Chapter 629 Li Ye is angry, the consequences are serious

On the afternoon of the second day after Li Ye arrived in Hong Kong Island, he flew to the Lighthouse Country with Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo.

Because it is already the middle and late part of the twelfth lunar month, they have to hurry.

Although Li Ye and Wen Leyu plan to spend the Spring Festival in Dengta, Pei Wencong, who has strong traditional ideas, will still come back to reunite with his mother before the Spring Festival.

While on the plane, Li Ye gave Wen Leyu a personal profile.

"Xiao Yu, when we get to the lighthouse, you have to help me see if this person is reliable. If I'm wrong, our family's future property may suffer certain losses."

"Let me see someone? I.Okay!"

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye in surprise, but still took the personal information.

To be honest, this trip to the lighthouse with Li Ye has exceeded the girl's expectations many times.

Originally, she thought it was a love trip carefully planned by Li Ye, but before leaving, he gave her a large stack of investment information, which made Wen Leyu feel the satisfaction of being "valued".

But now this decision, which concerns the future family property, has put Wen Leyu under great pressure.

You can know a person’s face but not his heart. I feel that my ability is not enough to see through a person’s character!

But after flipping through the information, Wen Leyu whispered, "Isn't this Mr. Jeff? What's wrong with him? Is there anything unreliable about him?"

Witt Jeff, one of the translators of A Song of Ice and Fire, is a graduate of the history department, but when he took on this novel translation job, he was already a car mechanic.

The novels he translated are at two extremes from Jonina. Jonina has delicate character creation and great emotional entanglements, and is especially popular among female readers.

Jeff's version is more grand in scale, allowing readers to feel a deep sense of the times and is also conducive to film adaptation.

Li Ye whispered, "We need an investment manager. Jeff seems to be an okay person, but the future investment will be too big and people's minds are unpredictable. We must be cautious."

“Investment manager?”

Wen Leyu looked at Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo not far away, and suddenly remembered the "skin color" issue that Li Ye had once mentioned.

In the eyes of many Westerners, except for white people, everyone else is a pariah.

Although she felt very uncomfortable, Wen Leyu still lowered her head to read Jeff's information. She was a strong-willed girl, but she also knew how to endure.

Li Ye patted Wen Leyu's hand and said softly, "Store up food and wait until we become king. We are short of food now. When we become king, yellow skin will be the most noble color."

"."

Wen Leyu raised his head and looked at Li Ye's serious eyes, then smiled after a long time.

"Okay, I believe you."

. . . . . . . .

Li Ye and others arrived in New York on the east coast of Lighthouse on the morning of the third day, and then immediately rushed to Boston, more than 300 kilometers away.

Boston Route 128 is a semi-circular road adjacent to downtown Boston. It is only 92 kilometers long.
However, there are thousands of R&D companies and institutions along the route, as well as 65 universities including MIT and Harvard University.

Relying on strong scientific research capabilities and research funds from defense, aerospace and other fields during the Cold War, countless world-class scientific and technological achievements have been produced in this 92-kilometer-long area.

If Silicon Valley was the most famous high-tech industrial area in the Beacon Country after the 1990s, then before the 1990s, Boston was the undisputed high-tech industrial center.

Especially in the computer industry, there are many large companies such as Digital Equipment Corporation, Wang Laboratories, Apollo Computers, Honeywell, and Clavette, and their computer sales account for more than 40% of the US market share.

The target of Li Ye and others' cooperation negotiations this time is Wang Laboratories.

Wang An, a Chinese who left the mainland to study in Dengta in 45, founded Wang An Computer Company, whose name was not even known to later generations decades later.

But in the early 1980s, it was a computer company that dared to challenge IBM, and it treated Microsoft and Apple as its younger brothers.

Bill Gates once said in an interview: "If Wang An could complete the second technological reform in time, Microsoft would not exist in the world." And this year, Wang An Computer defeated its old rival IBM and signed a super order of US$4.8 million from the Lighthouse Air Force. It was the most glorious year for Wang An Computer.

This year also marked the beginning of Wang An Computer's rapid decline.

Harvard Business School even included the Wang An computer case in its textbooks to study why it failed.

In just three years, Wang Laboratories' losses exceeded its total profits accumulated over the past 33 years. Two years later, Wang Laboratories declared bankruptcy.

"I have risen alone, and I will fall alone." This is how his peers outside the company judged Mr. Wang An, a genius of his generation.

Li Ye chose to come to Boston at this time just to see if he could prevent this legendary company from falling alone.

But as soon as Li Ye arrived in Boston, he received an unexpected news.

"Mr. Li, things have changed a bit. Just a few days ago, Mr. Wang An resigned as the president of Wang An Company, and his son, Mr. Wang Lie, is now in charge of the company."

"."

Li Ye was silent for two seconds, then said, "No matter who takes charge of the company, our negotiations have already been arranged, right? We have almost finished the discussion, do you have any other questions?"

Pei Wencong smiled awkwardly and said, "There should be no problem in the general direction, but some details of the terms may need to be re-negotiated.
Mr. Wang Lie has made an appointment with us to go to his company for negotiation this afternoon. Do you want to go?"

Li Ye was stunned and asked, "This afternoon? Didn't you make a new appointment with him?"

Pei Wencong said awkwardly: "Wang Lie said that his father's health is not very good, and he has to accompany Mr. Wang An for the next few days."

"What time did he say in the afternoon?"

"Two o'clock."

Li Ye frowned immediately.

It is already twelve o'clock, and they have flown from Hong Kong Island to New York and then to Boston. The journey is tiring and takes more than twenty hours. This arrangement is very inhumane.

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye's face and said tentatively: "Mr. Li, how about we change the contract with them? This kind of joint venture project has many uncertainties."

"No, let's go and see what this Mr. Xiao Wang means!"

Li Ye's face returned to calm, and then he notified Wen Leyu and others to start taking a shower and changing clothes.

Ever since Mr. Ni expressed to Li Ye his determination to "enter the personal computer market", Li Ye asked Pei Wencong to look for a suitable computer manufacturer to seek cooperation.

Because of Wang An's Chinese identity, Pei Wencong chose Wang An Computer Company and had already negotiated most of the details. The two parties jointly invested to establish a computer company in Hong Kong Island, targeting surrounding markets such as Southeast Asia and the Mainland.

Li Ye's original intention was to have Pengcheng Fengyu and Factory 506 send technical personnel to join computer companies in Hong Kong Island, first to study hard, and then to absorb the most advanced technologies in the world's computer industry step by step.

But now that it’s the final step, why do I have a bad feeling?
. . . . . . .

Li Ye's feeling was very accurate. After they had tidied up their instruments and arrived at Wang An Company five minutes early, Mr. Wang Lie was actually twenty minutes late.

"Sorry! I had something to deal with. I kept you waiting for a long time."

"."

No one responded because Li Ye's face was too calm, so Pei Wencong and others all looked at the latecomer silently.

[The boss is angry.]

Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo had been following Li Ye for so long, so they knew that Li Ye was angry.
But they didn’t know that the consequences of Li Ye’s anger were very serious.

Wang Laboratories has reached the final crossroads that will change its destiny.

However, the company's leader seemed to be unaware that there was a red light ahead and was still stepping on the accelerator.
