "What's so strange about that..."
It almost made the whole building furious.
