Feng Yu sighed as he looks out of the window. Flowers are placed on both sides of the street, and in some places, there are even primary school students holding bouquets of flowers by the roadside. They are practicing the "Welcome, Welcome, Warm Welcome."
Bill Gates is only a businessman and not a politician. At most, he represents Microsoft and not the whole country. Why is there a need to treat him with such respect?
Also, why are primary school students lining the streets to welcome foreign guests? Damn! How can the flowers of China do such things?
"Boss, are we going to take a detour?"
"No. Let's wait here. We can go home after they pass by. What's wrong? You can't wait to accompany your wife? "Feng Yu joked.
"Boss, stop joking with me. Lili is pregnant, and the results were just announced yesterday. Her parents will be coming over to take care of her in a few days, and I want to spend more time with her. "Mei Zhigao's face turned red.
"Oh? You are only married for 6 months, and your wife is pregnant. Are you happy or depressed? "Feng Yu purposely asked. The novelty of being married is not over yet, and his wife is pregnant. I can't touch her anymore. Tsk tsk …
"Boss, can we stop joking?"
"Hahaha. Send me home later, and I will give you a week off. Let Xiao Su drive these two days, and you can perform well in front of your in-laws. "
"Thank you, Boss." Mei Zhigao smiled.
Feng Yu does not have much work and is only a driver in Beijing. Feng Yu is not in Beijing most of the time, and Feng Yu has the most free time among his colleagues. Also, Feng Yu is not like other bosses who always have programs at night. Feng Yu never stays outside until 11 pm, and he never feels tired.
He is very satisfied with his life working for General Manager Feng. Feng Yu's former comrades are now working with some big bosses or property managers. Everyone's lives had improved, and they are grateful to Feng Yu.
… …
"Mr. Wei, nice to meet you."
Manager Wei shook hands with Bill Gates and invited him to his car.
"You Chinese people are really passionate. So many people are welcoming me. And I didn't expect your traffic to be so good. "
The corners of Boss Wei's mouth twitched. He smiled but didn't say anything. The banners welcoming you were hung by the government. The people who welcomed him were also arranged by the government. As for the smooth traffic, it was also arranged by the government.
Originally, Bill Gates was just casually sighing, but in Manager Wei's ears, it sounded a little sarcastic. He secretly decided that in the future, he would tell his subordinates not to hold these welcoming ceremonies, not to hang banners, and not to engage in such formality.
"Mr. Wei, actually, if it wasn't for the delay, I would have come last year. Hua Xia is a country that I like very much. I am very happy to contribute taxes to the economic development of Hua Xia. "
Compared to the taxes in the US, Hua Xia's taxes were not considered high. The tax system in the US was more stringent than Hua Xia's. State taxes and national taxes were much higher than Hua Xia's. He was planning to "donate" his assets to the charity foundation set up by him and his wife. This way, not only would he be able to save a lot of taxes, but when his son inherits his assets in the future, he would also be able to save a huge amount of taxes.
What if his son does not have enough money to spend? It was very simple. When his son was 18 years old, he could use legal means to transfer his assets to his son. For example, he could set up a company to do business with his son. There were too many ways.
When he was old, his son would at least be a billion-dollar tycoon. Also, his son would inherit the authority of his charity foundation and ensure that his family would be able to continue smoothly.
Manager Wei smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Gates, for your contributions to Hua Xia."
In his heart, he was laughing. Contributing taxes to the economic development of Hua Xia? That sounded so nice. Isn't your taxes just a small portion of the money that Hua Xia earns?
Just like what Feng Yu said, if you can't earn money, or even a lot of money, will you come?
Taxation is an obligation. It's the same in every country. Don't tell me that the US doesn't have to pay taxes? You are making it sound like you have contributed a lot to the US!
Bill Gates did not notice Manager Wei's perfunctory reply. Manager Wei's translator was sitting in front and translating for them, and it was troublesome. That's why they did not speak much until they arrived.
"Mr. Gates, you had come to Hua Xia to make a large investment. May I know what project you are going to invest in?" Manager Wei asked.
If it wasn't for Bill Gates wanting to invest a large sum of money, Manager Wei would not be here to welcome him. Feng Yu only hopes that Bill Gates's investment will attract more businessmen to invest in Hua Xia. This will help Hua Xia's economy to develop faster.
When the US economy was developing fast, it was because of the high volume of foreign investments.
"Microsoft is the world's leading software company, and we will invest in software. We already have a branch in Hua Xia, and there are two ways for us to expand our branch. One is to acquire or merge some companies, and the other is to invest in some companies. Regardless of which method we are going to invest, the amount will not be less than 1 billion USD! "
If not for Feng Yu's reminder, Manager Wei would be overjoyed. An investment of one billion USD was a huge investment.
But Feng Yu had reminded him that Bill Gates must be trying to take over Hua Xia's software market and stop Hua Xia's software development. Seems like Feng Yu was right. This is what Bill Gates is thinking.
"May I know if Mr. Gates has any companies in mind?" Manager Wei asked calmly.
"We had been looking at some internet companies, software companies, telecommunication companies, etc., like Baidu, Tencent, Sohu, Lenovo Kingsoft, Jiangxing Software, etc. We are planning to acquire or merge these companies, and the price will be higher than the market price."
Manager Wei knew the companies mentioned by Bill Gates were the same as what Feng Yu had told him. These are the leading companies in Hua Xia's IT industry.
Hua Xia had made the IT industry the most important part of this five-year plan, and the relevant policies are very supportive. Those western capitalists are trying to take over this industry and stop us from developing.
This group of barbarians should be put to death!
"Mr. Gates, the companies you mentioned are all private companies or joint ventures. I can introduce you to them, but I am not in a position to interfere."
"Mr. Wei, we had looked into Lenovo Kingsoft. Hua Xia's government had invested in Lenovo Kingsoft. Why don't we invest 1 billion USD in exchange for 51% of the company's shares? This is already a premium, and we can also help Hua Xia to train more IT talents. Our engineers are the best in the world. "
Manager Wei was sneering in his heart. Feng Yu was right. Bill Gates wants to take over Lenovo Kingsoft. 1 billion USD and he wants to be the controlling shareholder? Feng Yu had told him that Lenovo Kingsoft will be worth more than 100 billion USD in less than 5 years after it got listed!
This shows that Bill Gates wants to take advantage of Lenovo Kingsoft.
Our Hua Xia had been taken advantage of by you Americans many times. Those are all in the past, and you want to take advantage of us now?
"Mr. Gates, you can settle this yourself. The government cannot interfere with the development of a company. It is the same in the US."
