After saying sorry to Fang Chen, Mikas went to the back room, as the host of this place and half of the host of the banquet, she still had some things to talk to Clinton and Hee Larry.

Fang Chen walked around the banquet hall indifferently, and even picked up the dinner plate, which looked like he had come here to eat.

For others, the most important purpose of coming here is naturally to socialize, not to eat.

But for Fang Chen, such a sky-high meal, it is definitely impossible to eat back the cost, even if he eats all the leftovers, he can't get back the cost.

But without taking a bite, Fang Chen himself felt sorry for himself, and he really didn't have any social needs, he just glanced at it, and he didn't find any characters that he had an impression of.

Maybe it's because he is clumsy and doesn't know the big people and rich people in the United States.

But it is also said that he can recognize Bill Gates, Buffett, Soros, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Larry Page and a few others.

And half of these people, half of whom have not yet made a career, and some of them have even just come out of their mother's womb for a few years, how could they appear at Clinton's fundraising dinner so coincidentally.

By the way, he also knows Mr. Tewupu!

It would be interesting if Mr. Tewupu appeared at this dinner, Fang Chen couldn't help but have a wicked smile flashing at the corner of his mouth.

However, everyone also speculated about what kind of background Fang Chen, a young man with an oriental face, had, and why he came to the dinner as Mikas's male companion.

But no one came to talk to Fang Chen.

In the 90s, Chinese people appeared more and more frequently in schools, restaurants, and Chinatowns, but this is the first time that Chinese faces have appeared at such a major dinner.

It is probably clear that all the people who came this time are his big financiers, and as a loser who lost the first battle, Clinton does not have any capital to control everyone, and there are still five minutes before the appointed time, and Clinton and Hillary Larry and others appear in front of everyone.

However, after seeing who the middle-aged man who was next to Clinton, about thirty-five years old and looking like a technical nerd, Fang Chen instantly felt a hot face, and felt like he was slapped in the face.

Hell yes!

He actually saw Bill Gates next to Clinton.

When Mikas quietly returned to him, Fang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Why is Bill Gates here?" ”

Although it is only 1992 and Bill Gates has not yet become the richest man in the world, Bill Gates has already made a name for himself in the United States a few years ago.

In 1987, Bill Gates became the first billionaire in the PC industry, but with the release of Windows 3.0 the year before last, Microsoft, which had been silent for more than ten years, finally came to the front of the stage and opened the curtain of Microsoft's dominance in the computer operating system and the world.

And even so, Bill Gates's current worth of more than $10 billion is one of the richest people in the United States except for the Rockefeller family, the Morgan family, and the Rothschild family.

And in 1996, when Microsoft's stock rose sharply, Bill Gates's worth increased by more than $10 billion in just one year, with an average of $30 million a day, more than 200 million Chinese dollars.

On the Internet in his previous life, the video about Bill Gates wanting to save money to buy a Lamborghini, and then counting down to five seconds to save enough money, should be remembered by everyone.

Such a character should not have appeared at Clinton's fundraising dinner.

Mr. Bill Gates is very interested in the information superhighway and digital earth projects proposed by Mr. Clinton and Mr. Al Gore, and believes that the birth and promotion of these technologies will greatly promote Microsoft's business. Mikas explained softly.

Hearing this, Fang Chen's eyes narrowed and nodded slightly, then this is no wonder.

During this period, before the advent of the Internet, Microsoft's operating system, and even the main use of computers, was scientific research and office appliances, and the penetration rate was not too high.

It is precisely because Clinton proposed the information superhighway plan that led to the emergence of the Internet that computers have been strengthened and have unlimited possibilities for future generations.

It can be said that before and after the Internet era, the difference between computers is like the difference between feature machines and smart phones, which is simply a world of difference.

Thinking about it this way, Bill Gates and Clinton are a match made in heaven.

Then Bill Gates should not be surprised to appear here.

Fang Chen suddenly had a little more realization at this time, judging from today's situation, whether it is Clinton or Bill Gates, their success is by no means just described by the word luck.

He can already imagine that Bill Gates was keenly aware of the role of the information superhighway plan in promoting Microsoft, so he resolutely bet on Clinton.

To put it mildly, without the Internet, Bill Gates may be the richest man in the world, but he will definitely not be the richest man in the world for thirteen consecutive years.

Even if it weren't for the 08 financial crisis, which caused the market value of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway to rise by 25 percent, and Bill Gates' Microsoft to fall by exactly 15 percent of its market value, Bill Gates's glory as the richest man in the world would continue.

As for Clinton's success, it lies in the fact that he discovered the role of building the information superhighway in promoting the economic development of the United States, and the Digital Earth Project in promoting various scientific research achievements in the United States.

It can even be said that the United States' scientific and technological superiority in the Internet era was established by Clinton.

In the entire Internet era, that is, Huaxia has barely kept up with the United States, as for the old science and technology powers, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the East and Russia, etc., there is not a single Internet technology company that can get its hands on it.

The reason why the EU hates Google, Facebook and other companies so much, and they have to impose fines and special taxes at every turn, is because Google and Facebook went to the EU to make their money, but they did not have the corresponding Internet companies to earn money from the United States, which was caused by some imbalance.

Clinton stood on the podium and coughed, and the audience fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Clinton in unison.

Taking a deep breath, Clinton's expression was a little solemn, and he knew that the success of this fundraising dinner would determine whether his US presidential campaign trip would come to an end soon!

He never had a chance to fail again!

After pondering his emotions for a while, Clinton said slowly: "Thank you for coming, thank you for your friendship and support, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as governor for 11 years, and thank you for giving me incomparable happiness and gifts in life." ”

"I would like to give a special thanks to my wife, Hee Larry, and my daughter, Chelsea, who have taken this important step in our journey together and who have been reminding us of what it means to work together to create a better life for everyone and build a better future for the next generation. ”

"You are the ones who have taken me beyond ordinary life and the work I love to commit myself to a greater cause, to rebuild hope for the forgotten middle class, to carve out a future for our children, and I don't want to be the generation that lost the opportunity to realize the American dream at home, to celebrate the failure of Sovietism. ”

Hearing this, Fang Chen's expression changed slightly, and the overall situation was decided.

Well, that's right, when Clinton said that last sentence, the big picture was decided.

This was the magic weapon that Clinton relied on to defeat Bush.

During his term of office, Bush won the Gulf War cleanly and ended the life of the Soviets with his own hands.

But war is always a double-edged sword.

The reason why Bush lost this election campaign was because the United States fell into economic and living difficulties due to years of reckless military force and an unbreakable Cold War mentality.

It was precisely by seizing on Bush's flaw and the war-weariness of the Americans that Clinton won the victory in one fell swoop.

"I don't want to be the generation whose failures in the global economic competition have left the hardworking American people in a predicament of insecurity that they don't get the rewards they deserve. ”

"That's why I'm standing here today, because I don't want to sit idly by, I don't want our children to be like that, not as good as their own parents......"

Fang Chen listened attentively.

At this moment, listening to a speech by a future president of the United States is really a special experience, especially with this kind of, like watching a theater.

But as he spoke, Clinton suddenly glanced at Fang Chen, and this glance made Fang Chen suddenly feel a kind of confusion for the second monk.

In the next moment, Clinton continued: "Some events in the Soviets in recent months have taught us an important lesson, the Soviets have never lost to us in the war, but the system of their country has collapsed, from the inside out, from the economy, politics, to the human spirit, which shows that the demise of a country has nothing to do with the outside world, but with ourselves, and with each and every one of us Americans......

Fang Chen's expression suddenly became a little weird, no wonder Clinton glanced at him.

Not only did he witness the moment of the death of the Soviets, but he was also the gravedigger of the Soviets, and anyone can say that Yeltsin's rise to power was partly due to him.

"Our country is moving fast in the wrong direction, we are falling behind other countries and losing our way at the same time...... With the exception of Washington, our status quo is paralyzed, with no vision and no tangible action, only neglect, selfishness, and division. ”

"We have to provide answers and solutions, and we intend to change the situation in America and get it back in motion, and we intend to fight for that change for those hard-working middle class Americans. ”

"There is no doubt that this campaign is about change, about changing our party, about our national leadership, about our country!"

The more Clinton spoke, the more excited he became, the veins on his neck bulged, his eyes turned scarlet, and he roared hoarsely.

The atmosphere in the audience reached its peak, and everyone was excited about Clinton's speech, and even longed to overthrow Bush's rule now.

Mikas's hand gripped Fang Chen's arm even tighter, as if using all the strength of his body.

After trying a few times, he couldn't pull out his arm, Fang Chen glanced at Mikas a little helplessly, and could only go with her.

But now, Fang Chen really had a feeling that everyone was drunk and I was alone.

But I have to say that Clinton's speech was indeed excellent, and every word was gripping, and if he were an American, he might have to go crazy and go crazy.

Wrong!

And one more person.

Fang Chen followed his gaze and happened to meet Bill Gates' eyes, and the two laughed twice with a tacit understanding, obviously Bill Gates was not affected by Clinton's impassioned speech.

After laughing, Bill Gates looked Fang Chen up and down, a little surprised in his heart, although he has been a little wooden since he was a child, but in fact he is a very assertive person in his heart, which can be seen from the fact that he resolutely dropped out of Harvard, under great pressure, and had to start his own business.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he was not affected by Clinton's speech, but Fang Chen was not affected either, which is really a bit incredible, not to mention that Fang Chen is still so young.

But after thinking about it, Bill Gates couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, Fang Chen made such an achievement at this age, which was enough to show Fang Chen's strength, and it was simply too normal not to be affected.

When Fang Chen was his age, he had just sold his first computer programming work, a time table system, for his high school for $4,200.

Besides, although Fang Chen was the first person to donate to this fundraising dinner, donating a full 10 million US dollars, more than he donated, Fang Chen is not an American after all.

However, Bill Gates feels even more strange when he thinks about it, because he invested in Clinton only because of Clinton's future governance plan, or to be more precise, the information superhighway and the digital earth.

Then he had the mentality of resigning himself to his fate if he had a better situation, and invested Clinton's $7 million campaign fund.

But in fact, he did not have much hope in his heart whether Clinton would be able to run for president, after all, Clinton lost the first leg of the party's nomination, and he himself did not have any experience as a congressman or senator.

In contrast, he was more optimistic about Clinton's deputy, Al Gore, but Gore was reluctant to run for election citing family reasons.

In fact, even if Clinton is not elected president, it doesn't matter, he can still find President Bush to promote these two plans, especially the information superhighway plan.

However, when he thought that the Bush administration was surrounded by arms dealers, oil companies, and real estate companies that smelled of copper, he felt a little disgusted in his heart, and he suddenly had no confidence to convince Mr. Bush.

However, for what reason did Fang Chen, a young Chinese, invest in Clinton?
