Chapter 741: Poor

The United States is a big fast food country, and it is not easy to find a serious restaurant in an ordinary small town, but you don't need to find a fast food restaurant. They can be found in almost every place where people may be staying, such as gas stations, stations, airports, squares, and the first thing you will see is a variety of fast food restaurants and fast food trucks. Hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, bagels, pizzas, Chinese bentos, Mexican dim sum are the most common, as well as Japanese, Southern, Greek, Thai, French fries, fried chicken, etc., so you won't be hungry. And there's another benefit to eating at a fast food restaurant, which is that you don't have to tip!

But if you don't have a lot of money, it's best not to eat Chinese food, and out of all these fast foods, Chinese box lunches are the most expensive. The cheapest Chinese food costs 3 yuan a piece, and the expensive ones cost 7 or 8 yuan, while other fast food rarely exceeds 5 yuan, usually a few tens of cents to 1 or 2 yuan a piece, and the amount is very sufficient. Buying a cheese ham burger costs only 2 pieces of 5, which is as big as a child's pillow, and Hong Tao can't even eat one.

However, Hong Tao does not like the United States, especially California, because the smoking ban in Nima is very strict, and most shops, including bars, restaurants, and cafes, do not allow smoking, and even smoke areas are not prepared. If Hong Tao had the right to vote, he would never vote for the Republican Party, and Schwarzenegger is not yet a governor, but he is also a Republican. San Jose, an important city on the West Coast of the United States, was once the capital of California, with a population of less than one million, but it is the tenth largest city in the United States. It is very close to the city of San Francisco, only 60 kilometers away, one to the north of the San Francisco Bay Area. One is at the southernmost tip of the Bay Area.

The rise of the city was mainly after World War II, dominated by the electronics industry and aerospace equipment. The southern part of Silicon Valley is part of Clark County in the San Jose region, so it's home to a lot of big companies in electronics, computers, biotechnology, aerospace, and so on. Tan Jing's office location for AIGO is in San Jose. Across the street, the boxy, red-brick three-story building hangs a company sign, Adobe. Bargain aiog and adobe are neighbors, of course, Tan Jing doesn't know which way Adobe is a fairy.

Compared to Adobe's building, Aigo's office is too shabby. The house is a whole building, although it is not high, but it occupies more than half a block, and Aigo is only a half floor of the top floor of a gray four-story office building, with an area of only more than 200 square meters. There are only a dozen employees. A hall, a conference room, three offices, a pantry, two restrooms, a utility room, all gone!

"I see that most of this floor is still empty, why don't you rent the entire floor? You can't have stayed with Han Yan for a long time, and you have also contracted the problem of slamming the door, right?" Sitting on the sofa in the conference room, Hong Tao began to stand and talk again without back pain.

"What's the use of making it that big, when you have the money, buy this building, and all four floors will be ours. I love it because you can see the San Francisco Bay Area and the free basketball and tennis you can see. Here...... Now there is!" Tan Jing has not cared about her image since Hong Tao entered the house, and has been hanging on Hong Tao, like a newlywed wife. Fortunately, the windows of the conference room have shutters. The employees didn't notice that their female boss was just a little woman.

"Really...... I didn't expect there to be this thing on the roof of adobe, it deserves to be a big company, it's quite able to figure it out!" Hong Tao hugged Tan Jing and walked to the window. You can see the whole view of the top of the Adobe building. On the top of this building is a leisure center with open-air tennis and basketball courts. There are also green belts and cafes, and there are people fighting on the tennis courts. It was still two women in white dresses, so Hong Tao took a few more looks.

"Look at me picking at your eyes again! Formal negotiations will start tomorrow, are you still in the mood to watch the scenery here?" Tan Jing reached out and covered Hong Tao's eyes, and began to talk about the negotiation again, she was a little nervous.

"I'm afraid of a fart, you even dared to enter the prison at the beginning, would you be afraid of a broken negotiation?, which two people?" Hong Tao has not seen the shadow of Yulia and Ah Shan since he came in.

"They're going to have a meeting with the lawyer, and they're at Crystal Orchid, and they have a lot of space there, so they come in the evening. The lawyer said that they were likely to buy us, and the other day he reminded me to be mentally prepared and let me have a psychological price. Tan Jing used her fingers to draw circles in Hong Tao's collar.

"Thinking about beauty, now I know why I don't want the company to go public, right? We don't lack development funds, after the listing, we are donkeys, and we are whipped by others every day to help them grind. But don't look at us small now, as long as you and I don't nod our heads, no one can force us to do anything, and it's our own to earn a penny. We are happy to earn less, we are happy to earn more, we can't earn our heads! Acquisition? It will be done, come up with five billion dollars, let's immediately roll up the roll and roll the ball, don't talk about a penny less! Niu X, right? Do you see my current image is particularly tall?" Hong Tao picked Tan Jing up, let her sit on the windowsill facing him, and began his speech, and the audience was only Tan Jing alone, so he said it foaming at the stars, and he was very impassioned.

"I don't think you have woken up yet, five billion? Do you know the valuation that the lawyers gave us? This number ......" Tan Jing was not affected by Hong Tao at all, she listened to Hong Tao's nonsense too much, this level of flickering could not arouse any affection for her, and after Hong Tao finished speaking, she didn't even applaud, just stretched out three fingers.

"Three billion?" Hong Tao was really a little tempted.

"......" Tan Jing shook her head and continued to stretch out the three slender fingers.

"300 million !!" Hong Tao felt insulted.

"......" Tan Jing seemed to appreciate the shape of her fingers very much, and insisted on stretching out.

"Three...... Thirty million!" Hong Tao felt that someone was pushing his limits.

"Well, the highest price!" Tan Jing finally withdrew his fingers, and if he didn't take them back, Hong Tao would have to pinch them all off.

"You better call Yulia and Ah Shan, and tell them not to bother, those lawyers are also straw bales, 30 million? If I am willing to open an additional factory, the sales alone will exceed 100 million a year, not counting the licensing fee, 30 million? Let them come back and go to dinner with me, by the way, put on the most beautiful clothes, and I'll treat you to a great dinner in the evening. Hong Tao didn't want to listen to it at all, if he was still interested in bargaining with the other party for 300 million, as for 300 million or 500 million dollars, he was casually talking about it.

With these 300 million, he threw it directly into the stock market, which would really save his mind. Don't do anything, wait for the year 2000 to come, when he will be a complete billionaire, he feels that it will basically be enough for him to spend the rest of his life. And he has more than one mouse, and when the webcam is successfully developed, he will get a company like a protector, maybe he can sell it to whom, and there is a USB flash drive in the back, and he doesn't agree to the billionaire.

However, the figure of 30 million is too far from his goal, and he did not come to the United States to help the poor, he came here to be a parasite, who has ever heard that parasites have to feed back to their hosts? Who is the parasite and who is the host? Is there a royal law!

Yulia and Ah Shan came quickly, and an hour later, Yulia in a light-colored pure linen casual suit and Ah Shan in a high-end professional suit appeared in the conference room, one tall and one short was quite coordinated. However, Yulia's love xΓΉ and her clothes do not match very well, and they are not casual at all, Ah Shan smiled, hugged Hong Tao and jumped to her face.

"Hey, you haven't bought the house yet, you have to change your mind, right! You can't smile when you see me? You don't even have basic politeness? Believe it or not, I immediately regret it! Take back all the money for the house, and let you continue to squeeze into the apartment!" Hong Tao turned his face slightly sideways, and then stared at Yulia with slanted eyes.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm here for work, not because of the house!You're always confusing the two!" Yulia was immediately defeated, reluctantly came up, pecked Hong Tao in the face, and was still not convinced, muttering.

"Your job is to make me happy to see you! Women are most afraid of getting angry, and their skin will age quickly when they are angry, you see how good Tan Jing and Ah Shan are, their faces are flushed, if you look at you again, they will all become yellow-faced women! Hurry up and take off your blindfolded glasses, pretend to be a cultured person, go change clothes, and then take me to dinner, the most expensive restaurant, please! Don't stare...... To tell you the truth, I didn't wear a suit when I got married, and I gave it to you the first time, and you spent some money to repay the grievances!"

"And what are you going to wear when you get married?" Yulia was ready to surrender, it was really incomprehensible to her to pay such a big price for a meal, but she also wanted to understand another question.

"Of course, getting married is in a dress...... You're stupid!" Hong Tao didn't want to have any face at all, he would rather play this kind of word game with his subordinates for the sake of a meal.

Although San Jose is not tropical, the streets are lined with palm trees, and the Latin-style street buildings make it feel like southern Europe. There are not many high-rise buildings in the city, generally two- and three-story houses, the streets are clean, and the cityscape is very neat. Although there are a lot of immigrants here, the crime rate is very, very low in the United States, so it is safe to live here, but the consumption is slightly higher, because it is also the second highest rate of high-income families in the United States, and the standard rich city.
