Chapter 448: The Big Guy in the Tech Circle
The auction lasted for more than three hours, and ended at half past ten in the evening, mainly because there were not many auction items, mainly Chinese modern paintings and calligraphy, which were not very popular with these white people in the United States, but they just felt novel, if it was a Van Goa Vinci oil painting, it was almost the same.
It can be seen that the perception of beauty in the East and the West is different, but Dong Shanhe has no ability to make people all over the world accept the three views of Huaxia, unless Huaxia becomes the boss of the world.
The highest auction item tonight is a painting by Mr. Zhang Daqian, which was successfully auctioned to 5 million US dollars, plus a 12% commission, which is 6.6 million US dollars, and in exchange for RMB, it is 40 million, this price is not very high, much less than Mr. Huang Zhou's hundreds of millions of little donkeys, but Dong Shanhe can do nothing, who let this be an auction in the United States, if it is in China, how can it be said that it can exceed half a billion.
And the people of the United States originally wanted to hack the Chinese people, but the Chinese people are also smart, since they have been hacked so many times, there are not so many impulsive auctions, not to mention the so-called national and patriotic feelings mixed in, more than 100 auction cultural relics and more than a dozen paintings and calligraphy have been auctioned, which has also caused a very embarrassing thing.
However, it has nothing to do with Dong Shanhe, Dong Shanhe sat quietly in the auction hall for more than three hours, did not go anywhere, and did not raise a single auction.
"Smith, you wait a minute, I'll go and say a few words to the others. Dong Shanhe said to Smith, and then hurriedly walked to Ma Lao's side.
"Ma Lao, congratulations. Dong Shanhe came up with a burst of congratulations.
"I have nothing to congratulate, but I just snatched a piece of calligraphy and painting from a foreigner. Ma Lao sighed and said with great emotion.
This year, the British Museum made a brief history of 100 cultural relics to be exhibited in China, Ma Lao looked around, but he could only be heartbroken, such a good national treasure has become a thing of others, and his own people can only go to foreign countries to see if they want to see it, and they may not be able to see it.
"It's nice to get two things, so that's why I'm here to congratulate you. Dong Shanhe originally wanted to talk to Ma Lao about some of the cultural relics in his hands, but after thinking about it, now is not a good time and a good place, so he dispelled his thoughts, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.
"Ma Lao, I still have some things over there, I won't accompany you for a while, and I will accompany you to go shopping tomorrow when I have time. Dong Shanhe said to Ma Lao.
"I'll go back tomorrow, I'm going to rest and rest, I've been busy for the past two days, I haven't had any rest at all, I'm sixty years old, how can I have the same energy as a young man like you. Ma Lao said with a smile.
"Where is it, Ma Lao, you are in good spirits, you don't look old at all, every time I watch your video, I feel that your life is very comfortable. Dong Shanhe inadvertently praised two sentences.
"It's all in front of the camera, if you don't pretend to be better, then how can it be done, I'll talk to a few good guys in a while and go back to rest, if you have something to do, go first." Ma Lao saw Smith, who had been sitting with Dong Shanhe, come over and said to him.
"Ma Lao, I also have a few things in my hand, when I have time to go back to Huaxia, I will let you see it at that time. Dong Shanhe thought about it and decided to say it first, to give Ma Lao a psychological preparation.
"Okay, come to me when you have time. Ma Lao said with a smile.
After a day and a half of acquaintance, Ma Lao also gave Du Hao a copy of his business card, which was his private number.
"Boss, the guests over there are ready, are we going over?" Smith walked over to Dong Shanhe and asked Dong Shanhe.
In Smith's opinion, what is there to say to an old man, those big guys are waiting for him, Smith just learned that there are more than a dozen people, and they are all big guys, if you stomp your feet, the entire technology circle will tremble.
"Xiao Dong, if you're busy, go ahead. As soon as Ma Lao saw the situation, he knew that Dong Shanhe's side was really in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have intervened directly.
"Okay, goodbye Ma Lao. Dong Shanhe and Ma Lao waved their hands, and then followed Smith inside.
"Little boy, what's your name?" Just as Dong Shanhe followed Smith inside, suddenly Lavigny ran over.
"Lavignie, I still have some things to do, I'm sorry I can't accompany you, this is my business card, we'll get in touch when we have time. Dong Shanhe took out a business card and handed it to Lavigny.
"Alright then, we'll get back to you when we have time. Lavigni whispered, and then took Dong Shanhe's business card and put it in his kun bag.
"Boss, you're so good that you can hook up with a little wild cat. After walking some distance, Smith said to Dong Shanhe.
"you, what do you mean for me to hook up, it's because I'm so charming, and she took the initiative to come. Dong Shanhe's heart is still very happy, his charm can attract his favorite female singer back then, how can he not be embarrassed in his heart.
"Okay, boss, let's go in. Coming to a remote room, Smith said to Dong Shanhe.
After saying that, Smith looked at the door of the room, only to hear a word come in from inside, and Smith pushed the door open.
"Hello guys, our president and president have come over. Smith said very politely and even in a low voice.
Dong Shanhe waited until Smith walked to the side and saw that the room was not very big, two huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights were brilliant outside, and there were more than a dozen people sitting on the sofa, Dong Shanhe didn't know him for a while.
These people didn't look at Dong Shanhe in the slightest, and after stopping talking, they just looked at Dong Shanhe directly, and then continued to talk with their heads down.
"Dong, welcome. Just when Dong Shanhe was at a loss, Elon Musk came to Dong Shanhe's side and hugged him.
Elon Musk is the boss of Tesla and the only person Dong Shanhe knows in Silicon Valley.
"Elon, you're okay too. Dong Shanhe and Elon Musk hugged tightly.
"Dong, we also want to meet you, I am the youngest and the youngest in net worth, so I will introduce you to these big guys. Elon Musk lowered his arms and said in a low voice with Dong Shanhe.
"Thank you, Elon. Dong Shanhe expressed his gratitude to Elon Musk.
"Dong, this middle-aged man with glasses is Atle Levinson, who is the chairman of Apple. Elon Musk first introduced Dong Shanhe.
Dong Shanhe hurriedly shook hands with him after hearing this, this is the big guy, Apple, the world's most valuable technology company, famous all over the world, and Atlevinson is not arrogant, after standing up, he has a somewhat gentle appearance, and Dong Shanhe simply shook hands and said welcome.
"Dong, this big guy is Zuckerberg, I think you should have heard of his name. Elon Musk continued.
Isn't this nonsense, Dong Shanhe has never heard of Zuckerberg? Dong Shanhe, a famous company like Facebook, still doesn't know that this is also a big guy.
Zuckerberg is very young, younger than Elon Musk, but her status is still relatively high, just like the twist vine in China, who made him have so many users all over the world.
If you add users in Huaxia, it really has users around the world, so there is a firewall in Huaxia, and Facebook can't turn over the wall.
"Hello, hello. Dong Shanhe shook hands with Zuckerberg, who was wearing jeans.
But Zuckerberg is very interested in Dong Shanhe, who makes the guy in front of him smaller than himself, and can still make so many people interested, Zuckerberg still doesn't know why those old guys are so interested in Dong Shanhe, he was just called over, and he didn't know the inside story.
"Dong, these three, you must have heard of them, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt, the three of them are the three elders of Google. Dong Shanhe really wanted to give Elon Musk a punch after hearing this, this is also nonsense, how could he not know these three guys, the famous Google three elders.
Compared with Apple, Dong Shanhe prefers Google, an innovative company, to Microsoft, because he is a die-hard fan of Android.
"What are so many bigwigs doing here today?" Dong Shanhe thought in his heart as he shook hands with the three elders of Google.
"Dong, this is Larry Ellison. When Elon Musk wanted to continue to introduce him, Larry Ellison suddenly stood up, "You are the president of Galaxy Agriculture?" Larry Ellison asked Dong Shanhe.
This sentence is not a look of contempt, but a very curious look, as if Dong Shanhe in front of him is a very interesting toy.
"I'm Dong, you're Mr. Larry Ellison, the president of Oracle, I've heard about you back then, and I like you very much. This kind of bohemian and unruly personality has offended many people, and there are many fans, and they are all die-hard fans, but they are not his fans, but they just admire his adventurous spirit.
"Young man, I'm also very interested in you, and I'll talk about it later. Larry Ellison and Dong Shanhe said another word and sat down, and there was no one around him, which shows that his popularity is really as bad as rumored.
"Dong, this gentleman is John Chambers, and he is the president and CEO of Cisco. "Dong Shanhe doesn't know much about Cisco, he only knows that he was a very powerful communications company back then, but now he doesn't know, and now it's easy to say that he only knows Huawei and Qualcomm.
In fact, Dong Shanhe didn't know Cisco's position in communication services, and Qualcomm was only a latecomer, and it also focused on mobile phone communication.
"Hello, hello. "No matter who it is, it's a big guy, Dong Shanhe can't slack off, continue to shake hands.
John Chambers was also reserved, shook hands with Dong Shanhe, and sat down again.
"Dong, the next three are not our Google company, they also came here after learning about us, if you are not interested, I will not introduce them. Elon Musk walked over to the other three who were sitting next to him and said.
Don't mind, Dong Shanhe doesn't care if they are from Google or not, how can they be unknown if they can come here, if they say that they are not interested, what if they offend others in the future.
Dong Shanhe can see that all the bigwigs who can come here are bigwigs in the science and technology circle, and it's not a good thing to offend anyone, so Dong Shanhe can only say to Elon Musk, "Elon, you should continue to introduce, I also want to know these three bigwigs." Dong Shanhe and Elon Musk said.
"Elon, I knew your idea wasn't going to work. Elon Musk said to him with a bald head on the other side.
"Hehe, Dong, I'll introduce you to this bald guy next. Elon Musk pointed to the bald head and introduced it to Dong Shanhe.
"This bald head is called Jeff Bezos, and his company you may have heard of is called Amazon, which is an e-commerce company like your Alibaba in China. Dong Shanhe didn't expect that Jeff Bezos would be the president and founder of Amazon, let alone that she would be bald, is this extremely smart?
"Dong, hello, don't listen to Elon Musk's nonsense, although the three of us are not from Google, but we just couldn't be in Silicon Valley back then, it's not that we can't come here to start a company, these two people around me are from universities here in California, this one is a Stanford graduate, if you want to stay in Silicon Valley, it's a simple thing, although this one is not a Stanford graduate, but he graduated from Berkeley, Berkeley School is here in San Francisco, if you stay in Silicon Valley, it's easy. The bald head explained to Dong Shanhe.
Although Dong Shanhe didn't understand, it didn't prevent him from nodding and pretending to understand.
There is still a gap between Dong Shanhe's fourth-level English and the local bosses in the United States.
"Dong, don't listen to his nonsense, it's possible for the other two to stay in Silicon Valley, but it's impossible for him, he graduated from Princeton University, and that's in the East End. Elon Musk mercilessly debunked Jeff Bezos' words.
made the bald head smile and sat down, and could only let Elon Musk continue to introduce him.
"This big guy is the Stanford graduate that Jeff said just now, but he is also a high-status big guy in our circle, I think in addition to Bill, who didn't come, there is another person with the same name as him who can overpower him. ”
"Nice to meet you. The reason why Dong Shanhe knows him is precisely because Steve Ballmer is the owner of the Clippers, and he wants to have a good relationship with him, and if possible, when he has money in the future, he can buy the Clippers from him.
However, when he thought that the Clippers were so valuable, Dong Shanhe could only sigh, when would he be able to mix up three billion dollars in pocket money?
"Dong, the last one is neither from Silicon Valley nor Seattle, but he's also from our California, and he's from San Diego, the southernmost part of California. "Could it be the San Diego Kinkela Company?
Mr. Paul Jacob, Chairman and CEO of Qualcomm Inc. Elon Musk introduced all the bigwigs in this circle to Dong Shanhe.
After the introduction, Dong Shanhe knew that business was coming soon.
