The first thousand five hundred and fifty-four chapters are happy(1/2)
Seattle, Washington.
As soon as Fang Chen got off the plane, Bill Gates gave Fang Chen a huge hug in front of many reporters.
After taking a look at the media reporters who had just arrived in a hurry, Fang Chen leaned into Bill Gates' ear and said helplessly: "Bill, I now have every reason to think that you are just putting on a show."
In his memory, Bill Gates, an old boy, has never been so enthusiastic towards him, let alone in front of so many media reporters. The meaning is that Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone.
Even Fang Chen had some doubts. The reporters in front of him were all informed by Bill Gates.
Although there were only a dozen or twenty media reporters in front of them, they were pitifully small compared to their counterparts stationed in New York.
But these media reporters were able to arrive in Seattle before he got off the plane, which is a very suspicious thing in itself.
After all, according to common sense, if the news of his coming to Seattle was leaked from the American Aviation Administration, it would be impossible for these media reporters to be prepared in advance in just a few hours.
"It's just a show. Besides, Fang, you haven't seen me for so long, don't you miss me a little bit? And don't you think you should give these media reporters a little face and let them get some materials?"
"Moreover, now that Yahoo is about to go public, don't you think that you and I, the world's first and second richest people, and both leaders in the technology, computer, and Internet industries, can convey such intimate information?
Going to the outside world, will there be a huge improvement in Yahoo’s stock price?”
"From this perspective, you should thank me."
Bill Gates laughed twice and said proudly.
Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes. Such a greasy middle-aged man, he really couldn't imagine that a person would change so much after getting married.
However, he had to admit that what Bill Gates said made sense. This could be seen from the excited expressions of those media reporters and the flashing flashlights.
After all, Bill Gates has been a leader in the technology and computer industries in the United States and even the world since more than 20 years ago. He even had a share of credit for the birth of the Internet.
It can even be said that before Fang Chen appeared, no one could suppress the brilliance of Bill Gates.
Now that Bill Gates is willing to stand up for Yahoo, it is indeed a great help for Yahoo's listing.
"Okay, I admit, you are still of some use."
Turning sideways and posing in a better-looking pose for these media reporters to take photos, Fang Chen said with a smile on his face, only his lips moving slightly.
Regarding Fang Chen's stubborn words, Bill Gates curled his lips in disdain. If he hadn't been asking for help from Fang Chen, he wouldn't have made such a fuss and helped Fang Chen.
Three to five minutes later, all the performances that should be coordinated were coordinated, and Fang Chen got into Bill Gates' car.
Looking at Fang Chen gradually leaving, several media reporters behind him couldn't help but feel a trace of regret and loss in their hearts.
At this moment, they, or in other words, many American people have a lot of questions and need Fang Chen's answers, but they lack the weight and courage. No one dares to come forward and ask Fang Chen some questions, so they can only take a few photos.
.
But when I think about their colleagues who have been squatting in New York for several days but have gained nothing at all, I suddenly feel happy.
As the car was walking, Fang Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong. This road was not the one he used to go to Bill Gates' house.
Seeing Fang Chen's strange expression, Bill Gates said in a show-off manner: "Let me show you my new home. This home of mine started construction in 1990, and after 7 years now, it is finally
It’s built.”
"The entire house, divided into two parts, has 24 bathrooms, 6 kitchens, 7 bedrooms, 1 library, 1 banquet hall, and an artificial lake with salmon. This is not a big deal.
On top of that, to keep the place quiet and nice, I planted five kilometers of native alder, maple and Douglas fir around the house and tried to keep it as natural as possible, with most of the walkways paved
The slate, cement exterior is inlaid with sandstone and granite.”
As he spoke, Bill Gates pointed to the tall trees and clean roads around him.
Listening to Bill Gates' full show-off, Fang Chen glanced at Bill Gates and said lightly: "Seven years is indeed a long enough time. It has been exactly seven years since I founded Qingtian."
Hearing this, Bill Gates's complexion suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but give Fang Chen a hard look in embarrassment.
Is there anyone as annoying as Fang Chen!
If you don’t know, you would think that he is an extremely extravagant prodigal. He spent tens of millions of dollars in seven years to build a mansion. Fang Chen also spent seven years to build a vast mansion.
A business empire with hundreds of thousands of employees and revenue of 40 to 50 billion US dollars. It is the youngest Fortune 500 company in the world and the fastest-growing Fortune 500 company in history.
The contrast between the two is truly heaven-for-earth.
But to be honest, he used to think that he was pretty good, that he had been working hard, and that he had made great progress. But now that Fang Chen said this, he felt that he had lived like a dog in the past few years, or even in this life.
Got it!
In an instant, all his thoughts of showing off were extinguished.
Looking at the depressed Bill Gates, Fang Chen couldn't help but smile.
Arriving in front of a huge mansion, Fang Chen got out of the car and couldn't help but sigh.
It has to be said that although his Rose Garden Villa can be regarded as a mansion in China, compared with Bill Gates's mansion, it can only be called a log cabin.
The front of the mansion overlooks the vast Lake Washington, and the back is deep into a hill on the east bank of the lake. It is an "earth-covered building" like a fortress. The mansion is far away from the city of Seattle and is close to the Microsoft headquarters in Raymond City.
As for the appearance, it is extremely beautiful, with white tiles and orange walls, wide corridors and large windows, a typical "Northwestern style". The bones and skin are all precious forest logs - 500,000 cubic feet, stacked up like a hill.
And the first thing you notice when you enter the living room is a huge aquarium, which contains the largest fish in the world - the whale shark, which is very rare.
"However, what I am most proud of is this 40-inch super large TV. I asked people from Sony to customize it for $500,000."
Bill Gates pointed to a huge, hill-like TV set leaning in the center of the living room.
"hehe!"
Fang Chen glanced at Bill Gates and let out a disdainful laugh.
After spending half a million U.S. dollars and more than four million Chinese dollars to customize such a big-head TV, Bill Gates must have had some serious problem with his head.
When it comes to this crappy thing, when it is eliminated, not only will it not cost you a penny to sell it, but if it goes wrong, you will have to pay 100 yuan for collecting the scrap, so that people are willing to carry it on.
To put it bluntly, Fang Chen felt that any floor tile in Bill Gates' house was more meaningful than this crappy TV.
And seriously, if Bill Gates wants a big TV, wouldn't he find a way to buy an LCD one?
Buying an LCD TV of the same size might match Bill Gates' status as a tech geek.
What the heck is it now to buy a big-head TV that is about to be phased out and show it off in front of him?
"Fang, don't you think this TV is pretty good? It goes very well with this huge living room that can accommodate 150 people for a cocktail party."
Bill Gates said somewhat sullenly that his proud work was ridiculed by Fang Chen like this.
"Bill, I dare say that after two years, you will understand why I laugh. Otherwise, you give me one million, and after two years, I will give you a TV that is only five meters in size.
One-third of the size, and the size is only as big as a super TV.”
Fang Chen said with a smile, she looked just like the wolf grandma seducing Little Red Riding Hood.
After hesitating for three seconds, Bill Gates agreed. Although he did not believe that Fang Chen could do what Fang Chen said, after all, his TV already represented the highest level of technology in the TV industry, otherwise he would not be able to do what Fang Chen said.
You won't spend so much money to customize it.
But for him, if he can get a larger super TV that is only one-fifth of the size of the TV in front of him for only one million US dollars, it will be a good deal no matter what.
"You are really rich and willful."
Fang Chen sighed and continued to admire Bill Gates' mansion.
Bill Gates also gave Fang Chen a final demonstration of the smart system he spent a lot of money to build in this room. This system allows him to remotely explore everything in his home through the smart home system on his way home, including
Let the water in the bath automatically adjust the temperature, and ask the kitchen staff to prepare dinner, etc.
It can be said that the only traditional thing in his smart mansion is a century-old tree, but the sensors in the house can also realize timely and fully automatic watering according to the water demand of the old tree.
In addition, Bill Gay also showed Fang Chen his commercial-grade kitchen that can provide catering services for more than 100 people, and his professional fireplace restaurant that can accommodate 24 people.
As for Bill Gates's audio-visual room, it is undoubtedly the best. It can even be said that this audio-visual room is an "Art Deco" style cinema. The equipment is not inferior to the preview room of a Hollywood studio, allowing guests to enjoy themselves in it.
enjoy.
Originally, Fang Chen thought that what he saw now was luxurious enough, but when he entered Bill Gates's inner residence, he realized what arrogance and extravagance meant.
Dare you imagine, a very large residence of 1,150 square meters has only four bedrooms and a nanny's room.
After reading the inner house, Fang Chen felt that the Mary Sue novels he had read before, about getting up from a bed of one or two hundred square meters, were not random fabrications, but based on prototypes. He just said that his previous knowledge was shallow and he had never seen the world's top mansions.
Just what it is.
And underground, Bill Gates also has a four-car garage, as well as an electronic band practice room and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
"Fang, you will stay in this room tonight. After all, you are my best friend."
Bill Gates pointed to a suite in the inner house with an indoor area of at least 150 square meters, and said to Fang Chen.
"If you let me live outside, do you believe I can blow your head off!"
But who would have known that Fang Chen didn't mean to appreciate it at all, but instead said it unceremoniously.
Melinda, who was accompanying her, couldn't help but burst out laughing when Fang Chen said this.
Bill Gates shrugged helplessly, and then said to Melinda: "Dear, you know, I now feel that the people I invited into my home are not guests, but bandits."
After laughing for a while, Bill Gates and his wife treated Fang Chen to a sumptuous meal.
After finishing the meal, Melinda tacitly cleared the table with the nanny, and then stepped back, leaving the space for Fang Chen and Bill Gates.
As soon as Melinda left, the room that had been filled with laughter and laughter just now suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
