Fiction is real, reality is virtual.

This is the conglomerate plan agreed upon by Wu Tao after repeated thinking and even discussing with An Dingguo.

It's just that now it seems that some shortcomings have been exposed.

For example, in the area of senior management of various companies, the turnover and deployment of personnel are a little poor.

But Wu Tao did not regret his decision.

It's a big deal, the integration, secondment and training of high-level talents are still carried out in a centralized way.

Ten o'clock.

In the downstairs reception room, I met Peter Thiel from afar.

From the information handed over by Sun Yanyan, Wu Tao knew that the brown-haired man in front of him, who was not good-looking, had many prominent titles.

This guy is not only a billionaire, but also a chess grandmaster, a practicing lawyer at a top New York law firm, and the founder of two Silicon Valley technology companies.

In addition, he has multiple identities as a hedge fund manager, a derivatives trader, a best-selling author, a teacher at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, a public speaker, and a Silicon Valley thinker.

He even holds the title of star venture capitalist.

It's just that in front of Huaxia Wu's aura, the aura of this title seems a little overcolored.

"Hey, Peter, can I call you Peter?" Wu Tao spoke fluent American English and took the initiative to say hello familiarly.

Perhaps due to the influence of the international atmosphere of China Shipping, Wu Tao's English usage rate has greatly increased in the past month.

Peter Thiel, who was wearing a three-seven hairstyle, was slightly stunned, not knowing whether he was shocked by Huaxia Wu's youthfulness or surprised by Huaxia Wu's approachability.

"Of course, respected Huaxia Wu, I came this time, with a pious attitude, and look forward to a long-term and stable cooperation with your group. ”

After the two shook hands, they sat down one after another.

Wu Tao responded: "I am also looking forward to the international cooperation between us, but this is not in a hurry, let's talk slowly." ”

Peter's expression suddenly became solemn, "You're right, Huaxia Wu." There are many details to talk about in the area of online payment, because it involves various aspects such as law, economy and people's daily life habits. ”

"In fact, in this regard, we have always adhered to the ...... PayPal as the leading online payment service in Silicon Valley and in the world."

Peter gushes as soon as he opens his mouth, which seems to be one of the necessary auras to be a successful founder.

And as a top student of Stanford Law, this guy is talking about his experience and interesting facts about fighting wits and courage with federal law as soon as he opens his mouth.

While establishing his own majestic image, he also has a sense of humor.

It's just that for the sense of humor, Wu Tao said that he laughed it. As for the importance of the legal aspect, and the so-called experience, he almost went in the left ear and out the right ear.

After all, the environment is different, and these references themselves are not of great value.

The negotiations have progressed in depth.

The two sides talked almost endlessly for more than an hour, but they were still full of interest and the atmosphere was strong.

It seems that it is very possible to achieve a cooperation, or even a huge cooperation.

It wasn't until an hour and a half later that Wu Tao decisively stopped the topic and set the tone for the cooperation between the two sides, but did not respond to the three prerequisites for cooperation put forward by Peter.

As the secretary who followed the whole process on the spot, Sun Yanyan frowned slightly after completing the meeting minutes.

This time, the result seems to be progressive, but there seems to be something wrong.

Ending the meeting at least half an hour earlier is not in line with your own boss's style.

After the meeting, Peter's itinerary was naturally arranged and contacted.

Wu Tao had already hurried on the return journey and rushed to Jinling.

It's been a month since I left at once, and when I suddenly went back, I really felt like an arrow.

This feeling is completely different from the previous mood of sneaking to Zhonghai on a business trip for ten days and half a month.

On the Bentley business car that had just been equipped, after dealing with lunch, Wu Tao began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Sun Yanyan quietly cleaned up all this, flipped through the next itinerary, and finally held her chin and pondered there in a daze.

pondered so much that Wu Tao didn't even react when he opened his eyes.

Wu Tao pursed his lips, looked at the follower secretary in front of him, and suddenly missed Liu Ruoxi a little.

Although Sun Yanyan has been trying hard to imitate Liu Ruoxi, she always feels that something is missing in addition to being thoughtful in all aspects.

It's like the same cup of coffee, even if Sun Yanyan uses a balance, a measuring cup and a thermometer, it still tastes a little less delicious.

Fortunately, Wu Tao did not force this.

Anyway, Liu Ruoxi is on the road of pursuing a better self, and he has no reason or need to stop it.

With a light cough, Sun Yanyan came back to her senses, and immediately reacted and said, "Boss, do you want to drink water or have a cup of coffee?"

"Get me a bottle of Yuanyasu. ”

Taking a sip of pure water, Wu Tao's throat was much clearer.

Sun Yanyan mustered up the courage for a long time, and then dared to ask the question: "Boss, I want to ask you, what is your attitude towards cooperation with PayPal?"

"What?" Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, "Peter's people have found you to inquire?"

"No, no!" Sun Yanyan waved her hand again and again, "This is a trade secret, and as a secretary, I still have this professional ethics." I just pondered it myself, and I really didn't understand it, so I asked you for advice. ”

Wu Tao snorted and didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Sun Yanyan said tentatively: "I always feel that you are still optimistic about the cooperation between the two sides. But ......"

"The child can be taught. "Wu Tao gave this evaluation, not for the first sentence Sun Yanyan said, but for the short two words 'but' at the back.

"It is true that our cooperation with PayPal is a certainty, but through today's contact, I find that the scope and depth of cooperation may not be as optimistic and pleasant as before. ”

Sun Yanyan pondered and asked, "Is that because of so many problems faced by online payments that Peter raised? As far as I know, that is real." ”

"I know. Wu Tao did not deny it, "But this is probably the only content we can cooperate with the other party, and even from the perspective of online payment technology and deployment, SkyScape's accumulation over the years is already enough." ”

"The reason why I would consider cooperating with the other party is nothing more than the docking and promotion of Lotus and Honor mobile payment overseas, as well as the expansion of payment channels of Tianxing Games. ”

"In addition, the focus of our online payment business is still in China. And in this respect, the dilemmas and problems that Peter spoke of are not really big problems......"

Hearing what she said, Sun Yanyan was shocked.

Dare to love Peter, that foreigner, performed for so long, and in the end, he didn't fool his boss at all!
