The next morning, after breakfast, Gates took Tang Ming to visit Microsoft's headquarters.

Sitting in the car and driving out of the 'big house', Gates said: "Don, maybe in two or three years, you will have more wealth than me and become the new richest man in the world." ”

"I don't want to be the richest man in the world." Tang Ming spread his hands and said that he was not interested in the title of the richest man in the world at all.

"If it really comes to this point, it's not a question of whether you want to be it or not, unless you can hide a part of your wealth very perfectly." Gates said and complained, "Actually, it's really not good to be the richest man in the world, every move will be put in the spotlight, and many celebrities are not free." ”

"Then let's continue to leave the position of the richest man in the world to you, anyway, you have been in office for more than 20 years and already have a wealth of experience." Tang Ming said with a smile.

"It's not up to me to decide, of course, you can try to buy Forbes magazine and get them to lower your wealth figures." Gates suggested.

"Forget it, let it be." Tang Ming shook his head and said.

After chatting for a while about the topic of the world's richest man, Gates said frankly: "Don, you should have guessed that I not only invited you to be a guest this time, but also had some other purposes, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

"I've guessed, I've guessed that it must have something to do with Po Ding Cao, right? Is it the U.S. government that wants it? Tang Ming asked.

"The U.S. government does want to, but I'm not a lobbyist for them." Gates said.

Gates' thinking is similar to that of most of America's plutocrats, who use the U.S. government as a tool for profit, but not for it.

"Since you're not a lobbyist for the U.S. government, why do you want Po Ding Grass?" Tang Ming asked suspiciously.

"Some friends and I have set up an oasis fund to fund the transformation of deserts in extremely poor countries, and this cannot be done unless you approve it." Gates said.

"Why are you doing this, is it doing you any financial or political benefit?" Tang Ming asked puzzled.

"It's not good, the Oasis Fund is not a charitable fund, but it is also a non-profit fund, we just want to contribute to the world, these poor countries simply can't afford to buy Podin seeds and nutrient solutions without the support of foreign funds." Gates said.

"Are you scolding me for selling Po Ding grass seeds and nutrient solution too expensive?" Tang Ming asked with a smile.

"I didn't mean that, you are a normal business practice, blameless." Gates said hurriedly.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Tang Ming said.

After speaking, Tang Ming fell silent and thought quietly, he didn't expect that the reason why Gates invited him over as a guest would be this, since Gates wanted to do good things, he had no reason to refuse, so he said: "If the Oasis Fund is really non-profit and has no political purpose, then I will definitely support you." ”

"Thank you, Don." Gates said gratefully, "By the way, I want to tell you one more thing, the Oasis Fund has negotiated with President Duterte to buy his share of 300,000 tons a month at a price of 1,200 Australian dollars per tonne, of course, this requires your consent." ”

"No problem, I agreed." Tang Ming said, "I thought that the Philippines' share would be bought by Prince Asoud, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands, it seems that President Duterte has earned 90 million Australian dollars every month without doing anything, and with this income, you Americans have a harder time in the Philippines." ”

"I'm not interested in politics, and I'm even less interested in international politics, otherwise I would have run for president a long time ago." Gates said with a shrug.

After a little more talk about the Oasis Fund, the team arrived at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond.

Microsoft's current chairman, John Thompson, and CEO Satya Nadella were waiting at the door, and Gates introduced them to each other and took Tang Ming in for a tour.

After a quick look, and a working meal at Microsoft headquarters, Tang Ming and Gates left here.

"Don, where else do you want to see? I'll be your guide. Gates said.

"No need, you're so busy, I won't bother you, I'll go around the United States by myself." Tang Ming said.

"Okay, I'll send an assistant to accompany you, and you can talk to him where you want to go." Gates said.

"Thank you." Tang Ming said, "However, I really have something I want to trouble you. ”

"What's the matter, just say, you're welcome, you're my guest, in your Chinese words, I must make you feel at home." Gates said.

"It's about Xiaobai's ......" Tang Ming told Gates about Xiaobai's situation, and finally said sincerely, "This matter will trouble you." ”

"Okay, I'll try to find a good guy for Xiaobai." Gates didn't expect Tang Ming to make such a request, and agreed with difficulty, "But to be honest, Xiaobai is indeed bigger than the average male tiger, and it is difficult to find one that matches it, so don't get your hopes up." ”

"I know, but how do you know if you don't try, in case you find the right one." Tang Ming said.

……

After returning to the 'big house', Tang Ming and Melinda said goodbye, then left with 20 security guards and assistants, found a hotel in Seattle, and prepared to travel around the United States tomorrow.

Xiaobai and Hercules stayed at Gates's house, and Tang Ming left two assistants to take care of them.

At night, Tang Ming wandered around downtown Seattle, followed only by Andy and two security guards, as well as the assistant Corbett sent to him by Gates.

The other security personnel were scattered all around, protecting Tang Ming's safety.

Seattle, also known as the Emerald City, the Evergreen City, the Emerald City, and the Queen City, is recognized as the city with the highest quality of life in the United States.

"Andy, where do you say we should go first?" Tang Ming walked down the street in Seattle and asked Andy while looking at the scenery.

"Me, the place I want to go to the most is Las Vegas, I don't know if you like it there, boss." Andy said.

"Las Vegas is indeed a good place to visit." Tang Ming said, "Okay, let's go to Las Vegas tomorrow." ”

Now that it has been decided, Tang Ming is not in the mood to go shopping, so he returns to the hotel with everyone.

When he returned to the room, he first called Gates's house and asked about Xiaobai and Hercules, and learned that they didn't make any trouble, so Tang Ming was relieved.
