Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 658 Do you still have an Internet company?

Facts have proved that Xiao Wise misunderstood Chen Li's meaning.

So ~ the troublesome matter of resolving this misunderstanding is all handed over to Xiao Wise.

But this is actually not a trouble for Little Wise, because this buddy directly found two cars to take the bunch of beauties away.

As for where to go. Chen Li didn't know, anyway, Little Wise also left with the girls.

In the end, only Chen Li and his party were left in the villa, but it was not as embarrassing as imagined.

The main reason is that we don’t have much time to embarrass everyone. Today is New Year’s Eve. According to the original plan, everyone will have a meal together at noon, and then go to Chinatown in the afternoon to watch the activities of the Chinese people here, and then go to Times Square in the evening Walk around there.

For today's meal, the chef is naturally Chen Li, but the second chef is not Xu Xing but Mu Xiaoqing.

Of course Xu Xing could cook, but he didn't expect Mu Xiaoqing's cooking skills to be surprisingly good.

The reason why it was called an accident was mainly because Mu Xiaoqing's work experience has always been in the financial industry. To be honest, there are not many people in this industry who can have good cooking skills.

After all, people in the financial industry are too busy on weekdays to have time to cook for themselves.

However, Mu Xiaoqing's specialty is not Chinese cuisine, but Western cuisine, so Chen Li handed over some seafood purchased here to her for handling.

Today's meal~ I bought several big Olongs alone, and Chen Li also bought a lot of king crabs. Anyway, this meal~ is not actually spent by Chen Li.

The reason is very simple~Because Chen Li and his party came to the United States~Nominally, it was for the listing of Red Pony Technology, so these expenses were actually paid by the public account.

Hmm~ At the same time, this is also a good experience for Chen Li to see the world.

Because Chen Li's property basically belonged to his private property before, even though Ideal Foods had two shareholders, Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli, their proportion was really small.

So spending those companies' money is actually no different from spending Chen Li's own money.

But this time is obviously different. If it is based on the proportion of shares. The money Chen Li spent, he actually has not much to bear.

Because the public account is used, all the expenses are paid by the Red Pony Technology Company, and as a major shareholder with 15% of the Red Horse Technology ~ really counting. In fact, he only spent 15% of the money.

Of course~ this account must not be calculated in this way, because this thing is not at all the concept of whether Chen Li spends the money, but it generally means that.

So... Chen Li finally understood something that he didn't understand in his previous life.

That is, some companies are in a state of loss every year, but the boss can still often come to the nightclub he manages to spend time and drink.

It's fine to say that these people come to the nightclub to discuss business, but they are purely here for consumption.

The cost of tens of thousands of yuan a night is not a small number accumulated in a year. At first, Chen Li thought that the company could make money.

As a result, I made a lot of money!Not only does it not make money~ people also lose a lot of money throughout the year.

Of course~ Chen Li would understand if the people who came were just the company's management, after all, they don't feel bad about spending the company's money.

But what Chen Li didn't understand was that the person who did this was the boss of this company, which made Chen Li very confused.

Now Chen Li understands~ The management doesn't feel bad for spending the company's money, and the boss doesn't feel bad for spending the investor's money either.

Of course, this is actually what he said, and the three major shareholders, Chen Li~Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi, agreed to the expense this time.

After all, a group of people from the National People's Congress have to stay in the United States for the Chinese New Year, and this expense cannot be saved due to emotion and reason.

Near noon, Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi also brought their assistants to the villa.

Different from Chen Li, who is a hands-off shopkeeper, these two are actually the busy people in the listing of Red Horse Technology.

As the CEO of Red Horse Technology, Ma Xiaoyun is naturally the busiest person, and as the person in charge of technology, Zhou Hongyi also needs to follow Ma Xiaoyun to help him deal with some professional issues.

So during this time... these two guys are very dissatisfied with Chen Li!
In fact, it was Ma Xiaoyun who suggested that Chen Li be the chef for today's meal.

This guy has been going back and forth between the United States and China during this time, so there is nothing else to say~ But for this Western food, he has had enough.

And unlike Ma Xiaoyun in his previous life who could barely eat spicy food, the current Ma Xiaoyun... can't say how much spicy food he can eat~ anyway, he has no problem with ordinary taste at all.

This is mainly thanks to Chen Li, mainly after he got to know Chen Li well. Chen Li is not willing to accommodate him when it comes to eating.

In the beginning, Chen Li would take care of Ma Xiaoyun's taste every time he ate, but now whenever Chen Li pays for it, there must be a heavy taste of Qing Yishui on the table.

Over time~ Ma Xiaoyun also began to get used to Chen Li's Sichuan style taste, although not to the extent that he likes it, but he is still used to Chen Li's taste.

That's right~ What Ma Xiaoyun is used to is not Sichuan cuisine, but Chen Li's taste.

As for Zhou Hongyi~ Needless to say, as long as the dishes are not extreme, he can basically get used to them.

The arrival of these two people made the atmosphere in the villa lively, uh~ it was mainly due to Ma Xiaoyun, after all, Zhou Hongyi was not very talkative.

Unlike the red-clothed leader who always liked to shoot cannons in his previous life, the present Zhou Hongyi was not as eloquent as he was in his previous life because he was influenced by Chen Li.

In his previous life, Zhou Hongyi was called Zhou Dapao~the leader of Hongyi, which was also gradually tempered by this buddy in the development of his career.

But now Zhou Hongyi has been behind the scenes, so this guy is relatively honest.

Of course, here are all acquaintances, so Zhou Hongyi is quite casual.But Ma Xiaoyun is different, this buddy is born to be a social gangster.

Regardless of familiar~or unfamiliar, as long as he is willing, he can chat with people.

Just like now, this guy is even exchanging security knowledge with Wang Juan, can you believe that?
Fortunately, Wang Juan, a security-type bionic person, has absolutely nothing to say in terms of professional knowledge, so Ma Xiaoyun was taken aback by what she said.

Especially after Wang Juan showed Ma Xiaoyun real kung fu, Ma Xiaoyun went straight to the kitchen to find Chen Lixiang to poach the wall.

"Get out of here~!"

"Do you know how much it cost me to find Wang Juan?"

"Get out~ I'm going to pour oil on you~ If you don't want to be choked, get out quickly."

Chen Li, who was cooking boiled beef, was a little annoyed by Ma Xiaoyun. No wonder in his previous life, this buddy paid a lot of money to hire a bunch of martial arts stars to play supporting roles for him, and made a kung fu short film.

Ma Xiaoyun is really a kung fu fan in terms of feelings.

"I don't~!"

"How much will it cost? I'll pay double~ no, triple!"

Obviously~ Ma Xiaoyun really likes kung fu, but the Ari Group founded by this guy in his previous life has a lot of martial arts elements, so it doesn't seem to be surprising.

"Hey~!"

Chen Li poured the hot oil in the pot on the boiled chopped green onion, garlic and chili, and immediately there was an extremely fragrant but choking smell in the whole kitchen.

"Cough cough~cough cough!"

"Little Chen, Old Chen~ brother!"

"How about this. I have often come to the United States during this time. Let me tell you, this United States is not safe at all."

"Don't look at the group of people in China who brag every day, but in fact the law and order here is terrible."

"So you lend Wang Juan a few days, not a month!"

"I learned a few kung fu from her, so if something happens to me in the future, I can at least protect myself."

Just now Wang Juan missed two tricks in front of Ma Xiaoyun, which obviously stimulated Ma Xiaoyun's martial arts dream.

For this reason~ he even preferred to endure the pungent smell in the kitchen and continue to pester Chen Li.

"Fuck~!"

Chen Li cursed again, he was really helpless, because Wang Juan was not an ordinary bodyguard at all, but a security bionic.

"Don't make trouble with me~ They have signed a contract over there."

"By the way~ You can contact Howard. I didn't receive a call from him just now."

Chen Li, who originally planned to call Howard back after finishing the boiled beef, quickly handed over this task to Ma Xiaoyun.

Let's play~ let's make trouble, Ma Xiaoyun still knows the priority of things.

Seeing that the company will go public tomorrow, all the troubles at this time can tug at Ma Xiaoyun's heartstrings.

"Hoo~!"

Seeing the back of Ma Xiaoyun leaving the kitchen, Chen Li shook his head, and then said to Wang Juan who was dragged to the kitchen by Ma Xiaoyun before:
"Then what. You can teach him how to do it later!"

"Hmm~!"

Wang Juan seemed to be hesitant, and her eyes were not on Chen Li at all, but on the pot of boiled beef in front of Chen Li.

Now Chen Li felt even more helpless, God knows why the system's bionics are so real?It is so real that there is such a thing as taste.

In addition, Wang Juan raised the AI ​​level again, which led to Wang Juan, who was supposed to be the unsmiling super bodyguard, now turned into a big foodie.

"Hey~ Help me taste the saltiness." Chen Li reluctantly took a pair of chopsticks and handed them over.

"Yeah!"

Wang Juan took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth, then gave Chen Li a thumbs up.

“The beef is so tender ~ delicious!”

"The thing that teaches him two hands."

"Don't worry~ wrap it on me!"

Wang Juan picked up another chopstick very quickly, and then put the chopsticks down. Although the food was delicious, Chen Li said that it was just to taste the saltiness, and she was still very measured.

Following the satisfied Wang Juan went out to be Ma Xiaoyun's chef, Chen Li hurriedly prepared the next dish.

But just as he was heating up the pot to pour oil, Ma Xiaoyun ran in.

"Xiao Chen~ so what. Howard wants to come and have dinner with us."

"Huh? No~ we're celebrating Chinese New Year, what is he doing here as a foreigner?"

"Who knows!"

Ma Xiaoyun also didn't understand what kind of medicine Howard was going to sell in the gourd. After all, today's dinner was the Spring Festival for Chen Li and other Chinese people. It was also for this reason that Chen Li didn't invite him from the beginning.

Of course~ It's not that Howard can't come to participate, but when Chen Li asked him to borrow the villa before, this guy didn't say he wanted to come for dinner, but now he suddenly said that he would come, which naturally made Chen Li feel a little strange.

But~ no matter what, although Chen Li is not willing to let a foreigner get involved in his family's Chinese New Year dinner, but they have said that they want to come to Chen Li, and there is no way to refuse.

After all~ Red Pony Technology was able to go public smoothly, and Howard Wise played a really big role.

You know, this will be 2001, and the impact of the Internet bubble crisis is still there!

Howard Wise played a decisive role in setting Red Pony Technology's stock price at a good price this time.

If he hadn't endorsed Red Pony Technology, it is estimated that those investors would not be so easy to believe in the prospects of Red Horse Technology.

So~ out of emotion and reason, Chen Li really had to keep this one in his pocket.

"Okay~ When will he arrive?"

"Already on the way, it is said that it should be there in a few minutes."

"I'm going~ so fast, it can't be that something happened to the listing, right?"

"Hiss~ can't you?"

This period of time~ Howard's somewhat reckless and sudden behavior made Chen Li and Ma Xiaoyun feel a little nervous.

Of course~ In fact, Chen Li and Ma Xiaoyun knew very well that according to common sense, the matter of going public tomorrow has actually been decided, and it is basically impossible to make any changes at this time.

But how to say, as long as Ma Xiaoyun doesn't press that button, and the stock of Red Pony Technology doesn't officially start trading, then it's really hard to say.

"Then what~ Sister Mu, can you make spicy crab?"

"Okay~ Then make fried crab in the typhoon shelter, I'll leave it to you!"

Chen Li took off the apron. If he could still stay in the kitchen and continue cooking at this time, then his concentration would be regarded as having reached home.

However, it turned out that Chen Li still couldn't do this, so he handed over the kitchen work to Xu Xing and Mu Xiaoqing, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

While tidying up, he chatted with Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi who were following him about the purpose of Howard's visit.

"Hasn't anything happened in the past two days?"

In fact, Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi have been busy with the matter of listing. In fact, Ma Xiaoyun is mainly handling it, and Zhou Hongyi can only be regarded as a helper.

"No~ Everything in the company is normal!"

"And my communication with those investors is relatively smooth. At least I can't see anything unusual."

Ma Xiaoyun tilted his head and thought for a moment, then directly gave an affirmative answer.

"Then what is this old boy doing here at this time?"

"Hiss~ No, if it's about going public, then he should have called you, Brother Ma just now."

"But in fact, he just called me."

Very soon~ Chen Li discovered some of the things that were wrong, but Chen Li couldn't guess what Howard wanted to do with such unreasonable things.

And just after Chen Li tidied up and chatted with Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi, the sound of a car stopping at the entrance of the villa was heard.

"Come on~ let's go, I want to see what's going on with this old boy."

Now that everyone has already arrived, there is no need to continue guessing. Chen Li directly greeted Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi out of the gate of the villa, just in time to see Howard Wise getting off his Lexus.

From the looks of it, this guy really did come to eat, because his work assistant even had two bottles of wine.

"Chen~ I'm sorry to interrupt your dinner."

"However~ I do have some things that need your confirmation."

There is one thing to say, Howard Wise's character is really kind of like that.

As soon as this buddy met, he immediately expressed his intention to come to Chen Li, but this is also good~ because in this way, Ma Xiaoyun and Zhou Hongyi can directly put their hearts in their stomachs.

Because obviously. Howard Wise really came to find Chen Li.

"Uh~ welcome!"

"Is there anything I need to confirm~ please come in, uh~ well, this is actually your property, it's a bit strange for me to say this."

"Haha~ It's nothing, as long as you stay here happily and happily, huh? Where's Little Wise? Didn't he come to help you with the dinner party?"

"Eh, let's get down to business!"

Chen Li didn't know how to tell Howard Wise about what happened before, so he simply changed the subject.

"Yeah, that's fine too!"

"That's it. Before attending the dinner, I want to confirm a piece of news from you."

"Chen~ Do you have an Internet company under your name called..."

"Shengtong Network?"
