Wealthy after rebirth

Chapter 245 Request from Overseas Market

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the hotel. Shi Yining took a bath in the hotel's hot springs. He was currently lying on a lounge chair on the open balcony wearing a bathrobe. There was a carefully prepared cocktail on the small table next to him.

The temperature outside the thick laminated glass approaches zero, while the inside of the glass is as warm as spring. The specially treated glass surface will not produce fog that blocks the line of sight due to the difference in humidity and temperature. The spotless glass has a good light transmittance.

"Jack, I understand the feeling you told me back then..."

Shi Yining squinted his eyes, overlooking Lake Geneva not far away through the glass. The soft light of the setting sun shone on the lake, Mont Blanc was covered with a layer of golden gauze, and the whole world slowed down.

"Boss, it's an honor for you to agree with me."

Jack stood at the door and answered happily.

However, Boss Shi is the only one who can really enjoy the peace and quiet. Neither the bodyguards nor the secretary beside him can relax. For example, Huang Jiayan enjoyed the hot spring bath together before, but now she is sitting next to Shi Yining He was typing on his laptop on the other recliner.

"Yi Ning, the reptile company has been registered. In addition, the Federal Institute of Technology sent a letter expressing its willingness to hold an exchange meeting on human brain research. How do you see the specific arrangement?"

Shi Yining decided to set up a reptile company in this country after experiencing the climate of Switzerland in person. As for the academic exchange with ETH Zurich, it was the idea of ​​Nie Fangzhou, the head of the reptile department.

ETH Zurich ranks very high in the world. Although there are some differences in the rankings, they are basically ranked in the top ten, especially computer science and information systems, which ranks ninth in the world, and biological sciences are also among the best.

According to Nie Fangzhou, he is very eager to communicate with researchers in the field of brain-computer connection at ETH Zurich.

Naturally, Shi Yining would not refuse this kind of request. He asked Nie Fangzhou to compile a research result that could be released to the public. Using the pretext of establishing a multinational company, he asked the relevant Swiss departments to submit the data to ETH Zurich. And put forward the request of communication.

Talent support itself is a policy of attracting investment, and ETH Zurich naturally agreed to Shi Yining's request.

"I won't go to the exchange meeting, let Nie Fangzhou take the people from the department to go. I have already greeted the people from the reptile department in advance, and they are ready at any time!"

Shi Yining gave an order.

The research projects of the reptile department are relatively sensitive, and it is always difficult to put their fists to good use in the company in the capital. Some experiments that require the participation of real people have been rejected again and again and are not allowed to be carried out. After changing the environment, it is different. Many experiments that could not be done before can be further developed. Expand.

Regarding work matters, Boss Shi only needs to use his words, and someone will do the rest.

From the setting sun to the bright moon hanging high, Shi Yining has been lying on the open balcony without moving, a few glasses of wine, beautiful scenery, simple but very comfortable.

Antiquorum's Christmas auction was not scheduled for Christmas. The afternoon after Shi Yining's arrival in Geneva was the auction time.

In his free time in the morning, Shi Yining didn't continue to stay in the hotel, he decided to take a stroll in Geneva.

Geneva is an international city with a long history. Although the overall area is not large, it is like a microcosm of the whole world. There are too many important international organizations headquartered in this city.

"City of Peace", "City of Watches", "City of Meetings"...

These are people's evaluations of Geneva, which are very apt and pertinent.

Geneva's tourism industry is relatively developed, but there are not many attractions that interest Shi Yining. He will never go to those attractions that are too solemn. In the end, he just strolled around the Ariana Museum and the Patek Philippe Watch Museum.

The Ariana Museum is the most important ceramics museum in Europe, with a collection of exquisite pottery, porcelain, glazes and glassware from all over the world.

The Patek Philippe Watch Museum is a museum that introduces the development history of Patek Philippe. The five-story old house is elegant and elegant. The antique clocks and watches for hundreds of years are exquisite. Unfortunately, they are all private collections and are not for sale.

There is a Patek Philippe store not far from the museum, which can be opened next to the Patek Philippe Watch Museum, which shows the high level of this store.

Shi Yining wandered around the Patek Philippe store, and there were countless exquisite watches, but he was still thinking about the objects in the museum a hundred years ago as if he was possessed, and when he saw the new models, he felt Dull.

"Forget it, let's find some good items at the auction in the afternoon..."

Shi Yining and his party left Patek Philippe.

For Mr. Shi, there are too few times when he goes shopping empty-handed. There is no other way. After visiting the museum, although he has a deeper understanding of Patek Philippe, his vision has also been greatly improved. It's really hard to see.

Antiquorum has a dedicated building in Geneva for auctions and daily offices. The three-story old-fashioned house does not look tall, but overall it is relatively refined and elegant. The iron art and various exquisite decorations make the house look very elegant. style.

After lunch, Shi Yining and his group came to the Antiquorum Auction House. At this time, a lot of cars had gathered outside the auction house. Judging from the grade of the cars, it can be guessed that the owners of these cars were either rich or expensive.

There are limited-edition sports cars, classic cars that cannot be named, and indescribably gorgeous custom-made Rolls Royce. The most eye-catching one is a pink Bugatti Veyron, with a strong aura and a hint of sweetness. breath……

"I really don't know who is coming to the auction."

Huang Jiayan was a little apprehensive when she saw the parking lot outside the auction house. She followed Boss Shi for a stroll all the way. She didn't drive at all, and walked directly from the commercial street.

Li Jieke glanced around sharply, and said: "The people who came include luxury brand owners, foundation leaders, jewelry designers, energy giants and people who play finance."

Jack Li followed his former boss to many high-end places and was very impressed by some highly recognizable vehicles. There was only one in the world, representing a certain person or a certain wealthy family.

Shi Yining smiled, pointed vaguely at the pink Bugatti parked under the window not far away, and said, "I don't know about the other cars, but I know that the owner of that car is the car of the granddaughter of the French oil tycoon..."

Shi Yining remembered seeing related news, and he still had a fresh memory of the pink Bugatti that appeared in the news pictures. Its pink color is very characteristic, similar to the unripe strawberry powder, very light and moist.

"I didn't expect you to have set your sights overseas."

Huang Jiayan interjected at the right time, meaning something.

Shi Yining curled his lips and said, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

While chatting, Shi Yining and his group walked to the entrance of the auction house.

However, before Shi Yining could step up the stone steps, someone suddenly greeted him from behind.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Shi from the Celestial Sea Monster game?"

Although the other party spoke English, but with such a precise question, Shi Yining naturally understood who the other party was looking for. He turned his head and saw a young man looking at him with a smile on his face. The man was followed by a woman. In terms of temperament, women should be the bodyguards of young men.

Shi Yining made way for the passage leading to the door, nodded with a smile, and said, "Hello, I am the Mr. Shi you mentioned. Who are you?"

Boss Shi's English level is still good, and it is not a big problem for daily communication. If it is a professional academic discussion, it is not enough, and he needs someone around him to help translate.

The smile on the young man's face became wider after hearing Shi Yining's affirmative words, he stretched out his hand, and said, "Mr. Shi, my name is Vlad, Vlad Hancock, from England, I am a loyal fan of Survival in the Badlands! "

Vlad happily expressed his love for wasteland survival.

When he was in China, Shi Yining would occasionally encounter fans when he was traveling, but after going abroad, this situation disappeared, and he did not expect to meet him again today.

He looked at Vlad and felt that his age should be similar to his own, probably in his 20s, and should not be more than 25 years old. The short hair is exquisitely styled, and the neat suit is not like an assembly line product. It is very likely that it came from Savile. street.

"Vlad, I'm glad you like the game I made."

Shi Yining said politely, but really didn't know what to say.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Shi in Geneva. This is really great. I have a lot of questions I want to talk to you about. Oh, why don't we go in first."

Unlike Shi Yining, Vlad was very interested in talking.

Seeing that the other party was very enthusiastic, Shi Yining did not shirk his refusal, and a group of people walked into Antiquorum Auction House.

The glass and wooden doors that opened were not considered magnificent. After entering the entrance, three men in suits stepped forward to verify the identity of Shi Yining and the others.

At the beginning, Shi Yining didn't know what was special about the invitation letter. He didn't know until the staff took out special equipment to scan the invitation letter. It turned out that each invitation letter had a unique anti-counterfeiting mark on it. It may be very difficult to muddle through.

Thinking about it, the specifications of the auction are not low, and the people who come to participate in the auction are either rich or expensive. Although the law and order in Geneva is quite good in the whole of Europe, it is necessary to guard against others, in case there are gangsters. A certain rich man deliberately messed up things at the auction, that would be terrible...

After verification, Shi Yining and Vlad's invitation letters were all right. The two groups walked into the venue together. As soon as they stepped into the long corridor, the staff immediately presented exquisite tea breaks and champagne.

Different from traditional auctions, the atmosphere of Antiquorum's Christmas auction is relatively relaxed, a bit like a high-end tea party. Before the official auction starts, there will be various small programs for rich men to watch.

The auction was held on the second floor, and the first floor was the leisure area. At the moment, there were many wealthy people who were either rich or expensive. Those people had their own social circles, chatting and laughing together in groups of twos and threes.

Shi Yining took a general glance around and saw several familiar faces. He was familiar not because he knew them in real life, but because he often saw them in various media.

Vlad very warmly invited Shi Yining to sit next to the tea break area, and asked impatiently, "Mr. Shi, does Sea Monster have any detailed plans for expanding overseas markets?"

"Please don't get me wrong, I am only concerned about Europe, no, only about the development of the UK market."

Shi Yining was stunned when he heard Vlad's question. He didn't expect that the other party's concern was related to the development of the game market.

Seeing that Shi Yining didn't speak, Vlad thought that the other party still had some concerns, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Shi, I don't know how concerned you are about overseas markets, but I can give you a truthful feedback on the situation of Survival in the Wasteland in the UK. "

“I established a dedicated community for survival in the wasteland on a local social platform in the UK. The players are very enthusiastic, but server problems have been bothering us. Even if we use an international network proxy, there is still a serious network delay problem. We are very worried. I hope Kraken Company will pay attention to overseas markets..."

After listening to Vlad's words, Shi Yining understood the meaning of the other party. Whether Vlad is a real fan remains to be verified, but the other party is interested in reaching a cooperation with the sea monster game development company to act as an agent for the operation rights of Wasteland Survival in the UK.

The reason is also very good. At present, Wasteland Survival has a large number of loyal fans in the UK, and has produced related culture. I hope that the UK market will be valued by game companies. Don’t let this group of lovely fans choose to leave because of network problems. ...

"I have always considered the overseas market, but I have been very busy recently, and the domestic market has just started, so the relevant plans have been put on hold. After what you said, Mr. Flood, I think it can be put on the agenda. .”

Shi Yining prevaricated, wanting to see the other party's reaction.

Sure enough, Vlad's reaction did not disappoint Shi Yining.

"Mr. Shi, I am very familiar with the environment in the UK. If Sea Monster Game Development Company wants to choose a partner, I think I must be a good choice."

Vlad introduced himself forthrightly.

Shi Yining touched the bridge of his nose, took a sip of champagne, and with a polite and formal smile on his face, he asked, "I don't know what Mr. Vlad does for a living in England?"

He didn't know Vlad at all. He asked Li Jack quietly before, and Li Jack, an authentic British guy, had never heard of the surname Hancock, at least it hadn't appeared among celebrities.

Vlad smoothed his hair with his hands, then straightened his collar, and said formally: "My father is a scientific researcher at GlaxoSmithKline and is also one of the shareholders of GlaxoSmithKline."

Shi Yining asked about Vlad's business, but Vlad mentioned his father, obviously, he was a rich second generation.
