Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

The voice of the TV came from the other end of the phone, and his girlfriend Jennifer's voice was urgent: "I'm fine, how about you? Have you met the new boss? Will there be any changes in work?"

"I see." Xu Guoping laughed, "A good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"...Let's hear the good news first."

"The good news is that there will be no changes to jobs for now."

"Great!" Jennifer said excitedly, "I knew you would do it. Since you won't be laid off, what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is, I have to go to New York today with my new boss, and you're going to be home alone tonight."

"...What!" Jennifer seemed to blame him for making herself a false alarm, and then said, "This matter is more important now, and I don't care. But it's really bad news that I can't eat the delicious food you made."

"I'll call you when I get to New York."

"Don't worry, we'll celebrate when you come back." Jennifer said in a gentle voice, "I'm going to buy a set of clothes that you're sure to like..."

Xu Guoping was secretly warm, and laughed with her a few more times before saying: "I still want to discuss with Daniel and the others how to carry out the work in October, so let's stop here first. I love you."

"Go!"

After Xu Guoping hung up the phone, he felt longing.

If the job can be stabilized or even improved, then in the near future, you may be able to buy your own house.At that time, if you propose again, you will be more confident.

The best thing is to be reused by the new boss and help him get a green card completely.

But when I got back to the dining table, I felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Xu." Daniel looked at him with a complicated expression, "The friend in the finance department is willing to tell me now that the new boss is from Nihong, and they don't have other companies in the United States. Even if the office in the United States can be kept, But if we are employees of a foreign company in the US office, you want the company to help you apply for a green card..."

Xu Guoping's face suddenly changed, and he fell silent.

Then he forced a smile and said, "I still don't know what the boss's plan is. Regarding the green card, we can only take it slowly."

However, his heart finally became uneasy, and at the same time he remembered why the boss asked him if he had a green card.

I don't know if there will be answers to these doubts in the afternoon...

……

At noon, Tao Zhiming just met with the bosses or editor-in-chiefs of some fashion media that Hector contacted, introduced the Tokyo Fashion Festival, and then said that the executive committee will send a formal invitation letter, and someone will contact them Arrange round-trip air tickets.

Nihong paid for it, and there will be remuneration, which can be regarded as a fat business trip.Besides, Hector is also a well-known rich man in the United States after all, he praised Tao Zhiming for a while, why would these people mind getting to know another rich man?

As for whether he was secretly complaining about the fact that Nihong people are really rich, spending so much money to make people stupid and rich, Tao Zhiming didn't care.

Anyway, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arranged special expenses for the part of inviting international media to Tokyo to report.

After returning to Hector's company, Tao Zhiming first asked Maehara Kumina to contact Gulfstream's sales director, and called Xu Guoping over.

There were only the two of them in the room, and Xu Guoping felt very uneasy because he was more anxious about the future.

After thinking about it, he still asked, "Boss, what are your plans for going to New York today? I can make preparations first. If you have any questions to ask me, I will answer everything I know."

Tao Zhiming looked at him, suddenly laughed, and asked in Chinese, "Have you been in the United States for eight years? Now it costs more than 5 yuan a year. Is Stanford's doctorate so worthless?"

Xu Guoping was taken aback. He didn't know why the boss could speak Chinese, and the pronunciation...was very pure.So he tentatively replied: "The company has paid a lot... Boss, do you have a lot of business with Xia Guo?"

"Well, I have a company in Xiangdao." Tao Zhiming said something later, and asked, "Are you going to get a green card first, and apply for naturalization after you meet the requirements?"

Xu Guoping didn't know why he asked these questions, but this matter was very important to him. Since he asked, Xu Guoping said: "Yes. When he entered Mr. Hector's company, he promised me this. Take it down The H1B visa is for me, and it has been 3 years, if I still can’t get a green card within 3 years, I can’t stay in the United States.”

Tao Zhiming doesn't judge his desire to stay in the United States, the mainstream of the times is like this.

As long as he is useful to him, Tao Zhiming would rather have such a person who has a special bond with him.

So he asked with a smile: "Is your girlfriend from the United States?"

"Yes……"

Tao Zhiming looked at him meaningfully: "Isn't it the most convenient way to marry and immigrate? Besides, you also have a work visa, and as a doctor of Stanford, your annual income is not low. Why, you are 33 years old, and your girlfriend refuses? "

Xu Guoping was silent for a while, and then said: "She said that she hoped that I would get married after I got a green card, because I don't want to be investigated by the immigration bureau after getting married."

Tao Zhiming nodded knowingly, and then asked: "The mechanical engineering you studied has worked at RIVA for more than a year. Don't you think it's overqualified? Fluid machinery, if you went to a college to teach or a corresponding research institution, you would have obtained It should be easy to get a green card, right?"

Although the United States has begun to restrict immigration, it tends to attract high-quality talents.Tao Zhiming actually wanted to know why he went to such a yacht company to do after-sales technology.

Xu Guoping was silent for a while, and then said truthfully: "The salary here is high, and the circle is bigger, I want to have more channels."

He didn't mind Tao Zhiming asking such in-depth questions, the green card was indeed his important goal.The more carefully the boss asks these questions, the easier it is to make a decision.

Sure enough, Tao Zhiming nodded and said, "If I don't apply for a green card for you, will you simply resign?"

"Boss." Xu Guoping also asked truthfully, "After RIVA was acquired by you, isn't it a US company? You have to understand that my visa will completely expire in less than three years."

"Hector promised to help you apply for a green card. He is going to sell the company, but you didn't go to him?" Tao Zhiming asked something else with a smile.

"He said, if you decide to lay me off, go back to his company. The green card application ... is in the queue."

Tao Zhiming smiled noncommittally, and lined up for a ghost.

It is reasonable to say that it should be easy for a person with a top degree from a top prestigious school like Xu Guoping to apply.To put it bluntly, this is the oppression of American bosses on the labor force who wants to obtain a green card in the United States.

Help get the work visa first, within the validity period of the visa, of course, you can delay it as long as you can.If the official job changes, it will bring a lot of trouble.

Make no mistake, what's in the queue is just an excuse.With Hector's financial resources, it is normal to have a lot of influence in the local bureaucracy.In fact, he is quite kind, after all, he pays a good salary.Otherwise, it shouldn't be difficult for Xu Guoping to change jobs.However, Xu Guoping chose to endure it.

So Tao Zhiming said frankly: "If you want me to help you get a green card, it's very simple. But, you need to gain my trust and appreciation first."

"How...how can you help me with this problem?"

"There are many ways." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "In the final analysis, it is not a matter of money. If you are a millionaire and multi-millionaire now, and you have this degree, how difficult is it to immigrate."

Instead, he wondered why Xu Guoping made this matter so difficult. He didn't know if it was because he had been studying in school and didn't know enough about the policies and ways of the United States, or there were other difficulties.

But judging from his choice to work in the company and his willingness to accept after-sales work, this person is not naive.In addition to placing his hopes on the thoughtful company founded by a rich man like Hector, he also talked about his local girlfriend and wanted to achieve his goal through marriage.As for the after-sales service of yachts, they are all rich people. Who knows if he has other ideas?

Tao Zhiming hoped that he was already a bit shrewd and considerate.

Xu Guoping said helplessly, "Millionaire..."

I only earn more than 5 yuan a year, plus the money I have to spend every year, how many years do I have to save 100 million?

Tao Zhiming then chatted with him, talking about his major, his knowledge of yachting technology, and interspersed with his domestic situation from time to time.

I was born in a rural area, and my parents are still working in the country. It is a great leap in my life to come to Stanford to study for a Ph.D.

Tao Zhiming didn't ask about how he planned to arrange his parents in the future, but tried his best to examine him from his study experience, work experience, knowledge reserve and workplace cognition shown now.

Of course Xu Guoping could hear his purpose, and Xu Guoping believed that he could help him get a green card.After all, he is the one who can buy a yacht company with many years of history from Hector, and financial power represents strength.

While chatting, someone knocked on the door.I saw Baron Berger from KPMG walking in, and then said: "Mr. Tao, Alyssa and Ms. Jiu Mina are already in contact with RIVA's financial department. You said that you have other things to ask us this time ..."

Tao Zhiming nodded, and before he could speak, Xu Guoping asked, "Boss, I'll wait outside first."

"It's okay, let's listen together."

Xu Guoping’s heart was moved by Tao Zhiming’s words, and he sat down honestly, and the boss said to this person from KPMG: “I have some ideas about the video rental industry. I heard from a friend that there is a company called Blockbuster in the United States. The model is pretty good, I wonder if they have the possibility of being acquired?"

Baron was stunned, another acquisition?Speaking of which, he really knew this, and immediately replied: "Mr. Tao has been involved in many industries and has a wide range of news channels. In fact, Blockbuster's acquisition is indeed possible, but Mr. Wayne should have already negotiated with him. about there."

"Really?" Tao Zhiming thinks that it is indeed October now, but he has been busy with the Hokkaido Music Festival, yachts and various things before, so he can't take care of it.

During the growth of Netflix, the Blockbuster they subverted was the memory of an entire generation in the United States.Tao Zhiming only remembers that its founder sold the company this year, and it was actually Wayne who promoted Blockbuster's success.It's just that Tao Zhiming is very clear that Blockbuster's model is not difficult to implement. He is confident that he can do better than Wayne, and there will be more space in the future.

So Tao Zhiming asked again: "Mr. Baron, can you arrange someone to contact the founder of Blockbuster? The details of their business model, asking price, Mr. Wayne's bid. If possible, I am very interested."

Of course, Barron would not refuse, and it was another new order, so he said, "I heard that the current price is negotiating between 1600 million and 2000 million yuan. Mr. Tao, your bottom line is..."

"I can sell more than Mr. Wayne." Tao Zhiming said succinctly, "How much you can help me talk about depends on your company's ability."

"I see!" Barron was very motivated. Although it was not as good as the 5000 million yuan acquisition of RIVA, it was a new business after all, and it seemed that this neon man was going to make a big splash in the US market.

So he asked again with a smile: "Mr. Tao, there will be more and more properties in the United States in the future. Don't you need to buy some real estate in the United States?"

In the United States today, many places are full of neon people waving banknotes to buy buildings, apartments, and even villas.

The one in front of me may be too!

Tao Zhiming just smiled: "It should be needed in the future, but I'm a bit picky about the location. Mr. Baron, if there are suitable villas by the sea in New York, Los Angeles, and Florida, you can help me keep an eye on them and sort them out. Send me the information."

"Okay!" Barron was even more excited now.

Xu Guoping looked at him with a little envy, and said that he wanted to buy another company and a villa for no less than 2000 million yuan, and he had so much money at such a young age.

Baron Berg confirmed that he will carry out a large amount of business in the United States, and the starting point is to start with acquisitions. In the future, there may be many needs in this regard, so he will do his best to ensure that RIVA's acquisition audit will be done well, and he will do his best to Negotiate with Blockbuster and arrange to collect villas in three places where he intends.

Tao Zhiming just nodded, and then said: "Also, come with me to meet with Gulfstream's sales director. I'm going to book a private jet from them. It involves the corresponding procedures, and when the time comes, Neon I also want to ask Mr. Barron to help me with my tax issues."

Xu Guoping looked at him in shock, private jet?And it's Gulfstream.

At least 3000 million yuan, right?

Baron Berger didn't expect so much business this time, so wouldn't it add up to a total transaction volume of nearly 1 million yuan?The service fee they can get from KPMG will be a very considerable amount.

Gulfstream was still in contact with Tao Zhiming's flight application for the adjustment of travel time, so Tao Zhiming took this opportunity to chat with the elite of this well-known accounting firm with a very wide range of information channels.

During the whole process, Xu Guoping has been listening by the side.

Finally, when his beautiful subordinate came over and said that the Gulfstream plane was ready, Tao Zhiming got up and went to Hector to say goodbye.

Then, Xu Guoping sat in the limousine of the former boss and was caught between the two bodyguards of the new boss and went to the airport.

The car drove directly to the tarmac. When Xu Guoping got out of the car and saw the elegant and clean private jet in front of him, he was actually quite dizzy.

To go to New York by private jet?

This is really an experience I have never had before...

"Mr. Tao, the new fund you mentioned must start as soon as possible. Even if it doesn't have the previous rate of return, at least it won't be worse than those funds in Huajie, right? My proposal, you should seriously consider it." Hector Shake hands with him under the gangway of the plane, and said earnestly.

These words moved Baron and Xu Guoping again. What he admired Hector the most was the financial aspect?

Tao Zhiming smiled and said: "I will think about it carefully. Then we will meet Yidali, Hector."

"I hope that when you reach Yidali, you have already made a decision!"

"How could it be so fast?"

It's a joke, but I thought about digging a new hole with Tao Yaren before, and I can indeed talk to him in New York.

"Let's go!" Tao Zhiming waved to Hector again, and walked to the gangway first.

Looking at the Gulfstream 4 in front of him, the latest generation of products, Tao Zhiming knew that the other party was the best for him, and he also hoped that he would buy the most expensive one.

There was a red carpet on the ground at the lower edge of the gangway. Xu Guoping took a deep breath and looked at the back of Tao Zhiming who had already shook hands with the sales director from Gulfstream and walked up.

He didn't need to deliberately show off his strength to himself. Why did he take himself to New York?

Xu Guoping stepped on the red carpet with complicated emotions, walking towards this top-notch big toy that symbolizes wealth and status.

The words of Tao Zhiming sounded in my heart again: If you are a millionaire and multi-millionaire now, and you have this degree, how difficult is it to immigrate?

Chapter 360: Sweeping the Most Expensive Items

The enjoyment on a private jet is extraordinary.

In fact, except for people from Gulf Stream and Huona Jiangyangshui, no one else has experienced this kind of enjoyment.

But even Huona Jiangyangshui, what I have experienced before is not this kind of top-level private jet.

Xu Guoping watched Tao Zhiming's subordinates talking in neon language over there, and thought that if Tao Zhiming really wanted to reuse him, he might have to learn neon language.

But at this time, he could only sit quietly in a very comfortable seat, experiencing this feeling that was very different from taking an ordinary flight.

Not far away, Tao Zhiming was listening to Xeros Lawrence, Gulfstream's sales director, introducing the aircraft.

"The latest model, which has just been delivered this spring, can take up to 21 people, with a maximum flight speed of Mach 0.765, a range of more than 4800 nautical miles, and a practical ceiling of 13700 meters. The flight is very stable."

Before takeoff, he took Tao Zhiming to the cockpit to have a look. The design of the transparent cockpit gave the plane a different and special feeling.

The width of the cabin is more than two meters, and the aircraft used for display naturally has a special bedroom.

Kumina Maehara, who was visiting with him, looked at Tao Zhiming by accident, and saw that the smile on his mouth hadn't changed much.

Tao Zhiming, who has seen the design of top yachts, naturally doesn't pay attention to the so-called "comfort" of private jets.What kitchen, bar, bathroom, no matter what, they are just cut out in the small space of the plane.

The biggest advantage of private jets is convenience and speed, as well as the special safety that belongs to private jet travel.

Tao Zhiming and Zeros returned to the leisure seating area in the middle of the cabin and sat on the large sofa.

The plane was already on the runway, and Zeros asked with a smile, "What do you think of this plane, Mr. Tao?"
