Los Angeles, California is known as the City of Angels, but it is the second oldest city in the United States. He wants to kill the boss, New York, and become the largest city in the United States.
It’s just that I’ve been working hard, and I always feel like I’m missing something. Especially now that Hollywood is almost taking the world by storm, the name "City of Angels" is getting louder and louder. It seems that the only way to get to the boss's throne is to take half a step forward, then turn around and sit down. But New York just refuses to step down from its position as the boss, which makes Los Angeles very crazy.
But it is not the most embarrassing city in the United States. The most embarrassing city in the United States is the capital, Washington. As the capital of the world's only superpower, although Washington is also an absolute metropolis, it always feels like it has no sense of existence.
Not to mention compared with the eldest New York and the second eldest Los Angeles, even Chicago, which has always been known for its poor public security, is better than it. Can you believe it? And then there's Houston and Philadelphia ahead.
San Francisco was even more famous than it was in the early 2000s. It can be said to be one of the worst-performing capitals in the world.
However, no matter where they are ranked in terms of GDP, American metropolitan areas have one common characteristic, and that is poor public security. A few years ago, even big cities like Los Angeles had few shooting cases, and even large-scale demonstrations were accompanied by various arson cases.
In short, public security has always been one of the most troublesome issues for those in power in the United States. In every presidential election, public security issues are an enduring slogan with various promises.
However, compared with previous years, security in Los Angeles has improved a lot in recent years, although shootings cannot be eliminated. However, there have been much fewer cases of arson during various demonstrations, and there have been basically no black racial discrimination demonstrations that shocked the world. Overall it's pretty passable.
"BOSS, meeting you is more difficult than meeting the president." Dom, who was almost as fat as a ball, came up and gave Yang Dongxu a big hug.
Then he shook hands with Chen Xin politely. He didn't dare give his boss's woman a kiss. Although this was etiquette, he knew how conservative Easterners were. After all, his big boss is a very traditional Chinese.
"The president wants to see you because he wants you to spend money. When you see me, it basically means that your salary can increase again." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Others may be bragging when they say meeting the president is easy, but Dom is clearly not bragging. After all, it is not unusual to see the president here in the United States, especially for a businessman like Dom who is worth hundreds of millions.
It is easy to see the president at some celebrity gatherings, donating money to candidates before the campaign. In particular, influential publicity channels like Yiting Music are the main battlefield for many candidates. So it was indeed easy for Dom to meet his president.
"BOSS, are you really optimistic about YouTube? It is still just an ordinary video website. Although it is rising very fast, it seems that it is not enough for you to go there in person. After all, we are now its largest We are shareholders, and we still have priority in the first round of financing, so there is no need to rush.”
Chen Xin got into another car alone, and Dom got into the back seat of the extended bulletproof Mercedes to talk to Yang Dongxu.
"It's not just because of him. I have other things to talk about when I come to the United States. I even want to meet the Kennedy family. I called because the oil pipeline was rising too fast, so I wanted to confirm with you." Yang Dongxu said. said.
"I'll just say it." Dom nodded.
This makes a lot of sense. After all, he knows exactly what kind of energy his big boss has. With the current reputation of YouTube, he couldn't bother his boss to fly over all the way.
"At this rate, the first round of financing for the oil pipeline will start, right?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.
He is an angel investor in YouTube. He spent US$300,000 on his first direct investment in the early days and got 30% of the shares. It can be said that it is as cheap as cabbage.
After all, although the founder of YouTube felt that the website was good at the time, he was still a little confused and full of uncertainty about its future.
In fact, not only the founders of YouTube, but also the entire Silicon Valley can’t see clearly about the future of video websites. After all, they are not the foresight of Yang Dongxu.
So after getting angel investment, the founder of YouTube started to get excited, and after launching it, he felt that the market performance was not bad. But if you want to continue, you must start the first round of financing, because the publicity expenses are really cheating.
"That's almost it. The website has achieved good results since its launch. If we want to take it to the next level, the website itself must be further improved, and the cost of promotion will be many times higher. Plus the money given to the operator, this is not a small figure. . The founders of YouTube don’t have that much money, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to get 30% of the shares with just $300,000.”
"Inquire about the shares and quotations they are preparing to provide for the first round of financing. Since this investment now seems to have a good return, we have no reason to get out of the car at this time or dilute our equity. After all, the oil pipeline is short of money and needs financing. We But I have so much money that I don’t know what to invest in.”
"That's right BOSS, they are very poor, but we are very rich. There is no reason to get out of the car at this time." Dom laughed.
Compared with the technical geek before, Dom now deeply understands the benefits of being rich. So when I see other colleagues having a headache for investing, I can wave a lot of money, drink wine, and hug beautiful women. This feeling is really refreshing.
"It's best to get the controlling rights completely. Of course, the YouTube team is doing a good job now, so the management rights can be given away appropriately. But it's best to keep the controlling rights in hand. After all, we spent money, so we naturally have to get more. ." Yang Dongxu added another sentence.
Although the biggest reason for coming to the United States this time was this YouTube, the matter has not yet reached the point where he personally ended up. So just let Dom do the work, and the other party will open their mouths when they know that they are so sad about this matter.
"BOSS, what you said is as correct as the Bible. The strong should get more." There was no wine in the car, otherwise Dom felt that he would have shouted at his boss for a drink. Already standing in the ranks of capitalists, he feels that his boss's words are simply wise words.
Compared to the Virgin bitch who gets sad after getting rich, the rich and capital here in the United States are a bit more pure. Of course, some charity word-of-mouth will still operate.
But when it is time to show off its fangs, it is never ambiguous, and when considering issues, it is always considered from the position of capital. As for charity and fame, they are things that need to be decorated after you make money. In short, you are nothing without money.
The car drove directly into the headquarters building of Yiting Technology. Compared with the time when we started the business, everyone was crowded into a small office. Not to mention drinking and eating food, just eating hamburgers was a problem.
Today's Yiting Technology is definitely a well-known large enterprise in the industry, with assets running towards the goal of tens of billions of dollars. In addition to the online music list with the highest credibility in the industry.
Yiting Technology also provides music download services and offline physical cooperation with major record companies. It also purchased a TV station with good ratings. In addition, relying on Haina's film and television resources, Sports Convenience has various hot spots for the 76ers championship team.
At present, Yiting Technology has also begun to show its prominence in news. It is one of the most typical companies that successfully combines the Internet and industry. Sodom is not only a new billionaire with a net worth of over 100 million, he is also the darling of the media and Internet industries.
"Hi, Kanei, long time no see?" Now that the company had inspected it, when they came to the most important R&D department, Yang Yao and Kanei gave them a big hug.
In the past, the technology research and development of Yiting Technology was under the sole control of Dom, the general manager. However, as his net worth increased, Dom became more and more like a successful businessman. Although the technology was not bad, it was no longer as pure as before.
Therefore, as the company grew up, Kanai became more and more advanced and even top-notch in terms of technology, but his personality was a bit shy. He became the director of the company's technology department.
It is true that Ka Nei is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, but Dom is taking care of this aspect. He just needs to use his skills to convince the people in the technical department, so the cooperation between Dom and him can be said to complement each other. It is the main driving force behind the rapid growth of Yiting Technology.
"Hello boss, long time no see." A smile appeared on Kanai's face.
Unlike Dom, who gets richer and changes more, Ka Nei is now worth hundreds of millions. After all, he holds the original shares of Yiting Technology.
But compared to a few years ago, Kanai still looked the same, with a look of exhaustion on his face that he hadn't woken up or hadn't gotten enough sleep. My squinted eyes only light up when I see the rows of troublesome codes. I don’t pay attention to food and clothing. I work and work. If I really can’t hold on, I fall asleep on my desk. A common thing.
Anyway, what are beauties, wine, and games all about? Only code has eternal existence, okay?
"You must take good care of Kanei, this is the great treasure of our company." Yang Dongxu said to Dom after coming out of the technical department.
"Don't worry, BOSS, my care for Ka Nei is even more meticulous than the hospital's care for ICU patients. There are two full-time nannies at home, one helping him take care of everything in his life, and the other helping him prepare various nutritious meals.
The company also has three logistics staff to serve him. There are various physical examinations, appropriate physical exercises and massages every year. "Dom said as he patted his chest and the fat on his body trembled.
He is indeed becoming more and more like a businessman now, but he is not a businessman who becomes confused after getting rich suddenly. He clearly knows who he relies on for everything he has now, and who is the indispensable core of the company's current achievements in technology.
Therefore, his expansion is only the expansion of spending a lot of money in the eyes of outsiders. In the company, how to do his best to do his job, better implement the instructions of his big boss and protect the company's big treasure card, he will do everything. Made to perfection.
Perhaps he chose the wrong path as a technical geek before, but his current job is his life's ideal and he loves it extremely.
