Chapter 1518: Want to Leave but Still Lingering
Near noon, Feng Yiping received a call from Jin Ling, "Come up now, come to my house,"
He looked at the time, "You're here?"
"I'm early," Jin Ling's words were full of joy.
He took the elevator to the top floor, and as soon as he rang the doorbell, the door opened. He saw Jin Ling wearing a big apron and felt a little curious, "You cook?"
"Who doesn't know how to cook a few dishes? You sit down first, I'll be ready soon,"
The layout of Jin Ling's place is similar to her own home on the opposite hotel floor, except that the decoration is obviously feminine and warm everywhere.
Feng Yiping stood by the window and looked at his home, which was just in front, "Don't look, you can't see anything, come and eat," she shouted from the restaurant.
"Do you want to see something else?" Feng Yiping said with a smile.
Although the hotel and office building are currently the tallest buildings in the surrounding area, the privacy of the top floor is better, but there is still smart glass installed there, which does not affect the lighting and can block peeping.
"Oh, it's not the hotel's takeaway," Feng Yiping said, looking at the exquisite dishes on the table.
"You'll know if you try it?" Jin Ling was not annoyed.
It really doesn't look like it if you look closely. You can tell from the knife skills. Although it's not bad, it's still far from the machine-cut uniformity of the hotel restaurant chef.
"It tastes really good, at least not worse than what I cook. It successfully refreshes my understanding of you,"
Jin Ling's attitude was particularly good. She was too lazy to argue with him. She peeled a few prawns and put them in his bowl, "Then eat more,"
"Why are you in such a hurry to come here?"
"I've been thinking that since the domestic company and the American company's business are relatively independent, it's better to separate them. I will only take care of domestic affairs, and the American side will also be upgraded to the same level as the domestic side. Do you think it's better to directly promote Cummins to president, or find other candidates?"
"What's the purpose of this adjustment? Who will do the coordination work in the future?"
"I mainly want to try to make the American side a truly American company, at least it seems that it has no connection with the domestic side," Jin Ling expressed her considerations.
"Are you considering this for the future, in case someone uses this to attack us?" Feng Yiping is also sensitive to this matter.
"Someone will definitely use this in the future, so it is not enough to do this alone. It is better to redesign the share structure of the American company so that it looks like it has no connection with China and you are not the only one holding most of the shares," Jin Ling further said.
"This is not a big problem,"
When he registered the American company, it should have been subconscious, and he also put a lot of effort.
When the American company was established, no funds were transferred from China - it was troublesome to transfer funds from China, and it happened that UBS had a lot of US dollars in its account at that time.
And those registered funds were transferred several times through various offshore companies, and the ownership of the equity of several institutions as shareholders seemed to have no connection.
To be honest, as a designer, Feng Yiping himself sometimes seemed to be confused by himself.
Jin Ling's suggestion is very good. Since everyone knows that he is the founder of those companies, try to dilute the Chinese color of other aspects.
In fact, it is also simple. In the shareholder structure, in addition to his personal investment, it is the obvious domestic trace of Forex Capital.
In this case, we should withdraw from Forex Capital and reduce our nominal shareholding to become less noticeable.
"This is still not enough. I consulted Drucker, and he also tactfully suggested that we should cooperate with well-known public relations companies. From now on, let these public relations companies that have a huge influence on HSD but only care about money, and organizations that are willing to instigate a war for money, do the relevant work for us in advance,"
"In this way, if a competitor attempts to use these to attack us in the future, he will immediately be counterattacked from all sides, making him feel desperate, and he will feel that he has lost more than he has gained,"
"For this goal, I think it is worthwhile to set aside the relevant budget every year from now on,"
"I did neglect this point," he couldn't tell Jin Ling. He invested in Aohe and introduced him to those financial backers in Silicon Valley, mainly for the future.
Besides, there are still three or four years between now and Aohe's coming to power, and he did neglect it.
Even when Obama finally takes office, the impact on Capitol Hill must also be considered. As we all know, the two houses of the US Congress often play against the government on many issues.
Moreover, the advantage of using a public relations company is that they do not have to deal directly with the members of the Capitol Hill. The public relations company will do it for them, which is more inconspicuous and safer.
"Your suggestion is very good. I will arrange the relevant matters immediately this time."
This is the measure that needs to be taken when it is not too big at present. After a few years, when it develops to the size of Facebook, who dares to make a move.
This is the benefit of reaching a certain level in highly commercialized countries including the United States. Although capital may not mean everything as exaggerated, it can definitely play a more powerful role compared with China.
American businessmen may use all means to attack competitors, but this one certainly does not include: confiscating a person's private property through the government.
Anyone who dares to violate this will have absolutely no room for survival in the American business world.
Feng Yiping is wary of the US government. Which of the richest people in the US is not like this?
They will never allow such a precedent to occur, because as long as there is one case, there will definitely be a second case, a third case...
"I have to raise a toast to you for the issues raised today,"
"Just a toast and you're done?" Jin Ling touched him, as if he had drunk too much. He looked at Feng Yiping with a straight face, "How can it be so cheap?"
"What else?" Feng Yiping decided to eat vegetables seriously.
"At least, we should be able to exchange for a trip this year or next year. Let's make an agreement first. It's just the two of us. Oh, your bodyguards don't count. Also, we are not allowed to push you around with the same conditions as in Greece."
In Greece, because of the performance of the women's volleyball team, Feng Yiping won the bet between them and could ask Jin Ling to agree to one of his requests unconditionally.
"Do you still remember this?"
"Of course I remember that the Russian women's volleyball team ruined my big event, do you know?"
"Did you really plan to use that condition to ask me to do something?"
"I don't know either," Jin Ling glanced at him with a charming look.
…………
After the meal, they stayed not in the living room which seemed a bit empty because of its size, but in her living room.
Because it is a private space, it is decorated in a very feminine style. Not only is the main color a light pink, but in addition to a set of fabric sofas, there is also a graceful imperial couch.
"Here, drink tea,"
The tea is black tea brewed with a bone china tea set, which is very British and exquisite.
Jin Ling came out of the bedroom next to her and changed into another set of clothes. It was a red-bottomed and blue-edged housecoat. The inner one was like a sleeveless V-neck pajamas, and the outer one was long. It was only on his knees. Feng Yiping tried his best to keep his eyes on the TV.
"What do you think we will be like in the future?" Jin Ling asked as he curled up on the sofa.
"In the future," Feng Yiping said at a certain point outside the window, as if looking forward, but actually recalling, "we should have more, faster and more convenient ways to obtain information. Watching news will not always be through TV. There are fewer opportunities to go shopping, but more and more time will be spent buying online, or waiting to grab some things online that look like a good deal, but in fact you can buy them or not..."
"I mean, the development of our company," Jin Ling didn't know when she had already sat next to him, resting her hands on the sofa and looking at him intently.
"The development of the company?" It will naturally exceed many people's imagination, but it is difficult to say.
"Actually, I haven't really thought about it in detail?"
"I really haven't thought about it in detail. How is it possible?" Jin Ling turned around and lay gently on Feng Yiping's lap. Hiss, Feng Yiping suddenly stiffened.
"What about us?" she asked softly.
"Us?" Feng Yiping carefully covered her with her home clothes. Specifically, he wanted to avoid exposing too much of his chest and not have too much physical contact with her. "I don't dare to think about it."
"Don't you dare to think about it?" Jin Ling grabbed one of his hands and put it against her face, "You can think about it now,"
Her face was smooth and hot. Feng Yiping didn't dare to move. He just left it there. "Aren't you going to work this afternoon?" He calmly changed the subject.
"I don't want to go to work, is that okay?"
"Of course, do you want to take a nap now?"
"Yeah," Jin Ling snorted lazily, turned over, rested on his lap, closed his eyes and took a nap, and even stopped asking the question just now.
I am afraid that I know that it is useless to ask further, or that I am already satisfied with my current situation.
And Feng Yiping just stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open...

Los Gatos, midday on the weekend.
"ahh\ahh\ahh\ahh\at\the\hop," Vincent hummed the children's song he learned in kindergarten, and jumped into the house. The first thing he did was to water the pots of flowers under the courtyard wall. Water - this is what he must do every time he comes home.
As soon as he got home, Ma Ling also relaxed, took off his coat, rubbed his neck and walked into the house, "Baby, I'm going to change my clothes first and prepare to cook. You remember to wash your hands first and then play with toys, okay?" "
This week, work has been extremely busy, and this morning she played with Vincent in the park all morning. The little guy was still full of energy, but she couldn't support it.
"Yeah," Vincent replied without raising his head.
But soon, he heard his mother who had just entered the house exclaim, "Mom, what's wrong?" He quickly threw the pot away and ran into the house shouting, "Mom,"
"Hi, little guy," Feng Yiping hugged Ma Ling and greeted him standing on the stairs.
"Dad," he was overjoyed and ran up happily, hugging Feng Yiping's thigh, "when did you come back?"
"You just came back," Feng Yiping bent down and picked up his son, kissing him hard, "Do you miss daddy?"
"I want to," Vincent hugged his neck tightly and immediately turned his head away, "I don't want to,"
"It's my fault that you didn't let him see you off at the airport last time," Ma Ling explained.
"Son, dad is not used to you seeing me off at the airport. Do you know why?"
Vincent didn't say anything, just looked at him straight, obviously waiting for him to give an explanation.
"Because, Dad loves you too much. If you come to the airport to see me off, I may not be willing to leave you for a business trip," Feng Yiping scratched his nose.
"Really?" Vincent immediately turned from anger to joy.
"Of course it's true. You are so cute and so obedient. How can Dad be willing to leave you? Tell me, have you listened to your mother these days?"
"I am very obedient,"
"Obedient? Who cried all the way to kindergarten that day?" Ma Ling said with a smile.
"Well, mom, don't say it," Vincent wanted to bet on Ma Ling's mouth.
"Haha, go wash your hands. I have prepared lunch," Feng Yiping put the little guy down and patted him on the butt.
"Yeah!" Vincent ran to the kitchen with a smile.
Now it was Ma Ling's turn to hang on Feng Yiping, smiling, "So good?"
"It can be better,"
"Hehe, aren't you leaving in the afternoon?"
"If you don't leave, I'll stay with you,"
"Yeah," Ma Ling kissed him loudly on the face as if she was kissing Vincent, "Take me to see what delicious food you made,"
…………
After lunch, Vincent finally fell asleep when he told the fourth story. Feng Yiping carefully put down his hand. As soon as he closed the door, Ma Ling came over with a smile, "Hold me," she said before blocking Feng Yiping's mouth.
The two walked to the bedroom where the curtains were drawn and it became dark, so there were many candles lit. Ma Ling pressed Feng Yiping on the bed, took off the only piece of clothing on her body, and bowed her head...
Until after four o'clock, while the little guy was watching cartoons, the energetic Ma Ling secretly sent Feng Yiping out the door, "Let's go,"
She let him go, but she didn't want to let go of her hand...
