Chapter 949 Hao Jianguo's Superior Ability

Hao Jianguo was naturally relaxed, as all these thorny issues didn't require him to solve them; Goldman Sachs Group would handle everything.

Firstly, there were promotional issues. Although Hollywood was very unhappy with Jiangnan Group, and many big stars, besides Jackson, were unwilling to promote for them, these were not problems in front of Goldman Sachs. With just a word from Goldman Sachs, those Hollywood companies directly or indirectly controlled by them would readily cooperate with Jiangnan Group's promotions.

After all, Jiangnan Group was paying, and making money was nothing to be ashamed of.

The same applied to television stations and distributors. Issues that were extremely troublesome for Jiangnan Group were non-existent for Goldman Sachs, who could easily help Hao Jianguo resolve them.

The only trouble was likely assembling a new scientific research and technical team. Under normal circumstances, Goldman Sachs would find this quite thorny. After all, scientific researchers were not as obedient as capital, and Goldman Sachs couldn't do as they pleased; it would take time to coordinate and find these researchers.

However, since Goldman Sachs had been coveting Android for over a year and had already begun preparing to take over Android, this was no longer a problem.

Because Goldman Sachs had already prepared a corresponding team. Although this team was originally intended to be the research team for a new company that Google would establish.

However, the establishment of this new company would take some time, so it was better to hand over this team to Jiangnan Group first. Jiangnan Group, in order to speed up the production and manufacturing of products, continued to pour in a large amount of capital.

Of course, when the patent issue arose, all products developed, produced, and manufactured by Jiangnan Group would instantly become infringing scrap. This technical team, armed with the extensive experience, lessons learned, and technological achievements obtained from Jiangnan Group, would join Google and become their proprietary research and development achievements.

This was equivalent to using Jiangnan Group's money for their own research, which was incredibly satisfying for Goldman Sachs.

Therefore, less than half a month later, Boss Huang received shocking good news from Hao Jianguo – Hao Jianguo had actually completed all these difficult tasks!

In fact, honestly speaking, this work was completed in just three days. If Hao Jianguo hadn't felt that reporting it too quickly might arouse Huang He's suspicion, he would have submitted the tasks much earlier.

"Boss, everything is completed. Do you need to come over for an inspection?" Hao Jianguo asked softly, looking at Huang He on the video. He was also hoping that Huang He would come over, as Goldman Sachs' patience was almost exhausted. Last time, someone within Goldman Sachs couldn't help but make a move to detain Huang He, which the cautious Huang He had managed to evade.

If Huang He came this time, he might really not be able to leave. Of course, there was still a strong faction within Goldman Sachs that opposed forcibly detaining Huang He. It wasn't that they were particularly kind-hearted, but rather that doing so would severely damage Goldman Sachs' external image and have a significant impact on Goldman Sachs' other businesses.

Even though the action would be taken by other governments, and the detention location would be in other countries, not in the United States, ordinary people would never guess that Goldman Sachs was behind it.

However, for those international corporations and financial groups, everyone was not stupid. A little investigation would reveal who the real commander was. At that time, even if these companies chose to continue cooperating with Goldman Sachs, these individuals would likely not dare to set foot in any place controlled by the United States.

As seen from the incident with the French Stone Company back then, all European companies issued orders to their own executives: do not go to sixteen countries unless absolutely necessary. If they had to go, the company would not be responsible for any rescue measures, and all blame would be thoroughly shifted away from the company.

To go even further, the collapse of America's mask of freedom, democracy, and justice actually began from that time.

"No need, I have absolute trust in you!" Huang He shook his head and then said very directly and without concealment, "Moreover, I feel that if I were to go, I might never be able to return home. I won't even be going abroad recently, so we might never meet in the United States in the future!"

"..." Hao Jianguo fell silent. He couldn't help but resent those impatient individuals in Goldman Sachs who wanted to make a move; weren't they directly scaring people away?

At the same time, Hao Jianguo also found it strange. Although the matter was quite alarming, at that time, America's mask had not yet been torn off. To outsiders, America was still a place full of law and commercial freedom. Moreover, the Australian government had personally issued an explanation to Jiangnan Group, stating that they had received intelligence that an international fugitive was hiding among the crew members of the plane that Jiangnan Group was traveling on.

They were concerned that this fugitive might impersonate a member of the Jiangnan Group delegation traveling on the plane, hence they temporarily detained the entire Jiangnan Group delegation for individual verification.

The reason they specifically searched for Huang He was that they discovered that Huang He, who should have been on the passenger list, was not on the plane. They worried that the fugitive had kidnapped Boss Huang, and it was for Boss Huang's safety that they mobilized their forces to specifically search for him, with absolutely no other intentions.

In fact, this explanation was quite plausible. The Australian authorities even arrested this fugitive in the end, who was an old trickster famous for his scams. According to his confession, he had secretly boarded the plane through ground staff and hid in the aircraft's baggage compartment.

When the relevant personnel checked the baggage compartment, he secretly ran into the landing gear bay and, after everyone had left, escaped from the landing gear bay through the ground staff's passageway.

Although this explanation was rather "007-like," it still had some rationality, and importantly, the United States had no involvement whatsoever; it was entirely Australia's responsibility. Normal people should have allayed their concerns, at most deciding never to go to Australia again. They shouldn't have gotten involved with the unrelated United States.

However, Boss Huang, with his keen perception, directly and unequivocally informed Hao Jianguo that he would never go to the United States again.

Moreover, Boss Huang then turned around and said to Hao Jianguo, "Old Hao, I'm actually very worried about you too! You and I are both Chinese, and you are the head of our company's North American region. In the company's internal numbering, I've ranked you as number 005. Your value in the eyes of Americans is probably second only to mine!"

"I worry that when I no longer go to the United States in the future, they will shift their target to you. You've been in the United States for so many years, and it's too easy for them to find reasons to make things difficult for you. Sometimes I worry about waking up the next day and hearing news that you've been arrested by them!"

"So, Old Hao, I think you should also return to China. However, you are indispensable for this current situation. Once our 'pt' is successfully listed in the United States, you can come back," Huang He said with emotion.

"Ah!" Hao Jianguo was slightly taken aback, then quickly said, "Thank you, Boss, but if I leave, what about the American business!"

"Someone else will be responsible for the American business, and even if the entire American business is gone, it's not as important as you. You don't need to worry about your living situation back home!"

"Our group has recently launched a real estate project. We've created our own real estate company and are building properties for our employees. We've already found a beautiful place near headquarters and plan to build 88 villas. We'll give you one directly, and we old friends will live together, happy every day!"

"Additionally, the company will also develop a large resort in Zhelun Lake. It can receive tourists externally and also serve as a venue for our gatherings and vacations. It will feature large manors and traditional Chinese architecture. I'll reserve a hundred-acre manor for each of you. Life as an ancient prince wouldn't be any better than this!"

"By the way, you're not married yet, are you? Hurry up and come over. I have many bosses who want to meet talented young men like you, and their daughters are also exceptionally beautiful. I'll personally play matchmaker for you, hahahaha!"

"Thank you, Boss, I will definitely go back!" Although he didn't want to go back at all, Hao Jianguo readily agreed with a smile to match Boss Huang's mood.

After laughing, Huang He finally began to arrange the upcoming tasks. "Our 'pt' has already attracted attention, so we must win by speed. I'll give you another week. Have the technical team prepare a list of items that are confirmed and can be directly produced by us, and which components still need further research and finalization!"

"I will start manufacturing these confirmed items, and your team will continuously research and finalize more products. This way, we will be developing and manufacturing simultaneously, and we aim to begin global sales by the end of this year at the latest. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I understand. Although this task is indeed very tight, Boss, please rest assured that I will definitely complete the task!" Hao Jianguo said through gritted teeth.

"That's good. Oh, by the way, young Swift seems to have encountered some trouble. He didn't explain it clearly over the phone. Take some time to go over there, figure out what's going on, and then report back to me!" Huang He instructed finally.

"Yes!" Hao Jianguo let out a wry smile. He was clearly a traitor, yet why was he still so busy with work?
