Chapter 1666 Trouble Is Approaching
The sun was setting when he came out of the living room. Yang Dongxu did not stay in this manor, but drove to another manor.
The manor where we met before belonged to Dean, and it was inconvenient for him to have too many bodyguards with him. Therefore, Dean did not do much to retain him.
The manor he drove to now belonged to Yang Dongxu, but now it was in Dai'er's name. Of course, Dai'er is not a direct holder, but an indirect holder.
Since joining Google, I have traveled all over the world and attended various top parties. The princess of the Spencer family, who has attracted the attention of countless media and young talents in high society, is now becoming more and more low-key.
For such a big thing as becoming the CEO of Google, there wasn't even a press conference. This figure is rarely seen in the media, newspapers, or even on the Internet.
Even the covers of various time magazines that some celebrities like, or interviews that highlight status, are basically blocked by her from her options.
It seems that apart from work, it is difficult for anything to disturb her.
At the same time, Daier also changed her nationality to that of the United States. Of course, both the United Kingdom and the United States recognize dual nationality, so the American nationality did not cause any waves.
"How does it feel like your first international business trip?" When he returned to the manor, he took off his coat, and the burning fireplace made Yang Dongxu feel the warmth of the room.
Domestic luxury homes pay attention to all kinds of modern appliances and decorations. Luxury homes in Europe and the United States, especially independent manor houses, always feel like they are missing something if they do not have an exquisite and distinctive fireplace.
At the same time, in China, which is still developing, experts and professors clamor every day not to burn coal, or even to allow rural people to burn earthen stoves, asking everyone to use gas to protect the environment.
As a result, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, various fireplaces burn wood, but these people and the public comment on them as being close to nature and primitive life.
Every time he sees these double-standard people, what Yang Dongxu wants to do most is to stick a stick directly into these people's mouths to shut them up.
"It's different from what I imagined, but it feels a bit the same." Zhang Jing said with a smile.
"What do you imagine an international business trip should be like?"
"When we were picked up from the airport in a luxury motorcade, and then to the presidential suite of the five-star hotel, you were walking at a leisurely pace in front, while I was beside you and reported various itineraries and things as fast as I could.
Then we went to various high-end cocktail parties and went to a partner's company. First, we visited other people's modern fashion companies. Afterwards, we sat in the conference room and engaged in various verbal negotiations. "Zhang Jing thought for a moment and said.
"Why does the picture feel so familiar?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.
"The work of the big bosses in idol dramas are all shot this way. Do you think they are very handsome and stylish?" Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Three black lines appeared on Yang Dongxu's forehead, and he looked very handsome and stylish. They are just showing off in a concave shape, but in reality, there are only one boss who has real wealth and status.
Who is the same as the overbearing CEO in the idol drama?
That is to say, when posing for magazine covers, everyone is sitting upright, looking like successful entrepreneurs who are wise and far-sighted. In real life, none of them, including Bill Ganz, are wearing suits and ties.
I'm worth hundreds of millions, and my social status is so high. I can't live my life as I please. If I want this money, what's the use of my social status?
"Okay, no more joking, what will be my next job?" Zhang Jing asked.
"The main job for you to come here this time is to get used to the work process and atmosphere of being an assistant. Someone will bring me information tomorrow. You first follow him to familiarize yourself with my overseas assets.
Then I will work with the team to pool the liquidity that I can draw from these assets, which I will use over time. "
"I understand, is there anything else?"
"Let's get this done for the time being. Well, you can have the high-end cocktail party you imagined. Accompany me to attend these two days, but it won't be the same as the various suits and ties and evening gowns you imagined from the upper class, and there will be reporters blocking the door. A party where you can take pictures is different.
The party we are going to is relatively private. Let me introduce you to some people. Your work will inevitably intersect with them in the future.
As for the cocktail party you imagined, for example, Queen Tianying will entertain those people you just met in the manor we went to.
The royal family's formal banquets are much grander and more upscale than the so-called high-society gatherings you see on TV. It's a pity that you can only take a look, because I can't attend such a banquet. "
"When you can participate in the future, you must bring me to learn more." Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Zhang Jing knew why Yang Dongxu couldn't attend the Queen's banquet. Because before coming here, I had a general understanding of the work I was going to do and Picken and others.
The Queen of England's banquet is actually a statement to remind the consortium in the United States not to go too far. After all, what his grandson did was reasonable and legal, and everyone is a civilized person and should not act like a hooligan.
Although the American consortium is powerful, the British royal family is not at the mercy of others.
Of course, taking a stand is a statement. How to choose when it comes to a head-to-head confrontation is another matter.
Yang Dongxu is indeed not suitable to attend such an occasion. Not to mention whether his attendance will irritate the sensitive nerves of those in the American consortium, various Chinese threat theories have been arranged.
If a Chinese person attends such a top-level gathering, the public will also question it.
In short, China is indeed developing rapidly, and the Olympic Games will be held next year. But the Chinese are still in an awkward position in these sensitive occasions.
Many things, as long as they involve Chinese people, people from Europe and the United States will instantly focus their attention on the Chinese people, nitpicking and finding faults. As for the right and wrong of the matter itself, it is not important and can be ignored directly.
So even if he is one of the leaders of this group, and even holds the absolute right to speak in this group. But now he can't come to the front.
"Rest early, tell the servants directly what you want to eat and buy. There are Chinese chefs in the manor. If there is nothing that suits your taste, you can order food from Yang's Banquet in London."
"I know, you do your thing, I'm not that hypocritical, I can take care of myself, I'll take a shower and adjust to the time difference, and then I'll be energetic to work for you, the capitalist." Zhang Jing teased, and followed the servant up to his room.
Yang Dongxu went directly to the study. Zhang Jing will be very busy in the next few days, and he will also be very busy.
For example, tomorrow morning, I will meet with Jack and Abel alone. Many things need to be planned and arranged.
At the same time, Google is being targeted by the US consortium, not just GPS. YY, an instant messaging company, is also being targeted.
After all, some venture capitals have finally packed up the CC and MM teams and taken them abroad. They want to build this product to dominate the market and become their future cash cow and gold medal industry.
How could it be easy for YY to stir up trouble in the international market?
YY has already risen in the Chinese market, and Yang Dongxu is not suitable for the hot market, so they have no choice but to withdraw from this market where the growth rate of netizens is enviable.
But in the international market, whether it is Sequoia or Goldman Sachs, or Microsoft, which supports MM behind the scenes. These are not what Yang Dongxu can compete with.
Because Sequoia or Goldman Sachs, on the surface, they look like just a venture capital company. But in fact, there is a consortium behind each of them, and more than one.
In addition, various congressmen and various wealthy businessmen put their money in these two venture capitals to help them manage their finances and investments. If these two companies want to do something that can integrate resources and mobilize power, even the consortium dare not underestimate it.
So the two companies joined forces to ban YY, even though YY is more mature and better than these two products. But in the competition for the international market, it has always been suppressed by CC and MM.
And from time to time, there are various annoying harassments such as government departments investigating whether user data is safe, whether there is illegal competition, etc.
In addition, as he accumulates more and more power abroad, many assets or companies have begun to be a little difficult to hide.
Originally, some European and American consortiums saw that he was building a team and entering Hollywood, and thought he was a person who liked to show off.
Although it seems that he has made a lot of money whether investing in Hollywood or investing in the team. But these are clear profits under their noses.
Even if they are very unhappy with Yang Dongxu's money, it is still within the tolerance range.
But when all signs show that in addition to these superficial investments. Yang Dongxu actually has some operations and investments that they cannot tolerate in private.
This discovery made many people who are afraid of China tense up instantly, and various in-depth investigations have begun.
Although these things are temporarily covered up by Little Jack, Abel, and Dale, it seems that there will not be any big commotion.
But it is only a matter of time before some things in the shallow water are exposed.
So before those who don't want him to rise, how to become a giant shark that those people in the deep water dare not easily touch, has become his top priority to solve.
In this way, many originally planned more covert growth plans have to change the plans and choose some more radical ways to grow quickly.
Otherwise, those people will not give him time to grow in a wretched way.
"Find a way to survive the next one or two years, and wait until Obama takes office, you can almost breathe a sigh of relief. Although this is a president who seems kind, but in fact is tougher and more aggressive.
But at least this president is willing to sit down and talk with you, and use a softer way to press step by step. Instead of the president and the consortium in front of you, seeing the prey, they pounce on it and bite it without shame."
In the study, I sorted out what needs to be done, and then thought about it and had a general idea. Yang Dongxu began to adjust the current development plan of his overseas assets.
