After staying with Yan Fangqing for a while, Zhou You came to the outside of the office again. Xu Yanlin stared at the screen a little blankly, nestled in the sofa motionless, obviously suffering a strong impact in her heart.
Zhou You, who was nearly two meters tall, stood in front of her, leaned down, looked at her who was a little weak, and said: "We once had an unforgettable past, but all this has gradually faded with the passage of time. Burying everything is what we should do now, instead of taking these things out and hyping them up over and over again. I have no regrets about this history, and as a person I once loved, I will not treat ...... like an enemy."
She looked at Zhou You's indifferent face and asked a little weakly, "Then what are you going to let me do?" ”
I just knew that I wanted to have another child, the sun was shining outside the window, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the mood of traveling around was very happy. At this time, seeing Xu Yanlin's weakness, he felt that he was a little excessive. Even many big people can't bear the pressure they bring, let alone a weak woman like her.
Zhou You softened his tone and said: "When I go back, I will resign from Taili, and then go to the United States, or go to South Korea for training for a period of time." Whether you want to learn TV production or become a star, I will help you arrange it. When I return to China, you can choose the TV station you want to work with, and you can join the film and television company if you want to, but we can't take out our past and fry it anymore. I haven't lived in that house in CITIC for a few days in total, and I'll arrange for it to be transferred to your name when I go back, and that's the end of it, understand? ”
The apartment in CITIC Plaza is one of the most luxurious apartment buildings in Yangcheng, and it is a luxury apartment on the top floor, which is now sold for more than 30,000 square meters, and it is still priceless, because there is no room at all.
However, although the housing price of several million is a lot, compared to the identity of Zhou You and Xu Yanlin's requirements, it is not too handy. However, Xu Yanlin knows very well that Zhou You's real gift is not this house, but the life arranged for her, as long as she becomes a little bit more successful, according to the trajectory that Zhou You planned for her, her life will definitely have a qualitative change.
In the past, she was just a host with a little bit of grace, and in the entire entertainment industry, not to mention being at the bottom, at most she only belonged to the middle stream. But in the future, she also has the support of resources, whether she wants to become a first-class star or a powerful producer, it is a breeze, and it depends on her own choice in which direction to develop.
However, these are not without a price, she must not take out her and Zhou You's affairs in the future, and even she and Zhou You can no longer maintain that friendship.
However, everything is worth it.
In the face of Zhou You's strength, under this huge pressure, it was beyond her expectations to have such a good result. So, she even nodded a little impatiently. "When I go back, I cancel my plan to publish a book with the publisher, and I won't talk about our past again."
Zhou You shook his head and smiled: "I don't care about the details, I only care about the result." ”
successfully solved Xu Yanlin's matter, and asked Rodriguez to contact her directly to solve the problems she left behind, and asked the crew to send her back to Yangcheng.
On October 14, the Airbus 380, which had been delayed by Airbus for two months, finally flew to Singapore, and so far, Singapore has become the country with the most Airbus 380 in the world. Because in addition to the 380 that traveled around, the Airbus 380 delivered by Airbus was also ordered by Singapore Airlines.
The Airbus 380 is currently the most luxurious civil aircraft in the world, and it is also the largest private jet. Before it was delivered to Zhou You, it had been widely disseminated by the media around the world, and countless media reporters used various connections to find out the details of the plane, and spread it to the world.
Originally, this plane could carry more than 800 people at most, but it was only arranged in a cabin of about 100 people on the lower deck, and each seat was separated to form a private space, and all of them used the most luxurious massage seats, standing up as a seat, and lying down as a bed. Each location is equipped with state-of-the-art recreational facilities.
Due to the use of independent satellite signals, this aircraft will not have to turn off its mobile phone when it gets on the plane like civil aviation, and can maintain uninterrupted network and communication signals. Even, the aircraft has reserved an independent satellite access port, which can directly connect with the data center of the company's headquarters in the future to control the ten satellites launched by Zhouyou.
On the upper floor, all are separate rooms with multiple bedrooms, guaranteeing that everyone in the traveling family has their own room, as well as entertainment rooms and office areas for different functions.
In the cargo compartment, there is only a small luggage compartment, but there are 12 parking spaces, which can carry eleven small cars and a bulletproof minibus, which is convenient for traveling to any country and can use its own fleet.
With so many features, the price of this aircraft is certainly not cheap, it is 60 million more expensive than the 290 million of the base model, reaching 350 million, and at this price alone, you can buy the most luxurious Gulfstream G650 business jet.
Of course, this price is already the highest in the field of civil aircraft, but it is nothing compared to fighters with high-tech technology. Many military aircraft in the United States cost more than this aircraft.
Alwaleed, an old friend of Zhou You, also booked an Airbus 380 with Zhou You, he was even more exaggerated than Zhou You, according to Zhou You's design style, he also built his plane into a flying palace, and also prepared an extra Turkish bath and prayer room, plus his plane used almost a ton of gold, and the cost was 30 million US dollars more than Zhou You's plane.
On 16 October, the Airbus 380 made its maiden flight, and after more than five hours of flight, Zhou You landed at the Capital International Airport.
The people in the mainland have made all-round reports on the plane purchased by Zhou You, and the content of various media reports is full of a strong sense of pride.
However, the circumambulatory convoy drove six luxury cars with diplomatic license plates from countries around the world. These licenses are all diplomatic licenses issued by South American countries for Zhou You, and the drivers are also trusted security guards for Zhou You, and they have obtained the status of regular diplomats, even if there are some violations abroad, they don't have to worry too much about being enforced.
The plane flew directly to Rongcheng with Yan Fangqing, and the rescue work after the catastrophe has come to an end, and now it is time to rebuild. Yan Fangqing's foundation has also helped build some projects in the disaster area, and now it is time to start construction.
Although Zhou You did not donate a penny, his expenses this time have reached 1.5 billion yuan, and if you count some aid projects in the later period, Zhou You's expenses will exceed 2 billion yuan.
At this time, seeing the bills of Zhou You, the people in the mainland knew that Zhou You had spent so much money this time.
During the ceremony, the attacks of the small media in China on Zhou You were all silenced, and they all began to praise Zhou You. Zhou You knows very well that this is the mainland's return for some of his help in this financial crisis, and both sides don't care about the amount of money or the amount of money, the key is still a matter of attitude.
Those charities that used to be full of opinions about Zhou You no longer dare to have any attack on Zhou You, and these people who are engaged in politics are more sensitive than anyone else, and they know exactly what to do at this time. If they hadn't been so discerning, they would not have survived the previous anti-corruption campaigns.
The purpose of traveling to the mainland this time was for his satellite career. The satellites built for him in China have all been completed, and these satellites will be launched after debugging and testing.
"Evan, you are the chairman of Tmall and the largest shareholder of Tmall, so you can't ignore Tmall's affairs like outsiders. South Korea's action against Tmall is aimed at curbing our growth in South Korea and protecting their own retail businesses. I can't handle it now, and I still need you to do it yourself. ”
Looking at Liu Qidong, who was pretending to complain on the other side, Zhou You couldn't help laughing. In fact, his current fame is not much lower than in his previous life, in his previous life, he was pressed by Brother Ma all his life, but now he has been pressing Brother Ma, speaking of which, he is much more beautiful than in his previous life.
In the regular development of Tmall, Zhou You generally rarely participated, and now he pays the most attention to Tmall is Tmall's tariff negotiations with countries around the world. Because if you want to develop into a world-class international e-commerce, the most critical issue is the tariff issue.
In the previous life, until 2016, there was no real international e-commerce, although the major e-commerce companies have been actively promoting internationalization, but all e-commerce has not been able to achieve global procurement, global sales.
Since its rebirth, Zhou You has always had this ideal, wanting to turn Tmall into a real international e-commerce.
In fact, the biggest problem is not the issue of tariffs, but the protection of small enterprises in their own countries, which is related to the economy of their own countries, so no country dares to let go easily.
The high quality and low prices of small commodities, household appliances, electronic products, clothing and textiles in the mainland have become a flood beast feared by all countries in the world, and if the market is liberalized, the goods in the mainland will directly crush the small enterprises in their own countries.
In particular, Europe, the United States and some developed countries and regions, in order to protect their own domestic enterprises, will definitely not easily open this opening.
However, in addition to small commodities, those agricultural products, or superior products, want to enter the largest market in the hinterland, so the key is to rely on negotiations and gradually expand trade channels.
However, for some countries with weak basic industrial strength and most of the industrial goods need to be imported, the emergence of Tmall is beneficial to them. For example, some countries in South America and Africa almost unconditionally want to join the Tmall family, because not only can they buy cheap industrial products, but they can also sell their own products directly through Tmall to all over the world.
For example, in countries such as Peru in South America, Tmall has entered their country almost without much negotiation. Their citizens can buy T-shirts for three to five dollars a piece through the Tmall network, just like the people in China, but originally, they bought them in China for at least eight dollars or more, and the quality is not as good as these goods in the mainland.
Their businesses and merchants can also sell their own specialties directly on Tmall after being vetted by Tmall, and those plant-based products such as coffee, maca, and tobacco can be sold directly to customers in the mainland.
Argentina, in particular, reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Tmall even earlier than Colombia, and the tariffs on goods from the mainland to Argentina are pitifully low, and their beef, grain, canned food, milk, milk powder, and handicrafts are also sold directly to customers in the mainland.
That alone added $2 billion to Argentina's sales to the mainland in 2008. Moreover, these goods do not have to be exploited by large importers and exporters for most of their profits, directly increasing the income of their population.
Of course, the current opening of this channel is not too big, because if you want to do this, the price paid by Tmall is not small at all, and now it is almost losing money.
If you want to sell goods from two different countries directly, there are customs customs, language customs, payment customs, logistics customs, and storage customs that are directly related to the items alone.
First of all, tariffs on various goods need to be negotiated between the two countries, and the selling price of Tmall will be directly sold with tariffs, which requires different commodity exports and pages, and the pressure on the Tmall website is huge.
Secondly, the research and development of translation software, if you want to allow a mainland customer who does not know Spanish to communicate directly with an Argentine merchant who does not understand Chinese, the requirements for translation software are very high. Not to mention the translation software in the mainland, even the translation software of Google and Microsoft, the current functions and accuracy do not meet the requirements.
Comparatively speaking, the payment gateway is currently the least restricted, as Alipay has developed into a truly international payment platform. Not to mention the others, just the ten banks in which Zhou You now has a stake have been able to achieve exchange rate conversion and payment requirements between each other.
However, the biggest difficulty is storage and transportation, which is difficult to scale up all at once, even with Tmall's deep pockets.
Argentina, for example, is one of the world's largest exporters of grain and meat, and its exports are mainly agricultural products, leather products, and handicrafts. The difficulty in transporting agricultural products, the difficulty in storing meat products, and the need to expand the scale of Tmall are so great that ordinary people can't imagine it.
Because of this constraint, in order to truly realize the seamless connection of goods between the two countries, the management level of Tmall has also reached a very high requirement. At present, Tmall can only open an opening, learning and developing at the same time.
For complementary countries, Tmall is definitely a good platform for economic development between the two countries. But for some homogeneous countries, Tmall has also received a lot of resistance, such as South Korea, which is an obvious example.
South Korea's dominant products are electronics and cultural products, and then, almost all other products have no advantages. They can do it without relying on Tmall, but the goods sold on Tmall have had an almost earth-shaking impact on the industries they protect in their home country.
Taking meat as an example, the price of pork and beef in China has reached two or three hundred yuan a kilogram, but the ordinary beef sold in Argentina is 30 yuan a kilogram, a difference of ten times.
For ordinary people, of course, they are willing to buy foreign beef, even if it is frozen, but for domestic farmers, this price is a fraction of their cost, and if this is opened, almost all of their domestic aquaculture will go bankrupt.
South Korea must not allow its stomach to be controlled by foreigners, so that it will not be hard to speak in the future. Therefore, in such a country, Tmall wants to develop, and the resistance it faces is also amazing.
