Chapter 359 December 9th

In the blink of an eye, it was December 9th.

Su Yehao was in his study handling business, discussing with Larry Page of Google about hiring a new CEO next year.

This decision was proposed by Larry Page himself.

Due to Google's growing size, Larry was exhausted and felt overwhelmed. After all, he wasn't a professional business management talent, and choosing to step down was for the long-term development of the company.

At the end of the year, Google's financial report was already in sight, with annual revenue exceeding $37 million for the first time, setting a new record since the company was founded.

Once the financial report was compiled and released, it was believed that the valuation of Google by third-party assessment companies would also increase to some extent during this market winter, and perhaps have a chance to touch the $4 billion threshold.

After all, whether from the perspective of market share or performance growth, Google had the strength to challenge Yahoo. It was currently only losing in terms of accumulation, not technology.

Compared to Yahoo, whose stock price continued to fall, Google was undoubtedly more favored by the capital market. The allies that Su Yehao had previously wooed would probably go crazy after seeing Google's revenue financial report this year.

In the current market environment, making money through venture capital was not an easy task.

The current CEO, Larry Page, felt that his ability was insufficient. Su Yehao naturally didn't need to force him to stay. He only asked Larry to look for candidates first and make a decision after Christmas.

Larry thanked Su Yehao for his generosity and said that the employees were all excited when they heard that this year's bonus would not be reduced.

This reminded Su Yehao.

Among those Americans, it wasn't popular to do good deeds without leaving a name. The money was about to be spent, and if he didn't take the opportunity to earn some goodwill as chairman, it would be a waste of a valuable opportunity.

So when he hung up the phone, he immediately opened a PSD file and wrote a year-end message to all Google employees in Chinese, leaving the translation to Linda Yun...

Nangong Tian poked her head in at this moment, asking with a bright smile, "Still busy? Do you have time later?"

"Yeah, there are a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and I may have to go out recently. The Maotai distillery invited me to distribute bonuses to the workers, which can also be used for publicity, to sell more wine during the peak season. There's also the Qianxin City project, the land reclamation work is basically completed, and several factories are about to be put into use. It's been a while since I went to inspect it."

Su Yehao waved to her, asking with a puzzled tone, "Is there anything you need?"

"I'm just asking if you're free today. About your son... should I go visit him? So that the reporters won't gossip again. We'll inevitably have to interact in the future, so it's good to get to know each other in advance."

After Nangong Tian finished speaking.

Su Yehao carefully considered every word, turning them over in his head several times.

Girls' thought processes were different from men's. You couldn't just look at the literal meaning of what they said. Having suffered many losses, he was already very experienced in this.

Pulling the girl over and letting her sit on his lap, Su Yehao asked, "Are you serious? I don't feel like it's necessary. I'm afraid you'll be unhappy and feel like you're compromising. Or I can prepare some small gifts and take them over when I have time."

"That won't do. Things have already become like this, and we'll have to deal with each other sooner or later."

Nangong Tian looked serious, frowned slightly, and continued,

"I've thought about it. Even if we don't meet often, we should still visit each other during festivals. As for living together, don't even dream about it. There are more conflicts with more people in the family. Only Jiang Yu, who is simple-minded, can get along well with me. You don't want me to be unhappy all the time, making you feel like you're walking on thin ice, do you?"

Every festival, Su Yehao was always so busy.

Hearing that she could try to visit during festivals, his eyes lit up immediately, and he decisively replied, "Of course, Nangong, you're so good to me, how could I bear to make you unhappy."

"Hmph, is that really the case? You only say what people like to hear, always giving people intoxicating soup, making them dizzy. It's all a routine."

Although it was a complaint, Nangong Tian could already say it in a joking tone.

Even during the most difficult time a few days ago, she couldn't truly harden her heart. After a period of digestion, she had slowly accepted the fact.

She reached out and hugged Su Yehao's head, and said again,

"I've already chosen the gift, it's a jade gourd made of jadeite. I'll show it to you later. Also, I originally wanted to take Jiang Yu with me to help me hold the fort, but I didn't expect her to be so useless. She actually ran away at the last minute, making an excuse that she wanted to finish the review of *Fung Wan: The Storm Riders* before the holiday." (Note: Fung Wan: The Storm Riders is also known as *The Storm Riders*.)

"...That's very Jiang Yu, she's always been very cowardly."

Su Yehao looked happy and wasn't worried that the girl would give Nong Qingying a bad look. If she didn't want to improve the relationship, why would she specially prepare a gift for the baby and visit the hospital in person.

He asked curiously, "Is Jiang Yu going to Si Jiucheng? There's also the *The Myth* movie, it's going to be released this holiday."

"Yeah, the special effects production of *Fung Wan* delayed the time, and a total of fifty-two episodes were filmed, otherwise it could have been completed two months ago. As for *The Myth* movie, do you think we should wait before releasing it? This year's Hong Kong box office champion is only over 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the highest box office in the mainland is only tens of millions. It's only with the strong support of the theaters that we have this result. It's definitely going to lose money after the release, and we can only rely on other overseas markets. I can't help it."

"Is it that bad? I don't seem to have really understood."

Su Yehao pondered for a moment and said,

"I'll help you find someone, and promote it in other ways first. The mainland's movie market hasn't developed yet, but since we're cultivating the market, we'll have to find a way sooner or later. There's still about two months until the Spring Festival, so there should be enough time. In addition, *The Myth* is very unique and the theme is novel, so it may be released on a small scale in Europe and America."

"But Brother Hao, you've been so busy lately, how can I bear to bother you?" Nangong Tian suddenly acted coquettishly.

Hearing her tone, Su Yehao instantly realized and said, amused,

"Okay, you deliberately dug a hole, waiting for me to help you solve it, right? Helping you and Jiang Yu's business can't be considered a bother. Tell me directly next time if you need anything..."

Assisting in the distribution of *The Myth* movie wasn't difficult.

Advertising online and printing some coupons to distribute in schools in the mainland could always attract a group of viewers.

As for overseas, since the internet user base was relatively large, online promotion was easier. As long as he agreed to cooperate with the theaters to promote it, he was confident in attracting some distributors to help, and try a small-scale release first.

The main thing was to see how much money he was willing to spend on promoting *The Myth* movie.

This movie was full of imagination, and about 80 million Hong Kong dollars had been invested in it. Jiang Yu and Nangong Tian had been busy since the preparation until the filming was completed.

Even if it was just to make them happy, Su Yehao felt that he should go all out and spend more effort preparing for this matter...
