Chapter 42: Bill's Invitation
As soon as Wu Sinan got home, she was pulled into her room by Wang Hongying.
"Pay attention to safety, there is no problem, right?" Wang Hongying was afraid that the two young people did not understand safety issues.
"Mom, don't worry, pay attention. Wu Sinan said with a red face.
"How about it, did you ask Xiao Yue how much money he has this time, and is he willing to hand over the money to you?"
Hearing Wang Hongying's question, Wu Sinan remembered the hundreds of billions of property that Chen Yue told her, if she really told her mother like this, maybe her mother thought she was lying to her. It seems that there is only one way to make it up, and to deceive her.
"I asked, and Ah Yue said that he wrote something for a software company in the United States, and got five or six million Huaxia coins, and his money was also invested in the company that Tang Yu was in charge of. ”
"It's a good idea to have millions of high school students. ”
Wang Hongying was very satisfied. If Wu Sinan told her the real number, maybe she would be scared like Lin Rui back then, she couldn't even sleep well, and she didn't eat well.
Originally, he was going to accompany Tang Xuan to shoot an advertisement after he came back, but Chen Yue received a registered letter from the United States, in which Bill asked Chen Yue to go to the United States, firstly, to renew the matter of shares, and secondly, he also wanted to meet his pen pal.
"Xiao Xuan, it seems that I really can't accompany you to the provincial capital, let Chen Long and Sister Xiaoya accompany you, okay, I will also bring you gifts in the United States." In order to coax Tang Xuan, Chen Yue made many peace treaties.
With Bill's invitation letter, Chen Yue handed it directly to Secretary Wu of the Municipal Party Committee, because he was going to take his daughter to the United States with him.
Secretary Wu didn't know that Chen Yue was a shareholder of Microsoft, and Wu Sinan only said that Bill was a pen pal that Chen Yue had made for several years. It's just that Bill's fame has been too great in recent years, and Secretary Wu certainly knows who Bill is. He didn't expect that Chen Yue would be a pen pal with this famous Bill a few years ago.
"Ah Yue, give you a political task, how about letting your Bill pen pal come to our city to invest. As long as you do it, the city will give you credit. Secretary Wu was just joking, of course he knew that Bill was not so easy to invest.
"Secretary Wu, Bill wants to invest, and he is also in the provincial capital or imperial capital, how can he come to M City. Chen Yue replied.
"Then you tell him that after the investment in the provincial capital, I may be transferred to the province as vice governor next year. Secretary Wu added.
"Okay, I'll try, don't get your hopes up. ”
With Secretary Wu's intervention, Chen Yue and Wu Sinan's procedures were completed quickly.
Four days later, Chen Yue and Wu Sinan boarded a plane to the United States.
As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Yue saw Bill's familiar face, although he had never seen Bill, whether it was in his previous life or in his present life, but Bill's face, he had seen it countless times on the Internet or on TV.
"Hi Bill. ”
"Hi Chen, welcome. You're also welcome, Nan. ”
"Bill, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Bill personally drove to pick up Chen Yuelai Wu Sinan, and it was already evening, and Bill directly pulled Chen Yuelai Wu Sinan to his home. Americans prefer to entertain their friends in their own homes, and they feel that this is more ceremonious, so that they can introduce all the members of their family to their friends.
The mansion where Bill lives is a newly built one, with a futuristic flavor and a large size.
The car was parked, and Bill's wife, Masley, daughter, and Jack, were standing at the door, greeting guests from the mysterious ancient kingdom of the East.
Bill introduced them one by one, and Masli also gave Chen Yue and Wu Sinan a veneer ceremony, which is the etiquette between relatives and friends.
Lisi was fourteen years old and Jack was eleven years old. Faced with Chen Yue, who had been friends with his father since he was ten years old and became a shareholder of Microsoft at the age of eleven, Lisi and Jack were curious.
Chen Yue brought gifts to Lisi and Jack, which were traditional Chinese clay figurines, Peking Opera masks, and Chinese paper-cutting.
Lisi and Jack were excited about these little gifts full of oriental style.
Chen Yue brought a set of imitation Yuan blue and white tableware made by modern masters in Jingdezhen to the housewife Maisley, with a total of 72 heads. When Masley saw it, she couldn't put it down. And the gift to Bill was two boxes of precious top-notch red robes.
Dinner was plentiful, and Maze also carefully prepared a Chinese dish 'sweet and sour pork ribs'.
After eating, Lisi and Jack took Wu Sinan away to visit their room and play video games together, and Bill took Chen Yue to his study, and the two prepared to have a deep conversation.
"Chen, the development of the Internet in the past few years is completely in line with the 20-year development outlook you gave back then. Thanks to your advice, the company has shifted its focus to providing application experiences, and in just five years, the company's global system share has increased from 36 percent to 67 percent. The company's various technical reserves are also enough to ensure that the company will occupy the first position in the industry within ten years. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”
"Bill, I own the stock of the company, and Microsoft is my company, and that's what I'm supposed to do. Bill, in the past two years, there will be a bubble boom on the Internet, and you should be careful. ”
"As you mentioned in that outlook, the company's strategy department is also paying close attention to it, and we will be prepared. In order to prevent the company from becoming too large, we have subdivided the company into several small pieces and independent into several small companies. At the same time, we have also acquired several small companies with potential just for future reserves. ”
"Bill, although Microsoft entered China relatively early, it doesn't pay much attention to the Chinese market. I hope you pay a little attention and pay more attention to the Huaxia market, after all, it is a huge market. When I came, the leader of my province X entrusted me to tell you that I wanted you to invest there. ”
"Investing in Huaxia is now being done by many American companies, and Microsoft is also considering it. Microsoft now only has one development center in Huaxia Di, and our plan is to have three development centers in Huaxia, and the other two are under consideration. Now that Chen, you have proposed it, we can consider setting up a development center in Province X. ”
"That's great, I'm kind of fulfilling the leader's commission. ”
"However, Chen, you have to guide the work of this development center more when the time comes, and you can't be lazy. ”
Ah, Chen Yue didn't expect that he would find trouble for himself to do again. Bill is worthy of being a businessman, not only gave Chen Yue face, but also pitted Chen Yue into it, killing two birds with one stone, Chen Yue was sold, and he has to thank Bill.
"Chen, a few days before you came, there was a young man named Zach who gave me a proposal and said that he wanted to start a community network and wanted me to invest. I didn't say yes to him, I just told him to find other VCs. ”
Zach, the community network? I guess that's Facebook.
Chen Yue didn't think about going to Zack, but now that he has bumped into it, don't be in vain.
"Bill, Zach's company is called Facebook. ”
"yes, why have you heard of it?"
"E-commerce and community networking are the two most promising directions for the future of the Internet. I'm bullish on Zach. ”
"Since Chen is interested, I will ask Zach to come to the company tomorrow, and you can talk to him. The price he offered me was $40 million, and he only got 10 percent of his company's shares. ”
"This price seems a little unreasonable now, but ten years later, many people will regret why they didn't eat it in the first place. ”
"Oh, Chen, I believe in your vision, this ten percent of the shares is not as good as half of us. ”
Chen Yue thought to himself, I originally wanted to swallow it alone, but when you say this, I'm embarrassed not to share half of you. Anyway, Chen Yue doesn't care, more money is a number, but since you have met it, let's grab a piece of meat.
"Okay, Bill, I originally wanted to ask for the ten percent myself, and since you are also interested, we will each have half of it, and you will pay the money, and then you can deduct my dividends. ”
The two then talked about the international situation and some domestic politics in the United States, but they kept silent about Chinese politics.
The next morning, Bill took Chen Yue and Wu Sinan to the newly built Microsoft office building.
Wu Sinan was stunned by the grand office building in front of him, which was too much like the scene in a science fiction blockbuster.
The office building is divided into several areas, and Bill took Chen Yue and Wu Sinan to visit them one by one. Many employees were a little curious, who were these two young people from the East who the boss had personally brought him, and who were geniuses in software design? No one would have thought that this very young man was the fourth largest shareholder of this company.
In the end, Bill took Chen Yue and the others to his office.
Bill pointed to another large office next to him and said to Chen Yue, "Chen, if you are willing to come to work in the company, that office is yours." ”
"Bill, I'm still a student, and besides, I don't like to go to work. Chen Yue's answer made Bill helpless.
At noon, Bill took Chen Yue and the two to eat in the company's restaurant, and Bill, as the boss, also had to swipe his card to buy things, and he couldn't eat for free by swiping his face.
