Chapter 149: Skunk's Conflict of Ideas

"Boss, the negotiation has come to an impasse. The other party is biting hard on the shares. It seems that they want to guarantee the absolute advantage in the shares."

After the day's negotiations ended, Mahathir returned to the hotel and communicated with Li Zitao on the phone as usual.

"Strive to gain an advantage in voting rights. Our main body will not be put in it. As long as we can control the company's development direction, we can make concessions in terms of shares."

Putting down the phone and holding a new toy, Greta, a snow-white chow, looked up and asked, "Since the matter is very important, why don't you stay in New York?"

"That woman is difficult to deal with. If I were here, I might not be able to hold on to some things." Li Zitao said calmly.

"Is it the charm of the other party that makes you unable to hold on?" Greta directly pierced his little thoughts.

"..." How do you know so much?

Li Zitao chose to run away to avoid seeing him, because he was really afraid that Juliana would stalk him, and there would be another beauty trick.

Once or twice, he can still bear it. If he comes a few more times and adds some intimate contact, Li Zitao will be a little unsure of himself.

"What kind of guy am I, don't you have a B number in your heart?" Lust Charlie Lee.

Although the progress of the negotiation was not smooth, Li Zitao was not worried at all. Compared with his urgency, the Rothschild family seemed more anxious.

They have missed the feast of the United States for too long. If they do not choose to enter the market, they will lose their presence among the many giants in the financial world in the future.

Otherwise, why would Juliana swallow her anger, she was about to vomit blood after being attacked by Sanil and Mahathir, but she still had to back down step by step.

It seems that the big drama in New York will take some time, but the land acquisition and demolition of the 18th block in Chicago has made new progress.

After Li Zitao changed the target, the whole thing became very smooth. The owners took the money and left, the park was blocked by the isolation zone, and Bechtel workers and machines entered the site one after another.

The main task in the early stage is to level the road surface, survey the geology, and make final preparations for the start of work.

The designers of Bechtel brought him quite a surprise in terms of the building of the Los Angeles branch, so this time the design was still digested internally.

However, Li Zitao put forward several requirements for the building of the college.

Advanced, technological sense, the combination of humanities and nature must have its own characteristics, and the road must be directly south and north. Don't create a maze, and your students will get lost.

Regarding teaching buildings, libraries, museums, experimental centers, etc., a series of buildings must have their own characteristics.

There is no need for a sense of fashion, a sense of the times, strong practicality, it does not look awkward, and it is easy to create an impression in people's memory.

These requirements sound simple, but they are actually the most difficult to achieve.

How can something that can be impressed in people's memory at a glance be ordinary?

Just like walking on the street, all living beings pass by you, who can remember each other's face.

But if it's a beauty with a good looks and a hot body, maybe the five-fingered girl will have to work hard again tonight.

"I'm going to Santa Barbara, do you want to go with me? There are farms where you can go fishing, ride horses, and play golf." Li Zitao asked.

"Okay." Greta nodded as she stroked the soft hair of the Chow Chow, and she was also suffocated here.

Except for the occasional Aymo who can talk when he comes, the rest of the time is alone.

When Li Zitao is not around, she will enjoy the loneliness calmly. When he appears, Greta wants him to be by her side more.

This feeling appeared more and more frequently, and Greta knew it was dangerous, but she couldn't control the purest emotion from the bottom of her heart.

Get the car ready, and Li Zitao and Greta set off in the car.

Two hours later, the car stopped at the gate of West's manor. The old man was not here, and the housekeeper said that he had gone hiking with the residents of the town.

"It's such a chic life..." Li Zitao muttered.

"Miss Greta is going to rest here, take care of her." Leaving two bodyguards behind, the car started again,

Head to the Skunk Works.

The factory shed I saw last time was still the same, but the new R&D center that broke ground around it has changed a lot.

"Boss, 60% of the underground part has been completed. I believe it will be completed in two months. All the pillars of the superstructure will be finished..."

The person in charge of the construction site introduced the progress of the project to Li Zitao. He was also in charge of the Osborne Medical Laboratory 80 miles away.

"To maintain the current progress, we must ensure the quality of the project. I don't want to find the building sinking or cracking in 10 or 20 years."

"Boss, don't worry, this will never happen." The other party said confidently.

Hearing this assurance, Li Zitao nodded in satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the factory shed. He and Hughes hadn't seen each other for a while.

"No, no, hide all these steel nails, its streamline should be more like a missile, or a bird swooping and swooping, rather than the current beer belly."

"Reducing the size is simply not possible, unless we can compress the size of the engine and all the components, we will not see results in a short time."

"Why do you want to see the results in a short period of time? I never said that I want to fly him into the sky tomorrow...Charlie, when did you come?"

Hughes, who was arguing with Johnson, finally saw him leaning against the plane, but his personality of striving for perfection made him unable to resist saying to Johnson: "Do as I say."

"Let me talk to him." Smiling apologetically at Johnson, Li Zitao hooked Hughes' shoulder and walked out.

"Man, how long has it been since you went on a date?" The two stood at the door chatting.

"It's been a long time since I came here." Although the time was not very long, it was really a long time for Hughes, who was a playboy by nature.

It's just that during this period of time, he put all his energy into the plane, so that he forgot about drinking, forgetting women, and even forgetting time.

"Listen to me, go change your clothes, go to the bar for a drink, and find a hot girl to have fun with. You have to know how to give your subordinates time and space."

"I didn't urge them." Hughes said unconvinced.

"Your existence is a kind of urging. Looking at you now, it's like a clockwork spring that is spinning endlessly.

As a boss like you, do they dare to relax? "

Although the speed of the United States is very disappointing, for people engaged in research and development and technology, it is normal to sleep and forget food and squat in the office for several weeks.

It's just that Hughes put forward too many requirements at one time, and he himself is constantly improving the plan. Every improvement represents an improvement and a breakthrough.

This sense of urgency with no end in sight and no goal in sight will drive people crazy.

Hughes, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder and perfectionism, doesn't think there is a problem. He puts all his enthusiasm and energy into it, and doesn't feel changes in the outside world.

But the rest of the staff can't, they can't replace Hughes, and they can't do what he does.

"Hoo..." Breathing the fresh air, Hughes, who had calmed down, also realized that he was too eager for success and pursued perfection too much.

So after saying goodbye to Li Zitao, he drove to Santa Barbara, planning to give himself a two-day leisurely vacation.
