Chapter 1345: The Right Way to Open Life - Dong Xiao

"I think Mr. Jiang, who is so generous, will not stop us from drinking," Li Qian said.

"Li Qian, are you saying I'm stingy? Is there any boss more stingy than me?" Jiang Chen glared at Li Qian, then said to Xu Jie and the other two girls, "Come, let's drink, don't worry about Li Qian."

"Mr. Jiang, please." Xu Jie and the other two girls laughed.

This time they came out with Jiang Chen and Li Qian and saw another side of them.

After drinking, Li Qian said, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Li Qian, do you dare to get drunk in front of me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"What's there to be afraid of?" At this point, Li Qian suddenly thought of the last time he got drunk in front of Jiang Chen.

She remembered that there seemed to be one time when she pulled Jiang Chen onto her body.

"I know, you are brave." Because Xu Jie and the others were there, Jiang Chen did not continue talking about this topic, but changed the subject and started chatting with Li Qian and the others.

An hour later, Jiang Chen and others left the restaurant.

In the afternoon, Jiang Chen met with Gareth Williams, CEO of Skyscanner Holdings Limited, and had a conversation with him to determine the future development of Skyscanner Holdings Limited.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Chen and four others left Skyscanner Holdings Limited.

"Next is free time. We will go to Amsterdam tomorrow." Jiang Chen said to Li Qian and others.

"Acquire Gemalto?" Li Qian asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

Gemalto was established in June 2006 through the merger of Axalto and Gemplus, the world's two largest smart card manufacturers. It is a global leader in digital security, with revenue of 3.1 billion euros in 2016 and 119 offices, research centers and service centers in 48 countries.

According to data, as early as February 2013, Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), a global leader in digital security, announced its cooperation with China UnionPay to build a secure NFC (near field communication) mobile payment ecosystem in China. According to ABI Research, China will become the world's largest mobile e-commerce market by 2014, and the NFC market payment scale will reach 8 billion US dollars.

The cooperation covers all key aspects of project deployment, including the interoperability, security and project implementation guidelines of the TSM (Trusted Service Management) platform, as well as technical standards and specifications. The consulting services provided by Gemalto will help China UnionPay build a future-oriented, secure and healthy NFC ecosystem, allowing cardholders to easily enjoy a safe and convenient mobile contactless service experience.

The acquisition of Gemalto is an important step in Xingchen Group's industrial optimization.

After all, more than a billion people around the world use our products and services in telecommunications, financial services, e-government, identity management, multimedia content, digital rights management, IT security, public transportation and other areas.

"I understand. But, Mr. Jiang, are you alone?" Li Qian blinked.

"Yes, I can do it alone." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, you haven't found a girlfriend in China. Do you like foreign girls?" Li Qian asked.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Chen glared at Li Qian angrily: "I have hundreds of girlfriends. I am a scumbag among scumbags. I am not a good person."

“Tsk, who would believe that?” Li Qian rolled his eyes.

Xu Jie and the other two girls also nodded.

They didn't believe Jiang Chen's words either.

Hundreds of girlfriends?

If Jiang Chen really had hundreds of girlfriends, it would have been exposed long ago. How could he have hidden it?

"If you don't believe it, forget it. Just go and have fun. Well, I'll reimburse you for anything worth less than 30,000 US dollars," Jiang Chen said.

"Really?" Li Qian's eyes lit up.

"Reimbursement?" Xu Jie and the other two girls were slightly stunned.

"Secretary Li, how many times have you been on business trips with me? Have I ever lied to anyone?" Jiang Chen asked.

"No, I would like to thank Mr. Jiang. Xu Jie, Shen Shuangshuang, Cheng Lingyun, let's go and spend some money." Li Qian said to Xu Jie and the other two girls.

"Okay." Xu Jie and the other two girls hesitated for a moment and then followed Li Qian.

“These people…”

Jiang Chen looked at Li Qian's four daughters and felt that one day he would be able to catch them all in one fell swoop.

After Li Qian and the other four girls left, Jiang Chen continued to do his work.

After all, Jiang Chen came to Europe for arms trade.

In addition, we are also getting some Aster-15 air defense missiles, Aster-30 air defense missiles, and Harpoon anti-ship missiles in European countries.

Now in the UK, you can also get some of it.

Besides, since you can fly with a sword, you can definitely go to other European countries to get some.

After finishing all this, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

"Are you all back?" Jiang Chen walked into the Royal Suite of the Ritz Hotel and saw Li Qian and the other three girls chatting.

"Mr. Jiang, you're coming back to live here today?" Li Qian asked in surprise.

"What else can I do if I don't come back?" Jiang Chen said this, and then changed the subject: "But, Li Qian, your words sound like a resentful woman in the deep palace... Why do I feel a little strange?"

"What did you say?" Li Qian seemed to be furious.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Jiang Chen asked back.

"Mr. Jiang, this is Britain." Li Qian said.

"So, you think we can do anything?" Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

"You, huh." Li Qian snorted.

"Go to bed early. Tomorrow is the 13th. In the next few days, we will first acquire the company. Well, this is the information I investigated today. Secretary Li, please organize it later." Jiang Chen took out a document and handed it to Li Qian.

"..."Li Qian.

"Today? Now?" Li Qian asked.

"Tomorrow is fine too." Jiang Chen said.

"That's more like it." Li Qian took the information and said to Xu Jie and the other two girls, "Look, this is a capitalist."

"..."Xu Jie's three daughters.

"Go to bed early." Jiang Chen said to Xu Jie and the other two girls and then returned to the room.

Even if he couldn't do anything with Li Qian and the other three girls this time, he could still build trust between them.

The next day, Jiang Chen and others went to Amsterdam and acquired Gemalto.

After acquiring Gemalto, Jiang Chen and others went to Germany and acquired Germany's TFH.

Germany's TFH was founded on May 22, 2010 and is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. It is a high-end supplier of traditional engine and new energy battery cooling systems. Its main products include engine cooling system products, new energy vehicle battery cooling series products, inflation pipe series products, intake pipe series products and other products.

Germany's TFH has its own patented creatube process, which is an automatic one-piece rubber hose production technology. Compared with traditional production processes, it has higher production efficiency and more stable and reliable quality. It also masters the core technology of TPV hoses and nylon tubes. The thermal conductive plastic tube overlaps with the products of Sichuan Huan Technology and is mainly used for European high-end car brands.

It was not until July 15 that Jiang Chen and others returned to London, England.

"Okay, tomorrow is the start of the academic exchange."

After Jiang Chen got off the plane, he said to Li Qian and the others, "Xu Jie, the three of you will come with me to participate in the academic exchange, and Li Qian, you will be the research logicor."

"Logicor?" Li Qian was slightly stunned.

"Yes, it's Logicor."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Logicor is a European logistics company headquartered in London. It was founded in 2012. It has more than 630 logistics warehouse assets in 17 countries in Europe, with a total area of ​​approximately 13.6 million square meters. Its customers include well-known companies such as Amazon and DHL. According to the information I have received, Logicor was founded by the Blackstone Group and mainly expands its investment portfolio through acquisitions."

Blackstone founded Logicor in 2012 and has continued to expand its logistics network through acquisitions in the following years. In 2023, China Investment Corporation acquired Blackstone's Logicor logistics business for $13.8 billion (€12.25 billion), one of the largest real estate transactions in European history.

Now Jiang Chen wants to see if he can intercept Logicor.

"Mr. Jiang wants to acquire it?" Li Qian asked.

Jiang Chen nodded: "I do have this idea, but Blackstone Group may not sell Logicor at this time, so I want you to do some research first."

"Okay." Although Li Qian usually quarrels with Jiang Chen, he is very serious about his work.

"It shouldn't be difficult for you to research Logicor. After you've solved this problem, go to Paris, France and wait for me." Jiang Chen said.

"Paris, France?"

"Yes, the Lambert Mansion in Paris, France is my house. You can live in it or go to a hotel." Jiang Chen thought of this and said, "By the way, Ancaster House in London, England is also my house. Find some time to go and have a look. If it needs to be repaired, come up with a plan."

"Ancaster House?" Xu Jie said, "I heard that Ancaster House is a luxury house in the UK?"

"Yes, it's worth hundreds of millions of pounds," said Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Jiang, you are worthy of being Mr. Jiang." Xu Jie said with emotion.

"Then why stay at the Ritz Hotel?" Shen Shuangshuang asked.

"I have never lived in Ancaster House. Although there are people taking care of it, it still needs some repairs. Besides, the Ritz Hotel is more convenient," Jiang Chen explained.

"It's very convenient." Xu Jie nodded.

"Okay, there is still half a day today, you can go and do your own things." Jiang Chen said.

"We are going back to the hotel to rest." said Xu Jie, Shen Shuangshuang and Cheng Lingyun.

"I want to take a break too." Li Qian said.

"Okay, you guys go back to the hotel and I'll just walk around." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, you're just strolling around. Are you planning to research some company again?" Li Qian remembered that Jiang Chen had obtained information on two companies just by strolling around.

"It depends on the situation." Jiang Chen said.

Li Qian rolled his eyes and left with Xu Jie and the other two girls.

"Let's go first."

This time, Jiang Chen wanted to buy some gifts for his girlfriend and future girlfriends.

An hour later, Jiang Chen met a woman while shopping in the mall.

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

"Is it her?"

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Almost at the same time, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received ten medium-grade spirit stones. ]

"Ten middle-grade spirit stones?"

"This is the sixteenth sign-in."

"Okay, although there are quite a few mid-grade spirit stones now, it is not difficult to get mid-grade spirit stones by trading in the Tiannan Continent of the Fourth World, but the more the better."

“It would be nice to check in a few more times.”

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female host who signed in.

Dong Xiao, a character in "The Right Way to Open Life".

In the play, she is a professional manager and Bian Liang's first love. Dong Xiao is beautiful and has a strong self-esteem. Rationality is Dong Xiao's greatest advantage. It seems that the only person who can hurt her in this life is Bian Liang. After a struggle, she and Bian Liang reconciled. Later, Dong Xiao and Zhao Xian got together, but their road to marriage faced many obstacles. In the process of solving the problem, it was exposed that there was an essential contradiction between the two. She could not tolerate any doubt and chose to break up and pursue her new life.

“The Right Way to Open Life” started in 23 years.

"When the story begins, Dong Xiao is about forty years old."

"Dong Xiao is only thirty-four years old now."

Dong Xiao in the play is a sober person, and has always existed like a goddess in the hearts of Bian Liang and Yu Guang. She is beautiful, intelligent, and capable at work. Even men feel inferior to her. However, such a beautiful woman has not been smooth in her love life. She first fell in love with Bian Liang during school, but her mother's opposition caused her and Bian Liang to separate.

Dong Xiao was infertile because she had a miscarriage after having sex with Bian Liang. She didn't know about this until she and Zhao Xian had a pre-marital checkup. Dong Xiao's fiancé Zhao Xian is the son of the president of Hera Group. He is handsome and has returned from studying abroad. He is the prince charming in the minds of many women. But such a tall, rich and handsome man fell in love with Dong Xiao, who is much older than him.

You know, Dong Xiao is already over 40 years old. If she lived in the countryside, she could be a grandmother at this age. And Dong Xiao has never been in a relationship since she left Bian Liang. When Dong Xiao was with Zhao Xian, she felt something was wrong. Because Dong Xiao's age and the reality of being unable to have children are unacceptable to a normal family, but the Zhao family happily accepted it.

Of course, the Zhao family had a purpose. They only needed Dong Xiao's work ability. Otherwise, with Zhao Xian's ability, Hera would not be able to support it. The Zhao family's purpose was too strong, and they were also afraid that Dong Xiao would covet their property. Therefore, in the prenuptial property agreement, the Zhao family proposed that once Dong Xiao and Zhao Xian divorced, Dong Xiao would not get a penny.

Zhao's family knew that Dong Xiao was infertile and wrote an agreement about the child. It was not until Dong Xiao found out that Zhao Xian had another woman behind her back that she could no longer bear it and left Zhao Xian. Although Zhao Xian claimed that he would definitely change and would never have any contact with other women after marrying her, Dong Xiao still rejected him.

Dong Xiao suffers from breast cancer, and her illness is related to her mood. It is not difficult to imagine that Dong Xiao, who seems to be doing well on the surface, has so many things that make her depressed. How sad she must be. At the same time, Dong Xiao has no best friends, only Bian Liang and Yu Guang, two close friends. However, there are some things that she cannot mention to her friends of the opposite sex, so she can only bear her bad mood by herself.

Dong Xiao went abroad alone for surgery, but eventually, cancer caused her hair loss. The baldness of this former long-haired beauty made everyone present feel sorry.

"Dong Xiao in the play not only has a high degree and rich work experience, but also has accurate insight and a personality that pursues perfection. She performs well in the workplace and is known as a strong woman in the workplace. She also has good financial strength."

"She probably hasn't married yet."

"Since you are a professional manager... then..."

Information about Dong Xiao flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind, and then he walked over.

"Are you Dong Xiao?" Jiang Chen asked.

"You called me?" Dong Xiao was about to go shopping in the mall, but turned around when he heard Jiang Chen's words.

"right."

Jiang Chen said: "Are you Dong Xiao? I have something to talk to you about."

"Do we know each other?" Dong Xiao asked.

"This is the first time I meet you today, but I know you. My name is Jiang Chen, Dong Xiao, and I know you are a professional manager, so I want to invite you to join my company." Jiang Chen said.

"Invite me?" Dong Xiao was slightly stunned.

"Yes, I wonder if you would like to have a chat, Miss Dong Xiao?" Jiang Chen said.

"Well... okay." Dong Xiao said.

A moment later, Jiang Chen and Dong Xiao arrived at a cafe.

"Dong Xiao."

Jiang Chen looked at Dong Xiao and said, "I have a company in the UK and would like to invite you to join."

"What company?" Dong Xiao asked.

"Skyscanner Holdings Limited." Jiang Chen replied.

"Skyscanner Holdings Limited? Skyscanner Holdings Limited in London, England?" Dong Xiao asked.

“Yes, Skyscanner Holdings Limited in London, England.”

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "If you agree, you can join Skyscanner Holdings Limited and become the vice president of Skyscanner Holdings Limited."

"How did Skyscanner Holdings Limited become yours?" Dong Xiao asked.

"I just acquired Skyscanner Holdings Limited." Jiang Chen took out a business card and said, "This is my business card. I am Jiang Chen, the president of Xingchen Group."

"Xingchen Group? A company from the mainland?" Dong Xiao had never heard of Xingchen Group.

"right."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "This is the electronic version of the acquisition contract of Skyscanner Holdings Limited." Jiang Chen handed his mobile phone to Dong Xiao.

Dong Xiao opened it and took a look.

"Is this true?" Dong Xiao said.

"Of course it's true. Miss Dong Xiao, I don't have much time in the UK, so you'd better think it over carefully in a short time." Jiang Chen said.

"Then I'll call you when I've thought it over." Dong Xiao said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call." Jiang Chen said.

"Okay, I'll take my leave first." Dong Xiao said.

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded.

Soon, Dong Xiao got up and left.

"I don't know if Dong Xiao will agree." When Jiang Chen saw Dong Xiao, he thought of Lou Shuwan and Lina.

Although Dong Xiao is older than Lou Shuwan and the others, there is an unusual emotion in Dong Xiao.

"Time is running out, it's time to leave."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen stood up and left the cafe.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen returned to the Royal Suite of the Ritz Hotel.

"Are you guys applying facial masks?" Jiang Chen saw Li Qian and the other two girls on the sofa and asked, "Why aren't you in the room?"

"Isn't it okay here? Mr. Jiang, why did you come back so early today?" Li Qian said.

"Once the problem is solved, I will come back naturally." Jiang Chen poured himself a glass of water and sat on the sofa.

"Mr. Jiang, what did you do?" Li Qian asked.

"I found a professional manager for Skyscanner Holdings Limited," said Jiang Chen.

"Looking for a professional manager for Skyscanner Holdings Limited? Mr. Jiang, have you found a professional manager during this period of time?" Li Qian asked.

"right."

Jiang Chen said: "But it depends on whether the other party agrees. However, I think it is more likely that she will agree. What about you? Have you had dinner?"
