Under the PayPal company building, all kinds of luxury cars are blinding, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maybach, Pagani, etc...
Two employees of a nearby department store looked at these sports cars and sighed.
"Since everyone knew that the CEO of PayPal is Chronos Li's sister, countless rich second-generations have come to pursue them, and they have built luxury cars everywhere. I thought to myself, if you open a flower shop here, you will definitely make money!"
"Oh, that's a really good idea, Jack! I think these rich second-generations send roses every day. If we partner up to open a flower shop here, it's close to the water tower!"
"Yes! Just do it!"
"… "
Office of the CEO of PayPal.
Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, Dongfang Yuqin, and Zhou Qiqi sat together drinking tea and chatting.
Yu Jingqiu looked at Zhou Qiqi and asked with a smile, "Qiqi, do you like the job here? If you don't like it, just tell me, and I'll ask your brother to give you another job."
PayPal's business is developing very fast, and Yu Jingqiu is worried that Zhou Qiqi's job as CEO will be stressful.
Zhou Qiqi smiled and said, "Thank you sister-in-law, I like my job here!"
"That's good, but pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't tire yourself too much!" Yu Jingqiu said.
"Yeah~" Zhou Qiqi nodded obediently, she didn't look like a strong woman in front of outsiders at all.
Li Zetian took a sip of the big red robe and said slowly: "Now, since PayPal has just been established, many things have not yet been on the right track, so it is relatively busy, and after a while, it will be very leisurely! At that time, Qiqi will hand over PayPal to her subordinates. Go down and take over a more challenging company - eBay."
Zhou Qiqi wondered: "Brother, what company is eBay?"
Li Zetian smiled and did not answer, but looked at Dongfang Yuqin. Dongfang Yuqin took out a document from the bag with a smile, and handed it to Zhou Qiqi, saying, "eBay is an e-commerce company, and the details are written in the document."
Zhou Qiqi took the document and flipped through it immediately.
Li Zetian drank tea with a smile and looked at Zhou Qiqi, intending to cultivate her into the "Godmother of E-commerce", "Queen of Online Flea Market", the most outstanding female CEO of the moment!
Although there is a suspicion of cronyism, but so what, so what! !
If you don't need your own relatives, what else do you need
After a while, Zhou Qiqi read the information, her eyes were shining, she raised her head to look at Li Zetian, and said in surprise, "Brother, eBay is an online auction and shopping website that allows people all over the world to buy and sell items online. E-commerce site!!!"
Li Zetian said with a faint smile: "The current e-commerce is dominated by the Amazon website. If other e-commerce companies want to break through, it will be a miracle. Therefore, eBay has a unique strategy! eBay and Amazon compete in market differentiation, neither It will cause too much impact on Amazon, but at the same time it can develop itself very well!"
After a pause, Li Zetian smiled and said, "Qiqi, eBay thinks it must be more challenging and interesting than PayPal. Do you have the confidence to do it well?"
"Have confidence!" Zhou Qiqi said firmly.
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, and immediately explained that Zhou Qiqi wanted to understand the operation of eBay in detail, so that he could take over the company in the future. 1 month later, the eBay website will be officially launched!
After chatting for a long time, it was almost noon, Yu Jingqiu said: "It's almost noon, I'm hungry, let's go have lunch!"
"it is good!"
Everyone got up and went to the restaurant.
As soon as they walked downstairs, a big wave of rich second-generation rushed over with fiery red roses.
"Miss Zhou Qiqi, can we be friends?"
"Miss Kiki, I fell in love with you at first sight, please accept my love!"
"… "
Zhou Qiqi's cheeks were flushed, and she immediately ordered the security to drive away the group of people. It was so annoying!
Zhou Qiqi's vision is very high, and she doesn't look down on these people at all.
She fantasized that her other side would be like her brother Zetian, a super genius, an unparalleled hero! ! !
…
…
It's been a long time since I came to the Panda fast food restaurant. At noon, Li Zetian and his party came to the Panda fast food restaurant for dinner.
Over the years, Panda Fast Food Restaurant has been under the management of Yue Fei Yujingshan, and has developed vigorously. It has more than 4,000 chain restaurants, and has now become the world's largest chain of Chinese fast food restaurants.
After lunch, everyone sat and rested for a while, and a few diners were talking not far away.
"Chinese fast food is really good, but it's still not as good as KFC and McDonald's!"
"Well, in the newly released global fast food fast food rankings, Panda Fast Food is not among the top three! I said that Panda Fast Food is still the industry of Chronos Li!"
"Hehe, do you think any industry that belongs to Chronos·Li is ranked first in the industry? Fast food is different from others, and the things in it are profound!"
"Alas, Chinese food culture has a long history. There are eight major Chinese cuisines, Shandong, Sichuan, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui. Which one is not better than European and American cuisine? Besides, there are many local specialties. It is also very famous, such as Chaozhou cuisine, Northeastern cuisine, Benbang cuisine, Gan cuisine, Hubei cuisine, Beijing cuisine, Tianjin cuisine, Hebei cuisine, Henan cuisine, Hakka cuisine and so on... Uh, when I think of these, my mouth waters. Oh, it's a pity, we'll never be able to eat these in America!"
"This is true. Although Panda Express has many dishes, it is also limited. If it can be more abundant, maybe Panda Express can surpass KFC and McDonald's!"
"… "
The voices of these people caught Yu Jingqiu's attention.
She frowned. After a while, she suddenly thought of something and said to Li Zetian, "Dear, do you remember that you once said that you were going to hold a food documentary program?"
Li Zetian was slightly startled, and nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, remember, "A Bite of China". Jingqiu, do you want to..."
"Well, yes, I want to shoot it!" Yu Jingqiu said excitedly, and said unconvinced, "I just heard from a few diners over there that Panda Express is not as good as KFC and McDonald's. In my opinion, a This is because the dishes of Panda Express are not rich enough, and some of them are not suitable for European and American tastes; the second is because Europeans and Americans do not understand Chinese food culture. I want to film "A Bite of China" first to promote Chinese food culture, so that these Foreigners are interested in Chinese food, and then come to our Panda Express restaurant to eat. Panda Express can exclusively name this documentary. In addition, Panda Express restaurant can also use these Chinese characteristics when filming "A Bite of China". Food moved to the table of Panda fast food restaurant!"
The more Yu Jingqiu spoke, the more excited she became. She and her father personally created Panda Express, and she was very emotional. In recent years, because she has been busy with the charity work of the LY Foundation, she has neglected the development of Panda fast food restaurants and felt a little self-blame, so she really wanted to develop Panda fast food, surpassing KFC and McDonald's, and becoming the world's largest restaurant chain!
Li Zetian held Yu Jingqiu's small hand and nodded gently: "Okay, I support you, I will let people go to China to shoot "A Bite of China", and arrange for people from Panda fast food restaurant to go with them."
Yu Jingqiu said: "I want to go too, it just so happens that the LY Foundation has charity activities in China, and I can also participate in one or two filming sessions!"
Li Zetian thought about it for a while, and there is no problem in participating in one or two episodes. The right should be to travel locally and taste delicious food.
So Li Zetian expressed his support.
In the afternoon, Li Zetian called the Chinese film and television company to tell about the documentary "A Bite of China", and ordered them to set up a crew immediately, and use the most advanced high-definition cameras, and even how to shoot, Li Zetian explained in great detail, I'm afraid they won't be able to make the documentary of the previous life.
Three days later, Li Zetian went to the airport to send Yu Jingqiu and some employees of the panda fast food restaurant on the plane.
"Be careful!" Li Zetian said while hugging Yu Jingqiu.
"Um!"
Not long after, the plane took off.
Li Zetian looked at the sky and murmured: "As soon as "A Bite of China" came out, it helped a lot to spread Chinese food culture! Uh, let's not talk about it, when I think of those pictures, my saliva is almost drooling!"
Li Zetian wiped his mouth, turned his head and walked out of the airport.
…
London in May, the weather is exceptionally good!
Li Zetian came to talk about a business - the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.
Standard Chartered Bank is a British bank founded in 1853 and headquartered in London. However, there are very few customers in the UK. Its business is mainly concentrated in emerging markets such as Asia, the subcontinent, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. The most important thing is the three banknotes in Hong Kong. One of the banks with a pivotal role in Hong Kong!
The year 1997 is approaching, and Li Zetian has to make some preparations in advance. He owns a large number of industries in Hong Kong, both public and private. He does not want Hong Kong to suffer a huge impact due to the Southeast Asian financial crisis! If you master Standard Chartered Bank, you will have more confidence and calmness.
In addition, the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank is also a very good investment.
Li Zetian stayed in London for more than ten days and conducted four rounds of negotiations. The board of Standard Chartered Bank finally agreed to sell 60% of the shares at a price of $10 billion.
Li Zetian successfully joined Standard Chartered Bank as chairman of the bank!
After finishing this matter, Li Zetian was relaxed and played around the UK for a few days.
Edinburgh is a famous British cultural city and the capital of Scotland. Some of the coffee shops here are very charming and unique. Li Zetian likes to wear sunglasses and drink coffee while sitting in a coffee shop by the window. 11
This afternoon, Li Zetian came to a coffee shop again. While drinking coffee, he looked around, and suddenly found a blond woman sitting at his back table writing something. Li Zetian couldn't help but take a closer look. He had good eyesight and discovered names such as "Harry Potter" and "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry".
"I'm going, isn't this woman J.K. Rowling, the author of the "Harry Potter" series of novels?! Well, it should be her!"
Li Zetian was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he was really right.
At this time, Rowling was divorced and received permanent custody of her daughter. As a single mother, Rowling's life was extremely difficult for her mother and daughter, and it was at this time that Rowling began to write "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the first book in the Harry Potter series of fairy tales. Because her house was small and cold, Rowling often went to a cafe near her home to write Harry Potter stories on small pieces of paper.
"Hi, hello, are you writing a novel?" Li Zetian asked proactively
"Oh, sir, hello! Yes, I'm writing a novel!" Rowling looked up at Li Zetian and replied. She looked at Li Zetian up and down, but because Li Zetian was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, she didn't recognize Li Zetian as Chronos Li for a while. However, Li Zetian is well-dressed and has a noble temperament, and is obviously a big man. Rowling was a little surprised.
"Is it finished?" Li Zetian asked, and he didn't know if Rowling had finished writing the first "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" now.
"Not yet, but more than half of it has been written!" Rowling replied.
"Can you take a look at it? I think what you wrote is quite interesting. Magic school, um, a very novel theme!" Li Zetian smiled.
"The manuscripts are kept at home, sir, if you are free now, I can go back and get them!" Rowling excitedly thought that the other party didn't look simple. If he likes my work, maybe he can help me contact the publication society.
"Sir, my house is near the cafe, and we'll be there in three minutes!" Rowling thought for a while, and quickly added, for fear that the other party couldn't wait.
Li Zetian smiled slightly, "Go get it, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, sir!"
After Rowling finished speaking, she immediately got up and hurried home.
Before long, she returned to the cafe with a stack of manuscripts in her hand.
"Sir, this is the novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that I wrote, please take a look!" Rowling handed the manuscript to Li Zetian, and sat in front of him with anticipation and nervousness on her face.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Well, maybe it was originally called this name, and then changed to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
Li Zetian took the manuscript and opened it to read. He looked carefully, but also very quickly.
The sun shines on his handsome face through the glass window, Rowling suddenly seems to have discovered Li Zetian's identity, and covers her mouth in surprise!
"He is Chronos Li!!! Oh God, he must be Chronos Li!!!"
Rowling felt that she had discovered a great secret, and she had never been so excited in her life.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe he's reading my novels now!!"
Rowling suddenly felt very proud, but at the same time extremely nervous.
She was afraid that Li Zetian would make her novel worthless.
After a long time, the hot coffee became warm.
Li Zetian has finished reading the unfinished "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
He raised his head and looked at Rowling, stunned for a moment. Rowling seemed to have become a little fan girl, fidgeting, not daring to look directly at him, but secretly looking at him.
Li Zetian didn't know that JK Rowling had recognized his identity, but thought she cared about a stranger's appreciation of her work.
"Well written!" Li Zetian handed the manuscript back to Rowling and smiled.
"Really? Is it really well written?"
"Of course!" Li Zetian nodded and said with great certainty. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone received critical acclaim upon publication, winning the National Book Award for Children's Fiction and the Smarty Books Gold Medal. Later, because the book was so popular, it was made into a movie.
"But some publishers think I'm not good at writing~" Rowling said unconfidently.
"You are writing fairy tale novels. You must have a childlike innocence to understand your novels! If you want me to say, you don't need to pay attention to those people. What do they know? They have long been corrupted by the world's fame and fortune!" Li Zetian disdain road.
Hearing this, Rowling was very happy, and secretly glanced at Li Zetian, secretly said, Chronos Li also has a childlike innocence!
At this time, Li Zetian took out a business card and handed it to Rowling, "This is my business card. When you finish writing your novel, you can call me and I can help you!"
Rowling excitedly took the business card and said, "Okay, sir, thank you very much!"
The material of the business card seems to be some kind of expensive black metal, which is very comfortable to touch. There is no text on it, only a row of silver numbers, which should be a phone number.
Li Zetian looked at the sky and said, "I'm going back, goodbye, future great writer!"
Being so praised by Li Zetian, Rowling's face turned a little red. Seeing Li Zetian drifting away, Rowling felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, and she didn't know when she would see each other again.
"How high is Chronos Li, and I..." Rowling shook her head, her inferiority complex and melancholy written on her face. She stared at the business card for a long time, thinking, "Unless it is a last resort, I will never make this phone call to bother him in the future. Maybe other people just have a whim and don't really like their novels. What's more, he must be very busy. It's all big things, how could he care about his novels? Forget it, it's all a dream..."
Rowling's face was gloomy. After drinking the cold coffee in the cup, she took the manuscript and went home.
