Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.

Arriving in the capital, Lin Su did not continue to struggle with certain emotions. After getting off the plane at Shunyi's Capital Airport, she hurried to the nearby Chaobai River.

A site survey meeting is taking place here.

It involves a slew of cooperation agreements signed by the Westeros system with China on Tuesday, one of which is the construction of Yggrete's second Chinese data center in the Beijing area.

Moreover, compared with the first data center in Shanghai, which will be officially opened in June this year with a final investment of 30 million US dollars, in order to show China's determination to promote the development of the information industry, the investment scale of the Jingcheng data center will reach 100 million US dollars.

Whether it is 30 million US dollars or 100 million US dollars, converted into RMB, the amount is very large.

However, these two data centers are nothing compared to the large data centers that Igreit has invested in and built in Europe and the United States. The construction plan of eight data centers around the world announced by Igreat after its listing last year, with a total investment of 2.5 billion, and an average cost of more than 300 million US dollars per data center.

Of course, whether it's $30 million or $300 million, it's pretty expensive.

Therefore, at this stage, only a few large technology giants such as Igreat can play this important Internet infrastructure, and the data center using more mature cloud computing technology is currently only Igreat in the world.

Other competitors either have no funds or no technology, even if a few have both, it is inevitable to see Igret's figure who is far ahead.

Lin Su actually felt that this project was a bit big and inappropriate.

China's Internet industry is just emerging, and a single data center in Shanghai will be enough in the short term. In fact, Igreit also believes that even if it agrees to build a second data center in China, the scale originally envisaged is only the same as the first one.

However, the Chinese side has investigated the scale of Igreat's overseas data centers, and feels that the investment of 30 million US dollars is too stingy. After all, a data center in Europe and the United States is 300 million US dollars, how can it be ten times worse?

So raised to $100 million.

Like many other projects signed this time, 100 million US dollars of investment, half of which is a low-interest loan provided by the Chinese government, the land is also given away, and a group of domestic companies who are expected to use this data center have been signed in advance with the help of the government. Large corporate customers.

Busy until the evening, returning to the city, the evening is another unavoidable entertainment.

In recent days, a South African investment company quickly finalized a construction machinery manufacturing joint venture project with the capital of 100 million US dollars.

According to the news from all parties, the conclusion of the agreement was largely influenced by Simon Westeros' trip to China. A large number of overseas capital began to pay close attention to China, and South Africa was worried that there would be competitors in this project. He gave up some details that were still negotiated repeatedly, and reached an agreement decisively.

This is a microcosm of the immediate stimulus effect Simon's trip to China has brought to China's introduction of foreign capital.

The contract was signed yesterday, and today the city government held a celebratory dinner. The South African side expressed the hope that representatives of the Westeros system could participate.

Simon Westeros is definitely not invited.

Then, some of the other core executives who remained in China also all refused, and one was not invited.

Where is South Africa?

All right.

So it fell on Lin Su.

Lin Su was not interested in the first place, but she had no choice but to find her father's help in lobbying. As Simon Westero's China affairs assistant, he could not give face to others, but as a daughter, it was impossible not to give face to his father.

So reluctantly attended.

She was also greeted, hoping that she could speak English the whole time, so that South African friends would not suspect that she was recruited to charge her.

Then say it.

At first, I thought I was going to entertain a group of black people, but when I arrived at the dinner party, I found out that they were all white people, which was a bit unexpected. And obviously there was sufficient communication in advance, but no one doubted her identity, and the other party did not rashly ask her to help introduce Simon Westeros, etc. The dinner was quite pleasant.

The banquet was over, and it was already nine o'clock in the night.

Returning to the courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong, Nanluoguxiang, a girl named Jiang Shanwu and another waitress greeted them. They were used to the inseparability of this girl and her sister Jiang Yuanchi. At this time, there was one missing. Lin Su was a little strange. The inner courtyard walked over and asked casually, "Where's your sister?"

Jiang Shanwu followed Lin Su and explained, "My sister has gone to the Chinese drama. Mr. Ella Deutschman is holding an exchange meeting there tonight. Well, it's a girl sent back today by Sister Chen who wants to see it. Look, my sister went with her."

The famous Chinese Opera campus is more than 100 meters away from this house. Lin Su also knew about the arrangement of Deutschman's exchange meeting, but he noticed another thing when he heard the words: "What girl?"

Jiang Shanwu said: "My name is Li Youhu. Mr. Westeros took a fancy to her to participate in a movie and was sent back to receive performance training. Sister Chen also arranged for her to live here for the next few days."

The first reaction is that some guy is messing around again.

sour.

Immediately realized that I was wrong.

If he was going to mess up, where would he need to send the girl back.

Thinking back a little, there are too many girls, but this is mainly due to Chen Qing's concern. She only cares about money, and she doesn't remember what the girl named 'Li Youhu' looks like.

Just ignore it.

send two

The maid guard who followed her for a day went to rest, passed through several deep courtyards in the courtyard, and came to the inner courtyard. Seeing that Jiang Shanwu and the two were still following, Lin Su said, "You also go to rest."

Jiang Shanwu did not leave: "Sister Lin, you have been tired all day, do you need me to help prepare the bath water?"

Lin Su opened the door and entered the suite in the west wing. She shook her head and said, "No, I still have things to do."

Jiang Shanwu took a step forward, but did not follow the door rashly, but said, "Then, I will help Sister Lin make a pot of tea."

The girl's attitude was earnest, and Lin Su did not refuse after hesitating a little.

Jiang Shan Wu sent the other girl behind her away, followed the room alone, and went to the small bar in the corner of the living room to get busy.

This is a connected suite. In fact, it is a room shared by Lin Su and Chen Qing. The entrance is the living room, the study on one side and the bedroom on the other. There is also a spacious private bathroom next to the bedroom.

After entering the door, Lin Su turned to the study on the left, turned on the light, turned on the computer, and took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he brought in.

As Simon's temporary China affairs assistant, Lin Su needs to pass on the various work dynamics of the Westeros system team here and some important documents to him every day. In fact, it is equivalent to his eyes. Things have to be tracked down.

In ancient times, it was probably the role of the supervisor who usually played the villain.

After a little bit of grooming, Lin Su began to sit in front of the computer and beat, and after a while, Jiang Shanwu brought a cup of tea and a fruit bowl. Quietly placed next to Lin Su's hand, the girl hesitated for a while, and then said, "Sister Lin, why don't I stay here with you, this house is so big and the night is empty, it might not feel good."

After Simon left, the huge courtyard was left with only Jiang Shanwu and other seven maids and Lin Su who lived here.

In fact, there are security guards from the Westeros family, but they live nearby and monitor the surrounding of the mansion without dead ends through the connected security system. In addition, the Chinese government attaches great importance to this courtyard. Even if the mansion is full of women, There will be no problems with security.

Just, it's really empty.

You know, not to mention the nearby Keyuan, but the five-entry courtyard here, where more than a dozen families lived in the beginning.

These few days have been busy, and I have a quick rest after finishing work every day, but I don't feel much. Hearing what Jiang Shanwu said at this moment, Lin Sucai felt really empty.

Seeing that Lin Su didn't refuse immediately, Jiang Shanwu said softly, "Sister Lin, I'll sit outside and accompany you, so I won't disturb you."

Lin Su paused and said, "Okay, you can watch TV outside."

Jiang Shanwu showed a sweet smile: "Then I'll keep my voice low, and I will be angry only when there is a sound in the room."

Said to go to the outside living room.

After a while, there was a subtle TV sound that didn't bother you.

Lin Su continued to be busy and answered several calls during the period.

Chen Qing called and talked with her about work and Li Youhu.

And Lin Dong, the younger brother of Peking University, asked her if she was free tomorrow and wanted to have lunch with her. Tomorrow is Sunday, but I don't have time. Knowing the purpose of my brother, I thought about it and made an appointment in the morning, and said that I would send a car to pick him up earlier.

Then there are other trivialities.

Occasionally pay attention to the girl outside, Lin Su also knows the other party's intention to be close to her, she is quite thoughtful, a bit like Chen Qing, but much worse than Chen Qing.

Not bad enough.

And I don't worry about the phone call just now being heard. There is nothing important. If there is a problem, it must be a guy's problem.

After all, this is a Wei family maid.

Lin Su still knew how strict the selection of waitresses in the Wei family was.

Busy until 11 o'clock, finishing the day's work summary, scanning some documents into electronic documents, and sending them to Yangshuo by email together, this is the end of the day's work.

Seeing that she was done, Jiang Shan Wu diligently took the initiative to prepare the bath water.

After a tiring day, Lin Su no longer refuses.

After changing into a bathrobe and entering the bathroom, the bathtub was already filled with hot water. Seeing that Jiang Shanwu had not left, Lin Su sent, "Xiao Jiang, you can go to rest."

Jiang Shanwu looked over, with a somewhat flattering expression: "Sister Lin, do you want me to wash with you?"

Lin Su was stunned: "..."

Jiang Shanwu and Lin Su looked at each other, their faces were beautiful, their eyes were watery, and their tone was soft: "Sister Chen likes it very much. Or, I can call my sister to come with me, she should be back. Wait, we can stay. down."

...

Early the next morning, Lin Su almost fled from the crowd of the two sleeping girls.

Excited, regretful, apprehensive, guilty.

And so on.

Some even don't quite understand who is taking advantage of whom. Anyway, I must have lost my head last night. If a guy finds out, he may not know how to punish her, because he subconsciously feels, and it is also true, that the women around him should of course belong to him.

At a certain moment, it was because of the weird thoughts that wanted to take advantage of him that he couldn't suppress his thoughts.

Emotionally distracted, I ate dinner with my younger brother Lin Dong and his girlfriend Bai Lan in the morning, but he still couldn't harden his heart.

Want to go abroad together?

Go, go, go.

After all, it wasn't difficult for her.

It's his own brother.

As for a certain man's hidden evil thoughts about this, she is just a little woman beside him who can't escape, how can she manage so much.

After breakfast, I saw my two younger brothers away, forcibly cheered up and started another busy day.

In the morning, I discussed the cooperation plan with an English training school called New Oriental.

This is a project that Simon entrusted to her and Chen Qing's small team. It was invested in the name of Apollo Management Company, but it was actually directly controlled by a fund under the name of Westeros Company. Men became interested in China's vocational education industry last year, and New Oriental School was the first investment target after many investigations.

Because it has only been established for three years, the volume is not large, but the development momentum is very good.

There are also many problems.

Equity disputes and management infighting.

In the face of Apollo Management's contact, New Oriental gave a very positive response, so they started formal investment negotiations, and the framework has been basically finalized. Next, Apollo Management will redesign the corporate structure for the other party, and will also expel some restless executives by buying out shares to eliminate internal hidden dangers.

At the same time, the Westeros system will obtain 40% of the company's shares, so the funds provided will support the company's next expansion. After all, China is still in the period of going abroad, and the market demand for English training is very high. big.

In the longer term, it is to push the company to go public.

Lin Su followed up on this project seriously, but she had her own opinions in her heart, and it was because of someone.

Speaking of English training, in essence, New Oriental is more like a professional overseas training institution. Someone indirectly supported such a company through the Westeros Corporation, perhaps for the purpose of investing, but Lin Su still felt that a certain guy was uneasy and kind.

Go abroad.

If all the talents go abroad, how will China develop?

This is the most obvious intention that Lin Su can think of a certain guy, but she always feels that things shouldn't be so simple. After all, there is really no shortage of people in China, and many people will come back after they go out.

Well, will still be back.

The afternoon was a meeting between Levison Group and Hilton Group.

It still starts with a series of agreements signed on Tuesday.

The agreement signed by Simon on April 23, the second day of the public schedule of his trip to China, mainly includes five major projects.

The first, and the largest, is the Levison International Center construction plan, with an investment of $1 billion.

Second, several major Chinese telecommunications giants and the Westeros system, Cisco and America Online two companies in the Internet equipment procurement, Internet technical support and other aspects of the cooperation agreement totaling 500 million US dollars.

Third, Nokia expects to invest US$250 million in a large-scale manufacturing center integrating technology research and product manufacturing, located in Suzhou Industrial Park.

Fourth, the restructuring consulting and IPO underwriting agreement signed by Apollo Management Corporation and First Boston Corporation with China Telecom (the predecessor of China Mobile), the contract amount involved in the public data is 200 million US dollars.

Fifth, the construction plan of the Beijing data center is expected to invest 100 million US dollars.

Five major cooperations, with a total amount of 2.05 billion US dollars, or about 17 billion yuan in RMB.

Among them, Levison International Center is located at the intersection of Chang’an Street and Knitting Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing. It is only 6 kilometers away from the Forbidden City and only one block away from the famous International Trade Center. It is estimated to cover an area of ​​25 hectares and a construction area of ​​2 million square meters.

Simon also knew that in the original time and space, this happened to be where the Wanda Plaza later was.

On the other hand, the Levison International Center is exactly twice as large as the first phase of the International Trade Center, which is one block away, in terms of investment scale, floor space and construction area. The first phase of International Trade, which was started in 1985, covers an area of ​​12 hectares, with a construction area of ​​1.1 million square meters and an investment of 500 million US dollars.

It seems to have doubled, but it's a 10-year gap, so it's not hard to imagine how favorable the Westeros system is.

In addition, Levison International is not close to the development of the International Trade Center, but is separated by a block. It also clearly has the Chinese side's intention to appease the Malaysian Guo family behind the International Trade Center. If the significance of this project is not too great, there will be no second large commercial center in this area in the short term.

Because the functions are similar, it must mean competition.

It is conceivable that China will certainly have more pacification and compensation behind the scenes, in order to dispel the grievances caused by the Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia.

This is off topic.

The Levison International Center is expected to take six years to develop, two years for design and relocation, four years for formal development and construction, and complete completion in 2002.

However, according to the development progress, it is expected that some buildings will be put into use around 2000.

Investing in a large-scale commercial center is definitely not what ordinary people imagine to be able to start after planning. Instead, it is necessary to carry out investment promotion in advance, and lock in some important customers in advance, including charging part of the deposit, etc., and some project plans must be adjusted according to the requirements of customers, so as to avoid risks to the greatest extent.

Otherwise, millions of square meters of building space will be completed, but no one will settle in. It will become a laughing stock, and no one can afford the huge loss.

Like the Jingcheng data center, China has already matched a number of important corporate customers in advance, but the rest has to be recruited by the Westeros system itself. Therefore, in addition to some in-house businesses of the Westeros system that will be stationed in the Levison International Center in the future, various other clients are also being negotiated.

complete

It is impossible for Simon to move all the Chinese subsidiaries of the Westeros system to the capital. It is estimated that no one family can afford the 2 million square meters of construction space.

One of the clear intentions is the Hilton Hotel.

The presence of this well-known luxury hotel group in Levison Center will also become an important symbol in the future.

Of course, the Hilton Hotel Group is still leasing.

The entire Levison International Center will be leased and not sold in the future.

Just kidding, Simon is crazy to sell the golden property on Chang'an Street at this time. Even if it is to be sold, it will have to wait until ten or twenty years later. At that time, not to mention the huge rent that has been collected for many years, but the value of the property itself will definitely be dozens of times more than it is now.
