Chapter 97: The Pit Man Started from Scratch

With the death of Lee Hsiao-wo at the end of January 1980, many people in Hong Kong have fallen into a strange atmosphere of sadness, joy and sorrow.

The relatives and friends of the Li family fell into deep grief, and Fang Yihua estimated that he was full of joy and was preparing to enter the wireless market. As for Li Xuan, who was sitting on the plane to San Francisco, he was worried about looking at the information in his hand.

The day after Li Xiaohe's death, the American sent Li Xuan the information he had found there. At the first glance of opening it, Li Xuan almost cursed.

Who says Bill again? Gates is self-made, and Li Xuan decided who to kill!

Bill? Gates' full name is William? Henry? Gates III, and his father's name is William? Henry? Gates II, who now co-owns a law firm in Seattle, is one of the two largest in Seattle.

In the United States, being a lawyer is a lucrative profession, Bill? The Gates family has been millionaires for a long time.

But that's nothing!

What's even more powerful is ** Mom Mary? Gates, the woman who is now not only a trustee of Washington State University, but also the first woman to chair the United Way Executive Council.

What is United Way of America?

It is one of the nation's leading philanthropic organizations, founded nearly a century ago, that mobilizes local leaders from all sectors of society to work together to identify social needs and help address issues of health and human well-being.

But it sounds like a charitable organization, but in fact it is a communication place for the upper echelons of the United States, and the rich will lack this money. Especially after Li Xuan saw many rich and famous people in the list of charitable organizations, such as the current president of i**m, John? Opel, such as Warren Buffett, who was also the world's richest man in later generations.

And Bill? Gates' grandfather, Maxwell, was even more so, coming from a banking family and serving as a vice president of the former Pacific National Bank. Now, the bank has changed its name to First Interstate Bank and is the ninth-largest bank in the United States.

What a huge resource for relationships!

Li Xuan thinks that relying on these relationships, even if it is Bill? Gates doesn't make a computer to set up a stall, and he can casually become a billionaire.

"You're not going to want to invest in this company, are you? It seems a bit difficult. Zhong Chuhong sat next to Li Xuan and said.

"It's a little hard, go with the will of God. If not, we'll be traveling to Seattle. Li Xuan closed the information in his hand, lay on the back of the chair and said slowly: "However, it is not impossible to invest successfully. ”

Bill? Gates's parents, although already millionaires, did not invest money in their son to start a company. They've always wanted Bill? Gates inherited his father's career as a lawyer, even Bill? Gates attended both law school at Harvard.

The money to start a company, but it's Bill? Gates made his first pot of gold with programming when he was at Harvard, and then found his good friend Paul? Allen, together with the investment start-up.

Now Microsoft has only a dozen employees, no senior executives, and work is chaotic among the personnel. The turnover is just over one million, and the net profit is not much, and there is no money to hire a few more staff, and it has not yet been registered as a formal company.

The most outrageous thing is that Microsoft's biggest customer at this time turned out to be Bill? Daddy Gates' law firm.

It seems that although his parents did not invest money, they still silently helped their son on the side. Microsoft, a small company, can stand out among the piles of computer companies in the United States, and without the help of his parents, Li Xuan would not believe it.

Li Xuan now wants to take advantage of Microsoft's weakness plus Bill? Before Gates's parents could help with all their might, they tried to see if they could take a bite of the fat.

So after getting the information, Li Xuan didn't plan to wait for the next year to act, so he directly exchanged the Hong Kong dollars in his bank account for more than one million US dollars, and took Zhong Chuhong and the two of them on the plane to San Francisco, USA.

Anyway, "The King of a Thousand Kings" has already been painted in Nanyang, with a box office of 1.4 million US dollars, equivalent to nearly 11 million Hong Kong dollars. Li Xuan can get more than 2 million, and the funds will definitely arrive after the Spring Festival, and the pre-shooting of "Black Man" will not be delayed. When "Mr. Zombie" and "King of Killers" are released again, money will not be a problem.

After a period of turbulence, the plane landed in San Francisco, Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong stopped for a while, and then transferred to Seattle.

Seattle is the largest city in the northwestern United States, bordering the Pacific Ocean and north of Vancouver, Canada's third-largest city. At this time, Hong Kong still has a temperature of more than ten degrees, and it is warm and pleasant. But as soon as they got off the plane at Seattle International Airport, Li Xuan and the others had to add a windbreaker, and the temperature in Seattle was only three or four degrees, which was still very cold for Li Xuan and the others, who were used to staying in Hong Kong.

"Hey! Xuanβ€”"

As soon as the two of them exited the station, a strange call came. Li Xuan looked up, but it was the tall Brandon who came to pick up the plane. This guy is practicing taekwondo, and this time he played a thug under Yuan Hua in "The King of Killers", and Li Xuan handed over the matter of finding someone to him.

"Xuan, I'm so glad to see you!" Blanton walked up and gave Li Xuan a big hug.

"Me too......" Li Xuan replied helplessly. This guy is a head taller than Li Xuan, which makes Li Xuan, who was hugged, very unhappy.

"Wow, so the cherie is here too!" Blanton suddenly let go of Li Xuan, looked at Zhong Chuhong and said loudly, and opened his arms, looking like he was going to hug Zhong Chuhong.

How can this work?

"Haha, cherie is also very happy to see you, let's go to the hotel!" Li Xuan hurriedly grabbed Brandon, dragged his suitcase and walked out.

"Hey, Xuan, I haven't said hello yet?" Brandon replied unhappily.

Li Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "We've already said hello, we're hungry now, take us to the hotel." ”

"Okay, follow me." The boss spoke, and Blanton nodded helplessly to lead the way.

Brandon rented a white car and parked it outside the airport, which saved Li Xuan a lot of trouble, but the money would definitely have to be paid by Li Xuan at that time.

The three of them put away their luggage and drove to the hotel.

In the '70s, the entire Seattle metropolitan area had a population of less than 2 million, less than one-third of Hong Kong's, and the urban population was only 500,000. There is very little traffic on the streets, which makes Li Xuan, who is used to crowded people in Hong Kong, lonely for a while.

Shaking his head and throwing these strange feelings out of his mind, Li Xuan turned to Blanton and asked, "Blanton, have we made an appointment with each other to meet in the afternoon?" ”

"Yes! Two o'clock in the afternoon. Brandon, who was driving, nodded, shook his body and said, "How do you feel about seeing the information I found for you?" ”

"It feels ......, it's shocking, no, it's shocking." Li Xuan thought for a while and said.

"Haha, so your money wasn't spent in vain." Blanton smiled proudly: "You know that after I read the information, I want to invest, but unfortunately, I don't have any money." ”

"Hehe, there's going to be money." Li Xuan immediately responded: "Blanton, I will start a new drama at the end of February, how about you come and help me shoot a scene?" ”

"Oh yes, I love filming!"

Blanton was so happy that he let go of the steering wheel with both hands and sat in the driver's seat and twisted his body. This frightened Li Xuan, and quickly pointed to the steering wheel and said, "Drive and drive!" Be careful! ”

"Hey, Xuan, it's okay not to shoot." Blanton put his hands on the steering wheel and said dissatisfiedly.

Li Xuan couldn't deny pouting, he definitely didn't have to be afraid, he would definitely not die if he had a car accident, but Zhong Chuhong was not necessarily, how could he take the risk.

Too lazy to discuss these topics, Li Xuan immediately asked, "We'll meet in the afternoon, have you found a lawyer?" ”

"It's been arranged a long time ago, and it's a Chinese lawyer."

"Yes, but I don't want a lawyer from the High Gates Law Firm." Li Xuan replied slowly. In the afternoon, they were going to Microsoft to see if they could take a bite of fat, and they couldn't do it without hiring a lawyer from the United States. As for the High Gates Law Firm, it was Bill? The law firm that Gates's dad co-founded with someone else definitely can't be hired there.

"Hey, Xuan, do you think I'm stupid?" Blanton replied dissatisfiedly: "How could I possibly hire a lawyer for the High Gates." ”

Li Xuan smiled and responded, "It's not impossible for you to be like this." ”

"Oh, Shet!" Blanton also smiled back with a foul remark. (To be continued.) )
