Chapter 1343 Los Angeles

Los Angeles is called the City of Angels, but it is the second-largest city in the United States. It wants to beat the big boss New York and take the throne of the largest city in the United States.

It's just that I've been working hard, but I always feel like something is missing. Especially now that Hollywood is almost popular all over the world, the name of "City of Angels" is getting louder and louder. It seems that the throne of the boss is just a matter of taking half a step forward, then turning around and sitting down. But New York just sits on the position of the boss and doesn't come down, which makes Los Angeles very crazy.

However, it is not the most embarrassing city in the United States. The most embarrassing city in the United States is the capital Washington. As the capital of the world's only superpower, Washington is also an absolute metropolis, but it always feels that there is no sense of existence.

Not to mention compared with the big boss New York and the second Los Angeles, even Chicago, which has always been known for its poor public security, is better than it. Do you believe it? Then there are Houston and Philadelphia in front.

Even in the early years, San Francisco was more famous than it, and it can be said to be one of the worst capitals in the world.

However, no matter where the GDP ranks, American metropolises have a common feature, that is, the public security is very poor. In the past few years, even metropolises like Los Angeles were poor in shootings, and even large-scale demonstrations were accompanied by various arson cases.

In short, public security has always been one of the most troublesome issues for the US government. Every presidential election, the public security issue is a long-lasting slogan with various promises.

However, compared with previous years, the public security in Los Angeles has improved a lot in recent years, although shootings cannot be eliminated. But there are fewer arson cases during various demonstrations, and there are basically no more black racial discrimination parades that have shocked the world. Overall, it is still acceptable.

"Boss, it's more difficult to see you than to see the president." Dom, who was almost as fat as a ball, came up and gave Yang Dongxu a big hug.

Then he shook hands with Chen Xin politely. He didn't dare to kiss his boss's woman. Although this is etiquette, he knows the conservatism of Oriental people. After all, his big boss is a very traditional Chinese.

"The president wants to see you because he wants you to spend money. If you see me, it basically means that your salary can go up again." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Others may be bragging when they say it's easy to see the president, but Dom is obviously not bragging. After all, it's not uncommon to see the president in the United States, especially for a businessman like Dom who is worth hundreds of millions.

It's easy to see the president at some celebrity gatherings, and donate to candidates before the election. Especially for propaganda channels with great influence like Easy Listening Music, it is the main battlefield for many candidates. So it's really easy for Dom to see the president.

"Boss, are you really optimistic about YouTube? It's just an ordinary video website at present. Although it's rising very fast, it doesn't seem to be to the point where you have to go there in person. After all, we are now its major shareholder and have priority in the first round of financing. There's no need to be so anxious."

Chen Xin got into another car alone, and Dom sat in the back seat of the extended bulletproof Mercedes-Benz and talked to Yang Dongxu.

"Not just because of him, I came to the United States for other things to discuss, and even to meet the Kennedy family. I called before because YouTube was rising too fast, so I wanted to confirm with you." Yang Dongxu said.

"I said it." Dom nodded.

This is much more reasonable, after all, he knows exactly what kind of power his boss has. With YouTube's current small reputation, it is not possible to trouble his boss to fly all the way here.

"At this rate, the first round of financing for YouTube will start, right?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.

He is an angel investor of YouTube. He spent 300,000 US dollars on the first direct investment and got 30% of the shares, which can be said to be as cheap as cabbage.

After all, although the founder of YouTube felt that the website was good at that time, he was still confused and full of uncertainty about its future.

In fact, not only the founder of YouTube, but even the entire Silicon Valley could not see the future of video websites clearly, after all, they were not Yang Dongxu's prophet.

So after getting the angel investment, the founder of YouTube started to work hard, and after the launch, he felt that the market performance was okay. However, if he wants to continue, the first round of financing must be started, because the publicity costs are really a rip-off.

"It's almost done. The website has received good feedback after its launch. If you want to go to the next level, the website itself must be further improved, and the publicity costs must be many times more. Add to that the money paid to the operator, and this is not a small number. The founder of YouTube doesn't have that much money, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get 30% of the shares with 300,000 US dollars."

"Find out about the shares and quotes they are going to take out in the first round of financing. Since this investment seems to have a good return now, there is no reason for us to get off at this time, or dilute our equity. After all, YouTube is short of money and needs financing. We have so much money that we don't know what to invest in."

"That's right, boss. They are poor, but we are rich. There is no reason to get off at this time." Dom laughed.

Compared to the tech geek he used to be, Dom now deeply understands the benefits of being rich. So when he sees other colleagues having a headache about investment, he can wave a lot of money, drink fine wine, and hug a beautiful woman. This feeling is really good.

"It is best to get the controlling rights completely. Of course, the YouTube team is doing a good job now, so the management rights can be appropriately compromised. But it is best to hold the controlling rights in hand. After all, we spent money, so we naturally have to get more." Yang Dongxu added.

Although the biggest reason for coming to the United States this time is this YouTube, the matter has not yet reached the point where he personally intervenes. So let Dom do it. Others will know that he is so sad about this matter and ask for a lot of money.

"Boss, what you said is as correct as the Bible. The strong should get more." There is no wine in the car now, otherwise Dom feels that he must call his boss to have a drink. He has already stood in the ranks of capitalists and feels that his boss's words are simply wise sayings.

Compared with the saintly bitches who are sad after getting rich, the rich and capital in the United States are more pure. Of course, some charitable reputations will still be managed.

But when it is time to show fangs, it is never vague, and the consideration of issues is always from the perspective of capital. As for those charities and reputations, they are things that need to be embellished after making money. In a word, you are nothing without money.

The car drove directly into the headquarters building of Yiting Technology. Compared with the initial start-up, when everyone was crowded in a small office, not to mention drinking and eating, just eating hamburgers became a problem.

Now Yiting Technology is definitely a well-known large enterprise in the industry, and its assets are running wildly towards the goal of tens of billions of dollars. In addition to the current industry's most credible online music charts.

Yiting Technology also provides music download services and offline physical cooperation with major record companies, and also purchases a TV station with good ratings. In addition to relying on Haina's film and television resources behind it, sports have various hot spots of the 76ers championship team.

At present, Yiting Technology has also begun to show its prominence in the news, and is one of the most typical companies that have successfully combined the Internet and industry. So Dom is not only a new rich man with a net worth of over 100 million, but also a double darling of the media and Internet industries.

"Hi, Kane, long time no see?" After inspecting the company, Yang Yao and Kane gave each other a big hug when they came to the most important R&D department.

In the past, the technical research and development of Yiting Technology was controlled by the general manager Dom, but with the increase in his net worth, Dom became more and more like a successful businessman. Although his technology was not bad, it was no longer as pure as before.

Therefore, Kane, who had been growing up with the company, became more and more technically competent and even top-notch, but a little shy, and became the director of the company's technical department.

Kane was indeed not good at handling interpersonal relationships, but Dom was in charge of this aspect. He only needed to convince the technical department staff with his own technology, so that Dom and his cooperation could be said to complement each other. It is the main driving force for the current prosperity of Yiting Technology.

"Hello, Boss, long time no see." Kane smiled.

Unlike Dom, who changed more and more as he got richer, Kane is now worth hundreds of millions, after all, he holds the original shares of Yiting Technology.

But compared to a few years ago, Kane still looks the same, with a tired face that always shows that he has not woken up or has not slept enough. His eyes were narrowed and only lit up when he saw the rows of headache-inducing codes. He didn't care about food and clothing. It was common for him to fall asleep on his desk when he couldn't hold on while working.

In short, what are beauties, wine, and games? Only code is eternal, okay?

"You must take good care of Ka Nei, this is our company's big baby." After coming out of the technical department, Yang Dongxu said to Dom.

"Don't worry, Boss, I take better care of Ka Nei than the hospital takes care of ICU patients. There are two full-time nannies at home, one helps him take care of everything in his life, and the other helps him prepare various nutritious meals.

The company also has three logistics to serve him, and all kinds of annual physical examinations, proper physical exercise and massage are not less." Dom patted his chest and said with his fat body shaking.

He is indeed more and more like a businessman now, but he is not a confused businessman after getting rich. He knows clearly who he relies on to have all this now, and who is the indispensable core of the company's current achievements in technology.

So his arrogance is just the arrogance of spending money in the eyes of outsiders. He does his best to do his job well in the company, better execute the instructions of his big boss and protect the company's big treasure, Ka Nei. He does everything to perfection.

Perhaps he chose the wrong path as a technical geek before. His current job is his lifelong ideal, and he loves it very much.
