"Zhuang, can I invite you here to watch the next game?"
Although the business was not negotiated, Bill Gates still sent an invitation to Zhuang Rui and others, although his luxury private room is not the largest, but there is no problem to accommodate more than ten people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Of course, I'm honored, Mr. Bill, when I was little, but you admired......"
Zhuang Rui agreed with a smile, he had a very good impression of the world's richest man, there was no sense of domineering in him, but a kind of old friend-like cordiality.
"Oh, Zhuang, you're so cruel......"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Bill Gates showed a sad expression, "Your words hit me twice, the first is to say that I am old, and second, you said that you admired me when you were young, and now that you have grown up, am I missing another fan?"
Bill Gates's words caused everyone in the box to burst into laughter, and no one could have imagined that the richest man in the world would be so approachable and humorous.
"Sit down, I'll send an email......"
Bill Gates said hello, and his entourage poured coffee for Zhuang Rui and others, while he sat behind his notebook and sent an email out.
The second race was already in the preparation stage at this time, and with the sound of the starting gun, ten horses galloped out, but this time the race was uneventful, and there were no surprises, and the people in the box were very relaxed.
"Zhuang, I'm curious, your horse is called ...... Are the horses chasing the wind really caught from the wild?"
Bill Gates was talking to Zhuang Rui while browsing the website, his expression was very casual, and the two were like old friends for many years, and this kind of impolite behavior would not disgust Zhuang Rui.
"yes, I chased it all day before I tamed it, and I almost got lost because of it......"
Listening to Bill Gates mention the matter of chasing the wind, it immediately aroused Zhuang Rui's conversation, and when he captured the chasing wind, Zhuang Rui exerted all his strength, and even his aura was exhausted.
However, Zhuang Rui seems to have forgotten that in the information he left to the Macau Jockey Club, he did not say that Chasing Wind was captured by himself, but only wrote that he was from the prairie, and he was completely unaware of how Bill Gates knew this.
Zhuang Rui didn't know that as the promoter of the Internet age, it was obviously easy for Bill Gates to query his information.
At this moment, on the screen of Bill Gates' notebook, Zhuang Rui's detailed information is being displayed, although there are no records from birth to work, but Zhuang Rui's trajectory of making a fortune is clearly arranged.
"Zhuang, you should have been born in the American West at the beginning of the last century, then you can definitely make a good western cowboy ......"
Bill Gates was checking Zhuang Rui's information while talking to everyone, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes from time to time, obviously Zhuang Rui's experience made him feel surprised.
Zhuang Rui's rise is only a short period of four or five years, but in the past four or five years, Zhuang Rui has witnessed things that many people can't experience in a lifetime, and even Bill Gates is attracted by Zhuang Rui's experience.
You must know that although Bill Gates became the richest man in the world at a very young age, his life is far less exciting than Zhuang Rui's.
In addition, he and Zhuang Rui are also young and proud, so Bill Gates and Zhuang Rui chatted more and more hotly, and even promised Zhuang Rui to go to his cruise ship to see the modern King Kong after the bet ended.
"I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone......"
When the conversation was in the box was in full swing, the phone rang suddenly rang in the handbag of the fourth wife sitting next to him, and after a confession, the fourth wife picked up the phone, but after listening to a few words, the phoenix eyes widened significantly.
After Zhuang Rui saw the fourth wife hang up the phone, he was still stunned, thinking that she wanted to leave but was embarrassed to speak, so he said: "What's the matter? Fourth wife, if you have to go in advance, you don't have to accompany our ......."
The fourth wife was awakened by Zhuang Rui's words, and waved her hand again and again and said, "No...... No, Zhuang Rui, yes...... There are a few guests who want to visit you, no, find my head......"
"Oh, I want to buy the wind chaser, right?......"
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, "Fourth wife, help me get back, no matter how much money it is, I won't sell it after chasing the wind......"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the fourth wife said with some embarrassment: "But ...... But they know you're here with Mr. Bill, and they're all here......"
Before the fourth wife finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the box.
"Who are they?"
Zhuang Rui is also a little curious in his heart, the person who can knock on the door of the world's richest man unscrupulously is probably not friends with Bill Gates, but must be a familiar person.
When the door of the box was opened, to Zhuang Rui's surprise, Bill, who was originally sitting on the chair facing the box door, actually stood up and greeted him.
The sofa where Zhuang Rui was sitting couldn't directly see the door, so he stood up and walked to the door, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.
It turned out that there was not just one person standing outside the door, but five people standing side by side in front of the door, and around them, there were groups of bodyguards and horse farm staff, which literally sealed the aisle of the box.
Seeing these five people outside the door, Zhuang Rui was also a little stupid for a while, although he only knew three, but these three people can be listed as the most well-known people in the world.
"His Royal Highness William, it's a pleasure to meet you, oh, Bolkia Bhutan, I didn't expect you to be here too, His Highness Alwalid, let's meet again......"
After greeting three of them, Bill Gates stretched out his hands to the two behind him and said, "Michael, Arnold, why are you two coming to join in the fun? I didn't hear you like horse racing?"
The two people in the back are Arnold Schwarzenegger, the star governor of the United States, and Michael Jordan, who is known as the god of basketball.
"We watched the game in a box with William, and he was coming, so he came with him......"
Jordan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, his signature bald head looked particularly bright, and he was holding a thick cigar in his hand, full of star style.
"Come in, everybody, please come in......"
In front of these people, Bill Gates didn't dare to hold it up, and enthusiastically welcomed several people into the box.
Of course, those bodyguards were all guarding the door, and there were really not so many people sitting inside, except for a waiter who stayed, and even Mr. Chen withdrew.
"Everyone, you must all be here for Zhuang, he is here, if you have anything to say, you can just say it......" Bill Gates also guessed their intentions, and immediately went straight to the point.
"Mr. Zhuang, I'm William, that thoroughbred, is it really yours?"
Among these people, William and Zhuang Rui are the same age, and all of them are the richest or most powerful people on the planet, William didn't pretend to be embarrassed, and used those so-called aristocratic etiquette to ask directly.
The origin and development of modern horse racing are directly related to the United Kingdom, and the British royal family has a large-scale horse farm, which hosts several international races every year.
William has been fond of horse racing since he was a child, and his preference for horses is well known to the world, and when he saw such a wonderful horse in this place in Macau, he immediately wanted to include it in his horse farm.
"His Royal Highness William, that's right, that's my ......"
Zhuang Rui replied a little helplessly, although Timur had done well enough, he immediately made Chasing Feng kneel on the ground after crossing the line to show his physical exhaustion, who knew that he still attracted the attention of so many people.
"Great, Mr. Zhuang, I want to buy your racehorse, I don't know if you want to?"
In the end, it was a young man, in front of so many people, he directly said his intentions, which seemed a little reckless, but in fact, it was William's cleverness.
Compared with his net worth, William is definitely not as good as the richest man in the world, but if Zhuang Rui personally agrees to sell it to him, then even Bill Gates will not pull down his face to compete with him.
"His Royal Highness William, I'm really sorry, this horse is my partner, and it was an accident that he participated in the competition, I won't sell his ......" Zhuang Rui shook his head and repeated what he had just said to Bill Gates.
"Oh, Mr. Zhuang, I think...... You can hear my quote first......"
William's reaction was much more direct than that of Bill Gates, "I paid 100 million pounds for this horse, can Mr. Zhuang consider it?"
William's words made everyone in the room gasp except for Bill Gates and the Arab crown prince, although everyone in the box was billionaires, but this number still shocked them.
You know, before that, the most expensive horse in the world was only 80 million US dollars, and William's price was far more than the value of the world's first horse.
Even Bill Gates was a little moved, his previous psychological price for this horse was only about 60 million US dollars, and he didn't expect the British prince to offer such a price.
For a while, everyone's eyes in the box looked at Zhuang Rui, and they all wanted to know, is Zhuang Rui satisfied with this offer?
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhuang Rui slowly shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness William, this ...... It's not about money, it's my partner, it's not for sale!"
