Chapter 826: Attendance
The launch event for Sun Microsystems' new system, "Deep," was successfully held on April 15, 2007, Eastern Time.
When Sun Microsystems CEO Phillips demonstrated "Profound" to the invited guests (most of whom were major mobile phone manufacturers from around the world), the mobile phone manufacturers looked as if they had seen God.
Thanks to his good relationship with Huang Xiaochuan, he was able to meet Phillips on site without any trouble.
After the two shook hands, praise poured out of David Young's mouth like it was free, until he was hoarse from talking.
Phillips politely said to him, "Thank you!"
Phillips spread his hands: "Sir, I think you'd better ask my boss about this. I think he can give you the final answer." He said this because he knew that David Young had a good personal relationship with his boss, Huang Xiaochuan, and he was also trying to digest his boss's marketing philosophy of "free is the most expensive," so he couldn't give David Young a correct answer.
"Was it Huang Xiaochuan's idea?" After learning from Phillips that the decision came from Huang Xiaochuan, he was completely puzzled.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Okay, I got it, thank you, my friend!" He patted Phillips on the shoulder in a friendly manner and then left the scene.
After getting on the bus, he originally wanted to call his investor and friend Huang Xiaochuan immediately, but after dialing the first number, he changed his mind.
He patted the passenger seat: "Martin, arrange the itinerary. I need to go to Shanghai, China, the sooner the better!"
"Okay, boss!"
Around 8 a.m. that day, Huang Xiaochuan was swimming alone in the pool. This pool was located in the podium of the building and was not open to the public, only to internal staff. However, everyone knew that their boss would come here to swim several laps every day, so even if someone liked swimming, they wouldn't swim in this pool at their workplace.
After swimming a full 400 meters, Huang Xiaochuan stopped at the edge of the pool, panting heavily. He held onto the edge with one hand and wiped the water droplets off his face with the other.
After catching his breath, he finally got off the escalator and went ashore. Gao Song had already prepared a large bath towel, which Huang Xiaochuan took and quickly wiped his body.
The swimming pool is kept at a constant temperature all year round, so the indoor temperature was just right at the moment. However, Huang Xiaochuan, who had swum 400 meters, was very hot. He plopped down on a lounge chair and drank a glass of water in one gulp.
"Gao Song, I see you've got a little belly now. You should try to be like Youyou. If you keep at it, your belly will definitely be gone in less than six months," Huang Xiaochuan said casually to Gao Song.
Gao Song replied with a bitter face, "To be honest, I still can't swim. Swimming? Forget it! Mainly because I fell into the water when I was a child, and I have a psychological trauma from it."
"I see!" Huang Xiaochuan said, no longer insisting.
Gao Song quickly added, "I work out regularly, but I probably haven't had any professional guidance, so I've gone astray."
At this point, Huang Xiaochuan's tendency to be a know-it-all resurfaced: "You could find a reliable fitness coach for professional guidance."
"Health is the foundation of everything; nothing is more important than good health."
Gao Song nodded gratefully and replied, "Yes, you're right!"
Gao Song has been working with Huang Xiaochuan for about seven or eight years. They've gotten used to each other and have a good relationship in private. On the surface, they're boss and employee, but in reality, they're like friends, and Huang Xiaochuan cares about him a lot.
After chatting for a few minutes, Gao Song checked the time and reminded him, "Mr. Huang, it's almost time."
"Understood!" Huang Xiaochuan stood up and walked towards the locker room. According to the schedule, he was going to the newly built Pudong International Financial Center in a while.
The super commercial complex project, with a building area of approximately 400,000 square meters and a total cost of US$1.5 billion, was completed today, and Huang Xiaochuan will attend the completion ceremony.
The completion ceremony was scheduled for 10 a.m. When Huang Xiaochuan arrived, Nan Hui had already been waiting for a long time. As soon as the car stopped, Nan Hui quickly stepped forward and opened the car door.
Although Nan Hui is nearly fifty years old, she is still graceful and charming. Today, she is wearing a cheongsam, which makes her voluptuous figure even more beautiful.
"Mr. Huang!" Nan Hui greeted Huang Xiaochuan respectfully.
Huang Xiaochuan nodded slightly in response, then said, "Let's go!"
The group escorted Huang Xiaochuan towards the lounge. After Huang Xiaochuan sat down in the lounge, Nan Hui handed him a schedule for today's completion ceremony and said, "This is the schedule for this morning. Please take a look."
Huang Xiaochuan took a look at it and then handed the ceremony program back to Nan Hui: "You are the CEO of Guangda Real Estate Group, so of course you should give a speech at the completion ceremony. I am a guest here today to support you."
Nan Hui knew Huang Xiaochuan's temperament, and seeing that he refused to go on stage to co-host the completion ceremony, she naturally didn't insist.
But he still said, "Today, leaders from the city and district will be attending the completion ceremony. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the situation, so I wanted to ask you to come forward."
Huang Xiaochuan asked with a smile, "What's wrong? No matter what, you're now the CEO of a real estate group with assets worth hundreds of billions, and you've dealt with so many local officials. Why are you acting so timid now that you're back in your hometown?"
Nan Hui said coquettishly, "Isn't it because you're here?"
This scene was witnessed by several senior executives of Guangda Real Estate and Nan Hui's secretary. They were all stunned. They had never seen their boss with such an expression before. Nan Hui usually had a cold face, which made people feel a chill. But today they discovered that she could also be a little woman!
However, when they thought about the identity of the person sitting next to their boss, they understood, since this person was their boss's boss.
Just then, someone called from the walkie-talkie in Nan Hui's hand. It turned out that the city and district leaders were about to arrive, and the staff arranged to receive them outside were sending a notification via walkie-talkie so that they could go out to greet them.
"Mr. Huang, I'll be going now." Nan Hui stood up and greeted Huang Xiaochuan.
"Okay, you go ahead! I'll sit for a while and then I'll come over."
Nan Hui nodded to indicate that she understood, and then led a group of senior executives out to greet the leaders.
