Chapter 394 A Strange Encounter in a Cafe(1/2)
Under the Paypal building, various luxury cars are dazzling, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maybach, Pagani, etc.
Two employees from a department store next to him looked at the sports cars and sighed.
"Since everyone knows that Paypal's ceo is the sister of Chronos·li, countless rich second-generations have come to pursue it, making luxury cars everywhere here. I thought to myself, if I open a flower shop here, I will definitely make money!"
"Oh, this is a really good idea, Jack! I see these rich second generations sending roses every day. If we jointly open a flower shop here, it will be close to the water!"
"Yes! Do it just by saying that!"
“…”
Paypal Company Ceo Office.
Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, Dongfang Yuqin and Zhou Qiqi sat together to have tea and chat.
Yu Jingqiu looked at Zhou Qiqi and asked with a smile: "Qiqi, do you like the job here? If you don't like it, just say, I'll ask your brother to change your job."
Paypal's business is developing very fast, and Yu Jingqiu is worried that Zhou Qiqi is under great pressure when she works as a CEO.
Zhou Qiqi smiled and said, "Thank you sister-in-law, I like the work here very much!"
"That's good, but you should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't be too tired of yourself!" Yu Jingqiu said.
"Yeah~" Zhou Qiqi nodded obediently, not at all like a strong woman in front of outsiders.
Li Zetian took a sip of Dahongpao and said slowly: "Now, since the paypal company has just been established, many things have not yet been on track, so he is relatively busy and will be very leisurely after a while! At that time, Qiqi will hand over the paypal company to her subordinates and instead take over a more challenging company - ebay."
Zhou Qiqi was puzzled: "Brother, what company is ebay?"
Li Zetian smiled, without answering, but looked at Dongfang Yuqin. Dongfang Yuqin smiled and took out a document from her bag, then handed it to Zhou Qiqi, while saying, "ebay is an e-commerce company, and the specific content is written in the information."
Zhou Qiqi took the document and immediately looked it up.
Li Zetian smiled and drank tea, looked at Zhou Qiqi again, intending to train her to become the "e-commerce godmother", the "online flea market queen", the most outstanding female ceo at the moment!
Although it is suspected of being nepotist, it is so what, so what!!
If you don’t have any relatives, what else can you use?
After a while, Zhou Qiqi finished reading the information, her eyes were glowing. She looked up at Li Zetian and said in surprise: "Brother, ebay is an online auction and shopping website that allows people around the world to buy and sell goods online, and a very alternative e-commerce website!!!"
Li Zetian said with a faint smile: "The current e-commerce is dominant on Amazon's website. If other e-commerce companies want to break through, they have to win. So, ebay has to come up with a strange move! Ebay's market differentiated competition with Amazon will not have too much impact on Amazon, but can develop itself well!"
After a pause, Li Zetian smiled and said, "Qiqi, ebay company thinks it is more challenging and more interesting than paypal. Are you confident that you can do it well?"
"Have confidence!" Zhou Qiqi said with a firm look on her face.
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, and then told Zhou Qiqi to understand the operation of ebay company in detail and take over the company in the future. One month later, the ebay website will be officially launched!
After chatting for a long time, it was almost noon. Yu Jingqiu said, "It's almost noon and I'm hungry. Let's go have lunch!"
"good!"
Everyone stood up and headed to the restaurant.
As soon as he walked downstairs, a large wave of rich second generation rushed over with a fiery red rose.
"Miss Zhou Qiqi, can we make friends?"
"Miss Qiqi, I love you at first sight, please accept my love!"
“…”
Zhou Qiqi's cheeks flushed, and she immediately ordered the security guard to drive the group of people away. It was so annoying!
Zhou Qiqi has a very high vision and doesn't look down on these people at all.
She fantasized that the other side of her was like her brother Zetian, and she was a super genius and a hero!!!

I haven't come to the Panda Fast Food Restaurant for a long time. At noon, Li Zetian and his party came to the Panda Fast Food Restaurant for dinner.
In recent years, Panda Fast Food Restaurant has been developing well under the management of Yue Fei in Jingshan. It has more than 4,000 chain stores and has now become the world's largest chain restaurant for Chinese fast food.
After lunch, everyone sat down and rested for a while, and the discussions of several diners came from not far away.
"Chinese fast food is indeed good, but it is still not as good as KFC, McDonald's!"
"Well, the newly released global fast food fast food rankings, Panda fast food cannot even be squeezed into the top three! I said that Panda fast food is still the industry of chronos·li!"
"Haha, do you think any industry belonging to chronos·li ranks first in the industry? Fast food is different from others, and the things here are so profound!"
"Alas, China's food culture has a long history. Which of the eight major Chinese cuisines, Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Hui cuisine, which one is not as delicious as European and American cuisine? In addition, there are many special dishes in places that are also very famous, such as Chaozhou cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Benbang cuisine, Gan cuisine, Hubei cuisine, Beijing cuisine, Tianjin cuisine, Hebei cuisine, Henan cuisine, Hakka cuisine, etc. … Uh, when I think of these, my saliva flows out. Unfortunately, we will never eat these in the United States!"
"This is true. Although there are many dishes in Panda fast food, they are limited. If it can be more abundant, Panda fast food may be more than KFC and McDonald's!"
“…”
The voices of these people attracted Yu Jingqiu's attention.
She frowned, and after a moment, she suddenly thought of something and said to Li Zetian: "Dear, do you remember that you once said you wanted to hold a food documentary program?"
Li Zetian was slightly stunned and nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, remember, "China on the Bite of the Tongue". Jingqiu, you want to..."
"Well, yes, I want to shoot it!" Yu Jingqiu said with excitement and dissatisfaction, "I just heard from a few diners over there that Panda fast food is not as good as KFC and McDonald's. In my opinion, one is that the panda fast food dishes are not rich enough, and some are not suitable for European and American tastes; the other is that European and American people do not understand Chinese food culture. I want to first shoot "China on the Bite of the Tongue" to promote Chinese food culture, so that these foreigners are interested in Chinese food, and then come to our panda fast food restaurant to eat. Panda fast food can be exclusively named in this documentary. In addition, Panda fast food restaurant can also move these Chinese specialty foods to the table of Panda fast food restaurant when filming "China on the Bite of the Tongue"!"
Yu Jingqiu became more and more excited as she spoke. Panda fast food was created by her and her father, and she was very emotional. In recent years, she was busy with the charity of the L.Y Foundation, so she ignored the development of the Panda fast food restaurant and felt a little guilty. Therefore, she really wanted to develop Panda fast food, surpassing KFC and McDonald's, and becoming the world's largest chain restaurant!
Li Zetian held Yu Jingqiu's little hand and nodded gently: "Okay, I support you. I will let someone go to China to film "China on the Bite of the Tongue", and arrange for people from the Panda Fast Food Restaurant to go together."
Yu Jingqiu said: "I want to go too. It just so happens that the l.y Foundation has charity activities in China, and I can also participate in one or two shootings!"
Li Zetian thought about it and it was fine to participate in one or two episodes. He just thought it was a local tour and taste delicious food.
So Li Zetian expressed support.
In the afternoon, Li Zetian called the Chinese Film and Television Company and told them about the documentary "China on the Bite of the Tongue", ordering them to form a crew immediately and use the most advanced high-definition cameras at present. Even how to shoot, Li Zetian explained in detail, for fear that they would not be able to shoot the effect of this documentary in their previous life.
Three days later, Li Zetian went to the airport to send Yu Jingqiu and some employees of Panda fast food restaurants on the plane.
"Be careful!" Li Zetian said, holding Yu Jingqiu.
"Um!"
Not long after, the plane took off.
Li Zetian looked at the sky and murmured: "As soon as "China on the Bite of the Tongue" was released, it has helped a lot in spreading Chinese food culture! Uh, let's not talk about it, when I think of those pictures, my saliva is almost flowing out!"
Li Zetian wiped his mouth and turned to walk outside the airport.
...
The weather in London in May is particularly good!
Li Zetian came to discuss a business - acquiring Standard Chartered Bank.
Standard Chartered Bank is a British bank built in 2018 and headquartered in London. However, the UK has very few customers and its business is mainly concentrated in emerging markets such as Asia, the subcontinent, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. The most important thing is that one of the three banknote issuing banks in Hong Kong, which plays an important role in Hong Kong!
It is almost close to 1997, and Li Zetian has to make some preparations in advance. He owns a large number of industries in Hong Kong, both public and private. He doesn't want Hong Kong to be greatly impacted by the Southeast Asian financial crisis! If he mastered Standard Chartered Bank, he would have more confidence and calmness.
In addition, the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank is also a very good investment.
Li Zetian stayed in London for more than ten days and conducted four rounds of negotiations. The board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank finally agreed to sell 60% of the shares for US$10 billion.
Li Zetian successfully took over Standard Chartered Bank and served as the chairman of the bank!
After getting this done, Li Zetian was relaxed and traveled around the UK for a few days.
Edinburgh is a famous ancient cultural city in the UK and the capital of Scotland. Some of the coffee shops here are very romantic and distinctive. Li Zetian likes to wear sunglasses and sit in a coffee shop by the window to drink coffee. The wind is gentle and sunny, the sun is as bright as a bath, and the mind is flying, and he becomes relaxed and at ease.
That afternoon, Li Zetian came to a coffee shop again. While drinking coffee, he looked around and suddenly found a blonde beauty sitting at the back of his desk was writing something. Li Zetian couldn't help but look at her. He had a good eye and found names such as "Harry Potter" and "Hogwarts Magic School".
"I'll go, this woman won't be jk Rowling, a writer in the Harry Potter series?! Well, it should be her!"
Li Zetian was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he was really right to get a vote.
At this time, Rowling had divorced and obtained permanent care from her daughter. As a single mother, Rowling's life was extremely difficult. At this time, Rowling began to write the first Harry Potter fairy tale "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". Because Rowling's house was small and cold, Rowling often went to a cafe near her home to write the story of Harry Potter on small pieces of paper.
"Hi, hello, are you writing?" Li Zetian asked on his own initiative?
"Oh, sir, hello! Yes, I'm writing!" Rowling raised her head and looked at Li Zetian and replied. She looked at Li Zetian up and down, but because Li Zetian was wearing a pair of large sunglasses, she didn't recognize Li Zetian as chronos·li. However, Li Zetian dressed decently and elegantly and had a noble temperament, and was obviously a big shot. Rowling was a little surprised.
"Have you finished writing?" Li Zetian asked. He didn't know if Rowling had finished writing the first Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone now.
"Not yet, but I've written more than half of it!" Rowling replied.
"Can you show me? I think what you wrote is quite interesting. Magic School, well, a very novel subject!" Li Zetian said with a smile.
"The manuscripts are all kept at home. Sir, if you have time now, I can go back and get them!" Rowling said excitedly, thinking that the other party doesn't look simple. If he likes my works, maybe he can contact me for the publishing house.
"Sir, my house is near the cafe, it will be here in three minutes!" Rowling thought for a while and quickly added, afraid that the other party would not be able to wait.
Li Zetian smiled slightly, "You go and get it, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, sir!"
After Rowling finished speaking, she immediately stood up and rushed home.
Not long after, she returned to the cafe, holding a stack of manuscripts in her hand.
"Sir, this is the "Harry Potter and the Stone of the Philosopher" I wrote. Please read it!" Rowling handed the manuscript to Li Zetian, then sat in front of him, with an expectation and nervous look on his face.
