Wu Maocai looked at Fang Chen with a puzzled expression.

Before, Fang Chen did say that the sky was falling, and he praised the Huaxia market like a flower, as if without the Huaxia market, Microsoft would wait for death.

But he thinks that a rich man of Bill Gates' level should not buy for these things that are still in a mirage and are ethereal, right?

Fang Chen chuckled, glanced at Wu Maocai approvingly, asked for a night, and finally asked some reliable questions.

"The reason why Bill Gates agreed to my conditions is that the importance of the Chinese market is one aspect, and if he doesn't agree, I will obstruct it and make him uncomfortable, and not only the Chinese market, but also the Russian market. ”

"But the most important thing is that gaining my friendship is probably more important than the extra gain. Fang Chen said indifferently, but his eyes flashed with an inexplicable smile.

He Fangchen has also reached the point where he can make money by relying on face.

If you really think about it, this face fruit should be almost equivalent to Luffy's fourth gear, otherwise, how could even an existence like Bill Gates have to buy his face.

Wu Maocai and the others were completely dizzy, they could still understand the first two sentences, if Jiu Ye did not agree, then Microsoft wanted to promote its operating system in China and Russia, it would indeed be more difficult, but the last sentence, they couldn't understand it.

After a deep sigh, Fang Chen said slowly: "You have been with me for a long time, you have become accustomed to my style and mode of doing things, and you agree that Optimus is me, I am Optimus, Optimus's interests are my interests, and encroaching on Optimus's interests is encroaching on my interests, and I will inevitably retaliate back, such an ideological concept." ”

Although he has given Duan Yongping 1% of the shares, whether it is everyone or Duan Yongping, they all default to the fact that Qingtian is still his Fangchen's company, and the ownership of Qingtian belongs to him Fangchen.

Even Duan Yongping didn't think that if he got a 1% stake in Qingtian, he would be able to speak more loudly in Qingtian.

"But!"

Speaking of this, a slightly sarcastic smile flashed at the corner of Fang Chen's mouth.

"But Microsoft is different, and even most of the companies and bosses in this world are different from Qingtian, unlike me, Microsoft was created by Bill Gates, and Microsoft is also raised by Bill Gates today. But Microsoft is not his alone, and even Bill Gates's shares in Microsoft are less than half of Microsoft's total shares, do you really think that Bill Gates will break with me because of the possible damage to Microsoft's interests?"

"The current Microsoft is only a part of Bill Gates' business, and since it is a business, it is natural to choose which one will make the profit. Fang Chen said calmly.

For him, it is a career, an ideal, a belief, and something that needs to be guarded all his life, so he has always been so domineering, and has always firmly held all the shares of Qingtian in his own hands, not allowing others to peep.

Even like such an irrational lone wolf, biting anyone who dares to hurt Qingtian, the fate of those agents of Xiaobawang, as well as the disgrace of the Russian Vice President, Rudskoi, and even the imprisonment of Du Jun, the former logistics minister of Xiaobawang, are the concrete manifestations of his thinking.

But Microsoft is no longer for Bill Gates, and Microsoft is actually just a business in Bill Gates's mind.

It can be seen from the fact that Bill Gates still held 44.8% of Microsoft's shares last year, but in 2018, Bill Gates's shares in Microsoft were less than 1%.

Some people even calculated according to the market value of Microsoft at that time, if Bill Gates had not sold Microsoft shares in these years, Bill Gates's worth would have been 400 billion, four times his worth at that time.

Since 1992, Bill Gates has been steadily reducing his stake in Microsoft for more than 20 years, reducing his holdings by 8 million to 20 million shares per quarter, and has reduced his holdings by about $52.5 billion in 30 years.

Bill Gates took the tens of billions of cash, as well as at least $8 billion in dividends and wages given to him by Microsoft, and diversified his investments into various industries.

These industries include high-end hotel real estate operators, the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco, the iconic Charles Hotel at the heart of the Harvard campus, and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in California, Illinois, Iowa, and Louisiana.

In foreign countries, there are Canadian National Railways, Berkshire Hathaway of good friend Warren Buffett, Deere & Company, the world's famous agricultural machinery giant, as well as audio-visual, fixed-line, broadband, mobile communication service giants, Liberty Global and so on.

Unlike everyone who thinks that Bill Gates' wealth comes from his stake in Microsoft, in fact, 80% of Bill Gates' current wealth comes from his private investment company.

It is true that Fang Chen does admit that after diversification, the risk will become smaller, if the wealth comes from the shares of a single enterprise, then once it is sold on a large scale, it will cause a blood collapse, so that all its wealth will be reduced to paper wealth, like paper paste, and even cutting it in half is lucky.

But!

If you don't even have the determination to share weal and woe with the company you founded, then this is really, simply, just a business.

So it's not surprising why Bill Gates agreed to his conditions, maybe this condition is unfavorable for Microsoft, but for Bill Gates himself, it is definitely advantageous, and he will not suffer losses and lose money.

Of course, Fang Chen is not saying that Bill Gates' choice is wrong, perhaps in the eyes of Americans, business is really just a business, and the biggest use is to make money and increase capital for themselves.

Even Fang Chen himself wasn't sure if there would be a day when he wouldn't want to work so hard, or if he would be too old to do it, and then he would sell Qingtianyi.

This kind of story of a brave man turning into an evil dragon in the end is not uncommon in history books, Fang Chen didn't dare to say it, he must be an exception.

And capital comes into the world with blood and filth flowing from head to toe.

But what he wants to say now is that whoever dares to touch Qingtian will dare to fight with whomever he wants, and it is impossible to exchange the interests of Qingtian for any bullshit interests.

After saying all the things that should be said, Fang Chen went back to his room to wash up and rest.

Tossing such a big day, flying thousands of miles from China to the United States, and then having such a big show with Bill Gates, fighting wits and courage, he is really tired, and he will fly to Washington, D.C., tomorrow to attend Clinton's presidential inauguration.

Only the rest, Wu Maocai and the others, who looked confused, looked at each other, how could they feel a little incomprehensible about Fang Chen's words.

January 20, Capitol Hill, USA.

Early in the morning, the east portico of the Capitol Building is already crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and almost everywhere is crowded, and this is the place where the presidents of the United States have been sworn in.

Since the inauguration of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States in the eighteenth century, the inauguration of all other U.S. presidents has been held here, except for the cold weather and the fact that the Second American Revolutionary War and World War II did not inaugurate four times.

Moreover, the inauguration ceremony of the President of the United States is not just a ceremony for the president alone, but a ceremony for all walks of life in the United States.

Over time, the traditional program of the inauguration ceremony has expanded, from a simple inauguration ceremony to a one-day event that includes a parade, speeches, and a ball.

And the day of the oath, known as Inauguration Day, is also a quadrennial public holiday in the United States, and it is a holiday for everyone.

This is best attested to by the millions of heads present.

Well, that's right, the Americans who attend the presidential inauguration, as a rule, are in the millions.

The record for the number of people who visited the presidential inauguration ceremony was held by Comrade O'Guanhai, who surpassed the 1.2 million set by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 with an absolute margin of 1.8 million.

In addition to the participants of the inauguration, the president, vice president, chief justice, celebrities from all walks of life who were invited to watch the ceremony, as well as media reporters, etc., the largest number of people came to the United States.

For them, the presidential inauguration ceremony is not only a festival, but a complicated audio-visual festival, but also a carnival.

The new president first has a morning prayer service, which is the ceremony for the president-elect to go to church and worship.

After that, it was the former president who accompanied the president-elect to Capitol Hill to take the oath.

After the oath is taken, the president will give a speech, as is customary.

The president, vice president, and invited guests then attend a luncheon hosted by the President's Inauguration Committee, a joint member of the House and Senate, and often features dishes from the new president's and vice president's hometowns.

Then there is the presidential inaugural parade, which is a favorite of the American people, and after the luncheon, the presidential motorcade drives along Pennsylvania Avenue, accompanied by the honor guard of the three services, civil society, military bands and various floats.

There will also be a popular ball to celebrate the president's inauguration.

Anyway, you won't lose everyone's ticket money.

Well, that's right, the U.S. presidential inauguration requires a ticket to enter.

General admission tickets are just a few dozen dollars a piece, and the real price is the free tickets in the hands of some congressmen.

The truth that free is the most expensive has long been known to the public, and this free ticket is no exception.

In the United States, for each presidential inauguration, senators and representatives receive a certain amount of free tickets.

And these free tickets are usually the best place to watch the entire presidential inauguration.

These free tickets are generally the most sought-after tickets in the United States during the winter season, and the prices are very high on online shopping sites such as eBay and Craiglist, and the ticket price can be as high as 40,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to a sky-high price of 260,000 Chinese dollars.

It can be said that the United States has vividly demonstrated the characteristics of capitalism that everything is business and everything can be traded.

And among these millions of people, in addition to the president and vice president, the most eye-catching is probably Fang Chen, a yellow man with black hair and black eyes.

Especially when Fang Chen stepped on the red carpet and followed Clinton to St. John's Anglican Church to participate in the morning prayer ceremony, the flash almost blinded Fang Chen's eyes.

To tell the truth, these American journalists have been hungry and hungry for Fang Chen, and no, they have admired him for a long time.

For the American people, it is just a little strange why there is a Chinese boy mixed in the ranks of the presidential inauguration.

For these American journalists, who knew that Fang Chen was the first to give a huge check to Clinton and that Clinton's election success played a decisive role, they could not wait to interview Fang Chen.

Even, if it weren't for the fact that Fang Chen had been in Huaxia for a long time, an ancient and evil red country, it was their forbidden place, they would have flown to Huaxia, caught Fang Chen in front of them, and ravaged him well, no, interview.

And as they got to know Fang Chen more and more, the more they discovered that Fang Chen was really a treasure boy, and Fang Chen had countless places to interview.

From scratch at a young age, he became a billionaire from scratch, but the most important thing is that Fang Chen's fortune is still in China and Russia, which are places where business is desert for Americans and there is no possibility of economic development.

Moreover, Fang Chen's business cases, especially in Russia, can be described as legendary.

Including Fang Chen's defense in Huaxia, Fujitsu, Lucent and other eight international communication giants, you can also take out a big book.

Anyway, these things on Fang Chen, even if he took out one thing alone, it would definitely be an explosive news.

The innate mission of these reporters is not to chase big news, so how can they not swarm like flies that smell when they meet such a treasure boy as Fang Chen now.

Now, it is no exaggeration to say that tomorrow's American newspapers and even television stations will inevitably have a place for Fang Chen.

At this time, Fang Chen, the focus of attention, had only one thought in his heart, the real TM was early, and the real TM was cold.

Seriously, Fang Chen killed him, and Fang Chen didn't expect that at six o'clock in the morning, the president of the United States would go to some church to pray and thank God.

And still on foot!

Walk in the bitterly cold and icy conditions of January!

According to the latitude and longitude, the location of Washington, D.C., is slightly lower than Yanjing, but in fact, it is not much lower, not even Changshan City, at most to Baofu City.

After all, the latitude of Yanjing is 39"26 north latitude, and Washington, D.C. is 38 ° 53 north latitude, which is not even one degree.

Therefore, Fang Chen went to Washington, D.C., and enjoyed the temperature of Yanjing in January.

And the most critical question is, Clinton is going to the church to pray at 6 o'clock in the morning, so what time will their escorts arrive?

Anyway, he was pulled up from bed by Wu Maocai at four o'clock this morning, what a sin.

Seriously, Fang Chen really had a feeling of experiencing an ancient official going to the early dynasty today.
