The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 468 Pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey

Zhang Dongshuo nodded after hearing Li Weidong's order, and walked out of the office.

However, instead of going to the lounge next door specially prepared for the guests waiting to meet, to invite the senior executives of Yahoo, they first knocked on the open door of the opposite office.

This office was originally used by Jiang Zhili's assistant, Qin Shijun. Now Li Weidong occupies Jiang Zhili's office, and Zhang Dongshuo naturally occupies Qin Shijun's office.

And Ding Yuan and Zhou Ping, Li Weidong's personal bodyguards, rest here and stand by when Li Weidong has nothing to do.

But at this time there is still one person in the office, this person is Lao Huang, Huang Zhenyu, the security captain of the U.S. branch of Anji Capital.

Huang Zhenyu is a fellow from the same county as Ding Yuan, and also a comrade in arms who sleeps in bunk beds in the army, and they are all soldiers led by Xie Ming. Meeting fellow villagers in such an army is considered fate, and the relationship is naturally very good.

However, Lao Huang stayed well in the army, but when his only sister was working in a coastal city, by chance, she followed others to San Francisco to make a living.

Lao Huang was in the army, and somehow he had this relationship with San Francisco. Due to the special nature of the army, his career as a soldier ended early. Although he was depressed, there was nothing he could do about it.

After returning to his hometown for two years, he couldn't even get a wife. Later, he was invited by his sister to come to San Francisco to make a living.

Before leaving, Lao Huang thought that he might never have the chance to return to China in this life. After all, he could not earn the round-trip ticket money in his hometown for three years.

So before going abroad, I said goodbye to a few close friends, thousands of miles away, on the other side of the ocean, this farewell is likely to be a farewell to life and death.

At that time, Ding Yuan had just been married, and the eldest in the family had just been born, so he was poor, but he still bit the bullet and sponsored his brother's travel expenses of tens of dollars.

No one expected that a few years later, Lao Huang wrote an ocean-going letter to Ding Yuan, inviting him to come to San Francisco together, and promised that he would pay for the air ticket.

It’s just that at that time, Ding Yuan was following Li Weidong to buy a car factory and a boat abroad, and his life was so comfortable that day, it was impossible to go to San Francisco to seek a living.

Who would have thought that in less than two years, Li Weidong opened a venture capital company in the United States, and the address happened to be in San Francisco, and he needed to employ people, so this got involved again.

When Lao Huang heard that he was offered such a high salary, he was still working in his old profession, and he could work with his old comrades, so there must be 1 people willing.

Although Li Weidong didn't know Lao Huang, Xie Ming and Ding Yuan had personally visited San Francisco and agreed that although Lao Huang had a big belly, he still hadn't lost his basic skills.

With the approval of the two of them, Li Weidong is naturally fine, and setting up this position is only a deterrent, and no one wants it to really work.

At this time, Ding Yuan and Lao Huang were reminiscing about the old days, and Zhou Ping followed suit. According to the inheritance, this is his senior, the old squad leader. Of course, it is hard to say in terms of strength.

Seeing Zhang Dongshuo standing at the door and nodding to them, the three stopped chatting.

Come to live!
Ding Yuan glanced at Lao Huang and Zhou Ping, and they followed Zhang Dongshuo to the lounge diagonally opposite.

Ding Yuan took advantage of this time to enter Jiang Zhili's office. Li Weidong met outsiders, and Ding Yuan wanted to protect him personally.

Zhang Dongshuo was in front, Huang Zhenyu and Zhou Ping followed, and the three came to the door of the lounge next door.

At this time, Yahoo's top management, including the two founders "Chiefs", were greeting Jiang Zhili, and several people who seemed to be assistants and bodyguards were waiting beside them.

Seeing Zhang Dongshuo come in, several people stood up, Yang Zhiyuan smiled and asked in English: "Secretary Zhang, is Mr. Li free now?"

Zhang Dongshuo smiled at them, and then said calmly: "The chairman will have time now, but there are other arrangements for a while, please come with me!"

This is the basic quality of being a secretary. The person the boss likes can be flattered. This will make the other party feel respected and act as a lubricant.

People that the boss hates should not be too domineering. If a secretary behaves too much, it will make people think that the leadership level is not good enough, and the leader will lose face.

But even so, Zhang Dongshuo still lost no time in revealing the fact that Li Weidong was very busy, and quietly expressed his dissatisfaction with their lateness.

I'm 10 minutes late, if it's a gathering of friends, it doesn't matter, but now you asked to visit, everyone is a face-saving person, why make others wait for 10 minutes.

"Oh, I'm sorry, when we came, the company was delayed by something. I will apologize to Mr. Li in person later!" Yang Zhiyuan said with a smile.

After saying this, I still didn't forget to take a look at David who was standing next to him and didn't care, another founder "Chief", and Yahoo CEO Tim who had been in office for five years.

Seeing Yang Zhiyuan's gaze, Tim shrugged and spread his hands, a very American gesture, expressing his helplessness and innocence.

Zhang Dongshuo just smiled and didn't take up the topic. This is Li Weidong's play, so he can't take it up.

As for the nonsense that the company has something to do temporarily, Zhang Dongshuo didn't believe it at all, and was even angrier in his heart. The meaning of saying this was that he didn't even bother to make up a decent reason.

What is the matter that can be dealt with in a few minutes?

If it can be dealt with, at least it means that it is not an important matter, and there is no reason to be temporarily busy.

Therefore, it is not a convincing reason at all to have something temporary. Anyway, no one else can verify it. The essence is to play hooligans.

Even if something really happened, do you have to call in advance to talk about it? This is the most basic politeness issue. Zhang Dongshuo doesn't believe it. This is the standard of a big company.

There are no more than two reasons. One is that there is a real emergency, but it is not an important matter. It is precisely through this excuse that I want to show a certain attitude of myself.

The other kind is nothing at all, it's just intentional, and I want to let it air and express some kind of dissatisfaction!

No matter what the situation is, it is disrespect to Li Weidong, and his boss is not respected. Zhang Dongshuo is angry, of course!

Zhang Dongshuo didn't speak, but stretched out his hand and gestured for them to follow him.

Jiang Zhili hesitated behind, whether he should follow in or not.

After Li Weidong came, Jiang Zhili's office was changed to the lounge here. Now that the boss is meeting with others, he didn't say whether he should accompany him or not?

Jiang Zhili hesitated a bit, and after thinking about it, he decided to go, after all, he was familiar with the situation here.

The assistants and bodyguards brought by Yang Zhiyuan and David wanted to go out to follow, but they were stopped by Zhou Ping and Lao Huang, telling them to stay here and wait.

The three black bodyguards were tall and big, and they didn't like the two Asians at all, and they wanted to push Zhou Ping away with their hands.

Zhou Ping was chosen to follow him to the United States, so he was naturally not a vegetarian, at least his combat effectiveness must be good.

Knowing that this kind of person is very powerful, he didn't resist him, turned sideways, and cut the person's armpit three inches below the armpit, where the ribs were.

Even a black man who is as strong as a tank doesn't have many muscles to protect this place, and the palm directly touches the bones. The black bodyguard staggered in pain, took half a step back, and let out a muffled grunt.

Yang Zhiyuan heard the movement in front, and seeing Zhou Ping and Huang Zhenyu guarding the door, he understood what was going on in his heart, so he said, "You guys wait here first!"

If both sides are accompanied by bodyguards, the bosses of the two parties sit face to face, and there is a row of bodyguards standing behind them. What is the difference between this and a gang negotiation.

With Yang Zhiyuan's order, even if the bodyguards were not angry, they could only return to the lounge, but they looked at Zhou Ping differently, full of provocation.

When Zhang Dongshuo led several people into the office, Li Weidong had already heard the movement and stood up.

After seeing a few people, he stepped forward, reached out to shake hands with them, and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome!"

When Yang Zhiyuan saw Li Weidong, he took a few steps to greet him, held Li Weidong's hand, and said with a little embarrassment: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I'm late because of something urgent!"

Li Weidong waved his hand and said with a cheerful smile, "You're welcome, I'm just alone, I don't have any concept of time, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later!"

Zhang Dongshuo listened to him and almost laughed out loud, admiring in his heart that the boss is the boss, he speaks differently, and he doesn't use dirty words when swearing.

It depends on how you understand it. Whoever is idle, who has no concept of time, anyway, whoever is late will be embarrassed.

This time, Yang Zhiyuan was not a little embarrassed, but really a little embarrassed. It was really something about the company that he was late, but it was really not a very urgent matter.

Before the CEO Tim came, he discussed a problem with his colleagues, and it took some time. Yang Zhiyuan didn't urge him, so he naturally wanted to express his attitude.

The two of them spoke Chinese, and David and Tim didn't understand it, but looking at Yang Zhiyuan's face, he knew that something seemed wrong.

So David stepped forward to make a rescue, shook hands with Li Weidong, and said, "Hi, I'm David. I've been hearing Yang talking about you. I'm glad to see you!"

David spoke English, and Li Weidong could understand most of it, but after listening to Zhang Dongshuo's translation, he simply replied two words: "Hello!"

Li Weidong naturally speaks Mandarin, and Lao Tzu represents China when he comes out. Not only is he wearing a Tang suit, but he can only speak Chinese.

At this time, Yang Zhiyuan also came to his senses, and introduced Tim, the CEO next to him, and Li Weidong also greeted him with two words.

"Sit, sit, sit, you're welcome!" After shaking hands with the three of them, Li Weidong pointed to the tea table next to him.

Then he turned his head and said to Zhang Dongshuo: "I changed the tea, it was brewed too early, it's cold now, drink it while it's hot!"

After hearing what Li Weidong said, Zhang Dongshuo didn't know whether he should translate the sentence, but seeing that Yang Zhiyuan understood, he didn't dare to continue to be this villain.

But Zhang Dongshuo thought in his heart, the boss is usually a very kind person, what happened today, he was very angry, should he arrange it at night and relax his whole body, otherwise it would be bad for him, a fish in the pond.

"Mr. Li, long time no see. I wanted to find time to go back to the mainland to visit you and listen to your teachings. I didn't expect you to come to San Francisco!"

After sitting down, Yang Zhiyuan said humbly, as if he wanted to make up for his lateness.

"What can I teach you? Don't put a high hat on me. Your ability is obvious to all, otherwise Yahoo wouldn't be where it is today!" Li Weidong also complimented.

However, Li Weidong himself didn't believe this, but he couldn't tell the truth, "Brother, listen to my brother's persuasion, and quickly sell Yahoo's stock!"

Both of them spoke Chinese, and there was no one to translate, but David and Tim next to them were suffocated.

"Mr. Li, I'm overwhelmed. Your support is the key, so we came to visit today, mainly to explain to you what happened to the board of directors last time!" Yang Zhiyuan thought about it, but still got to the point.

But before he could explain, Li Weidong waved his hand and said, "You don't need to explain anything to me. You didn't need it when it was Yahoo's shareholder, let alone now!"

After listening to Li Weidong's words, Yang Zhiyuan felt a little embarrassed. Looking back on these years, it seems that Li Weidong really has nothing to say about his support for their founder.

Almost everything will be voted for, even if it is opposed, it is just a tactful abstention.

The three directors, Jiang Zhili, even won the title of directors who raised their hands in the board of directors, and they raised their hands for everything.

Without the support of Li Weidong, it is estimated that it would be difficult for him to secure the position of chairman and be able to smoothly control the direction of Yahoo according to his ideas.

Yang Zhiyuan didn't speak, and the other two didn't know what kind of trick they were singing. David looked at Yang Zhiyuan for the purpose of asking him to translate.

Yang Zhiyuan murmured a few words and translated Li Weidong's words to the other two colleagues.

After listening to Tim, he suddenly felt that the results of his labor were not valued. This was an opportunity he thought might take Yahoo to another level, and he had to explain it.

So regardless of business etiquette, he immediately stood up and explained: "Mr. Li, first of all, Broadcast is the first and currently the only website that can play music and videos online!"

"Coincidentally, after careful analysis by the company, it is agreed that playing music and video on the Internet will be a mainstream direction in the future, and there will be a huge market!"

"If you master this key technology and can quickly seize the market, it will be an important supplement and improvement for the current Yahoo, but starting from scratch will take a long time, and it does not conform to the basic logic of corporate expansion!"

"Broadcast and the technology it possesses are exactly in line with our strategy, and this is a potential and powerful competitor of ours. The acquisition is the best way to solve the competitor!"

"Although he is not yet mature technically, we have reason to believe that with Yahoo's technological research and development capabilities, he will be able to make a key breakthrough in a short period of time and let Yahoo take off again!!"

"If we give up the acquisition, it is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. By the time we re-develop it, we may have lost this market. It is simply too stupid, and it is also Yahoo's sinner!"

Li Weidong basically couldn't understand the old man's impassioned expression. Fortunately, Jiang Zhili and Zhang Dongshuo who were next to him complemented each other and were able to translate what he meant.

It's just that when translating the last sentence, both Jiang Zhili and Zhang Dongshuo paused, mainly because it was difficult to translate. Isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey?

The abstaining vote of Wumai Capital means that it does not approve of the acquisition, and now it is fine, and it is a sinner to be pointed at the nose and scolded for being stupid!
The key point is that Yang Zhiyuan and David next to him didn't respond at all, and seemed to acquiesce to the CEO's accusation.

"Completed the translation? Is there a sentence at the end that has not been translated? I seem to hear a stupid, is this the pronunciation?" Li Weidong looked at Zhang Dongshuo and questioned.
