The board of directors will meet for two days, and after the first day, they are all people from China, and there is no foreigner, so they naturally have to eat and drink according to the customs of the Chinese people.

Even Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang, who don't drink much, both of them drank a lot.

Drinking, no matter what status a person is, it's the same if he drinks too much. Lu Hongliang blushed and hugged Zhang Chen with his tongue and called his brother, making Zhang Chen laugh.

Zhang Chen naturally recognized the character of Wu Ying and Lu Hongliang, on the one hand, the two of them are well-known and time-tested, and they are both praised characters in later generations.

Don't look at the laughter and scolding between Wu Ying and Zhang Chenlu Hongliang now, there is no fight, this is the status of several parties now, and even Wu Ying is faintly the lowest position among them.

But Wu Ying is a well-deserved boss in later generations, even if Starcom is finished, his status in the rivers and lakes has not been affected in the slightest.

In later generations, there was constant discord between the "two horses", and when encountering contradictions that were difficult to resolve on both sides, the only peacemaker who could settle the contradictions between the two was Wu Ying.

You must know that the peacemaker between these two people is not something that anyone can do, they must be strong, and they must have a certain status and reputation in the circle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are highly respected.

As for Lu Hongliang, it is even more incredible, Lu Hongliang's character is not only the friends who have been with him, but even the employees of Starcom have praised him.

This kind of praise is different from the joy and sincerity of Warwick employees who worship Ren Zhengfei as a god, but agrees from the heart: Lao Lu is a capable person and a good person.

For example, from its inception to its decline, even in 2015, when PHS had been delisted, Lu Hongliang did his best to give employees the best treatment.

From the perspective of company operations, Lu Hongliang may not be a shrewd manager, but he is a friend who can make everyone friends.

For Zhang Chen, Lu Hongliang's management level is not the most important thing, the important thing is that there is such a person on the board of directors, even if he is on the opposite side of you, you can treat him as a comrade-in-arms and give him your back.

Take SoftBank's desire to buy shares this time, Lu Hongliang is the chairman, although Zhang Chen is the major shareholder, but the votes of the founding team of Starcom on the board of directors are the absolute majority, and it can be forcibly passed.

But Lu Hongliang still insisted on communicating with Zhang Chen, and after reaching an agreement, he negotiated with Sun Zhengyi, which can be described as upright.

Therefore, Zhang Chen didn't care about himself, and promised Lu Hongliang that he would discuss the sale of shares with McGovern.

McGovern was already very worried about the investment of 50 million, and if McGovern agreed to sell to SoftBank and make the $25 million, Zhang Chen would not stop him.

Moreover, Zhang Chen also reminded Lu Hongliang and Wu Ying that if they sell their shares, be careful and regret it.

As for whether they listened or not, Zhang Chen didn't want to interfere.

After all, SoftBank's shareholding is also a good thing for Tinder.

Zhang Chen also drank a little, but not too much, after all, in the United States, it is illegal to drink under the age of 21, and others did not dare to persuade them.

A few people did not drink liquor, but drank Louis XIII for more than 50 years, and this era was the most serious time for worshipping foreign countries, even if these people had the experience of living abroad, it was no exception.

When Frank drove Zhang Chen home, Zhang Chen was also a little excited due to the influence of alcohol, so he made a call to Lin Xiaoxia and Tang Miaomiao in the car, and then thought about it and dialed Natalie.

Natalie was quite happy to receive Zhang Chen's call, after all, Zhang Chen rarely took the initiative to call her, and the two are now more accustomed to communicating on ICQ.

Speaking of ICQ, Zhang Chen doesn't understand what Steve Keys thinks, or this guy is really not the material for making products, ICQ has been launched to version 2.35, and the simple message function in the past has not been perfected until now.

ICQ can only store offline messages on the server for 24 hours, beyond which you can only see that the other party has sent you a message, but you can't see the content at all.

It's no wonder that ICQ can't handle MSN in the United States, even if the Case family has a big business, it is impossible to do a piece of software by themselves. But AOL has this level of management, and it is a ghost if it can get by.

After Zhang Chen got out of the car, he just wanted to open the door, and Thomas Maha, the security team leader who was secretly protecting him, appeared in front of him with a serious face.

"Something?" Zhang Chen was quite strange, Thomas knew that he was not used to following a group of people around him, so he rarely took the initiative to appear in front of him.

"Sir, there is something I must report to you. Thomas's face was solemn.

Zhang Chen took out the key: "Come in and say." ”

Thomas stopped Zhang Chen's hand that was about to open the door: "No, it's better here." ”

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, and also put away his smile, "What's the matter?"

Thomas said in a deep voice: "Today we were escorting you on the way to Los Artus, and we found a car following your car, at first we thought it was just an accident, but we also raised the level of vigilance against this car. We found that the owner of the car changed three times a day during your meeting, and although the place where he parked was different each time, you could see if you had left from where he parked. ”

Zhang Chen's face gradually became solemn.

Thomas continued: "On the way back today, this man appeared in a second car, which was far away from your car, but the route was almost the same, and we have reason to believe that someone is following you. ”

Zhang Chen asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's really tracking?"

Thomas nodded firmly: "I have served in the Mossad Action Team for more than eight years, and I can be sure that it is a tracker, and the tracker has received a considerable degree of professional training, and the tracking skills are completely textbook, but because of this, we can determine that the other party should have an official background." ”

Zhang Chen frowned: "Is it official?"

Thomas shook his head: "I mean the official background, but not necessarily the official. There are a large number of agents in the United States who retire to work in the private detective industry, and some of them join criminal organizations, which is very complicated. ”

Zhang Chen asked: "Can you find out the specific information of the stalker?"

Thomas shook his head: "In the United States, we can only get information from official channels for the time being, we can check it, but since the other party is so professional, it is unlikely that we can find it." Today I have asked my colleagues in the information group to check the information of the three cars, and the owners are not the same, so it is of little significance to continue to check the information of the cars. ”

Zhang Chen pondered, "What is your suggestion?"

Thomas said solemnly: "I recommend that you immediately increase your security level, at least two people to protect you, and add two security teams for your family and friends, so that the danger can be minimized." ”

Zhang Chen thought for a while: "How far are you usually from me?"

Thomas replied honestly: "There are usually four people in our protection team who are with you for a long time, and the remaining two are support groups, and we require that at least one person be within ten meters of you in public." ”

Zhang Chen was surprised: "So close? I have never found it." ”

Thomas smiled: "That's our expertise, sir, you know, you're the boss of Benital now, and if you don't send the most elite staff to protect you, you might get your wages deducted." "Thomas made a rare joke that wasn't funny.

"And our most elite members are the elite of the Mossad, and in this regard, there are not many security companies in the world that can do that. At this, Thomas's tone was full of pride.

Zhang Chen patted Thomas on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, although you didn't say it, I can feel that you must have put a lot of effort into doing this." However, you don't need to protect me personally, just keep it in the current state. ”

Thomas said hurriedly: "Sir!"

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Since the other party is just following now, and you say that it may be an official person, don't startle the snake, let's see who is fighting what idea." ”

Thomas looked serious: "Sir, our mission is to protect your absolute safety, and now there are red flags, according to the regulations, your security level must be increased." ”

Zhang Chen nodded: "You're right, let's do it, send a group of people on the periphery, and those with strong concealment and reconnaissance capabilities should not be discovered by the other party." It's important to also see if there are anyone else in the shadows. ”

Thomas understood what Zhang Chen was thinking, but in fact, he didn't think that the situation was so dangerous in his heart, and from the current point of view, the other party had no intention of attacking. In his experience, the other party is the most likely to be a commercial spy, but as Zhang Chen's security team leader, he naturally wants to say that one point of danger is ten points in front of Zhang Chen, and exaggerates his three points of concern to one percent.

Even if you are a security guard, you are still in a mixed workplace, and if you don't please your boss, isn't it looking for death.

Thomas said solemnly, "Okay, I see, but please be careful. By the way, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to conduct a full inspection of your home and company to check for any bugging devices or other equipment to make sure that all the information is not leaked. ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "No, if you really find it, keep it, don't startle the snake, but reasonable control is required, and it is best to catch the current one." ”

Thomas laughs, "You look excited. ”

Zhang Chen laughed: "When Simba catches mice and birds, he never bites each other to death, and when he gets tired of playing, the mice are already dying." ”

Thomas laughed twice.

"Mouse, who is it?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
