No matter what Steve asked, Feng Yu will bring up the topic again. Other than Lenovo and Wind and rain, Feng Yu did not mention anything else. Most of Feng Yu's answers were ambiguous, and Steve was speechless.
Although Steve said this was not an interview, he wanted to treat it as one. Forbes magazine had never asked for others' opinions when they announce other people's assets, and everyone was proud of it. Some people even felt it was an insult to report their assets too low.
But Feng Yu made Steve suffer. Steve had never seen a tycoon who does not want to be famous. Could it be that Feng Yu is like the Rothschild family? Showing others only what they know on the surface, and no one can guess their real assets?
Bill Gates also did not get a satisfactory answer. But Feng Yu had praised Microsoft a few times, and Bill Gates was in a good mood. Even though Bill Gates was the World's Richest Man, he still cares about what others say. Every time someone praises Microsoft, Bill Gates will feel proud.
Bill Gates wanted to ask Feng Yu if the rumors about Feng Yu were true. For example, Feng Yu was a machinery manufacturing tycoon, a food tycoon, a retail tycoon, etc.
But Bill Gates did not ask Feng Yu. He was not Steve, and if he asked these questions, Feng Yu will know that he was asking about Feng Yu, and it will be disrespectful. Anyway, Feng Yu will not be able to hide this for the rest of his life.
When Steve left, his face was gloomy. Among all the tycoons he had talked to, this was the most difficult person to get in touch with, and also the most difficult to see through.
Feng Yu was only in his early twenties, but he gave Steve the feeling that he was very experienced. Feng Yu's words were flawless, and he could always change the topic. Also, he always had a smile on his face, which made Steve mad.
Feng Yu was a financial broker in his previous life, and he knew how to use his words to confuse people. If not, why would his clients pass their money to him? How can the clients accept their losses?
Although Steve was smart, no one can get information out of Feng Yu if he does not want to talk.
Steve looked at the notebook in front of him. What should he do? There were so many questions, but there were no answers. Furthermore, many of the questions were linked to one answer by Feng Yu. How was he going to write a draft?
Should he write that Feng Yu invested in humidifiers and bladeless fans, then VCD players, and finally PCs and Microsoft? Where did Feng Yu get the money to invest in the humidifier? Feng Yu said that he invested the money from the humidifiers into the VCD players and then invest in Microsoft?
Even he would not believe such words, let alone the readers. If Feng Yu had sold those companies, it might still be possible. But those companies were not listed or sold. Where did he get the funds to buy Microsoft shares?
Most of the questions in his notebook had no answers! How was he going to write? Based on his own conjecture? This is irresponsible to the readers, not the style of Forbes.
But for a tycoon like Feng Yu to be overlooked by Forbes, isn't this disappointing the loyal readers of Forbes? Also, Forbes is not a quarterly or annual publication. It is a fortnightly publication. Bill Gates knew about Feng Yu's investment, but he could not report it. This made him mad.
Should he report it in the next issue? Feng Yu is from Hua Xia, and Forbes is not published in Hua Xia. This should be fine. Oh, Forbes has a branch in Asia. They might be able to get some results if they investigate.
… …
"Bill Gates." Feng Yu stopped Bill Gates, who was about to leave. "There are no regulations in the company that I must work here every day, right?"
Bill Gates looked at Feng Yu. "Of course not. As the company's director, you have free time. As long as you can do your job well, it doesn't matter."
"Ok. Then I will arrange my work here. I intend to take some time off."
Bill Gates does not know how to reply. Feng Yu had only been working in the company for a few days, and he wants to take a break? But Bill Gates remembered that when he was talking to Feng Yu about his salary, Feng Yu only asked for the regular shares and did not ask for any other salary. Feng Yu's treatment was worse than the rest of the senior management, and it was normal for him to ask for a break.
"Do you need anything? Do you need my help?" Bill Gates asked.
Feng Yu knew that since Bill Gates asked this, he is not being polite. This is the cultural difference between the US and Hua Xia. In Hua Xia, even if you do not want to help, you still have to be polite. If someone asks you for help, you can think of ways to reject it.
But in the US, if you ask for help, it means you are willing to help and will not reject it. If you are not willing to help, you will not even be polite!
"I have been staying in hotels since I came here. I think I should buy a house." Although Microsoft provides housing for its employees, Feng Yu does not want to live in a dormitory like those programmers.
Bill Gates heard what Feng Yu said and immediately got excited. "It is best to build a house yourself. Make it into a big mansion, and everything inside can be built according to your ideas. I know a few good designers, and I can introduce them to you. "
Feng Yu suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Bill Gates's mansion was world-famous. The construction of the mansion started in 1990 and took 7 years to complete. After that, the mansion was remodeled and renovated, and the total cost was 63 million USD. When Bill Gates bought that piece of land, it was only 2 million USD.
Of course, Bill Gates's smart home is worth this much. Someone said that if this mansion is built in a big city like New York or Los Angeles, its value will increase by at least 10 times!
Of course, the decorations in the house are ridiculously expensive. There are many oil paintings worth more than 10 million USD, but most of them are computer graphics.
Feng Yu also likes this kind of mansion, but he does not want to build it in the US. If he wants to build it in Hua Xia, he will build it in Hua Xia, and his family can enjoy it. Also, the location of the house is very important. It must avoid the harsh environment and dangers.
In the US, Feng Yu wants to buy a normal house. It does not need to be big, but it must be safe.
Although Feng Yu had hired a lot of retired soldiers and professional bodyguards, those bodyguards are armed with guns. This makes Feng Yu feel insecure.
This means that the bodyguards think that when someone attacks Feng Yu, they will use guns!
Also, although Feng Yu had chosen the most trustworthy bodyguards, Feng Yu does not trust these people completely. In a public place, perhaps these people would do their best and fulfill their duties. But if someone had evil intentions and wanted to kill Feng Yu and escape by himself, then his house would be the most convenient option.
In a country where guns are not banned, Feng Yu feels insecure. Feng Yu does not know why those people think they are safe just because they have guns. But he feels that even if he has a gun, the thought of others also having guns and can threaten his life from afar makes him unhappy.
That's why Feng Yu will not go to places with poor security in the US. Feng Yu does not want to go there personally to see if those places are really that bad.
"Bill, it will take too long to build my own house. I need to buy a house now. Do you have any recommendations?"
