Reborn 92's Business Tycoon - Chapter 584: Into my bowl
Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Into my bowl
‘Let’s go for a walk,’ said Ma Ling, lying in bed in his pajamas, to Feng Yiping, who had just come out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist.
Feng Yiping looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 3:00 a.m.
Ma Ling took off his towel and helped him wipe the water stains off his back. ‘Just walk around the hotel, it’s safe,’
‘Okay then,’ he says, “I slept a lot yesterday anyway.’
Ma Ling remains quiet throughout the walk, but their destination is clear. He leads Feng Yiping straight to the lawn in the hotel garden, where they sit down next to a tree.
Sitting here at this time of day is really quite unusual.
‘What’s wrong with you?” Feng Yiping asks.
Ma Ling straightens Feng Yiping’s leg, then rests his head comfortably on it and lies there with his arms folded. ‘That’s really comfortable,’
This is a bit weird! Isn’t it more comfortable to just lie down on a hotel bed? Feng Yiping felt that he still couldn’t keep up with the pace of this Hollywood star, who was later hailed as a talented woman.
‘You know, if the weather was nice yesterday, I wanted to take you to a park, find a lawn, just lie on your lap, soak up the sun, read a book, and take a nap when you get tired,’ Ma Ling said with her eyes closed.
The street lamps shone through the sparse branches and flickered on her face. Feng Yiping could see that her long eyelashes were trembling.
‘It’s not like there’s no chance,’ Feng Yiping touched her face, ‘I should still come to the United States. Besides, if you want, you can go to China during spring break. There are quite a few cultural landscapes left from thousands of years ago, and there are also many breathtaking natural landscapes,’
Ma Ling didn’t say anything, and turned her face to the hand that Feng Yiping was holding. Her breath moistened Feng Yiping’s palm.
…
On the 9th, after an absurd start, this major drama of the current US election continued to unfold brilliantly. Al Gore formally requested a hand recount in the four counties of Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Volusia.
This scene is even more exciting than the later hit ‘House of Cards’, but the real drama will not come to an end until the middle of next month.
In the meantime, those who are interested in political dramas can completely put aside the TV and concentrate on enjoying this season’s unprecedented, bizarre, thrilling, and climactic TV series.
‘There’s a box in the closet. You can open it after I leave,’ Ma Ling said, putting his arm around Feng Yiping’s waist in the elevator.
‘And there’s a gift. Be honest, when did you prepare it?’
‘Haha, I’m not telling,’
As soon as they got out of the elevator, the lobby manager came over with a smile, ‘Mr. Feng, the car is ready,’
‘Okay, thanks,’ Feng Yiping held back Ma Ling, who was walking towards the door, ‘Wait,’ He smiled and took a big, wrapped box from the hotel reception and handed it to the equally surprised Ma Ling, ‘Watch it in the car,’
‘Ah, when did you prepare it?’
‘Oh, I’m not going to tell you,’
Feng Yiping was quite bad at saying goodbyes, and so was Ma Ling. After putting away her luggage, she hurriedly and very hastily gave Feng Yiping a hug, then hurriedly got into the car. She didn’t even wave from the window as usual, and she didn’t even look back at Feng Yiping standing in front of the door. She patted the headrest of the driver’s seat and said, ‘Let’s go,’
When she had walked far enough, she cautiously looked back. Through the rear windscreen, she could vaguely see Feng Yiping still standing in front of the hotel. She was about to wave, but the car had already started turning and she couldn’t see over there.
Feng Yiping looked in the closet and sure enough, there was a box. He opened it and saw a brown briefcase, a designer brand, not cheap. It seemed that this time, she had not followed the idea of not spending, or spending as little as possible. In fact, Ma Ling’s family was quite well off, her father was a real estate businessman.
There was a pink piece of paper next to it that said, ‘Neckties and belts are probably not suitable for me to give you, but you need a briefcase now.’ There was no ‘I love you’ or anything like that, but at the end there was a kiss.
…
At noon, Mike and his lawyer Bob arrived in Los Angeles. They were here because Feng Yiping had reached another agreement during his trip to the United States. After weighing the pros and cons, ACP’s Alan, after a few days of hesitation, took the initiative to propose that Feng Yiping invest.
The main reason is that ACP’s current financial situation is really not optimistic.
As the saying goes, a few steps ahead is a pioneer, but too far ahead and it’s easy to become a martyr. ACP is currently trending towards the path of a martyr.
In another five or six years, there may be many people knocking on the door asking for investment, but for now, there are still more people who applaud than those who are willing to invest, and Mike is no exception.
‘Feng, I think I have to remind you, is this a good direction? Yes, but how long will it take to see a return in this direction? I don’t think even Allen himself can say,’
Feng Yiping looked at him with a smile, ‘Thank you for your reminder. By the way, I have an English name, you can call me Vincent,’
‘Okay Vincent, and one more thing, there have been many companies like ACP that have been engaged in the research of electric vehicle technology over the years, but I estimate that less than 10% are still around now. Although I also admire Allen’s work and his persistence, I really don’t have a good outlook on the future of ACP,’
Mike did not forget to fight for his own company, ‘At least in the short term, the trend in the Internet industry is becoming less and less optimistic. This month, as far as I know, two more Silicon Valley companies have gone out of business, and a large number of talented engineers have been unable to find work. If you use this money to expand the company, I guarantee that the future returns will definitely satisfy you,’
‘I hope to see your detailed written plan for this,’ Feng Yiping said, ‘I will seriously consider it,’
In fact, in his heart, he really didn’t approve of expanding the size of the company on this side of Silicon Valley. The salary of software engineers of the same level here in Silicon Valley is several times higher than that in China.
Feng Yiping’s greatest hope is to make money abroad and then make the wallets of domestic employees bulge. He is very reluctant to use domestic profits to support these high-wage employees abroad.
If it weren’t for the fact that Silicon Valley has indeed gathered the world’s best group of software engineers, and establishing a company in the United States would be of great help to selling Zhitong’s software in the United States, he would not even have established this company. If you want to work, you can go to China.
Hong Haoran Club: At present, employees of domestic software companies have quite a few complaints about the phenomenon of companies in Silicon Valley doing the same work as them but earning several times more. If the scale is expanded, it is estimated that many people in the workforce will want to be transferred to the United States.
Lawyer Bob also said, ‘These technology-development-oriented companies, like director Cameron, always have an unlimited demand for capital and are not too strict about its use,’
‘Then that’s where you need to keep an eye on things, Bob,’ Feng Yiping waved his hands to stop them from persuading him further, ‘Thank you very much for your advice, but personally, I’m really very concerned about these new technologies that can change our living space and environment. Even if this investment goes down the drain, as long as it’s spent in this field, I’m willing,’
Feng Yiping put on a very high profile, and now Mike and Bob had nothing more to say. At the same time, they were somewhat impressed.
In the United States, although many people, from celebrities to politicians to ordinary people, talk about environmental protection, very few actually put their money where their mouth is and don’t care about the return.
But it’s good to work with such a noble and thoughtful young man. It’s more down-to-earth than working with those bosses who only care about money.
‘Besides, there’s a saying in my hometown: good people will be rewarded,’ Feng Yiping said meaningfully.
In the ACP conference room, Feng Yiping, represented as an investor in this deal and became a member of the ACP board of directors, and Allan Kunin, exchanged signed agreements amidst applause. Feng Yiping finally firmly planted a foot in the field of new energy vehicles.
‘Thank you, Feng,’ Alan said, hugging Feng Yiping, “with your investment, I am more confident in developing better technology,’
‘I look forward to it,” Feng Yiping smiled and patted him on the back a few times.
Feng Yiping was very clear about the focus that Mike should pay to ACP, ‘Pay special attention to those who want to use the company’s technology to set up an automobile company,’
‘Haha, Tesla and the like, I’m waiting for you to come to my bowl.’
