Chapter 471: It's New Year
(.) The cooperation between Samsung Group and Bell-Nokia United Company has put Zhou Liwen in a good mood, and with Aaron's operation, he has also made achievements in other aspects, which makes Zhou Liwen see the dawn of victory.
However, as Lee Kun-hee judged, Zhou Liwen is not arrogant enough to want to become the owner of Samsung. With the status of Samsung Group in South Korea, it is simply impossible for non-Korean businessmen to annex Samsung Group. For example, as with China's three barrels of oil, the Chinese government can allow foreign ownership of the three companies, but it will never allow foreign or foreigners to become the owners of the three companies.
This is the rule of the business game, and everyone in the business world knows what can be done and what cannot be done, what interests can be touched, and what cannot be touched. Although there is no explicit rule, everyone abides by this rule, and if you cross this red line, then no matter how strong you are, you will be hit in front of the iron wall and your head will be broken.
Therefore, Zhou Liwen never had the idea of controlling Samsung Group, he just wanted to influence the other party as a member of the board of directors of Samsung Group to ensure his absolute position in the smartphone industry. In addition, Zhou Liwen's purpose in tossing out the Bell-Nokia United Company is the same, this company he has been hiding behind the scenes, and he does not want people to know his connection with this company. Once the world knows that the IOB system and the new Symbian system are all the two major operating systems owned by Zhou Liwen, those politicians who regard monopoly as a thorn in their side will never spare him, just like Bill Gates's Microsoft was sued for monopoly, even if it can escape the monopoly charge, it will be a big blow to Zhou Liwen's company.
Not long after the signing of the agreement between Samsung Group and Bell-Nokia Joint Company, Zhou Liwen left the United States with his family and returned to Shanghai after a long absence.
This time I came back, mainly because the old people in the family missed it a little, although the living environment in the United States is relatively superior, and the air pollution is less, but no matter how good the place is, it is not as good as my hometown. A few months ago, both Zhou Liwen's parents and Lin Yaxuan's parents were thinking about going back to Shanghai to live for a few days, plus it happened that after New Year's Day was the traditional Spring Festival of the Chinese, the four old people discussed, and simply returned to Shanghai for the Spring Festival this year, and they could also meet old friends, visit relatives and friends, and so on. And Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan's little guy can also run and walk, plus there is no big deal recently, Zhou Liwen made a decision, so let's go back to stay together for a few days, so as soon as New Year's Day passed, their family returned to Shanghai by private jet.
Several houses in Huhai are still there, and Zhou Liwen will never sell these houses. In just a few years, the few mansions that were won at the price of cabbage have now risen wildly. Not to mention Zhou Liwen's largest mansion, even if it was the old house he bought for his parents, the current listing price is at least hundreds of millions, of course, this is not the United States, just RMB, but compared with the original purchase price, I don't know how many times it has doubled.
Although Zhou Liwen and the others are not in China, several suites in Huhai are taken care of by maids, which are no different from before they left. As soon as the four old people came back, they were like fish in water, meeting old friends, visiting relatives, visiting old colleagues in old units, and reuniting with old classmates.
Even Zhou Liwen was not idle, he received a call from Wang Jun as soon as he settled down in Huhai, and when he knew that Zhou Liwen's family was already in Huhai, he hurriedly asked Zhou Liwen to arrange time to attend the opening ceremony of their Foreign Chinese College.
"I said, you kid pull me to be a strong man" Zhou Liwen couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, to talk about this foreign Chinese college, or an investment project decided when Wang Jun's club opened two years ago, but Zhou Liwen only talked about a framework, and the specific investment was finally done by Zhou Bei's foundation.
From the preparation, site selection, opening, construction, completion to the later preparations, it took more than two years, the geographical location is near Wang Jun's club, although Zhou Liwen has not been there, but I have seen the photos of Wang Jun by email, the whole campus covers an area of 2 hectares, has a natural lakeside dock, the main building plus staff dormitories, gymnasiums and other 20,000 square meters, accept bilingual students from kindergarten to high school, the entire education program to Japan, Singapore, the United States, Europe and other places combined, It integrates the world's most advanced teaching curriculum, and also employs nearly 100 teachers from all over the world.
The completion of this foreign Chinese college can be said to be the most dazzling private bilingual school in Shanghai, and even in China. Moreover, this school also has the support of the Zhou Bei Foundation, coupled with the name of Zhou Liwen's brothers and sisters, it is said that it has attracted the attention of many wealthy people before it has officially opened. Not only are diplomats, businessmen, and factory owners in China eager to send their children to this school, but even the wealthy in China are spending a lot of money to get an enrollment form.
When he came back this time, Zhou Liwen was still low-key and didn't want to show his head too much. But who would have thought that in order to make the school famous, Wang Jun not only asked Zhou Bei to attend the opening ceremony, but even called Zhou Liwen directly.
"What do you mean by Lar Zhuangding, if you are a Zhuangding, then what am I? Don't become the king of heaven anymore? Wang Jun laughed on the phone and said: "Don't talk nonsense, don't forget that you are the honorary chairman of the school, and you want to hide from such a big event as the opening of the school?" No way"
"I'm scared of you." Zhou Liwen shook his head and smiled bitterly, asked the specific time and agreed to Wang Jun's request, anyway, when the time comes, it will just be a formality or something, anyway, he is not a big deal, and he will have to go with Lin Yaxuan and the children when the time comes.
Not long after I came back, the Spring Festival soon ushered in. The eldest son spent the Spring Festival in China when he was a child, but he was too young at that time to have no memory at all. As for the little guy, not to mention, he has never even come back to Huhai since he was born, and he has been living in the United States, this time during the Spring Festival, Zhou Liwen's family, including Zhou Bei and his wife, gathered in Zhou Liwen's mansion. Even Li Haifeng and his wife, who were in the south, came over on purpose, and then added Guo Tao and Pang Yishan, who came back for the New Year, plus their children.
Oh, at this time, I want to mention that Pang Yishan, an old comrade, is not old-hearted, and all these years of hard work have finally borne fruit, he and Anne have been married for all these years, and they have finally fired with a big gun and given birth to a big fat boy. The old man has a son, so that Pang Yishan is heart is happy, this kid is a year younger than Zhou Liwen's little guy, now is the time to babble, white and fat like Anne more, every time he sees Pang Yishan, Zhou Liwen has to make a few jokes with him, but Pang Yishan is not angry, but is very proud.
Thanks to Zhou Liwen's big place, there are nearly 20 people, plus several children, from the living room to the garden. On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Lin and his wife got up early, and Lin Ruofu and his wife, plus Li Haifeng and his wife, prepared a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen.
In order to make this meal, Li Xiaoyuan also deliberately went to the vegetable market to buy lard plates, and then made "black ocean sand" with black sesame seeds specially ground with small stone grinding. This thing is used to wrap gnocchi, although there are on-site gnocchi in the city, including the finished filling, but for Li Xiaoyuan and them, those things are all deceitful, and there is no authentic taste at all. Only by grinding the black sesame powder and lard board with a small stone mill by hand, and then slowly rubbing the dough, plus the glutinous rice dough of the water mill, can this make the most delicious, sweetest, and one bite is a bag of oil gnocchi.
For the parents' dedication to tradition, Pang Yishan and his wife are very appreciative, after all, compared with the mainland, Xiangjiang maintains some traditions very well. In order to show his hand, Pang Yishan also took the initiative to join the ranks, changed his clothes and made traditional Xiangjiang noodles with great interest. Anne watched her husband sweating and smashing meat with a board, holding the child with a happy face. It was Zhou Liwen who also planned to help, but they were unanimously kicked out by everyone, because the old people felt that Zhou Liwen's level was not to help at all, and it was almost the same to help.
"Brother, you come out too...
Finish? Looking at Zhou Liwen depressed and driven from the kitchen to the living room by his parents, Zhou Bei, who was sitting on the sand, said with Lin Yaxuan knocking melon seeds together. This girl is a mother, and she is as skinless and faceless as before, especially when she catches Zhou Liwen and is troubled
"Let me be on the side" Zhou Liwen sat next to her unceremoniously, and deliberately squeezed her side with his body. Zhou Bei was almost pushed by him, and hurriedly announced to Lin Ya on the side: "Sister-in-law, look at you, your husband is too domineering, if you don't sit in such a big place, you have to squeeze with me if you don't sit anywhere else, and let me make way for him." ”
"Hehe, he's your eldest brother, the eldest brother loves his sister and does his best, besides, this action is intimate" Lin Yaxuan where will Zhou Bei be, and immediately said with a smile.
"It's worthy of being my wife" Zhou Liwen gave Lin Yaxuan a thumbs up with a smile, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the coffee table: "Wife, eat melon seeds?"
"I want you to peel it for me ......."
"No problem, I'll strip ...... Open your mouth...... Woo ....... ”
Zhou Liwen and his wife deliberately showed Zhou Bei a big show of affection, and the angry Zhou Bei rolled her eyes and stepped on Ah Hao, who was chatting with Guo Tao. Ah Hao, who didn't know what was going on, screamed in pain on the spot, and then turned his head innocently to look at his wife who was huffing in anger in the eyes of everyone who didn't understand.
(It's New Year!) I wish you all good health and all the best for the Chinese New Year!)
