Looking at the invitation letter sent by Keith, Zhang Chen, who had deduced part of the truth, fell into deep thought.

To put it bluntly, Keith's recommendation to enter the periphery of the Thirteen Knights was also an idle move for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the organization and enhancing the influence of the Thirteen Knights in Huaxia. If he can really grow up in the future, the Thirteen Knights should increase their investment and control over themselves. Until the end, through himself and other chess pieces in China, he completed the control of the Chinese economy.

So what should you do? Say yes or no?

If they do, although the Thirteen Knights have become looser and less able to control their members than they did decades ago, they will still be a big problem. Just a crime of colluding with foreign capital can bring one's reputation in China to the ground.

If you refuse, it shouldn't have any impact in the short term. After all, although he has made some money recently, this money and projects are not in the eyes of the Thirteen Knights, and he is just a small person to them. But after refusing, on the one hand, he would lose an opportunity to have a deeper understanding of the Thirteen Knights, and on the other hand, the huge help that the Thirteen Knights could bring also made Zhang Chen quite excited.

Zhang Chen frowned, thinking about it for a long time, but still couldn't get a solution for both.

If you don't understand, don't think about it first, anyway, I will return to China next month, and it will be impossible for anyone to stare at such a small person as himself at that time. Thinking of this, Zhang Chen was a little relieved.

It's a big deal to go to their conference, officially called the Mordred Economic Forum, and observe it from an outsider's point of view. The forum will be held at the end of August, and after attending, it will be time to return to China.

With a $20 million investment from Sequoia, ICQ expanded rapidly, and Sequoia not only poached George Hart, the CFO of Amex, with a high salary, but also helped ICQ build its own marketing team.

ICQ's technical team has recruited more than a dozen employees and divided them into different working groups, following the part-time additions of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two future bigwigs. Finally got rid of the situation of the grass platform team and began to approach a regular IT company.

After receiving $2.4 million in Tinder Capital, Pyrrhiza was appointed to ICQ's board of directors and secured a seat as an independent director. Zhang Chen told Su Zhuorui not to say less and listen more, and not to express any opinions on the company's operation, but to tell himself immediately about any financing information.

Zhang Chen didn't know that Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who he had been thinking about, were working hard as coders at ICQ, and he had only been there once since Viggs and others arrived in the United States.

Zhang Chen is still on the line at two o'clock every day, going back to Tang Miaomiao's villa on Saturdays and Sundays to get tired of Tang Miaomiao. Zhang Chen was naturally horny, but he really wanted to do something, but Tang Miaomiao resolutely refused, blushing and saying that he would have to wait for two years, and if it was too early, it would not be good for Zhang Chen's health.

Zhang Chen was speechless, the ancients had children in sixteen, and modern people are too ignorant.

At school, I occasionally have a meal with Natalie or something, talk about it, and I'm not lonely. Natalie Portman's intelligence still surprised Zhang Chen, her grades in her freshman year of high school were all A's, and in the first half of this year, she also participated in the Intel Science Competition, known as the Little Nobel Prize, and entered the semifinals of the chemistry project.

The two talked about the most humanities topics. Natalie, who is Jewish, taught herself Hebrew since she was a child, and at the same time can speak French fluently, which also makes Zhang Chen ashamed.

The two often eat in the school's kosher cafeteria, Natalie tore off a small piece of pita bread, dipped it in some humus sauce, and said apologetically to Zhang Chen: "Zack, you can actually eat meat, it's okay." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "It's not bad to eat vegetarian once in a while, and the food here is delicious." This pita bread looks like a pizza base. ”

Natalie blinked, "The etymology of the word pizza is Pitta, which in turn is a root word in the Semitic family. ”

Zhang Chen shook his head and said: "Eating with Xueba is stressful, and even scones can tell a sense of history." ”

When Natalie is not smiling, it gives people a sense of rejecting people from thousands of miles away, but when she laughs, she is a lot more approachable. "Haha, you're sarcastic about me again. By the way, I have two tickets for Friends here, would you be interested in going and checking them out?"

Zhang Chen said strangely: "Tickets for Friends? Isn't this a TV series?

Natalie explains: "Yes, it's a sitcom, so it's recorded in a theater studio, and some audience members are invited to watch the recording process live, just like a stage play, and by the way, collect live laughter from the audience. ”

Zhang Chenqi said: "Is there an audience at the shooting site? I really don't know this, and I thought those laughter were added later." ”

Natalie said with a smile: "After last year, Friends is very popular, and the episode that is being filmed now is the first season of this season, and it will be broadcast next month, so the tickets are very tight, and I finally got it, do I want to go?"

Zhang Chenxi said: "Okay." It's great, I love Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston, Friends is such a classic, of course I have to go to see it live, it's a lifetime memory. ”

Natalie wondered: "Classics? It's only been two seasons, and the ratings are good, but there may still be a little bit of a gap from the classics." ”

Zhang Chen laughed twice and said that he had leaked his mouth, "Uh, I mean that this drama has the possibility of being called a classic, and there are many comedy scenes in it that are groundbreaking." ”

Speaking of drama, Natalie's eyes lit up, and she talked to Zhang Chen endlessly about the tragic core of comedy works and other professional content.

Zhang Chen screamed in his heart, he was just habitually pretending, how could there be any real thing in his stomach in this regard?

The two agreed to go to Los Angeles on Wednesday, August 7, to watch the live recording of Friends together. Zhang Chen still couldn't hold back, he couldn't eat enough just to be vegetarian, so he asked for a pitta sandwich beef, that is, kosher meat sandwich buns, to barely fill his stomach.

After saying goodbye to Natalie, Zhang Chen rode his bicycle back to the dormitory, Shanatanu didn't know what he was busy with lately, and he didn't come back until midnight every day. When Zhang Chen returned to the dormitory today, he was the only one again.

Zhang Chen took out the computer and connected to the Internet, and an email automatically popped up on the email client, "Zack, are you interested in chatting?" ”
