(.) A fragrant cup of mocha lies quietly on the table, with an unopened bag of sugar and a slender wooden stirring stick on the side.

He felt in his pocket, as if he wanted to pull out a cigarette, but before he could pull it out, he remembered that the coffee shop at the airport was non-smoking. Looking up at Zhou Liwen, who was drinking coffee with a calm look, Da Liu secretly swallowed his saliva, thought about it and finally opened his mouth.

"Brother, I know you are complaining about me in your heart, but the situation at the beginning was really complicated, and some things were not only me, but even my cousin was involuntarily. Besides, you didn't have any actual loss in this matter, didn't I leave the car for you when I left, and the money you earned when we cooperated before, in general, you are not at a loss. ”

Zhou Liwen smiled and shook his head, he didn't say anything, but just looked at Da Liu with a playful eye.

Da Liu couldn't figure out what Zhou Liwen's attitude was, and after thinking about it, he said: "Brother, Brother Zhou is telling the truth, you touch your chest and tell the truth, my cousin and I haven't treated you badly, right?" Promote you step by step from a small clerk to the position of branch manager, even if you privately use the group's resources to do business for yourself after you arrive in Huacheng, whether it is me or my cousin, I have never said a word, and even provided you with convenience. Isn't that correct? ”

After a pause, Da Liu continued: "Speaking of which, everyone is nominally superior and subordinate, in fact, it is to engage in cooperation, put you in the position of Huacheng to do procurement, my cousin and I have made a lot of money, but you have also made a lot of money in private logistics, for this I also said good things for you in front of my cousin, let him hand over the other logistics resources of the group to you to do, Brother Zhou, you should remember this matter." Of course, because something went wrong in some cases, we almost cheated you, but after all, you didn't get on the set, and you didn't lose anything from this point, and then my cousin told me about the situation after he arrived in Australia, and I also felt that you have a flexible brain and a refreshing mind. Because of this, he didn't force you in the end, right? To put it mildly, if he really used administrative means to force it down at that time, what would you, the branch manager, do? Isn't it just that he can do what he wants? So, in the end, we still took care of everyone's incense, don't you deny that? ”

"What you said is true, but since you talk about cooperation, do you know what will happen in the country when you pat your ass and run like this? Especially me, as the manager of the Huacheng branch at that time, in the face of the group's review and suspension, I was almost caught by you as a fellow party. Zhou Liwen put down the coffee cup and said with some resentment.

"There's no way around it." Da Liu spread his hands: "As I said earlier, the situation at that time was a bit complicated. Originally, our plan was not so hasty, who would have thought that the news had been revealed out of nowhere, and I got the news that my cousin was already quietly being investigated. Who would dare to take this risk in such a situation, you say? People are not for themselves, who can they take care of at this time? You say, don't you? ”

"But even then, there's no need to trick me before leaving, right? If I hadn't noticed that something was wrong at the time, wouldn't I have fallen into your pit? ”

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, what's wrong with this pit?" Speaking of this, Da Liu didn't have the initial apprehension, but got up casually: "Anyway, it's the country's money, and it's just a negligence responsibility for your small branch manager to really hold him accountable in the end, you didn't take the money, and second, you are not an accomplice, and third, my cousin was the vice president at that time, and what about the work you did assigned by the superior?" These responsibilities are a big deal, and they are the result of dismissal. But think about it, where did you get the position of branch manager? Who helped you to this level? And how much money did you make by engaging in logistics after becoming a manager? Isn't that enough to compensate for the loss of dismissal? Besides, do you really think we're going to leave you with nothing? To tell you the truth, my cousin has already arranged it, and it really comes to that point and wait for you to find a chance to make up for it financially after you are fired, isn't it great? ”

"Do you really think so?" Hearing this, Zhou Liwen was a little surprised, and asked with his eyebrows.

"What? Unbelief? Da Liu finally took a sip of coffee and asked directly, "Do you know Zhang Dengfeng from Shicheng?" Later, wasn't he dismissed by the group? If you have his contact information, you can ask him privately, did he receive the compensation we gave him after he was dismissed from the group? ”

Of course, Zhou Liwen knows Zhang Dengfeng, not only knows but is very familiar. You must know that when Mr. Chen and Da Liu dug a pit for themselves, Zhou Liwen found someone to verify his guess and called Zhang Dengfeng, and it was this call that made Zhou Liwen see through their tricks.

After Mr. Chen's world evaporated, this matter came out in the group, and Zhang Dengfeng, who fell into Mr. Chen's pit at that time, was poured blood mold, not only reviewed by his superiors over and over again, but also kicked out by the group in the end. If you say it well, you will be dismissed, and if you say it badly, you will be expelled. This former branch manager became an unemployed middle-aged man overnight, and his experience was emotional.

And now, Da Liu said that they later gave Zhang Dengfeng compensation, which Zhou Liwen did not know. After all, at that time, Zhou Liwen had already left the group and was busy with his own business, except for some gossip from Ma Tianyuan at the beginning, he never had contact with Zhang Dengfeng again. As for how Zhang Dengfeng is doing, Zhou Liwen doesn't know anything.

However, since what Da Liu said is so conclusive, it seems that this matter may not be false. If this is the case, Zhou Liwen has a much better feeling for Da Liu and Mr. Chen, at least they still have a bottom line for doing things, just this makes Zhou Liwen feel more comfortable.

His expression softened, and the atmosphere of the conversation that followed was much better than the one just now.

Zhou Liwen asked why Da Liu came to the United States, and at the same time asked about Mr. Chen's recent situation. For these two questions, the former question is refreshing, telling Zhou Liwen that he came to the United States to talk about business, before going to Australia, he registered a company in Australia, mainly doing some import and export and entrepot trade, although the scale of the company is not large, but the profit is okay, plus the money he got in China before, it is very nourishing from the perspective of life.

As for Mr. Chen's recent situation, maybe it's because Da Liu considers that Mr. Chen's affairs in China are still hanging over there, so he just vaguely said that Mr. Chen is not bad now, he bought a farm or something in Australia, and he is very chic to raise sheep and shear sheep or something.

"I said Brother Zhou, I heard that you went to do logistics on your own after leaving the group, why did you come to the United States?" After talking about his own business, Da Liu casually asked about Zhou Liwen's situation.

These words made Zhou Liwen stunned, since his photos were published in Time magazine last year, there are many people who know him. And with his current status as the chairman of the company, I am afraid that his old colleagues and friends in China also know that Zhou Liwen is now a world-famous celebrity.

But Da Liu doesn't know anything about his own situation, and maybe even Mr. Chen doesn't know about himself, which is a bit strange. But looking back, Zhou Liwen is also suitable, after all, Australia is not the United States, let alone China. Zhou Liwen's famous news is very hot in the United States and China, but not so well in Australia. What's more, Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and Mr. Chen's identity is relatively special, so I am afraid that he will not live in big cities like Melbourne and Sydney. Didn't Da Liu say it, Mr. Chen also bought a farm or something in Australia, it is estimated that he lives in a remote countryside, and Mr. Chen's age is different from young people, so it is normal to not know Zhou Liwen's current situation.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but smile secretly, and immediately found an excuse to vaguely pass over the topic. Da Liu didn't ask, anyway, he just asked casually, and even subconsciously, Da Liu first thought that Zhou Liwen could meet him here, and nine times out of ten he came to the United States to discuss business, or travel or something.

The coincidence with Da Liu delayed Zhou Liwen for more than an hour, and then Zhou Liwen rejected Da Liu's suggestion to invite him back to the city together, and found a reason to catch a plane to other cities and broke up with Da Liu at the airport.

After seeing Da Liu leave, Zhou Liwen looked at his back and shook his head with a smile, and then walked to the parking lot.

Investing in Ahri with SoftBank and Yahoo requires some process, but with the signing of the overall cooperation agreement, the next steps are only a matter of time. Liu Ting called Zhou Liwen from Japan the next day to report, first, to tell Zhou Liwen that she had arrived in Japan, and second, to report to Zhou Liwen that she had met with Sun Zhengyi, and everything went very smoothly.

explained a few words to Liu Ting on the phone, so that she could communicate with herself in time if she had any situation. Subsequently, Zhou Liwen continued to wait for news from Wells Fargo, and after Zhou Liwen rejected the listing plan first proposed by Wells Fargo, he conveyed his conditions to Wells Fargo through Chambers, but Wells Fargo did not give a clear reply for several days, and Zhou Liwen was not in a hurry, and continued to do whatever he wanted, without urging at all.

Of course, the outside is loose and the inside is tight, Zhou Liwen is not nothing, he asked Bill to sort out the stock options work within OR, and at the same time instructed Bill to quietly disclose the news of Wells Fargo and OR Company to negotiate listing. As the current leader in the field of smart phones, the potential and scale of the OR company is obvious to all, when the news of Wells Fargo and OR companies in order to go public came out, it really caused waves in the business and financial circles, some major brokerages and banks have set their sights on the OR piece of fat, and even sent personnel to contact OR, hoping to seize this business before the rich country.

Zhou Liwen didn't see any of these people and inquiries, and only left all the matter to Bill to dismiss. Although he did this, on the surface, it was a relatively clumsy method, and Wells Fargo knew that it was a small measure made by Zhou Liwen to raise the conditions. However, although this method is clumsy, it is extremely effective, which makes Wells Fargo, which originally wanted to suppress Zhou Liwen's sharp spirit, a little uneasy.

When JPMorgan Chase, Lehman Brothers and other financial institutions also expressed their intentions to OR, Wells Fargo could no longer sit still, and after several discussions, Wells Fargo finally agreed to Zhou Liwen's conditions for taking out 0% of the shares in exchange for Wells Fargo shares, and sent someone to contact Zhou Liwen to ask for the resumption of the negotiations

This time, Zhou Liwen did not meet directly with the other party again, but handed over the matter to his own lawyer team. In his opinion, the general framework has been agreed on anyway, and the most important thing is only the proportion of the share exchange. As for how many shares of Wells Fargo can be exchanged, Zhou Liwen has long been confident, and gave the lawyer team a number for them to talk to Wells Fargo. For this figure, Wells Fargo even admits that from a business point of view, the step of bargaining still needs to be pulled a bit. Zhou Liwen was not much interested in participating in this kind of tussile, because his energy was now focused on the first tablet that Liao Yuancheng had just taken out of the laboratory.

With Corning's new product, the OR R&D center laboratory finally came up with the first tablet sample, and with this sample in his hand, Zhou Liwen's feeling is not much different from that used in later generations. Except for the fact that it is slightly heavier in weight and the computer is a little slower due to the technical reasons of the current chip speed, the rest is acceptable.

In order to verify the performance of this tablet, especially the sensitivity of the touch screen, Liao Yuancheng deliberately installed a game software that is currently popular on smartphones: cutting fruits.

This game, Zhou Liwen did not play less in his previous life, and when smartphones became popular and the software app store was opened accordingly, some classic games from his previous life also followed. Among them, some of them were specially developed by Zhou Liwen in order to promote his own products, while some were made by other companies or individual studios. Just like this fruit-cutting game, it was developed by a company itself, and it is no different from the game in the previous life in terms of operation interface and gameplay.

Skillfully sliding your fingers across the screen, watching the falling and flying fruits being cut one by one, and when you reach a high score, the tablet will also respond to the corresponding vibration, so that the gamer feels a very energetic feeling.

I accidentally cut into the bomb, and the game ends as the screen fireworks go up in brilliant fireworks. Zhou Liwen put the tablet aside with a smile and nodded with satisfaction: "Yu is good, the machine responds very well, at least it performs well in this game." However, it just feels a little heavier and the speed seems to be slower. ”

"We are trying to solve these two problems." Liao Yuancheng took the tablet and said: "The main problem with the weight is the battery pack, as well as the shell material we are using now. The weight of the battery pack cannot be reduced for the time being, otherwise the use time will be reduced accordingly, but the shell material can be replaced by other lighter materials to reduce the weight of the whole machine while ensuring wear, strength and feel. ”

"Approximate reduction?" Zhou Liwen asked.

I can't answer this for the time being, because the performance of various materials has to be experimented one by one before we can finally determine which one to use. But I personally feel that it should be okay to reduce the weight by 0020 grams. ”

Zhou Liwen thought about this number and nodded slightly, although this weight reduction is still a bit heavy for the entire machine, but it should barely be enough for normal commercial use. Wait another two years, and when the battery technology is further enhanced, then the weight of the machine can be reduced one step further.

"What do you think about speed?"

Liao Yuancheng said with a smile: "The chip we use is already the best so far, and the speed reason has also been found in our laboratory, but our view is that the current chip can not reach a higher speed can be solved through software." ”

"Tell me about the specifics," Zhou Liwen asked.

Liao Yuancheng told Zhou Liwen that because the tablet and the smartphone use the same operating system, but because the tablet computer is a little different from the smartphone in terms of the structure and operation architecture of the whole machine, in the case of the operating system transplanted to the tablet, it will be somewhat incompatible with the chip, which affects the speed of the chip, that is, the running speed of the entire machine.

According to Liao Yuancheng, if there can be better and faster chips, such a small problem is not a problem, as long as a chip system is changed, it is enough to solve it. But at present, the chips they use are already the fastest in commercial use, and although it can be solved theoretically if replaced with a better professional chip, it is not worth it at all in business, because its cost is too high.

From this point of view, the best way to solve the problem is to optimize or even rewrite the operating system. Rewrite part of the code with the original operating system framework for the characteristics of tablets, so that the compatibility problem can be solved. To use a simple analogy, if two people wear the same size of clothes, although the taller person can barely put it on, but it is not very comfortable to wear, then the easiest way is to modify the clothes to fit the tall person when they can't change clothes for the time being.

"In terms of technology, the opinions of the R&D center shall prevail, and I agree with your consideration to optimize and partially rewrite the operating system." Zhou Liwen readily agreed and expressed his opinion.

Liao Yuancheng nodded happily, got up with the tablet and was about to go back to the R&D center to continue working. But as soon as he stood up, Zhou Liwen called out to him: "By the way, what system is Apple's tablet using now?" Have you ever heard of this? ”

"I don't know very well, I heard that it's also a development system, what's the problem?" Liao Yuancheng replied after thinking about it.

"Nothing wrong, just a little curious." Zhou Liwen smiled and said: "You send someone to feel the situation, maybe we can find some reference in their choice, which is of great benefit to us in the final finalization of the product." ”

"That's ...... too." Liao Yuancheng smiled and nodded: "I know, I will find a way to inquire." ”
