Chapter 505: Meeting
The Port Authority building is not very far from Manhattan, and the whole of Manhattan is full of skyscrapers, reaching into the sky, which looks spectacular.
A lot of people love New York because they love New York nights.
As the capital of the world on the west coast of the Atlantic, New York at night does have its own indescribable charm.
New Yorkers who are used to nightlife often say.
“night―is―still―young! The night is still long! ”
For these night owls, this city of old and trendy, quiet and warm looks more beautiful the more night it gets.
Kim Do-joon looked at the night scene of New York through the window, and he hadn't been here for a long time, and it didn't seem that anything had changed.
9-to-5 singles and tourists walking down the street with bags on their backs make up the workhorse of New York's nightlife.
Like everywhere else, New York's nightlife starts with eating and drinking, with thousands of restaurants and a dazzling array of signs at the door.
From American steaks to more sophisticated French and Italian cuisine, from Chinese cuisine to South American barbecue.
I still remember the feeling of Kim Do-joon when he first came to New York, walking on the street, the first feeling was.
There are many cars, people, taxis, and one-way streets, and it is like walking into a jungle of skyscrapers.
However, the subway station in New York is really bad, not to mention dirty, there is no air conditioning, and when I go to play in the summer, I sweat like rain and the heat is unbearable.
In general, to sum up New York in one sentence.
"This is a real city that never sleeps!"
As if the neon lights of the day were shining, it was still surging like a tide. From time to time, it is reflected on Kim Do-joon's face. With a strange look.
A moment of work. The car was parked in front of the Port Authority building, and when I looked closely, there were actually two black bodyguards standing there.
Gundam's figure, wearing a tight-fitting long trench coat and sunglasses, looked at Kim Do-joon's car with a grim expression.
I got out of the car, straightened my clothes a little, and walked up the steps to the gate.
“sir! It is not open to the public. Please come back for your inconvenience! ”
The black bald bodyguard on the left, with one hand in his arms, stretched out his hand and said politely.
Kim Do-joon squinted his eyes and glanced at him, there seemed to be something in his arms, but it was right to think about it, the United States was originally a country that legally owned guns, almost everyone had one, even though the gun ban had been recommended for so many years. It never passed.
Huge arms dealers who provide Congress with huge election funds. As long as it involves their interests, they will immediately unite and lobby the country to obstruct the gun ban.
So it's not surprising that bodyguards have guns.
Kim Do-jun's bodyguard also followed behind him, with a blank face and cold eyes, but in terms of figure, there is indeed a big gap, just like the big brother is looking at the little brother.
Kim Do-joon said fluently in English.
"I've made an appointment with Larry Page, so you can give me a call!"
I didn't want to embarrass them, they all acted according to the rules and regulations, and when I was just considerate, I still needed to understand them.
“ok! Wait! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he talked to the bodyguard next to him, opened the door and went in.
One hand rests on the headset and debriefs.
Before 1 minute was up, he immediately walked out, touched his nose, and said slowly.
"Mr. Larry Page, please come in!"
Kim Do-joon nodded, grinned, and muttered something in Korean.
"This guy's security measures are quite tight, a little underestimate him!"
As one of the top 10 richest people in the United States, Larry Page naturally has his own set of security personnel, from bodyguards, cars, travel, who to meet, and what kind of occasion he attends, he will explore the venue in advance, prepare a plan, and be foolproof.
After Kim Do-jun, Han Sung-ho, and Joshua entered in turn, the two bodyguards behind were directly stopped and said with a serious face.
"You two are not allowed to enter!"
"Why?"
Kim Do-joon turned around and immediately asked.
"We have our own rules, sorry, no comment!"
Kim Do-joon didn't say anything, this is Larry Page's territory, there is no need to be angry, besides, Kim Do-joon is not in South Korea, clean up those little artists in minutes, even if they fight, it doesn't matter, it's no big deal, Baek Chang-so will settle it for him.
He grinned, touched his chin, and whispered.
"You guys wait for me in the car, you don't have to come with me!"
Kim Do-jun lowered his head, put his hands in his pockets, walked over, grabbed the black bodyguard's tie, pulled it forward, stuck it on his big black face, and spoke.
"What kind of thing are you, talking to me in this tone, Larry Page doesn't dare to do this to me, polish your eyes, remember my face, don't see me like this next time, otherwise I'm really welcome!"
After Kim Do-jun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted the face of the black bodyguard, this kind of guy who looks down on people with dog's eyes, if it is not for Larry Page's face, he must teach him a lesson.
Shaking his head, he strode inside.
Going inside, Kim Do-joon found that Larry Page's security is really in place, and the gates, main entrances, and elevators are all guarded by bodyguards, is it necessary to be so tight? Is it an exaggeration, this is already the third wave I have seen.
I got on the elevator and went straight to the 6th floor, and as soon as I got out of the elevator door, I found that Larry Page was already standing at the door to welcome Kim Do-joon.
“jason! Long time no see, how are you doing lately! ”
Kim Do-joon stepped forward, and the two of them hugged each other, and responded while greeting each other.
"It's okay, I'm busy, I'm making a movie in New York during this time, and you have to come to cheer when the movie is released!"
Kim Do-joon responded with a slight smile.
Looking up and down, Larry Page is dressed more casually than himself, wearing a blue plaid shirt on the upper body, casual linen trousers on the lower body, and casual leather shoes, which has something to do with Google's corporate culture, not so restrictive, you can wear it however you want, even if you come to work naked, no one will care about you.
High-tech companies generally advocate free, democratic, and creative thinking, and do not have particularly strict requirements for systems and management.
Google, for example, has everything in its huge office, including game consoles, billiards rooms, sports halls, swimming pools, coffee shops, supermarkets, and everything you can't think of, just like a small community.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, but at Google, free is implemented down to the point of nuanced as part of the company culture.
Meals, fitness, massage, laundry, bathing, and medical treatment are 100% free of charge for employees.
There is a café on each floor where you can make coffee and snacks at any time, and there are various drinks in the large refrigerator, so you can drink them for free.
Employees are even allowed to bring their children and pets, which is unthinkable in many companies in the United States.
In addition, any important employee of the company has its own independent office, and each office can be decorated according to its own member, even if Larry Page, Brin, Schmidt, are not much different from other people, but the location is slightly better.
At Google, the purpose is only to innovate, and employees spend four percent of their time on the work they are interested in, but the success of the research must be sold to the company.
Every year, the winner of the employee innovation ability technology competition will be selected, and the prize money is $10,000, which is the real Google!
"Made a movie? So powerful? Then I'm going to go to the cinema and cheer you on! ”
Kim Do-jun smiled and shook his head, this guy is really much more polite than before, and he can speak.
looked at Joshua and Han Chenghao, and immediately introduced the people around him to him.
Han Chenghao has known each other for a long time, and the two of them simply shook hands and said hello, and it was OK.
As for Joshua, he is the object of Kim Do-joon's introduction.
“Joshua! My friend, who is also the CEO of KDJ Investments, is Larry Page, the founder of Google, and now not the CEO. Is it Sergey or Schmidt? ”
Google's troika takes turns to take on the position of CEO of the company, so Kim Do-joon sometimes doesn't understand who it is, and he touched the back of his head and was a little embarrassed.
"Hello, Mr. Larry Page, I'm Joshua, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hello! Joshua, I'm Paige! ”
The two shook hands happily, and just as they were about to let go, Joshua did not stop the movement of his hand, still holding him tightly.
Like an idolatro, staring at Larry Page with a sparkle in his eyes.
Larry Page had no choice but to glance at Kim Do-jun, with a look of help, hoping that he would hurry up and help.
When Kim Do-joon saw it, he immediately understood what he meant, interrupted the two people from the middle, and spoke.
"Okay, why are you holding it for so long, don't stand at the elevator entrance, go to the office and talk!"
Walking on the road, Larry Page hooked up Kim Do-joon's shoulder, and the two walked in front and suddenly chatted in a whisper.
"Jason, I invite you here today because I want to discuss something with you, but before I tell you about it, there is someone you need to meet!" (To be continued......)
