Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 507 The First Lady (ask for a monthly pass!)
New York, the jewel in the crown of North America, a famous cosmopolitan city, where light and evil converge.

It was the first time for Lu Yiming to arrive in this city that was longed for and looked forward to by countless people.

Looking at the bright night scene in front of him, Lu Yiming couldn't help expressing emotion to Li Yiwen: "It's really prosperous, no wonder so many people say that when you come to the United States, you have to come to New York."

Li Yiwen couldn't help but look out the window and said, "I don't know when the country will become as prosperous and prosperous as here."

Although the domestic economy is developing at a high speed now, because the previous foundation is too weak, even if it develops at a high rate of more than [-]% every year, it is still not developed.

Even 20 years later, the poor population of Xia Kingdom is still beyond the imagination of many people, let alone the present.

Although Baiyun and Zhonghai already have many high-rise buildings, compared with the United States and New York, there is still a big gap in the process of urbanization.

Regarding the future development of the Xia Kingdom, Lu Yiming has witnessed it with his own eyes, so he said confidently at the moment: "Don't worry, our country will not only be more prosperous than the United States, but also safer."

The two talked about shorting US stocks, and Li Yiwen asked curiously: "By the way, isn't your little girlfriend's family quite rich? Why didn't you invite them to join me? There's also such a thing, the family also Some assets."

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, and said: "Their assets are not enough, and this matter itself is very risky. They still have property in the United States. If something goes wrong with this matter, they can't stand it. I am different, I am I can run at any time, and Bill Gates is helping me."

"I see."

In the past two years, Lu Yiming has been very wild in his actions, and has never been so cautious like this time.From this point, it can be seen how dangerous this operation is.

Maybe he was shot eight times in the back and committed suicide.

Therefore, Lu Yiming did not want to drag the Shi family into trouble.

While talking, the two had arrived at the hotel where the charity auction was held.

At the entrance of the hotel, there are many luxury cars and countless sports cars.

That is to say, there is no landing pad here, otherwise Lu Yiming believes that there will be a lot of planes.

Li Yiwen couldn't help sighing again: "Hey, look, this is a country on wheels. There are too many cars. Looking at our country, Baiyun City is already developed, and there are no cars on the road. "

Lu Yiming is very optimistic about this: "Soon, we will have more cars, and even in a few years, big cities such as Baiyun will have to worry about traffic jams during peak hours. But the birth of a luxury car brand, I'm afraid There is still a long way to go, after all, it takes time to settle. If you look at these Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Rolls-Royce, it is said that they are century-old factories, and we have no way to compare them.”

As soon as he walked to the door of the hotel, Lu Yiming saw Bill Gates talking with someone.

"Hi Bill."

Bill Gates turned his head when he heard Lu Yiming's voice, and immediately smiled on his cheeks: "Hi, Mr. Lu. You came just in time. Let me introduce you. This is John Reed, the president of Citibank. John, This is the inventor of the USB flash drive, and now the richest man in Xia Kingdom, Lu Yiming, Mr Lu."

Hearing that the other party was the president of Citibank, Lu Yiming approached him politely and said hello: "Good evening, Mr. Reed."

John Reed had a traditional American redneck face, slightly flushed, as strong as a bull, but with a friendly voice.

Nowadays, the USB flash drive has become an inseparable item for professionals. In order to take care of the use of the USB flash drive in the design and manufacture of computers, the USB port has been moved from the back of the case to the front, which shows how successful the USB flash drive is now.

Therefore, after John Reed heard that Lu Yiming in front of him was the owner of the USB flash drive patent, he was immediately amazed: "Good evening, a genius from Xia Kingdom."

He didn't care much about whether he had money or not. After all, Citibank had plenty of money, and according to the statistics of financial institutions, Xia Guo was so poor that even the richest man probably didn't have much money.

However, such a dominant product as a USB flash drive really made John Reid dare not underestimate Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Although he is the boss of Citigroup, John Reed is simply their god to countless companies waiting for funds to save their lives, a big man they must look up to and even kneel and lick.

But for Lu Yiming, that's all.

As the saying goes, if you stand on a wall, you can be strong without desires, and Lu Yiming doesn't wait for Citigroup's money to save his life, so naturally he doesn't need to curry favor.

Bill Gates said: "Let's go in first. Lu, you haven't attended this kind of charity dinner, have you?"

Lu Yiming said honestly, "Yes."

Nowadays, there are not many rich people in China, and everyone is desperately trying to make money. Who would have nothing to do with such vain things?

Outside the hotel, there were already a lot of luxury cars and no humanity, but after entering the hotel, Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen knew what luxury was and what was decadent capitalism.

A large number of gold and crystal decorations, the walls are covered with artwork, and the so-called limited edition Lafite is piled up here to form a wine tower.

It's not the so-called luxury goods that can't enter this gate.

Lu Yiming glanced around and said, "You guys use this to test the cadres?"

With a puzzled look on Bill Gates' face, he said, "What?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's nothing, our saying."

"Bill."

A woman walked over here, her high-heeled shoes making a clicking sound on the ground.Where she passed, those billionaires stepped aside one after another.

Lu Yiming looked the woman up and down with great interest.

The woman was in her 50s, with dark blond hair and dark roots that suggested it had been dyed.

Wearing a black suit, she looked very capable, revealing the temperament of a strong woman everywhere.

Bill Gates whispered to Lu Yiming: "This is Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton. She just ran for the Senate of New York City and was very successful."

Lu Yiming: "..."

Good guy.

While talking, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton had already appeared in front of the two of them.

She saw that Bill Gates had a good conversation with a young Asian face, and she immediately felt very curious, and asked casually: "Bill, it is rare to see you chatting with young Asians."

Bill Gates quickly introduced: "This young man is unusual. He is the holder of the USB patent and the youngest richest man in the history of Xia Kingdom, Mr. Lu Yiming. Don't look at how young he is. Not long ago, he almost It knocked Microsoft to the ground."

This is of course a joke, but Diane obviously also knows who Lu Yiming is. After all, it's hard not to know someone who has earned nearly 30 billion US dollars in a few months.

Of course, Lu Yiming has seen the image of this woman, on TV and in newspapers.

It's just that, at her age, Lu Yiming couldn't recognize her even if she put on makeup again.

After all, European and American women age quickly. Before the age of 50 and after the age of 50, they have completely different faces.

Facing the first lady, Lu Yiming was naturally very polite and went up to say hello.

"It's an honor to meet you, beautiful lady. According to the old saying of our Xia Kingdom, you are a woman who does not give way to a man. If you can stand out in a political world dominated by men, maybe the United States will also have the first in history. A female president."

Diane, who was already enthusiastic about politics, was obviously very receptive to Lu Yiming's flattery, so she couldn't help laughing.

Lu Yiming's words made Dian's first impression of Lu Yiming very good.

Only after entering the high society in North America can we know how powerful Bill Gates, the richest man in the United States, is.

Different from the social atmosphere of the Xia Kingdom, America is the base of the capitalist world. Here, being rich really has status and influence, and one can even chat and laugh happily with the leader of a country, which is completely different from the domestic atmosphere.

After all, in the history of the Xia Kingdom, the status of merchants has not been high since the Han Dynasty. Not only are they suppressed on weekdays, but they are often killed for their meat if they grow fat.

It's not like the United States, the president dared to block the capitalists' money, and it directly opened your mind.

Bill Gates took Lu Yiming around for a while, and then let Lu Yiming move freely.

In the corner, Li Yiwen and Lu Yiming were eating delicious food, watching the wealthy businessmen in front of them talking and laughing happily, competing for splendor.

Li Yiwen drank fine wine and said with a sigh of relief: "No wonder so many rich people in China want to immigrate. Sure enough, capitalism is the paradise for rich people."

When Lu Yiming heard the words, he retorted contemptuously: "You think white skins don't eat meat? Open the history books and see how the United States dealt with German and Japanese immigrants in the United States during World War II. When Xia Guo grows to When it is enough to challenge the hegemony of the United States, you can see if those immigrants can have good fruit."

Twenty years later, Lu Yiming is well aware of how ugly the United States is in decline. In fact, he also wants to enjoy the show. After a few years, those immigrants who have been squeezed dry by the United States will What kind of mood is it.

It's a pity he didn't see it.

There should be a chance this time.

For these immigrants, Lu Yiming can only say the road he chose, and he will finish it with tears in his eyes.

Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen were eating top steaks and drinking top red wine in the corner.

On the other side, the famous actress Dazui Julie has already started to announce the start of the charity auction with a microphone.

The charity auction this time is to help treat cancer-stricken children in Africa.

It has to be said that when it comes to political correctness and public opinion, Angsa people just know how to play.Although everyone knew what was going on with this so-called charitable activity, Jolie still spoke emotionally, touchingly and moved people to tears. She is worthy of being a well-known actor from Hollywood.

At the banquet scene, many women had slightly red eyes and tears in the corners of their eyes, and that kind of compassionate atmosphere almost overflowed.

Then, their faces were captured by a camera that came out of nowhere.

Seeing this scene, Li Yiwen couldn't help complaining: "These white skins know hypocrisy. They are the ones who plunged Africa into war and poverty. How many people die in Africa every year just from starvation? But they are here to care about the people in Africa." What if a child gets cancer? Isn't it funny?"

Lu Yiming also teased in Li Yiwen's ear in a low voice: "Crocodile tears, after all, it is too difficult to be a real good person, but it is easy to pretend to be a good person. If I can earn [-] billion from Africa, I am willing to spend a few thousand Come out and help children with cancer in Africa."

Subsequently, the charity auction officially began.

I have to say, they are very good at putting on a show. Although the essence of this kind of charity auction is that everyone exchanges toys, the items that come out are indeed good things.

For example, the first auction item is an oil painting, which is said to be the work of a certain painter in the Middle Ages.

Lu Yiming glanced at it, and felt that a bucket of paint had been knocked over, and there was a mass of colorful patches, which was incomprehensible.

Seeing those rich people commenting on this painting, Lu Yiming immediately felt that he really had no artistic talent.

After fierce competition, the painting was sold for $20.

Li Yiwen shook his head slightly, and muttered, "If I had 20 dollars, what would I do wrong? Buy this crap."

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "How else can you say that you don't have artistic bacteria? It's sentimental, do you understand sentimentality?"

Next, a few more works of art were photographed, but they all belonged to a level that Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen could not understand at all.

After a while, a pink diamond necklace caught Lu Yiming's attention.

"This thing seems pretty good."

Lu Yiming has seen quite a few diamonds, but in his impression, whether it is a jewelry store or anywhere, most of them are transparent diamonds, and he has hardly seen colored diamonds, like this pure pink one. Diamonds, he had never seen before.

Li Yiwen looked up and said, "I still think it's better to buy beef."

This time Lu Yiming planned to take a photo of the pink diamond necklace and give it to Shi Qingxue.

After several rounds of intense bidding, Lu Yiming finally got his wish and won it at a price of 30 US dollars.

After the charity auction, under the recommendation of Bill Gates, Lu Yiming finally met the master of the trip to New York, Jeffrey Epstein.

Facing the yellow-haired old man in front of him, Lu Yiming felt that he didn't know where to start complaining.

But after all, on such an occasion, the first lady did not say anything, but Bill Gates made the introduction, so Lu Yiming still had to put on a show.

"Hello."

Seeing Lu Yiming, Epstein was pleasantly surprised from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Lu, I am so happy to meet you. Stories about you are still being circulated throughout Wall Street. I have wanted to meet you for a long time. .”

Epstein, who was wearing a suit, had a hospitable and enthusiastic image at this time, and it was not obvious at all that under his glamorous appearance, there was a human face and animal heart, and he did all kinds of evil.

But the irony is that a villain like him is more prosperous than many kind-hearted good people, making people feel that this world is so magical.

On an empty lawn outside the hotel, Lu Yiming quickly chatted with Epstein about shorting U.S. stocks, especially Internet-related technology stocks, the funds and channels involved, and how the whole thing will end. All need to use the human relationship network behind Epstein.

"I need you to help me solve the funding problem, and at the same time release news in the circle. Anyone who is interested in participating in this plan can join it. And I can personally guarantee that the return on shorting US stocks this time will never be less than 50.00%. "

A 50.00% profit is enough to make people desperate.

That's why Lu Yiming didn't brag about it from the very beginning. After all, things haven't been done, and no matter how much he says, it's just nonsense.

After listening to Lu Yiming's narration, Epstein was really moved. In addition to the attractive success rate of Lu Yiming's plan, Lu Yiming was also willing to invest 27 billion US dollars in it.

In his opinion, a genius like Lu Yiming would never aim for nothing.

To dare to take such a big risk and use such a huge amount of funds must be full of confidence, and the benefits are so large that people are willing to give it a go.

The two parties discussed for more than an hour before discussing all the details. In the end, Epstein expressed his willingness for Lu Yiming to solve the funding problem, and he was also willing to help Lu Yiming recruit some big names to help out.

Only then did Lu Yiming heave a sigh of relief, the most difficult part was finally done.

With the help of the big shots behind Epstein, Lu Yiming can use tiger skin as a banner. After all, big shots like dollars, and there are not many opportunities to make money like this, so they naturally want to get in the car.

And if you pull these famous figures in the North American political and business circles into your chariot, as long as the final income satisfies them, then the group of hyenas in the US Department of Justice will be nothing to fear.

On the way back, Lu Yiming once again looked at the night view of New York passing by outside the car window. The bright lights were so dazzling under the moonlight, showing the true colors of the metropolis.

But the thriving scene in front of him will soon be shaken by the bloody storm.

At that time, I don't know how many unlucky people will fall from heaven to abyss.

Every financial crisis is essentially a redistribution of social wealth, or a bloody plunder of the rich against the middle class.

This is how the decline of the United States came about. After several crises and industrial transfers, a large number of middle-class people went bankrupt and fell into abject poverty, which led to various problems, the most critical of which was taxation.

As we all know, the middle class is the main body of taxpayers. As for the rich, the tax paid by Warren Buffett is not as high as that of his secretary. It can only be said that capitalism is worthy of being the country of capitalists.

The decline of the United States has already begun to take shape at this time.

Not only did Lu Yiming not intend to stop it, but he also wanted to come over to add a fire. After all, the flames are high when everyone gathers firewood. If we don't burn the fire here, how can we see the beautiful scenery?
