For the top wealthy in the United States, their experience in philanthropy is already very rich, and almost every rich person has more than one charitable foundation under his name, some of which are used to help specific people, and some are used for certain public welfare projects, or scientific research projects that are helpful to mankind.

Americans have long been accustomed to the routines of the American rich to do charity, so now the social influence that the American rich can bring about by charity is not large, coupled with Li Mu's Harvard speech at the beginning of the disclosure of the top rich people's "charitable foundation" play, so that many fake charity, real tax evasion foundations have been seen through by the people who have polished their eyes, so the society is even more dismissive of the rich people's actions of charitable foundations.

Before the Veteran Immortal Charity Foundation was exposed, the wealthy people in the United States couldn't believe that taking 100 million yuan to make a charitable foundation could cause such great recognition, repercussions and strong support in the society.

The social influence brought by the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation to Li Mu can be said to have completely surpassed all private charitable foundations in the world and completely sublimated to a new level, making those rich people who have a large amount of wealth and hope to gain greater social recognition stunned and envious at the same time.

Nowadays, the people's eyes have indeed become brighter, and it is meaningless to simply rub the heat, so some people have turned their eyes to Li Mu.

Li Mu is the founder of the Veteran Immortal Charity Foundation, this foundation has made him in China, and even the world has received great recognition, if at this time, can join forces with Li Mu to do the Veteran Immortal Charity Foundation in other countries, then the public's attitude towards this charitable foundation will inevitably improve a lot.

If you want to rub Li Mu's popularity, only with the approval of Li Mu himself can the greatest effect.

Within a day, Li Mu received direct contact from several top American tycoons, including Bill Gates, the world's richest man, Warren Buffett, including Google founder Larry Page and Oracle boss Larry Ellison, who had a telephone conversation with Li Mu, and very sincerely requested on the phone to cooperate with Li Mu to establish the 'Veterans Do Not Die - American Charity Foundation' in the United States.

The specific needs of several bigwigs are quite consistent, and they all hope that this foundation can be nominally attached to Li Mu's Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation, so that the bloodline can ensure purity;

Bill Gates is willing to donate 10 million US dollars to Li Mu's Veterans Immortality Charity Foundation, Buffett is 15 million, and Larry Page and Larry Ellison are both priced in RMB, and the price code is 100 million yuan.

The reason why they chose the price code of 100 million yuan is estimated to be because they saw the news report and knew that Li Mu had taken 100 million yuan to create the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation, so they also offered this price code, and at the same time thought that they were very generous.

Li Mu is particularly unhappy with the behavior of these "big guys", the first is that he feels that these people take reputation too seriously, in their eyes, the primary purpose of doing charity may be reputation, and the second is that he feels that these big guys seem to treat themselves as children.

In other words, they underestimate their size and their appetites.

Li Mu is indeed a rising star in the world's rich group, and he is also the youngest one, and the most important thing is that although Li Mu can already be among these bigwigs in terms of worth, but because most of Li Mu's business is in China, these bigwigs don't know him enough.

Moreover, if he wants to take 10 million US dollars, or 100 million yuan, to "buy" this charity project in his hands, which is currently praised by the whole world, Li Mu feels that they are thinking too much and thinking stupidly.

So, Li Mu made a decision, he decided to personally bring the charity project of "Veterans Don't Die" to the United States, but his energy is really limited, and Liu Xin can't have this time, so Li Mu thought of a new way.

……

On the morning of the "Veterans Don't Die: Spring City Charity Night in the Chinese Internet Industry", Li Mu made a phone call to Elon Musk.

It was evening in the United States, Elon Musk received a call from Li Mu, and as soon as he came up, he congratulated: "Mr. Li, I really want to congratulate you! Your veteran immortal charity project is really popular all over the United States, and the United States is full of praise for you and this charity project, you are definitely the most respected and recognized entrepreneur in the United States now, even if it is a local entrepreneur, I am afraid that it cannot be compared, this project is really too successful from the perspective of social influence." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "As long as you do charity, it is inevitable to be recognized by the society, although I don't do charity for fame, but now this feeling is also very good, at least it can influence many rich people, so that they are also interested in charity." ”

Elon Musk laughed and said, "I've heard that many American bigwigs are contacting you, hoping to borrow your light, what conditions have they offered you?"

Li Mu said: "Their conditions are not as interesting as mine, but they give me a little inspiration. ”

As he spoke, Li Mu asked Elon Musk: "Elon, how much cash do you have at your disposal now?"

"Cash?" Elon Musk said embarrassedly: "Not much, I made some investments and financial management in exchange for the cash I transferred PayPal shares, and I also paid off part of the debt, and I still have tens of millions of dollars left." ”

Speaking of this, Elon Musk asked again: "Mr. Li, why are you asking this?"

Li Mu snorted, and suddenly asked him: "Are you interested in taking five million dollars out, and I will ask the American branch of Makino Technology to come up with five million dollars, and we will set up a veteran immortal American charitable foundation in the United States?"

Elon Musk was momentarily stunned.

His current worth in the United States is still far from the top rich, but he is very well-informed, when the American billionaires want to set up a charitable foundation similar to the immortality of veterans in the United States, he has already captured the intentions of these bigwigs, and today I also heard that several top bigwigs have contacted Li Mu, hoping to take the derivatives of the project of veterans immortality from Li Mu's hands, and the price given by these rich people is also quite generous, not only promising to invest considerable funds in the foundation, but also giving Li Mu a certain amount"Copyright Fee" Promise.

However, he never expected that Li Mu would take the initiative to take out this project and do it with himself.

The surprised Elon Musk asked for a long time: "Mr. Li, why me?"

Li Mu said: "Because I know you best. ”

Elon Musk said again: "But they should have given you a very good offer......

Li Mu snorted and asked him, "What bullshit offer do you think I need them to give me?"

Elon Musk instantly understood!

I see!

Although Li Mu is young, it does not mean that he is immature, nor does it mean that he really wants to respect the old and love the young in this circle of top rich people, although it is a little rude to refuse the olive branch thrown by others, but he really does not need any offer from the top rich people, although everyone has a lot of age checks, but the value and future development space are really not much worse.

Subsequently, Li Mu continued: "Makino Technology landed in the U.S. market not long ago, the future of the U.S. market still has a long way to go, I not only hope that YY can gain a firm foothold in the United States, long-term development, but also hope that Makino Technology can become an Internet company that is accepted, welcomed and respected by the American people, this charitable foundation, leaving Makino Technology is the best choice, it can make Makino Technology get enough respect in the United States." ”

"Of course!" Elon Musk said, "In that case, it would be better for Makino Technology to run this project on its own, you don't need to let me get involved!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said: "Elon, we are friends, I appreciate you very much, and I believe that there will be a lot of cooperation projects between us in the future, I hope we can be closely tied together in the future, so this foundation, just the beginning of our cooperation at that time, if you are interested, give me a clear answer, I will immediately ask Xue Qingying to contact you to discuss the follow-up, if you don't want to, I won't force it." ”

Li Mu is several years younger than Elon Musk, but I appreciate you very much, but he said it very naturally, Elon Musk did not feel any sense of disobedience, although Li Mu is much younger than himself, but he is indeed more successful than himself, so to get such a direct affirmation from him, Elon Musk is also very useful.

At the same time, Elon Musk also knows very well that Li Mu's words are actually more of a solicitation, hoping to tie himself to him and Makino Technology in the future.

For Elon Musk, he also hopes to be able to become a community of interests with Li Mu, and it is best to cooperate more with him, the most ideal situation is naturally to become an equal and equal partner with Li Mu, but this is not realistic after all, with Li Mu's current status and state, he no longer needs an equal partner, he needs unequal followers.

Li Mu is a builder of ecology, this ecology is like a towering tree in the forest, in the process of growth, it will not and does not need to cooperate with the same level or higher than him, what he needs is to continue to grow taller and continue to flourish at the same time, in his own tree to nurture more creatures.

It needs birds in the treetops, monkeys in the branches, squirrels in the hollows, mushrooms under the roots, and moss in the shade.

These are all dependents of towering trees and are part of the ecology of towering trees.

Now, the obscure meaning of the olive branch thrown by Li Mu is actually to ask Elon Musk if he is interested in becoming a part of this huge ecology.
