Chapter 280 Walking Alone! Overbearing Love!
At this time, both of them were standing.
Lin Xiao walked forward, gently held Wu Lingxi's shoulders and sat down on the sofa.
Her shoulders are smooth, white and graceful.
Lin Xiao even paused for half a second.
"Lucas was born in Hong Kong. His father is white and his mother is a Chinese who fled to Hong Kong. He hates his father and doesn't like Hong Kong. He also has no concept of his motherland." Lin Xiao said slowly: "He is a typical cosmopolitan, so in his mind, there are only career and family."
"I understand him very, very well and consider him one of my closest people."
Lin Xiao said slowly: "What about you?"
Wu Lingxi: "I was born in the United States. Before I started elementary school, I spent half of my time in Hong Kong and half in the United States. After I started school, I basically stayed in the United States all the time. I only went back to Hong Kong during holidays. I learned Chinese from a tutor."
Lin Xiao: "When you were in the United States, did you have more Chinese friends or more American friends?"
Wu Lingxi: “There are more Europeans and Americans.”
Lin Xiao asked: "Then do you have any concept of the motherland?"
Wu Lingxi: "A little bit, because of my family education. Our family is half capitalist and half decadent."
Lin Xiao: "Recently, your father has been causing some troubles, and he has brought a lot of capital to try to have some dialogues."
Wu Lingxi: “I know.”
Lin Xiao: "First of all, I was born and raised in China, and I can't get rid of that complex."
"And there is another point. Even capitalists need a strong home base."
Wu Lingxi listened very carefully, her beautiful big eyes still staring at him.
Lin Xiao continued: "Just take quantum mobile phones as an example."
Wu Lingxi took out her quantum mobile phone, number 002.
It originally belonged to Xia Xi, but she forcibly swapped it.
For a long time before, Xia Xi was the more powerful and domineering one, but since she accepted Wu Lingxi, she, as the elder sister, began to give in.
In terms of mobile phone appearance, quantum phones are really at the forefront.
On the high-end version, not only is the back cover made of glass, but it also comes in three colors.
Black, white, rose gold.
Bubble chose rose gold, and even Yi chose rose gold.
But Xia Xi and Wu Lingxi both chose black.
Li Shuang chose white.
Lin Xiao took out the first generation iPhone and put it aside.
There is really a world of difference in appearance.
Not to mention the first generation of iPhone, even if the second generation came out, there would still be a huge gap in appearance.
The difference in appearance between HTC's G1 and the Quantum phone is even greater.
Because these two mobile phones are still feeling their way across the river, while Lin Xiao has already been feeling his way across the river with the IPHONE of a few years later.
Lin Xiao: "You said that our quantum phone should be successful, and that's true."
"This is because I overdrawn three years of design work on the appearance and appearance, which is similar to cheating and gave me a very high starting point."
"What we strive for is to gain the upper hand."
"But the entire mobile phone industry is a long war."
"The further we go in the game, the more important the home advantage becomes."
Wu Lingxi thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't completely agree with that. I think the most important thing is the brand value."
“As long as the foundation of brand value is laid, and it is constantly innovating and full of vitality, it will continue to be successful, and even become stronger.”
Among all the girls, Wu Lingxi is the only one who always sticks to her own opinion, and often even goes against Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao also listened very carefully and then fell into deep thought.
Wu Lingxi's words seemed to be correct.
HTC was once the most successful Android phone manufacturer, but soon fell behind.
Once Samsung secured its position as the world's number one, it has basically never fallen back.
The most important reasons here, of course, are core technical strength and brand value.
Especially the brand value, it can really last for many years.
Samsung is such an idiot. After losing the Chinese market, it still maintains its position as the world's number one. I have to say there is something behind this.
According to Lin Xiao’s home field theory, does Samsung have a home field?
It doesn't look like there is, but... there should be.
Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "For others, the need for a home base may not be very strong. But for quantum mobile phones, the need for a home base is relatively large, because its Chinese attributes make it naturally factional. It's okay in recent years, but ten years later, when there is a period of factional confrontation, having a stable rear base and a strong home base will be a matter of life and death."
Wu Lingxi: “So, globalize it and weaken its Chinese characteristics.”
Lin Xiao: "For example, moving its headquarters to the United States?"
This is what Lenovo did, and of course it later had two headquarters, one in the United States and one in China.
However, after hearing Lin Xiao's words, Wu Lingxi did not refute immediately, but fell into thought.
Suppose, is it really possible to move the so-called headquarters of Quantum Mobile to the United States? Lin Xiao continued: "So, first take root in China, and then gradually expand outward, it will be more stable."
"I also support your global thinking, so after the quantum phone is successful, we will also introduce overseas capital and share the pie generously."
"Bullshit!" Wu Lingxi said, "You just want to emphasize its Chinese brand attributes. You just want to have strong nationalist sentiments. You just want to bring about the so-called industrial revolution and industrial upgrading, represent Chinese power, and gradually conquer the world."
"How could I not know what you are thinking in your heart?"
"You just deliberately downplayed these colors in front of me."
"You are a pure nationalist."
"Ridiculous patriots!"
Lin Xiao did not refute, but just smiled and asked: "What about you?"
Wu Lingxi: "I don't have any nationalist sentiment at all."
Lin Xiao: "What about patriotism?"
Wu Lingxi thought for a while and stretched out her hands: "Just a little bit, no more."
"Then let me ask you, if the day you mentioned really comes, China and the West will begin to confront each other."
"Where should we go from here?"
“Are our overseas Facebook and overseas YouTube going to become victims?”
"I know your tricks. You don't think about how much money you can make from Facebook and YouTube overseas. You are just infiltrating the industry and culture. You will have a strong position in the future when you fight the war of public opinion."
"You even think that if a confrontation between China and the West really occurs in the future, our overseas Facebook and YouTube can still become China's moat."
"Can your thoughts escape my eyes?"
"In your mind, I'm afraid we will just be cannon fodder when necessary in the future."
Wu Lingxi spoke heart-piercing words one after another.
"Anyway, in your mind, your strategic goals are always more important. From a purely personal perspective, Xia Xi, Li Shuang and the others are far more important than me."
"To you, I am nothing more than a very useful tool."
"So I'm annoyed by people like you. You have been fighting since childhood, and you are full of inexplicable emotions."
"Why, nothing to say?"
"I got your point. No matter how well Facebook and YouTube develop overseas, they will serve your fighting mentality when necessary, right? To put it nicely, they may be a buffer between China and the West, but to put it bluntly, they are just cannon fodder."
"Okay, you can go now."
"Go away, go away, go away."
"You can't convince me."
Lin Xiao looked at Wu Lingxi and said slowly: "No."
"If that day comes, I will give you all my overseas Facebook accounts."
"Whatever decision you make, I will not stop you."
"I will give you the shares and voting rights as well."
Wu Lingxi: "Really? That's amazing, are you treating me like Xia Xi?"
"As if once you say this, I will be deeply moved and will completely obey you in everything?"
Damn, this woman is really difficult to deal with.
Still, neither of them could convince the other.
Even who is right and who is wrong is basically difficult to answer.
On the surface, Lin Xiao seemed to be right, but that was because of the results he had seen before, which might also be biased.
Put aside all thoughts of struggle.
Just as Wu Lingxi envisioned, directly transform quantum technology.
One headquarters in China and one headquarters in the United States.
Bring in Texas Instruments, SoftBank Group, Sony, and even other capital in the future.
The R&D center is located in China, and the brand center is located in the United States.
It is to weaken its Chinese and national attributes.
Gradually master core technologies and core productivity, and continue to climb upward.
What will be the result in the future? When the MY war comes, what will be the result? There is no example to follow.
Victory brought about by clear-cut confrontation is victory.
Is that vague growth, the silent invasion, a kind of victory? But Lin Xiao is hard to change, and still follows his nationalist sentiment to do things.
The two people still stared at each other.
Wu Lingxi suddenly sneered: "You hypocritical man."
Her words were very confusing, but Lin Xiao understood them immediately.
Wu Lingxi has a high opinion of herself, and she always feels that she is emotionally equal to Lin Xiao.
Even, she felt.
Putting aside all the first come first served, she is the woman who has a fatal attraction to Lin Xiao.
…………………………………………
Wu Lingxi found Masayoshi Son.
"I can't stop him. His nationalist sentiment is still growing." Wu Lingxi: "He is still going to be involved in the storm and still has a clear stance."
Son Masayoshi sighed: "I knew this result a long time ago."
Masayoshi Son is a typical cosmopolitan.
He claims to be of Chinese descent and is considered Korean. He moved to Japan and is now investing all over the world.
"Arrogant and stupid fascists." Wu Lingxi continued to speak sarcastically.
"Mr. Sun, we also need to start planning."
"No matter how far he goes, we have to find a way to help him add chips and increase the stakes."
"If he succeeds in the future, we will also weaken his image as a bullshit nationalist hero, and we will take the initiative to globalize his IP and his industry."
"At least let this idiot be blurred in the Chinese and Western camps."
Son Masayoshi smiled and said, "Ms. Wu, is this love?"
Wu Lingxi: "I only talk about interests, not love."
Son: “I’ll pretend to believe it, but you’re right, so what do you think?”
Wu Lingxi: "We will push Texas Instruments to invest in quantum technology, and we will also push ARM to invest in quantum technology, and even Microsoft to invest in quantum technology in the future."
“Promote the establishment of a brand operation center for quantum technology in the United States.”
"He wants to put all the content, research and development, and industrial upgrading in China, and put the face outside."
"Also, he needs to have one or two illegitimate children in the United States."
Masayoshi Son: “It’s a very traditional approach, but it’s also very effective because it’s a natural statement.”
Wu Lingxi: "I don't know, would it be more appropriate to be a white woman in my next life? The key is..."
She didn't finish the rest of her sentence.
Because everything she said was too profit-oriented.
She also hopes that her emotions are extremely pure.
They always say that profit and capital are paramount, but it is very difficult to return to oneself.
Masayoshi Son suddenly asked: "Ms. Wu, do you know what is the most important thing for capital interest groups?"
Wu Lingxi: “What?”
Son: “Long-term, stable, pedigree.”
He almost revealed the mentality of many big capitalists in one sentence.
Then, Sun Zhengyi looked at Wu Lingxi and said, “Ms. Wu, we are all very lucky to have someone like you by Mr. Lin Xiao’s side.”
"I have always respected Mr. Lin Xiao's position, even his somewhat fierce nationalist sentiments."
"But things change over time. Some emotions are correct at certain times, but incorrect at other times."
"He is responsible for the position, and you are responsible for the interests."
"He is responsible for emotions, and you are responsible for rationality."
“It’s not about long-term positions, it’s about long-term interests.”
"If he wants to run wild, let him do it, because great groups are all created that way. And you are responsible for expanding his interests and diversifying the risks."
"But can he understand and approve of your behavior?"
Wu Lingxi: "I will be strong in this regard. I will do it first and talk later."
"I'm not Xia Xi, and I'm certainly not Li Shuang. I won't spoil him."
This is the position of Wu Lingxi, Son Masayoshi and others.
Deep down in his heart, Lin Xiao thought that everything he did was to serve the rise of the nation.
The long-term goal of Masayoshi Son and Wu Lingxi is to make Lin Xiao a global powerful person.
Less righteousness, more self-interest.
…………………………………………
Wu Lingxi was very proactive and next she represented Lin Xiao to negotiate with Texas Instruments.
"We invest in quantum technology?" Richard Templeton was surprised.
Wu Lingxi: "Don't you want to?"
Richard: "Ms. Wu, after more than two years of dealing with each other, I admire Mr. Lin Xiao very much. Although the offer you gave me is ridiculously high, and the valuation of quantum technology is also ridiculously high, it is not completely unacceptable to us."
"In fact, according to my understanding, Mr. Lin Xiao is very stingy with his control over core assets."
"Quantum technology is the sole focus of his third venture, and he has never said that he would open up related equity."
"Look at him, Facebook is not listed, Lightning Entertainment is not listed, and Lightning Games is not listed."
Texas Instruments currently has about $3 billion in cash on hand, which is not a lot, but not a little either.
And Wu Lingxi's offer to Texas Instruments was indeed surprisingly high.
So, this is obviously a long-term negotiation, and the two sides are only in preliminary contact now.
I don’t know how many meetings will be needed at Texas Instruments.
Next, Wu Lingxi negotiated with people from the British ARM company under the introduction of Masayoshi Son.
Promote ARM's investment in quantum technology.
Lightning Group owns a small amount of ARM shares and is now pushing ARM to invest in quantum technology, which is a typical cross-holding.
After that, her contact with Microsoft was very cautious.
Or even just testing the waters.
At this time, Microsoft was extremely arrogant because it had absolute hegemony even in mobile phone systems.
IOS and Android were only recently launched.
In addition to Nokia's Symbian, a large number of mobile phones now use Microsoft's mobile operating system.
He agreed with Lin Xiao. To a giant as arrogant as Microsoft, he would only bow down completely unless he had no other choice.
…………………………………………
Lian Yi, who was studying for a doctorate at Yale Law School, was very unexpectedly asked to visit Wu Lingxi.
New Haven is a small town, but it has many first-class restaurants.
The two girls strolling in this beautiful town have become the most beautiful scenery themselves.
Lian Yi has been in the United States for two and a half years.
She really looked like a little girl before, and now she is still youthful and invincible, but with a bit more feminine charm.
When flowers are in bloom, pick them.
However, for various reasons, the flower has remained in full bloom until now and has never been picked.
"Didn't Lin Xiao come to see you?" Wu Lingxi asked directly.
Lian Yi said: "I came here only once, more than two years ago, because of Wu Di's matter."
That incident actually had a huge impact on Lian Yi.
She suddenly realized that love could be expressed in this way.
"Childish!" Wu Lingxi complained.
"He is a person who is childish in everything he does from beginning to end."
"On the surface, he seems sophisticated, but in reality, he is no different from a high school student."
"His reputation has clearly been cleared, but he has to stand up and take responsibility for the self-contamination."
"And for some unknown reason he wanted to do something big to offset the mistakes he made, as if that would make him worthy of the love he wanted."
"He was completely immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself."
"Do you buy into this?"
"Which one doesn't come to you, but silently dedicates himself to you, fights against the whole world for you, full of the thinking of a middle school boy."
Lian Yi didn't say anything, just lowered her head and cut the steak.
That's how she felt during the past two years.
Lin Xiao was not around, yet he was everywhere.
Although he was thousands of miles away, he struck her heart again and again, yet she said nothing. That strong emotion seemed to be constantly fermenting in her heart, yet she was completely unable to vent it.
Wu Lingxi: "Same to you."
"I originally thought that studying economics and working in investment banking would be of great use to him. But later I foresaw the huge conflicts he might face in the future, so I decided to go to law school. I also actively joined the most high-end legal team in the United States and followed a top mentor, hoping to do my best to help him at critical moments in the future."
"Lian Yi, what are you playing?"
"I don't forgive you, but do I love you more than before?"
"What are you trying to prove?"
"Two immature high school students."
Lian Yi did not refute. As she listened, tears began to fall.
Her growing environment was completely different. She grew up in a greenhouse and her worldview was extremely simple.
She is nothing like Wu Lingxi, who was born into a big capitalist family with complicated interests and power struggles.
What happened three years ago was almost a devastating blow to her spiritual world.
And it has never been rebuilt.
She didn't know what to do.
So just as Wu Lingxi said, the only way she could find was.
I don't forgive you.
But, I love you more.
I will work hard to grow up, and I will give everything for you at the critical moment, so that you will feel guilty and regret.
Wu Lingxi smiled and said, "You don't want him, and Xiao Momo doesn't want him either."
"She is still a teacher at Linshan No. 1 Middle School. Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Wanli returned all the engagement gifts to Lin Xiao's family."
"He deserves it!"
"However, from what it looks like now, the two of you are completely not meant to be together. It's impossible for you to be together."
Upon hearing this, Lian Yi's pretty little face turned pale instantly.
Wu Lingxi said: "Your father's career and Lin Xiao's career are now completely tied together."
"Before, it was your father who had always been helping Lin Xiao with his career, and this time, Lin Xiao gave his all and tried his best to help your father with his career."
"You know he borrowed $1 billion. He borrowed $1 billion in U.S. dollars and several billion in RMB."
"He never said sorry to you, but he used another way to atone for your whole family."
"I actually have always been against him returning to China, the center of the storm, to be questioned about his morality by everyone again."
"But I couldn't stop him."
"Don't you think about the simplest truth? If your father moves to a higher position in the future, how can he and Lin Xiao's careers be so closely tied together and become father-in-law and son-in-law?"
"There is no future for the two of you."
Lian Yi couldn't stop crying anymore.
Wu Lingxi said slowly: "I think women don't have to have marriage, don't have to have a family, and don't have to have a man."
"Of course, if you feel incomplete, just have a child."
"And then pour all your love into this child, isn't that better?"
"If you have this idea one day, remember to tell me, okay?"
……………………………………
Two days later!
Lin Xiao confronted Wu Lingxi again.
He once again felt the feeling of the inferior overthrowing the superior, and felt the feeling that the Japanese military was acting on its own and kidnapping the country.
Unknowingly, Wu Lingxi had done so many things behind his back.
"Childish, naive!" Wu Lingxi did not admit her mistake, but sneered: "With your attitude, when will you be able to break the ice?"
"Imagine that she will change her worldview all at once and accept your ridiculous family of three? Accept your legitimate marriage of two wives? It's a pipe dream!"
"What do women rely on? Cheating!"
"First coax her into giving birth to the baby, and then gradually break through the original bottom line."
“The bottom line is something that is meant to be broken through.”
"You don't even break the first bottom line, and you still want to break the ice."
"I've seen a lot of things, and I've seen a lot of wives and concubines, but if you don't take the initiative, the rules and regulations in her mind will never be broken."
"Give her an illusion first. She gave birth to a child, but she still has nothing to do with you and still hasn't forgiven you."
"After giving birth, her mindset will change."
“Then everything just fell into place.”
Lin Xiao stared at Wu Lingxi, and he finally felt Liao Feng's pain.
Once this woman in front of me makes a decision, she will go it alone.
She will not be determined by anyone else's thinking and will keep going until she achieves her desired goal.
Lin Xiao said slowly: "You are not Li Shuang, you are not interested in a family of three. You just want me to give birth to a child with American nationality and then keep him in the United States."
"It's like a token of allegiance? A token of allegiance to American capital?"
Wu Lingxi: "Do you have to say it so harshly? What's wrong with putting your eggs in different baskets?"
Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.
Even Lin Xiao could feel that Wu Lingxi also had a strong desire to win against him.
She always wanted to prove that she was right.
The only difference from before is that Wu Lingxi's independent action this time is still entirely for the benefit of Lin Xiao, or for the benefit of the entire group.
Lin Xiao calmed down, and his originally sharp eyes became gentle.
For some reason, Wu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed and uneasy.
Lin Xiao said gently: "I support your idea. I have said it before. My world is very small. The most important thing is you guys."
"In many matters, if you keep insisting, I will give in."
"Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind."
"Since you want to suppress me and prove that you are right, then...then suppress me."
"If you want to compete with me for victory or defeat, then...then I will admit defeat."
Wu Lingxi took a half step back: "Lin Xiao, I warn you not to speak in this tone. Don't treat me like a little girl. I won't fall for it."
Lin Xiao continued: "But, Xixi!"
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. You want me to give birth to a child with American citizenship, just as a token of my loyalty or as a statement of my opinion."
"I agree with everything. I obey you."
"But for this child, don't ask someone else to give birth to it. Can't you give birth to it yourself?"
"You have the final say over your child. You can raise him/her however you want."
"It's OK if he/she inherits the assets you manage in the future."
Suddenly, Wu Lingxi felt extremely panicked, her legs went weak, and she just wanted to run away.
It was as if I was back to the time when I was constantly teased through text messages and then gradually fell in love with her.
This feeling is both resisted and addictive.
