Chapter 145: The Gathering of the Big Guys

In this era, Amazon is already the largest and most famous bookstore on the Internet, and Bezos is also a well-known entrepreneur and entrepreneur in Seattle. However, at the banquet, he was not the focus of attention at all.

In March last year, in the list of the world's richest people released by Fortune magazine, the king of Brunei ranked first with a net worth of $38 billion, Bill Gates ranked second with a net worth of $36.4 billion, followed by the Walton family of five tied for third, Warren Buffett fourth, Saudi Arabia's king fifth, Southeast Asia's first greedy, Indo-Indonesian President Sushiharto sixth, and Gates' partner and Trail Blazers boss Paul Allen seventh.

Li Wei and Luo Wei each have a net worth of 5 billion US dollars, ranking 60th and 61st on the list, as for George Soros, who killed bloody in Southeast Asia with Li Wei in the summer, his net worth is only 2.5 billion, ranking 141st.

In terms of personal property, Li Wei has more than Soros, but in terms of influence in the world financial field, he is far behind. Because Soros's five hedge funds are not his own money, Weiwei Fund is still far behind others in terms of scale.

Last year's Li Wei was already very beautiful, but this year's ranking will move greatly.

Affected by the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the fortunes of the King of Brunei and Sushiha Shito are bound to shrink, while Microsoft's stock has soared throughout the year, and Bill Gates is sure to return to the throne of the world's No. 1.

Li Wei and Luo Wei's Weiwei Fund has made a big profit in Southeast Asia and is the biggest beneficiary of the crisis, coupled with the soaring stocks of companies such as Amazon, the assets in their hands will definitely double, and they are expected to be among the top 10 in the world this year.

So at this banquet, the two protagonists are Li Wei and Bill Gates.

"Cui Rong, this is the richest man in the world, come to him to borrow if you have no money in the future." Li Wei introduced.

Bill Gates laughed: "David, don't be kidding, you have more liquidity than I do." Ms. Xia, you are so beautiful! ”

"Thank you." Xia Cuirong blushed.

"Ms. Xia, it's rare for you to come to Seattle once, come, this is my gift to you." Howard Schultz Dao.

Schultz is the chairman of Starbucks, which is also headquartered in Seattle, and Schultz's gift is naturally coffee.

Li Wei remembered that Schultz bought the SuperSonics in 01 in his previous life, and then lost money year after year, and the city did not build a new stadium, so he had to sell it. This fire sale directly led to the team moving, and the Seattle SuperSonics became the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"David, I heard that your team has won thirteen in a row?" Barry Ackley Dao.

Li Weidao: "That's right, tomorrow we will win 14 consecutive victories!" ”

Akeley smiled: "You can dream about it, our supersonic will definitely end your winning streak, you know, we are now the first in the league!" ”

Barry Ackley is the current owner of the Seattle SuperSonics and the CEO of the Ackley Group. The Ackley Group is a media company that owns several television stations, primarily in New York and California, and one in Fairbanks.

Li Weidao: "I know that you are the number one in the alliance, and I came here to defeat you as the number one in the alliance!" ”

"What a confidence!" Barry Ackley laughed, and then the secretary asked for a leather bag: "Tomorrow night, I will lead the league's No. 1 SuperSonics team against the New York Knicks led by David with 13 consecutive wins, this is the ticket for the VIP seat on the sidelines, I invite everyone to watch it together!" ”

Schultz smiled: "Don't think we don't watch the game, the Knicks are indeed led by David, but are you the Supersonics?" At best, you're just shouting and cheering on the sidelines! ”

Akeley said: "Don't expose my old bottom, of course my old bones don't have David's ability, I can be the head coach, it's good to be able to work hard." Come on, come on, let's watch the ball tomorrow! ”

Ackley successfully sold his tickets, and Bill Gates and others said they wanted to see how the SuperSonics beat the Knicks, who had won 13 in a row.

Of course, the Knicks also have supporters, and Bezos thought the Knicks could win 14 in a row, so everyone in Seattle despised him: How can you not support the team in this city?

After the banquet, Bezos and others invited Li Wei to their villa, but Li Wei was not invited on the pretext that the team still had tactics to arrange.

In fact, Li Wei didn't go to be a guest, the main reason was to be with Xia Cuirong. Although it is normal for a billionaire in the United States to have a lover, Xia Cuirong will definitely be embarrassed, so don't go.

Back at the hotel where the team stayed, Li Wei just walked into the presidential suite, Xia Cuirong closed the door like a thief, and then chuckled: "Great, it's away again!" ”

Li Wei stood on tiptoe and pinched her face: "Didn't you feed you every day when you were at home?" To be so happy? ”

Xia Cuirong said: "That's different, in New York, we can only squeeze out a little bit of time at noon, and now I can accompany you all night." ”

Li Wei felt sorry for her, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, and then the two of them began to be busy, well, work.

After the work was over, the two entered Yumuro together.

Xia Cuirong leaned on Li Wei's side, and suddenly said, "Why do I feel like you have become a little taller?" ”

Li Wei smiled: "Is there one?" ”

Xia Cuirong said: "Last summer, when we were together for the first time, I felt that you were a little shorter than now. ”

Li Weidao: "How do I think that the 17th of last month was the first time we were together? ”

Xia Cuirong's pretty face turned red, and she stretched out her little hand to beat him: "That's the first time you've made a mistake!" ”

Li Wei hurriedly held her hand and chuckled: "Okay, okay, I'm indeed a little taller, and now I'm 1.51 meters." Your husband has become taller, are you happy? ”

"Really getting higher? How did you get up? ”

Li Weidao: "I have deep internal strength, and it is nothing to grow taller now, and it will grow in the future!" ”

The two of them got tired of the tank for a while, and then went back to the bedroom.

Xia Cuirong said: "Now the supersonic speed is the first in the whole league, so powerful, can we beat them?" ”

Li Wei said: "Who knows, try it." ”

The next day, the Knicks came to the Key Arena together for adaptation training. Dennis Johnson, the team's general manager, sighed softly as he looked up at the four retired jerseys over the arena.

Back then, he was drafted by the SuperSonics and became a star on the SuperSonics. In the 78-79 season, the SuperSonics won the only championship trophy in team history, and he was the brightest FMVP in the finals!

But then, because of a feud with head coach Lenny Wilkens, he was sold by the team and ran over to the Celtics.

Now, the jerseys of head coach Wilkens, center Jack Hickma, and defender Fred Brown have all been retired here, and the jerseys of another hero, Geith Williams, are said to be retired in the future, only as an FMVP, the jersey will not be retired!

Although the Celtics have retired his jersey, he feels very uncomfortable every time he comes to the SuperSonics arena!

"What's wrong, Dennis?" Li Wei asked.

Dennis Johnson glanced at Li Wei, and then patted the other party's shoulder: "David, we must win this game!" ”
