The night is just right, and the moon is hanging in the sky.

Lin Fan and Klingbeck walked slowly, in fact, this ancient castle was far bigger than Lin Fan imagined, as if the side fort where the two of them were at this moment was a large wine cellar underneath.

Huge oak barrels are lined up, and some of the formed wines can be described as verdant in color, and the whole cellar seems to be faintly filled with sweetness. This is a testament to the benefits of having money, even if you are not in the sunny Mediterranean, even if you are not in France, which has a long history of making wine.

Baker stopped, sat down casually on a wooden barrel, "Would you like to have a little taste, the wine in it is far older than the boasted '82 Lafite, and many of them are left by my father and even my grandfather." ”

"Of course. ”

Baker waved his hand, and someone behind him came up to stack the barrels on the table, and there was a special sommelier to take the wine and pair it. Lin Fan admired this cowboy style of drinking as soon as he said it, "There are flowers blooming outside, and it is also a pleasure for you and me to hide here and taste the wine." ”

"In fact, our values are no longer the same as those of the world. ”

Lin Fan cooperated and gave a puzzled look, "Oh?"

"The things that people cherish in the world are actually just ordinary to us, just like my red wine, any bottle of red wine can fetch a sky-high price in the outside world, but for me it is not more precious than a bottle of water. We are sitting on a wealth that the world cannot have for generations or even dozens of generations, and the so-called beauty will actively climb into bed as long as she hooks her fingers, even if she is a Hollywood superstar or an international supermodel.

We want to eat seafood, and there will be special planes to bring us lobster from Australia, caviar from Russia, and tuna from Japan. We enjoy VIP access to most of the world's service industries, and of course this is part of our industry. We own properties all over the world, whether it's Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, whether it's wineries, farms, villas, or even the alpine savannahs and lakes......."

In fact, Lin Fan listened very carefully, and he understood that Baker was not showing off to him, because he had been using the word "we" to put Lin Fan on an equal footing.

Baker finally stopped, "I say this to tell you that in our position, low-level enjoyment and possession are no longer the goal to pursue. ”

Lin Fan bowed, but Baker obviously still had half a sentence to say, so what should we pursue?

Baker shook his red wine glass and drank the scarlet red wine, which was seen by those wine lovers in the outside world. "Let's go, let's go outside and have a look. ”

The night breeze was very cool, someone sent a windbreaker, Lin Fan threw it on his body with a flick, and behind the two of them were heavily armed bodyguards, but unfortunately it ruined the atmosphere of the night tour with candles.

"Do you like cars?"

Lin Fan shook his head and smiled ashamedly, "In fact, I only know a few brands. ”

Baker didn't sneer, "There's nothing to be ashamed of, although you're the least likely to be enjoyed by any of the super-rich people I know, but these are valuable qualities in front of your super money-making talent." "Baker is thirty-eight years old, he has seen many geniuses, and he has enough experience and experience, as he said, Lin Fan's dislike of extravagant character is indeed a rare quality at this age.

"I've been studying hard, but I think it may be that I am influenced by Chinese culture, and I yearn for the hermits in Chinese culture and place my love on the landscape. ”

Baker smiled, "Huaxia is a very great country, we have been learning Lao Tzu's idea of rule by inaction, even the ...... of moderation" Baker said this, with a faint light on his face, at this time he was not like the casualness in the wine cellar just now, but had a philosopher's breath.

"I don't know if your love for culture is the motivation for you to join the cultural industry, but according to your current layout, it seems that you are very optimistic about the media. ”

Lin Fan was not surprised or indifferent, just like two old friends chatting, "It may be that I want to create a pan-entertainment concept, combining the Internet and film and television culture, with the Internet as a propaganda medium and platform, and the cultural industry as the rear." ”

Baker did not directly comment, "At present, it is an indisputable fact that the United States and even the world are optimistic about technology stocks, especially for Huaxia, which is a market of 1.3 billion, which means that as long as you have a good idea, you can get the favor of investors." But in fact, the best use of the Internet industry and even the cultural industry is still used as a tool to circle money, industry and resources are the most important, people say that they will not be able to survive without the Internet, but people can not leave food, clothing, housing and transportation, we control the land, minerals, railways, buses, airplanes, ports, raw materials, banks, as long as we want, the economy changes in just a moment. ”

Lin Fan shook his shoulders, "Mr. Baker, you will make me feel terrible like this. ”

Baker was noncommittal, "Do you know what we say about Gates?"

"The richest man in the world?" Even Lin Fan unconsciously had a hint of ridicule when he said this, maybe he was infected by the pride in Baker's bones.

"We call him Lucky Country Boy. ”

Lin Fan could only roll his eyes helplessly, "Although I know that you won't say anything, this title still surprises me." ”

"Actually, we are the majority shareholder of Microsoft. ”

Lin Fan was dumbfounded, and Baker continued unconcernedly, "No one will get along with money, we are involved in all walks of life in the United States, not to mention that Morgan has always been more interested in the emerging technology industry, how can we let it go?"

Baker patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, "There are many things in this world that you can't imagine, and then you will find that things in the world are much easier." There is a well-known rule of 28, but in fact, there are still 20% of the 20 percent, and the world is in the hands of a few people after all. Baker summed it up with this last sentence.

Without waiting for Lin Fan to speak, Baker continued to speak, as if he was here to solve Lin Fan's confusion tonight, "Do you know why we chose you?"

"Because I didn't buy Citi on my own?"

"Yes, it was a fairly correct decision. We thought you'd continue to invest in the internet economy or expand your media sector, but instead you chose to buy a bank that has a centuries-old history and offices around the world. ”

Lin Fan moved the corners of his mouth, "Because I understand that the economy can control a country." ”

Baker suddenly smiled, "And that's what we've been doing." ”

The two continued to walk again, and suddenly, Lin Fan stopped, "I decided to join." ”

Baker looked at Lin Fan for a long time, "Why did you suddenly make this decision?"

"Since I've stepped into this castle tonight, and I've heard so much about you, do I have a chance to say no? But most of all, I also want to see the world as it really is. ”

Baker looked at Lin Fan with a serious face, "You will lift the fog shrouded in this world, and suddenly open up!"
