Bian Xuedao saw Zhu Tiange, on Wutai Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, at that time, because Zhu Haishan had just passed away, the atmosphere was solemn and sad, and he just nodded and shook hands.

This goodbye, the images of both have changed a lot. Bian Xuedao is like an adult eagle, more and more vigorous and tough. Zhu Tiange is like a jade pendant that has been cultivated for many years, becoming more and more mellow and transparent.

After less than three minutes of chatting, Smith arrived.

Brad Smith, now 50, has blonde hair and a standard American look.

After entering the door, Smith first hugged Zhu Tiange, smiling and patting each other's backs like old neighbors who have known each other for many years.

The two separated, Smith first shook hands with Zhu Dezhen with a smile, and finally, he looked at Bian Xuedao and stretched out his hand and said: "Nice-to-meet-you! Like me, I've called a couple of friends in Silicon Valley and told them -- you're missing out on a great idea. ”

The opening statement is just right, and it shows Smith's social skills.

This is not surprising, and to be promoted from the grassroots all the way to the general counsel of Microsoft, Smith's business ability and social skills are not far from the same.

Not only is it not bad, but it is so powerful that it is tough.

It is well known that Microsoft was once embroiled in "antitrust" lawsuits -- in May 1998, the U.S. Department of Justice and 18 states, including the District of Columbia, jointly filed six monopoly charges against Microsoft. The case caused a sensation around the world and was called the "trial of the century" in the scientific and technological community.

Eventually, in September 2001, Microsoft reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and state attorneys general, settling the U.S. government's order to "spin off Microsoft."

In this antitrust "trial of the century", the capable Brad Smith played an important role. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the "antitrust case" that Smith has served as Microsoft's general counsel since 2002 and has become one of the "bigwigs" with important voice within Microsoft.

Compared with Microsoft's internal discourse, Smith's "industry discourse" is particularly eye-catching.

In the U.S. tech community, Smith, who has always maintained a good relationship with the government, has begun to play the role of "ambassador for the tech industry" in recent years.

He is not only the lubricant between science and technology enterprises and the government, but also the glue between science and technology enterprises, and he initiated the organization of the secret alliance of legal advisers in the science and technology industry, the main purpose of which is to advance and retreat together when there is a "common contradiction" with the government, and try to turn hostility into peace when friction occurs between enterprises.

In short, the lawyer from Washington, D.C., has the wisdom and political prowess to discover this himself, so he makes friends in the world of technology and politics, and waits for the right moment.

In the box.

Seeing that Smith mentioned KKI straight to the point, Zhu Tiange interjected with a smile: "I invited you here today just to hear your opinion, so as not to be beaten with the stick of the law." ”

Smith listened, took out a business card holder from the inner pocket of his suit, opened it, took out a business card and handed it to Bian Xuedao, saying, "I co-opened a law firm in Washington, D.C., you go to this person, he will help you solve the problem." ”

He took the business card from Smith's hand, looked at it twice, took out his business card, handed it to Smith, and said politely: "Perhaps-we-will-have-some-business-soon." ”

Business indeed!

Smith's actions indicate that he will not actually come forward to help KKI because of his official position at Microsoft, but he will give advice to Bian Xuedao when necessary, or exert influence behind the scenes.

Of course, there is a fee for opinion and influence, which can be seen from the words used by Smith when referring to the law firm, to put it bluntly, Smith is "taking private work".

However, Bian Xuedao knew in his heart that Smith was not an ordinary lawyer, and if it weren't for Zhu Tiange's face, people might not be willing to take on this private job.

That's the end of business.

Put away the business card, and the show downstairs began.

The first to step onto the slightly shabby-looking and rustic-looking stage was a five-piece group.

The group has two lead singers, one of whom is a lean old white man and one who is a stout middle-aged black woman. After taking the stage, the two first hugged and then stood in front of the microphone with a smile on their faces.

Seeing that Bian Xuedao was not interested in the battle downstairs, Zhu Dezhen picked up Jin Feishi on the round table, took a sip, looked at Bian Xuedao and whispered: "Be patient, there will be big names on the stage in a while, I guarantee you like it." ”

"Big name?" Bian Xuedao turned his head and asked, "Who?"

Putting down the wine glass, Zhu Dezhen said, "Dita-von-Teese." ”

Bian Xuedao listened with a blank face.

Zhu Dezhen added: "The Chinese translation in China is called Tita Vantis. ”

Seeing that Bian Xuedao was still looking at himself, Zhu Dezhen said dryly: "America's No. 1 stripper Liang." ”

Looking at the change in the expression on Bian Xuedao's face, Zhu Dezhen hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "You don't look like you've seen her performance, wait to open your eyes!"

Smith didn't understand Chinese, so he said casually: "I've seen similar performances in other places, this thing is similar, right?"

At this time, the performance on the stage began, and the high-pitched and full voice of the black woman suddenly came, which was quite moving.

Looking at the stage, Zhu Dezhen smiled and shook his head: "It's different." In any industry, there are grassroots, spires, and pinnacles, the most common such as singers and singers, actors and performance artists, writers and famous writers. This Tita Vantis is the spire of the striptease circle, because most of the sexiness of other strippers can only attract the opposite sex, and they will get aesthetically tired after watching it a few times, but Tita Vantis can perform striptease beautifully and with a story, so that women who watch her performance have irrepressible excitement...... Including me. ”

Bian Xuedao nodded and said, "When you say that, I'm a little looking forward to it." ”

On the side, he glanced at Bian Xuedao and Zhu Dezhen, who were communicating warmly, and Zhu Tiange's eyes were deep, like a black hole.

About 1 hour later, the staff came to the stage to set up a performance prop in the shape of a cocktail glass, and Zhu Dezhen, who was sitting next to Bian Xuedao, saw it and whispered sideways: "Retro wine glass dance, we are very eye-catching." ”

Bian Xuedao was about to answer, when there was a warm applause and whistle downstairs, and then he saw a beautiful woman with black hair and red lips and a top hat walking to the center of the stage.

The applause subsided, and Tita Von Tees's performance began.

Soon, even Bian Xuedao, who doesn't know how to dance, can see that this woman on stage is extremely talented in acting, and she must be very hardworking, because her smile, every hand raised, every gesture, and every eye wave are all extremely accurate and sultry.

What's even better is that even though Bian Xuedao already knew that the woman on the stage was here to perform a striptease, the other party had already begun to unbutton, but he couldn't see the feeling of lewd mi from the other party's expression and movements.

Nude but not colorful, glamorous but not lewd, the charm, softness and charm of women are exposed to the extreme, and the vulgarity is made into a beautiful art, which makes people's hearts ripple and makes people's blood flutter, this skill is really powerful!

More than 30 minutes later, Tita Vantis greeted the audience with a flying kiss and left the stage.

Holding the wine glass, Zhu Dezhen asked Bian Xuedao, "How is it?"

Bian Xuedao "tsked" his mouth and said: "There is no superfluous taste except for femininity, and it is indeed the person who eats this bowl of rice." ”

Zhu Dezhen listened, squinted at Bian Xuedao and said, "It just so happens that she is divorced, do you want to get acquainted?"

Bian Xuedao was not annoyed, and said calmly: "If there is no first half of the sentence, it doesn't hurt to get to know it." ”

After about another 20 minutes, a five-piece band took the stage.

To Bian Xuedao's surprise, two or three of the five-piece band seemed to be of Asian descent, and their facial features were significantly different from those of white people.

Unlike when Tita Vantis appeared on the stage, there was no applause or whistle this time, which shows that this group is not the "big name" that Zhu Dezhen said.

The prelude drum beat of the rock style sounded, and the main voice opened up-

- "The cool breeze blew gently into the placket of my clothes, and I couldn't hear the sound in the summer, and the days passed by in a hurry, which made me feel a hundred feelings, and remembered that scene colorful. ”

Hey......

Bian Xuedao sat up straight, listened to two more sentences, turned his head and asked Zhu Dezhen: "Cantonese singing?"

Zhu Dezhen held back a smile and said, "Yes!

Bian Xuedao blinked his eyes and said, "This accent ...... This is how to sing...... ...... here."

Glancing at Zhu Tiange, Zhu Dezhen explained: "The two singers are Asian-European mixed-race, twins, born and raised in Macau, and established a band in 2005. ”

After listening to another paragraph, Bian Xuedao asked Zhu Dezhen: "Do you know what this song is called?

Zhu Dezhen shook her head: "It's not original." The song is called "The Season of the Wind", which belongs to the new compilation of old songs. ”

- "Blow, blow and let this wind blow, wipe away the bright tears in your eyes, blow and blow and let this wind blow, and take away all the sorrows, who is in the wind." ”

stared at the band on the stage for more than 10 seconds, and asked without looking back, "What's the name of this band?"

“soler。 ”

Zhu Dezhen narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "What do you want to do?"

took a breath, Bian Xuedao slowly leaned back on the sofa, and said calmly: "I want to invite them to my variety show...... "The Voice of China". ”

"The Voice of China?"

Zhu Dezhen thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, the father of these two people is Italian, and the mother is Karen from Myanmar, and it seems that they have nothing to do with China. ”

Bian Xuedao picked up the wine glass with a smile, shook it twice and said, "I can guarantee that they will be popular, so if there is an extra Chinese grandfather or grandmother, I think they should be able to accept it." ”
