Chapter 244: Pick-up
Silicon Valley, inside Twitter's office.
Jack?? Dorsey was busy answering the phone, "Yes, Wang will gradually come to attend the launch of Apple's new products." ”
"Yes, normally, he would have signed the physical book. ”
When he hung up, Dorsey sat down in his chair, as if remembering a time when he was very obsessed with fantasy works.
"These nerds are crazy, but book lovers are okay with it. ”
"But the infatuated king?
He also has the same troubles as the product marketing manager of Apple Computer.
"Come on, this is Silicon Valley! Even Tom last time?? Hanks came, but it didn't cause much of a stir. He looked at the phone that kept ringing and turned it to silent.
"Alright, stop complaining. A middle-level leader in finance patted him on the shoulder, "It is inconvenient for the company's senior management to pick up the airport in person, and this time the pick-up task is handed over to you." ”
The marketing manager looked at his watch and asked as he prepared to go downstairs, "The hotel and the driver have been arranged, I just need to welcome the Asian writer to his destination, right?"
But when he walked to the door of the office building, he suddenly found a chubby figure behind him.
"Mr. Wozniak, where are you going?"
"Airport!" Wozniak didn't look up, just rubbed his hands over two books.
One of them is "Arcane Throne" published by Random House.
The other is "Anomalous Creature Observations", which he printed and designed the cover by himself.
Belch...
The marketing manager looked at one of the founders of the company and didn't know what to say for a moment.
If it weren't for the other party's high status, he would really have the heart to kick the other party's fat figure hard!
"Let's go. Wozniak looked up and looked at him with sincere eyes.
"However, you are a senior executive of the company, which is not in line with the rules of business!" the marketing manager shouted in his heart.
Just a moment later, he sighed.
Forget it, forget it.
At Apple, no one can control the big guy.
What's more, it's just such a trifle?
It is estimated that even the "tyrant" Steve?? Jobs, I wouldn't mind.
With a sad face, the marketing manager put Wozniak in the back seat of the stretch car.
But when he arrived at the airport, he once again felt that his three views were shocked.
"Why are there so many people, it's Bill?? Is Gates coming to Silicon Valley today?"
"Bill, I didn't hear he was coming. Wozniak looked in the direction of the terminal with an expectant expression, "What's more, he's just a slightly famous technician, and he doesn't deserve to be picked up by so many people." ”
He pointed to the crowd holding the Arcane Throne, "There are many people here who are better than him!"
With that, Wozniak wriggled and squeezed into the crowd.
Please, is there something wrong with your focus?
Bill?? Is Gates the richest man in the world, okay?
The marketing manager looked at a lot of well-known programmers in Silicon Valley, and they were excitedly communicating something.
"Another Stan?? Lee?"
"Fuck, nerd is always nerd, even if it's millions, tens of millions, or even billionaires, the brain circuits are still not normal. ”
The marketing manager raised his hand and looked at his watch and saw that there was still some time before the pick-up.
So, he turned around and found a seat to sit down, completely unprepared to communicate with the group.
A Caucasian young man with an annual salary of tens of millions and wearing a haute couture suit sat alone in the waiting room, and he actually felt a little sad.
Compared with Wang Gradual, this bit of desolation is nothing.
After all, he can choose to stay out of the way and not communicate with others.
And Wang Yan, who was sitting in the first-class cabin, was not so lucky.
Two hours ago, because of the first-class package, Wang gradually complained twice.
Unexpectedly, this sentence was heard by two Asians who were also dissatisfied with the first-class food.
Because the other party's English was mixed with Cantonese pronunciation, Wang gradually communicated with the other party.
As you can imagine, the heated discussion of hot pot and roast duck did not happen.
The other party didn't even talk about shrimp dumplings, morning tea and other Guangdong delicacies.
The other side told him how delicious the fish and chips were in London.
This made Wang Yan, who had lost his appetite recently because of his busy work, almost vomited.
In order not to torture his appetite, he changed his tone and began to ask other questions.
At first, it was relatively normal, and the two said that they used to live in Hong Kong and have now emigrated to the UK.
I came to the U.S. this time mainly to make investments.
Wang gradually asked casually, why didn't the other party go to the mainland to invest?
After all, according to Lyman, even Goldman Sachs is laying out and trying to enter the mainland market.
But I don't know what G-spot this sentence provokes on the other side, and begins to satirize the unprofessionalism of Wall Street elites.
The implication is that New York doesn't deserve to be called the "financial center of the world" at all, and the real talent has always been in London.
"For example, what is the current economic growth rate of the United States, and what are the housing prices?"
"Isn't investing in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae more cost-effective than investing in the mainland?"
"Not only have we invested in these two businesses, but through them, we want to invest in more properties. ”
Wang gradually remembered that Tom had been warned by Lehman because of his investment in ADCDE, a subprime mortgage real estate fund.
"Although ADCDE was pioneered by Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs has been buying short. ”
can watch the two of them boasting about the merits of the "empire on which the sun never sets", which can be called spiritual British.
Wang gradually could only pout his lips and said nothing more.
But I didn't expect the two people who were chatting to have no intention of letting go of Wang gradually at all.
"Young man, you have to know some high-level friends in the West to get better investment news. ”
"You know what? Even the first-class tickets were bought for us by Fannie Mae. ”
Fortunately, Tom, who was very tired from looking for a translator, woke up.
Wang gradually finally had a reason to get rid of the entanglement of those two people.
But because of the seat problem, after the plane landed, the two followed behind Wang gradually without a ghost.
After passing through the ticket gate and walking out of the terminal, one of them patted Wang gradually on the shoulder, pointed to the crowd and said, "See? Those groups are connected through British friends and are buying American real estate." ”
With that, the two quickened their pace and crossed Wang gradually with a smile.
"Who are those two?" Tom rubbed his eyes.
"Two neuropaths!" replied Wang gradually as he looked up and took a closer look.
Is it true that you don't have to pay property tax when you buy real estate in the United States?
Can...
Why don't those people move?
Not only did the king gradually doubt this, but the two spiritual Englishmen were also stunned in place.
"The king, the king is out!"
"Where's Walch? Inform your subordinates that the king is not allowed to pick up the airport until he has finished signing!"
This... Are you coming for yourself?
I don't know why, watching everyone run towards him, Wang gradually is very afraid that they will take off their clothes.
The other two Asians looked at Wang Jian and also showed a look of surprise.
"Excuse me, are you two investors from London?" asked a young white man in a suit.
"Yes. They pointed in the direction of Wang Jian, "Who is that person, and why is he so popular with these people?"
"Also, where did the people from the investment group go?"
The young man turned his head and spotted Wozniak's iconic figure.
This... What if these two people invest in the high-tech industry through that Asian American?
"I think it's a martial arts instructor, right? You know, Kongfu is very popular in the United States. ”
Kung Fu, that deceitful thing?
The two Asians pouted, ready to continue asking.
"All right, gentlemen. The young man hurriedly said: "The investment team has gone to Detroit, where the property is very cheap. ”
Real estate is cheap?
The two glanced at each other, no longer caring about Wang Yan, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the airport.
The young man looked at the backs of the two and whistled softly.
"The money of these people who immigrated out of Hong Kong in a hurry is really good. ”
