Chapter 190 Let Me See Your Determination

"Sorry, Mr. Li, I'm late." After getting out of the car, Milo bowed to Li Jianxi who came out to greet him personally.

"It doesn't matter. I believe Mr. Blackburn must have been very busy last night." Li Jianxi said with a smile, not at all teasing, "I wonder if you are satisfied."

"Very satisfied," said Milo, who looked refreshed, without further ado, "so much so that I think I should stay here a few days longer."

It was indeed very satisfying, and the series of battles made Milo have a great time.

Kim Hee Sun was proactive and enthusiastic, and she catered to the guests very well.

Although Lee Jung-hyun is shy and conservative, she can do some daring moves once she lets go, making her the best object to be played with.

Although Lee Young-ae is not as good as them in these two aspects, she can fully reconcile them on Simmons mattress, which is also indispensable.

Hehe, let’s bring together the representative women in the fields of film, television and music in South Korea currently and in the next few years.

How could I not be satisfied?

"Really?" Li Jianxi narrowed his eyes.

He could tell that Milo's words had two meanings. One was that he was very satisfied with their little gifts and hoped to continue to have them accompany him in the future.

This is so easy, just say hello.

These women were available to Milo whenever he wanted.

Not unlike the food they served Milo at the table.

But... Li Jianxi looked at Milo with some envy. He should have had a lot of fun last night, right?

I don’t feel tired at all now. It’s great to be young.

No, I feel really good.

The old man remembered that he also played like this when he was young, but he would also sleep until noon the next day.

As for the second meaning, Milo will stay in South Korea for a few more days to conduct a more detailed investigation.

This means the possibility of sheltering them is high and deeper.

Otherwise, Milo would not have needed to specifically ask the three women to continue to accompany him.

"I promise that Mr. Blackburn will be satisfied in the future." Li Jianxi said immediately.

"I believe that," Milo nodded, "Well, let's go in and show me the style of Xingxingxing."

Li Jianxi immediately made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them walked towards Xingxing's factory.

This is Milo's itinerary for today, and he is accompanied by a team of reporters from a local South Korean TV station to follow and film.

This is going to be on the news, and not just in South Korea, but potentially international news as well.

Of course, the reporters were not stupid enough to take pictures of Kim Hee Sun and the other three.

They only filmed big names like Milo and Lee Gun Hee.

Although he had been on a long tour, Milo still whispered from time to time with the people from the Smith Foundation who had come to contact Xingxing before.

Occasionally he would ask Xingxing's technicians a few questions, and it seemed that he was indeed investigating, but his mind was not here.

As for Xingxing's strength, it is because he liked to tinker with smartphones when he was young in his previous life.

In addition, the Smith Foundation had collected sufficiently detailed information before he came.

Milo knew it very well, even better than Li Jianxi himself.

It is certain that he will be accepted as a dog, but the key is to make other alligators on Wall Street hold their noses and recognize his influence on the stars.

After fully understanding the relevant intelligence, Milo now has a greater ambition.

Don't forget, he is the chairman of Yahoo and has invested in many Silicon Valley companies.

In addition, Paladin Capital has also been acquiring stocks of hardware technology companies such as Qualcomm, Apple, and ARM.

Although he is not a major shareholder, if he wants, he can secure a position on the board of directors with a little manipulation.

So, his idea is simple, standard!

A standard for developing smartphone operating systems.

Third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies build brands, and first-rate companies set standards. Although this statement is biased, it is not without reason.

In simple terms, the standard is the right to speak.

If I say this is a qualified product, then it is a product, even if it has slight flaws; if I say this is a second-rate product, then it is a second-rate product, even though it is on par with first-rate products in most aspects.

Monopolizing the right to speak is equivalent to monopolizing the industry.

Let me give you an example that may not be so appropriate but is easier to understand.

Everyone knows that science fiction films and the directors who directed them may be nominated but will never win an Oscar.

No matter how well-made, exquisite, or profound the production is, this is the standard of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: works that win the Best Picture and Best Director awards must be closely related to reality.

Although this standard is tacitly accepted and not explicitly stated, in order to avoid suspicion of discrimination.

But everyone knows that this is the fact, and this is the power of discourse.

Some people might say that the era of smartphones will last at least eight, nine or even ten years.

Is it too early to plan and determine the standards now? Moreover, Milo's main business is media, his secondary business is the Internet, and his auxiliary business is finance.

Recently, an energy business has been added.

My personal goal is to have as much say as possible in the United States.

Now they are planning the standards for smartphones. Is this a bit of a futile attempt? Of course not!

Indeed, the era of smartphones is still almost ten years away.

But the concept of smartphones has already appeared, and both concept phones and prototypes are available.

The world's first recognized smartphone, IBM Simon (Simon Personal Communications Device), was born in 1993 and was manufactured by IBM and BellSouth.

This is one of them.

The standard battle has always been tedious and long-lasting, such as the standard battle between Sony and Toshiba over the high-definition DVD format that has already begun.

Another example is the subsequent dispute over 4G and 5G standards, which not only involves huge interests, but is also related to the confrontation between countries.

If you don't leave early, you will have to pay more to enter later.

This is the second one.

The reason why Buffett has become the most famous investor is that he can analyze future trends from a myriad of information.

Although this future is still vague and uncertain, there are only a few things that can be done.

Milo understands future developments better than Buffett.

And smartphones are also one of the media platforms.

If Paladin Media wants to become the world's largest media group, it cannot miss this platform.

In addition, Milo wanted to keep the Internet firmly in his hands.

The Internet is indeed just born now, but the opportunity for its future substitute, mobile Internet, to enter the market is right in front of us.

If we don't occupy this platform early, do we have to wait until others notice it before taking action?

This is the third one.

Of course, if we really want to achieve this, we will face many problems, the main ones of which come from two aspects.

"If anyone knows where the future of this world is headed, it's me."

Soaking in the hot water, Milo leaned against the wall of the pool, talking lazily on the phone, while his other hand wandered over the body of Lee Young-ae who was leaning in his arms and massaging him.

Although her technique is not very good, it is still a pleasure.

As for Lee Jung-hyun and Kim Hee-sun, they were whispering something not far away.

"You are so confident. Are you sure?" Cousin Edward praised on the other end of the phone.

In the morning, after visiting Xingxingxing’s factory under the filming of TV reporters.

Milo, who had a new idea, made many transatlantic calls.

There was his grandfather, his father, Hector, and even his maternal grandfather Herbert, Ariane's grandfather Rockefeller.

And one of the core figures of the current California consortium, Edward Wilson, his cousin.

"Of course. When have I missed it since last year? Look at those people, how miserable are they now against the Russian bear? Hahaha, threatening to start a war? Do they think the Russian bear will be afraid when it is cornered? Don't forget, they have as many Mu Hai bullets as we do!" Milo continued.

There was a noticeable silence on Edward's part.

But as Milo said, the international hot money's sniper war against the Russian bear failed.

The Russian bear turned its back on others, refused to abide by the rules of the game, and turned the whole table upside down.

Wall Street and London were furious and threatened war and sanctions.

But this time the Russian bears have no place to retreat and nothing to sell. If they retreat again, they will really be dead.

So the Russian bear also made up his mind and threw away all his credibility and face.

As for Europe and the United States, will they really start a war that could lead to the Wood-Hai War just for Wall Street and London? Not necessarily, or it is highly unlikely.

"Well, I have to say it is true," Edward said softly.

Like Hector, he withstood the pressure from within his respective consortiums.

In the end, no action was taken against Hong Kong and the Russian bear.

This meant that their profits did not decrease, and Milo used this as an excuse to leave him speechless.

"Honestly speaking, if I were given another ten years to develop, I would eat this fat cake by myself." Milo didn't care about his reaction. This was what he expected.

"But unfortunately, I'm not strong enough. So I plan to get everyone to do it together, California, Texas, Boston. If that doesn't work, I'll call Ariana's grandfather again."

As he spoke, he gently patted Lee Young-ae's face.

Then he sat up from the hot spring and leaned against the pool wall.

The dripping elephant's trunk swayed right in front of her.

Lee Young-ae didn't hesitate at all. She glanced at Milo and then...

Feeling the comfort, Milo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Edward should have digested these words.

He continued as she served him: "You are in San Francisco, very close to Silicon Valley, and you should have seen the crazy popularity of the Internet. Smartphones are the future Internet, or should I say the future mobile Internet. This is the trend of the future, that is for sure."

"But it will take at least another ten years before it can be formally developed."

After some movement, Lee Young-ae finally vomited.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There was just a thin silver thread on her lips, but her face was full of charm, as if she was delicious.

Lee Jung-hyun and Kim Hee-sun, with blushing faces, were stunned by what they saw.

Next, she turned and raised her chin to them.

The meaning was already very clear. Kim Hee Sun, who had long let go of everything, gritted her teeth, then stepped forward and swallowed it in one gulp, imitating her.

Unlike Lee Young-ae who tried to do everything, although she was equally clumsy, she only focused on one area.

It was so intense that even the towel wrapped around his hair fell off, causing Milo, who was on the phone, to take deep breaths continuously.

Faced with this situation, the hesitant Lee Jung-hyun had no choice.

In fact, there was no choice from the beginning, so when Kim Hee Sun left, she stepped forward and took it over.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Edward asked again.

"It's just a concept for now. I'll have someone write a corresponding plan. I'll invite everyone to sit together then." Milo didn't say much.

"Okay, I understand, but I need to do more analysis and discussion." Edward said after thinking about it.

Milo wanted to say something, but after glancing at the three women who were buried in front of him, he finally just said, "Then I'll wait for your news."

"Then let's stop here for now," Edward was about to hang up, but after a pause he suddenly asked in a joking voice: "I heard some noises from the beginning, you can't be..."

"We're just taking a hot spring bath together. Of course, we're doing something wonderful now." Milo laughed, but immediately let out a long hiss. Lee Jung Hyun's clumsy movements caused her teeth to hit him hard.

"You bastard..." Edward couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I won't disturb you from enjoying yourself. Be careful not to get..."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Milo quickly replied, motioning to the somewhat frightened Lee Jung Hyun to continue.

The reason why he called Edward in front of the three women was because their English was not very good.

There's no need to worry about hearing something and leaking it to Lee Jae-hee and the others.

Even so, Milo was still very careful.

After all, they had been with him for the past two days and their English had improved a bit.

That's why I swallowed back what I wanted to say in the end.

Even if Li Jianxi really asked them about his intentions, he would only get the answer that he was trying to promote cooperation.

In fact, it does not require complicated negotiations to cooperate with Xingxingxing and Hyundai to facilitate their entry into the US market.

After all, they are strong. If American companies are not capable enough, they will destroy themselves even if they have no competitors.

Chrysler and General Motors a few years later are a good example.

The same goes for Hollywood... Precisely because it has no rivals worldwide, as CG technology continues to mature, Hollywood's film investments are getting bigger and bigger, the pictures are getting more and more exquisite, but the stories are getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, Hollywood's huge influence is irreplaceable, otherwise it might have become the second automobile industry.

But it is not so easy to realize Milo's idea.

He couldn't possibly say to Edward, don't look at Nokia and Ericsson, they are so prosperous now.

Ten years later, as soon as Apple came out, they immediately declined.

At that time, Milo, who had a say in Star, Apple, Yahoo, and BlackBerry, took the lead. As long as the standards were determined, Nokia, Microsoft, etc. could be squeezed out?

Not to mention whether Edward would regard him as a paranoid person, even if Edward listened carefully to his description.

How can Milo prove it?

Although he has proven his vision many times, this prediction is still too shocking.

So it became a problem to convince Edward and the others.

If I could give myself another ten years, no, five years.

Milo dared to eat this piece of fat meat by himself.

It’s a pity that it’s not possible now if you really want to set standards.

Those people are likely to avoid themselves and create a new standard.

It's really frustrating.

Milo sighed in his heart, and then a chill rushed from his tailbone to his forehead. At the same time, the three women in front of him screamed.

He was thinking about something in his head, so he naturally relaxed his control.

so……

In the evening, around eight o'clock.

Zheng Mengjiu returned to the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul with a feeling of trepidation and excitement.

To be honest, he has been in a wonderful state of excitement from last night until now.

Because if Milo really supports him and supports him to become the helmsman of Hyundai Group.

Given the current situation in South Korea and what he knew about Milo Blackburn's influence in the United States.

Milo could do it.

Four Seasons Hotel, in the executive lounge on the 25th floor which was reserved and cleared out.

Zheng Mengjiu met Milo who was accompanied by three Korean women.

He knew all three Korean women, and he even participated in their selection.

Zheng Mengjiu was happy to learn from Li Jianxi that Milo was very satisfied with them.

"Good evening, Mr. Zheng."

Hearing the other party take the initiative to greet him, Zheng Mengjiu was terrified, "Mr. Blackburn, good evening. I am here as you ordered."

"I'm glad you can come, but I still want to know your determination."

After saying this, Zheng Mengjiu saw Milo waved to a super tall white man in a black suit next to him.

The white man in the black suit should be a bodyguard. He walked towards Zheng Mengjiu with two things in his hands.

Zheng Mengjiu looked closely and found a telescope and something with buttons, similar to a remote control.

"Take the telescope and look out of the glass on the left."

Milo said, "Take up the remote again and show me your resolve."

Zheng Mengjiu was a little confused, but looked at the telescope and remote control in front of him.

He still complied with Milo's request and was led by the bodyguard to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The bodyguard placed the telescope in front of his eyes and pointed at the city of Seoul at night outside the glass window.

Based on the movements, Zheng Mengjiu knew that he should use the telescope to look outside.

Mystifying?

Zheng Mengjiu was confused and wondered what the Americans were up to.

But he still picked up the telescope and looked at the brightly lit night view of Seoul outside.

He also heard the extremely tall bodyguard whisper in his ear, "Look at the Hyundai Group Building on your left, the top floor."

Zheng Mengjiu, who originally didn't know what to look at, suddenly had a goal.

He immediately pointed his telescope at the rooftop of his company's headquarters building.

It was very far away, at least several hundred meters away.

Zheng Mengjiu saw that on the top floor of the building of his group company's headquarters, there was a person hanging outside the terrace, swaying in the wind! He was shocked and took off the telescope and turned to look at Milo who was smiling behind him.

"This is the remote control," whispered the bodyguard who handed him the telescope.

"There's only one button on it, press it."

A remote control was stuffed into Zheng Mengjiu's somewhat stiff hand.

He opened his mouth and suddenly felt his whole body go cold.

Because just now, the super high-power telescope in his hand showed the person hanging in the headquarters building of his own group.

It looks like his younger brother, Chung Mong-hun!
