When everyone saw Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu on stage, they would all smile.
Li Zetian smiled slightly and said, "I'm Chronos Li, welcome everyone to this charity gala. The purpose of this charity gala is to raise funds for orphans, and I hope everyone can give their love. LY Foundation Our staff are all here, and they will count the donations one by one. As one of the initiators of this charity gala, I will be the first to set an example! I will donate 10 billion US dollars to the LY Foundation on behalf of the Umbrella Company!! !"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone was shocked immediately. The party was such a sensation at the beginning, and the donation of 10 billion US dollars was so exaggerated. It's too scary. Chronos Li, you are too rich, do you want to do this! !
Many people were stunned, and the response did not return to their senses.
10 billion US dollars, an astronomical amount of money, was donated like this, such a big boldness
At this moment, the audience was so quiet that you could almost hear a needle falling to the ground.
However, for Li Zetian, what is a mere $10 billion? The Umbrella Company earned $1.5 trillion last year from the collapse of the Soviet Union alone, and this money was used by Li Zetian for investment, even if it was only a 10% return on investment. Profits have also exceeded $100 billion. In addition, the dividends of companies under Li Zetian's name are also increasing. In 1992, the Umbrella Company received $25 billion in dividends!
So, $10 billion is nothing.
Li Zetian is also doing charity with sincerity now. As the saying goes, "If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are successful, you will help the world." Li Zetian's ideological awareness is very high!
However, for others, 10 billion US dollars is an unimaginable wealth, which can not be earned in a lifetime, or even several lifetimes, but it was donated by Li Zetian so lightly. How can it not shock them
Of course, the others present had no idea how much wealth Li Zetian had now.
In their guess, Li Zetian should be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but most of those are company shares. The company's shares cannot be made accurately. Once the company collapses, the shares are worthless.
"Chronos Li, do you really want to donate 10 billion US dollars?!" An old man in sixty-sixes in the audience couldn't help being excited and shocked, and asked.
"Of course. What I say will naturally count!" Li Zetian smiled lightly.
"You are such a good person!!" The old man praised him. He also did charity work himself, but he didn't have the courage of Li Zetian to donate a large part of his worth. Therefore, he sincerely admired it.
Many people looked at Li Zetian with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes, and even ridicule and sarcasm. They said in their hearts, what if you have money? Although you have money, your brain is not good. Donating so much is really funny!
But I don't know that the money is just a drop in the bucket for Li Zetian!
Money is nothing but numbers.
Even if the 1.5 trillion US dollars was spent, it was not a few years before 1997, when the Southeast Asian financial crisis came, Li Zetian could salvage a fortune again. What Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, etc. came over, they had to be let on by them. Don't shave off a layer of skin!
Especially in Indonesia, it actually rejects the Chinese and kills them indiscriminately. Li Zetian is a Chinese. Can he watch it with his eyes? We will never give up if we do not kill Indonesia economically!
Li Zetian ignored everyone's surprise, and then said very humbly: "Do what you can to do charity, you don't have to follow me!" After speaking, he looked at Yu Jingqiu, as if to say, dear, how am I doing? , donated $10 billion, okay? !
Yu Jingqiu winked at him, her beautiful eyes flirting, expressing her affirmation.
A potbellied real estate super-rich said very proudly at this time: "Chronos Li donated 10 billion US dollars. Although my wealth is far less than his, I am willing to donate 100 million US dollars!!!"
After speaking, his eyes swept around proudly.
One hundred million dollars is a huge amount of money!
Everyone was shocked, and their eyes turned to this rich man.
Some people have no shame in their hearts. This product was stimulated by Chronos Li, and their vanity increased greatly. They wanted to show it in front of everyone, so they donated 100 million US dollars!
clap clap clap!
Li Zetian applauded: "Well, thank you very much for your help in charity, I thank you for the millions of LY orphans!"
The super rich blushed slightly, waved his hand, and said loudly: "It's nothing, as a rich man, it should be like this. Wealth is obtained from the people, and used for the people!"
"Good people have good rewards. 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 there is a company under my name that is also in the real estate business. Time to sit down and talk."
"It's my pleasure to sit down with you and talk business!!!"
The real estate tycoon was extremely pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he donated 100 million US dollars, and he actually won the favor of Chronos Li, and he will be able to do business with him in the future. Hahaha, it's so profitable! ! !
Others were shocked, what's the situation? After donating money, I can cooperate with Chronos Li, why don't I donate money quickly? ! !
For a while, the audience was noisy, and a group of people scrambled to donate money.
Li Zetian smiled lightly, "It seems that everyone is very keen on charity, and they are all rushing to donate money, and the amount is quite large!"
When Yu Jingtian heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he tried hard to hold back, not letting himself laugh.
Every time she raises funds externally, it is not easy. People who donate 100 million US dollars are very rare. Usually after a fundraising event, the funds raised by the LY Foundation are less than 100 million US dollars, sometimes even less than 10 million. Dollar. There are even so many people in this world who are truly willing to do charity! !
Let's just say that she herself started doing charity with a utilitarian purpose, allowing the company to reduce taxes and gain a good reputation. But after going through too much and seeing the pitiful appearance of too many orphans, Yu Jingqiu's heart gradually changed, and she became a real charitable person.
Influenced by Jingqiu, Li Zetian became fascinated by his eyes and ears, and began to be keen on doing real charity.
At this moment, Yu Jingqiu looked at everyone in the audience and couldn't help but want to laugh. I went to invite these people to participate in the charity party. Although they would donate money, they were very reluctant. Now they are rushing to donate money, and they donated more than anyone else. For fear that they would donate less, Li Zetian would not notice.
In less than an hour, the LY Foundation raised nearly $11.1 billion, of which $10 billion was donated by Li Zetian.
In other words, nearly $1.1 billion was donated by others present.
The $1.1 billion raised alone is unprecedented! Not to mention $11.1 billion! !
The people at night were secretly frightened!
The faces of the major media reporters were all excited, and the news headlines were already there.
"Haha, this charity gala is destined to shock the world!" a reporter said with a flushed face.
Another reporter said: "This is the craziest charity gala I've ever seen!"
"Haha, Chronos Li is awesome, he really has a lot of money, he donated 10 billion US dollars all at once, his strength is terrifying!"
"$10 billion can make it into the top five richest people in the world."
"This is not 10,000, 20,000, but 10 billion, if only I had so much money!"
"One in a thousand, no, one in ten thousand, as long as one in ten thousand, I am already satisfied! When I become a millionaire, I will have a house, a car, and a beautiful woman!"
"Oh, don't be envious of everyone, hurry back to code, and write a press release!"
"… "
…
After the party, Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, Bill Gates and Buffett stayed in a box of the hotel.
"Chronos, you are really cunning. Whoever donates more, you will take care of his business!" Bill Gates took a sip of red wine and smiled at Li Zetian.
"It's 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 Li Zetian's mouth, and then he said, "Haha, 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, he's really smart!"
"Haha, it's just for profit!" Li Zetian said modestly.
Yu Jingqiu didn't speak, rested his chin with his left hand, and looked at Li Zetian quietly with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a hint of admiration in his tenderness.
Bill Gates said, "Oh, by the way, Chronos, what did you call us for?"
"Naturally, it's something you said before. Didn't you say that you want me to find a good project and invest together. I thought about it for a while, and it really reminded me of a good project!" Li Zetian laughed.
Buffett said before that he would ask Li Zetian to find a good project for them, which was a joke.
With Li Zetian's financial resources, if there is a good project, there is absolutely 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 kindness. He was very curious about what project Li Zetian was talking about. If he could, he would naturally be willing to invest.
Who is Li Zetian? He is a recognized investment genius. He is rich enough to rival the country. None of the projects or companies he invested in failed. He is simply a legend!
Bill Gates' eyes lit up, his understanding of Li Zetian far exceeded Buffett's understanding of Li Zetian. Li Zetian is not an ordinary genius, but a super genius. Word, Excel, ppt, Hotmail, etc. are all designed by him. Li Zetian has played an absolute role in Microsoft's achievements.
"Chronos, what is a good project?" Bill Gates couldn't help asking.
Li Zetian smiled lightly, 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
"Ha ha,"
Li Zetian smiled, "Now that the Internet era has come, haven't you thought about moving tourism projects to the Internet?"
Buffett doesn't seem to be interested in technology companies. Hearing this, he frowned slightly.
Bill Gates suddenly realized, as if a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and his excitement was inexplicable.
Yu Jingqiu has a beautiful smile and is 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 don't dare to invest rashly."
Li Zetian smiled and said: "That's right, technology companies are ups and downs, not as stable as traditional companies. Many technology companies in Silicon Valley were guests of venture capital companies the day before, and they may close down the next day, and they will be disliked!"
"Mr. Li, I would like to hear your detailed plan before making a decision." Buffett said solemnly, because of his trust in Li Zetian, he said this. If others persuaded him to invest in Internet companies, they would definitely listen to them. don't want to hear. Buffett's investment philosophy is incompatible with Internet companies. The Internet in his previous life was so popular, he just couldn't resist 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, which has a lot of information about travel purposes. Information about places, including airplane flights, hotels, attractions, 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 while. He was old so he was more stable and thought a lot. After a while, he said, "Mr. Li, this project sounds pretty good, but I'm afraid it's easier said than done!"
Hearing this, Li Zetian couldn't help but glance at Buffett.
"Hehe, Mr. Buffett sees the essence when he looks at the problem! That's right, travel websites are easier said than done!" Li Zetian said, "After all, travel websites are just an intermediary company, it needs to collect so much information and also It is not easy to get so many companies willing to cooperate with it! However, the development potential of travel websites cannot be denied. Once the travel websites are successful, it will change the future travel market and promote the development of tourism!! In reality, many people want to travel , but it's just an idea, and it hasn't been put into action. But they see travel websites, see a lot of beautiful attractions, and maybe they can lead to a single business!"
After a pause, Li Zetian said something very philosophical: "If you don't go to the store, there will be no transaction!"
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, success is possible Sex is great.
Seeing that Bill Gates agreed, and the project was proposed by Li Zetian, Buffett 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, and Li Zetian used a travel website company to win over them, which is very cost-effective. In addition, Bill Gates' daughter is about the same age as William. Li Zetian has seen photos of her growing up in a previous life. She is very beautiful and has a good family education. Maybe she will become his daughter-in-law in the future... Marriage or something is very common among large families. what.
