The cake definitely has to be divided.

However, the scale of the mainland internet industry is still not that large, and the conflicts haven't intensified to the point where they need to be dealt with immediately.

Considering his own interests, Su Yehao believes it might be better to wait a little longer for the time being, using the best steel on the blade, lest he throws a flirtatious glance at a blind man.

Take 5s Asset Management as an example.

If Su Yehao were to push 5s Asset Management to finance tot, investors might not only be unappreciative, but also think that he was acting for his own benefit, using investors' money to help his own company.

Even if tot's valuation rises, it would only be wealth on paper. At least in the next year or two, there is no hope of turning losses into profits, and 5s Asset Management's investors may not buy it.

Only when the vast majority of people are optimistic about the internet and actively want to invest in the tot portal website can Su Yehao's financing maximize its value.

After all, that's how people are. What they haven't obtained is always the most precious.

Forcibly stuffing a huge fortune into their hands might instead lead to them disliking it.

He'll ignore this matter for the time being.

Su Yehao thinks it seems to be time for the public relations department to make a move, cultivating and sponsoring more experts and consultants in advance, letting them charge ahead, which may avoid a lot of trouble.

Finding "spokespersons" is a common practice for large multinational companies, and it can often have miraculous effects. Although he has a lot of followers on Weibo, he can't possibly handle everything himself, which would seem too cheap.

Not only in the mainland, but also in the United States and the European Union, it seems that it is time to increase public relations lobbying expenses. The most urgent task is how to protect his own industry. If spending a little money can divert other people's attention, it is obviously particularly cost-effective for Su Yehao...

Covered in sweat, he went home to take a shower and change clothes first.

After Nangong Tian saw him, she hurriedly brought over skin cream and applied it to his face, saying:

"Only gone out for two days, but it feels like you've tanned at least one shade darker. Anyone who didn't know better would think you went tanning. What kind of harsh conditions are on the sea fishing boat? Don't they even have parasols?"

"I don't rely on my face to make a living, why should I be so pale? Speaking of which, I accidentally caught a big octopus. Let's eat it for dinner today. How do you want to eat it?"

Su Yehao really doesn't mind getting tanned. Taking the time to fish and bask in the sun makes his life quite healthy, and he has been much more energetic recently.

Of course, it's definitely not just because of fishing.

Yin Liuli is cooperating with the authorities in the mainland, and has begun to try the internet crowdfunding project for serious illnesses. Su Yehao hasn't seen her for more than a month, and occasionally looks at her and her daughter through online videos.

Nangong Tian is also pregnant, and she's been a lot quieter at night.

Jiang Yu asked Nangong Tian to rest more. Her work has suddenly become a lot busier. Fortunately, SARS is basically over, and there are many things to do at Tianyu Entertainment, so she can't spend time with Su Yehao on romantic pursuits.

Combining these factors, Su Yehao feels a lot more relaxed recently.

After thinking about it, Nangong Tian said, "I suddenly want to eat Indian food. I know a chef from a cooking training class. He's Singaporean, but he lived in India for several years when he was young and can cook very authentic Indian food."

"..."

Su Yehao really wanted to ask her why she was torturing herself, but since he was a teacher from a cooking training class, it sounded a little cleaner and more hygienic.

After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind and nodded, answering: "Okay, then let's hire him to come to the house, using the big octopus as the main dish, and also make a few Indian dishes, and bring your mother along."

His precious daughter is pregnant, and Madam Nangong has been coming over more frequently than before recently.

The house is so big, of course there are no shortage of guest rooms, but considering that Jiang Yu also lives here, it would inevitably make Su Yehao and Jiang Yu slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, her mother is also quite busy with her business. At the end of last year, she closed the Liren Huangting Club and became an agent for several luxury brands, including Gucci, and opened stores everywhere with the expansion of Sihai International Shopping Center, so she doesn't have time to stay with Nangong Tian all day.

So the embarrassment will only last for a few days, and it will pass after a while.

...

That evening.

Zheng Yongwen came to find Su Yehao, in addition to discussing the listing of several companies represented by 5s Investment Bank, he also helped his wife's sister's daughter ask for a letter of recommendation to find a job at a US law firm.

Letters of recommendation are all about social connections.

Su Yehao's letter of recommendation has a particularly high gold content, and it's no exaggeration to say that it's one of the most important letters of recommendation in the world. This is mainly because it's the first time he's helped someone write one, so it's rare and valuable.

In the circles he is familiar with, almost no one needs to look for a job everywhere. Even if they want to find a job, they won't bother to come to Su Yehao for such a small matter.

But Zheng Yongwen has a lot of face.

Su Yehao went to the study, found a template online, copied it in English, attached his signature and seal, handed the handwritten letter of recommendation to Zheng Yongwen, and asked:

"Which law firm does your relative's daughter want to go to? Is it so hard to get in? With your status as the CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, US law firms should give you some face, and you can bring them a lot of big clients."

Zheng Yongwen was in the kitchen, watching the middle-aged chef in his fifties cook, with a slightly strange expression on his face. He reached out and touched his head.

He saw the chef adding blanched octopus cubes to the pot, followed by diced onions, diced green peppers, diced red peppers, diced tomatoes, turmeric powder, unknown sauce, masala, chili powder, ketchup, salt, and chili sauce, stirring them together and quickly taking them out of the pot for later use.

Zheng Yongwen had been to India a few years ago.

He originally wanted to experience the exotic customs, but later he contracted parasites in his brain and barely managed to save his life. He is still afraid of it now.

Su Yehao smelled the aroma and saw the chef putting chicken into the pot, stir-frying it briefly, and then adding diced onions, diced green peppers, diced red peppers, diced tomatoes, turmeric powder, unknown sauce, masala, chili powder, ketchup, and salt, chili sauce, and quickly taking it out of the pot for later use.

He asked Zheng Yongwen: "Have you eaten authentic Indian food? Is this how it's made?"

Zheng Yongwen stroked his chin, looked at the chef's elegant technique of sprinkling ingredients, and decisively said: "No need to ask, this chef must have been trained in India."

He saw the chef continue to put cooked scrambled eggs into the pot... This time Su Yehao and Zheng Yongwen could answer quickly, feeling that the scene was extremely familiar.

Sure enough.

Still diced onions, diced green peppers, diced red peppers, diced tomatoes, masala...

Just when Su Yehao felt something was wrong, to his shock, he saw the chef put the three prepared dishes on the same large plate, with a shape a bit like the Mercedes-Benz logo.

It was sprinkled with coriander and lettuce, paired with ketchup and salad dressing, and a few fried breads were also placed on it.

Su Yehao said speechlessly: "Although I don't know how to cook very well, it doesn't seem necessary to turn the same procedure into three, wouldn't it waste time?"

Zheng Yongwen was particularly calm and said:

"Don't keep me for dinner, I've suddenly become a vegetarian. Indian food is like life, you never know what will happen next. You can try it, but don't eat too much at once. After eating, observe for a while. If there's no reaction, then continue eating."

"...Hearing you say that, I'm a little nervous."

"Don't worry, you have many hospitals anyway."

...
