Chapter 229: Uninvited Guest
Li Xuan raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was only 6 o'clock in the morning, that is, ten o'clock in the evening London time. Albert Hawke was also hard enough, and he didn't leave work at 10 p.m. Of course, the company didn't treat them badly.
According to the equity incentive plan submitted by the management to the board of directors at the beginning of the year, he, the CEO, will receive at least 82,500 shares of the company this year. At the company's current share price, the shares are worth £1.8 million.
In the composition of the salaries of senior executives in European and American companies, long-term equity incentive plans account for more than 50% of the annual income of senior executives. High risk is linked to high returns, and if management can drive the company's performance up, it can achieve a huge return on stock options if it meets certain requirements. The company's stock price will also rise with the improvement of performance, and the more it rises, the higher the actual benefit that the management can get after cashing in the option.
This is tantamount to tying everyone's income to the company's performance, and they can't help but work hard. The same situation also occurs for ordinary employees, high-tech enterprises are one of the few industries in Europe and the United States that implement equity incentives for ordinary employees, so high-tech enterprises are also the few industries in Europe and the United States where overtime is most common.
Otherwise, with the powerful trade union forces of the West, there is no way to work overtime for an extra minute. I've heard of the New York subway workers' strike and the Hollywood writers' strike, but I've never heard of Silicon Valley IT employees saying they want to go on strike to reduce overtime.
"Ah Xuan, it's time to go!" Zhong Chuhong approached her boyfriend and reached out to help the collar of her white shirt, which was a little crooked.
"Let's go!" Li Xuan looked at his fiancée, with a slight powder on his face, wearing a purple small round-neck knitted sweater. The hair is coiled up, revealing a hint of elegant modesty.
Women are always meticulous about how they dress. It took her more than ten minutes to put on makeup just now, but in fact, she will soon be removed by a professional makeup artist later. The two of them got up so early today. It's to go to the top of Victoria Peak to take wedding photos.
In fact, as early as last month, Li Xuan flew to Hawaii with his fiancée to take a set of beautiful wedding photos, and some of these photos have been selected for use on wedding invitations. The wedding team invited by Li Xuan designed the invitation for the two of them to be a beautiful photo album. I chose photos of the two of them growing up all the way since they were born, inadvertently meeting and intersecting to harvest sweet love, and at various important points in the whole process.
This idea sounds a bit like the idea of the diving queen when she got married. But the little girl is estimated to be less than one year old now, and Li Xuan is embarrassed to say to the wedding team that you have stolen other people's ideas thirty years later. Zhong Chuhong liked the design of this invitation very much, so Li Xuan did not object. Invitations that are more like photo albums have already been sent, except for the Chinese version. The team also prepared English invitations for Li Xuan's foreign friends in great detail.
At half past six, Li Xuan and his girlfriend arrived at the square on the top of the Taiping Peak, and the photographer had already chosen the angle and added equipment to wait for the arrival of the two protagonists. Although the two have left countless beautiful photos in the blue sea and blue sky of Hawaii, when they get married in Hong Kong, they always have to take some Hong Kong things.
Victoria Peak is naturally one of the most famous and iconic places in Hong Kong, and it is also the first choice for countless couples to take wedding photos. Li Xuan specially chose to record this special moment in his life in the early morning, against the backdrop of the brilliant morning glow, with the rows of high-rise buildings in the city below the mountain as the background.
Li Xuan's reputation in Hong Kong is not as good as others. So he had to finish taking wedding photos before the number of tourists in Taiping Mountain increased. Li Xuan's costume changed relatively quickly, and the stylist chose a lilac suit for him, and the whole person's temperament added a touch of mystery and nobility.
Zhong Chuhong's costume change is much more troublesome. Li Xuan had already put on her makeup, and she came out of the RV, wearing a white wedding dress with a bandeau and mopping the floor. Revealing a small fragrant shoulder that is as smooth as jade.
At the top of Taiping Peak in the early morning, facing the breeze of Xixi. It's a little cool. The makeup artist was still smearing on Zhong Chuhong's face, and Li Xuan walked into the RV. He brought a coat and put it over his fiancée.
The groom leaned back a little further and rested his left hand on the bride's waist. Yes, that's it, you can lift it up a little bit!Good, now the two of them are gazing at each other affectionately!" The photographer kept directing, pressing the shutter again and again at the most beautiful moment, "The bride's smile just now is verybeautiful!Okay, let's change the next set of actions!"
Zhong Chuhong filmed commercials at the beginning, and later acted in movies, and the camera sense is very good. In contrast, Li Xuan was stiff and needed constant reminders from photographers and stylists. Of course, Li Xuan's identity made everyone not have a trace of impatience, and they could only try their best to let him find a feeling.
"I have to do a massage in the afternoon, and now my whole body is sore, and I am more tired than going to work!" After the photographer called it a day, Li Xuan could finally relax. He went back to the RV and changed back into his previous black suit, after all, the lilac suit on his body was a little too glamorous to wear normally.
Zhong Chuhong looked at her boyfriend deliberately stretching his waist with a slight exaggeration, and couldn't help but glance at him: "It's up to you, a big boss, to go to work and go back at what time, it's naturally easy to be like an emperor!"
Zhong Chuhong's wedding dress is not easy to put on, and it is also troublesome to take it off. Just now, her assistant saw that Li Xuan was already in the RV, so she didn't follow, and now she had to ask her boyfriend for help.
"Why are those tailors so unprofessional, and the custom-made ones are so small, isn't it uncomfortable to strangle?" Li Xuan found the zipper buckle on the back of the wedding dress, but the clothes were a little tight, and they needed to be pulled down a little bit.
"Wedding dresses are like this!" Zhong Chuhong didn't explain too much.
"Well, it looks like the breasts are a little bigger than before, and it seems that the effect of body shaping is very good!" Li Xuan leaned the chin of his head on Zhong Chuhong's white fragrant shoulders and said jokingly.
Zhong Chuhong was a little shy, her breasts were actually not small, but compared to the two proud fat masses on the chest of the other fox spirit, they were naturally much inferior, which made her feel quite depressed.
Li Xuan was like an eggshell, helping his girlfriend take off her wedding dress, revealing her delicate and clear ketone body. Zhong Chuhong did not wear a bra, and only covered the tip with two nipple patches. Li Xuan was playful, reached out and gently removed the nipple patch, and pinched the two pink grapes.
Zhong Chuhong glared at him with disgust, Li Ke slapped away the two troublesome stinky hands, and then quickly dressed up. Li Xuan also made a little joke to add a little fun, now is not the time to do boudoir fun on this occasion.
In addition to the Victoria Peak, the two also had to go to Victoria Harbour to take a set of wedding photos, and Li Xuan's yacht had already docked at the Central Pier and waited. Today, the wind and waves were calm, the waves were very small, and Li Xuan was tossed on the yacht for more than two hours, and finally took a work that the photographer was satisfied with.
"Don't look listless, as if marriage is just my business!" Zhong Chuhong said with some annoyance, but her hands were very gentle massaging her boyfriend's head.
Li Xuan leaned half-lean, the back of his head rested on his fiancée's soft thighs, looking at Zhong Chuhong's expression, he couldn't help but reach out and hold her head and press it down, and soon sent a wet kiss.
If it is only according to Li Xuan's own wishes, the wedding can be simpler, and there is no need to make it too complicated and grand, and he will be tired half to death, but it is obvious that Yiqiē will not develop according to his wishes. Wedding is the most important moment in a woman's life, and he is naturally willing to let Zhong Chuhong leave an unforgettable memory.
And the appearance of some unexpected guests made Li Xuan feel a headache. For example, Mr. George W. Bush, Vice President of the United States, Li Xuan just politely sent an invitation, but he didn't expect that the other party would visit China in early May, so he decided to come to Hong Kong to attend Li Xuan's wedding.
With the arrival of Bush Sr., Li Xuan can also understand that the dollars he sprinkled before are working. The Bush family can be said to be the most glorious family in the United States in the next 30 years, and Li Xuan's public and secret donations to the political government of the elder Bush have already amounted to several million dollars.
In addition, Li Xuan also established a deep personal relationship with the Bush family. For example, Bush Sr.'s eldest son, Walker Bush, who later became President George H.W. Bush, turned to business after losing his election to Congress a few years ago. So Li Xuan simply took out a sum of money and cooperated with him to set up a small venture capital company, mainly investing in new technology companies with potential in Silicon Valley's IT industry.
Bush's fourth son, Marvin Bush, was interested in entering the retail industry after graduating from the University of Virginia, so Li Xuan invited him to serve as a director of Computer Park last year.
Thanks to Li Xuan's hard work in the past two years, his relationship with the Bush family has risen from the initial exchange of interests to the level of friends. For example, when George W. Bush's twin daughters were born last year when they were full moon, Li Xuan received an invitation to watch the baptism ceremony. A child's full moon baptism is a very private event in the West, and only friends and relatives are invited to participate.
Previously, Li Xuan sent an invitation to the Bush family, and Bush Jr. had already called back and would bring the whole family to Hong Kong to attend his wedding. Therefore, the elder Bush suddenly called and said that he had decided to come to Hong Kong to attend his wedding, and Li Xuan was quite surprised.
After all, although the vice president of the United States does not have heavy powers and responsibilities, he often needs to attend various events in place of the president, and the schedule is not easy. Li Xuan originally thought that Bush Jr. would definitely represent the Bush family, after all, it was inconvenient for Bush Sr. to attend a private wedding.
In addition to Bush Sr., there were even more unexpected VIPs who also decided to come to Li Xuan's wedding.
"Second Young Master, President Peng of Xinhua News Agency is already here!" Not long after Li Xuan arrived home, the housekeeper came in and said.
Li Xuan got up and went to the living room, and invited President Peng to his home as a guest today, just for a few uninvited guests who suddenly decided to come to the wedding, and he felt that it was very necessary to communicate with the other party. (To be continued......)
