Chapter Ninety-One: Racial Talent
"Hey, I heard you weren't invited to Paige's wedding."
"I'm very busy at work, so I don't have time to join in the fun!"
"I heard you've been marginalized at Google?"
"Who said that? How can it be! ”
"I've also heard that you've been unhappy lately."
"Where did you hear so much? What else have you heard? Mayer whispered impatiently on the other end of the line, the words clearly poking her in pain.
Chen Bo was unmoved and smiled on the phone, "At the Oscars, I still lack a female partner, how about it, haven't you participated?" Brother will take you to a long experience! ”
"Phew, you're so kind? What about your big star girlfriend, and what princess is there? Oh, and McLaren's Korean chicks...... Anyway, it's too much! ”
"Yo, jealous, what are you?" Chen Bole couldn't help it, "Anyway, I'll invite you, can you come or not?" ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then he replied, "Wait, my mother wants you to look good!" ”
Then there was a blind beep, and Mayer hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Angelina's bulging abdomen has become more and more rounded, and she has said goodbye to beautiful dresses and beautiful makeup. But none of this matters, and with her personality, she doesn't care. But the most important thing is that Oscar is tiring, even if you're just an ordinary melon eater.
No matter who wins the award, the audience has to give a standing ovation, and it takes dozens of times to get a game, which is definitely a test for pregnant women.
Why do you think of Mayer at this time? Just because she is unsatisfactory at Google, a Shirley is poached, and what about another vice president?
Because of Shirley's matter, the two sides have long been tense and facing off in court. But in the end, it didn't work, because Shirley was directly responsible for the wireless department after he arrived, and you Google didn't get involved in the mobile communications business, right? This is not a violation of the non-compete agreement, so you can only stop and suffer a dumb loss.
As for Mayer's marginalization at Google, Chen Bo is not surprised.
She is too strong and powerful, and even Page, the founder, will be reprimanded by her like a grandson when she is working, although she is capable, but she is not mellow enough.
And she is only the 20th employee of Google, and there are veterans above her, Google is no longer the small workshop crammed into a garage to start a business, it is a large company with a market value of nearly $60 billion on the NASDAQ and nearly 10,000 employees.
When everyone was upset with her paranoid and hard-line way of working, no matter how much she contributed, the two founders, Page and Brin, chose to consider the opinion of the majority at the expense of her alone.
Although Page's wedding was not grand, it was only held on a private island in the Caribbean, and only some relatives and friends were invited to attend, but almost all the senior executives of the entire company went, but she was not invited to attend, and she was not the prince who left the prison country, so it was strange that she had no ideas in her heart.
Mayer's dilemma has spread throughout Silicon Valley, and Chen Bo can't help but understand the reason, although other companies have ideas, no one dares to dig them, and they mainly wait and see.
Isn't this a great gift from Peppa, how can he not laugh at it?
A week before the Oscars, Hollywood Boulevard was closed, and the venue was set up in advance.
At this time, far away in Paris, France, Vivendi headquarters officially held a press conference, announcing that after three months of arduous negotiations, Vivendi's board of directors accepted Orange Entertainment's offer to acquire Universal Music for $6.8 billion, and the two parties have submitted the details of the acquisition plan to the review committees of the European Union and the United States for final approval.
The bald Vivendi president Jean Fortu looked relaxed, and he was very glad to get rid of a burden, Vivendi still had a Blizzard Entertainment in his hand, and he didn't make much money and forced away the Dark Four, Blizzard's market valuation is high, and it is difficult for ordinary companies to afford the price, which is estimated to be enough for him to have a headache.
Sitting next to him is the smiling Chinese female president Guan Xin, and on the other side is David Geffen with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
If it's really a safflower, it still needs green leaves, and in front of the two of them, Guan Xin is even more delicate.
In this acquisition plan, Geffen participated in the whole process and formulated the plan, and at the last moment, he took out his own $2 billion to participate in the shares, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
At the same time in Malibu, a group of children in the garden stood in a row according to their height and appearance under Chen Bo's teaching.
"All of them! Align with the right! Attention...... At ease! ”
"Yes, I'm satisfied." Chen Bo stood in front of them with his head held high, put his hands behind his back, and began his lecture: "From today onwards, in order to cultivate your independent spirit and the habit of being sensitive and studious, you will hereby promulgate family rules!" ”
"What's the house rule?" Jinyu has reached the age of changing her teeth, and her mouth is full of wind, and the key is that the Northeast flavor is still very pure.
Chen Bo glared at her and then continued, "First, in the future, each person will only have $5 per week of pocket money. Second, you have the opportunity to earn pocket money every day, and different jobs will have different pay. Third, if you don't do it well, not only will you not be rewarded, but you will also be fined! ”
"Huh? How to make money! Jinyu, who was still relatively quick to react, asked.
"If you help with the housework three times a day, you will be paid $5. Teaching younger siblings to learn Chinese characters, learning English can earn $6 per hour, learning to recite an ancient poem for $8, and completing a painting for $10. If you can complete a Chinese essay, you will get $20. Chen Bo glanced at her little face as a fan of money, and then said, "In addition to your daily necessities, snacks, toys, and dog food are all purchased with your pocket money, if anyone's dog starves to death, it is your own responsibility!" ”
"Uncle Chen, how much is $5? Do I want to participate too? Liu Xu raised his hand and asked, Liu Yuan went to Dubai to work, and this kid followed him to Los Angeles, not only a little sister but also a little sister, he didn't know how proud he was.
"$5 is $40, of course you have to participate, and I've told your mom that you're not allowed to give you pocket money."
Chen Bo looked at the expressions on the faces of these bear children, not to mention how interesting. There are those who are depressed, those who are anxious, those who are excited, and even those who roll their eyes and start thinking about how to make money.
"Here's your pocket money for the week!" Chen Bo then distributed three 1 yuan bills and one 2 yuan note to each person. If you give a single 5 yuan, it is not convenient to circulate in their small circle, but also seems thinner, and they will not realize the importance of money at all.
Chen Bo then said, "Then there is an opportunity to make money now, do you want it?" ”
"Yes!"
"When you see this field, we are sowing and watering here. Whoever does well will be rewarded with $5, and if it is fast and good, they will be rewarded with $7!! ”
In the corner of the garden, about half an acre of land was newly turned, and Chen Bo displayed his racial talent, and began the process of labor with a group of little dolls holding small buckets and shovels. I have to say that under this reward and punishment mechanism, their enthusiasm is obviously higher, if you don't work hard, it doesn't matter if you don't have snacks, no toys are no big deal, but if your dog is going to starve to death, it's a big sin.
Chen Bo grasped this bit of their psychology and cultivated their sense of work from an early age, money is not blown by the wind, and it takes hard work to get it. And everyone has to struggle for a sense of responsibility, as for whether they can derive a primary financial theory in their small circle, it depends on the talent.
"Vincent, are you planting flowers?" As they worked, a familiar voice came from behind them.
"Mark, why are you here?!" Chen Bo turned his head to look, but it was Zuckerberg. Still with brown hair, baby face, gray T-shirt and jeans, and a girl standing next to her. "Who is this?"
"I would like to solemnly introduce to you, my girlfriend, Priscilla, whom I met at a college ball at Harvard. She is of Chinese descent and has the same surname as you! Zuckerberg put the girl on his shoulder, and the two of them looked sweet, except that their skin was darker, they were indeed a real Chinese.
"You are very husband and wife, there are chairs in the garden to sit on, I will take the children to finish the work first!" Chen Bo said hello and then turned his head to guide the children's farm work, and after a while, they trampled on the ridges of the fields that had been made, the pits were dug crookedly, and the seeds were not sprinkled evenly enough.
"Are you going to plant flowers here? It will be beautiful when spring comes. Priscilla asked curiously.
"Planting flowers? You can't eat that thing! Chen Bo replied, "I grow vegetables and vegetables here!" Wait for it to grow back and share it with you to try! ”
"Grow vegetables! Oh my God, Vincent you actually grow vegetables in the garden!! Zuckerberg shouted, incredibly.
"Why not? It's a racial gift! Chen Bo smiled, "I'm the only one here, so I don't have to think about the feelings of my neighbors at all, and I'm not afraid of being complained." Growing vegetables is not a shameful thing, watching the red peppers hanging all over the branches, the green vegetables standing in the soil, and the long beans climbing all over the wooden frame, that feeling is the happiness of labor. ”
"Mark, we Chinese are indeed like this. I remember when I was a child, my grandmother would do this a lot. Priscilla explained to Zuckerberg, "In an agrarian civilization, food and vegetables are gifts from the earth, and they are never left behind wherever they go. But it's a pity that I don't know how to ......."
"Can I help you with that?" Zuckerberg was eager to give it a try.
"Why not?" Chen Bo welcomed with open arms, and the experimental field of half an acre of land relied on these little guys and didn't know how long it would take.
Zuckerberg and his girlfriend joined in a welcome welcome with the children, who were not like farm work, but purely experienced life, playing and working as a game, and finally got half an acre of land before the sun went down.
