Chapter 165: Big Eater
After a leisurely night of sailing, the yacht was parked in Puget Sound, Seattle was close at hand, and the security personnel departing from the land had arranged to prepare the car at the dock to meet them.
"Let's go, follow Lao Tzu to eat big households!" Chen Bo waved his hand in a dashing manner, and he had the momentum of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land.
"Dad, what is a big eater." Chen Jinyu asked with a small face.
"Well, it's just eating!" Chen Bo had to explain like this.
"Eat again!! Yay, I love it! "When she returned to the United States, she had eaten a vegetarian diet for several months, which restored her cheeks to their original state, and the thought of having meat to eat immediately made her excited.
"You have to take your brother's hand and walk, now that you are a young lady, you have to take care of people, you know?"
She is three years older than Maddox, and Chen Bo has not forgotten to educate her to be able to take on the responsibility of this sister, although she is the youngest in the family. He didn't discriminate against this would-be adopted son, but he still liked girls more than boys, which was easy to see.
"Honey, why don't you give Maddox a Chinese name too?" Angelina said at this time.
Chen Bo scratched his head, except for his slightly dark skin, this child is not too naughty, "Let's call it Chen Jiayan, taken from the idiom Jiayan Yixing, I hope he can be a person with noble character in the future." ”
"Hehe, Maddox also has a name, your name is Jiayan, my name is Jinyu, it seems to be better than mine!" Eve was cheerful, taking Maddox's hand and dancing merrily.
"You let him take your surname Chen?" Of course, Angelina knows the importance of names, but she just thought that Eve, the goddaughter, had a Chinese name, so she thought about it, and now she not only has a name, but also her father's surname.
"Of course, your child is also my child." Chen Bo hugged her bee waist and said, "I always have to give you a home, I am not an irresponsible person." ”
"Is this a marriage proposal?"
"No, it's not my character to be too sloppy." Chen Bo shook his head, all the time was not yet ripe.
The group got into a business car and went to the venue of the event, the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle. This global chain of five-star hotels is quite interesting, not only as a partner hotel of Ant Search, but also a private majority shareholder of Bill Gates and Alwaleed. It is not difficult to understand why there is a Four Seasons Hotel in the Kingdom Center Tower in Riyadh City, and there are pictures of the prince hanging all over it.
As the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is natural for Bill Gates to put his activities in the industry under his name.
"Muddy howl, Chen!" There was an endless stream of pedestrians in the event venue, and Bill Gates and his wife had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw Chen Bo, they immediately smiled and said a rusty Chinese. He is not a stranger to Huaxia, he has been to China many times, has organized some activities, and will also go to school to give speeches.
It can be said that most IT people in China have seen this rich man, but by mistake, the parallel lines of the two people have never crossed, but today they met in the United States.
"Hello, Bill! Mrs. Melinda was very good-looking. Chen Bo responded politely, he dragged his family to eat a big family, of course, he had to introduce them one by one, "Chen Jinyu, Chen Jiayan, this is my girlfriend, Angelina Jolie." ”
"What a cute little angel, we have a dedicated children's reception room ready, and they and Catherine should be able to play together." Melinda directly called someone to take the two children to a special place for children to play, this kind of activity is not a formal occasion, the concept of public welfare to cultivate children from an early age is the consensus of the elite class, and they can also get to know people from an early age, although they may not know what it means at this age.
"Then it's troublesome, Lady Melinda." Angelina's etiquette naturally goes without saying.
"That's so polite, Hollywood's No. 1 beauty, you guys are really a perfect match." Melinda was full of compliments and compliments.
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a group photo!" At this time, the photographer broke their rhythm, of course there are reporters on the scene, what do the rich do charity for? Tax cuts, popularity, satisfaction, although they are all talking about low-key, it is impossible to completely hide it from others.
Chen Bo doesn't mind, there will be no domestic reporters on this kind of occasion, and he doesn't care about foreign media, there is a whole team of lawyers to serve him.
After taking a group photo, the two walked into the venue first, and there were more people, and now is not the time to greet each other, so what is the hurry.
Most of the people at the scene are celebrities in politics and business, mainly in Seattle, don't look at the richest man is an idol worshiped by many people, but his relationship with Silicon Valley has always been on the same footing, and the dislike and disdain of Silicon Valley people represented by Ellison for him comes from the bones.
What Silicon Valley will never lack is innovation, a technological revolution. But what Microsoft has been doing is using its monopoly to grab the market, which will destroy the atmosphere of innovation, and about 90% of the cases in Microsoft's legal office must be from Silicon Valley.
In 2000, Microsoft was almost broken up, and Ellison did a lot of work behind it, and Microsoft eventually lost the lawsuit, but it was intact, which is quite weird. It was also that year that he founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"Hello, hello." In order to find their seat, they pass through the crowd, and everyone they don't know will smile and say hello.
The seat with his name on it is in the middle of the second row, and it seems that Gates still takes him very seriously, and next to him is a small bald head, because his head is really not big, and can only be described as thin.
"Hello, Mr. Bezos."
"Call me Jeff, how's it going? I've heard that you're laying out a new product, and I'm looking forward to it. ”
Jeff Bezos, is both the founder and current president of Amazon. A dot-com company that was able to remain profitable even when the dot-com bubble burst. In 03, the annual revenue was 5.3 billion US dollars, and the gross profit reached 1.3 billion US dollars.
This is an out-and-out bull, because e-commerce does not have its own core content, all traffic depends on buying, and it is also one of the big customers of Ant Search. But he was able to successfully get Amazon on the path to profitability quickly, which is unacceptable.
Although the two companies still have frequent business contacts, it is the first time the two have met, and Bezos greets him like an old friend.
"It's just a matter of picking up some scraps and scorching cold, it can't compare to the huge volume of Amazon." Chen Bo sighed perfunctorily, this bald brother's actions are not small, and every year he acquires several vertical e-commerce companies to contribute to his e-commerce empire, and it is also rumored internally that they are starting to develop layout servers to solve the problem of enterprise-level data storage.
The technology sounds professional, but it will later be better known as "cloud storage."
Amazon's project is called AWS, and Chen Bo has worked hard to deploy data centers around the world, and he has to try to persuade Ellison to conspire with him to carve up Sun, also to accelerate the research and development process of cloud servers and cloud storage.
In front of both a partner and an opponent, Chen Bo will certainly not take the initiative to confide in him.
"Looks like you already have big plans in mind." Bezos smiled slightly, unmoved,
"Ahem, you've seen through it. It's going to be online soon, and there's still more than a month to go, so stay tuned! Chen Bo saw that he couldn't get around, so he casually released a message and said it.
"The ant map is good, when will the interface be opened?" Bezos's bald head is inch by inch, and he completely occupies the initiative.
"It's still debugging, but I can open up a test interface to Amazon first."
Chen Bo doesn't dislike him for coveting the map, it's what annoys me if you don't covet it, Bezos's words are right in his arms. Ant Maps is made to be used by other companies, otherwise how can I get the data? Although the free fruit tastes good, the price behind it is really not cheap.
Before Google Maps came out, I was the only one in the world, and as for MapQuest, wait until they solve the accuracy of the data and the vector atlas before they say, it looks like a single image, so what's the point of using it.
Bill Gates, the initiator and host, will start discussing with various other non-profit organizations on a small stage how to do public welfare, whether to give money directly or invest in emerging technologies to solve these problems.
Poverty and illness are two topics that cannot be avoided, Chen Bo listened to it drowsily, if it wasn't for Angelina reminding him by the side, it is estimated that it would be dark as soon as his eyes were closed and opened. This situation really doesn't have much to do with him, and he doesn't think about any cooperation between the two organizations, because the Gates Foundation does not accept online donations, only checks, cash, and bank transfers.
In addition to normal fundraising, Ant Charity only accepts online donations, and also needs the financial openness and transparency of each foundation to facilitate public supervision, which blocks the channels for cooperation.
Besides, Bill Gates would not be stupid enough to use his own money to make a wedding dress for each other, coupled with the competition between Foxmail and Hotmail, and the hostile relationship between MSN and Fox live, he would not make this choice.
This time, it was just an invitation to him to come and touch him on the pretext of charity, and how could he, as the host, allow others to come and take the lead.
After a boring forum, Chen Bo yawned and went to the children's reception room with Angelina to retrieve the two little monkeys who were having fun.
"When to eat, I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry too...... Hungry ......"
Although the children's reception room also provides drinks and snacks, it can't prepare for the child's hyperactive personality, and he doesn't have a head to eat.
"I'll eat it later, don't worry." Chen Bo had no choice but to touch the two little heads to appease their hungry souls.
