Sun Tzu said: The victory of the good fighter is also without wisdom and fame, and there is no bravery. Vertices

It means that those who are good at fighting wars win battles, and they have neither superior wisdom nor a reputation for great bravery.

Li Yuan believes that this needs to be preceded by a sentence in the eyes of outsiders.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Yuan easily fooled Li Shilin into a cripple, but the strong thrust behind it is the key to success.

In the movie "", "drama tyrant" Yuan Siye questioned Duan Xiaolou, who played the overlord: "The overlord returned to the camp to appear, and when he met Yu Ji, according to the old rules, it was seven steps, and you only walked five steps, the overlord of Chu has a noble bearing, if he is powerful but not heavy, he will not become a Huang Tianba on the rivers and lakes?"

The devil is in the details.

Li Yuan was able to successfully achieve his goal precisely because he took those two extra steps, and those two steps condensed the hard work of countless people.

……

In the next few days, Li Yuan did not meet with Li Shilin alone, in fact, his task has been successfully completed, the opportunity has been there, and how to expand the breakthrough next, his own professionals are responsible.

It is not accurate to say that Li Yuan has finally calmed down, he still has to stand on the last shift, at least he can't let Li Annie feel his burnout.

……

More than ten days passed like this.

After having dinner with Li Annie, Li Yuan returned to the hotel and found Chen Chen waiting for him.

Not only Chen Chen was there, but Zhao and Shen Zhuyin were waiting for him.

All three looked excited.

"What happened to you?" asked Li Yuan.

"It's coming to fruition. Chen Chen said excitedly: "Li Shilin has decided to return to China next Wednesday. ”

Li Yuan asked, "All the conditions have been agreed?"

"Hmm. ”

"Hoo ......"

Li Yuan's heart that he had been carrying finally let go.

Tricking Li Shilin back to China is only the most basic mission goal, and the real key is the conditions put forward by Li Yuan.

Two conditions, to be exact.

The first condition is that Li Shilin needs to renounce his American citizenship and re-become a Chinese citizen.

The second condition is that he needs to sell his property in the United States.

The change of nationality is intended to avoid possible international disputes in the subsequent trial of him.

And the sale of property, needless to say, is naturally for the purpose of recovering the stolen goods.

……

Chen Chen looked very excited, although Li Shilin had not returned to China yet, but judging from the current situation, there was almost no possibility of an accident.

Chen Chen poured a glass of red wine, handed it to Li Yuan, and said, "Thank you, it's been hard during this time." ”

"I didn't do much. ”

Li Yuan touched her glass and said with a smile: "If you don't mention 'fake public and private' in the report, I will be content." ”

"It's not up to me. But don't worry, the above will not pursue these details. ”

Chen Chen paused for a moment and said, "However, your credit will not be disclosed to the public, and even internally is only known to a few people, I hope you can understand." ”

"That's a good feeling. ”

Li Yuan wished that there was no mention of it.

……

On February 10, 1999, Li Shilin, his relatives, and more than 50 other people, including his relatives, returned to China on a "special plane specially transferred from China by Li Yuan."

Li Yuan did not go with him, and on the bright side, he had to choose from this matter.

At the airport, Anne hugged Li Yuan and cried, which made Li Yuan feel very uncomfortable.

Back in the car waiting outside the airport, the gloom on Li Yuan's face did not escape Chen Chen's eyes.

Chen Chen asked, "What's wrong, you won't really like that girl, will you?"

Li Yuan shook his head.

Then why aren't you happy?" Chen Chen asked again.

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Li Annie should have guessed what would happen after returning to China." ”

Chen Chen was shocked when he heard this: "What did you say?

"Nothing is impossible. Li Yuan sighed: "Girls are very sensitive. ”

"Then why did she ......?"

"Why didn't you tell Li Shilin?" Li Yuan asked rhetorically, shook his head and said, "I don't know why." ”

"Distressed?"

"Honestly, sort of. Li Yuan said: "Maybe she doesn't deserve sympathy, but ...... Even if the perpetrator is a principal offender and an accessory, she seems to me to be just a tool to be used......"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he waited for a while, not waiting for Chen Chen's response. He asked strangely, "You're not going to scold me?"

"What are you scolding?"

"Emotional, don't focus on the overall situation or anything......"

Chen Chen enlightened: "I've actually been waiting for you to intercede for her, to be honest, it's not easy for you to endure until now, at least it proves that you are not a cold-blooded animal." ”

"I'm not going to intercede for her, I know I'm asking for a bit too much, but if possible, can I see her when I get back home?"

"I'll try my best. ”

……

Li Yuan's return date is set for a week later.

In the next few days, Li Yuan, who was trying to get rid of some kind of "guilt", became more and more busy.

He also has a reason to be busy.

Li Shilin's matter is over, and his personal affairs still have a lot to be resolved.

Take, for example, the development of Zuck.

Shirley Sandberg officially resigned from the Treasury Department and joined Li Yuan and Heim's investment company, where she was in charge of the preparation of the software company.

In the past few days, Li Yuan has been either with her or with Mark most of the time, and in the process of software development and operation plan formulation, Li Yuan has seen Shirley's terrifying ability, and when a thousand things come to her hands, she can always be in order as a whole.

……

Li Yuan became busy, and some people's lives became more and more difficult.

Hartman touched his obviously slimmed belly, and looked through the car window at Li Yuan sitting by the window in the luxury restaurant.

There were two girls sitting next to Li Yuan, one was his titular girlfriend Zhao, and the other was Shen Zhuyin.

Across from them, seated were Paris and Nicole.

Hartman complained, "Is this kid a robot? Where did he get all that energy?"

The black man said, "You should say, where did he get so many women? His new girlfriend has just left, and he has found a new love so quickly, tsk, this skill is really convincing." ”

"If you're as rich as he is, you can be willful. ”

……

Hartman was envious of Li Yuan's generous moves, but he didn't know that Li Yuan was purely "eating and drinking with public funds", and he was having a headache for lack of money at this time.

Li Yuan is now facing a difficult choice.

Some time ago, Xu Jiajun made a phone call to him and inadvertently talked about a few former Oracle employees who planned to transfer a set of search engine-related patented technologies in the near future.

This incident aroused Li Yuan's great interest, so he asked Shirley to confirm the authenticity.

Now that things are coming to an eye, those people do plan to transfer technology, even relatively complete solutions, only because Google has gone ahead and they have given up on continuing to develop it in favor of selling it and recovering the money for software development.

Li Yuan can understand these people.

At present, the profit prospects of search engines are very vague, and they are similar to those of Google, which has already started

Competing for an uncertain future is better than investing money and energy in the field of application software that pays off quickly.

All in all, this matter is tantamount to a God-given opportunity for Li Yuan.

If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed.

The problem is, if you want to, you can take the money.

……

Li Yuan's current expenses are not his own, and it is okay to "fake public and private", but if he "embezzles labor funds", the nature will change.

What to do?

Last night, Li Yuan called Feng Wan in China to inquire about the company's situation, and the reply was "nothing can be done".

Although expected, it is still frustrating.

If it is delayed for two years, even if it is a year, Li Yuan will not be as helpless as he is now.

Time is running out, and that's what I'm talking about.

……

Li Yuan had no choice, but he didn't want to give up, so he hit Paris with his idea.

Speaking of which, the irresponsible report of the lace tabloids did not affect the relationship between Li Yuan and Paris much, but Paris's parents obviously did not want their daughter to be caught in this kind of negative news, so for a while, she was restricted from meeting Li Yuan.

Today, it was because of Nicole that Paris's family reluctantly released her.

"If you want me to say, they are making a big fuss, and if the newspaper likes to talk about it, let them say it......"

Paris said angrily, taking off her sunglasses.

Li Yuan reminded her: "Be careful, if you are photographed again, the media will talk nonsense again." ”

Paris said nonchalantly: "The media can't take care of me now, I bet, all the reporters are on the White House now......"

"White House...... White House!"

Li Yuan stood up suddenly, almost knocking the table over.

His sudden move startled several people.

"I'm sorry. ”

Li Yuan apologized to several people, and then called the waiter.

The waiter respectfully asked, "Sir, may I ask you what's the matter?"

"Can you give me a copy of the New York Times?"

"Absolutely. ”

Although he felt strange, the waiter nodded politely, and after a while, he brought a copy of the day's newspaper.

Li Yuan glanced at the news on the front page, casually threw the newspaper on the table, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Zhao asked.

"Let me ask you a question. Li Yuan said to several girls: "If you have the opportunity to make money now, but you need to gamble, what will you do?"

Paris said: "Needless to say, of course it's a gamble." ”

Nicole nodded, agreeing with Paris.

Shen Zhuyin and Zhao did not speak rashly.

They knew that Li Yuan was short of money, but they also knew that he was deeply disgusted with gambling because of his father, so they could also understand the entanglement in his heart.

Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a high probability of winning?"

Li Yuan said: "Almost 100 percent. ”

"Then take a gamble. Zhao said: "Since you are sure that you can win, it is not a gamble." ”

"The problem is the gambling book. Li Yuan said in Chinese: "The risk of doing so is ......."

Zhao stopped talking.

……

Li Yuan thought seriously for a while, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.

He said to Paris: "Paris, I have a chance to make money now, are you interested? By the way, I may need you to lend me a sum of capital, of course, I will pay you back the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

Paris didn't think about it and said, "Yes, but you have to at least tell me what you want to do?"

"I want to ...... Bet on the president. ”
