Chapter 629 Li Ye Is Angry, the Consequences Are Serious

On the afternoon of the second day after Li Ye arrived in Hong Kong Island, he flew to the Lighthouse Country with Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo.

Because it was already the middle and late part of the twelfth lunar month, they had to hurry up.

Although Li Ye and Wen Leyu planned to spend the Spring Festival in the Lighthouse, Pei Wencong, who had a strong traditional concept, would still come back to reunite with his mother before the Spring Festival.

On the plane, Li Ye gave Wen Leyu a personal profile.

"Xiao Yu, after arriving at the Lighthouse, you have to help me see if this person is reliable. If I make a mistake, our family's future property may suffer a certain loss."

"Let me see someone? I'll do it!"

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye in surprise, but still took the personal profile.

To be honest, this trip to the Lighthouse with Li Ye has exceeded Xiao Nizi's expectations many times.

Originally thought it was a love trip carefully planned by Li Ye, but before leaving, he gave her a large stack of investment information, which made Wen Leyu feel the satisfaction of being "reused".

But now this decision about the future family property has put Wen Leyu under great pressure.

You can know a person's face but not his heart. Wen Leyu feels that he is not good enough to see through a person!

However, after flipping through the information, Wen Leyu whispered: "Isn't this Mr. Jeff? What's wrong with him? Is there anything unreliable about him?"

Witt. Jeff is one of the translators of "A Song of Ice and Fire". He is a graduate of the history department, but when he took on this novel translation job, he was already a car mechanic.

His translation of the novel is two extremes from Jonina. Jonina has delicate character creation and great emotional entanglements, which is especially popular with female readers.

Jeff's version is more magnificent, which can make readers feel a deep sense of the times and is also conducive to film adaptation.

Li Ye whispered: "We need an investment manager. Jeff seems to be okay, but the future investment is too big, and people's hearts are unpredictable, so we must be cautious."

"Investment manager?"

Wen Leyu looked at Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo not far away, and suddenly remembered the "skin color" issue that Li Ye had mentioned.

In the eyes of many Westerners, except for white people, everyone else is a pariah.

Although she felt very uncomfortable, Wen Leyu still looked down at Jeff's information. She was a strong girl, but she also knew how to endure.

Li Ye patted Wen Leyu's hand and said softly: "Store food and wait until we become king. We are short of food now. When we become king, yellow skin will be the most noble color."

"."

Wen Leyu raised her head and looked at Li Ye's serious eyes. After a long time, she smiled.

"Okay, I believe you."

. . . . . . . .

Li Ye and others arrived in New York on the east coast of the lighthouse on the morning of the third day, and then immediately rushed to Boston, more than 300 kilometers away.

Boston Route 128 is a semi-circular road adjacent to the downtown area of ​​Boston. It is only 92 kilometers long,

but there are thousands of R&D companies and institutions along the route, as well as 65 universities including MIT and Harvard University.

Relying on strong scientific research power and research funds from defense, aerospace and other fields during the Cold War, countless world-class scientific and technological achievements have been produced in this 92-kilometer-long area.

If Silicon Valley is the most famous high-tech industrial area in the Lighthouse Country after the 1990s, then before the 1990s, Boston was a well-deserved high-tech industrial center.

Especially in the computer industry, there are large companies such as Digital Equipment Corporation, Wang Computer, Apollo Computer, Honeywell, and Claywitt, and computer sales account for more than 40% of the US market share.

And the target of cooperation negotiations by Li Ye and others this time is Wang Computer Company.

Wang An, a Chinese who left the mainland to study in Lighthouse in 1945, founded Wang Computer Company, whose name was not known to future generations decades later.

But in the early 1980s, it was a computer company that dared to challenge IBM, and it treated Microsoft and Apple as younger brothers.

Bill Gates once said in an interview: "If Wang An could complete the second technological reform in time, Microsoft would not exist in the world at all."

This year, Wang An Computer defeated its arch-rival IBM and signed a $480 million super order from the Lighthouse Air Force, making it the most glorious year for Wang An Computer.

And this year was also the year when Wang An Computer began to decline rapidly.

Harvard Business School even included the case of Wang An Computer in its textbooks to study why it failed.

In just three years, Wang An's losses offset their total profits accumulated over 33 years. Two years later, Wang An Computer declared bankruptcy.

"I once rose alone, and I should fall alone", this is the judgment of the outside peers on Mr. Wang An, a genius of a generation.

Li Ye chose to come to Boston at this time just to see if he could prevent this legendary company from falling alone.

But Li Ye received an unexpected news just after arriving in Boston.

"Mr. Li, things have changed. Just a few days ago, Mr. Wang An resigned as the president of Wang An Company, and his son Mr. Wang Lie took over the company."

"."

Li Ye was silent for two seconds, and said: "No matter who takes charge of the company, our negotiations have been scheduled long ago, right? We have almost finished the discussion, do you have any other questions?"

Pei Wencong smiled awkwardly and said, "There should be no problem in the general direction, but some details and terms may need to be re-communicated.

Mr. Wang Lie has made an appointment with us to go to their company for negotiation this afternoon. Do you think you should go?"

Li Ye was stunned and asked, "This afternoon? Didn't you make a new appointment with him?"

Pei Wencong said awkwardly, "Wang Lie said that his father's health is not very good, and he has to accompany Mr. Wang An these days."

"What time did he say in the afternoon?"

"Two o'clock."

Li Ye frowned immediately.

It's already twelve o'clock, and they flew from Hong Kong Island to New York and then to Boston. The journey was tiring for more than twenty hours. This arrangement is very inhumane.

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye's face and tentatively said, "Mr. Li, why don't we change the contract with them? This kind of joint venture project has many uncertainties."

"No, let's go and see what Mr. Wang means!"

Li Ye's face returned to calm, and then he notified Wen Leyu and others to start taking a shower and changing clothes.

Since Ni Dashen expressed his determination to "enter the personal computer market" to Li Ye, Li Ye asked Pei Wencong to find a suitable computer manufacturer for cooperation.

Because of Wang An's Chinese identity, Pei Wencong chose Wang An Computer Company and had already negotiated most of the details. The two parties jointly invested in setting up a computer company in Hong Kong Island, targeting the surrounding markets such as Nanyang and the mainland.

Li Ye's original intention was to let Pengcheng Fengyu and Factory 506 send technical personnel to join the computer company in Hong Kong Island, first concentrate on learning, and then absorb the most advanced technology in the world's computer industry step by step.

But now that it's the last step, why do I have a bad feeling?

. . . . . . . .

Li Ye's feeling was very accurate. When they tidied up their instruments and arrived at Wang An Company five minutes in advance, Mr. Wang Lie was actually twenty minutes late.

"Sorry! I have something to deal with. I kept you waiting for a long time."

"."

No one responded. Because Li Ye's face was too calm, Pei Wencong and others all looked at the latecomer silently.

[The boss is angry. ]

Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo have been following Li Ye for so long, they know that Li Ye is angry.

But they don’t know that the consequences of Li Ye’s anger are very serious.

Wang An Company has come to the last crossroads to change its fate.

But the company’s leader seems to be unaware of the red light ahead and is still stepping on the accelerator of the car.
