During the period from Christmas to New Year, Wu Tao's socializing and socializing in the United States was soulless.

Whether it's at a charity banquet in California or at a Trump family gathering in New York State, he is the center and center.

Even Molly, who has always occupied the seat of the female companion, joked sourly that 2005 should be named the Year of Wu in China.

Jokes are jokes, and they can't be taken seriously.

But after all, it also shows from a certain aspect the popularity of Wu Tao in the days of American imperialism.

In fact, not only Wu Tao himself, but also the Tian Yuan Consortium, as well as the allies of the Quantum Fund and the Morgan Consortium, have all benefited a lot.

It wasn't until after New Year's Day that Wu Tao ended his trip around the east and returned to his villa in Irvine, California.

As soon as he entered the door, he was filled with Xiao Xiaotian, who had been waiting here, "Uncle, I saw you on TV, you are really my idol!"

Ouch hey.

Just rushed to this sentence, Wu Tao had to hug Xiao Xiaotian high.

What's more, there are also parents Cheng Xiaoman and Qiu Xiaotian behind.

Xiao Xiaotian was lifted up, and he laughed happily and kept laughing. As a result, before he could put it down, he was scolded by Qiu Xiaotian, who came up, "What is your name uncle! Didn't you teach you to call your brother just now?"

You say, "Who are these people?"

As a result, before Wu Tao could fight back, he listened to Xiao Xiaotian's milky voice and sneered at each other, "Dad, you are so much older than your uncle, but you haven't even been on TV, what qualifications do you have to take advantage of your uncle?"

Qiu Xiao Tiandeng was speechless.

The people around laughed.

Wu Tao hugged the little smile that was about to be put down, and smiled again and raised his second high.

Then he handed it into Cheng Xiaoman's hands and said: "Xiao Xiaotian is so cute, he will definitely be better than his father in the future!"

Cheng Xiaoman did not become complacent, but took advantage of the situation to ask: "When will Mr. Wu give birth to a few, to ensure that one is smarter and cuter than the other." ”

I couldn't answer this, and of course Wu Tao didn't plan to answer it, but he couldn't stand a few fiery glances around him.

So Wu Tao hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, why did you come here today?"

When asked about the official topic, Cheng Xiaoman sensibly gave up the right to speak to her husband, which was enough to save face.

Qiu Xiaotian didn't appreciate it very much, I don't know if the hostility towards his son has not subsided, or if he doesn't care about today's intentions, and said casually: "Isn't this what Xiao Man thought, just after the foreign festival, it will be our own New Year's end soon." ”

"I would like to ask if you are staying for the New Year or if you are planning to go back. If you stay, it's time to prepare for the New Year's goods. ”

Wu Tao calculated that he had now entered the wax moon, less than a month away from the Lunar New Year.

For traditional festivals, those who can go back still have to go back.

It's just that in the next month, there are still a lot of things arranged here, and it's really hard to say whether it can be resolved.

"Let's wait and see, it's not certain yet. ”

After speaking, Wu Tao felt a little discouraged from others, and was about to explain two sentences, but Qiu Xiaotian preemptively said: "Understand and understand, the long vacation will end soon, and my company is very busy." What's more, he's in charge of such a mess. ”

Cheng Xiaoman glanced at her husband, and still said very earnestly: "I'd better prepare first, after all, this place is not as good as China, and it takes time for many things to prepare." ”

Wu Tao no longer shirked, "It's okay, then there will be Sister Laoman." ”

The day after returning to California, Wu Tao encountered the third visit of Huaxia CNOOC.

This time, he didn't shirk it.

It's not because he was blocked, but this time the other party finally brought some brains to talk about things.

Wu Tao looked at the face in front of him, which was much younger than the greasy fat man Dujun, and stretched out his hand.

As a result, the other party decisively clasped his hands and said respectfully: "I have heard the name of Mr. Wu for a long time, and when I see it today, it is better to meet than to be famous." I am a small vice president of CNOOC, Ma Caicai. ”

"Mr. Ma, please take a seat. ”

After speaking, Wu Tao took the lead in sitting down, and directly hung the Dujun and the bewitching girl who also came next to him.

Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh out in her heart.

It's not because she's handsome, but because her boss doesn't look at the bewitching girl next to her at all.

Last time, this woman came over alone, and from head to toe she was in the posture of eating her own boss.

As a result, this time I met with a dead face, but I didn't even have a chance to introduce myself.

The boss's approach is really infuriating.

But fortunately, Liu Ruoxi is not to the point where her personal emotions affect her work and her boss's decision-making.

It's unprofessional.

So she quickly prepared the tea and sat next to her without saying a word, taking care of the record of the meeting.

Wu Tao took a sip of coffee, but he was secretly speculating in his heart.

The name Ma Cai couldn't be more vulgar. And his speech is similar to that of the previous one, which is somewhat detrimental.

However, I didn't expect Ma Cai's opening to be not good at all.

"Mr. Wu, hearing your speech at the charity dinner, Ma was enlightened and inspired. If my guess is correct, Mr. Wu is probably based on the acquisition of Unocal by CNOOC, right?"

It's no wonder that he can achieve the position of vice president.

It seems that Ma Cai still has two brushes.

Wu Tao's eyes lit up, and his momentum also put down a little and said: "Mr. Ma is too worried, my speech at that time was all casual, and it did not reflect the suspicion of your company." ”

Even if the other party has already guessed it, this kind of thing is categorically unadmitted.

But Ma Caicai didn't dwell too much on this issue, but played the emotional card and said: "To be honest, I am not optimistic about this company's overseas acquisition." ”

"It's just a step that needs to be taken sooner or later, and sometimes it doesn't have to be all ready to act. ”

"But even so, I still hope we get off to a good start. is also a Chinese enterprise, and I also ask Mr. Wu to give advice and advice. ”

This attitude made Wu Tao very comfortable.

So even if he is still not optimistic about this acquisition, Wu Tao is still shaken.

After a while, he groaned and knocked on a few sides and said: "Mr. Ma, you are right, we are all enterprises of the Chinese nation, and we are all in the same spirit, so I will tell you my own opinion." ”

"Please speak, please speak!" Ma Cairen had already taken out his notes and put on a record posture.

I listened to Wu Tao say word by word: "Put down your body and travel lightly!"

Before Ma Cai could react, the bewitching girl was even more confused, so the greasy fat man blurted out: "That's it?"

Wu Tao picked up the tea: "It's a little shallow, that's all." ”

Du Jun was about to say more, but was interrupted by Ma Caicai: "What do you know?
