White as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, sound like chime.

The white porcelain cup from the hands of the master of arts and crafts is not an exaggeration to call it a work of art, but it was 'snapped' and was smashed on the oak floor by the angry old chapter and the fragments were scattered. The sudden attack startled Sun Weigang, who was also angry, but he hurriedly jumped between the two, lest the eldest and second child turn their faces and make a move.

However, Li Jiaming, who was scolded by Lao Zhang, was not angry, and after getting up and cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces and tea stains that had been splashed everywhere, he sat back on the rattan chair in front of the fireplace, and handed a cup of tea to Lao Zhang, who was like the bottom of a pot. Put himself in his shoes, Li Jiaming can understand Lao Zhang's anger, seeing that Sogo can replace Yahoo, but he is suddenly kicked off the boat by the person who pulled him on the boat, and he will be angry if he is replaced.

But the world is so helpless, who made Sogo's strength weak? Who let the mother country can't do the United States, and can't support people like himself?

Sighing secretly, Li Jiaming smiled bitterly: "Lao Zhang, everything is just up to people."

Alas, the world is not up to man. After a while, Lao Zhang, who was smoking, also calmed down a little, snatched the teacup that was as smooth as jade, drank the hot tea, and slammed the cup on the coffee table.

That's it, Hanhua gave up supporting Sogo, Yu Gong was out of interest, and Yu Private couldn't talk about who was sorry for whom. People, you can't always ask others to help you, you have to think about what you can help others. Words like friendship and friendship are good to keep in your heart, but if you say them, they lose their preciousness.

"Tell me, how do you compensate us Sogo? Don't forget, you're also the majority shareholder of Sogo!"

Unable to compensate, Sogo has natural defects, and is destined to be the king at home and unable to go abroad. When Hanhua and Yahoo went to war, they could still take advantage of the situation, but once the two sides stopped fighting, Sogo became an outcast, and no one could help it.

"Lao Zhang, how Huawei and ZTE replaced Cisco and Ericsson in China, you also know very well in your heart. ”

Without the Industry and Information Technology Commission pulling the bias behind them, how could Huawei rise in a short period of time? Without the hint of the central government, how could Sogo get rid of Yahoo? But when the matter fell on his head, Lao Zhang still found it difficult to accept it, and he was unwilling to say: "Then we will do it for nothing?"

This is not the attitude it should be, and Li Jiaming also said coldly: "Did I ask you to do it?"

"You!"

Lao Zhang, who was still smoking just now, suddenly turned off the fire, and the back door of 'Excellence' was deliberately leaked by Jiang Yu, but from Li Jiaming to Wang Zhidong, nothing was explicitly said, so naturally there was no commitment, everything was just a tacit understanding. Li Jiaming was able to promise that Hanhua would not ask Sogo to make a huge amount of compensation, which was a tacit acquiescence that Hanhua had the motive to use Sogo.

"We asked to replace Yahoo and collaborate with the Hanwha North American Research Institute on artificial intelligence. ”

"Impossible".

Forced to retreat again and again, how can this make Lao Zhang acceptable? Annoyed, Lao Zhang also said gloomily: "Li Jiaming, Sogo is your ally!"

Yang Zhiyuan would stab himself in the back several times, and he repeatedly tolerated it, not because he was afraid of him, let alone out of friendship, but because he needed allies in the United States. But when it comes to Lao Zhang, they are indeed allies, and they have been sitting in the same boat, from Sohu to Sogo and Sohu Tesco and Sohu Energy, which can't help but make Li Jiaming silent, and he whispered for a while: "It's a last resort."

"Fart!"

Li Jiaming toasted another cup of tea and sighed: "Instead of cooperating with Apple and IBM, I would rather cooperate with Yahoo, so Yang Zhiyuan is my friend, and he can control Yahoo."

Lao Zhang sneered and mocked: "The courage of the defeated army?"

The words are inappropriate, but they mean that, Li Jiaming stroked the white porcelain cup in his hand, and suddenly said faintly: "Lao Zhang, do you remember Zhang Quanbao? ”

"What is this? compensation?"

After drinking the half-lukewarm tea, Li Jiaming smiled and said helplessly: "Lao Zhang, we have been friends for more than ten years, and we still don't know who I am?"

Staring at Li Jiaming for a while, Lao Zhang, who knew that he couldn't do anything, finally gave in and commanded: "Grandson, go and call Zhang Quanbao, just say that we will invest three billion." ”

"Oh", Sun Weigang, who was secretly relieved, quickly got up, walked to Li Jiaming's bookcase, and familiarly found a satellite phone from inside. He doesn't have Zhang Zhaoyang's ambition, so he can better understand Li Jiaming's difficulties, everyone is not the time to eat roadside stalls in Zhongguancun back then, although Sogo has tens of thousands of employees, and Hanhua also has hundreds of thousands of employees, how can everyone's interests still be the same?

At this time, I can have a direct showdown with everyone to explain my hardships, and also think of everyone's friendship, and share a share of the brothers in the capital operation of victory, and the second child has done his best. In fact, Sun Weigang misses the days in China very much, although the eldest and second often break their wrists, but they are all up to the point, and there are not so many intrigues.

After making the call, Sun Weigang turned around and walked out of the study, went to the cellar to bring two bottles of whiskey, and asked Zhang Zhaoyang instead of the topic: "Second brother, what does Robert mean downstairs?"

If there is no profit, who will get up early? It is a tragedy that Yahoo and Hanhua both lose and lose, and it is not a happy event for these financial people, and it is not unique to China that big conglomerates use inside information to engage in insider trading for profit.

"Vultures".

That's fine, as long as it is a Goldman Sachs person who can make a vote in the stock market, it can be regarded as not in vain. Lao Zhang, who was suspicious by nature, took Sun Weigang's wine glass, took the initiative to touch the glass with Li Jiaming, and retreated: "Foreign ones can't work, but what about domestic ones?"

Li Jiaming does not have the habit of eating alone, the plate of artificial intelligence is too big, and Hanhua can't eat such a big piece of cake.

"Lao Zhang, the original remains unchanged, and everyone has to sit down and talk about it in the practical application stage. ”

"I'm not talking about artificial intelligence, I'm talking about the National Bank, can it expand its shares?"

Hanhua is very strong but still needs allies, and the Sohu system has also become a climate, some things must be compromised, otherwise Lao Zhang and they may not become Yang Zhiyuan's second. In addition to the Sohu system, there is also Ali's fierce beast, and he has a bad relationship with Yang Zhiyuan, so he gave Ma Yun a chance to Xingfeng, and then control the National Bank, the consequences are unpredictable.

It's not about feelings and morality, it's about the choice of practical interests. Li Jiaming weighed it for a while, and then said happily: "After the New Year, everyone will go to Hangzhou to eat Dongpo meat?"

"Okay, call Robert up."

This is the right reason, in order to let Sogo go abroad, Lao Zhang even changed his nationality, Robert They want to kill two birds with one stone, of course they have to pay something. He divided three billion shares from his rice bowl, which is his usual rich and everyone earns, Robert, they don't need to pay anything in this feast?

Li Jiaming drank all the wine that Sun Wei had just poured, went downstairs and asked Robert to talk, and asked Kyle, "How is it?"

"The DOJ has concluded its investigation, and we have withdrawn our charges against the DOJ. In addition, we are divided according to the proportion of capital contribution, but we are still not allowed to participate in government procurement."

Damn, having strength is hanging, saying that it is not allowed is not allowed, and there is not even a little room for maneuver. Li Jiaming couldn't help but burst into foul language, and had to accept the fact that this situation is stronger than others.

This is already a good ending, and Kyle, who was dizzy from talking, handed over a glass of wine and explained, "Boss, I got angry with Jerry before I came, and he promised that the claim against the iTunes Store would not be too much. ”

It won't go too far, that is, it won't force the iTunes Store into bankruptcy, but that's the way it can be. Replace Hanhua with an American-funded company, Yahoo will fall when it falls, but Hanhua will not be able to kill it. Alas, the situation is stronger than people, and if it drags on, there will be opposition even within the company, Li Jiaming nodded helplessly, and explained: "Arrange the follow-up hand, we can't leave a handle on anyone." ”

"Understand, Robert, they will do it himself, and everything has nothing to do with you and Hanhua. ”

“Yes/boss”.

Kyle, who has a good understanding of Chinese culture, has always used a subordinate tone, and only after discussing the business has been explained in the tone of a friend that he has negotiated privately with Kyle. There is a suspicion of wanting to cover up, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, Li Jiaming didn't care and said: "It's okay, you are the CEO, and the specific affairs are your purview."

“Ok“.
