Chapter 327 Three Women and the Gambling King Ask for an Audience
In the middle of the dinner, Son’s wife, Ms. Ohno Yumi, hurriedly arrived.
She went back to Japan a few days ago to visit her sick parents, so she missed the Yahoo listing ceremony in the morning.
Ohno Yumi is a Japanese woman of Chinese descent. It is said that she was born in Northeast China.
Therefore, when Ohno Yumi came to MASA restaurant, everyone discovered something very interesting:
Jerry Yang’s fiancée Yamazaki Akiko is a Costa Rican girl of Japanese descent;
Son’s wife is a Japanese woman of Chinese descent;
Li Xiaofan’s girlfriend Tang Xinyi is a Singaporean Chinese girl with half Japanese ancestry.
Because Sun Zhengyi has always believed that he is a descendant of the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Wu, three of the current shareholders of Yahoo are of Chinese descent. The partners of these three Chinese shareholders are all of Japanese descent, and two of them are of Chinese descent. What a coincidence!
After introducing each other, the three girls, Tang Xinyi, Yamazaki Akiko and Ohno Yumi, got together and started communicating in Japanese. They only use English when expressing themselves in Japanese is not satisfactory.
These three girls are all very fluent in English and Japanese, and soon they became good friends.
Three Yahoo shareholders, including Son Zhengyi, Jerry Yang and Li Xiaofan, smiled knowingly on the sidelines.
"It's such a coincidence that there are such coincidences in the world!" Son Zhengyi laughed.
Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Dr. Sun, I heard that the story of your pursuit of Mrs. Ohno was once a good story. Can you introduce it to us?"
"Haha, this story is a bit embarrassing to tell. When I graduated from junior high school and came to the United States from Japan, I studied English at an ELS English school. It was in that school that I met this lady Ohno Yumi. At that time Ohno is beautiful and in her prime. She has outstanding looks, a slim figure, and long flowing hair. She immediately fascinated me!" When Sun Zhengyi held the wine glass and talked about the past, his face was full of smiles and happiness, and his eyes were full of smiles. Flashback to old romantic memories.
At this time, Ohno Yumi on the side smiled and joked in English: "At that time, I felt that this classmate Son Masayoshi seemed to be a weirdo of unknown age, because he seemed very mature, but later I found out his actual age He is two years younger than me, and his appearance is too inconsistent with his actual age..."
Son laughed at himself: "Haha, my classmate Yumi Ohno didn't seem to care much about me at that time, because there were too many boys who were better than me in the school. But I secretly made up my mind to pursue this girl Yumi Ohno. So I started violently After half a year of studying at ELS, I entered Serramont High School, while Yumi Ohno, who had excellent grades, was directly promoted to Holy Name College. At that time, I was anxious, because if I stayed in high school as planned, it would be too difficult for both of us. The distance is too far!”
Son continued: "So, I made up my mind to study with Yumi Ohno, the sooner the better. After I entered Sierramonte High School, I found that the course content was not in line with my level. It was not too difficult, but too simple. So I mustered up the courage to go to the principal, Mr. Trujillo, and said: I want to go to college as soon as possible! Trujillo is an open-minded and bold principal, and after a simple test, he really let me skip a grade to become a senior in high school. of student. Then I kept reading and studied hard, even holding the textbook when I was eating and going to the bathroom. Principal Trujillo saw that I was working so hard, and he allowed me to take the ACT qualifying test for American college admissions. Then I passed it miraculously. I passed the ACT for American University Admission and successfully entered Holy Name College, where I studied with my beloved classmate Yumi Ohno. This is how I pursued the beautiful girl Yumi Ohno!”
After listening to this story, Li Xiaofan, Yang Zhiyuan and others all applauded. Son’s legend is not only in investment, but also in pursuing a partner. He is truly a god!
After everyone applauded, Ohno Yumi blushed shyly after drinking a glass of cocktail. She smiled and said:
"Two years later, this classmate Sun Zhengyi entered the University of California, Berkeley, to study economics. One day, he suddenly came to me and said: From now on, you don't have to ask for money from your family. I have money. Let's get married! His words I was shocked, is this a proposal?"
Moritz laughed and said, "Isn't Mr. Sun still studying in college at that time? Where did he get the money? Did he win a lottery ticket?"
Son Zhengyi burst out laughing after hearing this.
Ohno explained with a smile: "Later I learned that while studying at Berkeley, this classmate Masayoshi Son was not only studying hard, but also constantly using his brains to invent and sell patents. He used his spare time to invent a pocket-sized voice translator. I gave the patent to Sharp and miraculously made hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, before I graduated from college, I married this weirdo of unknown age..."
The love story with Son Masayoshi that Yumi Ohno told was the most exciting part of today’s dinner, which made everyone look at Son Masayoshi with admiration again.
Tang Xinyi held Li Xiaofan's arm and said softly: "Dear, I feel that your story is not inferior to Mr. Sun at all, you are also legendary!"
"Shh, let's keep a low profile!"
At this dinner, the warm friendship between three beauties of Japanese descent, including Tang Xinyi, Yamazaki Akiko and Ohno Yumi, deepened the relationship between Li Xiaofan, Yang Zhiyuan and Son Zhengyi.
At the end of the dinner, Tang Xinyi warmly invited Yamazaki Akiko and Ohno Yumi to bring their husbands to Singapore as guests next time.
…
The next morning, Li Xiaofan accompanied Tang Xinyi to inspect several well-known art schools in the Bay Area, such as San Francisco Art Institute SFAI, California Institute of the Arts CCA, and San Francisco Art University AAU.
Back at Tangyuan Restaurant at noon, third sister Tang Zixin was overjoyed when she heard that Tang Xinyi initially planned to come to San Francisco to study and help Li Xiaofan manage the American Yifan Investment Company.
"Xinyi, it would be great if you could come to San Francisco! Let me tell you first, you are not allowed to rent a house outside. You can live in my sister's house. We two sisters live together and have a lot of fun!"
In the evening, Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi took a United Airlines flight from Tokyo to return to Singapore.
In the afternoon of Singapore local time the next day, Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi arrived at Changi International Airport smoothly.
Not long after getting off the plane, Li Xiaofan received calls from Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" financial reporter Yang Meiqian and Singapore's "Straits Times" reporter Xu Manli.
On the phone, Li Xiaofan asked Straits Times reporter Xu Manli strangely: "Reporter Xu, Lin Jianwei of your American reporter station has already interviewed me, why do you still want to interview me?"
Xu Manli smiled and explained: "Director Li, Lin Jianwei's interview with you yesterday was published in the newspaper, and it caused a great response from Singaporean readers! The editor-in-chief asked me to conduct another in-depth follow-up interview report on you. Also, I also I would like to use you to interview the heads of the other two Singapore-based Longmeng and Longyue investment companies that invested in the Yahoo project with you last year. Isn’t it convenient?”
"Oh, that's it. Can you do it tomorrow morning?"
"Well, okay, then we'll see you tomorrow morning!"
"Lianhe Zaobao" financial reporter Yang Meiqian also called and asked for an in-depth interview report. Li Xiaofan made an appointment with her tomorrow afternoon.
Li Xiaofan had just returned to the terraced house dormitory when the phone rang again. This time it was Zhao Lixuan, the marketing director of Singapore Star Cruises, a subsidiary of Genting Hong Kong.
"Good afternoon, Director Li. Are you back in Singapore?"
"Well, I just got home."
"Director Li, congratulations. We saw in yesterday's Straits Times the story about the Yahoo project you invested in that was successfully listed on Nasdaq!"
"Thanks!"
"Director Li, are you free recently? Our Chairman Lin Guotai would like to come and visit you?"
After hearing this, Li Xiaofan smiled inwardly: The last time he visited Director Lin, he seemed to be more polite and indifferent.
But now, times seem to have changed, and the future gambling king has taken the initiative to come and ask to see him...
