Chapter 780
Bill Gates felt even more unhappy when he heard Lu Yiming's laughter. He wondered if Lu Yiming was up to something bad, so he asked directly, "What? Are you planning to come out and grab my territory? I'm afraid you can't do that. The Internet in your country is..."
Bill Gates didn't say much, because those who understand will understand. And it is precisely because of this well-known reason that Bill Gates is so confident. After all, even if Xia has a population of 1.3 billion, there are still 6 billion people in the world, and the remaining population is more than 4 billion, which is three times the population of Xia.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You don't know this, right? The wall only prevents you from coming in, but it doesn't prevent us from leaving."
Bill Gates: “Are you serious?”
"Fake."
“…”
Bill Gates realized that he had been fooled by Lu Yiming and hung up the phone angrily.
After Lu Yiming hung up the phone, Li Yiwen felt very strange and said, "You have never been the kind of person who would forgive others when you can. Now that you have won a big victory over MSN at home, have you ever thought about counterattacking Microsoft's home country and expanding QQ's business to America?"
Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "Don't take things too lightly. Now is the information age. Any information dissemination industry is a core national strategy. No powerful country will allow its mainstream social software to be controlled by competitors. Therefore, foreign competitors like MSN are destined to not be able to occupy our market, even if MSN beats QQ this time. But in the same way, we can't get out."
Li Yiwen frowned when he heard this: "Does this mean that QQ can't even think about gaining a foothold in America?"
Lu Yiming said very rationally: "At most, we can promote it among the Chinese community. Not to mention the different cultures and usage habits of users, what I am most afraid of is that the government will personally ban it. This is actually something that is bound to happen, so I am too lazy to make such an effort. It is a thankless task."
Li Yiwen suddenly realized and said, "No wonder you never mentioned the question of how QQ can go global."
Lu Yiming was open-minded and said with a smile: "This is how business works. When the scale reaches a certain level, you have to take geopolitical factors into consideration, otherwise you will suffer heavy losses."
Li Yiwen felt it was a pity and said, "Then we will not be able to get into the North American market, right ?"
North America is the most developed and richest place in the world today. Li Yiwen feels that he is losing out because he can't go out and make money from rich people.
However, Lu Yiming's next words brought hope back to Li Yin: "We can't do it ourselves, but we can invest behind the scenes."
Li Yiwen said puzzledly: "In the current social software market in the United States , the most competitive one should be Microsoft's MSN. As for the competitors, they are Yahoo and Google, but haven't you already invested in Google? I think Yahoo and Microsoft will not accept your investment, especially Bill Gates, who you just criticized."
However, what puzzled Li Yiwen even more was that Lu Yiming directly rejected the companies he mentioned: "Forget it, they don't have social genes, and there is no way they can succeed."
"What on earth are social genes..."
Li Yiwen complained, and then said: "Then who do you think is good?"
Lu Yiming slowly said a name: "Mark Zuckerberg."
Li Yiwen thought for a long time, but still had no impression of this name. He couldn't help asking, "Who is he? Why haven't I heard of him? He doesn't look like a celebrity."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "He is quite famous. I heard that when he was in high school, he created a music application called Synapse, which can make intelligent recommendations based on the user's listening habits. This app made AOL and Microsoft rush to hire him, but he later chose to continue his studies at Harvard. He is probably a sophomore now."
"She's still a student, no wonder..."
Li Yiwen was relieved immediately. Although he had been to the United States many times, he had only dealt with people in the industry. It was normal for him not to understand this kind of college student.
But what made Li Yiwen feel unbelievable was that Lu Yiming had been abroad less often than him, but he had not only heard of this person's name, but also seemed to know him very well. The most important thing was that Lu Yiming now actually thought that such a young man was a more suitable partner than Microsoft and Yahoo!
This is a bit outrageous.
"Is this the person you're interested in, a college student?"
Lu Yiming said calmly: "What's wrong with being a college student? When I was still in college, didn't I become the richest man in Asia?"
Li Yiwen was stunned. Lu Yiming's words were so well-reasoned that he had no way to refute them.
He really wanted to say, you are such a pervert, if one of you appeared in the world it would be considered a bug in Earth OL, how could you want two to appear?
China Overseas, the headquarters of Yuedu.com.
After a period of experience, Shi Qingxue, the beautiful female president, is now doing a decent job.
Amid the envious and admiring gazes of the employees, Shi Qingxue calmly corrected documents and handled the company's affairs in an orderly manner.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Shi Qingxue was about to leave, but the female secretary came over with a bitter face and said, "Boss Shi, Boss Wang is here again, right outside the door, and he said he won't leave until he sees you."
When Shi Qingxue heard the words "Mr. Wang", she immediately felt a headache.
This Mr. Wang, whose name is Wang Shuo, has a father who is a real estate tycoon, a mother who is a rich girl, a grandmother who is from the royal family of the previous dynasty, and a stepmother who is a popular star.
With his identity, he would be a very explosive existence even in a fantasy novel, let alone in reality.
Although his status is so impressive, he only has a junior high school education. However, in external publicity, his business card is printed with prominent titles such as Director and Deputy General Manager of Jingcheng Wangfu Century Development Co., Ltd. and Executive Director of Huiyao Real Estate Co., Ltd.
There is no way, if you are good at reincarnation, you can do whatever you want.
His father is Wang Zhicai, a real estate tycoon who is well-connected and has made a name for himself in Hong Kong.
Wang Zhicai was a worker in his early years. Because of his courage and hard work, he started from scratch and became a real estate tycoon.
At that time, he went to Hong Kong to explore whether there were any opportunities to make money. Unexpectedly, he met the daughter of a Hong Kong tycoon and the two soon got together. It was with the help of his father-in-law that Wang Zhi was able to earn his first pot of gold.
Afterwards they went to Australia to develop the market and had a son, Wang Shuo.
Although the two of them accompanied each other in the early stages of their business, they were unable to enjoy the joys together after their business developed.
As their relationship gradually broke down, the two divorced.
Wang Zhicai returned to Beijing with his son. A few years later, he met a popular actress named Wang Yan. He fell in love with her at first sight and started pursuing her.
Then Wang Shuo had such a young stepmother.
To be honest, Wang Shuo, with his identity, had no connection with Shi Qingxue, either openly or secretly. But at a youth entrepreneurship reception, Wang Shuo saw Shi Qingxue.
He has the same character as his father. He fell in love with Shi Qingxue at first sight and started to pester her.
Even though Shi Qingxue had revealed her identity, Wang Shuo didn't care at all.
This is what gives Shi Qingxue the most headache.
"Why is this person like this?"
Shi Qingxue frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
It was obvious that Wang Shuo must be waiting downstairs in his sports car. As soon as Shi Qingxue came downstairs, Wang Shuo would know it very quickly. The most amazing thing about this guy was that he would not only wait at the main entrance in his sports car, but also order his people to block all other exits. No matter where Shi Qingxue went out, Wang Shuo would know it immediately.
Shi Qingxue really had no way to deal with such a shameless person.
She has regretted this countless times and feels that she should not have gone out to participate in that event in the first place.
But it's no use regretting now.
After thinking it over, Shi Qingxue said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll stay here tonight."
Because online novels need to be updated in real time, and the work and rest schedules of different authors are different, some prefer to update during the day, and some prefer to update at night, so Yuedu.com has people on duty 24 hours a day. In addition, there are building security and company security, so Shi Qingxue is relatively safe living in the office.
However, at this moment, Shi Qingxue's cell phone rang. Shi Qingxue thought it was Wang Shuo calling, and was about to answer the phone and scold Wang Shuo, but when she picked up the phone, she was surprised to find that it was Lu Yiming's number. Suddenly, a feeling of surprise and relief came to her heart, and she quickly pressed the answer button and called sweetly: "Lu Yiming."
Hearing Shi Qingxue's voice, Lu Yiming's bones felt a little soft. Thinking that they hadn't seen each other for a while, Lu Yiming couldn't wait and said hurriedly, "Are you in the company? If you are, I'll pick you up right away."
Shi Qingxue said in surprise: "You came to Zhonghai? Why didn't you tell me? Then come quickly, I'm in the office."
After learning that Lu Yiming had returned to Zhonghai, Shi Qingxue felt relieved. When Lu Yiming came over, it was impossible for Wang Shuo to come out and harass her again, right?
Not long after, Lu Yiming appeared in the office of Yuedu.com.
Due to the rapid development of the business, Yuedu.com had expanded to a considerable scale at this time. Many people had just joined the company not long ago. When they heard the old employees calling Lu Yiming's name, they all looked sideways.
Everyone knows that Shi Qingxue is Lu Yiming's girlfriend, but many people have never seen Lu Yiming.
“Is this Mr. Lu, the richest man?”
"He's just as handsome as the rumors say."
"Hey, he's young, rich, and handsome, a perfect role model."
Many female editors couldn't help but start to become infatuated with him.
Lu Yiming had no idea what these people were thinking. When he heard someone greeting him, he responded one by one.
Those editors who received responses rubbed their hands with excitement.
"Mr. Lu responded to me."
"Mr. Lu even smiled at me!"
However, when Lu Yiming entered the office area of Yuedu.com, he did not see Wang Shuo standing at the door of the editorial department of Yuedu.com holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Lu Yiming entered Shi Qingxue's office. The two of them felt like newlyweds after a short separation. They felt like a long time had passed since they last saw each other. They soon hugged each other and began to confide in each other.
After a while, Lu Yiming looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Let's go out for a walk and find a place to eat."
"good."
Shi Qingxue sweetly held Lu Yiming's hand and walked out of the office gracefully.
When the editors saw this scene, they were immediately filled with envy.
Those who work in writing have rich emotions and outrageous inner dramas. Just this scene is enough for them to imagine an 8 million-word sweet story about a domineering CEO and his wife.
Wang Shuo didn't know Lu Yiming at all. When he saw Lu Yiming walking out of the office holding Shi Qingxue's hand, his face suddenly turned dark.
He didn't care and went straight to her, handed the flowers to Shi Qingxue, and said with a proud expression: "Xiaoxue, these are the roses I brought back for you from Europe."
Lu Yiming was a little surprised. He looked at Wang Shuo and asked, "Who is this..."
Shi Qingxue didn't expect Wang Shuo to appear here. When Lu Yiming asked about it, she was afraid that Lu Yiming would misunderstand her, so she quickly said, "This man is called Wang Shuo. I met him at an entrepreneurial event before. He took the initiative to pester me. I rejected him many times, but he is just like a dog-skin plaster. It's really annoying. If it were me in high school, I would have scolded him to death."
Although it happened in front of Wang Shuo, Shi Qingxue did not hold back at all, perhaps because she was anxious to clarify things with Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming quickly understood what was going on, because he had seen this happen many times. He didn't even look at Wang Shuo, but teased Shi Qingxue, "You are the boss now, you should be reserved."
Don’t be fooled by Shi Qingxue’s quiet and gentle appearance now, with an elegant temperament in her every move. When she was studying, she had a very bad temper and was very unapproachable.
Wang Shuo was very upset when he saw Shi Qingxue and Lu Yiming talking about him unscrupulously in front of him. He immediately glared at Lu Yiming and shouted, "Hey, who the hell are you?"
Lu Yiming did not answer him, but pointed at Zhao Tiezhu who was standing behind him like an iron tower, and said with a smile: "Do you know who he is?"
Wang Shuo couldn't help but glance at Zhao Tiezhu, then said unhappily, "Who do I care who he is? I'm asking you a question now, who are you?"
Lu Yiming still didn't answer, and continued: "I'm telling you, he's my bodyguard. He's really good at fighting. Have you seen his fist as big as a clay pot? One of his punches would be enough to make you cry for a long time."
Wang Shuo: “…”
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Wang Shuo compared Zhao Tiezhu's arms, which were thicker than his thighs, and his sturdy build, and decisively chose to give in.
"Okay, you've got guts! Just wait for me. Don't think you're the only one with a bodyguard. I'm not done with you!"
Lu Yiming looked at Wang Shuo, who was acting like an idiot, and shook his head speechlessly: "Don't cause trouble for your family. Believe it or not, even if your father came, he wouldn't dare to talk to me like this?"
Wang Shuo directly threw the precious roses he brought back from Europe into the trash can next to him, then took the elevator and left.
At this time, Wu Mengmeng came out with a document in her hand. She obviously saw what happened just now. Seeing Lu Yiming's face was a little gloomy, she quickly said, "Boss Lu, I'm sorry, this Boss Wang has an unusual background. It is said that he is one of the four young masters of Beijing. I am afraid that he will cause trouble for the company, otherwise I would have asked the security guards to drive him away."
As the deputy general manager, Wu Mengmeng is also responsible for the daily management of the company, and it is obvious that the appearance of Wang Shuo is a reflection of her failure to do her management work well.
Only then did Lu Yiming realize that this was not the first time Wang Shuo came to the company. Even the people in the company knew his background, so it was obvious that he had been here many times.
He asked Shi Qingxue with some dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Shi Qingxue curled her lips and said, "You are so busy. If I tell you everything and rely on you, wouldn't that distract you? You are already very tired from work, and you still have to worry about my affairs. I want to share your work, but I don't want to be a burden to you."
Lu Yiming said seriously, "You know what? Your matter is the most important thing to me. Other things are insignificant. Besides, the four young masters of Beijing and a few cats and dogs are just trouble. I'm not as weak as you think."
For Lu Yiming now, whether in the business or political circles, he is already very well connected. After all, he has such a high position, and his every move can affect the GDP of a region, so connections will naturally come to him.
The Four Young Masters of Beijing were nothing but a joke in his opinion.
In a flash, Lu Yiming knew exactly how to teach this guy a lesson.
"Oh, by the way, what was this guy's name you mentioned just now?"
Wu Mengmeng said: "Wang Shuo. Wang as in bastard, Shuo as in twinkling."
"Wang Shuo?"
When he heard this name, the expression on Lu Yiming's face suddenly became interesting.
There is no doubt that this guy is definitely not a simple nobody. On the contrary, he is very capable.
In his previous life, Lu Yiming had also read news related to Wang Shuo. In order to collect a debt, this person once drove his car into the car of the husband of the female star Liu Tao, and then pointed a gun at the man's head.
This is Xia Guo. Not only did he openly carry a gun in public, he also pointed the gun directly at someone's head. There is no need to say how arrogant this guy is.
Of course, being arrogant is not the problem at all; being brainless is.
"That's what I was wondering, why is this guy so arrogant? So this is his background."
"You know him?"
