A banquet with hundreds of people like the Goldberg family looks classy and classy, but it's actually not very interesting.
The social etiquette of Western aristocrats is basically a set of things that make people feel very depressed. The scene is grand, but the atmosphere is not warm. The main reason is that everyone basically only talks to the people next to them on the left and right. If there is someone in the middle, Try to avoid talking as it would appear impolite.
Li Mu did not speak to Bill Gates during the entire meal until the meal in the banquet hall was about to end.
As the host, Davidson was preparing to give his last toast and end the dinner when a panic-looking middle-aged white man stooped into the banquet hall. After this man arrived, he hunched over and ran to the two rows of guest seats. in the middle.
The appearance of this man seemed particularly sudden, and many people couldn't help but focus their attention on this uninvited guest. However, he faced the attention of the whole audience and ran up to Bill Gates, covering his mouth with his hands. She whispered into his ear for a moment.
Li Mu was sitting opposite Bill Gates. He could clearly see that Bill Gates's expression was a little angry at the man's rash appearance at first, but after hearing a few words from him, his expression immediately became serious and he subconsciously He looked at Li Mu, unable to hide the anger in his eyes.
Bill Gates was indeed very annoyed. Knowing that his MSN ecosystem was about to be released, Li Mu urgently called on the top 100 singers on YYtunes to make a big news. Hearing this, he knew that Li Mu had no good intentions.
In the Internet industry, the effective display of information in the entire industry every day is limited. Even if there are one billion Internet users and each person browses ten news items on the Internet every day, the effective display of information in the world will only be 10 billion times per day, and a truly The super hot news may capture more than half of the 10 billion times.
Any public relations and publicity team will feel weak when encountering such a super hot spot, because it is as if the other party has sucked out most of the oxygen in the air in one breath. This situation means that no matter how much money they invest, they will not be able to achieve it at all. expected effect.
Netizens are like tourists wandering around in the market. Microsoft and Makino Technology are both merchants setting up stalls in the market. If Makino Technology comes up with some gimmicks to attract most of the people in the market to its stall, Microsoft will Naturally, the potential audience for this gesture will be much smaller; if Makino Technology's gimmick is bigger, no one will watch Microsoft.
Makino Technology itself occupies huge user traffic and has excellent information delivery capabilities. If coupled with the joint efforts of 100 popular singers, it is basically certain that there will be no second hot news today.
This also means that MSN, which has been reborn from the ashes, will be in trouble before it is released!
After Bill Gates' assistant introduced the situation, he asked him anxiously: "Chairman, the project team would like to ask you, should we release it as usual or postpone it temporarily?"
"Delayed?" Bill Gates said with a cold face: "The official website has released a notice, and the media has also warned us in advance. How can we explain to the public that it is postponed at this time?"
If Microsoft chooses to delay the release at this time, it will almost be equivalent to announcing to the whole society that it is delaying to avoid the edge of Makino Technology. This will have a great impact on Microsoft's reputation and will also cause great harm to Bill Gates. It had a great impact on his own reputation.
However, Makino Technology’s momentum is so fierce. What does it mean to be among the top 100 singers in the entire YYtunes Europe and America region
This means that the one hundred most popular singers in Europe and America will support Makino Technology!
One of these top singers can support a large-scale commercial event, three of them can support a TV show with extremely high ratings, and a hundred of them can attract everyone's attention!
As far as Makino Technology is concerned, unless there is another terrorist attack on the scale of 911 today, no one will be able to steal Makino Technology’s global headlines. In this case, if Microsoft wants to force MSN to go online, then It's really a case of egg hitting stone, and you will definitely pay a heavy price.
At this moment, Li Mu, who was opposite, vaguely heard the content of what Bill Gates just said. He smiled slightly and said to Bill Gates: "Mr. Gates, don't put too much pressure. If you feel that today is not appropriate, Let’s wait for a while before releasing.”
Bill Gates knew that Li Mu was taunting and using provocative tactics. Although he couldn't keep it on his face and was very angry in his heart, he didn't dare to get in his way. Otherwise, if he drove the duck to the shelves, he would regret not taking any medicine.
So, Bill Gates pretended to be calm and smiled: "Mr. Li is right. If we are not ready today, we can postpone it for a day or two."
In one sentence, he has completely admitted his cowardice.
What Bill Gates is thinking is to simply postpone the release of MSN today and make way for Li Mu. Let Li Mu launch his product first, and then see whether this product will have a direct impact on Microsoft's new MSN ecosystem. If there is a direct impact, MSN can be rebuilt urgently; if there is no direct impact, then MSN will be launched again after the popularity of Li Mu's announcement today decreases.
Even Wendy Goldberg heard Bill Gates's sign of weakness and couldn't help but look at Bill Gates and then at Li Mu. She was amazed in her heart. Before that, she saw Bill Gates with her own eyes. Ci confidently challenged Li Mu, and saw Li Mu's counterattack step by step, but he did not expect that Li Mu could directly suppress the confident Bill Gates and make him surrender in front of so many people.
Although everyone is very gentlemanly and polite, and rarely cross seats to talk to others, many people around are paying attention to the conversation between Li Mu and Bill Gates, and they can see that Bill Gates is showing weakness to Li Mu, not just Wen. Tie Goldberg was the only one, and everyone else around him heard it clearly, and they were equally horrified in their hearts.
Li Mu looked at Bill Gates with an ugly expression at this time, smiled slightly, and said: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Gates, no matter how long you postpone it, I will wait for you."
"you… "
Li Mu's words were like a thunderbolt striking Bill Gates's head.
Bill Gates stared at the smiling oriental man in front of him, and he was so angry that he wanted to have a fight with him!
What's the meaning? Wait for yourself no matter how long you push? Isn't this a threat that can't be more straightforward
Does that mean you're targeting yourself? If I postpone the release today, then he will also postpone it and wait for me? Is there anyone more fucked up than this person who will stare at him to death
Bill Gates finally realized that he had offended a guy who definitely shouldn't be offended today!
If I had known this, why would I have provoked Li Mu in the first place? It's better not to say anything and wait until MSN is successfully launched.
Just because I couldn't bear the loneliness, I revealed my intention to Li Mu in advance. Unexpectedly, Li Mu bit me and refused to let go.
But now it's too late to regret it. Li Mu mobilized so many stars in a very short period of time. If he postponed and he also postponed, wouldn't it give him more time to prepare? Maybe tomorrow, the top 500 singers on YYtunes will stand up for him, and then MSN's situation will be even more dangerous.
Therefore, it seems that MSN must not delay the release!
Bill Gates whispered to his assistant: "Reply them immediately and publish it as usual, no extension!"
The assistant also understood at this time that although Vice President Pete called and instructed him to try his best to persuade Bill Gates to agree to an extension, Li Mu had already set his sights on Microsoft, and the extension would not have any positive effect and would instead give the other party more time. Be fully prepared, rather than doing this, it is better to go online as soon as possible.
The assistant turned around and quickly left the banquet hall. Bill Gates looked at Li Mu with an ugly expression.
At this moment, Davidson stood up with a wine glass and toasted to the dinner for the last time. Everyone stood up and raised their glasses together after Davidson said his words of thanks, and the dinner officially ended.
The guests left their seats one after another and stood in groups on both sides of the banquet hall chatting. The jazz band played music again, and the waiters came out immediately, and some of them collected all the tableware as quickly as possible. One person was clean, and the other group of people removed most of the tables and chairs, and then left a few tables and chairs around.
As usual, it is dance time next, where guests can dance freely, chat and drink freely.
Bill Gates had disappeared, and he was probably busy remotely commanding MSN to go online. As soon as Li Mu and Wendy Goldberg got up, Davidson came to the two of them and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, our salon We'll be on the second floor in half an hour. There may be many guests who want to say hello to you later. If you don't want to waste your energy, you can ask Wendy to take you upstairs first."
Before Li Mu had time to answer, a familiar face appeared in front of him.
It was Prince William, who was about the same age as Li Mu.
Prince William could see that he was a little nervous. He straightened his collar and tie several times before coming to Li Mu and said: "Hello Mr. Li, it is a great honor to meet you here. I am William Arthur Philips. Louis, you can call me William.”
Li Mu smiled slightly, shook hands with him, and said, "Hello, Prince William, it's an honor to meet you."
Prince William put one hand on the left side of his chest and said very seriously: "I have always been a loyal user of Makino Technology and a full supporter of 3321. I already admired Mr. Li when I first learned about 3321 founded by Mr. Li. I was so impressed, and I never expected that Mr. Li could develop Makino Technology to its current heights in such a short period of time, which is really admirable."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Prince William deserves the award. I am just an entrepreneur in the Internet industry."
Prince William said: "Mr. Li, just call me William. In addition, if possible, we can add each other as YY friends. I have many things to ask you."
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will ask my assistant to write down my personal YY number for you later."
As he spoke, Li Mu asked with a joking face: "William, are you the first person in the British royal family to use YY?"
"It's not..." Prince William spread his hands and said with a smile: "The first person in the royal family to use YY was my brother Harry. He took me to register YY and played a game called "Paradise" with him. Town" game, and later gradually became a loyal user of YY."
"That's it!" Li Mu smiled and nodded, then looked at William and asked him: "By the way, William, are you interested in becoming the first person in the royal family in the UK and the world to use Twitter?"
