Chapter 1298 I Appreciate You Very Much

For the top tycoons in the United States, they already have a lot of experience in charity. Almost every tycoon has more than one charitable foundation under their name. Some foundations are used to help specific groups of people, while others are used for certain Public welfare projects, or scientific research projects that are helpful to human beings.

Americans have long been accustomed to the philanthropy routines of the rich in the United States, so now the social influence brought by the rich in the United States is not great. In addition, Li Mu disclosed in his speech at Harvard that the "charitable foundation" of the top rich "The way of playing has caused many fake charities and real tax evasion foundations to be seen through by the discerning people, so the society is even more disapproving of the wealthy people's charitable foundations.

Before the exposure of the Veteran’s Undead Charity Foundation, the rich in the United States couldn’t believe that using 100 million yuan to set up a charity foundation could arouse such great recognition, repercussions, and such strong support in the society.

The social influence brought by the Veterans Undead Charity Foundation to Li Mu can be said to have completely surpassed all private charitable foundations in the world, and has completely sublimated to a new level. While they were stunned, they were also envious.

Nowadays, the eyes of the people have indeed become sharper, and the mere hype is meaningless, so some people turned their attention to Li Mu.

Li Mu is the founder of the Undead Veterans Charity Foundation. This foundation has received great recognition in China and even the world. If at this time, he can join hands with Li Mu to establish a charity foundation for the Undying Veterans in other countries, then The public's attitude towards this charitable foundation is bound to improve a lot.

If you want to take advantage of Li Mu's enthusiasm, you can only have the greatest effect if you get Li Mu's approval.

Within a day, Li Mu successively received direct contacts from several top rich men in the United States, including Bill Gates, the world's richest man, Buffett, the stock god, Larry Page, the founder of Google, and Larry Ellison, the boss of Oracle. I had phone conversations with Li Mu one after another, and I sincerely requested on the phone to cooperate with Li Mu to establish the 'Veterans Never Die-American Charity Foundation' in the United States.

The specific needs of several bigwigs are quite consistent, and they all hope that this foundation can be attached to Li Mu's Veteran's Immortal Charity Foundation in name, so that the blood can be guaranteed to be pure; in addition, they also hope that the foundation can Maintain independence in the actual operation, say to maintain independence, in fact, the subtext is also saying: all the specific operations of this foundation have nothing to do with Li Mu, Li Mu does not need it, let alone has the right to dictate.

The big bosses knew it was not appropriate to take advantage of this kind of thing, so they all gave their own "prices" respectively. Bill Gates was willing to donate 10 million to Li Mu's Veteran's Undead Charity Foundation for this. US dollars, Buffett's is 15 million, Larry Page and Larry Ellison, both Larry and Larry Ellison, are asking prices in RMB, and the prices are all 100 million RMB.

The reason why they chose the price of 100 million yuan was presumably because they had read the news reports and knew that Li Mu was using 100 million yuan to establish the Veteran’s Undead Charity Foundation, so they also offered this price, and at the same time thought that the sale was already done. Very generous.

Li Mu is particularly displeased with the behavior of these "big bosses". The first dissatisfaction is that these people take reputation too seriously. In their eyes, the primary purpose of charity may be reputation, and the second is that charity can help people in need. What kind of help does the group bring; the second discomfort is that these gangsters seem to treat themselves as children.

In other words, they underestimated their size and underestimated their appetite.

Li Mu is indeed a rising star among the richest people in the world, and he is also the youngest one. Most importantly, although Li Mu can already rank among these bigwigs in terms of social status, since most of Li Mu's business is in China, these The boss didn't know enough about him.

Moreover, Li Mu felt that they were thinking too much, and that they thought themselves stupid.

Ever since, Li Mu made a decision, he decided to personally bring the charity project "Veterans Don't Die" to the United States, but his energy is indeed limited, and Liu Xinxin couldn't have this time, so Li Mu thought of a new one. Method.

...

On the morning of the "Veterans Don't Die China Internet Industry Spring City Charity Night", Li Mu called Elon Musk.

It was night in the United States, and Elon Musk received a call from Li Mu. He congratulated him as soon as he came up: "Mr. Li, I really want to congratulate you! Your charity project that veterans don't die is really popular all over the United States." , the United States is full of praise for you and this charity project. You are definitely the most respected and recognized entrepreneur in the United States. Even entrepreneurs in the United States may not be able to compare. From a standpoint, it was really a success.”

Li Mu smiled and said: "As long as you do charity with your heart, it is inevitable to be recognized by the society. Although I don't do charity for the sake of reputation, but now this feeling is pretty good. At least it can influence many rich people and make them feel good about it. Charitable interest."

Elon Musk laughed and said: "I heard that many big shots in the United States are contacting you, hoping to borrow your light, what conditions have they offered you?"

Li Mu said: "Their conditions are not what I am interested in, but they have given me a little inspiration."

Then, Li Mu asked Elon Musk: "Elon, how much cash do you have at your disposal now?"

"Cash?" Elon Musk said embarrassingly: "Not much. I made some investments and financial management in exchange for the cash I transferred PayPal shares. I also paid off part of the debt. There are still tens of millions of dollars left."

Speaking of this, Elon Musk asked again: "Mr. Li, why are you asking this?"

Li Mu hummed, and suddenly asked him: "Are you interested in taking out five million dollars, and I will ask Muye Technology's US branch to give five million dollars, and we will establish a veterans' undead American charity foundation in the United States?"

Elon Musk was stunned for a moment.

His current worth is far from the top richest man in the United States, but he is very well informed. When American rich men want to establish charitable foundations similar to veterans in the United States, he has already captured the intentions of these bigwigs , I also heard today that several top bosses have already contacted Li Mu, hoping to get the derivatives of the Veteran’s Undying project from Li Mu’s hands. A considerable amount of money was invested in the foundation, and Li Mu was also promised a certain "copyright fee".

But he never expected that Li Mu would take the initiative to take this project out and do it with him.

The surprised Elon Musk asked for a long time: "Mr. Li, why me?"

Li Mu said, "Because I know you best."

Elon Musk said again: "But they should have given you a very good offer..."

Li Mu snorted and asked him back, "What kind of shit offer do you think I need them to give me?"

Elon Musk got it right away!

I see!

Although Li Mu is young, it does not mean that he is immature, nor does it mean that he really wants to respect the old and love the young in the circle of the top rich man. Although it is impolite to refuse the olive branch thrown by others, he really does not need any offer from the top rich man , although everyone's age has been checked a lot, but the value and future development space are really not much different.

Afterwards, Li Mu continued: "Muye Technology has entered the US market not long ago, and there is still a long way to go in the US market in the future. I not only hope that YY can gain a firm foothold in the United States and develop in the long term, but also hope that Makino Technology can become a company popular with the American people. An Internet company that accepts, welcomes, and respects, the opportunity of this charitable foundation, leaving Makino Technology is the best choice, and it will allow Makino Technology to get enough respect in the United States.”

"Of course!" Elon Musk said: "In this case, it would be better for Makino Technology to operate this project by itself, and you don't need to let me get involved!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Elon, we are friends, I appreciate you very much, and I believe that there will be many cooperation projects between us in the future, I hope we can be closely bound together in the future, so this foundation, It was the beginning of our cooperation at that time, if you are interested, give me a clear answer, and I will immediately ask Xue Qingying to contact you to discuss follow-up matters, if you don’t want to, I won’t force it.”

Li Mu is several years younger than Elon Musk, but he said the sentence "I appreciate you very much" very naturally, and Elon Musk didn't feel any sense of disobedience, although Li Mu is much younger than himself, But he is indeed more successful than himself, so to get such a direct affirmation from him, Elon Musk also benefits greatly.

At the same time, Elon Musk is also very clear that Li Mu's words are actually more of a solicitation, hoping to bind himself with him and Muye Technology in the future.

For Elon Musk, he also hopes to become a community of interests with Li Mu, and it is best to cooperate with him more. The most ideal situation is naturally to become an equal and equal partner with Li Mu, but After all, this is unrealistic. With Li Mu's current status and status, he no longer needs equal partners. What he needs are unequal followers.

Li Mu is the founder of an ecology. This ecology is like a towering tree in the forest. In the process of growth, it will not and does not need to cooperate with towering trees of the same level or higher than him. He needs to What is more important is to nurture more creatures in one's own big tree while continuing to grow taller and flourish.

What it needs are birds in the treetops, monkeys in the branches, squirrels in the tree holes, mushrooms in the roots and moss in the shade.

These are all the dependents of the towering tree, and they are part of the towering tree's ecology.

Now, the olive branch thrown by Li Mu actually means to ask Elon Musk if he is interested in becoming a part of this huge ecology.
