In order for Fan Wuxian to succeed in this secret mission, the high-level side still invested a lot of money, especially to equip Fan Wuxian with a strong envoy lineup, a total of more than 20 negotiators and staff from all walks of life, and of course, dozens of Zhongnanhai bodyguards who have carried out special missions.

Of course, Fan Wuxian didn't think that there was anything to show off with a group of Zhongnanhai bodyguards, but these bodyguards often performed similar protection tasks and were very familiar with the whole process, and those experts really needed their protection.

As for Fan Wuxian himself, his bodyguards are more than enough to cope with all kinds of security activities around the world.

Microsoft also contacted the side, and heard that Fan Wuxian was going to visit, Bill Gates said that he welcomed it very much, and said that he would receive Fan Wuzhi at his home in Seattle, and at the same time, he would hold a special party for Fan Wuzhi at home.

"Bill Gates's mansion, which is quite famous, isn't that a model of digital existence?" Hearing the news that Fan Wuxian was about to go to the United States, Fan Ting and her family also rushed back home.

"That's second, and now you're still there. You need to talk to Bill Gates on the phone in person to see if he is willing to provide this secret meeting place, if not, then you have to find another place. Fan Heng said with some concern.

Fan Wuzhi is more determined, to his father Fan. Heng said, "There is no problem, if it is usual, Gates may not want to provoke right and wrong, but now that he is entangled in right and wrong, he will not let go of this turning point." ”

Since last December the United States and the European Union. After the anti-monopoly case against Microsoft was launched at the same time, Bill Gates was in constant trouble, and it could even be said that he was in a hurry, and it was obviously more difficult to fight on two fronts, and now the biggest obstacle in front of Bill Gates was the anti-monopoly accusations made by the US government against him.

But one thing is certain, if the United States is on its side. If the flag dies down, other countries will not have the greatest help, and they will also worry about the direction of the wind, and be more cautious in Microsoft's anti-monopoly.

In this way, if Bill Gates can play a role in the Sino-US conflict. If it is important, Clinton will always let him go. Although the whole thing is operated by the Ministry of Justice, the president is the president after all, and he can still exert some influence on the Ministry of Justice.

"What Microsoft is facing now is a fine of two million dollars a day, but this fine is a drizzle for them, and it is insignificant at all, but if the dust settles on the antitrust case and they are really to be separated, the loss will be at least more than $40 billion, which is unacceptable to Bill Gates." Fan Wuxian waved his hand and explained to everyone, "So, you don't have to worry about him not cooperating at all. Of course, as soon as I go to the United States, someone as smart as Clinton will know what kind of signal this is, and all we have to do is keep a low profile. ”

"The low-key of the high-profile." Fan Ting said with a smile.

Fan Wuzhi is also ha. Ha smiled, he naturally can't avoid high-profile appearances when he goes to the United States, but if he wants to meet Clinton, he naturally needs to keep a low profile, and the more secretive the better.

Zhang Mei turned on the TV and saw that the news screen above was broadcasting pictures of the bombing of the Yugoslav Embassy, as well as protest scenes in various places, and she couldn't help but ask, "What are the casualties inside?" ”

Fan Wuxian didn't speak, but Fan Heng replied, "What do you care about so much, anyway, the building collapsed, everyone can see this clearly, and Americans can't rely on it if they want to." ”

Fan Ting and Zhang Mei listened to Fan Heng's words, and they both felt a little puzzled, and the news was also very vague about the casualty figures, but they deliberately broadcast the scene of the bombing of the building, which could not help but make people suspicious.

Fan Heng and Fan Wuxi, father and son, went upstairs with a tacit understanding at this time, saying that they wanted to carefully study the matter of visiting the United States, leaving the mother and daughter and Han Ji who looked at each other.

"There must be something in this." Zhang Mei knew Fan Heng best, and when she saw such a scene in front of her, she immediately asserted.

After Fan Heng and Fan Wuxian went upstairs, Fan Wuxian asked, "What are the casualties?" ”

"Didn't you analyze the possibility of the U.S. military bombing the embassy last time?" Fan Heng said to his son, "I specifically mentioned this matter, so the military's intelligence organization also took this into account, and after discovering the positioning device in the wreckage of the plane, they took evasive measures in time, but they didn't expect that the other party actually used a heavy ground-penetrating bomb, so someone was still injured, but it was not life-threatening." ”

"That's on the newsβ€”" Fan said.

"On the news, it is natural to publicize what is beneficial to us." Fan Heng replied, "Only if the situation is very serious and the situation is very tense can things be handled." ”

"Where did you get the body?" Fan Wuxi was very curious.

"It's bombing outside every day, it's not easy to get anything else, and there are dead people everywhere?" Fan Heng replied.

"Admire, admire!" Fan Wuxian couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

Before Fan Wuzhi left Beijing, he finished a 30,000-word manuscript and sent it to the editor-in-chief of Huafeng.com by email.

Although he said that he had a great mission, he was talking about specific things by others, and he was just a figure who could make decisions, and his main responsibility was to lead the team, get in touch with Clinton, and set the tone of the general direction.

On 13 May, Fan arrived in Seattle on a Fan Air plane.

Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, it is located in King County between Puget Sound and Lake Washington in Washington State, less than 200 kilometers away from the Canada-US border, is the commercial, cultural and high-tech center of the Pacific Northwest of the United States, and is also a major tourist and trade port city throughout the Pacific Ocean and the Scandinavian Peninsula in Europe.

Seattle is an incredible city, with its lowest elevation and yet ancient glaciers, active volcanoes, and year-round snow-capped peaks. At the same time, it is also a unique city, with green mountains, lakes, harbors and rivers, and a warm climate, such as the four seasons of spring.

In the United States and elsewhere in the world, there is hardly a second city like Seattle, where the mountains and flatlands are covered in dense, almost pristine forests, with tranquil harbors, rivers, greenery, colorful markets lining the city and beyond, and dozens of lakes of various sizes hidden among the green hills that surround the city. The trees are lush, the grass is verdant, and even the rain that drifts around, and the wind that gently blows by, all have a green color.

Bill Gates personally greeted them at the airport and arranged for dozens of high-end cars to send these people to the booked hotel, and for Fan Wuxi, it was natural that he and his two sisters, Hua bodyguards, received him at his mansion in Seattle.

Gates' home, located on the outskirts of Seattle on Lake Washington, looks like a small village.

His mansion, which took seven years to complete, consisted of several large pavilions, connected by passages and equipped with secret tunnels. Each visitor has their own personal password, which is stored on the computer in the house. At family gatherings, the computer remembers everyone's preferences for movies and music and plays them for you when you walk back to your room.

Lights turn on and off automatically when guests walk in and out of their rooms, and the computer is said to be able to set the tub to the right level and temperature as they drive home. Among the houses is a cinema, an entertainment center, and a gymnasium, including a huge swimming pool and an 18-metre-high waterfall.

Ding Bing and Ding Xue followed Fan Wuxi, which can be regarded as an eye-opener. When they walked into Bill Gates's living room, they felt that the real rich life was indeed unimaginable to ordinary people.

Put a rockery in the living room and make a fountain, that is the taste of a farmer-entrepreneur. Setting up a large fish tank in the living room, which is a middle-class pastime, and using an aquarium as a backdrop in the living room really requires some financial resources.

And the most outrageous thing is that the goods in the big tank in Bill Gates's house, if you talk about raising some dolphins and sharks, these things can also be seen in the most ordinary aquariums, but there is clearly a whale shark in it, the largest fish in the world, which shows that Gates's wealth is not just rich.

Not only is the whale shark rare and endangered, but it is also one of the oldest creatures in the world, it is neither a shark nor a whale. It's so big, but it's marine plankton. This means that it is very ineffective at digestion and very ineffective at converting food into nutrients needed for physical performance, so it needs to be constantly eating. Whale sharks are one of the most mysterious creatures on earth, and scientists have been tracking whale sharks for many years and still can't fully grasp their migration tracks, not to mention the long distances they have migrated in the ocean.

Based on all of the above, how Bill Gates artificially bred this whale shark has become a very worthy study.

Secondly, how big does this tank have to be to meet the basic needs of a whale shark?

Again, these tons of seawater alone are on the seashore, and they also need a whole set of hydraulic systems to support them, and if the residence is inland, or inland, then the replacement cost of transporting so much seawater is simply staggering, unless the seawater is imported in the form of living water.

The main thing is that serving a whale shark is not a pet like a puppy or kitten, and it is not enough to find one or two veterinarians behind his back, which requires a scientific research team.

In other words, if you're a scientist or zoologist, you can help Gates raise whale sharks.

There are no pop-ups
