Chapter 364: Press Conference

Although Lin Yaxuan hid out, this was not the solution to the problem, not to mention that she was still pregnant.

Not only the wife and children, but even the parents of both sides had better not stay in Huhai, Zhou Liwen quickly made a decision, and asked Lin Yaxuan to take them directly to the airport on the phone, his plane is on the airport side, and after getting on the plane, go to Japan to hide first.

When he went to Japan, Zhou Liwen mainly considered that this matter is estimated to have a great impact in the United States, and even if he returns to the United States, he may not be able to avoid harassment by the paparazzi. What's more, flying to the United States is too long, and it is not convenient for Lin Yaxuan to have a big belly, it is better to go directly to Japan, the place is close, and the plane is not tired for 2 hours, let Son Masayoshi help arrange it in Japan, find a quiet place to live for a few days, and avoid this limelight.

Just finished talking to Lin Yaxuan here, and before Zhou Liwen could wash his face and brush his teeth, the phone suddenly rang again.

"Congratulations bavc" The caller turned out to be Richard, who said with a smile on the phone.

Zhou Liwen said a few words of rejoicing, Richard is also a shareholder of or, but he has been staring at real estate projects in the mainland these days, so he didn't watch the market together last night. It seems that he also knew about the listing of the stock and made this call to say hello to himself.

"Don't say much politely, tell you something." Richard said mysteriously on the phone: "I just received the news, the place where you live will soon be touched by reporters, if you don't want to be disturbed, I still recommend you to hide for a while." ”

Zhou Liwen was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't cry or laugh. The noses of these reporters are really smarter than dogs, and they can actually be inquired about by them in Xiangjiang, it seems that this place and Huhai's home can't stay for the time being, otherwise the reporter will block the door, and the ghost knows what trouble will happen.

Thanks to Richard, Zhou Liwen hung up the phone and immediately cleaned up, and at the same time learned the news that the friends in the guest room were all sleepy, and hurriedly got up and prepared, and waited for Zhou Liwen and their panicked car just drove out of the villa area not far away, and they met the reporters' cars, fortunately, these reporters didn't know that the car they passed by was sitting in the Zhou Liwen they were looking for, which made Zhou Liwen and them come to a "victory escape".

Leaving the villa, Zhou Liwen simply went straight to the airport, hung up the phone to Richard halfway, and borrowed his private jet. After arriving at the airport, Zhou Liwen got on the plane and went straight to Japan, and he was relieved after the plane landed in Japan.

In the next few days, Zhou Liwen has been hiding in the countryside of Nagoya, Japan, saying that it is the countryside, but it is actually no worse than the city, the antique Heian style building, coupled with Japan's unique hot spring culture, not only does not have any inconvenience, but is very comfortable.

This place is still arranged by Son Masayoshi for Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen's family is very satisfied, fishing every day, walking, or soaking in hot springs or something, which makes people have an unusually casual and comfortable feeling. Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan, including their parents, suddenly came to "evaporate from the world", which made those reporters temporarily lose their goals. After looking for a long time, these reporters did not find Zhou Liwen's whereabouts.

As for the OR stock, after reaching the price of UU-USD at the end of the first day, it continued to rise the next day, reaching a high of $6, but finally closed slightly lower at 3. 6 USD. In the following days, the stock price basically hovered around $3, which also means that the stock price of OR has stabilized, according to the current stock price, the hat of the world's richest man on Zhou Liwen's head has been worn.

"Ahhh......h

Shirtless, Son buried the whole person in the steaming water, only his half-bald head was exposed on the surface of the water, and exclaimed with an extremely exaggerated expression.

Zhou Liwen was opposite him, also soaking in the comfortable hot spring water, smiling and watching the former richest man in the world "treat each other honestly" with him.

"Thank you so much this time, thanks to you for helping arrange this place, otherwise I would have to annoy the reporters to death." Zhou Liwen picked up the sake on the tray on the surface of the water and made a gesture of thanks to Son.

"You're welcome, just the habits of your stay." Son Masayoshi stretched out his hand to wipe his face, took a towel and tied it on his forehead, and waved his hand happily: "It's that you've been here for a few days, and I've been busy in Tokyo and haven't had time to come over to take a look, don't worry about it."

"How so?" Zhou Liwen said with a smile, today Son Zhengyi deliberately took the time to come from Tokyo to see him, which is already a big face, and their family has been arranged by Son Zhengyi in Japan these days, this favor is big enough.

For Zhou Liwen's visit to Japan this time, Son Masayoshi can understand it very well, thinking that it was the same when he became the richest man, even in a country like Japan, which was also annoyed by those reporters. What's more, Zhou Liwen and Son Zhengyi have completely different personalities, Son Zhengyi is a person who likes to deal with people, which is also the main reason why he chose to do the investment industry. When he became the richest man, he still kept seeing some people looking for venture capital with projects every day. But Zhou Liwen's personality is the opposite of him, Zhou Liwen has never been a person who likes to be lively, coupled with his always low-key style, it is also a normal reaction to choose to hide in Japan in this situation.

However, it's not the same thing to keep hiding like this, and today Son Zhengyi came to see Zhou Liwen angrily on the one hand to discuss things about IT companies. Zhou Liwen's Taobao, Alipay and Ahri have launched a comprehensive cooperation, and the power of the merger of the three has suddenly been revealed. In addition, Liu Ting's project to turn to China to open overseas shopping in the establishment of Xiangjiang has been officially launched, which makes Son Zhengyi see another business opportunity.

"Do you plan to use channels and influence to get Kyoto to approve the establishment of a Shanghai-Hai accelerated free trade zone?" Listening to Sun Zhengyi's proposal, Zhou Liwen suddenly frowned.

Sun Zhengyi nodded, very confident: "This is not my idea, the establishment of a free trade zone in Shanghai has been proposed a few years ago, you see, although our current overseas shopping project was established in Xiangjiang, in the long run, Xiangjiang as a transit point is not as good as directly using the free trade zone in Shanghai." If this free trade zone can be established, it will not only be of great help to us, but also a very beneficial thing for the local government of Shanghai. ”

Zhou Liwen smiled noncommittally, he didn't want to express any opinion on this matter, because he knew very well that this matter was impossible for the time being. If there are no accidents, this matter will have to be put on hold for at least a few years, and it will not be started until the current team retires. Because it involves the issue of taking sides in politics, everyone on the earth knows what it is.

Of course, Son Zhengyi's proposal now is a big thing that he doesn't understand about in Huhai, but Zhou Liwen will never tell him. This kind of thing, he will not interfere, and second, he will not remind him, since Son Zhengyi wants to give it a try, then let him try, even if he fails, there is no loss.

"What is the current situation of your SoftBank investment funds?" Zhou Liwen avoided the other party's topic and asked about another thing instead.

"What? Are you still short of funds? Son Zhengyi looked at Zhou Liwen a little strangely, and said with a smile: "Of course I'm happy if your OR needs to invest, I'm afraid you don't want to." ”

Zhou Liwen smiled and waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Of course I don't mean this, I want to ask you, after all, you are engaged in investment, and you are more professional than me in this regard." If I have a large amount of available funds in my hands, how much profit can you guarantee if I hand it over to you SoftBank? ”

Hearing this, Sun Zhengyi sat up from the water, took off the towel and wiped his sweat and asked, "What do you mean...... Huhai Bank? ”

"Yes, or no."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Liwen said in a deep voice: "At present, Alipay's users are very large, just based on Alipay's daily turnover and cycle, there is a very huge amount of money on hold, which is a waste for the banking industry or the investment industry, what do you think?" ”

Son Zhengyi nodded, and agreed: "This is indeed a waste, I have learned about the operation of Alipay, and I have to say that with the increase of funds in the future, the amount of idle funds will become larger and larger." But isn't this a good thing for Huhai Bank? I remember that Alipay's partner is Huhai Bank, and you are the major shareholder of Huhai Bank, so it is inevitable to obtain profits according to the bank's operating income. ”

"But the problem is that Huhai Bank is too small." Zhou Liwen sighed and said: "With the increase in the amount of funds, the shortcomings of Huhai Bank will be revealed. Although Huhai Bank has developed rapidly in recent years, after all, it is only a domestic commercial bank in China, and it is much worse than the four major banks in terms of bank users, market share, including investment channels, etc., not to mention your SoftBank. I think so, and I hope that your SoftBank and Huhai Bank, including Alipay, will fully cooperate in this regard, and use this part of the spare funds to make some fuss. ”

Son tilted his head and pondered, nodded and said: "This kind of cooperation is possible, SoftBank has a wide range of investment channels in China, and there is certainly no problem for the two sides to cooperate in terms of funds." However, just relying on Alipay's flowing water may not play a big role, right? ”

Zhou Liwen smiled and said his final plan, this plan is not a novelty, it is the Yue Bao made by Alipay in the later period of history. To put it bluntly, this so-called Yu Yu Bao is a low-level financial game, which is actually no different from fundraising. If its income is particularly high, and it is not so convenient to invest and transfer out, or even set restrictions, it can almost be similar to a Ponzi scheme.

But no matter what, the essence of financial games is not much different, and it is common for financiers to take out something that has basically the same connotation, but is dressed up as a tall thing to fool people. As the head of SoftBank, Zhou Liwen immediately understood when Zhou Liwen said this, and after doing this calculation in his mind, he came to the conclusion that the benefits of engaging in this thing in the current situation outweigh the disadvantages.

Son immediately agreed with the project. Seeing that there was no problem on Sun Zhengyi's side, Zhou Liwen smiled and asked him to find time to arrange it, and discuss it in detail with Liu Ting, Ma Qingyang and Huhai Bank, how to operate it, and come up with a plan after discussion.

Son Zhengyi agreed, but he didn't expect to soak in a hot spring and make a good deal, which made him feel very comfortable. Laughing and telling some anecdotes he had heard in Tokyo, it was said that OR is now known as a "millionaire" maker after Microsoft.

On the second day of the listing of the company's shares, the OR headquarters suddenly had dozens of luxury cars, and due to the listing of the shares and the cashing of the stock options of each employee, the owners of the company all became rich. The worst of them are also millionaires, some are multimillionaires, and as for company executives, such as Bill and others, they even became billionaires all of a sudden, which has become an interesting story that the whole of Silicon Valley talks about.

"Now the news in the U.S. is still reporting this, and the newspapers and the Internet are full of interviews with people from your company, don't you know that?" Son asked with a smile.

Zhou Liwen really doesn't know, he has been living in the countryside these days, he hasn't read a newspaper, and he hasn't surfed the Internet, and he lives a very leisurely life every day. Hearing this, Zhou Liwen also felt funny, but this is normal, can this person make money or not? What's more, Lao Mei's personality is extroverted, and she is no worse than the Chinese people.

"In my opinion, it's not a problem for you to hide like this all the time, in my opinion, it's better to find an appropriate time to hold a press conference and show up." Son Zhengyi patted Zhou Liwen on the shoulder and suggested, Zhou Liwen's heart also moved after hearing it, it is indeed as he said, it is not the same thing that he is always hiding, this Bill Gates, and including Son Zhengyi, have not all sat in the position of the richest man, and they have not looked at them hiding

It's better to be annoyed for a lifetime than to be annoyed for a while, even if you hide again, the family can't hide with you, right? I haven't been showing up, and God knows when this wind will pass. Zhou Liwen thought about it and accepted Sun Zhengyi's suggestion, planning to hold a small-scale press conference, as for the fear of anything, then ask the reporters to delete it at that time, and just take care of it.

Since people are now in Japan, it is simply possible to hold a press conference in Japan. Although the Japanese are not very good, but there is still a set of rules on the surface, not to mention that there is a son Masayoshi to help, and it is not difficult to run this press conference. After Son returned to Tokyo, he quietly contacted several reliable media outlets with good connections and worked for Zhou Liwen. When the arrangement is almost complete, then send invitations to some international media, including Chinese media. When it was learned that Zhou Liwen was going to hold a press conference in Tokyo, all of a sudden, regardless of whether they received an invitation or not, all kinds of media, large and small, rushed over.

On the day of the press conference, Zhou Liwen appeared as scheduled, which immediately caused a commotion. According to the arrangement, Zhou Liwen first released a set of business views on OR companies to the media, as well as views on stock listing, etc. Next is the reporter's question, the question time is not long, by the special person to ask questions one by one, the atmosphere of the scene is very good.

"BAVC, now that Silicon Valley says your OR company has become a millionaire maker, what do you think of this comment?" A reporter from the United States raised his hand and asked.

"Aren't you a multimillionaire maker?" Zhou Liwen asked in surprise, then touched his head and suddenly realized: "It seems that the employees of the company have squandered too much these days, and they have changed their money for good cars and houses to go from multimillionaire to millionaire?" ”

These words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the reporters present all knew about the situation of dozens of luxury cars appearing in the parking lot of OT company overnight.

"Mr. Zhou, who do you want to thank most now for becoming the world's first richest Chinese?" Needless to say, it must have been asked by the domestic media, and only they would ask such unnutritious nonsense.

Zhou Liwen had a faint smile on his face: "This is wrong, I am not the first." ”

"Not? But....... The reporter who asked the question was obviously stunned, and his expression was a little confused.

"Don't forget that before me, there was Yahoo's Yang, and in addition, the director here, Mr. Sun Zhengyi, is also from China, so how can I say that I am the first before me? If you count the Wu family in the Qing Dynasty, as well as the famous and adult in history, my wealth is not worth mentioning compared to them. ”

Zhou Liwen's words choked the other party speechless, who asked him to ask such a question that does not go through the brain, before the reporter came to his senses, and then the host named the next reporter.

The next few reporters were not as naΓ―ve as the reporter just now, and the content of the questions could not be said to be tricky, at least they were decent. In the end, when he was nominated to a reporter from the New York Times, the reporter suddenly asked a question, which made Zhou Liwen stunned.

"According to the information we have received, Apple is preparing to sue OR company, your company's tablet has stolen Apple's design patents, what do you think about this issue bavc?"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Liwen reacted immediately after a short period of distraction, and he said in surprise: "I'm sorry, I don't know if what you said is true, at least I haven't received such news yet, so it's impossible to give any answer to this matter." ”

"Apple's ......."

"If Apple formally sues OR, you can get information from my lawyer, which is not the content of today's press conference, and I am very sorry." Zhou Liwen said this with a smile without waiting for the other party to finish, and then the host announced the end of the press conference, Zhou Liwen nodded to everyone, turned around and left, and when he left the venue, his expression became solemn, and he said to the people around him: "Immediately investigate for me, what is going on with what I just said"

I'm always sorry, I had a fever of 3 degrees yesterday, and I hung water for two days yesterday and today, and the fever has receded, but my head is still dizzy, and the code word feels bad, and I apologize for the typos and sentences in these two astronomys!)
