Li He wanted Ding Shiping to go to the telegraph office to send a telegram to Ivanov, but he remembered that Ding Shiping did not speak English, so he had to go by himself.
He suddenly felt that he might really need a secretary.
He sent the same telegram twice, with only one sentence. "a
business!”
Mind your own business!
The girl who sent the telegram was amused by Li He's words.
“Japan？”
"No!" Li He shook his head and said firmly, "Chinese."
The girl stopped laughing.
Li He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, paid the money, and left. As long as he was a China citizen, so what if he was the richest man? Even if the whole world knew that he was the richest man, he was nothing more than an anomaly among a bunch of poor people in the eyes of others.
He was the richest man, but he could not prove anything to the world.
In other people's minds, he was like a snake and a rat in a nest. How different could he be from the rest of the China people? He would not win much respect. At most, they would give him a lesson for the sake of money. Only by staying in the lion's den, with a large group of lions as companions, could he become a real lion king.
Four bought an old Ford and drove from Oxford to London on a Sunday.
"This car has so many problems." Li He tried it and found that there was a big problem with the gearbox. The highest it reached was third gear. "Throw it away. I will buy a new one for you."
Four was not convinced. "If there was no problem with the gearbox, I would not be able to bargain. It's only 800 pounds! It's no different from picking it up. I am not that picky. I will go and fix it tomorrow. "
Once she bought the car, she used a toothbrush and cleaner to wipe the dust off every wire and screw in the engine compartment. It was brighter than a new car. This was the first car in her life, so she naturally liked it very much.
"Can your driver's license be used here?" Li He was still worried about her driving this kind of car.
"It works here in Singapore. I have always been like this in Hong Kong. It's not like you don't know."
"Did you buy insurance?" Li He tried to find a way to find fault.
"Yes."
"What about road tax?"
Four rolled his eyes at him. "You're so strange. Would I dare to drive without paying the toll?"
This was worse than not having a driver's license.
"You can drive that car away." Li He pointed at the Rolls-Royce parked at the door and said, "It seems to be a new car. I'll give you the keys to try it."
Just as he was about to turn around and return to the house, he was pulled back by Four. "I'm not that flashy. It's good enough that I have a car to drive. Besides, that's your company's car. How can I drive it away? "
"I'll fix it for you?" Li He saw that she was so determined and didn't say anything more.
Four said, "I have hands and feet. You don't have to worry about me."
From head to toe, there was nothing wrong with her. She was neither delicate nor bad-tempered. All year round, she was always smiling. Her two rows of teeth were neat and white, so white and tender and fun to play with.
"I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow. Call me at home if you need anything." Li He's mission was complete.
Not only did he acquire ARM, but he also had VLSI. This trip was not in vain. Naturally, there was no need for him to stay any longer. As for news from Nokia, he would not be able to wait any longer. "Of course. Call home if there's nothing."
"I will." When Four heard that her brother was leaving, she felt uneasy.
"You have to be willing to spend money. I don't lack your money." Li He still patiently instructed.
"I'm not a child."
When they came, there was a long line of people. Only Li He and Ding Shiping returned. Guo Dongyun was still consolidating the acquisition business. Shen Daoru was already addicted to buying and could not stop. He approached Li He for additional funds but was rejected by Li He. He could only rely on the limited cash he had and choose carefully. He could no longer be extravagant.
Overlooking London from the plane, Li He said to Ding Shiping, "This is what a developed country should look like."
Although he was jealous, he had to admit that London's night view was very beautiful. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a giant cheese grater. At night, it was even more dazzling under the lights.
Every place was very close to each other, and every stretch of the sky was beautiful.
Ding Shiping also sighed. "Say, when can we be this beautiful?"
"You know about the Four Asian Dragons. Three of them are Chinese. They all worship the same ancestor. Their brains are all similar. If they can develop well, we can naturally develop well too." It was no exaggeration to say that the material success of these three Chinese societies had stimulated the economic growth of China. Later on, the rise of China's economy caused the cultural awareness of the Chinese society to soar. It was a stark contrast to the strong sense of inferiority of the Chinese before and after the May 4th Movement.
It was impossible for a long-lived nation to not have its own national spirit. The revitalization of a nation and nation must carry forward its excellent traditional culture and national spirit.
China, with its rapid economic development, strong military strength, world-famous intellectual resources, and technological potential, as well as the Chinese society including the Four Asian Dragons, proved with its strength that the Confucian culture was not a culture that needed to be eliminated. It was a culture that deserved to be proud of.
When the plane landed in Hong Kong, it was already one o 'clock in the afternoon.
"Mr. Li, thank you." Only Mr. Wu came to pick him up.
"How is home?" Li He sat in the back seat. He was too tired to drive.
"Very good," Mr. Wu replied with a smile.
"Old Wu, you have been here for four years, right?" Li He rubbed his eyes and suddenly asked.
Mr. Wu said as he drove, "Four years, three months, and five days."
"Is the current salary Yuda? Or Jinlu? "Li He only remembered that Mr. Wu used to be Yu Dehua's driver.
"Jinlu is managed by Miss Wu Shuping. After Miss Wu left, Sister Jiang and my salary were paid by Zhongji Road and Bridge. It seems to be a listed company."
Sister Jiang was an aunt at home, and she was also hired by Wu Shuping.
Master Wu himself was puzzled because he had never dealt with this company before.
However, if there was a salary, he wouldn't reject it. It didn't matter how he came.
"This Old Yu." Li He also smiled bitterly. It was not his character to save money and not take advantage of others. However, he was too lazy to care about such a small matter. He just asked, "Who do you usually look for when you need help?"
Mr. Wu said, "Usually nothing."
He suddenly realized that although the employer was there, the direct leader was gone.
Li He said to Ding Shiping, "Call Old Yu, no, call Old Yu's secretary and ask where their contract is. Ask for a 40% salary increase."
He quite agreed with this driver. He was honest, did not have to work much, and was reliable. For so many years, he had driven Five to and from school without any mistakes.
"Thank you, Mr. Li. Thank you, Mr. Li." Mr. Wu hurriedly thanked him, "I will work hard."
"I will do it when I get back." Ding Shiping naturally agreed.
"Don't forget about Sister Jiang and those female security guards." Li He also had a good impression of this diligent aunt. Although her position in the kitchen was lowered after Wang Yulan joined, she became a good guide for Wang Yulan. Wherever Wang Yulan went, she would always be there.
When Li He returned home, he was about to kiss his little daughter, but he stopped himself. He sniffed his body, and other than the smell of cigarettes, there was the smell of sweat. He hurriedly went upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes.
After he felt refreshed, he took his daughter from He Fang's arms and kissed and nibbled on her smooth and tender little face. "Baby, did you miss me?"
"Sister can't talk." Li Lan felt that his father was a little stupid. He looked at his father holding his sister with one hand, afraid that she would fall.
"I don't need you to tell me." Li He asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
He Fang said angrily, "What homework can he have in kindergarten?"
"Oh." Li He just remembered that his son was still in kindergarten, so he asked again, "Can you count from one to one hundred?"
"Go and find your grandfather." He Fang decided not to let her son deal with Li He's insulting topic anymore. Her son could add and subtract within one hundred!
She then went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of rice and a plate of braised pork for Li He. She took the child from his arms and said, "Eat something and go to sleep. Old Ding has already eaten and gone to bed. "
"You know me well, my wife." Li He smiled and started eating. A plate of braised pork was enough for him. He said as he ate, "We'll build a pigsty in a few days and raise pigs. Black pigs and spotted pigs. The meat is good."
"What's wrong with you again?" He Fang was already used to Li He's words.
"I'm serious. Do you think I'm joking?" Li He said, "We'll build it at the back of the mountain. We have enough leftovers at home to feed a few pigs."
He Fang smiled and said, "We don't have leftovers at home."
"Then let's cook pig swill." Li He thought about it. Now that Wang Yulan was in charge of the kitchen, the possibility of having leftovers was slim.
