The man who turned the times

Chapter 524
"New York Times": Su Yang, the richest man in China, made a public speech at Harvard, threatening to become the richest man in the world within six months.

"Associated Press": A Chinese entrepreneur's speech full of lies and arrogance.

"Washington Post": Su Yang utters wild words again, this time the target is the richest man in the world.

"Reuters": Su Yang, the founder of Yuanyang Group, gave a wonderful speech at Harvard.

"Russia News Agency": The shameless Yankee, the richest man in China, was sniped at Harvard's speech, and the situation is critical.

……

As the richest man in China and a treasure trove of mobile news, Su Yang's every move has attracted the attention of the media from all walks of life.

At [-]:[-] p.m. EST, countries across the Western world reported his Harvard speech accordingly.

In the United States, there are praises and criticisms. The "New York Times" evaluated Su Yang's speech from a more pertinent perspective, and there were no radical remarks.

However, the "Associated Press" and "Washington Post" stood on the American side and criticized and condemned Su Yang.

On the European side, the British "Reuters" and "The Times" were also relatively neutral, neither licking Su Yang nor defaming him.

It was the Russian news agency that severely damaged the Yankees.

However, because the literal meaning was wrong, many Russian netizens thought that Su Yang was sniped and assassinated by a killer when he was giving a speech at Harvard University.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in Russia, and many enthusiastic Russian netizens expressed their support for Su Yang to restore peace and justice to the world.

But then I found out that I seem to have made a mistake...

This is so embarrassing.

"At 9:29 p.m. on September 01th, US Eastern Time, Su Yang, the founder and chairman of Yuanyang Group, gave a speech at Harvard University. The following is a detailed report."

"..."

Regarding Su Yang's speech at Harvard, Xinhua News Agency gave a comprehensive report.

Because Su Yang was in the news all year round, netizens were no longer surprised by his report now.

However, this time because Su Yang was doing something abroad, many netizens expressed their enthusiasm for this and supported Su Yang one after another.

"The Yankees are too much. These questions are obviously targeted deliberately."

"Boss Su is still coquettish as always. If you dare to be so crazy in the United States, aren't you afraid of being stabbed?"

"I'm going to become the richest man in the world within half a year? Really, why do I feel a little overwhelmed?"

"I've finished bragging in China, and I can't find an opponent. Now Papa Su is going abroad to brag again."

"Boss Su should take it easy. Don't pretend to be aggressive. This is not in China. Be careful that you will be hacked."

Seattle, USA, Lake Washington.

When Gates learned of Su Yang's speech at Harvard in his spacious and high-tech mansion, he laughed.

Gates rarely reads the news now, because he thinks most things have nothing to do with him. After resigning from Microsoft more than ten years ago, he has been committed to his philanthropy.

Gates is successful in business and admirable in personality. These things are undeniable, and even Su Yang is ashamed.

The person who called to tell Gates about Su Yang was Gates' good friend Buffett...a lovely old man whose current wealth ranking is second only to Gates.

The two don't have much intersection on the surface, but their relationship is very good in private.

Gates heard that due to the recent depreciation of Noy's market value, Buffett, who was planning to enjoy his old age, was in a state of anxiety.

Generally speaking, at such times, Buffett would not call.

However, he did. Gates was surprised at first, but after listening to his words, he realized that he had other plans.

Gates smiled: "Man, is there any more?"

Buffett was stunned, and said: "He said he would overtake you and become the richest man in the world within half a year. You sound calm and don't care about this matter?"

Gates said easily: "Isn't surpassing me the same as surpassing you?"

Buffett was silent.

Gates said: "You know, at our point, wealth rankings don't actually make much sense anymore. It mainly depends on the amount of wealth."

"Well, in fact, the amount of wealth is just a series of numbers. I personally think it doesn't matter if it is more or less."

"Also, I've been the world's richest man for too long. I've been there since the end of the last century. I'm tired. Someone surpassed me. In fact, I should thank him."

Buffett said: "Well, what you said makes sense, but it doesn't matter to you, but I have lost more than 100 billion US dollars because of him in the past six months. Do you know 100 billion!"

The shares of Noy's company are one of the sources of Buffett's wealth.

In 2020, due to the sudden rise of the iPhone, Noy's profits have declined rapidly.

The iPhone hit the push-button mobile phone market, and at the same time caused Noy's company's stock price to shrink. In just six months, he has personally lost more than 100 billion US dollars.

It would be fine if it was a normal loss, but this is obviously abnormal. Without the impact of the iPhone, Noy's market value would not have declined at all.

As an elderly person, Buffett is very concerned about his mood changes and will not use too much emotional fluctuations to affect his health.

But this time, he couldn't control himself.

Because at this rate, his final loss will exceed 300 billion US dollars.

300 billion US dollars, thinking about the miserable situation in the future, Buffett even wants to kill Su Yang.

Gates chuckled and said: "Business competition, there are losses and gains. What you are doing is venture capital, old man, you should understand this truth."

Buffett sighed: "I know, but I just can't help it."

"Don't feel bad, pay attention to your body, I don't want to hear the news that Mr. Buffett died of myocardial infarction in a few days." Gates laughed.

Buffett was silent for a while and said, "Don't gloat. I heard that his company is also doing cloud computing and software design. Maybe in a few months, you will have to face him."

"I said, I don't care. The money I earned in the past few decades is enough for the rest of my life. Even if Microsoft goes bankrupt now, it won't affect my quality of life." Gates said disapprovingly.

Buffett sighed: "I'm not as good as you. You have a really good attitude, but you don't have any idea about him saying that he will become the richest man in the world within half a year?"

Gates thought for a while and said: "If he wants to be the richest man in the world, just give it to him. I have worn this title for 20 years, and I don't care anymore. I am looking forward to it. Will he be overwhelmed if he sits in this position?" , or when he was overwhelmed, he is even crazier now than I was back then."

Looking back, Gates has mixed emotions.

Looking at Su Yang now, he saw himself back then.

Gates continued: "However, if he says that he will become the world's richest man within two years, I think there is no problem with his current foundation and development momentum. Within six months... a bit exaggerated."

On the time when Su Yang became the world's richest man, Gates held the same view as most people, and felt that half a year was not realistic.

Su Yang's excellence is undeniable, but any achievement cannot be achieved overnight.

half a year...

time is too short.
