"I've finally seen what it means to be really rich." Sister Ding Xue stuck out her tongue and said to Fan Wuxi, "I feel that although your home is more luxurious, it is just a matter of keeping to yourself, but looking at the life of others, your family is almost like a peasant." ”

Fan Wuxian smiled disappreciatively, and then said, ""Style" says that being rich is not just a matter of being rich. Of course, the rich cannot live without money, and money is the basic premise. What the rich need more is extreme imagination, like ordinary people still stay in thinking that having a house and a car is rich, but like some international students think that changing the best car at two ends in three days is rich, it can only be said that they are still in the most primitive stage of understanding what "rich" is. At this time, Bill Gates has been working hard to apply the most cutting-edge scientific achievements to home decoration. ”

The estimated total value of Bill Gates' Seattle mansion is about $50 million, of which the land is worth more than $9 million, and the five-acre ground is planted with native alders, maple trees and Douglas fir trees, and tries to maintain its natural appearance, with most of the sidewalks paved with stone slabs and cement facades inlaid with sandstone and granite.

The gate is equipped with a weather sensor, which can control the temperature and ventilation of the room according to various meteorological indicators. At the door of the computer house, a miniature video camera is installed, and if anyone other than the owner wants to enter the door, the camera must notify the owner. Every guest who walks into Gates' house is given a pin and pinned to their clothes. This pin will tell the house's computer control center about your room temperature, TV shows and movie hobbies. So, once the TV and music in the room are selected, they will follow people from room to room, even in the pool, and music will come out of the bottom of the pool.

The kitchen is equipped with a fully automatic cooking equipment, and the toilet is equipped with a computer system for checking the body, and if any abnormalities are found, the computer will immediately send out an alarm.

The host was on his way home and the bathtub was already there. Automatically release water and adjust the temperature, and be ready to wait. The floor can track a person's footprints within six inches, automatically turning on the lights when there is a person and turning off when leaving.

The safety factor of the house can also be sufficient. Guarantee. When the owner needs it, just press the rest switch and the burglar alarm system will start working. In the event of an accident such as a fire, the fire protection system can automatically alarm, display the best rescue plan, shut down the power system in danger, and distribute water supply according to the fire.

Of course, all the photos on the driveway outside the house. Ming is also fully automatic. Bill Gates is very fond of a 140-year-old maple tree next to the driveway, so he monitors the tree 24 hours a day, and once the monitoring system finds signs of dryness, it will release the right amount of water to quench its thirst.

The 11,500-square-foot home where the Gates family lives is a modest one, with four bedrooms, a nanny's room, a four-car garage, and a fitness center on the bottom floor that includes an electronic band practice room and a fitness center that is much more advanced than most health clubs.

The housekeeping department is located on the south side of this mansion and includes the main entrance to the mega building. Ladder, theater, library, main dining room, meeting room and conference center, but there are only two guest rooms here, and it is obviously difficult for ordinary people to stay in his home.

Since the side of the mountain is an earthquake zone, the foundation is paved with cement piers and. Multi-layer steel hooks and reinforcements were used. The drainage problems caused by the thick reinforced walls are discharged into the estuary through drainage pipes buried in the ground.

A few kilometers long pass. Cables and fiber optics connect multiple servers using the indos NT operating system inside and outside the house, and touch sensors are used in each room to control lighting, music and room temperature. Visitors are required to wear electronic probes so that the computer knows who and where they are, and the lights and other settings are automatically adjusted.

The nearly 4,000-square-foot pool complex features an underwater music system, a floor painted with animal fossils, and a glass roof that allows swimmers to swim outside and four showers and two bathrooms in the adjacent locker room.

Measuring more than 2,000 square feet, this ornately decorated library features a light-filled reading room with a stove and two hidden revolving bookshelves, one with a small bar. It houses Leonardo da Vinci's 16th-century manuscript Codex Leicester, which Gates bought back for more than $30 million.

Tower-like Douglas fir beams support the stainless steel roof, surrounded by glass, concrete, and stone walls. Most of this house is leaning on the side of the mountain, with a window facing the lake with a view of Seattle to the west. There are 84 steps to walk from the entrance to the ground floor, and those who are afraid that they will be dizzy can also choose to take the elevator.

The partially buried reception hall can accommodate 150 people for dinner or 200 for a cocktail party. On one side is a six-foot-wide limestone stove, on the other side is a 22-foot-wide video wall of twenty-four 40-inch rear-projection televisions, and next to another upscale kitchen dedicated to the living room.

Bill Gates very enthusiastically accompanied Fan Wuxian to visit his mansion, and then several people went to the house outside under the old maple tree that Bill Gates loved to have lunch together.

Bill Gates first waved his hand to let the bodyguard get rid of a small instrument, and then said to Fan Wuxian with a smile, "Hehe, this is the latest radio signal shielding system we have developed, which can block all radio signals within 500 meters of the surrounding environment." ”

"This is for bugging devices, right? For example, the FBI? Ding Bing couldn't help but ask in English.

"Oh no." Gates glanced at her with a smile, not quite understanding why Fan Wuxian was accompanied by two sisters who looked so similar, "I'm just using them to deal with the paparazzi, those entertainment weeklies are really annoying." ”

Fan Wuxi also laughed at this, and said in his heart who was he deceiving? Such a high-tech method, not used to deal with the pervasive FBI or CIA or anything, that is really a waste, as for the paparazzi, although they hate it, but they can't go deep into the inner house in the layers of guards, right?

"It's a nice place to talk." Fan Wuxian said to Bill Gates.

In fact, he is not very comfortable talking about such an important thing in a mansion full of high-tech supplies, and Bill Gates's move is exactly what he wants.

"I think there seem to be some misunderstandings on some of the issues." Bill Gates smiled bitterly and said to Fan Wuxian, "Mr. Fan, as an important shareholder of Microsoft, should be able to understand that the decisions I made at some time were also forced to do so. ”

Fan Wuxian naturally knew that Bill Gates was an explanation for the anti-piracy incident a few days ago, in fact, he didn't take this matter to heart, the so-called counterattack is just a situation, and it can be regarded as a free advertisement.

"We all have a position problem in that matter, but in fact it has not affected our income problem, on the contrary, there are some promotion effects, I think the US government should be more satisfied with such a result, right?" Fan Wuxian said.

Bill Gates scratched his head and said, "The U.S. government has a lot of skills on the Sino-US intellectual property issue, so someone needs to stand up and help. ”

"I'm the same as you on this issue, so there's no need for everyone to be embarrassed." "As one of the larger shareholders, Microsoft's interests are also mine, so I can't sit idly by and watch Microsoft being broken up, or endlessly harassed by these people who are trying to get a piece of the pie under the guise of anti-monopoly." Smart people and hard-working people should be in charge of the world, not the best bureaucrats and vulgar businessmen who are good for nothing and only look at others to make more money. ”

After listening to Fan Wuxie's words, Bill Gates immediately felt very happy, "If you can rely on Mr. Fan's strength, I believe this problem will probably be easier to solve, Mr. Fan has a decisive influence in the world's financial circles, and there will obviously be more good ways to resolve this crisis." ”

"Actually, I came to Seattle this time, on the one hand, to visit Mr. Gates, on the other hand, to deal with some of my financial affairs in the United States, and at the same time, I also have a very important purpose, which is to meet President Clinton secretly." Fan Wuxian said to Bill Gates.

After hearing this, Gates replied with some hesitation, "The relationship between me and the president is not very harmonious. ”

The relationship between Gates and Clinton was not very good, and Clinton deliberately befriended Gates earlier, but unexpectedly put a cold ass on his hot face, so he was naturally dissatisfied, and the pressure on Microsoft caused by the antitrust case at this time was very great, and it cannot be said that there was no pressure factor for Clinton.

"But if you just say that I came to the bombing of the embassy and have a secret mission, I believe that Mr. President will come to meet you." Fan Wuxian smiled and said to Gates, "You must know that what he is most concerned about now is that the consequences of this matter are uncontrollable." ”

Although Gates is a technology maniac, he has begun to care about politics moderately at this time, and naturally knows what kind of big things happened not long ago, so he suddenly realized, "Mr. Fan's energy is really huge, and Mr. President can't let go of this opportunity, this time he has to accept my favor." ”

Fan Wuxian laughed and said, "That's natural, I just said, I'm here to help you!" ”

There are no pop-ups
