Chapter 144: London

……

Although London does not experience sub-zero even in winter due to the warm North Atlantic current, the weather of five or six degrees is not too warm. Especially after experiencing the heat of the Maldives and returning here, neither Guo Shouyun nor Molly Bevan had any plans to go out to feel the cold.

Of course, they could go directly to Exeter, but a call from Huaxia forced Guo Shouyun to stay here longer.

At London Heathrow International Airport, at the busy exit, a team of Chinese people who could attract the curious eyes of the people around walked out of it. Looking at the appearance of their suits and leather shoes, it is obvious that they are here on a business trip.

"This is London, it's much warmer than it is at home!"

A slightly chubby young man with black-rimmed glasses looked at him curiously and said in private.

"It also depends on where in the country, and now the temperature in Pengcheng is definitely higher than here!"

The tall, lanky young man next to him, who was also wearing black-rimmed glasses, retorted.

"Mr. Zhang, where are we going next?"

The young man with the most serious expression in the group and the one who looked a little unsmiling spoke.

"Hilton Hotel!BOSS is waiting for you there!" Zhang Lei said.

"Then let's go quickly! the cold wind here doesn't feel good!" said Ding Lei, who spoke at the beginning.

His proposal was well received by everyone, and soon they found two cars outside the airport and entered the city of London.

As one of the largest cities in the world, it also suffers from the same urban disease as other large cities: traffic jams. But fortunately, it was not too serious, but even then it took nearly twenty minutes to reach the destination.

After getting out of the car, after briefly looking at the modern hotel building in front of him, Zhang Lei took out his mobile phone and dialed Guo Shouyun's phone.

"Boss, we're here!"

"That's good. … I have arranged for someone to come down and pick you up. The room is also booked for you. You take them to settle down first, and then you come to my room together. ”

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lei beckoned everyone into the hotel.

Seeing them, a tall white man with a serious expression stepped over.

"May I ask who is Mr. Zhang Lei?"

After a simple glance at the other party, Zhang Lei took half a step forward, "Hello, I am!"

Dahan looked at him again, then stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, my name is Matthew Bloom, the personal bodyguard by the boss's side!"

"Hello, nice to meet you!"

After the two shook hands briefly, Matthew continued: "The boss has arranged a room for you, please come with me! ”

At the same time, the waiters who had been on standby for a long time immediately walked over.

Everyone who is already tired from the journey is naturally happy to have someone to help. So handing over the luggage is also very pleasant. After a few minutes of busyness, a large group of people took the elevator upstairs under the leadership of Matthew.

In order to leave a good impression on the bigwigs in the Chinese Internet industry in the future, Guo Shouyun's accommodation arrangements this time were not sloppy. Although there is no presidential suite, it is also a luxury suite for a few hundred pounds a night.

After personally settling down with everyone, Matthew once again conveyed Guo Shouyun's words, "From China to the UK, you have traveled tens of thousands of kilometers, and the journey is tiring. So, you can choose to rest first and then go to meet the boss. You can also choose to go now!"

After Ma Huateng glanced at each other, they quickly agreed on their opinions.

"We're not tired. Take us to Mr. Guo now!"

"Yes!"

"I had a good night's sleep on the plane, and now I'm not tired, but I'm full of energy. ”

Everyone is a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and his energy and physical strength are at their peak. Moreover, Ma Huateng, Ding Lei, and Zhang Zhidong, who came with Zhang Lei this time, are all veritable workaholics, entrepreneurial elites and idealists. Rather than resting, they are more concerned about the big boss's future plans for Tencent and NetEase.

Matthew quickly swept across their faces and nodded.

"Please come with me!"

Matthew then led them through the hotel corridor to the presidential suite on the top floor. After knocking on the door, he quickly walked in.

"Everyone, please come in!"

As Zhang Lei, who has known Guo Shouyun for a long time, he naturally walked in front. After bypassing the front foyer, a luxurious but solemn living room with a classical English decoration style is presented to everyone.

"Haha, Li Yu, you lost this time!"

Guo Shouyun, who heard the movement behind him, stood up with a smile.

Opposite him, a beautiful woman in a burgundy lady's suit with long hair in a shawl smiled reservedly and said, "It's still the boss's clever plan!"

Guo Shouyun glanced at her with a smile, in fact, he knew it in his heart. The shrewd woman sitting across from him had the same answer in her heart. It's just to curry favor with him, the boss, and deliberately let him. Of course, to some extent, it is not flattering, after all, Huaxia itself has a culture of respecting superiors.

However, this inconsequential matter flashed through his mind. Now the really important thing is to receive Ma Huateng and Ding Lei, after all, Guo Shouyun will still point to them in the future to repeat the success of Tencent and NetEase in their memories.

As he walked towards them, Guo Shouyun's eyes quickly swept over everyone's faces. Looking at the Internet bigwigs who were much younger than in his memory, his mind was in a trance for a moment. It's like a superstar that you can only look up to, and suddenly come to you. He didn't even notice this feeling in Jeff Bezos, but today it suddenly appeared in the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps compared to Jeff Bezos, these people in front of him are more closely related to his life, Guo Shouyun received more information about their entrepreneurial history and life experience in his last life, and he also knows them better. Naturally, it can also bring more shock.

However, in the end, it has gone through nearly a year of shopping mall experience. Guo Shouyun's psychological quality has been decisively improved compared to when he just crossed it. Therefore, after only a moment's pause, it quickly returned to normal.

"Lao Zhang, it's been a hard year!"

Guo Shouyun stepped forward to hug Zhang Lei's body and patted him on the back briefly. And Zhang Lei, who was about to shake hands with him, was stunned by Guo Shouyun's enthusiasm, and quickly patted Guo Shouyun's back with a smile. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the other party's enthusiasm in front of people makes him feel relieved and lightly moved.

After a brief hug, the two quickly let go.

"Boss, I'll introduce you...!"

"No need, I know them all!" Guo Shouyun interrupted him with a smile, walked half a step forward in front of the now 29-year-old 'Little Brother Ma', and stretched out his right hand to him with a smile, "Mr. Ma Huateng, I have been friends with you for a long time!"

Although I don't understand why the other party's tone has an inexplicable complexity, as well as deliberate closeness. Brother Xiaoma, who was not the richest man in China at this time, hurriedly shook Guo Shouyun's outstretched right hand with a hint of respect in his expression.

"You're polite! I have heard about Mr. Guo's deeds in Huaxia, but I didn't expect you to be so young. And, you speak Mandarin so well!"

"Thank you. It's also a loss of my adoptive father's teachings to me!"

After calming down, Guo Shouyun took half a step diagonally and stretched out his right hand again, "Ding Lei, I finally met you in person! Your talent in business is admirable." ”

In terms of business talent, I am far from being as good as Mr. Guo. Your LinkedIn is now Silicon Valley's most watched internet star. ”

After complimenting each other, the two shook hands briefly. However, compared with Ma Huateng who met for the first time, although Guo Shouyun and Ding Lei also met for the first time, the two had communicated by phone many times before. Matrix Games' "Legend" online game is also ready to enter the market under the leadership of NetEase.

"Mr. Zhang Zhidong, it's an honor to meet you. Also, when it comes to computer talent, you're much better than me!"

"You're welcome. In this regard, I am not comparable to Mr. Guo's Stanford master's degree in computer science. ”

After greeting the four of them in turn, Guo Shouyun half-turned around and let Li Yu out of the back.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Ms. Li Yu, a graduate of Huaxia Yenching University and Ohio Paulinger State University Business School. He used to be a senior manager at Fidelity Investments' Boston headquarters and has extensive investment and management experience. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lei's heart moved. Subconsciously focused on looking at the other party again, and it happened that Li Yu also looked at him.

Noticing the expressions on the faces of the two, Guo Shouyun smiled slightly. With Li Yu, plus Ken Halry, who is the CFO of Hanhua. In this way, two China and one ocean are enough to ensure their control over Hanhua, and it will not cause a situation where the tail is too big to fall.

"Lao Zhang, Li Yu will be the president of Hanhua Company in the future. I hope you can cooperate sincerely in the future and bring the company to a higher peak!"

"Definitely!"

"Of course!"

After the two of them finished speaking, they took a few steps into each other and stretched out their right hands towards each other.

"I hope to have a good time working with Ms. Li in the future!"

"In the future, under the same roof, I hope Mr. Zhang will take care of it!"

"Since everyone knows each other, let's sit down and talk!" After beckoning everyone to sit down, Guo Shouyun asked Matthew to bring the drink he had prepared in advance.

"I have the best Wuyi Da Hong Pao here, as well as Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, you can pour whatever you want. Everyone here today is your own people, so you don't have to be polite!"

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun gave Zhang Lei a look. The latter will understand, here he and Guo Shouyun know the earliest and have the closest relationship, so naturally he will take the lead.

"I love coffee, and I've been salivating over the Jamaican Blue Mountains for a long time. Boss, you're welcome!"

"Whatever you want. And if you really like it, I'll give you a can next time you go to the United States!"

"A gentleman's word?"

"It's hard to chase a horse!" Guo Shouyun smiled.
