Chapter 191 Half-day tour of San Francisco!

San Francisco, Montgomery District!

The San Francisco branch of the Black Rock Foundation is located in the famous building, the Transamerica Pyramid. All floors above the tenth floor are offices of the Black Rock Foundation.

Bird, who had just returned from his villa halfway up the mountain, did not stop at all and took the exclusive elevator directly to his office on the top floor.

"Mr. Bird~"

When he came out of the elevator, several staff members greeted him respectfully. Bird had a cold face and did not respond at all. He walked directly to the office of the branch manager.

Bird didn't even knock on the door. He just opened it and walked in.

The next second, a roar rang out.

"Shirt~Bird, why didn't you knock when you came in?" The person in charge, Charlie, stood up from the chair and shouted while putting on his pants that had been pulled down to his calves. Next to him was a young and beautiful golden-haired beauty who was busy wiping her mouth.

Bird frowned slightly, glanced at the somewhat embarrassed golden-haired beauty next to him and said, "Get out!"

Upon hearing this, the golden-haired beauty picked up the "small parts" of different colors that had fallen from her body without any delay and hurriedly trotted out, not forgetting to close the office door.

He didn't want to interfere in the private life of Charlie, the head of the branch. After all, his father was one of the top executives of the foundation. But he wouldn't indulge this playboy who came here to gild his reputation.

Bird pulled out a chair and sat down, watching Charlie quietly as he sorted out his clothes.

After nearly a minute, the branch manager finally put on his clothes. If someone who didn't know the situation saw it, they would not have guessed what had happened.

"Bird~What do you want to talk to me about?" Although Charlie came here to gild his reputation, he still had a little bit of brains. He knew that Bird must have something very important when he broke into his office like this.

"Something went wrong with Longteng Technology!" Bird said, glancing at Charlie who was pretending to be serious.

Hearing this, Charlie stood up immediately and said, "What did you say? What happened to Long Teng? Could it be that Morgan broke the rules and bought all the shares behind the scenes?"

Bird felt a black line on his forehead. He really didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking by letting this brainless person be in charge of the branch's affairs.

"Our foundation still holds 51% of Longteng Technology's shares on behalf of others. How could Morgan bypass us and acquire all the shares?"

Charlie himself was a little embarrassed, and smiled and sat back in his chair.

"What's going on? It can't be that Longteng Technology's new technology has been discovered by other financial groups." Charlie learned from his previous lesson and spoke in a questioning tone this time.

"Oh~ No, there is a problem with the major shareholder."

Originally, this matter was planned by Charlie's father who was at the top level of the foundation. Otherwise, how could Bird withstand the pressure from Morgan?

And he was also chosen by the top management as the operator, and all things were handed over to him to run. If he succeeded, there would naturally be benefits, but the bulk of the profits would definitely go to the head of this branch.

The person at the top also promised him that as long as Charlie came to the headquarters, the vacant position of person in charge would belong to him, Bird, otherwise he would not have gone to so much trouble to handle this matter.

"If I remember correctly, the major shareholder should be from China, his name is Su Chen, right?"

Charlie didn't know where he got the courage from when he said this. A look of contempt appeared on his face and he said, "I remember there is an old Chinese saying that goes, if you come to my territory, you coil up like a dragon and lie down like a tiger."

As he spoke, he looked at Bird who was sitting opposite him, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that in our own territory, Bird, you are still afraid of an outsider?"

"You are bringing shame to our Black Rock Foundation!"

Charlie originally thought that his words would embarrass Bird. After all, Bird had never looked at him straight in the eye since he came to the San Francisco branch. The same was true for the group of people below. They all thought he was there to gild his reputation.

Every time he wanted to do something, Bird would always come to clean up his mess. As a result, Charlie's prestige in the branch continued to decline. If it weren't for his father, a senior executive, he would have been sent to the island to raise fish long ago.

"Huh?" Charlie suddenly realized that Bird's expression was so strange. Shouldn't he be ashamed, but now he looked at him as if he was a stupid dog.

"Stupid dog?" Charlie, who was a little slow to realize it, finally understood that this person was talking about him. Just as he was about to slam the table in anger, he heard Bird's voice.

"Haha~ I wonder if Master Charlie has ever heard of this ancient Chinese saying."

"You are not a fierce dragon that can't cross the river. Do you think Mr. Su is a simple person? Haha~ Even your father, Mr. Charles, wouldn't dare to be as arrogant as you in front of Mr. Su!"

"Impossible~Absolutely impossible!" Charlie shook his head like a rattle. He would never believe what Bird said.

You have to know that his father is a well-known figure in Bald Eagle. Even the direct descendants of big families like Morgan and Ross would give him some face. How could he be as unbearable as Bird said?

Bird glanced at Charlie who was a little excited, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "What if Mr. Su is the big boss behind IPS."

"IPS?" Charlie opened his mouth and looked at Bird in disbelief, as if he wanted to see a trace of lying on his face.

But he looked around and didn't notice any change in his expression.

Charlie slumped in the chair. He had to accept this reality. In fact, he knew in his heart that Bird would definitely not lie about such an important matter, but this fact was too shocking and a little hard to accept.

If Mr. Su is really the big boss behind IPS, his father, who is at the top of the foundation, would not dare to speak loudly in front of him.

You should know that IPS is quite famous in Bald Eagle, and the only ones that can compare with them are the legendary Blackwater and G4S.

Although his father Charles is at the top of the foundation, he is ultimately just a high-level employee. There is no way he can possibly own shares in the Black Rock Foundation, as all of them belong to well-known large conglomerates. How could it be his turn? At most he would just get a little dividend or bonus.

Compared with a big shot like Mr. Su, there is still a certain gap. His father Charles is at most just using the skin of the Black Rock Foundation to make Su Chen feel afraid.

After a long while, Charlie seemed to accept this fact and became much calmer.

"Bird~What was the problem you said before?" Charlie's confidence was much weaker than before.

"Mr. Su saw through our plan and laid it out to the public. He agreed to sell Longteng Technology's shares and new technology. Mark also agreed."

Charlie didn't care about the previous sentence at all. His mind was all on Bird's suggestion to sell all Longteng Technology shares.

As long as he can acquire all of Longteng Technology's shares, he will be able to work at the Black Rock Foundation headquarters because of this success.

Besides, I don’t have to deal with Mr. Su. I can just wait for Bird’s results.

Charlie, who had finished his fantasy, found that Bird was still frowning, and asked in confusion, "Isn't it a good thing that they sold all their shares? Why are you still frowning?"

"Have you forgotten that there is someone next to you who is eyeing this plate of meat?" Bird sighed in his heart, hoping that this young master would go as far as possible after this incident. It was really tiring to talk to him about work. "Uh~" Charlie realized that Morgan was also interested in Longteng Technology.

"What should we do then?" he asked Bird helplessly.

"Call your dad and explain everything to him. Don't forget to mention the identity of Mr. Su." Bird reminded.

He was afraid that Charlie's father, Charles, would become as arrogant as Charlie before after hearing that Su Chen was Chinese. Family members know their own business, and Bird knew something about Charles.

When Charlie heard this, he immediately took out his cell phone and called his executive father. He talked a lot and finally handed the phone to Bird.

"My dad has something to tell you."

Hearing this, Bird wanted to give Charlie two middle fingers. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, after he picked up the phone, Charles on the other end of the phone scolded him, and not only that, he continued to hold him responsible for the matter.

Bird simply quit.

"Mr. Charles, you have to know that if we negotiate, Morgan will definitely send a top executive to come forward. If you really want me to take full responsibility for this matter, if something irreversible happens, I, Bird, will not be responsible."

Bird's tone of voice became much tougher.

Charles on the other end of the phone was silent. Firstly, he didn't expect Bird to talk to him like this. Secondly, of course he agreed with what Bird said.

You have to know that this transaction is at least tens of billions of US dollars. Even for a large company like Black Rock Foundation, it is a huge amount of money. How could it be decided by a middle-level manager like Bird?

After a long silence, Charles hung up the phone after saying he would make arrangements.

After Bird handed the phone back to Charlie, he stood up, patted his butt, and swaggered out of the office, leaving Charlie standing there in a daze.

San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest and largest Chinese community in North America.

After Su Chen sent Bird and Mark away, he sat at home for a while and then suggested going to Chinatown. You should know that the world's most famous Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee started out in Chinatown.

He also wanted to go and take a look and get a feel for the charm of Chinatown. In the past, Su Chen could only see some related information on TV or the Internet. It would be a lie to say that he was not curious.

When Raymond heard Su Chen say he wanted to go to Chinatown, he volunteered to be the tour guide. However, when Su Chen saw his height and fierce appearance, he refused without a second thought. He didn't want to be the focus of attention wherever he went.

In desperation, Raymond could only settle for the second best and let Su Chen bring a team of three bodyguards to avoid any accidents.

Su Chen thought about it and nodded in agreement, as long as they could go their separate ways when the time came.

In this way, Su Chen took Chen Fei and three IPS security elites who looked like ordinary people, and drove two cars straight to Chinatown.

Chinatown is located in the heart of San Francisco and is a truly prosperous area.

Su Chen and his friends found a parking place nearby. After parking the car, he said something to the three security guards and asked them to stay a little further away. Then he took Chen Fei and walked towards Chinatown.

"The world belongs to the public!" The gate of Chinatown is a huge plaque. When Su Chen saw these words, two names flashed through his mind.

Hongmen, Zhigongtang!

There are endless stories about these two names. The headquarters at that time was the famous Chinatown in front of Su Chen.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why do I feel like I'm back home?" Chen Fei looked around and found that most of the people there were Asian. From time to time, he could hear a few words of Cantonese and Hakka.

"There's nothing wrong with what you said." Su Chen said with a smile.

"You have to know that the total population of San Francisco is only about 800,000, and Chinese people account for 21% of the population, which means that one out of five people you meet is your compatriot."

Chen Fei was also stunned by Su Chen's explanation. Just when he was about to ask Su Chen how he knew it, he saw him walking inside. Seeing this, Chen Fei hurriedly followed him.

After passing the archway, there is a very classic wall painting on the right. The protagonist is the famous Bruce Lee. In addition to Bruce Lee, there is also a flying five-clawed dragon on the wall. This means
Su Chen took out his cell phone without thinking and took a few photos, and also asked Chen Fei to take a few photos of him.

The architectural style of the entire Chinatown is somewhat similar to that of early Hong Kong, and the distinctive signs paired with neon lights are particularly eye-catching.

There are many big red lanterns hanging in the middle of the road, making the whole block look festive.

Su Chen looked at some shops selling things with very Chinese characteristics and couldn't help but go in to take a look out of curiosity. He found that most of the things here were sent from Yiwu, Zhejiang Province.

This reminded Su Chen of the many tourists he had seen on the Internet who had traveled to other countries, seen many strange and exotic things, and spent a lot of energy and money to transport them back from foreign countries thousands of kilometers away.

He even showed off about it online, but many netizens found out that these things were exported from China.

I never expected that these things would go around and come back again.

"Boom boom boom~ boom boom!"

“Boom~boom~boom~boom~boom~boom!”

As soon as I walked out of the small commodity store, a rhythmic drum sound rang out from not far away.

Curiosity is the nature of all Chinese people, and Su Chen is no exception. He walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came from.

Soon Su Chen saw the source of the sound. He saw two very cute big red lions flying left and right on the stakes erected in the middle of the road.

The area was crowded with tourists and foreigners who were watching the fun and taking photos with their cell phones.

Su Chen watched for a while and listened to the chatter of some Chinatown residents nearby, then he realized that this was the daily training and performance of a lion dance hall, which added a bit of fun to Chinatown.

The entire Chinatown is mainly composed of two streets. One is the street where Su Chen is now, which is Duban Street. There are many delicious snacks here, most of which are Cantonese style, which makes up for the snacks that Su Chen did not eat during his previous trip to Guangzhou.

As for the other street, it is Dayton Street. The most interesting thing about it are the trolleybuses that run through the entire city center. You can experience them and appreciate the surrounding scenery.

Su Chen walked around for almost two hours and visited the entire Chinatown. In addition to tasting snacks, Su Chen also bought a lot of interesting things. Although he knew that they were also available in China, he bought them now for fun.

On the way back, Chen Fei was carrying a lot of things in large and small bags. If you didn't know, you would think they were here to purchase goods.
