Chapter 1343
To Gates' left sits Li Linfei, while to his right sits Jeff Bezos, the former richest man in the world, and a unique one with a shiny, shiny, bald head.
"I firmly believe that within the next few years, Mr. Li's personal wealth will continue to surpass that of Mr. Jeff, sitting firmly as the world's richest man, and will also refresh the age of the world's richest man to reach an unprecedented new record, a record that I am afraid no one will be able to break in the next half century."
"The past thirty years is the pc internet era, Microsoft is the internet giant enterprise, so I became the world's richest man in the past decades, the next thirty years belongs to the phc era, the future richest man must Mr. Li, as to how the result, we will see it after three years." At this point, Gates said so.
The crowd here did not have much objection to this.
After a while, 65-year-old Bill looked at Li Linfei who was sitting on one side and said, "The steel king Carnegie once famously said that it is a shame to die with great wealth, so he and Mr. Rockefeller spent their lifetimes using their great wealth for public welfare and charity, helping more strangers and turning small love into great love ......"
When Bill Gates said half of the words, the hearts of the mega-rich bigwigs in the audience tightened, especially several bigwigs in China, secretly exclaiming that they should have known not to sit at the same table with him, who can stand it when it comes up, this old tycoon is really bad.
But suddenly feel heartbroken Li Linfei, this Gates is not a human ah, people are only 21 years old, you will hit the idea to others, others richest ass is not yet warm. "
"Jeff has pledged to donate his entire personal fortune, and although tonight is not a charity gala, I nevertheless sincerely hope that you will join our Naked Giving Club and donate your wealth to the community." Gates craned his head to look at Jeff Bezos as he finished.
And the latter nodded to confirm what he had said, which left the super-rich bigwigs in the audience quite surprised that bald-headed Bezos had also joined the ranks of naked giving?
Li Linfei rolled his eyes for a moment in his mind, he doubted if old man Gates was deliberately looking for a comeback here, after all, Future Technology had dealt a very serious blow to Microsoft.
This Gates guy, ah, last time he went to Papa Ma with Warren Buffett to try to get him to take the lead and promise to donate all his money.
This time, he actually conspired with Bezos, a bald-headed brother, to encourage the naked donation thing, Li Linfei heart slander: brother is only 21 years old, old man Gates you are still human na, actually all down... Last time, Ma Dad responded to Gates naked donation invitation did not say a word no, only asked Buffett a question, said to 80 years old will also be all the money donated.
All the people here were sitting and waiting for him to respond, after a while Li Linfei smiled and said calmly, "Mr. Gates, China is not the same as the United States, the East and the West are not the same culturally and in thinking, and there is a big gap between the level of affluence and poverty in each place, and not everyone is rich."
"So, it's not that by shoving cash directly to the poor, they can just get rid of poverty, sometimes this practice may bring bad effects, there is an old saying passed down in our China that says: it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish."
After saying this, Li Linfei said to himself, "Old man Gates, you want to be the one to spread the money, I don't want to be, whoever likes to be the one to go.
If we speculate in a malicious direction, Bill Gates and his family, as Americans, are paying a heavy inheritance tax on their wealth to their descendants.
"Maybe I should get a good in-depth understanding of Chinese culture." That was the end of Gates' response when he saw him respond with such a jack-of-all-trades, which would have been a casual remark.
Then, with the words falling out of his mouth, Gates took out his mobile phone and, without saying a word, took a picture first, so he handed it to one of the bigwigs next to him to ask for help in pressing the shutter.
Li Linfei was on the left side of Gates, while the big bald Jeff Bezos was in the seat to his right, the three tech giants took a photo together for the first time.
Gates picked up his phone, took a photo together immediately first tweeted first: "I was inspired by the conversation with two great business leaders, Jeff Bezos and Ye Hua." Then the photo was shown.
Bill Gates this can be Li Linfei grandfather generation of tycoons, Li Linfei feel that he as long as he does not mention naked donations, charity these East, or quite a good person, atmosphere, have the heart of such a former former richest man, is also relatively chatty, are already more or less the same status of people, naturally have a lot of topics to talk about.
The outside media portrayed Future Technology and Microsoft Technology as if they were deadly rivals.
But that's only in the business world. In fact, many of the giants who are in competition with each other in business are on good terms with each other in private.
Even, to this level rather than with rivals, because others basically exist because of your wealth, status, especially when the status is not equal, the mentality of natural awe and tendency to those in high places.
......
"Mr. Li, I salute you!"
"Mr. Li, make yourself at home, I'll drink this cup first."
"Mr. Li, this cup I toast you." At the dinner party, all the big bosses, company ceo's, founders and so on that Li Linfei didn't even know came running to give him a toast first and mix with him.
But this picture is also refreshing enough, a large wave of old bosses who are almost twice as old as Li Linfei have toasted him, this is definitely an extremely rare picture.
There was also no shortage of beautiful women in the workplace elite, all kinds of winks and autumnal waves, and Ye Hua dared to swear that he could do whatever he wanted as long as he wanted.
Rather interestingly, there was also a small episode related to Li Linfei at the dinner, an old boss, also unknown to him, came over to toast and chatted eagerly for quite some time.
In fact, he wanted to ask for his business card from Li Linfei, and he quickly understood that although he didn't want to give it, he didn't want to give a smile on this occasion, others were so sincere, so he had to mean it.
But Li Linfei reached into the inner pocket of his formal wear and found it empty, which is why he knew he didn't have one on him, which is a bit awkward. If you say you don't have one on you, even if it's the truth, I'm afraid people will think you don't want to give it, a perfunctory move. It would be a bit rude.
Chapter 1344
But that old boss saw his hand stop in his pocket for about 1.7 seconds and quickly saw that Li Linfei either didn't want to give it or didn't have it with him.
But that old boss's brain reacted quickly and made the most correct choice at the first opportunity, as he hastily took the initiative to hand over his business card to defuse the embarrassing scene that was about to arise.
If he had waited, wouldn't that have made Li Linfei even more embarrassed? This would be the same as invariably offending such a big shot, originally coming to get close and mingle with him, only to have the big shot lose face in a bad way.
This kind of occasion play is fast brain of the immediate reaction, strong resourcefulness to do not leak, some people can mix in the circle like a fish in the water, some people but no one asked, that is not by chance.
Unless they are the absolute core position, they are definitely mixed with the average.
The time slowly passed, Li Linfei entertained a lot of people, but he did not drink much, but received a dozen business cards, after a trip to the bathroom, by the way all directly thrown in the trash.
The dinner was very formal, and all the attendees were billionaire bosses, not to mention leading business and technology figures like Ye Hua, Gates, Jeff, Bob Swan and many others.
No one at the party was really talking about anything related to technology or the future, no, the future was still talked about, but it was all about their own future.
Basically, networking is what people at the banquet are doing, and there are quite a few people pulling in investments, even though it's an AI forum, but this kind of conference naturally involves people from the capital circle.
However, this dinner is less vase, the lack of warbling dinner flowers, but let the whole dinner looks solemn formal, but also deserve it, after all, came a large group of domestic and foreign technology and business giants, and there are reporters, this is not a private dinner.
But it's the entertainment industry that plays the most flamboyant game of this kind, and it's the same gang that does it.
After all, the insiders say that if there are no women, even the meatiest meals are just vegetarian.
On the second day of the conference, Li Linfei attended an ai symposium and sat down with some of the biggest names in the industry to discuss.
The key is to be able to justify and convince people.
The storytelling is the basic operation of the bigwigs, all of them are veterans in this area, and when it comes to storytelling, one is more than the other, although Li Linfei is also a good storyteller.
But in this area, the former bigwigs are much better storytellers than he is, and they can open their mouths and talk at length, so to speak.
The key is that there is a lot more detail in it. Well, Li Linfei said that he still has to learn from the seniors in terms of storytelling ability.
After this seminar, Li Linfei also ended his trip to the AI conference.
But he didn't stay idle either, as this forum exchange continued for a third day, he also started planning to organize another conference.
......
On the last day of the AI Conference.
The Future Technology Group building in Shanghai, inside the leisure room.
Li Linfei was playing indoor golf comfortably with a golf club in hand and a 4.2m long bionic green lawn at his feet.
At this time Li Bingling came and then sat down on a chair.
"The information you asked me to prepare about global car production, sales, production and sales by model from 2011 to 2021 has been compiled." Li Bingling placed a document she had brought on his desk top.
"Briefly." Li Linfei took a sip of tea to refresh himself and leaned his back against the sofa.
"From the past 10 years, overall global auto production has maintained steady growth, with global auto production at 77.7 million units in 2011, 94.97 million units in 2017, and 116.8 million units in 2021 last year."
"With the development of the global automotive industry, the automotive industry is one of the largest industries in the world today and is a pillar industry in developed countries in Europe and the US, Japan, Germany and other countries."
"The new driverless car with artificial intelligence as the driving force at the moment is already a major trend in the future, and my company's artificial intelligence technology and holographic display technology can completely play a pivotal role in it when they complement each other. I guess you don't just want to have artificial intelligence technology introduced, but you want to have phc bundled into the car in order to expand the phc ecosystem on ...... right?"
Li Linfei nodded, talking and doing, and said, "Such a quick insight into my intentions, good, phc as a separate electrical product is a high-end consumer product, but if you treat it as a supporting on-board system for the car, it's relatively cheap."
"And as the core technology for driverless driving, it gains value, and for every car sold in the future that introduces phc-hosted driverless driving, there is an additional user base for the phc ecosystem."
"I'm curious as to why we don't go it alone ourselves. Don't we have two major car companies, Wafa Motors and General Motors, which can be fully built through phc as well?" Li Bingling asked.
"No, you hear me out first." Li Linfei said.
"Cars, this is a major pillar type industry in developed countries in Europe and America, this time I intend to send out a wide hero post in the automotive world, calling on global automotive giants to discuss the emerging driverless cars."
"In addition to enriching the phc ecological chain and pulling the auto giants in Europe and America to play together, the hidden purpose of which is to tie up more vested interest groups so that the more stable the heel of Future Technology stands in the European and American markets."
Li Linfei opened the document and looked at it, and had to say that the information Li Bingling had compiled was very detailed.
Car sales grew at the fastest rate in 2011, reaching 14, while 2016 to 2017 were affected by the global economic downturn, although sales still maintained a low growth rate, and only in 2020 was the global car market boom able to improve.
According to the World Association of the Automotive Industry, global passenger car sales reached 85.08 million units and commercial vehicle sales reached 31.72 million units last year.
