Chapter 1388 I'm Glad to Have You

Under the wing, the capital city with red walls, yellow tiles and tall buildings was getting farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, until it disappeared under the white and thick clouds. Feng Yiping was still looking outside quietly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. Can you draw another one? Think about whether you can draw the people sitting in the plane," Huang Jingping took Amanda's painting and kissed her on the face.

To be honest, this is the more difficult part of accompanying children. You often have to praise things that you don't agree with in your heart.

It is still as difficult to understand Amanda's paintings as it is for someone without any professional foundation to appreciate Picasso's paintings.

She said that he painted an airplane flying in the blue sky and white clouds, but it looked like there was a banana with wings like tentacles in the middle of the large blocks of blue and white.

The only advantage is that the little guy is very bold in using colors.

Amanda, who was encouraged, excitedly started her next creation. Huang Jingping sat next to Feng Yiping, "Are you worried?"

"No," Feng Yiping patted her hand, "Just some feelings. Tell me, this person's life, sometimes when you think about it, is it like a dream?"

When he was alone for a rare time, comparing the huge contrast between the past and the present, looking at himself now, he has achieved achievements that his former self could not look at directly, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some unreality, and the recent events have deepened this impression.

Huang Jingping looked at him in surprise, "Why do you think so?"

Indeed, such negative words are really not what Feng Yiping, who has always been confident and high-spirited, can say.

"Look, in fact, Cantalupo, at least, has the most balanced energy and experience, and is at the peak of his life, right? Look, our country's senior officials and above, at least at this age, are at the time to write the most magnificent chapter in their lives, but he has no chance now,"

"Also, do you remember the Delong team we met on the road when we went to order a car that year? So ostentatious, so impressive. At this time last year, they still controlled a business empire with assets of hundreds of billions,"

"But look at it now, in just a few days, that seemingly powerful empire now looks like a sand castle on the beach. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold up before the next high tide,"

After thinking for a long time, Feng Yiping decided not to get involved with the Delong Group. Although the Thomson Consortium entered Delong and began to investigate at the beginning of the year, it was too late. The companies under the Delong Group, which suffered losses and prospered together, were unable to turn the whole plate as the bank's money supply tightened and funds dried up.

With the development stagnating, the problems that were covered up by the previous rapid expansion broke out one after another. Even if the Thomson consortium could still implement the previously drafted agreement under this situation, the hundreds of millions of dollars they allowed Delong to use to repay debts could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket and would not help the overall situation at all.

By April 13, Delong was no longer able to maintain the rapidly falling stock prices of its three old stocks. In just a few days from then to now, the market value of Delong's companies has evaporated by billions, and it seems that this is just the beginning.

The decline in stock prices has led to a series of chain reactions. Then, the illegal guarantees and capital occupation of listed companies began to be exposed, and the entrusted financial management black hole of financial institutions also appeared. The storm quickly swept Delong.

Everyone knows that this once glorious business empire, this enterprise that once wandered in the gray area but has shown its willingness and actions to transform from an opportunity-based enterprise to an industrial enterprise, is on the verge of collapse.

At this time, its problem is no longer something that can be solved by funds. If there is sufficient rescue funds and the government is willing to endorse it, it may still have the possibility of Nirvana, but Delong currently does not have either of these two conditions.

In my impression, it seems that after holding on for a month or so, the Tang brothers had no choice but to flee...

"External wealth, even life itself, seems to be so impermanent, just like what is said in the Buddhist scriptures, like a dream, like dew and like lightning, doesn't this look like a dream?" Feng Yiping looked at the sky outside the window and said to the higher sky.

"I don't understand these, I only know that even if it is a dream, as long as I have you, as long as I have a daughter, then I will be satisfied, and then I will happily continue this dream," Huang Jingping said without hesitation.

Her words were also like a flash of lightning, which instantly dispelled the things that Feng Yiping was entangled with. Yes, why bother so much, even if this is a dream, then together with the people around you, just make this dream a good one.

…………

Chicago, at the doorstep of Cantalupo's house, his successor hurried downstairs to greet Feng Yiping, Cummins, and Buchanan, who had been in Chicago recently.

"Thank you, Feng, thank you,"

The new president of McDonald's is none other than Charlie Bell, the former operations officer, who has dealt with Feng Yiping several times.

"It should be," Feng Yiping said, shaking his hand.

This is indeed what should be done. Although the two sides have had some competitions in the process of interacting with Cantalupo, they are all based on the interests of their respective companies.

And judging from the results, in terms of cooperation with Redbox, Cantalupo represented McDonald's board of directors and firmly supported Feng Yiping's Coin Star, rejecting Hastings who was also eager to do so.

Not to mention that as soon as he met Feng Yiping, Cantalupo gave him a big deal, a big deal of millions of electronic pedometers.

In addition, the two companies are still in a cooperative relationship, so Feng Yiping should come to see this respectable businessman off.

"Charlie, this is really unbelievable news,"

"I actually can't believe it even now," Charlie said with a solemn expression, "Please come here, I will take you to meet Jim's family,"

The Cantalupo family's spacious house was crowded with people, and Feng Yiping stopped from time to time to say hello to some acquaintances.

The background of these large established companies is indeed not comparable to that of rising stars like them. Feng Yiping met many well-known American businessmen here who he had met once or several times.

But that's not all. Black brothers from Europe, Asia, and what looks like Africa are also present. German, French, Russian, Japanese, Arabic... representatives from almost all places are gathered here.

Cantalupo's family is very grateful to Feng Yiping for coming. Although he does not have this self-consciousness, he is really a figure now.

As soon as they arrived in the living room, before they had time to ask Buchanan how Comrade O'Hei was doing, they saw many people surrounding an old gentleman over there. The man was quite angry and spoke rapidly. What are you talking about.

"Stephen Adidas, CEO of Adidas and an old friend of Cantalupo's," Buchanan said, looking familiar as ever.

"What made him angry?" Feng Yiping was a little curious. Such people usually keep their emotions and anger secret.

"Wait," Buchanan passed for a while and came back a few minutes later, "it's because of some remarks in the media,"

“Criticizing Adidas?”

"No," Buchanan seemed a little embarrassed, "Some people are already criticizing that Cantalupo's sudden death was the result of eating too many burgers and fries."

Feng Yiping shook his head. No wonder Cantalupo's old friend couldn't suppress his anger. It was really annoying to issue such criticism now.

"In 1999 and 2002, the two presidents of Wendy's Burger, the third largest burger fast food chain, died of heart disease and liver cancer respectively. One was 56 years old and the other was 69 years old," Buchanan added.

Feng Yiping was surprised. This was the first time he knew about this. This ratio was indeed not low.

"Anyway, Cantalupo shouldn't be the one to blame," Feng Yiping shook his head. "At least he made some changes, promoted and encouraged sports, and advocated adding some fresh fruits and vegetables to their menu. "

"At least in this respect, McDonald's under his leadership has gone further than other companies,"

"Yes, it is really unacceptable to make such remarks at such a time." Buchanan immediately changed the subject, "Your proposal has now entered the implementation stage. He hopes to meet with you before you leave. "
