89. Chapter 89
Cheng Lele didn't know why, she suddenly felt distressed, but now she was still at the banquet, and she couldn't let her makeup go. Cheng Lele's eyes widened and he read Huo Yao's name over and over again.
"Lele ......" Huo Yao sighed lightly, he didn't know Cheng Lele's mood, he didn't want her to be sad, but he didn't know where to start.
“…… I just want to hear your voice and know that you're always there for me. Cheng Lele said cautiously.
A reckless phone call made the atmosphere between the two even more awkward, Cheng Lele felt that she had immediately changed from the confident white swan just now back to the ugly duckling, her handling of feelings was still so messy, she now regretted calling it.
This is not a good time to call, Cheng Lele and Huo Yao both have their own things, explaining what happened before seems to be another big project, the two of them were deliberately forgetting, and no one is willing to mention it at this time.
There was silence for a while, and the two seemed to have nothing to say.
"How's it going?" Huo Yao has nothing to say, he watches gossip news every day, hasn't he seen enough?
"Very good, lately...... A lot has happened. Cheng Lele wanted to talk about Yao Lele and what consortium, but when the words came to his lips, he was afraid that Huo Yao would be worried, so he swallowed back.
"Oh, that's good." Huo Yao's eyes were gloomy, didn't he need to explain Aaron's matter to him, did he think it was nothing, or was he no longer important?
"What about you? Busy lately? Cheng Lele once again regretted that he came to the United States impulsively, Huo Yao was in a critical period, no matter what the result of the two was, she wanted to accompany him through the difficult times.
"Okay." Huo Yao had never felt that his mouth was so clumsy.
"Hmm...... Someone seems to be calling me, I'm still in business. Bye? Cheng Lele himself felt that the excuse was very bad.
"Okay, then you go get busy, bye-bye."
Cheng Lele hung up the phone as if fleeing, the phone smashed into the railing, what was she doing, ahhhhhh
Huo Yao didn't seem to hate her as she thought, Cheng Lele was glad that she still had a chance, the first thing was to break the deadlock between the two. Forget it, when the matter here is clear, let's fly to Hong Kong.
Cheng Lele hugged his arms with both hands and rubbed the cold air on his body. Keep her chest up, take a deep breath, put on her mask, and head back to her Vanity Fair.
Aaron and Cheng Lele have a secret tryst on the balcony at a dinner party. Thinking they were sneaky, they didn't know that they were being watched all the time, this little couple was so cute. The high-definition video of Cheng Lele and Aaron has been posted on the Internet as early as half an hour ago, not only the scene of the two biting their ears, but also Aaron leaning towards Cheng Lele, from the perspective of the paparazzi, the two seem to be kissing. Before the advent of TMZ, such a shot was quite out of place for a celebrity gentleman in high society.
As soon as Huo Yao hung up his phone, he saw the latest gossip news released by TMZ, and it became a habit for him to log on TMZ's website recently, and his joy was instantly poured out.
"Young master, why are you still here, the chairman mentioned you at the meeting." Yan Jun hurriedly looked around, but he didn't expect Huo Yao to be hiding here in a daze.
"Father can do whatever he wants, and does he still have my consent?" Although Huo Yao said this, he still strode towards the conference room.
Yan Jun glanced at Huo Yao with some concern, didn't speak, just followed Huo Yao quickly. When he arrived at the door of the conference room, Yan Jun stepped in front of Huo Yao and helped him push the door open.
Suddenly, all the shareholders looked at Huo Yao, and after a moment of silence, the whispers gradually increased.
Huo Yao nodded perfunctorily at Huo Jiang, without squinting, and walked towards his position.
"Brother." When Huo Yao passed by Huo Yi's location, Huo Yi called Huo Yao a little nervously.
Huo Yao is far from being as calm as he appears on the surface, everyone has a strange look on his face, mockery, schadenfreude, pity, guilt and other expressions, even if he can't guess what it is, but there is definitely no good thing, but he has to endure it.
"Now that Huo Yao has arrived, then I will repeat it again. In order to show my fairness and impartiality as the chairman, I propose that the general election of the chairman of the board of directors every five years in the future will be changed to a triennial term, that is to say, from the previous term, June this year will be the new general election. Huo Jiang said loudly.
Huo Yao heard contempt and charity from it, and except for Huo Jiang, everyone's eyes were on Huo Yao.
Huo Yao was secretly contacting the directors before, wanting to change the rules of the general election, Huo Yao was persuaded by Yan Jun, but Huo Jiang took the initiative to bring it up. This is a public slap in the face and humiliation, Huo Jiang despised Huo Yao's behavior in front of the entire Huo family: Your little trick is not enough in front of me, warn Huo Yao not to try to escape from his control.
Even people who don't know Huo Yao's small movements understand that since Huo Yao came back, Huo Yao and Huo Jiang are incompatible, and the internal struggle of the Huo family began in advance.
What is the thickest and thickest skinned businessman. The teenage Huo Yao may have been raised to be as noble as a prince, and he would be angry and embarrassed when he heard the news, but since Huo Yi appeared, Huo Yao was surrounded by cynicism and ridicule around him, and he had long been accustomed to those people holding high and low eyes and words, being said a few words, being looked at twice, and not losing a piece of meat, and he would win in the end.
Huo Yao's gaze swept around the crowd leisurely, he couldn't move Huo Jiang, even if he couldn't move Huo Jiang, would he still be provoked by these directors. Huo Yao gave a standing ovation first, propped up the table with both hands, and overwhelmed the people present with a condescending momentum, "What are you looking at me for, I agree with the chairman's suggestion, what about you?" ”
was poked out of his mind by Xiao Maotou, who was in his twenties, and several older directors couldn't stand it, coughed, and then applauded, "Agree." ”
Meng Jiazhu sneered, these directors all wanted to take advantage of Huo Jiang and Huo Yao's fight to lose both and profit from it, but they didn't want to think about it, Huo Jiang had suppressed them for so many years, Huo Yao was Huo Jiang's son, and what kind of good goods he was. If you want to say something like it, it's still Huo Yao like Huo Jiang.
……
"Miss Cheng, I'm in." Jason, the manager of Yao Lele's LA branch, had just returned from YouTube and came directly to Cheng Lele's office.
"Please take a seat," Cheng Lele hurriedly stood up to greet him, Jason was the senior manager she found from KPCB, Jason was at odds with the current president of KPCB, and he was squeezed out by KPCB for the past two years, so he was introduced to her by Aaron, Cheng Lele regarded Jason as a teacher in venture capital management, "It seems that the progress is not going well." ”
"Sequoia is competing with us for this, Miss Cheng, do you know!" Jason was so excited that his gestures were exaggerated, "You know what! ”
"Well, do you mean good or bad?" Cheng Lele smiled at Jason with some confusion.
"I'm appreciating your vision, the core of style investment is the quality of the project, the others are **, even Sequoia can open high-priced projects, won't it make a lot of money, but now the bad side is that we are competing with Sequoia, I think we can be out." Jason said with some regret.
"Jason, did your old employer, KPCB, also stop when they encountered Sequoia?" The news brought by Jason is really bad, Cheng Lele has long known that Sequoia may compete with Yao Lele, but since Sequoia has acted, it means that some of Yao Lele's shares are bound to be sold.
After testing Aaron last time, Cheng Lele has some trust in Aaron's words, the key is that if Hughes or other large companies want to acquire Yao Lele's shares, they don't need to go around such a big circle, then the only explanation is that the other party is united by many companies.
The interests that can unite many groups must be huge, they are not just a relationship of owning shares with each other, rights and interests must be connected to the right, and the group needs to seek power if it has interests, so she believes that part of Aaron's words, this joint group is trying to control the power of the state, that is, the government. It's just that she doesn't trust where the Hughes family is in this consortium, whether it's a confrontation as Aaron puts it, or if it's a part of it.
"Of course, KPCB will fight Sequoia to the end, but that's KPCB, I think Yao Lele's strength should not be as good as KPCB." Jason said bluntly.
"What is the strength of KPCB made of, the long history and rich record can be made up by time, in addition to these, I think its shareholding structure is an important part of supporting its strength, Yao Lele lacks this, am I right?" Cheng Lele held Jason's thoughts, trying to hint at something.
"Uh-huh... Miss Cheng mentioned equity? I want to say... Will Yao Lele's equity also change? Jason asked.
Cheng Lele didn't speak, just looked at Jason with a smile, and Jason immediately thought that Cheng Lele had been dating Aaron recently, "Could it be that the Hughes family will inject money into Yao Lele?" ”
Seeing that Cheng Lele was silent, Jason acquiesced, "Although it is not enough to have only Northpool Company as the backing, but Northpool Company is willing to inject capital, then other large groups are also willing to inject capital in Yaolele, Yao Lele's background may be able to fight against Sequoia, of course, I only said that Yao Lele can give it a try, after all, Yaolele is a new company, and it is far worse than Sequoia......"
Cheng Lele saw Jason chattering excitedly, and he didn't feel guilty at all, this is what Jason himself thinks, she didn't say anything,
