This image of the Milky Way is obviously not a random search on the Internet. Its dynamic graphics are extremely beautiful, picturesque, and visually striking.

Everyone in the room was a little stunned for a while.

Step Possib's voiceover then sounded faintly:

"I told President Xiao Fang that a college student is a little firefly. They are lonely, like a drop in the ocean, the light of rice grains, and there is no way. ”

"But if they come together in large numbers, then things will be different. Noah is committed to creating such a futuristic super-loading container, the public will not be able to ignore their, collectivization blooming big scene. ”

"President Xiao Fang agrees with my idea, and for this reason, he is willing to pay 2 billion US dollars to buy 20% of the shares of our company, in order to participate in and look forward to such a beautiful and dreamy future."

Mr. Smith said with a somewhat sluggish expression:

"In the end, we paid $5 billion for the contract, but we only got 10% of your company's shares."

Step may smile and say:

"That's because, I told him, the total commercial value of such a super container is more than $20 billion a day."

"There's a classic business story you know: a shoe sales executive accidentally landed on an island. He found that everyone here was barefoot, and no one liked to wear shoes. Then, he sent great news to the company. ”

"It reports that he has discovered a new blue ocean continent with rich business prospects, and the prospects are bright: as long as half of the population here wears shoes, the parent company can make a lot of money!"

Smith responded, "Of course I know the story ... ”

It is impossible to blink and say:

"I told President Xiaofang that our country is a country where almost all people don't wear shoes, so the future potential is infinite."

Smith was puzzled, and suddenly showed a suspicious expression.

Bu may smile very charmingly, and said:

"It's a parable ... Ordinary people in our country don't read much at all. ”

"According to big data statistics, the ratio of bookstores per 10,000 people in our country is probably among the lowest in the world."

"There are a lot of cinemas and cinemas in our country, and we have a lot of listed companies accordingly. On our streets, there are hardly any commercial bookstores. Our largest online bookseller in China, Dingdang.com, has always struggled and made little profit. ”

"We are the world's most famous and largest e-commerce company, Taodao website, Double 11 shopping carnival, and the data of books has always been insignificant, accounting for less than 1%. I will send the business big data statistics of these years to your personal mailbox. ”

Smith shook his head: "No. I have personally visited the various roads and libraries in many cities in your country... Your people are too purposeful in doing things, even if you are desperately reading books in the library, it is a short-term sprint, and you have to take some practice certificate. ”

The smile on Ayu's face seemed a little embarrassed:

"Our people have never admired high-level intellectuals, but they worship some good-looking actors. For example, we recently had a big-name female actor surnamed Fan, who paid 900 million in taxes to the country in one go... The high-ranking intellectuals of one of our divisions joined together, and they could not take out so much silver in one go. ”

Mr. Smith says:

"I know that the people of your country don't like to read, but they like to watch dramas, so the eyeball traffic is focused on the stars... Sorry to interrupt, but we were talking about the new headquarters building of Noah. Isn't that a bit off-topic when you tell me this? ”

Step may respond: "No digression... Do you look at the shape of the headquarters building of Noah, is it a little more special? ”

"This is the world's tallest shelf-like building, with a design height of 110 meters and a total of 38 floors."

"It's not just a building, it's a giant totem of faith, a clarion call for cultural symbols."

"Such a company headquarters building is not used to show off its ambition, but to condense the faith of intellectuals... Our readers have always lacked inner faith, and they lack such a bright beacon to guide them. ”

"Let me now summarize the core of what I have just said: lone intellectuals are like lone fireflies, they are insignificant, and the public will never see them. But a large number of intellectuals gathered together, and their collective brilliance shone, which is not comparable to any actor. ”

"As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi. If our people start to like reading books in the future, then the business opportunities contained here will be infinitely huge. Noah is laying out this in advance, and we clearly see a fertile leek field with greenery. ”

"There are 30 million college students in our country, and our company is very close to these college students, and we know what kind of books they like to read... Obviously, our game has also won their favor. ”

"If every college student buys 10 books a year through Noah, we can sell 300 million books a year.

"Obviously, the president of your company's Xiaofang also saw this leek field, so he finally decided to bet 5 billion dollars a day and make a stud bet."

Smith looked a little dumbfounded:

"What you say is the Tao, logical thinking is indeed reasonable... On behalf of FB, I will reconsider and evaluate the necessity and importance of the new Noah headquarters building. ”

Bu probably smiled slightly, stood up, and paced to the side where the architectural sand table model was placed.

He reached out and reached for the shelf-like exterior building. Extend your left hand once, and your right hand once as well.

Something surprising happened: the model of the building had two lower floors in height, and the height of the building was suddenly greatly reduced.

Holding a wooden building model in each hand, Bu may say to the many shareholders:

"The building has 38 floors, and now I've removed 20 floors. We intend to build only 18 storeys in the first phase in three steps. ”

"After the company's future profitability is more guaranteed, the bamboo shoots will be higher after the rain. This building is a prefabricated building with prestressed light steel beams and columns. For 18 floors, the construction period is very fast, and it can be completed in more than four months together with the interior decoration. ”

"There are new construction companies in China, and with this on-site prefabricated building structure, a 60-storey building can be built in a month. We're going to ask them to come and start building. ”

The presentation meeting, which was originally interrupted by the speeches of foreign shareholders, continued to be continued.

During the lunch break, after the meal, when the dessert in the hall was free to exchange, Mr. Smith held a glass of champagne in his hand, and mysteriously came over to find a step and chat alone.

He made a special gesture to the president, and the two of them came over in a no-man's corner.

Mr. Smith said:

"I have a niece who is a freshman at the old Silver Mountain State Federal University."

"During the winter vacation, her school has signed a short-term exchange agreement with your alma mater, Summer University of Technology."

In two weeks, she will arrive at Xia University of Technology for a year... As you just said, you likened yourself to a firefly with a magnitude of 20. ”

"But in my niece's eyes, your personal brightness is very high... In your country, she doesn't look down on any other university, she just wants to come and see what the university you have been in is like... She loves the fun game world you've created. You've always been her onion white idol. ”

Bu's mouth, which may have opened in surprise, probably even the tall champagne glass in his hand, can be stuffed in.

After being stunned for a while, Step may have choked out a sentence: "What's her name?" ”

"Anna, her name is Anna and she is 18 years old." Smith looked around, then pulled a picture out of his pocket. Inside, is a photo of him and Anna. A slender girl, with her arms around Mr. Smith's neck intimately, with a smile on her face like a spring flower, innocent.

Bu may have thought for a moment, and said very sincerely:

"I will try to mobilize all my social circles so that your niece will be more comfortable, more cared for and more valued during her stay at my alma mater."

Mr. Smith laughed, and held out his hand affectionately to the step:

"I know your country very well, and if you don't run the relationship in private, that's not okay!"

"Thank you for your private care... Please try to keep a low profile as much as possible, because Anna she doesn't like to be treated with special privileges... Our culture, personal privilege, will lead to individuals being disliked and alienated by their peers. ”

Ayumi shook his hand and said, "'OK. ”

Mr. Smith added:

"I may have made some excessively personal demands on you ... At the shareholders' meeting in the afternoon, I will still openly raise objections to those who should be opposed, so please understand. ”

Bu may smile slightly: "I appreciate your work style of distinguishing between public and private... Friends return to friends, and business returns to business, so that Noah can live longer. ”

Then, the two switched to normal work communication and chat mode.
