Indulge in Life in America

"Second Uncle, this is too much. Did you drink too much wine tonight? This time I will assume that you haven't said anything. I have something to do, so let's go."

　　The words are over, Yang Cheng really doesn't have the need to leave any nonsense, and she walked away from the field quickly with her long legs and Susu, leaving only Xu Lao Er in the same place with a gloomy expression.

As soon as he uttered his words, he regretted it a little bit. Now Yang Cheng is no longer a kid he can scold at jokes at will. Even if he puts aside the Yang family mountain, he can easily crush his second child Xu by himself. He has a quick temper, so when he comes to his lips, there is no reason not to say it?

　　 Sure enough, Yang Cheng was angry. Fortunately, she didn't turn her face directly. He estimated the friendship between the Chinese and the elders. He just reminded him in a cold tone that he did not act excessively, otherwise Xu Lao Er would not be able to step down today.

On the other side, let alone what Xu Lao Er thinks, Yang Cheng, who walked out of the park first, met Liu Dong and his fiancee waiting here at the door. It was late at night and the temperature dropped quickly, wearing a light dress. Yang Cheng's milk tea was shivering from the cold, but she still kept smiling. With this perseverance, she still admired Yang Cheng. Didn't she see the same chilling Susu, has she put on his coat?

　　 "Mr. Liu is waiting for me? Or is he waiting for the bus?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile when Liu Dong greeted him.

"Naturally, I was waiting for Mr. Yang. There were just a lot of people, and we couldn't have a good chat. I wonder if it's an honor to invite Mr. Yang to the hotel where I stayed. Let's have a drink together?" Liu Dong made no secret of his purpose. As for Yang Cheng's ability in the United States, he wanted to hug his thighs. As for the dissatisfaction in his heart before, he was nowhere to be found. Reality is more important than inner pride.

　　This is not shameful, but Yang Cheng is a little embarrassed, because Jingdong can give him too little in return, far not as good as Ari, and can become a strong strategic partner.

But at any rate, he is also a rich man with a net worth of tens of billions. He is as old as he is so much. Yang Chengwei is really hard to shirk. After a little hesitation, he agreed, "Just don't go to the hotel. It just happens that I just bought a property recently. Are you interested in visiting?"

This is not a show, but an act of intimacy. Liu Dong is obviously very useful to visit each other on the grounds of visiting the house. "Then I will be more respectful than my fate. Go and disturb one or two. Please Mr. Yang. Behind you."

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded in agreement. He pulled Susu onto the Maybach, who was just parked on the side of the road, and told Andrew who was driving to drive slowly, so he led Liu Dong, who was sitting behind in a Mercedes-Benz, towards Midtown Manhattan. Drive with confidence.

There was nothing to say all the way, after reaching the towering 432 building, the quiet and long elevator process was ignored. When the Sky City on the 96th floor was displayed in front of Liu Dong and Milk Tea, there was no word to describe it except for amazement. How they feel at this time.

Speaking of Liu Dong’s wealth, even in the United States, he is a top rich man, but his rise time is too short. To put it bluntly, he is still in the stage of nouveau riche, and his wealth is nothing but paper wealth. The cash that belongs to him is not too much, and there are hundreds of millions or even billions of RMB to die, gritted his teeth, he can't afford to buy such a luxury house.

　　 But the money is not spent like this. After a few years, maybe Liu Dong gritted his teeth and gave himself this way. Now, he can only sigh with excitement.

Fortunately, after the initial shock, he returned to normal, no matter how much he was a rich man, he would not appear too superficial, but the exquisite pair of milk tea eyes, completely attracted by the white and warm style, and stepped on high heels. The sound made on the snow-like marble floor is not only not irritating, but very pleasing to the ears. Accompanied by the intelligent voice-controlled lights in the corridor, there is an illusion of being on a top-level runway. Every step is like a dream and an illusion.

Susu is also the first time to come to Yang Cheng’s new home. Compared with the starry eyes of milk tea, she is no stranger to it. Following Yang Cheng, her experience is no longer comparable to the Chaihuo girl when she first saw it. The decoration is just like that, nothing to marvel at.

　　 At this time, Anna, the housekeeper, dressed in a silver-gray housekeeper uniform, greeted her, and after greeting Yang Cheng, she welcomed the guest Liu Dong and milk tea.

　　 "Anna, go to the wine cellar to choose a good bottle of wine, and let the kitchen get something to eat, um~ Chinese style." Yang Cheng ordered very naturally.

Four people enter the huge living room. The 10*10 super-large glass curtain wall perfectly presents the invincible night view of Manhattan. It's just a pity. If it is the sunset, the superb view of the Hudson River under the setting sun is this one. The most luxurious part of a mansion.

Let Susu and milk tea visit each room at will, Yang Cheng invited Liu Dong to sit down on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside is the starry sky of the Milky Way and the colorful neon night view, and the warm spring interior is set against the crystal lights. Weird Liuli.

　　 Soon Anna brought the servants with red wine and a few simple snacks, potato chips, French fries and the like. Under Yang Cheng's signal, she came out first and gave it to Liu Dong for tasting.

I saw Liu Dong turning the crystal glass skillfully, letting the red wine liquid move around the glass, and then sniffing it gently between his nose, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I don't know much about red wine, but Napa Valley The unique barrel aroma of red wine is still very obvious."

Anna smiled appreciatively, "Mr. Humble, this 2005 "Work No. 1" from Napa Valley is the first top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon wine in the true sense of Napa Valley in the United States. The wine connoisseurs are sought after, and the price has been rising year after year. This batch of wine is still obtained by Mr. Yang by luck. Please taste it carefully."

Liu Dong once again sighed with the wealth of wealth. After Anna pouring the wine elegantly, he couldn’t wait to take a sip from the glass. The rich aroma of Cabernet Sauvignon after ordinary fermentation is accompanied by the unique wooden barrel incense of Napa Valley. One bite, there is an illusion of being drunk.

　　 "It's really good wine~"

　　 Yang Cheng smiled and said to Anna, "Go and prepare food and drink, I didn't eat much tonight."

　　 Anna heard the words, smiled quickly and stepped back and urged the kitchen, leaving only one servant to wait.

　　 "Mr. Liu is also a wine lover. We can go to Bordeaux together if we have the opportunity in the future. That is the paradise for red wine."

"No problem, I used to prefer white wine, but as I grow older, I like more healthy red wine, and the more I get in touch, the more I feel that it has a history and culture that is not inferior to white wine." Liu Dong shook the red wine glass, expressing Show your love for red wine.

　　 The two chatted for a few words, Susu and Milk Tea had already visited, and they came back holding hands and talking and laughing. Regarding the honey friendship between the women, Yang Cheng said that he could not understand.

The two women did not intend to participate in the conversation between the men. Susu took two wine glasses and poured the wine, and then the two sat farther away chatting about fashion gossip, and Liu Dong also started tonight’s topic, "Yang My husband’s previous views on Jingdong hit the nail on the head. To be honest, I also realized that it is time for me and the group to make changes, but it takes time. I am afraid that the board of directors is not willing to give me so much time to adjust and change, so I I would like to personally invite Mr. Yang to visit Jingdong headquarters in Beijing."

　　 Liu Dong still didn't let go of his final dignity, and asked Yang Cheng for money, but only gently invited Yang Cheng to visit.

If it’s just a simple investment, Yang Cheng’s willingness is not great, because he is not optimistic about Jingdong’s profitability, and what Yang Cheng cannot accept the most is Jingdong’s implementation of the AB equity plan, regardless of how much money he invests and how many shares he will occupy. He couldn't get Jingdong's right to speak, so the value of these shares is not important at all, because it is worthless if they can't bring back to Yang Orange.

　　 If you change the angle, considering the New Era Group, the cooperation with Jingdong may bring new prospects, such as e-commerce.

After the development of Toutiao app to its peak, it is bound to expand horizontally, and there are not many options. There are only a few options for social networking, search, and e-commerce. No need to think about search. Google's dominance is almost unshakable. Toutiao They also don't have the ability to dominate or even overtake in corners in search technology.

　　 And in the social field, there are two giants, Facebook and WeChat, stalking things ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The challenge from the beginning is almost a mortal end, Yang Cheng is not prepared to die by himself.

So only e-commerce is left, and there is still room to step in. Even if it is stronger than Amazon and Ari, it can’t cover the entire e-commerce market. Vertical e-commerce platforms such as Jingdong have cut off one. Not a small cake. With the increasing number of users of the Toutiao app, it has entered the field of e-commerce. Its success rate is not small, even if it is not high.

　　If you think about it this way, it is not impossible to invest in Jingdong in advance to learn from experience and lay the foundation for your own intervention in the future.

　　 But for what reason do you cooperate? The main business of the New Era Group is media. Although it has already made efforts in the direction of cultural tourism, it still has some problems with e-commerce. Wait, Jingdong seems to have invested in the country Z’s Tuniu travel network, which is not bad. reason.

　　 In Liu Dong's worried and expectant gaze, Yang Cheng said, "Does Jingdong have any intention to intervene in the tourism sector?"

　　 Liu Dong was taken aback, "There is indeed investment, but it is not a strategic entry."

　　 Yang Cheng said, there is no more information. If it is not a strategic plan, there is no need for cooperation.

And compared to Liu Dong, Yang Cheng is more optimistic about Ma Yun’s leadership of Alibaba. If it develops according to the future inertia, after Jingdong’s mandatory profitability, the stock price is still falling. This is due to Jingdong’s revenue increase. The speed slowed down, even lower than 30% at one time, far lower than Ari’s 50%, so investors are not optimistic about such a phased profit. There is no future, and this is directly reflected in the stock price.

　　 It is precisely for this reason that if Yang Cheng cannot bring complementary resources or commercial returns to Yang Cheng, he will never consider investing in Jingdong.
