Chapter 1339: Los Angeles

Los Angeles, California, is known as the City of Angels, but it is the second oldest city in the country. Hell-bent on killing the boss New York and sitting on the throne of the largest city in the United States.

It's just that I've been working hard, and I feel like I'm missing something. Especially now that Hollywood is almost popular all over the world, the name of "City of Angels" is getting louder and louder. It seems that being away from the throne of the boss is a matter of taking half a step forward, and then turning around and twisting your ass to sit down. But New York just sits in the position of the boss and can't get down, which makes Los Angeles very crazy.

But he is not the most embarrassing city in the United States, and the most embarrassing city in the United States is the capital, Washington. As the capital of the world's only superpower, Washington is also an absolute metropolis, but it always feels like it has little presence.

Not to mention that compared to the boss New York and the second boss, Los Angeles, even Chicago, which has always been known for its bad security, is better than it, can you believe it? And then there are Houston and Philadelphia in front of it.

Even in its early years, San Francisco was more famous than it was, arguably one of the worst capitals in the world.

However, no matter how much GDP ranks, American metropolises have a common characteristic, that is, poor security. A few years ago, even a metropolis like Los Angeles was poor in shootings, and even large-scale demonstrations were accompanied by various arsons.

In short, law and order has always been one of the most headache issues for those in power in the United States, and in every presidential election, the issue of law and order is an enduring slogan with various promises.

However, compared with previous years, Los Angeles has been much better in recent years, although shootings cannot be eliminated. However, there were far fewer arson cases during various demonstrations, and there were basically no more black racist demonstrations that caused a sensation all over the world. Overall, it's okay.

"Boss, seeing you is more difficult than meeting the president. Dom, who was almost as fat as a ball, came up and gave Yang Dongxu a big hug.

Then he shook hands with Chen Xin very politely, he didn't dare to give a veneer gift or anything to his boss's woman. Although this is etiquette, he knows the protection of the Orientals. After all, his big boss is a very traditional Chinese person.

"The president wants to see you, he wants you to spend money, and when you see me, it basically means that your salary can go up again. Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Others may be bragging when they say it's easy to meet the president, but Dom is clearly not bragging. After all, it is not uncommon to see the president here in the United States, especially for a businessman like Dom, who is already worth hundreds of millions.

It's easy to see the president at a gathering of celebrities, giving money to candidates before the election. In particular, influential publicity channels such as easy-to-listen music are the main battlefield for many candidates. So it was really easy for Dom to see his president.

"BOSS, are you really optimistic about YouTube? He is still just an ordinary video website, although the speed of the rise is very fast, but it doesn't seem to be to the point where you have to run it personally, after all, we are now its major shareholder, and there is a priority for the first round of financing, so there is no need to be so anxious. ”

Chen Xin got into another car alone, and Dom sat in the back seat of this extended bulletproof Daben to talk to Yang Dongxu.

"It's not just because of him, I have other things to talk about here in the United States, and even to meet the Kennedy family. I called before because the oil pipe was moving too fast, so I'll make sure with you. Yang Dongxu said.

"I'll just say it. Dom nodded.

This is much more reasonable, after all, he knows exactly what kind of energy his big boss has. With YouTube's current fame, he can't drive his boss to fly over on his own initiative.

"At this rate, the first round of financing on YouTube's side is about to start, right?" Yang Dongxu asked casually.

He is an angel investor in YouTube, and he spent $300,000 on his first direct investment in the early days, and got 30% of the shares, which can be said to be as cheap as the price of cabbage.

After all, although the founder of YouTube felt that the website was good, he was still a little confused and uncertain about its future.

In fact, not only the founders of YouTube, but even the entire Silicon Valley can't see the future of video websites clearly, after all, they are not Yang Dongxu's foresight.

Therefore, after getting the angel investment, the founder of YouTube began to get up, and then after the launch, he felt that the market performance was okay. However, if you want to continue, the first round of financing must be opened, because the publicity expenses are really cheating.

"It's almost, it's good after the website was launched. If you want to go to the next level, the website itself must be further improved, and the publicity cost must be many times more, plus the money given to the operator, this is not a small number. The founder of YouTube doesn't have that much money, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get 30% of the shares for 300,000 US dollars. ”

"Inquire about the shares and offers they are going to come up with in the first round of financing, since this investment now feels like the return should be good, there is no reason for us to get off at this time, or dilute our equity, after all, YouTube is short of money and needs financing. We have a lot of money in our hands, and we don't know what to invest in. ”

"That's right, bosses, they're poor, but we're rich. There's no reason to get off at this time. Dom laughed.

Compared to the tech nerd he used to be, Dom now deeply appreciates the benefits of being rich. So when I see other peers having a headache for investment, I can wave a lot of money and drink wine and hug the beauty, which is really refreshing.

"It's better to get a controlling stake completely, and of course the YouTube team is doing a good job now, so the management rights can be appropriately compromised. But it's better to hold the controlling stake in your hands, after all, we spent money, so naturally we have to take more. Yang Dongxu added.

Although the biggest reason for coming to the United States this time is this oil pipe, but things have not yet reached the point where he personally ended up. So just let Dom do it, the other party knows that he is so sad about this matter and opens his mouth or something.

"Boss, what you say is as correct as the Bible, the strong should take more. There was no alcohol in the car right now, or Dom thought he would have yelled at his boss for a drink. He is already standing in the ranks of capitalists, and he feels that his boss words are simply wise words.

Compared with the sad spring and autumn after the virgin is rich, the rich people and capital on the side of the rice country are more pure. Of course, some philanthropic word-of-mouth will still operate.

But when it is time to show its fangs, it is never ambiguous, and the consideration of problems is always from the position of capital. As for those charities and fame, they are things that need to be embellished after making money, in a word, you are nothing without money.

The car drove directly into the headquarters building of Yiting Technology, compared to the time when everyone was crammed into a small office, not to mention drinking and eating, and just eating hamburgers was a problem.

Now Yitingtech is definitely a well-known large enterprise in the industry, with assets running wild on the goal of 10 billion US dollars. In addition to the current online music list with the highest credibility in the industry.

In addition to music download services and offline entity cooperation with major record companies, Yitingtech also buys a TV station with good ratings. In addition, relying on Haina's film and television resources behind it, sports is convenient for the 76ers, a championship team, with various hot spots.

At present, Yitingtech has also begun to show its prominence in news, and is one of the most typical companies that have successfully combined the Internet and industry. So Dom is not only a new billionaire with a net worth of more than 100 million, but also a darling of the media and Internet industries.

"Hey, long time no see?" Now that the company has inspected and come to the most important R&D department, Yang Yao and Kane have a big hug.

In the past, the technology research and development of Yiting Technology was controlled by Dom, the general manager, but with the rise in value, Dom is becoming more and more like a successful businessman, although the technology is not bad, but it is no longer as pure as before.

Therefore, he has been growing up with the company, and the technical aspects are getting better and better or even top-notch, but Kane, who is a little shy in personality, has become the director of the company's technical department.

It's true that Kane can't handle interpersonal relationships, but Dom takes care of it. He only needs to convince the technical department with his own skills, so dom and his cooperation can be said to complement each other. It is the main driving force behind the current prosperity of Easy Listening Technology.

"Hello boss, long time no see. A smile appeared on Kane's face.

Unlike Dom, the richer he is, the more he changes, and now he is also worth hundreds of millions, after all, he holds the original shares of Yiting Technology in his hands.

But compared to a few years ago, Kane still looks like he always has the exhaustion of not waking up, or not sleeping enough. It's not uncommon for your eyes to shine only when you see the rows of headache-inducing code, and it's not uncommon for you to fall asleep on your desk while you're working.

Anyway, what are the beautiful people, the wine, the game, and only the code is eternal, okay?

"Be sure to take care of Kane, this is our company's big baby. After coming out of the technical department, Yang Dongxu said to Dom.

"Don't worry, BOSS, I take care of the card more delicately than the hospital takes care of ICU guests. There are two full-time nannies at home, one helps him take care of everything in life, and the other helps him equip him with various nutritious meals.

The company also has three logistics services for him, a variety of physical examinations every year, proper physical exercise and massage. Dom patted his chest and said as he trembled with the fat on his body.

It's true that he's becoming more and more like a businessman now, but he's not a businessman who gets rich and gets confused. He clearly knows who he relies on to have all this now, and who is the indispensable core of technology for the company's current achievements.

So his expansion is just the expansion of spending a lot of money in the eyes of outsiders, how to do his best in the company, better implement his big boss's instructions and protect the company's big baby card, everything he does perfectly.

Maybe the previous tech nerd was that he chose the wrong path, and the current job is his life's ideal, and he loves it extremely much.
