Chapter 871 Two Girls Who Came to Hong Kong (Two in One)

On the evening of June 9.

Isabella's plane landed at Kai Tak International Airport.

Lin Baicheng personally went to the airport to pick up Isabella, and left after picking her up at the VIP exit.

The extended Lincoln drove to a villa owned by Lin Baicheng. Lin Baicheng has many villas in Hong Kong, and there are more than a dozen villas that no one has ever lived in. This time he specially arranged one of them for Isabella to live in.

If Isabella comes to Hong Kong in the future, she will live here directly. Of course, if she wants to live in a hotel, it's up to her.

When Isabella came to Hong Kong before, she stayed in a hotel by herself. At that time, Lin Baicheng and her were still in a superior-subordinate relationship, so naturally he would not arrange a villa for her to live in. Now the relationship between the two is different, and the treatment is naturally different.

"Alan, I miss you so much!"

Like most foreign girls, Isabella is very enthusiastic and hugs and kisses as soon as she gets in the car.

Lin Baicheng naturally responds.

After a while, the lips parted.

Lin Baicheng put his arm around Isabella's waist and said, "Bella, you should have made arrangements for New Century Software, right?"

"Don't worry, Allen, I have made all the arrangements. My coming here will not affect the company."

Isabella replied immediately. She thought Lin Baicheng was worried that her leaving the United States would affect the operation of New Century Software.

"It's good that there will be no impact. I believe in you, Bella."

Lin Baicheng smiled and said, "Bella, it's rare for you to come to Hong Kong. Since it won't have any impact, stay a few more days this time." It's rare for a beauty to come to Hong Kong, so of course he hopes Isabella will stay a few more days.

Even if it has an impact on the company, it's okay, as long as the impact is not big.

Besides, it's not the same as before. International phone calls are also very convenient. What's more, Isabella is not so important to New Century Software that she is indispensable. Her short-term absence will definitely not affect the company's operations.

If there is an impact, it is not just Isabella who should be blamed. Vice Presidents Hank Randolph and Wayne Jim are also responsible. After all, they were the ones managing the company when Isabella was away. If the company has problems, who else can they find?

"Okay."

Lin Baicheng asked her to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days, and Isabella certainly would not refuse.

"Bella, how is the company's revenue and profit in the second quarter?"

Lin Baicheng asked casually. Although it is not yet mid-June, the company's senior management should have a rough estimate of the second quarter's performance.

"Revenue in the second quarter has grown steadily, but profits will be reduced a lot due to the construction of the database, and as the scale of the database grows, the expenditure in this area will also increase."

Speaking of this, Isabella paused and continued: "There are already voices within the company to reduce the scale of database construction. The main reason is that the expenditure in this area is too large, but there is no profit direction."

A database is a warehouse that organizes, stores and manages data according to the data structure. It is a collection of large amounts of data that is stored in a computer for a long time, organized, shareable, and uniformly managed.

To store data, a large amount of computer equipment is needed to build a physical database, so the investment will be huge.

"Don't worry about those voices for now. The investment in the database is necessary, and the future prospects are unlimited."

The database is actually the predecessor of the data center. The era of cloud computing and big data requires the support of a large amount of data. With the development of the Internet, the database will naturally find a profit direction.

In addition to cloud computing, artificial intelligence also requires a large amount of data, so the database is the foundation. Without this foundation, the future cloud computing and artificial intelligence will have nothing to do with New Century Software.

Of course, New Century Software is an American company after all. Since Lin Baicheng knows the future, when the Internet in Hong Kong develops, he will definitely set up another company to do operating systems and databases, etc., and will not let New Century Software occupy all the markets.

Lin Baicheng is sure that with the development of the Internet and its increasing importance, if New Century Software develops into an Internet giant, he will definitely not be able to hold the control of the company anymore, and can only give it up. It is very good to be a major shareholder, and even becoming a major shareholder of the company is not possible.

Therefore, for the layout of the Internet, Lin Baicheng cannot rely on companies in the United States. He can only make money from these companies, and he has to start a new business in Hong Kong for the corresponding technology.

This is the same as the semiconductor company. Lin Baicheng also established a company called Galaxy Semiconductor in Hong Kong. As semiconductors become more and more important, the technology he can really control still depends on Galaxy Semiconductor. Galaxy Semiconductor in the United States is unreliable.

"I am worried that as the company's investment in databases increases, it cannot see the direction of profitability in the short term, and other shareholders will have opinions. After all, not everyone has such a long-term vision as you, Alan."

Isabella said with some concern. After all, New Century Software Company is now a listed company. It is true that Lin Baicheng is still the company's largest shareholder, but he cannot ignore the interests and demands of other shareholders. Moreover, it is impossible for Lin Baicheng to not reduce his holdings in the company. When his holdings in the company are only 20% or 30% one day, his control over the company will face serious threats.

"Let's talk about it when they have opinions."

Lin Baicheng said indifferently, he had already thought of the worst case scenario. If a large number of shareholders did not support the establishment of the database, then let New Century Software Company split and sell the entire database department, and he would secretly buy it and directly steal the achievements of New Century Software Company. In this way, he might make more money.

However, Lin Baicheng also knew that the establishment and development of the database could not be separated from the companies that deal with data, so it would be better not to leave New Century Software Company if he could.

"I will try my best to stabilize the company."

Isabella nodded and said, she must be on Lin Baicheng's side, although she was not optimistic about the database project now.

"Yeah."

Lin Baicheng changed the subject and talked to Isabella about something else.

After sending Isabella to the villa, Lin Baicheng talked to her for a while, and then asked her to rest first, because he happened to have something to do. Isabella came to Hong Kong by passenger plane this time. Passenger planes are incomparable to private planes. After sitting on the plane for more than a day, she was indeed a little tired.

In the evening, Lin Baicheng came to Isabella and took her to the Hutchison Hotel for dinner.

That night, Lin Baicheng naturally stayed at Isabella's place.

The next day, Lin Baicheng specially cleared today. He originally wanted to take Isabella to Hong Kong for a stroll, but in the morning, he learned from his secretary Chen Huixiang that Maori Haruko had also come to Hong Kong and was looking for him.

Maori Haruko had come to Hong Kong, and it was not appropriate to leave her behind, so Lin Baicheng talked to Isabella.

"Bella, Haruko is in Hong Kong, I plan to let her come over, what do you think?"

"Okay, I haven't seen her for a long time."

Isabella smiled and agreed, secretly cursing Maori Haruko as a bitch in her heart, and she didn't know how she knew she was coming to Hong Kong, and then came here to cause trouble.

Isabella knew that Maori Haruko was now working in Japan and spent most of her time in Japan, just like she spent most of her time in Los Angeles.

Before coming to Hong Kong, Isabella had someone investigate to confirm that Haruko Maori was in Japan. But she had just arrived in Hong Kong yesterday, and Haruko Maori suddenly came to Hong Kong. Isabella would never believe that Haruko Maori just happened to come to Hong Kong. She believed that Haruko Maori came to sabotage after learning that she was coming, so as not to let her and Lin Baicheng have time alone.

Although she guessed Haruko Maori's purpose, Isabella could not refuse to let Haruko Maori come. She did not want to leave a bad label of jealousy in Lin Baicheng's mind.

So, even if she was very unhappy, Isabella could only pretend to welcome Haruko Maori.

"Well, I'll ask someone to pick Haruko up."

Lin Baicheng said and asked Chen Huixiang to pick up Haruko Maori.

In fact, although Lin Baicheng didn't know Isabella's inner thoughts, he could roughly guess that Isabella didn't welcome Maori Haruko, but he couldn't ignore Maori Haruko just because Isabella didn't welcome Maori Haruko. To be honest, he and Maori Haruko have a deeper relationship. Besides, he couldn't spoil Isabella in such a matter. After all, he had more than one woman, so he could only pretend that he knew nothing.

Many times, you should still pretend to be stupid.

Not long after, Maori Haruko was taken over.

"Cheng Jun!"

As soon as she saw Lin Baicheng, Maori Haruko ran to hug Lin Baicheng tightly, and then showed a smug smile to Isabella in a place where Lin Baicheng couldn't see.

"Bitch!"

Isabella was so angry that she knew that Maori Haruko, the bitch, was doing it on purpose, and it was true.

But with Lin Baicheng around, Isabella couldn't get angry, and even the two words "bitch" were spoken with her mouth, without sound.

Haruko Maori can speak English, and with Isabella's expression, she read what Isabella was going to say. She didn't care about it at all, on the contrary, she was very proud.

Lin Baicheng and Haruko Maori just hugged and let go, after all, Isabella was still here.

"Haruko, Bella, although you should have guessed it, I still want to formally introduce you to each other."

Lin Baicheng said to the two: "The relationship between you and me is the same. You are all my women. I hope you can get along well in the future and help me develop my business together."

"Huh?"

Haruko Maori exclaimed when she heard it, and looked at Isabella in surprise: "Is President Kent the same? I thought President Kent was devoted to his career and would not fall in love before the age of 35."

"President Maori is the same."

Isabella looked at the pretentious woman in front of her and couldn't help feeling sick.

Lin Baicheng looked at the two and said, "Bella, Haruko, I think you will be closer if you call each other like this."

"Chengjun, I listen to you."

Haruko Mori said as she extended her hand to Isabella, "Bella, please take care of me in the future."

"Take care of me in the future, Haruko."

Isabella smiled and shook hands with Haruko Mori, hiding her displeasure.

Lin Baicheng certainly knew that it was impossible for them to get along like good sisters, and he had never expected that. As long as the two of them did not hostile each other in front of him, it would be fine. As for the struggle behind the scenes, as long as it was limited to a certain scope and scale, there was no need to pay attention to it.

And to put it bluntly, Lin Baicheng needs the assistance of Maori Haruko and Isabella in his career. After all, they are among his closest people. If the two of them really become good sisters, then Lin Baicheng is a little worried that they will unite to deceive him.

Just like the emperors in ancient times, they all hope that their ministers will be divided into several factions and hostile to each other, so that the emperor can sleep peacefully.

In today's corporate management, it is similar. If the professional managers below have a good relationship, they will definitely worry that they will unite to deceive the boss.

Lin Baicheng changed the subject: "Haruko, when did you come to Hong Kong?"

"I arrived last night, but it was too late when I came, so I didn't contact you, Chengjun."

Haruko Maori replied, and then pretended to be curious and asked Isabella: "Bella, when did you come to Hong Kong?"

"Pretend, keep pretending."

Isabella mocked in her heart, but said with a smile: "I just arrived yesterday."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Haruko Maori nodded seriously, and then said: "By the way, Bella, your birthday is tomorrow, right? It happens that you are in Hong Kong, let's celebrate your birthday together tomorrow. What do you say, Chengjun?" The latter sentence was said to Lin Baicheng.

Haruko Maori knew very well that Isabella came to Hong Kong this time, definitely to let Lin Baicheng celebrate her birthday, so she must not let Isabella get her wish. If she also celebrated Isabella's birthday together, Isabella would not be able to be alone with Lin Baicheng.

On her birthday today, Lin Baicheng was unable to celebrate for her because he was in the mainland, and Mao Li Haruko naturally didn't want Lin Baicheng to celebrate for Isabella alone.

Isabella looked at Lin Baicheng nervously. If it wasn't difficult to refuse, she would definitely refuse to let Mao Li Haruko celebrate her birthday. She wanted this woman to get out of here.

"Since Haruko is willing, let's do it together. What do you think, Bella?"

Lin Baicheng thought that he didn't celebrate for Mao Li Haruko this year, so he just followed Mao Li Haruko's thoughts.

"Of course, I have to thank Haruko."

Isabella smiled and agreed. If eyes could kill, Mao Li Haruko would have died countless times under her eyes.

"This is what I should do. After all, we are family."

The goal was achieved, which made Mao Li Haruko very happy.

Lin Baicheng changed the subject at this time to prevent Mao Li Haruko from irritating Isabella again. There should be a limit to everything.

Originally, Lin Baicheng was planning to take Isabella to visit Hong Kong today, but since there was an extra person, Haruko Mori, he naturally took Haruko Mori along.
