Giant of the times

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

Li Zetian smiled slightly and said: "I am Chronos Li. Welcome everyone to attend this charity gala. The purpose of this charity gala is to raise funds for orphans. I hope everyone can donate their love. L.Y Foundation The staff are all here, and they will count the funds donated 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 10 billion US dollars to the L.Y Foundation!! !”

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

Everyone was immediately shocked. The party was such a sensation at the beginning. They donated 10 billion US dollars in one donation. Is it such an exaggeration? It is simply too scary. Chronos·Li, you are too rich, don’t you want this! !

Many people were stunned and never recovered from the reaction.

10 billion U.S. dollars, an astronomical sum of money, was donated just like that. Such a big courage?

At this moment, the audience was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

However, to Li Zetian, a mere US$10 billion is nothing. The Umbrella Company earned US$1.5 trillion from the collapse of the Soviet Union last year alone. This money was used by Li Zetian for investment. Even if the return on investment is only 10%, the annual Profits have also exceeded 100 billion US dollars. In addition, the dividends of companies under Li Zetian's name are also increasing. In 1992, the umbrella company received dividends of US$25 billion!

So, $10 billion is nothing.

Li Zetian is also sincerely doing charity now. As the saying goes, "If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world." Li Zetian's ideological awareness is very high!

However, for others, 10 billion US dollars is an unimaginable wealth that cannot be earned in a lifetime or even several lifetimes, but it was donated by Li Zetian so lightly. How could this not shock them?

Of course, others present had no idea how much wealth Li Zetian had now.

In their guess, Li Zetian's net worth should be hundreds of billions of dollars, but most of those are company shares. The company's shares cannot be sold accurately. Once the company collapses, the shares will be worthless.

"Chronos Li, do you really want to donate 10 billion US dollars?!" an old man in his sixties in the audience couldn't help but asked with excitement and shock in his heart.

"Of course. What I said will definitely count!" Li Zetian smiled lightly.

"You are such a good person!!" the old man praised. He also does charity, but he does not have the courage like Li Zetian to donate a large part of his worth. Therefore, he expressed his sincere admiration.

Many people looked at Li Zetian with envy, jealousy, hatred, and even ridicule and sarcasm. They said to themselves, "It's so important to have money. Although you are rich, your brain is not good. Donating so much is really funny!"

Little did he know that to Li Zetian, that money was just a drop in the bucket!

Money is nothing but numbers.

So what if 1.5 trillion US dollars is spent? In a few years from 1997, when the Southeast Asian financial crisis comes, Li Zetian will be able to make another fortune. Vietnam, Thailand, RB, South Korea, Indonesia, etc. will come over, and they will have to do it. No need to scrape off a layer of skin!

Indonesia, in particular, actually excludes Chinese people and kills people indiscriminately. Li Zetian is a Chinese. Can he continue to watch this? We will not give up until we kill Indonesia economically!

Li Zetian ignored everyone's surprise, and then said very humbly: "When doing charity, do what you can. You don't have to imitate me!" After saying that, he looked at Yu Jingqiu, as if to say, dear, how am I doing? , donated 10 billion US dollars, is that okay? !

Yu Jingqiu blinked at him, her beautiful eyes conveying her approval.

A fat real estate super-rich man in the audience said very proudly: "Chronos Li donated 10 billion U.S. dollars. Although my wealth is far less than his, I am still willing to donate 100 million U.S. dollars!!!"

After saying that, he glanced around proudly.

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

Everyone was shocked and looked at the rich man.

Some people feel shameless. Maybe this guy was stimulated by Chronos Li and his vanity increased greatly. He wanted to show off in front of everyone, so he donated 100 million US dollars!

Bang bang bang!

Li Zetian applauded: "Well, thank you very much for your help with charity. I thank you on behalf of the millions of L.Y orphans!"

The super rich man's face was slightly red, he waved his hands and said grandly: "Nothing, as a rich man, this is how it should be. Wealth comes from the people and is 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 said with a smile, "I heard that you are in the real estate business. I also have a company under my name that is also in the real estate business. Everyone has It’s time to sit down and talk together.”

“It would be an honor to sit down with you and talk business!!!”

The real estate tycoon was immediately pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he had donated 100 million US dollars and gained the favor of Chronos Li. He would be able to do business with him in the future. Hahaha, it was so profitable! ! !

Others were shocked, what's going on, after donating money, I can cooperate with Chronos Li, why don't I donate money immediately? ! !

Suddenly, the audience became noisy, and a group of people rushed to donate money.

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

When Yu Jingtian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Every time she raises funds from outside, it is not easy. People who donate 100 million US dollars are simply rare. Usually after a fundraising event, the funds raised by the L.Y Foundation are less than 100 million US dollars, sometimes even less than 10 million US dollars. Dollar. Even though there are so many people in this world who are truly willing to do charity! !

As for herself, she started doing charity for utilitarian purposes, as it could help the company reduce taxes and gain a good reputation. But after experiencing too much and seeing the pitiful appearance of too many orphans, Yu Jingqiu's heart gradually changed, and she became a true charity person.

Li Zetian was influenced by Jingqiu and became keen on doing real charity.

At this moment, Yu Jingqiu looked at the people in the audience and couldn't help but want to laugh. I went to invite these people to a charity party. Although they would donate money, they were very reluctant. Now they are rushing to donate money, and they are competing to see who can donate more, for fear that if they donate less, Li Zetian will not notice.

In less than an hour, the L.Y Foundation raised nearly US$11.1 billion, of which US$10 billion was donated by Li Zetian.

In other words, nearly $1.1 billion was donated by others present.

The amount raised alone is US$1.1 billion, which is unprecedented! Not to mention US$11.1 billion! !

People at night were secretly frightened!

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

"Haha, this charity gala is destined to shock the whole world!" a reporter said with a blushing face.

Another reporter said: "This is the craziest charity party I have ever encountered!"

"Haha, Chronos Li is so awesome. He is really rich. He donated 10 billion US dollars in one go. His power is terrifying!"

"With US$10 billion, you can enter the top five richest people in the world."

"This is not 10,000 or 20,000, but 10 billion. I wish I had so much fucking money!"

"One in a thousand, no, one in ten thousand, as long as one in ten thousand, I will be satisfied! When I become a millionaire, I will have a house, a car, and a beautiful woman!"

"Hey, don't be envious, everyone. Go back and code. It's important to write a press release!"

"..."

…

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

"Chronos, you are so cunning. Whoever donates more, you will take care of his business!" Bill Gates took a sip of red wine, looked at Li Zetian and smiled.

"In business, cooperation with anyone is not cooperation. People who donate a lot of money, it doesn't matter if they take care of their business a little." After a pause, a smile appeared on Li Zetian's lips, and then said, "Haha, through this incident, It will be much easier for the L.Y Foundation to raise funds next time.”

Buffett smiled and said: "Haha, as expected of Mr. Li, he is really smart!"

"Haha, it's just driven by interests!" Li Zetian said modestly.

Yu Jingqiu said nothing, holding her chin with her left hand, looking at Li Zetian quietly with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a hint of admiration in her tenderness.

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

"Of course it's what we agreed on before. Didn't you say that you want me to find a good project and that we all invest together? I thought about it for a while, and it really made me think of a good project!" Li Zetian said with a smile.

Buffett said before that he would ask Li Zetian to find good projects for them, which was quite a joke.

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

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

Who is Li Zetian? He is recognized as an investment genius. He is as rich as anyone in the country. None of the projects or companies he invested in failed. He is simply a legend!

Bill Gates's eyes lit up. He knew Li Zetian far better than Buffett knew Li Zetian. Li Zetian is not an ordinary genius, but a super genius. He designed Word, Excel, ppt, Hotmail, etc. Li Zetian played an absolute role in Microsoft's success.

"Chronos, what kind of good project is it?" Bill Gates couldn't help but ask.

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

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

"hehe,"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Now that the Internet era is here, haven't you ever thought about moving tourism projects to the Internet?"

Buffett seemed not to be interested in technology companies. Hearing this, he frowned slightly.

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

Yu Jingqiu's beautiful eyes were smiling, and she 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 bad?"

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

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

"Mr. Li, I want to hear your detailed plan before making a decision." Buffett said solemnly. 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 it. Buffett's investment philosophy is incompatible with Internet companies. In his previous life, the Internet was so popular that he resisted not investing.

"Okay, let me explain it carefully."

Li Zetian pondered for a while, going 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 lot of information about travel purposes. Information about destinations, including flights, hotels, attractions, restaurants, etc. Netizens can log in to the website to browse attractions, book air tickets, hotels, etc..."

Although Li Zetian didn't say much, he was concise and concise. As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jingqiu, Bill Gates and Buffett were all shocked!

In fact, Bill Gates also had an idea in mind, but compared with what Li Zetian said, it immediately pales in comparison.

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

Buffett was stunned for a moment. As he gets older, he is more stable and thinks more. 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 this, he couldn't help but take another look at Buffett.

"Haha, Mr. Buffett saw the essence of the problem immediately! Yes, travel websites are indeed easier said than done!" Li Zetian said, "In the final analysis, a travel website is just an intermediary company. It has to collect so much information and also needs It is indeed not easy to get so many companies to be willing to cooperate with it! However, the development potential of travel websites cannot be denied. Once a travel website is successful, it will change the future travel market and promote the development of tourism!! In reality, many people want to travel , but it was just an idea and was not put into action. But they saw the travel website and saw many beautiful attractions, and maybe they can make a business!"

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

Buffett mused.

Bill Gates had 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 around, success is possible Great sex.

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

Li Zetian smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

The Buffett and Bill Gates families have great influence in the United States. It is very cost-effective for Li Zetian to attract them with a travel website company, and with their help, the travel website can develop more smoothly. In addition, Bill Gates’ daughter is only a few years younger than William. In his previous life, Li Zetian had seen photos of Bill Gates' daughter growing up. She was very beautiful and had a good tutor. In this life, his daughter may not be bad, and maybe she will become his daughter-in-law in the future... Marriage and other things are very common among big families.
