Chapter 45 Business is Business
Question: How to make a cute silly white sweet be his own belongings with peace of mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Answer: On the premise of ensuring a sufficient material foundation, let her face reality, but don't let her rebel against reality.
It may sound like the first point is easy and the second point is difficult, but in fact the first point is the most difficult, and the second point is relatively easy.
Everyone has different knowledge, different experiences, different information they receive, and different perceptions of reality.
If you want to truly understand the reality comprehensively, you must break your three views again and again and then reorganize, and the elegant way to put it is to live to learn from the old.
However, there are thousands of difficulties, and it is the most difficult to admit mistakes, and two people with different butts and different positions will fight for a red face and a thick neck even if they have a face-to-face discussion. Not to mention that after the advent of the Internet era, no one knows who you are, no one can touch you, even if everyone proves themselves wrong, they still have to mess around and use their faces to slap other people's hands.
Therefore, when the reality does not conform to one's own cognition, and one is unable to find the internal logic in it, and cannot change the other party to conform to one's own understanding, then all kinds of shouts for a better one are impossible, and the reality is too magical, the reality is not logical, and so on.
The bad ones are more likely to bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, and the extreme ones simply hide in the spiritual homes they have built, such as those "artists" who committed suicide.
Of course, you have to create a reality in your head, and then it's okay to resist, but in that case, the outcome is usually not good.
Therefore, my mother is obviously disgusted with Japanese society, but she still uses those women as goods, which is not a transformation of the victim and the perpetrator, nor is it assimilated by the system, but simply ...... There has never been a savior, nor does it depend on the Immortal Emperor.
Of course, she is Japanese, so it is inevitable that she will go to extremes.
I won't mention this for the time being, Li Xu has put a lot of effort into Diana, after all, I have known each other since I was 10 years old, and even Charles has returned with a feather, what are you worried about?
As long as you are careful not to be pried into the corner, there should be no problem, and that cutie is sometimes a dead eye.
Besides, although Diana is the least bad choice, it is by no means the only choice, the big deal is the same as Dad, just find a girl of the same class, and then play their own good.
Sending away the future wife candidate, Li Xu began to familiarize himself with his investment holding company, even if he still had to go to school, even if his father would arrange a mature team for him, but he had to do everything in his heart.
Anyway, there hasn't been anything important lately, but Yamauchi Pu has been very enthusiastic through a few phone calls, and the game\\&watch has been launched at the end of April, and the sales are very good. While there's still potential to be tapped, they've already started to work on a new handheld with D-pads, and want to use the game he promised to play on.
Li Xu is not in a hurry, just let them get the prototype out first, how complicated can "Tetris" be? Oh, it is estimated that it will be called "American Cube" in this time and space...... Forget it, it's better to call it "Cube" directly.
Anyway, Atari has been fighting about third-party development, and Li Xu has been observing, and the establishment of Activision has become inevitable, depending on when and whether the name will still be Activision.
When the time comes, invest a sum of money in holdings, and find a few programmers for targeted development, there is no problem at all.
As for the incident where his father and grandfather hung his appetite, from the end of March to now, it has been hanging for two months, and it doesn't matter if he hangs it for a while, anyway, a week is very fast, and he has long regarded this as something to sharpen his patience.

"God, is that Greenspan?
"Of course, could it still be Bernanke?"
"Who is Bernanke?"
"Hmm...... I forgot, maybe the next Fed chairman?"
"Sorry, I haven't heard the name. ”
"It's okay, I haven't heard of it either. ”
Speaking of this, the young man in front of him lifted the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and simply changed the subject: "I'm really grateful that you invited me to the Eneriser Club, Eddie." ”
"Then how are you going to repay me?" Li Xu immediately asked with a smile.
"If Microsoft were to go public, how about leaving it to Stanley?" said Bill Gates.
"Oh?" Li Xu picked in surprise, "Last time I suggested this, you said you needed to think about it." ”
"I've thought about it," Gates said with a serious look on his face, then raised his hands, "Well, I just heard that Stanley is the way to go public for Apple." ”
"Don't want to lose to Jobs?" Li Xu laughed twice, as if he really believed this statement.
"Then it's settled, don't embarrass me then, Bill. Li Xu patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed," Gates nodded, glancing over at Greenspan, "If you don't mind, I'd like to go over and say hi to them." ”
"No problem," Li Xu immediately made a gesture of please, "It just so happens that I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." ”
After speaking, he patted his arm: "Come on." ”
Really, do I look so much like someone who wants Microsoft to be his own? Li Xu sneered, and didn't want to think about how Microsoft could become a behemoth in the future if it didn't have Gates!
Of course, this kind of confidence is only available to him, and although Gates has a talent for technology and business, he has not reached that point, and it is understandable that he is worried, so ...... Let him be.
The reason why he took this opportunity to invite Gates to the Enerrisse Club to make a familiar face is not to show goodwill.
Seeing that the future richest man carefully talked to big names such as Greenspan, Warren Buffett, and Welch, who had just become the CEO of General Electric, Li Xu shrugged his shoulders, looked around, and then walked to the corner of the hall.
Honoris means "glory" in Latin, and the club was founded by his grandfather, so it goes without saying.
In high circles, there are countless such clubs, and the most famous is probably ...... That's right, Freemasonry.
Such clubs are in the same vein as the salons in Europe, but the difference is that today, the members of these clubs are either rich or noble, and they are all influential characters.
What's more important is that there are not many people, and even fewer of them reflect the club's compulsion, yes, that's it.
Li Xu once heard his father tell an example, in the 90s of the 18th century, a well-known gentleman in Montreal, when attending a party of the highest well-known club in the city, felt that there were too many people to highlight the sense of superiority, so he simply quit, set up a club by himself, and invited several people with the same status to participate.
As a result, as the fame spread, people from the upper echelons flocked to the club, which soon overtook the club as the most demanding club in Montreal.
It doesn't matter if this example is true or not, the important thing is that the people who participated in the club established by Grandpa were indeed people with great power.
Even if the club's routine activities are just chatting together, playing golf or something, it is still enough for them to complete many transactions, and Li Xu came to the club on the outskirts of San Francisco today for this.
"Grandpa. After knocking on the door and entering the private room, Li Xu owed his casually dressed grandfather, and then nodded to the two middle-aged white men who were about forty-five to fifty years old: "Hello, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Mars." ”
"Hello, little Edward, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're an adult. Johnson was the first to nod.
"Sit down and talk. Grandpa pointed to a chair.
"Okay, grandpa. Li Xu sat down and straightened his waist.
"I'm sure you know what I'm here for, right?" asked Mark Johnson.
"Yes, it looks like the Northrop board of directors hasn't reached an agreement yet. Li Xu said bluntly.
"You've got a problem for us, little Edward," Craig Mars sighed, who had not spoken, "Originally, the board of directors had agreed to develop a new model that could compete with the F-16 while President Carter's Directive No. 3 was still in effect, but Mr. Lee immediately split again after throwing out your suggestion. ”
"That's because the different opinions of the board of directors were forcibly suppressed. Grandpa interjected unhurriedly beside him.
"I don't see what's wrong with this, gentlemen, isn't the purpose of the Northrop board of directors to develop new models that can compete with the F-16?" Li Xu shrugged.
Without waiting for them to speak, he continued: "Since the government does not support the finances, then it is okay to use other people's money, and if I remember correctly, the Pahlavi government spent $1 billion on the F-14 and at the same time asked domestic banks to give Grumman a loan of $75 million. ”
"And now the Iranians have 79 F-14s in their hands. Mars shook his head.
"So what?" Li Xu looked puzzled, "Let's not mention that they are all castrated versions, can they repair them?"
Then he laughed: "If you are worried that they will be annexed by the north, you don't have to, I believe that even if the north has the heart, it will not have the strength." ”
"But China and the United States have formally established diplomatic relations," Johnson reminded, "and they are asking Washington to give up arms support for that place, and Washington has warned us that we must at least be a little more restrained for now." ”
"So what," Li Xu didn't care, "we signed the contract, if they are willing to pay compensation for us, we will tear up the contract immediately." Can they? They can't, after all, business is business, and we have to respect the spirit of contract. ”
Johnson and Mars exchanged glances and shrugged together, and then Johnson asked, "But ......"
Before he could export it, Li Xu interrupted him: "I know that China and the United States still have a lot of things to negotiate, we can set up a temporary R&D center over there, even if the north clearly signs a communiqué in the future, requiring us to stop arms sales, we can also use this R&D center to provide them with technical support, so as to firmly control this market." ”
Saying that, he leaned forward slightly: "I don't know what you're hesitating about, gentlemen, the main fighter over there is the F-5 series, and Northrop has a natural advantage." I've been longing for a new fighter over there, otherwise it wouldn't have come to my head, this is a fat sheep!"
