Chapter 376: The Big Guys Gather
"I'm glad to see that you like our products. Meng Xiaobai said politely.
Gates smiled and said: "There is no other company in the world that can manufacture such a product, and I am very recognized for your technological breakthrough." I have personally invested in many similar companies and products, but there is still a big gap between them and your products. ”
"Now, even the computer system, Microsoft is gradually overtaking you. ”
He said in a tone that Microsoft was founded by him, and in a few decades it has gradually become the world's first computer software service provider.
He had expected that the company would continue to maintain its hegemony like other century-old giants in the United States - at least for twenty or thirty years, but in less than a year, he would see the decline of Microsoft.
This decline is not due to Microsoft's mismanagement or operational direction, but because new quantum computer systems and artificial intelligence software are beginning to dominate Microsoft's market, forcing it to decline.
"Mr. Gates is overrated, and our computer systems are still far from catching up with Microsoft. Meng Xiaobai said modestly.
"Haha, like most Chinese people, you speak modestly, which I like very much. "Gates is very open-minded, he has created his own era, he no longer needs to compete with young people for fame and fortune, and now he is just an old man who wants to enjoy his old age.
"It's a matter of time before I catch up!" Gates said firmly, "My judgment has always been very accurate, and I will wait for the products of Deep Space Technology to officially enter the US market." I can almost see that the U.S. communications industry and the computer field, and even the new energy and automotive industries will face tremendous pressure. ”
"They've been settled for too long, and no strong competitors like yours have emerged. ”
Meng Xiaobai smiled without saying a word, and the two walked to the living room sofa in the mansion and sat down. In the glass cabinet on the other side of the living room, you can see a variety of precious marine ornamental fish swimming in the indoor aquarium, the most eye-catching of which is the huge whale shark with white spots all over its body!
"Mr. Meng Xiaobai, in fact, I still have a lot of doubts, I don't know if you can answer them for me?" Gates is finally about to get into the topic.
"Please. Of course, Meng Xiaobai did not come here to visit Gates's mansion, but he also wanted to know what these American capitalists thought and planned to do with him.
"Could Deep Space Technology, or its subgroup, be listed in the U.S. in the future?" Gates' question was quite direct, and his busy daily work made him get into the habit of getting straight to the point.
"There is a certain possibility, such as some subsidiaries of Deep Space Technology, or companies of Deep Space Technology in the United States. Meng Xiaobai's answer was vague, he didn't give a standard of conviction, but he didn't completely reject it either.
Of course, some subsidiaries of Deep Space Technology may be listed in the United States, but companies involved in major industries and research are absolutely impossible to go public.
"If that's the case, I'm more than willing to invest in your company, so be sure to contact me when the time comes. Gates said.
"It couldn't be better to have Mr. Gates to help. Meng Xiaobai said with a smile.
The two talked for nearly two hours, and both learned some news from the other.
"Talking to you solved a lot of my confusion. "But we still have a lot of people here who want to ask you more, and they're all coming today." Actually, some people are not friendly. ”
"I also happen to have a lot of doubts. Meng Xiaobai nodded, Gates was reminding him that the evening's activities were the most important.
As soon as the conversation with Gates ended, Meng Xiaobai met another former richest man in the world, Warren Buffett.
This stock market myth, which is worth tens of millions of dollars in one lunch, is very interested in Meng Xiaobai.
Unlike Gates, Buffett is still interested in capital investment, although he is already gray.
As soon as he met Meng Xiaobai, Buffett talked to him about his views on technology capital.
"I think that with the entry of deep space technology into the North American market, this will stimulate the development of the global technology industry, and in the past three years, the amount of capital injection into related industries has increased more than tenfold compared with three years ago! ”
"Of course, it is undeniable that your investment in related industries has always been the highest in the world. Warren Buffett said.
"The highest in the world?" Meng Xiaobai was slightly surprised, "How did you get this data?"
Warren Buffett said with a smile: "A lot of money around the world is being closely watched by Wall Street, and the production and R&D funds invested by Deep Space Technology in three years have reached the largest number of global companies." ”
"I admire you for this, everyone knows that Deep Space Technology should be the most valuable company in the world now, but you can actually invest all your profits in research and development, which should also be unprecedented. ”
"I'm not a mature businessman. Meng Xiaobai laughed at himself.
"But you are more successful than any capitalist!" Buffett is young and older, but his eyes are still bright.
"Mr. Meng Xiaobai, now that your company is going to enter the United States, I think we can work together. Warren Buffett proposed.
The two continued to negotiate, and Meng Xiaobai did not refuse to cooperate with some local capitalists, provided that Meng Xiaobai's principles would not be violated. If you want to make money as an American, you must at least do enough superficial work.
Soon, it was time for the charity dinner, and more and more guests were visiting. Each of them is a well-known figure in the world, so Gates and Buffett's chat with Meng Xiaobai could not continue, and they began to introduce some characters to each other.
"This is Mr. Ralph Mellon. Gates introduced that the visitor was an old man in his fifties, and when he saw Meng Xiaobai, his expression was flat, and he only nodded slightly.
Meng Xiaobai could see that this person was not friendly to him. But this is also normal, just listen to his surname Meng Xiaobai, you know that this must be one of the top ten capital families in the United States, an important figure in the Mellon family.
They are strong in banking and industry, and the emergence of deep space technology has seriously damaged their interests.
"This is Mr. Owen Rockefeller. "The members of the famous Rockefeller family also came here, and it seems that they attach great importance to themselves, Meng Xiaobai thought to himself.
"This is Mr. Bloomer Roosevelt. ”
"This is a director of Citibank......"
"Executive President of United Department Store ......"
Each of the visitors has an extraordinary identity, and in addition to the superficial work of "charity", the common purpose of their participation in this charity dinner is to contact Meng Xiaobai, Meng Xiaobai has a hunch, and it will not be easy in the future.
