Resource Tycoon Reborn

Entering Bill for the first time, a mansion that Fang Mingyuan had long been famous for in his previous life, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel that the reputation was well-deserved. As soon as he stepped into the house, the melody of "Men Should Be Strong" rang out in the house.

"This is the most famous song you've ever written that I know of!" Bill laughed, "It's a pity that you didn't sing it yourself."

Fang Mingyuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "That's because my singing is so ugly that even wolves will be scared away." Over the years, he has also created some songs, but most of them are from his heart and done casually, so he

He is far less well-known in Hong Kong's singing industry than in the film industry. For this reason, Mr. Huang often scolded him for wasting his musical talent. Unexpectedly, Bill even knew that he created this song.

Bill smiled and led them through the hall to the living room.

"Wow! It's really beautiful!" Lin Rong exclaimed. Standing at the entrance of the living room, you can see the game pool outside and Lake Washington in the distance at a glance, just like a wonderful picture.

, once you take one look at it, you will never be able to look away.

"Bill, it's indeed what you spent so much time and money to build!" Fang Mingyuan had seen pictures in his previous life, so the beautiful scenery in front of him naturally didn't have as big an impact on him as Lin Rong did. He was looking more at the living room.

The whale shark in the aquarium. Putting a rockery and making a small fountain in the living room is the taste of entrepreneurs who have just become rich. Placing a large fish tank in the living room is a pastime of the middle class.

Using an aquarium as a background requires strong financial support. Especially the aquarium in Bill's living room. The dolphins and fish in it are just okay, but the whale shark is an endangered protected animal, and

It is the largest fish in the world. It can generally grow to twelve or thirteen meters long and weigh close to fourteen tons! Raising a whale shark is no different than raising tropical fish. It is not only a question of eating more, but also all aspects of the problem must be taken into consideration. Fang Mingyuan

It is estimated that an entire scientific research team is responsible for this aspect of the aquarium. The cost involved is difficult to estimate.

"Are you interested? If you like it, I can contact you and build the same aquarium for you in any country in the world where you want." Bill said with a genuine smile, which made Fang Mingyuan interested, and he too

There is quite a sense of pride - Fang Mingyuan is naturally much younger than them, but he always appears to be particularly mature. No matter what happens, he has a composure far beyond that of his peers.

"Thank you, no need!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. If he built such a private aquarium in China, it would definitely be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people. But if it were built abroad, such as Japan and the United States, he would spend a year

I can't stay for long, I don't have a long-term preference for this kind of thing.

Bill shrugged and continued to show the two of them around. There is a spacious reception hall that can host a cocktail party for about two hundred people. And VIPs with higher status can go to another banquet hall that can accommodate twenty-four people.

Accept the hospitality of the host and overlook the breathtaking lake and mountain scenery from the third floor.

For guests who like to watch movies, there is an "Art Deco" style cinema with projection equipment that is no less than that of a screening room in a Hollywood studio, allowing guests to enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbusters. There is also Bill's private library here.

, the museum houses some precious manuscripts collected by Gates, which are of inestimable value. There is also a vast gym with all kinds of exercise facilities!

"Fang, you don't need to stay in a hotel tonight. I have enough guest rooms here. Besides, it's rare for you to come here. I plan to hold a small dinner in the evening and invite Steve and the main staff of the company.

It's a pity that Paul is not in the country now." Bill said.

"Thank you. This is your home court. Of course I am a guest and host as you please!" Fang Mingyuan was not polite and nodded in agreement.

"Bill, where are your wife and children?" After walking around, Fang Mingyuan asked with some surprise. He did not see other members of Bill's family here.

"Melinda took her children to visit my parents. It's rare for her to have a day off." Bill smiled, "And, this way, we have more freedom."

"Hey, by the way, I almost forgot!" Fang Mingyuan asked for the checkbook from Lin Rong, wrote a check for US$500 million, put it in Bill's hand and said, "This is my donation to your foundation.

, there are no conditions, I just hope that the foundation will not forget that China has the largest number of poor people in the world, and they also need someone to pay attention."

In April of the same year, Bill merged the two charitable foundations he had created into a new foundation named after their husband and wife. This foundation will become the world's largest charitable foundation in the future. Bill will

His huge wealth, which is the envy of the world, will gradually be transferred to the name of the foundation, and in the future, another American legend, Buffett, will also inject extremely considerable funds into this charitable foundation.

The foundation will be committed to closing the gap in health care between rich and poor countries, ensuring that life-saving technological advances in health care are made and provided to those who need it most. And in the United States and developing countries

The citizens of the country provide help so that they can better use book resources to change their lives. Of course, there are other aspects, but this is not what Fan Mingyuan is concerned about.

Bill accepted it without politeness. Although US$500 million was an extremely considerable amount, for him and Fang Mingyuan, it was only a few tenths of their personal property. "For us, humans only need help."

The difference between not needing help and the country or the doctrine you believe in has nothing to do with it. If your government allows it, we will set up an office in your country and help people in need in your country. I think you can do this.

Help us."

"I'll do my best! But don't think too highly of me." Fang Mingyuan said with a wry smile in his heart. If he could easily do charity activities in China, why would he set up a charity foundation in Hong Kong, let alone ask Bill's foundation?

Donation is because it is difficult to break down the barriers to domestic philanthropy. In order to prevent these donations from becoming money in the pockets of officials or the buildings and luxury cars under their buttocks, he has no choice but to do it. Those gluttonous people in China,

You can also be more cautious.

"..." Bill looked at Fang Mingyuan for a long time, shook his head, and said nothing more.

The two sat in the living room, facing the aquarium, watching the whale shark swimming slowly inside. It must be said that this was also a visual enjoyment. After all, this is the largest fish in the world, Fang Mingyuan

I only learned about it from TV and the Internet, rather than like now, not far away from my eyes, separated by a glass wall, as if I could reach out and touch it.

"The personality of whale sharks is quite gentle, and they will even play with divers. Today is not a research time, otherwise you can see the interaction between divers and whale sharks, which is very interesting." Bill said with a bit of showoff, "In order to take care of

It, I have prepared a scientific research team of twelve people."

"I remember that whale sharks should be on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species. How did you get it?" Fang Mingyuan said, "You can't just throw money at it, right?"

"Purchase it with money?" Bill was stunned for a moment, savored it for a moment, then laughed and said, "You put it this way vividly! It did cost a lot of money!"

It turns out that although whale sharks are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species, in areas and countries with frequent whale shark activities, the Philippines only banned all commercial hunting, trafficking, importing and exporting of whale sharks in 1998.

While India has promised to ban the export of whale sharks by 2003, the hunting and trafficking of whale sharks will be banned globally by 2008. Moreover, although this aquarium is owned by Bill, it is also

American research institutions are allowed to study the habits of whale sharks. Therefore, apart from the large amount of money required to obtain a whale shark, there are actually not many obstacles in the way.

"And, you know, my little Shasha is a female whale shark, and scientific researchers believe that she was fertilized before being captured, which means that she will continue to give birth to baby whale sharks for a long time in the future, and

In an artificial environment, I believe these baby whale sharks can grow up healthily, which can be considered as a contribution to the increasingly rare whale shark group." Bill said with a smile.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan was confused. Can a female whale shark give birth to baby sharks for many years after just one fertilization?

"Well, that's it!" Bill gave an affirmative answer to Fang Mingyuan's question.

Fang Mingyuan rested his elbows on the armrests of the sofa, looking at the whale shark swimming leisurely in front of him, seemingly lost in thought. Bill looked at him funny, someone who could still be distracted while talking to him

But there really aren’t many left.

After a long while, Fang Mingyuan raised his head and said, "Bill, leave me your contact information later. Maybe I will need to build such an aquarium in the future."

"Huh?" Bill looked at him slightly surprised, why did this person change his mind again.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "It's not built for me. You have also been to Tongyi. It is a small inland town. The children there, haha, to be precise, more than 99% of the people have never actually been there.

The seaside, not to mention these fishes in the sea. Tongyi will definitely build its own zoo in the future. I want to donate a large aquarium to them by then, so that even if they can't go to the seaside, they can see it with their own eyes.

What are the fishes in the sea like? It’s not a bad thing for children or adults to broaden their horizons!”

Fang Mingyuan also suddenly thought of it. As a sub-provincial city with a population of hundreds of thousands, Tongyi does not yet have a zoo. If children want to go to a zoo, they can only go to Fengyuan. And the zoo in Fengyuan

, to be honest, it is not only small in scale, but also aging, and cannot fully meet the needs of tourists. The aquarium is still a rarity in China, and only a handful of coastal cities have it.

Not to mention the inland areas. Even many years after China's GDP reached the second place in the world, things like aquariums are still a rarity that can only be found in some first-tier cities.

Fang Mingyuan also suddenly thought of the later Beijing Aquarium. It was undoubtedly a paradise for children. They would never have to worry about lack of tourists, so if they wanted to see it with group purchase tickets, it would be a fool's errand!

Although the cost of building a large-scale aquarium in the inland northwest region will be an astonishing amount, both in terms of suggested costs and maintenance costs, Fang Mingyuan feels that it can satisfy those in their teens or even their twenties and thirties who have not yet Young people who have seen the sea with their own eyes can see marine life in the aquarium that they could only see on TV and the Internet. It broadens their horizons and is worth it even if it costs more. Moreover, the aquarium also You can cooperate with scientific research institutions, so that it will be less painful if you share it.

Bill did not expect that Fang Mingyuan would give him such an answer. After a while, he said: "No problem!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
