返回章节列表
Under the guidance of Gao Liang, Electronic Arts has consistently achieved exponential growth, amassing substantial financial strength and injecting it into the "I Want to Become a God" Financial Group. The "I Want to Become a God" Bank has expanded widely across the United States, attracting vast amounts of private capital, thereby providing Gao Liang with further capital for expansion. Old capitalists are capitalists—they are the world's greatest capitalists! Gao Liang has continuously pursued capital expansion, establishing one after another the "I Want to Become a God" Automotive Group, Fashion Group, Catering Group, Gaming Group, and Financial Group, all of which report directly to the headquarters of the "I Want to Become a God" Group, functioning as its regional managing directors. Yet, Gao Liang continues to remain hands-off. Highlight embodies the principle of "doubt those you employ, but trust them once you have entrusted them." He fully delegates authority to senior management, providing only broad strategic guidance, empowering them to grasp the key themes and execute their assigned tasks independently. At the same time, he implements democratic centralism, actively harnessing the collective wisdom of the group. When facing new situations and challenges, he opens up channels for input, encourages broad consultation, and relies on democratic voting to ensure decisions are sound and avoid potential losses due to individual judgment errors. At night, when everything is quiet, I find myself thinking about my other three wives—Dong Qiao, Ying'er, and Di'er. I wonder how they are doing. Dong Qiao should still be in New York! After handing over the affairs of my Yu Cheng Shen Automotive Group and the American Electronic Arts Company to Zhang Yупing, Dai Mengna, and others, Gao Liang went to New York with his two top bodyguards. Meanwhile, Gao Liang has completely reorganized my Yu Cheng Shen Film & Television Group, reassembling key talents such as the director with the big beard and others, all gathering in New York. My three close friends, along with the brothers from Fenghuo Hall, have also arrived in New York. It seems that San Francisco is now stabilized, and Gao Liang's development focus has shifted from California in the western United States to New York, the international metropolis in the eastern region. The scene now shifts to Dong Qiao. At the Metropolitan Music Café, adjacent to the Metropolitan Opera in New York, a stunning woman is performing "Jasmine Flower," filling the café to capacity—everyone has come specifically to hear the leading soprano, Dong Qiao. "Wow! A stunning Eastern beauty!" Many people were drooling. "I don't know if she's selling herself—well, I'm not interested in whether she is! As long as I'm impressed, she's mine!" A plump American businessman, tapping his cigarette with a steady rhythm, exhaled soft smoke into a dim corner, his eyes fixed in admiration on Dong Jiao, whose graceful, sinuous movements on stage were like a water snake in motion. To survive in New York—this rich people's paradise and the poor people's hell—Dong Jiao was giving her all in a captivating performance of dance and song. This society is realistic and unforgiving; to earn more money, Dong Jiao had finally begun to move her long, sinuous waist, which she hadn't used in years. Indeed, she possesses the potential to become a Hollywood star—her talents are exceptional, every movement precise and polished. And with her velvety voice singing the internationally renowned folk song "Jasmine Flower," she instantly captivated everyone's attention. Dong Jiao's fans have gathered in such numbers that it's now uncontrollable—some are even shouting wildly, "Welcome to the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival! We welcome you! We celebrate you!" It's clearly evident that people have already recognized Dong Jiao's true identity. Dong Jiao feels incredibly fortunate, as she now has a group of American fans. Just as she begins to feel a little satisfied, the audience erupts into excitement. "Wow! Hollywood star Heidi has just taken the stage! She's making her very first appearance at the Metropolitan Music Café! Oh my goodness! We're so lucky! We couldn't afford tickets to the Metropolitan Opera, yet here we are, getting a close look at a major star!" Many American audience members are cheering and jumping with enthusiasm. In a luxurious gown, Heidi makes a dazzling entrance, being followed by reporters. As soon as Heidi appears, she completely eclipses Dong Jiao's presence. With a look of disdain, Heidi glares at Dong Jiao and whispers to her, "You're just a little duck—no matter how hard you try!" After all, she's just a little clown duck! Dreaming of becoming a Hollywood star? That's like a frog trying to eat the flesh of a swan—pure delusion! For the first time in her life, Dong Jiao felt mocked and ridiculed, and froze in place. At that moment, her so-called fans suddenly turned against her, fully backing Haidi. "Haidi! You're the most beautiful! Perform a dance and a song for us now!" Amid the crowd's cheers, Haidi continued to mock Dong Jiao, saying, "See? At the crucial moment, no one comes to support you! If you want to make it in the American entertainment industry, you need connections—do you have any?" "Connections?" Dong Jiao suddenly realized. "And all the unspoken rules! You know what I mean!" After saying this, Haidi blew a soft breath toward Dong Jiao, then甩ed her red hair back and made a kissing gesture toward the audience with her hands, causing everyone to gasp in surprise. Hot stars, sexy stars—Hedie follows this path. Hedie wears extremely revealing attire, her ample bust almost entirely uncovered to the audience, while her short skirts on her thighs frequently lift, intentionally causing glimpses of her legs, drawing waves of "amazement" from the crowd. Just as the American bachelor previously interested in Dong Jiao now turns his attention to Hedie. Damn, such a hot, alluring woman is truly sexy! While Eastern women are beautiful, they often dress conservatively—though their slender waists are pleasing, the full, inviting bust that excites men remains hidden. With long gowns, the beauty's legs are rarely seen. In this sexually progressive nation, stage performers typically showcase a "three-point" performance—dynamic, revealing, and occasionally showing off—only then do they capture more attention. As a Hollywood sensation, Hedie naturally wins greater recognition from American men. Dong Jiao felt incredibly insecure at this moment. Just as she was about to leave the stage alone, David Borer emerged from the crowd and said to her, "If you don't mind, I'd like to position you as an investor's investment! I'll be your backstage producer, and I'll help you grow into a Hollywood star—how about that?" Dong Jiao remained silent. At that moment, Heidi finished a dance and song performance, earning enthusiastic applause from the crowd, while mocking Dong Jiao: "You'll only ever be a duckling—never a swan! Because you simply don't belong!"
