On Palo Alto's longest street, California Avenue, an Audi was speeding along, eventually pulling up to the Sunflower Restaurant. Tang Lin quickly got out of the car and entered the restaurant, where he was led by a waiter to a luxurious private room.
'Zhou Ming, you are a shameless bastard with no credibility. I believe you are the biggest fool!'
As soon as he entered the private room, Tang Lin, the fifth-in-line successor of the Tang family, started to scold Zhou Ming in an unseemly manner without waiting for the waiter to leave, because the other person sitting in the private room at that time was Zhou Ming.
Compared to the ranting Tang Lin, Zhou Ming was much more calm. He first waved his hand to indicate – in a novel way – that the confused waiter, who had no idea what was going on, should leave, and then said to Tang Lin after the door of the box had been closed, 'If there's something you want to say, let's sit down and talk . Although I have never considered you to be a smart person, it seems that you are not stupid either, especially when it comes to trusting me. I can guarantee that this may be the wisest choice you have ever made in your life.'
'I I'm wise to your face, and you won't forget what you've done, will you? Then let me help you remember!'
Tang Lin said to Zhou Ming with some annoyance, and at the same time, he pulled out a newspaper as if to vent his anger, and angrily threw it on the table.
Zhou Ming picked up the newspaper and glanced at it. He saw that in a prominent position was a news article about Jieke, which had made a splash at the Forte Tech Show. He couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Ming looked up and asked Tang Lin, 'Let me guess, you think I've gone back to work for Jieke just because you saw this news. The animated film was just to attract the attention of Tang Yu and the others. Now Since they have turned their guns on that side and relaxed their targeting of Jieke, then I can naturally let go of the animation film project that has lost its value?
Tang Lin raised an eyebrow and said, 'Isn't that the case? You said at the beginning that you couldn't survive without being crazy, and that if you wanted to compete for the Tang family's inheritance, you would have to do something that would blow people's minds. All of this was a lie you told to distract Tang Yu and the others from Jieke Company. The bullshit animated movie, the bullshit profitable project, they're all lies you made up!'
Tang Lin became more and more agitated as he spoke, and at the end he slammed his hands down on the table so hard that he fell backwards onto it. He questioned Zhou Ming, 'Do you have anything to say now?'
Facing Tang Lin, who looked like an abandoned daughter-in-law, had no choice but to ask in return, with his arms folded, 'What else can I say? Because I have made such a big fuss about creating momentum for Toy Story through discussions on the bbs, and indeed it is to divert the attention of those who are targeting me from Jacko Company, otherwise I will not be able to carry out some projects.'
Hearing Zhou Ming's answer, of course, shocked Tang Lin. He muttered, 'Why did you admit it so easily?'
Zhou Ming laughed, 'That's the truth. Why wouldn't I admit it? And isn't that the result you wanted to hear?'
Tang Lin had the urge to vomit blood. It was undeniable that when he first saw the news in the newspaper, he did feel a sense of betrayal and anger. That was why he angrily asked Zhou Ming out to question him. Tang Lin had originally thought that Zhou Ming would at least try to argue, but now that he had admitted so easily, it was as if he didn't take himself seriously at all!
Looking at Tang Lin's dumbfounded expression, Zhou Ming continued, 'You must be thinking, 'You're building a bridge while secretly planning to attack from the other side. You're throwing the animated film project out there in a high-profile way to lure Tang Yu and the others to focus on it, while I take the opportunity to develop Jieke Company.'
'Is wasn't it?' Tang Lin asked with a last glimmer of hope.
'Of of course it is. Things have developed exactly as I predicted. At least the pressure on Jackel is almost non-existent now. They're all attacking the animated film on the BBS, aren't they?' Zhou Ming 's answer mercilessly crushed Tang Lin's last shred of hope.
'So you're just showing off to me, right?' Tang Lin asked.
Zhou Ming shook his head and sighed with some regret, saying, 'I can put it this way, but if you really think that way, then you really are stupid! I'll give you a hint: I invested 20 million in the animated film project, but my investment in Jieke is less than 15 million. Do these two figures ring a bell?'
Tang Lin eyes lit up again: 'Zhou Ming, you are not trying to sell the animated film project to protect the development of Jieke Company! Instead, you want to do both projects together in front of Tang Yu and his colleagues, one virtual and one real. While the other party's attention is on Jieke Company, you will focus on the animated film project, and vice versa. When the other person's attention is on the animated film project, you will make a move on Jieke Company.'
Tang Lin said, giving Zhou Ming a thumbs-up: 'Mr. Zhou Ming is worthy of the name. Every move is a big one! This time, with a real and virtual approaches simultaneously. Tang Yu and those foolish people will never be able to guess where your strength will come from, because you can strike from either side, and both sides have the potential to succeed. With their abilities, they simply won't be able to cover both sides!'
Tang Lin said Finally, he looked at Zhou Ming and asked, 'So this time, Mr. Zhou Ming, you also want me to invest in Jieke, right?'
Zhou Ming looked up at Tang Lin and said with a hint of amusement, 'Are you sick? Why bother analysing all that nonsense? Just remember that you you are only a supporting character in this book, just follow my orders and execute them well, don't you know that you will definitely be slapped in the face for such a serious analysis?'
Tang Lin clenched his fists, he was very unhappy with Zhou Ming's words, but he also understood that what Zhou Ming said was indeed the truth.
At this time, Zhou Ming continued, 'But you were right about one thing: even if you hadn't asked me out this time, I would have gone to you anyway, because I really need you to invest in Jieke.'
Tang Lin froze there: 'Why do I need to invest in Jieke?'
'It's simple . I am indeed taking a two-pronged approach, but I am not trying to fool them by keeping them on the hook. Rather, like my sister Naizi, I am going to do both things at the same time and make both things successful. Zhou Ming said this and made a gesture of doing both things at the same time.
Tang Lin was shocked . He took a surprised breath and said, 'Are you trying to succeed in both projects, or are you just crazy given that Tang Yu and the others are doing their best to block you? Are you worried that if you're not being sincere, no matter what you do, people will see through you? But even so you wouldn't have to do both perfectly, that's just not possible!'
'What's impossible? There's no such word in my dictionary,' Zhou Ming said meaningfully. "Besides, you can see that we're doing pretty well now, right?'
'But that's only because they're only targeting one of them!" Tang Lin emphasised .
'In the future, they may do the same because if they are really capable, they will definitely target both sides together, right? So I guess the resources they have and their energy are simply not enough to divide between the two sides...'
Zhou Ming's words were interrupted by Tang Lin: 'You said that their energy is not enough to share both sides, so if it's so difficult, do you have enough resources and energy?'
To this question, Zhou Ming smiled and said, 'So I'm not asking you for investment now? Now with the rise of the bbs momentum, the collapse of the server in the Stanford community reflects the current state of outdated computer hardware facilities. Then in the future, information technology will definitely face a wave of cross leapfrog development. Only today has Suffolk resumed its agreement with us. We desperately need investment to continue developing new markets.'
Facing Zhou Ming's confidence, Tang Lin was speechless and felt like vomiting blood.
When Zhou Ming and Zhou Ming and Tang Lin were discussing the investment in Jieke in Sunflower's restaurant, in the villa district of San Francisco near the Golden Gate, Tang Yu was sitting in the study of his beachfront villa.
In front of Tang Yu there was a computer in front of him, and the Stanford community interface was open on the screen. Tang opened a post and replied with a light tap on the keyboard: 'Scam! Whether it's the toy Toy Story or Toy Story World is a hoax created by Pixar Animation Studios to promote their animated films. This is a conspiracy. They just want to use these despicable and dirty tricks to trick everyone into going to the cinema. We must boycott them!
After Tang Yu and refreshed the page, and soon other replies followed: Yes, those are the most disgusting villains, and we will definitely boycott their movie!
Someone else replied said: I know that the previous posts were all self-promoted by that Pixar animation studio, and all the replies were also from their own people. Using such despicable tactics is most detestable, and the films made by such a company are definitely rubbish!
Looking at these passionate replies, Tang Yu leaned back in his chair, his lips curling up slightly: 'Zhou Ming, I'm afraid you don't know that I was the first to discover the usefulness of bbs for publicity. If you try to compete with me on this, I'll make you suffer terribly.'
As he spoke Tang Yu raised the goblet next to the computer. A maid next to him immediately poured a small glass of red wine for him.
The wine was poured , but Tang Yu did not rush to drink it. Instead, he put the glass back on the table, closed his eyes, took a breath and said, 'This lavender smell, you are Xiaoyu, right?'
After saying this, Tang Yu turned his head and saw a young girl in a sexy maid's uniform standing there timidly.
Tang Yu gave a slight smiled and raised his hand, and the maid, knowing what to do, grabbed Tang Yu's hand and placed it on her high, pert breasts, which Tang Yu squeezed a little.
However, Tang Yu did not feel good about this, so he took advantage of the situation, hooked his hand, and then embraced the maid in his arms and sat her on his lap. Tang Yu greedily inhaling the perfume on the girl's body, while with his other hand he stroked gently from the girl's ankles along the smooth black silk all the way up, finally burrowing into the deliberately short maid's skirt.
'Haha! On the internet, I can control all the comments, I can make everyone's thoughts follow me, and at the same time I can hold a woman and even fuck her. This is the real enjoyment of the aristocracy, and that Zhou Ming, who came from nowhere, is only good for playing in the sand at the beach!
Tang Yu laughed excitedly laughed loudly. Then he pulled out his sticky fingers and rubbed them twice on the girl's chest and said to her, 'Okay, get on the table. You know what position I like.'
The girl was very obedient obeyed Tang Yuhuai and got up, then got on all fours on the table. Slowly, like a dancer, she lifted her slender, beautiful legs and did the splits while lying on the table. Originally, this was a posture that could very well show off the feminine beauty of the body, but now the girl's skirt was hanging around her waist, and her two long, round legs were straight, exposing her most embarrassing place, which undoubtedly made people's blood boil with lust.
Tang Yu also felt that his breathing was getting heavier and heavier. Then he leaped at the girl with a vicious grin, but just as he was unbuckling his belt, his phone suddenly rang.
'Damn it!'
Tang Yu cursed before angrily answering the phone, which was Tang Wan'er calling. As soon as he heard what Tang Wan'er had to say, he immediately became inconsolable.
'We been deceived by Zhou Ming. While we are arguing with his army of trolls on the bbs, he has already started developing Jieke again. You should also read the newspaper. Just yesterday, Suffolk renewed its contract with Jieke and expressed its willingness to pay compensation. At the same time, many investment companies have expressed their willingness to invest in Jieke,' said Tang Wan'er 'He's played us all with this counterattack!'
Tang Yudi sat back down in her chair, feeling limp all over.
