Li Xuan and the three of them had lunch at the hotel and rested for a while. It wasn't until 1 p.m. that the three of them joined the lawyer who had arrived and went to Bellevue.

Bellevue is a small city with a population of 70,000 across Lake Washington, with only five or six high-rise buildings, which has always been overshadowed by the aura of Seattle.

"Mr. Wu, haven't been back to Taiwan in the past two years? b. Li Xuan asked in Mandarin.

After sitting and bored for a long time, Li Xuan, who was sitting in the back seat, chatted with the Chinese lawyer in the passenger seat. This guy's Chinese name is Wu Yaoyang, in his thirties, and his parents are Taiwanese? Bay immigrants, the family speaks Mandarin, which makes Li Xuan, who has spoken Cantonese for a long time, feel cordial.

"I used to go back to see it, but in the past two years, I haven't gone back much." Wu Yaoyang replied casually.

"That's right." Li Xuan nodded: "But it is estimated that there will not be a long time of chaos over there, so I still have to go home and have a look at it then." ”

"Who wouldn't? After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland. Wu Yaoyang looked out the window and sighed deeply.

"What are you talking about?" Brandon, who was driving, finally couldn't help it and asked anxiously.

Li Xuan and Wu Yaoyang talked for a long time, but he didn't understand a word, although Zhong Chuhong didn't know Mandarin, but Hong Kong movies used Mandarin a long time ago, she understood, but unfortunately she couldn't interject.

"It's useless to talk about some things about your hometown. How long is it left? Li Xuan replied slowly.

"If you don't say it, how do you know that it's useless for me to listen?" Blanton retorted, but he still raised his head and pointed to a five-story building in front of him and said, "That's it, it's coming soon." ”

Microsoft now obviously doesn't have the money to build or rent an entire five-story building, so it's just renting an office room on the third floor. But what Li Xuan didn't expect was that he didn't just see Bill at the door of the company? Gates, also to see his dad.

"Eh, Bill, hello Mr. Bill......" Li Xuan looked at the tall bald middle-aged man in front of him and shook his hand. This guy is really taller, bigger than his son Bill? Gates was nearly a head taller.

What makes Li Xuan want to complain the most is that this guy has the same name as his son! But Li Xuan can't be called "second" or "third". Li Xuan had just greeted his son, and he used "Mr. Bill", and now when he sees him, he can only be a "Mr. Bill".

"Haha, Mr. Lee, you can call me Mr. Bill!" Old Bill shook Li Xuan's hand, then pointed at his son and said, "Just call him Terry." ”

"Terry?" Li Xuan looked at the thin Bill next to him suspiciously? Gates.

"Hmm." Old Bill nodded: "That's his nickname." ”

All right! Li Xuan nodded.

"Then Mr. Li, let's go in and talk?" Bill? Gates chimed in.

"Okay."

Li Xuan nodded, follow Bill? Gates walked inside Microsoft.

As soon as he entered Microsoft, Li Xuan felt a word - chaos.

More than a dozen desks were placed at random, there were a lot of papers thrown on the ground, and most of the desks were placed with antique computers that Li Xuan couldn't name, and of course, two of the latest Apple-2 personal computers.

Seven or eight male programmers were busy at their desks, and they didn't even look up a few times when Li Xuan and his party of six or seven people came in. On top of that, one of these programmers didn't have a beard, and everyone else had a beard. In addition, who is accompanying Li Xuan and his party, another shareholder of Microsoft, who is also a bearded Paul? Allen, this Microsoft is simply a bearded league.

Sure enough, most of the programmers are otaku.

Li Xuan casually counted the number of Microsoft's people, including the old Bill, a supernumerary person, there were only fifteen staff members, and the number was pitiful.

This is Microsoft at this time!

"Mr. Li, please come in!" Bill? Gates said as he opened an office door.

"Thank you."

Li Xuan nodded, walked in, this is a small conference room, different from ordinary conference rooms, the conference table here is not rectangular, but round.

Li Xuan and Bill? Gates walked over to the two empty chairs and sat down, and the people brought by the two sides also sat separately next to the two. What made Li Xuan strange was that Old Bill was actually sitting in Paul? Allen's back completely puts his position at the very end.

"Haha, Mr. Li doesn't need to be surprised." Old Bill saw Li Xuan's puzzled eyes, and said with a smile: "My identity today is not a father, but a hired lawyer for Microsoft. ”

“……”

Li Xuan nodded speechlessly. This old guy also said that he was a lawyer, and if his son suffered a loss, he would definitely have to jump out.

"Mr. Lee, I heard Mr. Brandon say that you want to invest in my company." Bill? Gates paused and continued: "Can I ask why you want to invest in my company?" ”

"No problem, this must be asked." Li Xuan nodded and replied, "I have two reasons. ”

"Oh?" Bill? Gates looked at Li Xuan curiously.

"First." Li Xuan raised his right hand and clenched his fist and stretched out his index finger: "Sixty years, there was no television, and sixty years later, television sets will be popularized all over the world; Ten years ago, there were no personal computers, so what about another ten years now? ”

"In another 10 years, personal computers will be available all over the world!" Bill? Gates said with a smile as he shook his body slightly.

Li Xuan nodded with a smile on his face, but secretly complained in his heart, even if it was another ten years, computers would not be popular all over the world, and even televisions were now rare in the mainland.

"So, whoever can get a ride on this ride can make money." Li Xuan continued, then took the coffee handed over by Microsoft's accounting lady, nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Bill? Gates obviously can't hire a secretary now, and even this accountant is also his own sister.

"And what about the second reason?" Paul? Alan asked.

"Second ......" Li Xuan took a sip of coffee, looked at the parents of Old Bill sitting at the end, and said truthfully: "The second reason is that Terry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bill." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room was stunned, and even Old Bill touched his bald head and muttered, "Me? ”

"That's right!" Li Xuan nodded and smiled: "There are so many software companies in Seattle, I must find the one that can be the most successful." After looking for a lot of company information, I found you, Mr. Bill, and your wife, and that's what gave me hope. ”

Li Xuan was talking exaggerated here, but Blanton, who was sitting at the back of Li Xuan's side, was full of doubts? Looking for so many homes? Did he just find one, or did he find someone else?

"That's really ......," said Old Bill with a smile and shook his head, "I've always wanted Terry to go back to law." ”

"Haha, Mr. Bill is so humorous." Li Xuan looked at the outside of the conference room through the glass with a smile, and asked curiously, "May I ask, why didn't Mr. Bill invest in Tere's company himself?" ”

"Why should I invest? That's his own business. Old Bill shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Besides, I don't have much money." ”

The corners of Li Xuan's eyes twitched, they are all millionaires, and this money is not much? But if you don't invest, that's the best news for you.

"Still, it's like Mr. Lee said." Old Bill chuckled and said, "I've invested my biggest money in him." ”

Li Xuan nodded, what Old Bill was talking about was his interpersonal network. This thing is the first weapon to make a fortune, both now and in the future.

"I've already told you my reasoning, Terry, can you tell me what you think?" Li Xuan looked at Bill? Gates said.

Bill? Gates pondered for a moment before slowly asking, "I want to ask, how much does Mr. Li plan to invest?" Then I had to talk to Paul about what to do. ”

Li Xuan didn't speak, he raised his right hand into a fist again, and stretched out an index finger.

"A hundred thousand dollars?"

Bill? Gates looked at Li Xuan and frowned and said, lowered his head and began to ponder.

"Ahem...... no, it's a million dollars." Li Xuan coughed, did he go all the way to the United States to go crazy?

It was only Li Xuan who realized that as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him looked at him with a look of surprise, especially Blanton, whose eyes were green.

"A million dollars?" Bill? Gates asked in surprise.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded solemnly, but he wondered in his heart, what happened to these people? Haven't Americans seen this little money?

How did Li Xuan know that Microsoft had not received a single investment from others since its establishment, and the total assets of the entire company were only a little more than one million. And now many people are still very cautious about investing in this industry. Apple, for example, received its first investment in 1977 and only $92,000.

Li Xuan has doubled tenfold this time, so it's no wonder if they are not surprised.

"Then Mr. Li, what are your expectations?" Or Bill? Gates calmed down first and continued to ask.

"Invest a million dollars, 30% equity. Of course, you can rest assured, I will not be involved in any affairs of the company, I only need equity and dividends. Li Xuan opened his mouth and began to ask for a sky-high price.

Now Microsoft only has Bill? Gates and Paul? As partners, Allen and the two hold all the shares of the company in a ratio of 6 to 4. Although Li Xuan proposed 30%, it is certain that he will not get 30% in the end. But isn't it just about doing business?

"Well, Mr. Li, we need to talk about it internally, wait a minute." Bill? Gates said thoughtfully.

"Oh, please." Li Xuan nodded, looking at Bill? Gates, Bill Sr. and Paul? Alan walked out of the conference room at the same time.

"Bang."

The door to the conference room was gently shut.

"Wow, Xuan, are you really planning to invest a million dollars?" Blanton couldn't help but jump out first.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded nonchalantly.

"Wow, that's a million, a million!" Brandon shouted nervously.

"I knew it was a million." Li Xuan replied helplessly: "I don't know my money, don't be so excited, drink a cup of coffee to calm down." ”

Blanton sat down suddenly, poured himself a sip of coffee, shook his head and said, "How can this calm down!" ”

Li Xuan ignored him, stood up alone, and walked straight in front of the glass cubicle to look at the situation outside.

The noise in the conference room just now did not affect the office outside, and several programmers were still working hard. Old Bill and the three of them didn't know where they had gone, and they didn't see anyone.

Li Xuan smiled at this, he was already halfway there. (To be continued.) )
