(.) Chambers's party was held at Beverly Hills in Hollywood, not far from Chow's home.

Originally, Zhou Liwen also thought about a Beverly Hills mansion when he bought a house in Los Angeles, but considering that there are too many movie stars and public figures living in this place, there are often some paparazzi from time to time, and Zhou Liwen is a person who likes to be quiet and does not like to mix these things, so he finally bought his current residence in other places.

Since it was a cocktail party, it was natural for Lin Yaxuan and Zhou Liwen to attend together. Westerners bring a female companion on such occasions, and it is rude not to have one. Therefore, there are often some beautiful girls gathered outside the venue of a cocktail party like this, and they are all here to try their luck, and if you happen to meet someone who does not have a female companion and wants to find a temporary female companion, you can choose one of them to accompany you. If the girl who was picked is lucky and meets a big person, or a big producer, a director, or something, she may be able to use this opportunity to get a role or something in a certain film, and she will soar from then on.

I heard him talk about these things when he was on vacation at Chambers Ranch before, and Zhou Liwen was a little surprised at first, thinking that this was almost the same as choosing a young lady in a domestic entertainment venue. But after Chambers explained to him, he realized that this kind of temporary female companion is very common in the United States, especially in Hollywood, and the person who chooses a temporary female companion has no other ideas, just the nature of accompanying himself as a temporary female companion, and when he enters it, everyone will take care of their own affairs, and there is no such thing as Zhou Liwen's mind at all. Of course, it is not excluded that the selector and the selector will talk about speculation, so that something will happen or something, but even then you are willing, and there will be no direct money transaction.

In the evening of the same day, Zhou Liwen was wearing formal clothes, and Lin Yaxuan, who was wearing an evening dress, rushed to the venue in the car driven by Carl. As expected, when about a kilometer away from the location, there were more than a dozen girls in evening dresses and dressed up in fancy clothes at a corner, and it was estimated that these were the so-called "temporary female companions".

Of course, Zhou Liwen's car would not stop, and drove directly over, and soon arrived in front of a mansion. After a brief pause at the gate, Carl handed the invitation to the doorman, who looked at the invitation and pressed the remote control to open the door, and the car drove in through the slowly opening gate.

The mansion occupies a large area, and the place where the reception is held is not indoors, but in the corner of the lawn outside. Spring is all year round in California, and January is a pleasant month to have a drinking party on the lawn.

The car stopped, Zhou Liwen pulled Lin Yaxuan out of the car, and Carl then drove the car to the parking lot and waited for the end of the drinking party to pick up Zhou Liwen and them. With brisk steps, Zhou Liwen stepped on the lawn, and walked over there with Lin Yaxuan talking and laughing as he walked.

When he first arrived at the location, Chambers, who was talking to someone, saw him, smiled and said something to the people around him, and then Chambers greeted him.

"BVC, my friend, long time no see."

"Hello John......." Zhou Liwen and Chambers hugged each other in a Westerner way, and then introduced him: "This is my wife Lin Yaxuan.

"Beautiful lady, it's a great pleasure to meet you, BVC and I mentioned you, it's a pity that we haven't had time to get to know each other, today is really a suitable occasion." Although Chambers is not young, he still speaks funny, and greets Lin Yaxuan very gentlemanly.

"Mr. Chambers, Arwen also mentions you a lot, and it's a pleasure to know you." Lin Yaxuan responded generously.

"No, no, don't call me sir, call me John like BVC."

"Okay John, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chambers hugged Lin Yaxuan with a smile on his face, and then beckoned Zhou Liwen and said, "Let's go, there are a lot of old friends and some new friends today, I'll take you to get to know them." ”

Chambers took Mr. and Mrs. Zhou to meet with a few guests, and of course today's protagonist, Senator Michael, was indispensable. As a member of the Republican Party, coupled with the emerging rich people who appeared in Time magazine, there are many people who know Zhou Liwen. In particular, Senator Michael was very happy about Zhou Liwen's arrival, and chatted with Zhou Liwen with great interest for a while. Of course, Zhou Liwen also knows that this senator is actually a political figure supported by the party, and he is also one of the spokespersons of the Chambers family, Zhou Liwen is now basically the same as Chambers's political tendency, and Chambers's invitation to this cocktail party means that Zhou Liwen is also very clear, just want him to support this senator together, and he does not refuse this kind of support, and it is very appropriate to show this meaning in the conversation, which makes Senator Michael and Chambers very happy.

Mr. Senator is busy, and new guests arrive soon. After saying sorry to Zhou Liwen, he turned around and greeted the guest. Seeing that he was busy in order to win over the rich, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but feel that it is not easy to be a politician in the United States, which is almost the same as the managers of advertising companies in China who attract investment in advertising.

After the senator left, Chambers took Zhou Liwen around the neighborhood, and only then did Zhou Liwen ask the owner of the mansion, and it seemed that he did not see the owner appear from the beginning.

"The master is not here, he is usually in Nashville, and it is the same today, this place is temporarily lent to the party for use." Chambers told Zhou Liwen with a smile that Lin Yaxuan curiously asked the name of the owner on the side, and after Chambers answered, he learned that the owner here was Fred, who was famous in Hollywood and political circles in the United States. Thompson.

Learned that the host was Fred. Thompson, Zhou Liwen is also suitable, Fred. Thompson is a well-known American actor, but also a politician, a rising political star of the Republican Party, and once served as a senator from Tennessee. As a member of the Republican Party, Fred. Thompson was very active in politics, so it was normal for him to temporarily lend his Hollywood mansion as the venue for this reception.

Lin Yaxuan accompanied Zhou Liwen and them around, and saw that Chambers seemed to have something to say to Zhou Liwen, she smiled and said to Zhou Liwen that she wanted to go by herself, Zhou Liwen nodded, and asked her not to go too far, and then Lin Yaxuan temporarily went to the place where the ladies gathered on the other side to watch the excitement.

"Your wife is very good" Seeing Lin Yaxuan leave, Chambers praised with some envy.

Zhou Liwen shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you still need to say this?" That's my wife."

"Haha, yes yes." Chambers smiled dumbly and nodded. Then he beckoned to the waiter and asked for two glasses of wine, handed Zhou Liwen a glass, and the two touched glasses and tasted the wine.

"BVC, do you have any ideas for putting OR public?" Chambers asked with a smile.

Zhou Liwen was not surprised to hear this, and immediately smiled: "I know that you let me participate in this drinking party is definitely not as simple as meeting Senator Michael, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Looking at Zhou Liwen's calm expression, Chambers's eyes flashed with appreciation, and then said: "The United States is a capital country, capital represents everything, capitalists control banks, banks control Wall Street, Wall Street then affects the whole world's finance, as an emerging high-tech company, or company has reached the bottleneck of development, if you want to borrow the power of capital to continue to expand the company at a high speed, listing is an inevitable trend." Of course, I know that there are some conservative companies that never go public, but you have to be aware that none of these companies are IT companies, and most of them are traditional structures. What's more, if you go public, you will not only get more allies, but also get a huge fortune from it, and maybe it won't be long before you have more wealth than Microsoft's Bill. ”

Zhou Liwen smiled noncommittally, Bill. Gates is known as the richest man in the world and the richest man in the world, but in fact, in the eyes of real capital, he is just a character who has been selected. Not to mention the whole world, just in the United States, some invisible rich man has much more wealth than him. What's more, Bill. Gates' main wealth is converted into his Microsoft stock, which is very much more water, in a sense, Zhou Liwen now has far more cash in his hand than the other party, but his company has not yet been listed, so it is underestimated a lot from this aspect.

As Chambers said, OR listing has many benefits for Zhou Liwen, one of which is, of course, the increase in wealth. As the world's No. 1 smartphone brand, it is normal for Zhou Liwen's wealth to increase several times or even more after OR goes public. Second, Chambers also said that going public can gain many allies, that is, allowing the company to increase its shareholders to reduce certain risks and improve its resistance to risks.

Of course, once listed, Zhou Liwen's shares will be reduced, at present, Zhou Liwen's shares after multiple share exchanges, the proportion of shares directly and indirectly owned by 6 If it needs to be listed, Zhou Liwen's share ratio will continue to decline, it is estimated that it will be reduced to about 30%, from this point of view, it is equivalent to Zhou Liwen's control of OR from the original absolute controlling stake to relative control, once some changes occur in the future, he may even lose control of OR.

However, this is only a theoretical basis, the larger the company, the more dispersed the equity, and the proportion of equity in the control company does not need to be so much. Not to mention 3%, even if it is 3% or even lower, to some extent, it is normal to control a listed company to obtain a controlling stake.

"Tell me about your suggestions." Zhou Liwen pondered for a moment, he still wanted to hear what Chambers planned first, he didn't think that Chambers was really kind to his own sake, he must have some interest in proposing this listing, Zhou Liwen had to figure out the whole situation.

(Ask for votes!) The more the merrier!)
