Chapter 316: Discrimination
1. Givenchy had an unexpected surprise when he learned that Gan Jing was about to attend the Oscars.
This is completely beyond their expectations, and their definition of Forrest Gump is more biased towards Asia than such a global stage.
Just as Gan Jing had just checked into the hotel, the luxury brand had already arrived with several sets of dresses.
To be honest, men are never the focus of this kind of formal occasion clothes, and it is those amorous women who walk the red carpet to murder film.
However, the red carpet is one, and the finalists are another.
The shortlisted people, whether they win awards or not, how much they have to be photographed by the camera, not to mention that rare things are expensive, this year's Oscars are just a few yellow skins, Forrest Gump has to show his face no matter how he talks.
Givenchy's attitude was very serious, and after meeting Forrest Gump at the hotel, he began to tailor his clothes again.
Although he has left his physical measurement data before, what if he develops again, shrinks again, and goes to have height enhancement surgery again?
There are no trivial matters in front of the camera, and Givenchy does not allow himself to be negligent.
Gan Jing expressed his resignation to this.
Measure, measure, take off - take off your shoes to measure your naked height.
After intense work, Givenchy's people left as if they had come, leaving only two assistants to assist Forrest Gump in his appearance.
For some reason, the two assistants left behind were of Indian origin.
Gan Jing didn't discriminate, just politely greeted them to "dry this bowl of Ganges water", and then waited for Allen, an executive in his American company.
At half past nine in the evening, Allen, who basically had the carte blanche of Gan Jing, arrived at the hotel.
"Dear boss, long time no see. You're such a good boss. Alan said this as soon as they met.
He was both surprised and grateful for Gan Jing's full delegation of power, such a boss is really ...... Rare.
"Well, there is a kind of praise for a boss like me in our country, which is called shaking the hand shopkeeper. "Come on, report the situation." I've heard that the situation is good. ”
Alan put away his relaxed expression and took out a pile of materials seriously.
Gan Jing looked at his posture of pulling out documents, and felt like he had taken out a gun from his briefcase, and quickly interrupted: "Do you know what it means to be a shopkeeper? You can make an electronic file of these materials and send them to me, now I just need to listen to the results and questions, understand?"
After a moment's hesitation, Alan put the information on the table, glanced at the two black Indians who were still busy in the room, and gestured.
Gan Jingran and said to the two Ah San: "I'm sorry, we have to talk about some business here, you go have some supper first, and it will be recorded directly in my account." ”
The Indians went out happily.
That's when Alan talked about the company.
In general, Uber has developed rapidly, and after experiencing Gan Jing's investment, it has ushered in the optimism of two venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, and the progress of smart phones in 10 years has brought more contacts and optimism.
Uber is an application direction of mobile Internet, and many investors believe that the solution provided by Uber is practical.
That's good news for the company, but it's a mixed bag for Gan.
More investors mean that the stake will be further diluted, and if there is another large-scale investment in the future, then the original minority shareholder is likely to be forced out.
After listening to Allen's introduction to the company's performance and development, Gan Jing asked: "What about the appreciation of my shares?"
Alan paused, didn't answer this, but said: "Forrest Gump, at the moment, Kalanick doesn't seem to have a clear plan to go public. ”
Gan Jing frowned: "What does this mean?"
"This state of affairs means that the company is much less regulated. A high-valuation company can always be a high-valued, but after listing, it must be based on the expectations of the Everbright public.
"Go on. ”
"Also, Kalanick......" Alan said hesitantly, "his attitude towards his employees ......"
Without saying this, Gan Jing looked at Alan with questioning eyes.
Alan exhaled and shook his head.
Gan Jing's mind turned, and his attitude towards employees made Allen such an unspeakable thing in the United States...... Is it racism?
The United States is a nation of immigrants, where all races and colors come together and claim to be free and equal.
But often the louder the slogan is shouted, the more something is missing.
Racial discrimination is a big problem.
But on the bright side, racism is a serious accusation for individuals, and Alan may feel something in his daily contacts, but he can't use his own feelings as a judgment of the company's boss - this is neither rigorous nor professional.
At this moment, Alan didn't know that Forrest Gump, who was sitting opposite, had already turned a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he was infinitely close to the truth he wanted to say.
Gan Jing had such a guess in his heart, but he didn't say it, he just thought for a while and said: "Taxi software is a new thing, and it takes different efforts to develop, and now he shouldn't kick me out." Subsequent financing terms must be stuck and prepared for a rainy day. ”
Alan nodded, waved the document in the air with his right hand, and said, "I have written a lot of questions here." I won't take these things with me today, Forrest Gump, you can take a look. ”
Gan Jing didn't answer, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, but he couldn't grasp what it was.
After a long time, he gave up his thoughts and asked casually, "How is Lisa doing?"
Lisa is the flight attendant who once lived and died with Gan Jing on the airliner, and Allen, a professional manager, is her older brother.
Referring to his sister, Allen's expression was a little subtle, and he said, "She resigned." ”
"Huh?" Gan Jing was surprised, "changed jobs?"
Alan shook his head: "No, she went to study." ”
"How did I think of going to school? Gan Jing asked.
"I'm doing an MBA, about business. Alan stared straight at Gan Jing.
Gan Jing was still laughing, seeing that Allen's gaze had not left, he suddenly frowned and said, "Hey, why is the weather so strange today, it was obviously going to rain when I came, but it turned sunny in the evening." ”
Alan shrugged, got up and said goodbye, "Do you need me to hide my sister from you when you go back to the United States?"
"Hah, clams, :-D. Good idea. Gan Jing nodded, but said again when Alan walked out of the room, "Forget it, she doesn't have to hide when she asks, I will attend the Oscars the day after tomorrow, how can I know the news of me in the United States." ”
Alan nodded, and turned away with a subtle look and expression.
Ha, clams, :-D.
The weather is beautiful today.
Gan Jing closed the door and prepared for the next wave of things - domestic interviews or something shouldn't be so serious, right?
At the very least, it should be easier to chat with one of the acquaintances.
