Chapter 2050 America

Over the next few days, Qi Shuang had her eyes opened.

For the first time, she realized that the lives of the rich could be like this.

Under her guidance, Zhao Fusheng and the others conducted on-site inspections of several islands, all luxuriously furnished and awaiting sale.

One hundred million?

Hearing this price, Qi Shuang clicked her tongue in amazement.

Since Zhao Fusheng and the others didn't understand Italian, she also served as an interpreter.

Choosing one out of three wasn't a difficult task, and Zhao Fusheng quickly made his decision.

Let's go with this one.

Zhao Fusheng pointed to the information on an island and said to Liu Yiming, "Notify Miss Dong over there to begin."

Okay.

Liu Yiming nodded and walked aside to call Dong Chenxi.

Soon, Liu Yiming returned after finishing the call and nodded to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng looked at Qi Shuang: "Translate for them. Tell them they can prepare to start the transaction."

Though a bit puzzled, Qi Shuang did as Zhao Fusheng said.

The seller over there clearly knew Zhao Fusheng's identity and said nothing more. After a few flattering words, they took their leave.

That's how foreigners are—business is business. Once the work is done, there's nothing more to say.

To put it bluntly, these foreigners always do as much as you pay them.

Clear pricing.

These past few days have been hard on you, Miss Qi.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Qi Shuang.

Qi Shuang quickly shook her head: "You're too kind. I should be the one thanking you."

This was the truth. During her days as a guide, Zhao Fusheng had always been polite to her, with a very amiable attitude, never putting on airs.

Qi Shuang even felt that this man was simply flawless.

The travel agency will settle your guide fees. As for the translation fees, give your bank card number to Yiming later, along with a little token of my appreciation.

Zhao Fusheng said with a smile, "Meeting is fate. Encountering a fellow countryman in a foreign land is a rare joy. I hope Miss Qi will have the opportunity to work at our company in the future."

With that, he walked off into the distance.

...

...

On the plane to the United States, Liu Yiming asked Zhao Fusheng with some curiosity.

Chairman, why didn't you recruit her?

Her?

Zhao Fusheng raised an eyebrow and then laughed: "Qi Shuang?"

Yeah, I feel this girl has good abilities.

Heh, if I hired her as my secretary, what would I need you for?

Zhao Fusheng glanced at Liu Yiming: "If I have to personally recruit every single person, are you a pig's brain?"

Ahem...

Liu Yiming smiled awkwardly.

But Zhao Fusheng continued irritably: "Don't think I don't know your little scheme. Did you leave her your business card and phone number?"

The chairman has sharp eyes!

Liu Yiming gave a thumbs-up: "You asked me to contact her, didn't you mean for me to recruit her into our company?"

You're clever enough.

Zhao Fusheng laughed, shook his head, and said no more.

That was the logic. As chairman, if he had to personally recruit even a secretarial talent, it would be too cheap.

So Liu Yiming was the most suitable person to handle it.

Fortunately, the guy was smart enough to understand Zhao Fusheng's intention.

I gave her my business card.

Liu Yiming said to Zhao Fusheng: "I think she's really suited for secretarial work—very meticulous and knows several foreign languages."

That's your responsibility.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head and said to Liu Yiming: "Set up a secretarial office. In the future, you won't have to run around alone."

This was a decision he made after much consideration.

After all, no matter what, his business was growing bigger and bigger, with more and more things to attend to. He really needed to consider building a dedicated team to serve him.

...

...

The group arrived in New York in the evening.

The branch office here had arranged everything in advance. After checking into the hotel, Zhao Fusheng sent a message to Fan Baobao to let her know he was safe, then rested.

The next morning, Liu Yiming walked into Zhao Fusheng's room with a stack of documents.

Chairman, these are recent materials from Silicon Valley and Hollywood.

Liu Yiming handed the documents to Zhao Fusheng.

Currently, in the United States, Future Investment holds shares in only two companies: Facebook and Marvel.

Put them down.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and casually asked, "Check how Apple's phones are selling here."

Apple?

Liu Yiming was surprised: "Aren't they a computer company?"

Clearly, in his mind, Apple was a computer company—what did it have to do with phone manufacturing?

How dense.

Zhao Fusheng laughed: "Go check it out. Come back and tell me when you have news."

Yes, Chairman.

Liu Yiming bowed in acknowledgment and left the room.

After he left, Zhao Fusheng picked up the documents on the table and began reading.

Recently, Marvel's situation had been quite stable. They were putting all their efforts into making The Incredible Hulk, planning to turn things around completely with this film.

Frankly, in Zhao Fusheng's view, The Incredible Hulk was really not that good.

With a budget of $150 million, its global box office was $260 million.

Both the plot and character design were almost entirely flawed.

Zhao Fusheng really couldn't see how this movie could make money.

Earlier, Iron Man had been a huge hit, giving Marvel's shareholders and management great confidence. They all claimed that The Incredible Hulk, releasing next month, would surpass Iron Man.

To that end, these people even rejected Disney's acquisition offer.

And the Wall Street tycoons on Disney's side were happy to wait. Clearly, everyone was watching to see if Marvel could rise again.

Dream on!

Zhao Fusheng muttered to himself and set aside the Marvel materials.

Next, he picked up the news from Silicon Valley, especially about Facebook's development.

Recently, Facebook had been growing faster and faster. Just last month, Microsoft officially announced the acquisition of 1.5% of Facebook's shares for $300 million.

This meant that Facebook's valuation had officially reached a staggering level.

However, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stated that Facebook would not consider going public in 2008 or even 2009.

As soon as this news broke, the entire American internet and financial circles were shaken.

No one expected that, at this point, Zuckerberg still wouldn't go public.

What exactly did this guy want to do?
