On the other side, the three girls who were enviously watching this kind of joy finally seized an opportunity to interject. Qin Buzui carefully reminded: "Sister Momo, since the king does not go to court early, it seems that it is not "Pipa Xing" but "Song of Everlasting Regret."

"..."

"Haha, "Pipa Xing", from now on the king will not go to court early, haha."

"Tao Yuelei, you did it on purpose, wow, look at my Jiuyin White Bone Claw."

So it was a mess again.

Just playing around like this, girl A came to remind him that there was an important call, and Simon got up from the entanglement of the girls.Seeing the man leave, the weather by the pool seemed to be in June, and it changed as soon as it was said. The joyful atmosphere just now disappeared, and the six girls were divided into two groups.

Although.

Zhu Momo doesn't really want to fight with the other two. They abandoned themselves at the beginning, but now is not the time to fight alone. They have to fight against each other.

Chapter 1179 Wait!

Chapter 1179 Wait!The call was from Chen Qing who had returned to China again, and it was indeed a very important matter.Next month, someone is coming to the United States and wants to be a guest at Cape Dume Manor.

Simon agreed after a little consideration.

After talking about some details, and knowing that her boss was not busy, Chen Qing talked about other things by the way.

Several film and television companies in China have basically completed their shareholding matters; antiques were dug up at the construction site of Jinshu Film and Television City, but unfortunately a bunch of bottles and cans are too ugly, so they voluntarily chose to hand them in; She also plans to join in the fun; the Heaven and Earth nightclub in which her family owns shares in Beijing recently had a fight, and there was a huge battle; a group of experts claimed to have identified the location of the legendary paradise "Shangri-La". The boss of his own family circled the block and built individual courtyards as usual.

Barbara.

There was also talk of a deal that interested Simon.

Because Tinkber and Nokia intend to change their procurement strategies, mainly because Simon has previously explained the encirclement and suppression of Korean companies. During this period, some battery orders that had previously belonged to Korean manufacturers were planned to be transferred to several emerging companies in China.

One of them is BYD.

After the investigation, it was found that this manufacturer is very good. In less than three years since its establishment, it has quickly achieved an annual revenue of 1 million yuan, and its growth is rapid.In addition, even if Tinkber and Nokia gave BYD a small share of orders at the beginning, it is still a large order compared to this company that has just developed, and financing and increasing production are inevitable.

Chen Qing made a move.

The business is not big. Through a sub-fund established in Hong Kong by Cersei Capital’s Apollo Management Company, it invested 600 million U.S. dollars in this company, or about 5000 million yuan, and acquired 30% of BYD’s shares.

A very good deal.

Because based on the company's annual profit scale and revenue growth rate, the valuation is at least [-] million yuan. If it goes public, it is not impossible to reach a market value of [-] to [-] million yuan.

However, both sides also get what they need.

Here, a high-quality equity investment is determined, and the Westeros system is accepted over the other side. While obtaining funds to increase production, it can also obtain more orders from companies such as Tinkber and Nokia.

Of course there are also concerns.

At present, the company mainly produces flushable nickel-cadmium batteries for electronic products, and the iPad 10 just released by Tinkobel has begun to use more advanced and environmentally friendly lithium-ion batteries, which are also the core of the Westeros system. An inevitable trend of electronic enterprises.

If the company cannot keep up with the pace of technology, the future is uncertain.

Simon just listened to this and didn't comment too much.

Just like the many other start-ups that the Westeros system has invested in the world over the past few years that may grow into giants in memory, Simon will basically not show too special attitude, just quietly watching and trying to avoid interfering with these companies growth trajectory.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I am still quite proud of Chen Qing's eyes.

In my memory, in 2008, Buffett subscribed for 10% of BYD's shares and spent 18 billion Hong Kong dollars.According to this standard, the current investment of 600 million US dollars can increase by 108 times in about ten years.

This is far from the limit of BYD.

The only pity is that the company didn't have a good name.

It’s nothing to do batteries now. In the future, if you get involved in cars, you may be able to start an independent sub-brand again.

After talking on the phone for half an hour, Chen Qing was finally willing to hang up.

Simon then connected to the video call at Cape Dume Manor.

Over there is Jennifer.

Janet went to Australia two days ago to visit relatives. By the way, she tied her baby son back to school from the old man. The woman seems to be indifferent on weekdays, but she is actually very concerned about the education of the little guy, even if she occasionally roasts the duck raised by her baby son. Come to eat, talk to Simon in private, also said that he didn't want his son's love to be too overflowing.

Moreover, it probably inherited the old man's educational philosophy, fancying the eldest son, other things are optional, in fact, it is not arbitrary, more accurate, it is believed that a family must always have a few descendants who can establish a family.

Simon very much approves of this.

It's probably also genetic.

After all, it was a very important reception, and I chatted with Jennifer in detail for half an hour before closing the line again.

Check the time, it's past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Didn't go to the pool again.

This is a large study room on the first floor of the main villa covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters. Except for a few windows on the south side, the other walls are all bookshelves that reach the ceiling, densely packed with books in various languages ​​and types. The interior of the study is divided into three parts by two rows of bookshelves. The outer entrance is the reception area, the middle is the office area, and the inner is the rest area.

Because it is very spacious and has a few large windows, the study room, which may have been oppressive for patients with trysophobia because of the tens of thousands of books around it, does not look cramped at all, but has a special sense of order and beauty.

Simon picked a moment in the ancient Chinese books area, took out a book, returned to the leather chair behind the desk, put the reclining leather chair, with his legs still on the desk, and began to quietly flip through the book in his hand.

Often.

Suddenly I want to be quiet.

I don't know how long it took before there was a slight sound of opening the door, followed by the sound of high heels hitting the floor. Simon thought it was a girl and didn't care, but the footsteps did not rush over, but began to slow down , seems to be strolling, occasionally stopping.

After a while, the tall figure in a black professional suit finally turned to the office area, followed by a soft cry of 'Ah—', and books fell to the floor with a clatter.

Simon looked up.

In order to avoid direct sunlight, the desk is placed against the north-south book wall behind it. Simon leans on the leather chair and can directly see the girl walking outside.

Seeing Mo Wuling who looked terrified, Simon asked, "What's wrong?"

The man's tone was flat, but it made Mo Wuling feel a little weird. He gestured a few times in a panic, then remembered, and quickly bent down to pick up the book on the ground, and then he said dully: "I thought there was no one here, Mister Westeros, why are you here?"

Simon raised the book in his hand slightly: "Read."

"Oh."

Very reasonable answer.

However, Mo Wuling immediately showed a slightly weird expression.

The group of goblins at the swimming pool should still be there. They are all gorgeous, but this man actually came here to read a book?

Well, and...

Is my sense of existence so weak?It's all in front of you, without any emotional ups and downs.

Simon turned a page in the book in his hand, looked up and saw that Mo Wuling was still there, and ordered casually, "Make me a cup of coffee, it's outside."

I am not your waitress!

Mo Wuling said this almost subconsciously from the bottom of his heart, but it was only in his heart, but he hummed, turned and went outside, walked to the coffee machine, and remembered that he didn't know his taste, whether to add milk, or sugar?

Then I thought, why am I so considerate?

So he messed around for a while, took a cup of coffee back to the office area, and passed it to the right side of the man across the desk, away from the pair of big feet on the desk, and finally couldn't help reminding: "It's a bit hot. "

"Thank you," Simon said, pointing to a swivel chair opposite: "Sit down."

Mo Wuling wanted to say not to bother you, Yunyun, but his body followed the man's voice and pulled the swivel chair to sit down, unconsciously straightening his back, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to lecture, and he did not dare to behave like him.However, it seems... this swivel chair that is only used for entertaining guests can't lie down.

After a moment of silence, I finally took the initiative to find a topic: "What book are you reading?"

In fact, I have already seen the cover, so I pretended not to see it in order to find something to say.

Simon raised the book in his hand again, and there were three eye-catching Chinese characters on the hard cover: "Han Feizi".

Mo Wuling scratched the information related to Han Feizi in his mind, and then asked a question that he regretted: "Do you understand?"

Simon didn't have the displeasure that Mo Wuling imagined, but just said: "It's okay, and there are notes."

Mo Wuling had just recognized that it was the original Chinese version of Zhonghua Book Company, and it was impossible to have English annotations, but he realized that what he said were vernacular annotations.Obviously a foreigner's face, even if he only reads the vernacular, it is enough to surprise people.

"That..." Mo Wuling paused, then asked again: "Do you like Chinese Legalism?"

Han Feizi was a well-known representative of the Legalist School during the Warring States Period.

"If you want to seek business management ideas from a theoretical perspective, "Han Feizi" is no worse than "Sun Tzu's Art of War". However, if you talk about the hundred schools of thought in China, I still prefer Confucianism."

Mo Wuling was surprised again: "Why?"

Since modern times, Confucianism has not been very popular in China, and it has been the object of criticism in most cases.

Simon thought for a moment before saying: "Legalism can only establish a system, but Confucianism can shape people's hearts."

Mo Wuling University studied in the Department of Chinese and has sufficient literary literacy, but he has never considered similar issues. Hearing what a man said, he felt half-understood. Is the system more reliable?"

Simon raised his head and looked at Mo Wuling's gentle face, which was more beautiful than Zhu Momo and more in line with his own aesthetics: "You shouldn't ask a foreigner like me this question."

Mo Wuling was inexplicably guilty by the pair of blue eyes that seemed to be staring at the desk opposite the desk, but she had a strong character similar to her elder sister in her bones, and she became stronger when she was strong, and counterattacked: "You just said , I prefer Confucianism."

"Oh."

The man's tone was restrained again, Mo Wuling was aroused, and chased after him: "What about my question just now?"

Seeing that the girl on the opposite side was unknowingly full of fighting spirit, Simon curled the corners of his mouth, put away his legs that were resting on the edge of the desk, straightened his body, looked towards the opposite side and said, "In this way, from the perspective of the inheritance of civilization, you You can find how lucky the Chinese civilization with Confucianism is. Among the main ancient civilizations in world history, India, Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc., have basically disappeared in history. It is no longer the descendant of the original civilization. In China, since the Han Dynasty, even the Yuan Dynasty, when it was conquered by the Mongols, the civilization has not been completely broken. Until now, it has lasted for 2000 years. Why do you think this is?"

Mo Wuling was speechless for a moment.

It seems that it makes sense.

As for why?

The answer seemed... and obvious.

Seeing Mo Wuling's speechless appearance, Simon picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip, then said: "So, having Confucianism is the greatest luck for your Chinese civilization, otherwise, probably after the Five Husbands of China 1700 years ago, Chinese civilization may no longer exist."

Mo Wuling was still very unconvinced, his thoughts turned, and he finally said: "But, don't you think Confucianism is also a kind of restraint on civilization, otherwise, China would not be as backward as it is now."

"Restraint?" Simon looked at the girl across from him: "If Confucianism is really restraint, it should develop into a religion. Do you know how many pagans were burned to death in Europe in the Middle Ages? What's more, whether it is economic or cultural From various perspectives, most of the ancient Chinese dynasties that lasted for 2000 years are the most powerful on this planet."

"But...how about now?"

"Now," Simon was also a little emotional, but said: "The weakness of modern China began in the Qing Dynasty. In my opinion, this has nothing to do with Confucianism, but it happens to be the cause of Legalism. The Qing Dynasty was a period of minority rule. The period of Chinese civilization, of course, has been assimilated by you now. During this period, in order to stabilize its rule, the Qing government adopted a high-pressure strategy of weakening the people and fooling the people. This is exactly the method of the Legalists. "Book of Shang Jun" You should know? If I remember correctly, in the early Ming Dynasty 600 years ago, the Ming army began to use artillery in large quantities when fighting the Mongols, and 100 years ago, facing the artillery on British warships, some native The well-informed officials of the Qing Dynasty even thought it was magic, so they used the method of seeking witches and offering sacrifices like primitive people to deal with it, which is the result of Legalism’s foolishness.”

Mo Wuling listened to the man on the opposite side talking in proficient Chinese, and his order was so clear that he was completely unable to refute. His mind calmed down unconsciously, and he leaned forward slightly, with his arms resting on the desk, and couldn't help asking: " Then, tell me, why has Western civilization developed so well in the past 100 years?"

Simon just thought about this question, and replied without hindrance: "This can only be said to be a historical accident. The rise of Western civilization has nothing to do with cultural systems and other reasons, but an accidental explosion of pure productivity, which has transformed human The society has brought industrial civilization from the farming civilization that lasted thousands of years, and the productivity has increased exponentially, so it has given countries such as China with lagging productivity a more high-end and advanced illusion. But in fact, in addition to strong productivity, Western culture There is not much excellence in the system. In modern times, the two world wars that brought huge disasters to human society both came from Europe, where industrial civilization originated. The reason is that the core of the European system is still in China for more than 2000 years. In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, when there were conflicts among the nations, the aristocratic system and chivalry that some of you Chinese admired in Europe were actually just a culture that prevailed in China more than 2000 years ago. People at that time also believed that nobility was born, At the same time, in order to serve the nobles, there are people who promise a thousand dollars and never regret it. Until later, some people finally began to wake up, princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?"

Mo Wuling's eyes were already shining with light unknowingly, and when the man finished speaking, he even had the urge to applaud, and his voice became a little softer: "Mr. Westeros, if it weren't for this face, I would almost I thought you were Chinese."

Simon smiled: "You can call me Simon."

Mo Wuling felt that something in his heart was about to dissolve, it seemed very dangerous, and he was reluctant to withdraw immediately, nodded his head: "Okay, Simon, um, how do you know so many things?"

Simon lifted the "Han Feizi" that was still in his hand: "Read more books."

"It's definitely not like this," Mo Wuling said with a coquettish voice that he didn't know, "You... seem to be only four or five years older than me, but I think it may take others a few lifetimes to accumulate your talent?"

Like those songs she's been listening to for the last few months.

During this period of time, I have been a little puzzled, especially for ancient styles such as "Human Meeting" and "Yu Xitan", how can a certain Western man do it?

Now, after the conversation just now, there is suddenly no doubt.

Simon didn't respond to Mo Wuling's question, but smiled and said, "I didn't expect that, so you are so small, I thought you were older than me."

The girl on the opposite side and Mo Yiling whom Simon has met are all mature temperaments that are biased towards Yujie's style, and Aunt Zhu Momo. Simon didn't pay attention before, and he really thought she was about 30 years old, older than himself. After Wuling himself said this, he realized that this girl was actually younger than him.

Hearing what Simon said, Mo Wuling was speechless for a while.

Is this human talk?
