Chapter 3073 Boomerang

Zhou Buqi set off for the United States.

Baoshan gave birth.

Another fat boy.

Having two children, both sons, made Ning Yaxian envious. She also had two children, but both were daughters. However, her sister Ning Yameng was very successful and gave birth to a son, but that was not all.

This is a double blessing for Zhou Buqi.

Just after Baoshan gave birth to the baby successfully, Ning Yameng also had a physical examination in this hospital.

As expected.

She is pregnant again!

This year, the main happy events of the Zhou family were Yang Mi giving birth to a daughter and Bao Shan giving birth to a son. Ning Yameng was the first to announce the good news of pregnancy this year, but this was not in the plan, it was an accident, so she was a little flustered and not prepared at all.

"Do you want to... give birth?"

Ning Yameng was a little worried.

Zhou Buqi held her hand and said in a strange tone, "What's wrong? Don't you want to have a baby?"

Ning Yameng said weakly: "I'm not ready yet."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "What's the point of preparing? The little angel has arrived, so just wait and welcome him."

At this time, the two were still in the hospital, and Aunt Xue, Ning Yaxian, Wen Zhixia and others were in the ward accompanying Xue Baoshan after her delivery.

Ning Yameng was in another room and whispered, "I never thought about it."

Zhou Buqi held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, it's good!"

Ning Yameng sighed softly and said, "My sister has been taking care of the children for the past few years, and she also helps me take care of the children. I know she also wants to pursue a career. If I give birth to a second child, I'm worried that she will have to stay at home for a few more years..."

The Zhou family has many children, and they need someone to take charge.

Of course Aunt Xue is capable of doing the job.

But she can't speak English.

This is a little troublesome. The family can only rely on Ning Yaxian to communicate with the servants, nannies, bodyguards, and chefs, and to deal with the outside world. Especially now that the children are older, some are in elementary school, and some are in kindergarten. Wen Zhixia, Shi Jinglin, Xue Baoshan, Zhen Yu, and Ning Yameng all have their own careers to pursue.

All these things also depend on Ning Yaxian to do.

This is actually not fair to her.

She is different from Aunt Xue and Wang Yanan. She is not a typical housewife. She is similar to Wen Zhixia and has certain career aspirations. Now that her life is tied to her child, Ning Yameng, as a younger sister, feels distressed.

Zhou Buqi then suddenly realized.

On the one hand, he felt that men were just not good enough, careless, and often ignored women's feelings. On the other hand, he finally understood why Aunt Xue insisted that he persuade Baoshan to resign from the bank, and even gave the absurd reason that she was worried that Baoshan would be seduced by someone.

After leaving the bank, Baoshan never worked again.

Then I got pregnant and gave birth to my second child.

Now it seems that Aunt Xue made this arrangement on purpose. She couldn't bear to see Ning Yaxian managing all the affairs of the family. The family has almost double-digit children, and not all of them were born by Ning Yaxian. However, most of the communication with the school and picking up and dropping off the children were done by Yaxian.

Aunt Xue intended to pull her daughter back from the workplace to the role of housewife.

Women are so delicate in their thoughts!

However, it is hard to say whether there is any other intention behind this.

After all, the competition in the Zhou family is quite fierce now, especially after Wang Yanan, Wang Yihuan, Chen Yan and Chen Yutong came, it seems that there is a sense of power grab. Aunt Xue is the chief steward of the Zhou family, and Wang Yanan is already the deputy chief steward. After Chen Yutong has passed the coming-of-age ceremony and officially enters the family, Chen Yan is also likely to become the deputy chief steward.

It’s hard to say whether Aunt Xue really meant this.

I want to call Baoshan back from the workplace to take care of family affairs.

Men are responsible for external affairs, while women are responsible for internal affairs!

Aunt Xue has always had this traditional style.

"It's okay, easy to handle!"

Zhou Buqi asked Ning Yameng to relax and not to worry about anything unnecessary.

Ning Yameng asked hesitantly, "What about my sister?"

Zhou Buqi said, "Yaxian can return to the workplace at any time. Although everyone in our family is very career-oriented, there are only two strong women who can't do without a career: Shi Jinglin and Zhen Yu... Zhang Zetian is also a backup, and Zhao Limuge can barely be counted as one. Others don't have such a strong sense of career."

Ning Yameng bit her lips lightly and said, "Hmm," "Why don't I return to my family after the baby is born?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's still early! No rush! I have plans!"

"What are your plans?"

"Train a few outstanding family assistants."

"Have you taken a fancy to some new beauty?" Ning Yameng guessed his thoughts immediately and said with a hint of pouting.

Zhou Buqi cleared his throat and said, "I don't know about others, but Wang Langli is definitely a housewife. She likes family more than work. Our Zhou family's style is to be interest-driven. We don't have to worry about work or family, and we can do what we like."

Ning Yameng had heard about it a long time ago, "Wang Langli, is that the girl you snatched from Mr. Liu?"

"Ah."

Zhou Buqi felt a little embarrassed.

  What is this called!

Wang Langli was my wife in my previous life, so she was mine, okay? But then the rumor spread and she became Lao Liu's, so weird!

Ning Yameng said softly: "I haven't seen it yet."

Zhou Buqi said: "She is in China. She didn't come this time, but she may come in the future."

"Have you collected it?"

"not yet."

"Then we must hurry up. Now that we have found a good one, we should collect it quickly and take it home to cultivate it well."

"I'll fight for it!"

Zhou Buqi took on this difficult task.

……

A new director, Reid Hoffman, former chairman of LinkedIn, has been added to the board of directors of Ziweixing International.

At this board meeting, Zhou Buqi also announced an exciting piece of good news.

Alibaba is going public!

Ziweixing International is related to Alibaba.

Because Yahoo was once the largest giant in Alibaba, holding 40% of Alibaba's shares. Later, Alibaba repurchased half of its shares, and Ziweixing International acquired Yahoo... So after several twists and turns, Ziweixing International now holds 10% of Alibaba's shares.

Not only that, Zhou Buqi was actually personally involved in that shocking transaction.

He also personally acquired 10% of Alibaba's shares.

Now that Alibaba is about to go public, this 10% stake is worth up to 200 billion US dollars.

What a windfall.

The board of directors was filled with joy.

Naturally, he was obedient to Boss Zhou. He was indeed a big businessman with a sharp vision.

  high!

It’s really high!

Only one person looked somewhat embarrassed—Yang Zhiyuan, the former boss of Yahoo.

This feels so terrible!

Originally, Alibaba's successful listing could have brought him a huge star-like halo. Now, he has become a laughing stock in the industry, and Zhou Buqi has replaced him, as if stepping on his shoulders and achieving the reputation of "the God of Investment".

Yang Zhiyuan, who was in a bad mood, got angry at Zhou Buqi, the company's CEO, for a trivial matter at the board meeting, asking, "Yahoo Weather and Apple have ended their cooperation. What's going on?"

Since the first generation of iPhone, the weather service in iPhone has used Yahoo Weather.

However, starting this year, after the new generation of iOS9 system, Apple no longer cooperates with Yahoo Weather, but cooperates with weather data provider WeatherChannel. This is a setback for Yahoo's mobile business, and it will lose a large source of traffic.

Zhou Buqi had heard this report a long time ago.

He also contacted Cook to extend the cooperation between Apple and Yahoo Weather.

But Cook refused.

Zhou Buqi said: "Apple gave up its cooperation with Yahoo Weather mainly because we encountered a traitor."

"traitor?"

This word is quite powerful and all the directors present are paying close attention.

Zhou Buqi said: "The one who did this was Kenny, the new CEO of Weather Channel. He contacted Apple and snatched our order. He was able to do this because he had previously served on the board of directors of Yahoo and was familiar with the cooperation between Yahoo and Apple."

"what?"

Yang Zhiyuan was slightly stunned.

Zhou Buqi said: "Yahoo is developing very well now. With the strategic support and resource allocation from Ziweixing International, I believe Yahoo can develop better and better. However, the end of the cooperation between Yahoo Weather and Apple shows that many legacy issues of Yahoo, which was a mess in the past, are still unresolved. The new management team needs to be more cautious in their work."

Yang Zhiyuan was speechless.

His face was stiff.

Now that's good, I thought it was a dart fired.

Turns out this was a boomerang.

It hit his own foot directly.
