Chapter 361 Marry Bill Gates' daughter?

Everyone looked at Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu on the stage and smiled heartily.

Li Zetian smiled slightly and said, "I am Chronos·Li. Welcome to this charity gala. The purpose of this charity gala is to raise funds for orphans. I hope everyone can give their love. LY Foundation The staff of LY are here, and they will count the funds donated by you one by one. As one of the initiators of this charity gala, I will take the lead in setting an example! On behalf of the umbrella company, I will donate 100 billion US dollars to the LY Foundation!! !"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Everyone was shocked at once. The party was such a sensation at the beginning, and donated 100 billion US dollars as soon as it was donated. Is it so exaggerated? !

Many people were dumbfounded, and the reaction did not return to their senses.

100 billion U.S. dollars, an astronomically huge amount of money, was donated just like that. Such a boldness?
At this moment, the audience was terribly quiet, and a needle could almost be heard falling on the ground.

However, for Li Zetian, a mere $100 billion is nothing. Umbrella Corporation earned $1.5 trillion from the disintegration of the Soviet Union last year, and this money was used by Li Zetian to invest, even if there is only a 10% return on investment. Profits also exceeded $1000 billion.In addition, the dividends of the companies under Li Zetian's name are increasing now. In 1992, the umbrella company received a dividend of 250 billion US dollars!

So, $100 billion is nothing.

Li Zetian is also doing charity sincerely now, as the saying goes, "If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world." Li Zetian's ideological awareness is very high!

However, for others, 100 billion US dollars is an unimaginable wealth, and they will not be able to earn it in a lifetime, or even several lifetimes, but Li Zetian donated it so casually. How can this not shock them?
Of course, the other people present had no idea how much wealth Li Zetian had now.

According to their guesses, Li Zetian's worth should be hundreds of billions of dollars, but most of those are company shares.The company's shares are not accurate. Once the company goes bankrupt, the shares are worthless.

"Chronos Li, do you really want to donate 100 billion US dollars?!" A [-]-year-old man in the audience couldn't help the excitement and shock in his heart, and asked.

"Of course. What I say will naturally count!" Li Zetian smiled faintly.

"You are such a good person!!" The old man praised. He also does charity work himself, but he doesn't have the courage to donate a large part of his net worth like Li Zetian.Therefore, he expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Many people looked at Li Zetian with envy, jealousy and hatred, and even ridicule and sarcasm. They thought, what is the money?
Little did he know that to Li Zetian, that money was just a drop in the bucket!
Money is nothing but numbers.

Even if the US$1.5 trillion is spent, it will be a few years before 1997. At that time, when the financial crisis in Southeast Asia hits, Li Zetian will be able to salvage another fortune. What Vietnam, Thailand, RB, South Korea, Indonesia, etc. come over, let them It is impossible to scrape off a layer of skin!

Indonesia, in particular, actually rejects the Chinese and kills them indiscriminately. Li Zetian is a Chinese. If he can keep watching, can he watch it with his own eyes?If we don’t kill Indonesia economically, we will never give up!
Li Zetian ignored everyone's surprise, and then said very humbly: "Do charity according to your ability, you don't have to learn from me!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Jingqiu, as if to say, my dear, how am I doing? , donated 100 billion US dollars, okay? !
Yu Jingqiu blinked at him, expressing her affirmation with her beautiful eyes.

A portly real estate tycoon under the stage said very proudly at this time: "Chronos Li donated 100 billion U.S. dollars. Although my wealth is far inferior to his, I am willing to donate 1 million U.S. dollars!!!"

After finishing speaking, his eyes swept around proudly.

One hundred million dollars is also a huge amount of money!

Everyone was astonished, and looked at this rich man.

Some people are ashamed. Could it be that this guy was stimulated by Chronos Li, and his vanity increased greatly. He wanted to show it in front of everyone, so he donated 1 million U.S. dollars!
clap clap clap!
Li Zetian applauded: "Well, thank you very much for your help in charity affairs, and I thank you on behalf of millions of LY orphans!"

The super rich blushed slightly, waved his hands, and said loudly: "It's nothing, as a rich man, this should be the case. Wealth is taken from the people and used for the people!"

"Good people are rewarded. I believe that the more you donate, the more you will earn in the future!" Li Zetian laughed, "I heard that you are in the real estate business, and I also have a company under my name that is also in the real estate business. It’s time to sit down and talk.”

"It's an honor to sit down with you and discuss business!!!"

The real estate tycoon was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that he would be favored by Chronos Li after donating 1 million U.S. dollars, and he would be able to do business with him in the future. Hahaha, it's so profitable! ! !

Others were shocked, what's the situation, I can cooperate with Chronos Li after donating money, why don't I rush to donate money? ! !

For a while, the audience became chaotic, and a group of people rushed to donate money.

Li Zetian smiled lightly, "It seems that everyone is very keen on charity, and they are rushing to donate money, and the amount is quite a lot!"

When Yu Jingtian heard the words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she tried her best not to laugh.

Every time she raises funds, it is not easy. There are very few people who donate 1 million US dollars. Usually, after a fundraising event, the funds raised by the LY Foundation are less than 1000 million US dollars, sometimes even less than [-] million. Dollar.Even if there are so many people in this world who are truly willing to do charity! !

As for herself, she started doing charity with utilitarianism in mind, allowing the company to reduce taxes and gain a good reputation.But after experiencing too much and seeing too many pitiful orphans, Yu Jingqiu's heart gradually changed, and she became a true philanthropist.

Under the influence of Jingqiu, Li Zetian became keen on doing real charity.

At this moment, Yu Jingqiu looked at the audience and couldn't help laughing.I went to invite these people to participate in the charity gala. Although they would donate money, they were very reluctant. Now they are rushing to donate money, and they donate more than anyone else. I am afraid that Li Zetian will not notice if they donate less.

In less than an hour, the LY Foundation raised nearly US$111 billion, of which US$100 billion was donated by Li Zetian.

In other words, nearly $11 billion was donated by others present.

Just raising 11 billion US dollars is already unprecedented!Not to mention $111 billion! !

People at night were secretly frightened!

The faces of the reporters from the major media are full of excitement, and the headlines are already there.

"Haha, this charity show is destined to shock the whole world!" A reporter said with a flushed face.

Another reporter said: "This is the craziest charity show ever!"

"Haha, Chronos Li is amazing. He really has a lot of money and wealth. He donated 100 billion US dollars at once. His strength is terrifying!"

"With 100 billion US dollars, you can enter the top five in the world's richest list."

"It's not 100, [-], but [-] billion. If only I had so much money!"

"One thousandth, no, one ten thousandth, as long as one ten thousandth, I am already satisfied! Be a millionaire, I will have a house, a car, a beautiful woman!"

"Hey, everyone, don't be envious, go back to code quickly, writing a press release is important!"

"..."

……

After the party, Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, Bill Gates, and Buffett stayed in a box in the hotel.

"Chronos, you are really cunning, whoever donates more, you will take care of his business!" Bill Gates sipped his red wine, looked at Li Zetian and smiled.

"For business, it's not cooperation to find someone to cooperate with. People who donate a lot of money, it's okay to take care of their business a little bit." After a pause, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Zetian's mouth, and then said, "Hehe, through this incident, It will be much easier for the LY Foundation to raise funds next time."

Buffett smiled and said, "Haha, as expected of Mr. Li, you are really smart!"

"Hehe, it's all driven by profit!" Li Zetian said modestly.

Yu Jingqiu didn't speak, she propped her chin with her left hand, and looked at Li Zetian quietly with her beautiful eyes, with a trace of admiration in her tenderness.

Bill Gates said, "Oh, by the way, Chronos, what did you call us here for?"

"Of course it's something that was agreed before. Didn't you say that you want me to find a good project and let everyone invest together. I thought about it, and it really reminded me of a good project!" Li Zetian laughed.

When Buffett said that he would ask Li Zetian to find good projects for them, he was quite joking.

With Li Zetian's financial resources, if there is a good project, there is no need to bring the two of them in.Buffett did not expect Li Zetian to take it seriously.

However, Buffett did not reject this offer. He was very curious about what project Li Zetian was talking about, and he would naturally be willing to invest if possible.

Who is Li Zetian? He is a recognized investment genius. He is as rich as a country. None of the projects or companies he invested in failed. He is simply a legend!
Bill Gates' eyes lit up. He knew more about Li Zetian than Buffett knew about Li Zetian.Li Zetian is not an ordinary genius, but a super genius. Word, Excel, ppt, Hotmail, etc. are all designed by him. Microsoft can achieve its current achievements, and Li Zetian has played an absolute role.

"Chronos, what is a good project?" Bill Gates couldn't help asking.

Li Zetian smiled faintly, took a sip of the wine, and said slowly, "A tourism project!"

Bill Gates, Buffett and Yu Jingqiu all expressed doubts, what kind of tourism project is a good one?

"Ha ha,"

Li Zetian smiled, "Now that the Internet age has come, haven't you thought about moving tourism projects to the Internet?"

Buffett seemed not interested in technology companies, and he frowned slightly when he heard this.

But Bill Gates suddenly realized, as if a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, he was inexplicably excited.

Yu Jingqiu smiled beautifully, and was very interested in this very novel online travel project.

Li Zetian looked at Buffett and said, "Mr. Buffett, do you think this project is not good?"

"It's not bad. It's just that I don't know much about technology companies, so I dare not invest rashly."

Li Zetian said with a smile: "That's right, technology companies have ups and downs, and they are not as stable as traditional companies. Many technology companies in Silicon Valley were guests of venture capital companies one day, and they may go bankrupt the next day, and they are disgusted by others!"

"Mr. Li, I want to hear your detailed plan before making a decision." Buffett said in a deep voice. He said this out of trust in Li Zetian. If others persuade him to invest in Internet companies, they will definitely listen. don't want to hear.Buffett's investment philosophy is incompatible with Internet companies. In his previous life, the Internet was so popular that he couldn't resist not investing.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it carefully."

Li Zetian pondered for a while, and went through Ctrip, eLong, Tuniu, tripadvisor, priceline, etc. in his mind, and then said, "This online travel project is to create a travel website and build a huge database. It has a large number of information about travel purposes. Local information, including information on flights, hotels, scenic spots, restaurants, etc. Netizens log on to the website to browse attractions, book air tickets, hotels, etc..."

Although Li Zetian didn't say much, he was concise and to the point. As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jingqiu, Bill Gates and Buffett were all shocked!
In fact, Bill Gates also had an idea in his heart, but compared with what Li Zetian said, it immediately paled in comparison.

"Chronos, your idea is really shocking!" Bill Gates exclaimed.

Buffett was stunned for a moment. He is more stable because he is old, and he thinks a lot. After a while, he said, "Mr. Li, this project sounds good, but I'm afraid it's easier said than done!"

When Li Zetian heard the words, he couldn't help but look at Buffett more.

"Hehe, Mr. Buffett saw the essence right away when he looked at the problem! Yes, travel websites are indeed easier said than done!" Li Zetian said, "Travel websites are just an intermediary company after all. It is indeed not easy to get so many companies willing to cooperate with it! However, the development potential of the travel website cannot be denied. Once the travel website is successful, it will change the future tourism market and promote the development of tourism!! In reality, many people want to travel , but it’s just an idea and has not been put into action. But they saw the travel website and saw a lot of beautiful scenic spots, and maybe they can make a business!”

After a pause, Li Zetian said a very philosophical sentence: "If you don't go shopping, there will be no transactions!"

Buffett mused.

Bill Gates has already been persuaded by Li Zetian, "Chronos, no matter what, I want to invest in this project!" Although this project seems difficult to implement, Bill Gates knows that as long as Li Zetian is there, the possibility of success Great sex.

Seeing that Bill Gates agreed, and that the project was proposed by Li Zetian, Buffett finally nodded and said: "Mr. Li, since Bill Gates is willing to invest, then I am willing to invest too!"

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

The Buffett and Bill Gates families have great influence in the United States. Li Zetian used a travel website company to win them over, which is very cost-effective, and with their help, the travel website can develop more smoothly.In addition, Bill Gates' daughter is only a few years younger than William.Li Zetian also saw photos of Bill Gates' daughter growing up in his previous life. She is quite beautiful and has a good tutor.In this life, his daughter might not be bad, and she might become his daughter-in-law in the future... Marriage and the like are very common among big families.
