Chapter 620: The richest man who loves to pretend to be X
Li Xuan's exchange meeting with students from the University of Austin was arranged to be held in the auditorium of the School of Economics. It's a little smaller than the main venue of the Internet Conference, but it's big enough for a talk session.
After a short opening remarks by a beautiful blonde girl, Li Xuan appeared amid warm applause mixed with a few screams.
"Hello, why are you so excited? Is Tom Cruise here?" Li Xuan deliberately poked his probe left and right after speaking, and after confirming that there was no one else, he sat on the sofa.
His words and funny movements immediately caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
"Mr. the richest man, you are much more popular than Hollywood stars, right?" The person sitting opposite Li Xuan was the girl who made the opening remarks just now. This is an American sweetheart who fits Hollywood standards very well — blonde hair, big breasts, and a big smile.
Of course, the American sweethearts in Hollywood movies are all big-hearted, big-chested. And while interacting with the audience with ease, this chick did not forget to discharge Li Xuan with those big blue eyes, and at first glance she was a good person.
It's a pity that Li Xuan didn't come to flirt with his sister today, so he could only turn a blind eye to the beautiful woman's touching eyes.
The rules of today's exchange event are very simple, the audience enters the questions they want to ask into the computer, and Li Xuan selects and answers the questions he is interested in in front of the screen.
Since he is here to participate in the Global Internet Conference, Li Xuan is still very conscientious and always seizes every opportunity to expand the influence of the Internet. For example, this time, one of the important reasons why he didn't bother to let the audience type their questions into the computer, instead of directly raising their hands to ask questions on the spot, was that AOL's online chat community would do a live graphic broadcast.
In addition to answering questions from the audience, Li Xuan will also select some questions from online netizens to answer impromptu!
"Well, let me answer this question first!'May I ask what is the most distressing thing for you now?', who asked this question on the spot, can you raise your hand and let me know you?" Li Xuan looked around and said.
On the left side of the second row, a bespectacled, brown-haired girl raised her hand shyly. The companion next to her was even more excited than she was, and was surprised that their question was chosen first.
"Then what do you think will be the most distressing problem right now?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.
Taking advantage of Li Xuan's rhetorical question, the staff had quickly handed a microphone to the girl, who was a little shy: "Well, I can't say it well, but I think you should be worried about the company's management."
After all, Oriental Group is one of the world's largest multinational companies, involving computer hardware and software, semiconductors, the Internet, media and entertainment, finance, home appliance retail and many other industries, and its branches are all over the world.
Managing such a large, complex company is sure to take a lot of effort!"
The girl apparently knew a little about the Oriental Group, and she knew everything about businesses like finance, which the Eastern Group had not been involved in North America. It's a pity that Li Xuan shook his head and didn't agree with her guess!
"The Eastern Group is indeed a difficult company to manage, but you guessed it wrong, its current management is not me! My current title is neither President of the Group nor Chairman of the Board of Directors, my position is the Chief Strategy Officer of the Eastern Group!
So my task is only to set the direction for the development of the Eastern Group, and the specific management work is naturally the responsibility of the management! Do you think those executives get tens of millions of dollars a year for nothing? They have to work!"
Li Xuan made a vicious expression as he spoke, just like a black-hearted capitalist! There was another burst of applause and laughter at the scene.
After everyone gradually quieted down, Li Xuan smiled and continued: "The most distressing problem I am about now, you may not believe it when I say it. That is, the speed of making money every day is faster than spending money! Watching the gap between the second place on the rich list and the second place widening every year, the loneliness and despair in your heart must be difficult for you to understand!"
If there are international students from Sichuan on the scene, it is estimated that they can't help but spit on Li Xuan with this classic national scolding, you are too X!
Fortunately, the quality of the audience at the scene was very high, and they didn't start scolding their mother! Of course, it may also be that poverty has limited their imagination and they can't experience Li Xuan's pretending to be X!
At this time, the expression on Li Xuan's face was very sincere, and there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes, but in fact, he naturally smiled in his heart. I finally have the opportunity to pretend to be X in a chic way, I don't know if many years later, the online melon friends will turn out this old image again, and will give him a nickname like "the originator of X".
There are several realms of X, and the lowest end is naturally Dick Silk X. So poor that I could only eat instant noodles, I went to a certain treasure to buy a Maserati car logo key, and then took a photo and sent it to Weibo, and I also became a rich second generation.
And the real rich second generation has long been less Lo car keys, and now it is popular to drive a luxury yacht to the high seas and take a private jet to Milan to watch a show!
But this is still not the highest level of pretending to be X! How should the real rich pretend to be X? Twenty years later, masters from all walks of life have already set an example for Li Xuan!
In China, there are the repentant Ali Jack Ma, who is known as the Four Heavenly Kings, the unknown wife Meiqiang Dong Liu, the ordinary family twist vine, and the king of Jianlin, who has nothing. And abroad is not inferior, the new richest man in the world, Amazon dictator Mr. Bezos said to the media. One of the sexiest things he's ever done is insisting that he wash the dishes every day after dinner with his family!
Do you hear that? Male compatriots! Why does your wife or girlfriend always dislike you for not being sexy enough, because you don't like to wash dishes! Start washing dishes today, and become the richest man tomorrow!
"Well, I was just joking, and I didn't have any ill intentions. Journalists present, please refrain from making sensational headlines tomorrow.
Wealth is the American dream pursued by countless people, and it is a topic that will never go out of style! I am lucky to have caught up with an era of change and entered a new industry! What traditional entrepreneurs need to work hard for decades or even generations to achieve, I have easily achieved in just a few years!
This is the greatness of the emerging industries represented by IT, biopharmaceuticals, the Internet, etc.! You may have heard a term called 'global village' before, and we have really realized it now!
Well, I just saw an instant comment from Lyon, France, but unfortunately he writes in French, I don't understand French! Can you imagine a stranger across the wide Atlantic, because of the development of Internet technology, you can chat with you freely, like a new neighbor in the community!
Maybe because of the same hobby, you will quickly get acquainted and become good friends who talk about everything! Great technology has great value precipitated, and this is why Wall Street has been frantically chasing the Eastern Bloc all these years, and this is also the reason why the wealth in my name has swelled like a balloon!"
When Li Xuan said this, the scene began to burst into warm applause. Wealth doesn't come out of nowhere, and if it does hit you on the top of your head, you have to wonder if it's a trap!
"I just said so much, but I didn't really explain my previous answer! Wealth brought me great glory, many entrepreneurs regarded me as their idol, and the media chased me wildly! Even when I came to Austin, I saw Mr. Mayor personally come to the airport to greet me as soon as I got off the plane!
But wealth brings not only those glamorous glory, but also unknown troubles and even horrors! In the past ten years, there have been more than a dozen kidnapping schemes against me and my family, and I have even experienced dangerous moments when my car was shot by kidnappers!
I spend tens of millions of dollars a year on security to protect myself and my family from dangerous elements, and to reduce the chances of dangerous people committing crimes, my security advisors also recommend that I reduce my appearances on all occasions!
The vast majority of people who are restricted from personal freedom are because they have broken the law, and I have not made mistakes, just because I have made too much money! So, those who just heard me say that I was distressed by too much money, and thought that I was pretending to be X, you are wrong, this is what I really said!"
When Li Xuan said this, his face no longer had the hip-hop smile he had at the beginning, and he became a little serious. The atmosphere at the scene was also a little silent, and everyone may have been shocked by Li Xuan's revelations. There are many billionaires in the United States, and there are many shootings, but there are few reports of such and such a billionaire being held by kidnappers with a gun and tied up!
"It's my fault that I talked about the originally relaxed topic more and more heavily!" Li Xuan felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and said with a chuckle, "Let's look at the next question!"
'Do you have a money and power deal with the Bush family? Please don't shy away from it!' This question is very acute, is this because the donkey party has sent an undercover agent to make trouble?"
The election campaign between the Democratic-Democracy and Republicans is also known as the donkey-elephant dispute. The donkey refers to the Democratic Party, because their emblem is a donkey, while the Republican emblem is an elephant.
Li Xuan's joking inquiry caused many people to laugh, and it is estimated that the people who laughed were Republican supporters.
A young black man stood up from the back row and said in a loud voice: "I'm not a supporter of the Democratic Party, but I hate the Republican Party and the Bush family more, so please answer this question seriously!"
"As we all know, I have a relatively close relationship with the Bush family, and rumors about my covert political contributions to the Bush family have appeared more than once in the election campaign in the United States!
Now I am here to solemnly clarify, I do not deny that there is a connection with the Bush family in terms of money and power!" Li Xuan nodded.
The originally quiet auditorium suddenly sounded the sound of "bang", which was the sound of chair legs rubbing against the floor. Because many people have already stood up in shock, indicating that they have touched their chairs.
And the reporters in the back row "swished" and rushed forward frantically. Their eyes lit up with hunger, as if a lion had been hungry for days and began to chase its prey.
Fortunately, there were more security personnel at the scene to maintain order, and they stopped this group of people in time and did not let them run onto the stage. But the originally orderly atmosphere of the scene was irrepressibly riotous.
Li Xuan was very satisfied with the effect he caused, and saw that he continued unhurriedly: "Haha, don't be so nervous, Dongfang Group and I have always adhered to the principle of legal operation and have not violated the laws of the United States!"
When I say money and power related to the Bush family, I don't mean His Excellency the President, nor His Excellency the Governor-Candidate, but I mainly focus on Mr. Marvin Bush!"
PS: Regarding the issue of updates, the daily update of 10,000 words is definitely just a dream. Ski is not a full-time writer now, only has free code words at night, and has to do other things during the day, so he can only guarantee one update a day. And once again, I am sure that everyone will finish the book carefully, unless it is 404 again halfway!
