After breakfast, within half an hour, I received a call from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the military, mentioning something vaguely.
Afterwards, Li Linfei received calls from Li Xiaomin, Wu Yuting and other women in his harem one after another.
From breakfast in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, he basically spent his time answering the phone.
……
On November 11, Li Linfei and his party left New York and came to Washington.
Since Li Linfei ranks third in the world on the Forbes rich list, and the sales volume of Super Generation [-] will surpass Noy in the new season, the two-pronged approach, Li Linfei's popularity in North America has also climbed to a historical peak.
Therefore, Li Linfei's itinerary in the United States was quickly known by those media.
Of course, the most important reason, Li Linfei was not prepared to hide it from them.
As soon as he came out of the airport, Li Linfei was surrounded by a group of reporters asking questions, but he didn't want to deal with them, so he got into a car on the side of the road and left quickly under the guidance of bodyguards.
There are some things to come to Washington. After solving these things, Li Linfei will fly directly to Europe from Washington.
That night, Li Linfei was invited by the person in charge of the Chinese embassy in Washington to attend a party.
At the party, I met many big men who were out of reach a few years ago, but now, they toasted and said hello to Li Linfei one by one.
"Mr. Li, the Minister of Commerce will be here soon." A middle-aged man from the embassy walked up to Li Linfei and said in a low voice.
"Oh?" Li Linfei turned to look at him, a little surprised.This person is the person in charge of the embassy, named Liu Wei. The Minister of Commerce he mentioned is not from China, but from the United States.
"He came here specially for you. The situation in our country and the United States is relatively peaceful now. As the richest man in our country, you have come to Washington. In addition to rich people from all over the United States coming to communicate with you, the U.S. officials will also conduct a certain degree of communication. Greetings." Liu Wei said.
"Is that so?" Li Linfei blinked.
"Yes, but because you have been too popular in the international arena recently, and you have successively attacked the two representative companies of the United States, Inter and Apple, I am worried that the United States will specifically embarrass you. This is true at the University of Michigan. I believe you know the omen, so you have to be careful." Liu Wei reminded.
"Thank you, I see." Li Linfei's pupils flickered slightly, and he nodded to show that he understood.
After chatting with Liu Wei for a while, after he left, several people surrounded him.
"Hello, Mr. Li, this is my business card. Our company is investing in the research and development of new superconducting materials. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me." A man with an oriental face handed a name card to Li Linfei.
Then many people handed business cards to Li Linfei.
Afterwards, Li Linfei was approached by the belated Gates.
"Mr. Li, you have achieved such a great achievement at such a young age. Your deeds are really amazing." Gates said.
Li Linfei smiled without being modest: "Thank you, Mr. Gates, you were not bad back then."
In fact, in terms of sensation and influence, Gates is better than Li Linfei.
However, that is a thing of the past.
In this stage of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data and substantial progress, Microsoft fell into a weak period of development, and Gates also retreated behind the scenes.In the future era, Gates is just a legend in the past, while Su Yang is a legend who can always live in the present.
Gates expressed emotion: "Before Buffett mentioned that you became the world's richest man within half a year, I shook my head a little bit because I thought it was impossible, because it is too difficult to earn 400 to [-] billion dollars within half a year. "
Chapter 844 Mr. Gates, You Are Old
"But looking at it now, I'm afraid it won't take half a year, at most three months before the end of this year, and the position of the richest man will be yours."
Li Linfei smiled and said, "Mr. Gates is so calm?"
Gates' tone was somewhat disdainful: "You have never experienced the feeling of a person who has been the richest man in the world for more than [-] years..."
As he said that, Gates lowered his voice and pointedly said: "When you become the richest man, you will understand what kind of pressure I have been under for so many years."
Li Linfei remained calm and calm: "I understand what you mean, but I will not be controlled by anyone."
Gates was noncommittal, and sighed: "Maybe, but there are some things that you can't just escape if you want to."
Li Linfei's tone was a little funny: "Why do you want to escape, why can't you break through? As long as you have enough chips, no one can force someone to do something."
Gates looked deeply at Li Linfei for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's good to have confidence, but unfortunately, you don't have that much..."
Li Linfei smiled, "How do you know that I don't have that many chips? Or, how do you know that the chips I'm throwing now are all?"
The light in Gates' eyes flickered, he stared at Li Linfei without saying a word.
Li Linfei raised his head, with a sense of self-confidence on his body, and said: "Mr. Gates, time is always flowing, never stops, and the future is constantly changing. It took me one and a half years to achieve the current situation." , I believe that with my efforts, the next five or ten years will be another world."
"I am very grateful for the era you established. You are legends. This is beyond reproach. Now, the old era you started is coming to an end. A new era will be opened and led by more outstanding people."
Gates said: "A more outstanding person, are you talking about yourself?"
Li Linfei shook his head: "It's not me, but thousands of people who want to change and become the darling of the times through this change."
As he said that, Li Linfei looked at Gates and said, "Mr. Gates, you are getting old, maybe I will be old in a few decades, but right now, I am still young."
After finishing the words, Li Linfei drank the wine in the cup, then turned around and left here without looking back.
"Yeah, I'm old, but...you're really too young." Watching Li Linfei's back leave, Gates murmured with a chuckle.
Today's young people are becoming more and more arrogant. He didn't understand Buffett's mood before, but now he understands a little bit.
Back then, he was as crazy as Li Linfei. He dropped out of school at the age of 19 to start a business, and then became the richest man in the world.
For a while, he was in the limelight and felt that he was invincible.
Then, there is no more, his footsteps stop here.
The current Li Linfei is taking bigger strides than he did back then, and has offended more people.
Gates has already imagined that, maybe it won't be long before he will show the same melancholy expression as he did back then.
"Young..." Gates sighed, then shook his head, holding a glass of wine to chat with some old friends.
Li Linfei thought that communicating with Gates would give him some enlightenment and different feelings.
But obviously, he thought too much.A person who has withstood the pressure of the times, his edges and corners have been smoothed, and there may still be some hidden edges, but they are already insignificant.
Li Linfei admires Gates and admits that he is a great business man of his generation, but that is the Gates of the past.
The current Gates is just a late old man who needs someone to take care of him.
In comparison, he appreciates Buffett, who casts his eyes on him from time to time after entering the venue, with meaningful eyes.
Of course, it's just admiration. In Li Linfei's eyes, Buffett is nothing to be afraid of. A tiger without teeth, what are you afraid of?
If he retreats by himself, that's okay, but if he doesn't retreat, he will be kicked out by Li Linfei sooner or later.
