"Boss, the negotiations have reached a deadlock. The other party is very aggressive about the shares. It seems that they want to ensure the absolute advantage in shares."

After the day's negotiations, Mahathir returned to the hotel and communicated with Li Zitao on the phone as usual.

"To gain an advantage in voting rights, our main body will not be included. As long as we can control the company's development direction, we can make concessions in terms of shares."

After putting down the phone and holding her new toy, Greta, a snow-white Chow, looked up and asked, "Since things are so important, why don't you stay in New York?"

"That woman is very difficult to deal with. If I were here, I might not be able to hold on to some things." Li Zitao said calmly.

"Is it the other person's charm that makes you unable to hold on?" Greta directly exposed his little thoughts.

"..." How do you know so much?

Li Zitao chose to run away to avoid seeing her. He was really afraid that Juliana would stalk him and try another honey trap.

He could bear it once or twice, but if he came a few more times and had some close contact, Li Zitao would be a little unsure of himself.

"What kind of person am I? Don't you have some bad ideas in your heart?" Lustful Charlie Lee.

Although the negotiations are not progressing smoothly, Li Zitao is not worried at all. Compared with his urgency, the Rothschild family seems more anxious.

They have missed this American feast for too long. If they do not choose to enter, they will lose their presence among the many giants in the financial world in the future.

Otherwise, why would Juliana swallow her anger? She was almost vomiting blood after being scolded by Sanil and Mahathir, but she still had to give in step by step.

It seems that the big drama in New York will take some time, but there is new progress in the land acquisition and demolition of Chicago's 18th block.

After Li Zitao changed his target, the whole thing became extremely smooth. The owners took the money and left, the park was blocked by a isolation belt, and Bechtel's workers and machines began to enter the site one after another.

The main tasks in the early stage are to smooth the road surface, survey the geology, and make final preparations for the start of construction.

Bechtel's designers brought him quite a surprise on the building of the Los Angeles branch, so the design this time was digested internally.

However, Li Zitao made several requirements for the college's buildings.

It must be advanced, technological, and a combination of humanities and nature. It must be unique. The road must be due south and north. Don't create a maze where all your students will get lost.

Regarding teaching buildings, libraries, museums, experimental centers, etc., a series of buildings must have their own characteristics.

It does not require any sense of fashion or the times, it is highly practical, it does not look awkward, and it is easy to create an impression in people's memory.

These requirements sound simple, but they are the most difficult to achieve.

How can something that can create an impression in people's memory at a glance be ordinary?

Just like walking on the street, and all the living beings pass by you, no one can remember each other's face.

But if you are a beautiful woman with iconic looks and a hot figure, the five-fingered girl may have to work hard again tonight.

"I'm going to Santa Barbara. Do you want to go with me? There are farms there where you can fish, ride horses, and play golf." Li Zitao asked.

"Okay." Greta stroked the Chow Chow's silky hair and nodded. She was also suffocating here.

Except for the occasional conversation when Elmo comes, he is alone the rest of the time.

When Li Zitao is away, she will enjoy the loneliness calmly. When he appears, Greta wants him to be by her side more.

This feeling occurs more and more frequently. Greta knows that it is dangerous, but she cannot control the purest emotion from deep inside her heart.

After asking someone to prepare the car, Li Zitao and Greta set off in the car.

Two hours later, the car stopped at the gate of West's manor. The old man was not there at the moment. The housekeeper said that he went hiking with the residents of the town.

"Life is really cool..." Li Zitao muttered.

"Miss Greta needs to rest here, take care of her." Leaving two bodyguards behind, the car started again and headed towards Skunk Works.

The factory shed we saw last time is still the same as before, but the new R&D center that has broken ground around it has become very different.

"Boss, 60% of the underground part is currently completed. I believe it will be completed in another two months, and all the pillars of the superstructure will be completed..."

The person in charge of the construction site introduced the project progress to Li Zitao. He was also in charge of the Osborne Medical Laboratory 80 miles away.

"To maintain the current progress, we must ensure the quality of the project. I don't want to find that the building is sinking or cracking in 10 or 20 years."

"Don't worry, boss, this will never happen." The other party said confidently.

Hearing this assurance, Li Zitao nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the factory shed. He and Hughes hadn't seen each other for a while since they last said goodbye.

"No, no, no, hide all these steel nails. Its streamlines should be more like a missile, or a swooping and circling bird, rather than the current beer belly."

"Reducing the size is simply impossible. Unless we can reduce the size of the engine and all parts, we won't see results in a short time."

"Why should we see results in a short period of time? I never said that I would fly him into the sky tomorrow... Charlie, when did you come?"

Hughes, who was arguing with Johnson, finally saw him leaning next to the plane, but his perfectionist character made him unable to help but said to Johnson: "Do as I say."

"Let me talk to him." Li Zitao smiled apologetically at Johnson, hooked Hughes's shoulder and walked out.

"Man, how long has it been since you went on a date?" The two stood at the door chatting.

"It's been a long time since I came here." Although the time is not very long, it is really a long time for Hughes, who is a playboy by nature.

It was just that during this period, he put all his energy into the plane, which made him forget about having fun, women, and even time.

"Listen to me, go change your clothes, go to the bar for a drink, and find a hot girl to have fun with. You have to know how to give your men time and space."

"I didn't rush them," Hughes said unconvinced.

"Your existence is a kind of urging. Look at you now, like a powerful clockwork, spinning endlessly.

If you, as the boss, do this, will they dare to relax?"

Although the speed of the United States is very disappointing, for people engaged in R&D and technology, it is normal to forget about food and sleep and squat in the office for weeks in a row.

It's just that Hughes made too many demands at once, and he was constantly improving the plan. Every improvement represented an improvement and a breakthrough.

This sense of urgency with no end in sight and no goal in sight can drive people crazy.

Hughes, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder and perfectionism, doesn't think there is a problem. He puts all his enthusiasm and energy into it and cannot feel the changes in the outside world.

But other employees can't. They can't replace Hughes, and they can't do what he did.

"Huh..." Breathing in the fresh air and calming down, Hughes also realized that he was too eager for success and pursued perfection too much.
